CHAPTER 86
Michelle’s breath came in shallow bursts as she stared at the aged photograph lying face-up on the carpet. The resemblance to Marty was undeniable. It wasn’t just a passing similarity; it was as if someone had taken a snapshot of her son years into the past and placed it in this worn frame.Her fingers trembled as she reached down and picked up the photo. The paper felt fragile beneath her touch, the edges frayed from years of handling or perhaps from being hidden away. She traced the outline of the boy’s face with the tip of her index finger, her chest tightening with a confusing mix of warmth and unease. For a moment, she allowed herself to imagine what it would mean if this wasn’t mere coincidence. But the thought was too heavy, too loaded with questions she wasn’t ready to ask while Richard was hundreds of miles away facing dangers she could only guess at.“No,” she whispered firmly to the empty room, shaking her head as if to dislodge the idea. “It’s just a coincidence. Children
CHAPTER 95
Richard’s expression remained cool with his hands relaxed at his sides. He wasn’t surprised when the lead figure emerged. A tall, broad-shouldered man in a well-tailored suit who adjusted his jacket with an air of authority. Godfrey McDonald, the commissioner of police for New Orleans, fixed his gaze on Richard with disdain. Jonas clearly still wielded enough influence in this city to mobilize someone at this level.Godfrey approached with careful steps, stopping a few feet away. He didn’t bother with formalities or introductions. "Richard Carter,” he stated flatly, his voice carrying the weight of someone who believed he had all the power in the city. “I never imagined I’d have the displeasure of arresting a high-profile criminal like you on my watch.”Rico tensed beside Richard, but Richard himself showed no reaction beyond a tilt of his head.Godfrey continued, his tone growing louder and more theatrical as he listed the charges. “You’re under arrest for illegal entry into the co
CHAPTER 84
Richard stood by the window, his tall frame against the dim glow of streetlights outside. He had just ended a secure call with one of his trusted intel contacts. Jonas’ location had not changed. If anything, it felt as though the man was deliberately waiting, daring Richard to make the first move.Richard sighed, as he slipped the encrypted phone back into his pocket. His thoughts drifted back to Michelle. The sound of her voice during their earlier conversation had wrapped around him ever since then. She had sounded relieved, trying to hide the worry beneath her words, but he had heard it anyway. A rare smile tugged at the corner of his lips. She affected him in ways he had never anticipated, softening places in his heart he once believed were permanently hardened. She reminded him that there was more to live for than revenge and power.His mind then shifted to Marty. The boy’s bright, intelligent eyes and handsome little face refused to leave his thoughts. The way Marty had hugged h
CHAPTER 83
Somewhere across the city, in the Donovan family residence, Yohan stood in his father’s study, frustration evident in the way he moved as he flipped through piles of documents. Drawers were pulled open and files were scattered across the polished surface. “There has to be something,” he muttered under his breath.His mother’s earlier words echoed in his mind. His father was hiding something big and Yohan intended to find out what it was.He pulled open another drawer, scanning its contents quickly, his movements growing more restless with each passing second.“Where is it…” he muttered.Just as he reached for another file, the door behind him opened.Yohan froze as he turned around slowly. His father stood at the entrance, his expression darkening as he stared at Yohan. “What do you think you’re doing?” Eric Donovan barked.He stepped inside with a scowl on his face as he stared at the mess in his office. “What the hell are you doing in here?” he barked again. For a second, surpr
CHAPTER 82
The mall which had always lifted Michelle’s spirits, now felt like a passing moment of joy as her gaze locked onto the couple ahead. Daniel walked towards her with Ivanna at his side, with that familiar smirk already curling his lips.After the last stunt he tried to pull, she had hoped it would end there yet there he was, coming to her with that smug look all over his face.“Shopping without your guard dog today, Michelle? Where’s that billionaire husband of yours? Off building more empires while you play housewife?” his harsh words rang out as he stopped before their shopping cart with a look of scorn on his face. Michelle sighed but she kept her expression calm. She refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her rattled. “I'm too busy to entertain you today. Move away.”She turned to leave, but Daniel's hand shot out, his fingers wrapping firmly around her wrist. “Not so fast. We need to talk about Marty. I’ll be needing to meet him soon. I want to introduce my son to my fam
CHAPTER 81
If there was one thing Richard knew about Jonas, it was that he would not sit still and wait to be found. He was not careless, and he was not weak. If anything, he had proven to be far more patient and calculating than Richard had initially expected. The traps would already be in place. Every step forward would likely be watched, anticipated, and tested.But that did not matter.Richard exhaled as his face hardened with resolve.He was no longer the boy who had once stood helpless in the face of loss. He was no longer the young man who had been forced to watch his world collapse and was unable to stop it. He was no longer Richard Viktor, now, he was Richard Carter.He now stood at the peak of an empire built from nothing and commanded fear and respect, even from the president. Now, he has a family once again and he would not allow history to repeat itself. He would not allow another Sinclair to take anything from him again.Michelle woke not long after, and the first thing that came
