BETWEEN THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
Jayden’s heart was pounding fast.He wanted to say it.He wanted to tell her who he really was—that he was Marvin Richmond, the man she loved and missed, the father of her baby. The man she thought was dead.But he couldn’t.Not now.Stella needed help. She was bleeding, shaking, barely able to speak.This wasn’t the time for truth. It was the time to act.“Stay with me, Stella,” Jayden whispered, holding her shoulders gently. “Help is coming. Just hold on.”She blinked slowly, her body was trembling. Blood continued to drip down her dress, pooling on the office floor. Her lips parted again, but only a soft breath came out.Jayden knelt beside her, wrapping his arms around her back to keep her steady in the chair. She felt cold. Too cold.“Breathe,” he said, trying to keep his voice calm. “You’re not alone.”He kept his hand on hers, watching the blood. It felt like time was moving too slowly and too fast at the same time.Then—the door burst open.Four people rushed into the office,
A NAME SHE STILL WHISPERS
Jayden stood still.He had seen Stella angry, calm, commanding. But never like this.Tears rolled down her cheeks slowly, silently. She didn’t hide them.She looked vulnerable—something she had never allowed herself to be.Her eyes stayed on the window for a long second. Her voice, when it came, was soft and cracked.“I’m scared, Jayden.”He didn’t say anything. He just listened.She wiped her cheek, but more tears came. “Every night, I lie awake. This whole power play in Westwood—it’s killing me slowly. I smile during the day, act like everything’s under control… but when the lights are off, it’s different.”She rubbed her stomach again, slow and gentle. Like the motion helped her stay grounded. Her fingers moved carefully over the curve of her belly.“Jayden…” Her voice shook slightly. “When this baby is born, everything changes. I don’t just have to protect our people—I have to protect someone who hasn’t even seen the world yet.”Jayden stepped closer, but said nothing. There was
EVIDENCE AND EXHAUSTION
Jayden drove through the lower district fast, with his eyes always checking the mirrors. The bag beside him pulsed slightly, the soft glow from the suppressor was hidden under layers of cloth. His grip on the wheel was tight. He didn’t slow until he passed the last security checkpoint and pulled up into the underground lot beneath the high-rise building of the Orion dynamics headquarters.He parked the car. The engine cut off.Silence.He grabbed the bag and stepped out. A flickering overhead light buzzed above him as he walked toward the elevator.The Nexus van mission was done—but his real work was just beginning.He hit the button.The elevator blinked. It was Broken. Typical.Jayden didn’t wait. He turned for the stairwell and pushed the heavy door open. The concrete steps stretched endlessly upward, cold and narrow.He climbed fast.Floor 72… floor 80… floor 89…By floor 91, his legs burned. His lungs fought for air.But his mind was clear.Vincent Arceneaux had rigged the t
THE SUPPRESSOR THAT DIDN'T SUPPRESS
The enforcer closest to the van tapped the side of his helmet. “Visual locked. Possible kinetic synapticore user. Direction—east quadrant.”The second enforcer stepped forward, scanning with a long-barreled rifle. The lens on top adjusted with a quiet click-click-click, reading heat signatures.Jayden held his breath.He had to stay perfectly still.Any heat spike, any movement—and they’d lock on.They began to split up.One circled to the left, toward the flower beds and seating areas.The other remained near the vans, scanning the rooftops, the benches, everything.Jayden watched from behind the bench, calculating.He had maybe ten seconds before they reached his hiding spot.Ten seconds to disappear.Ten seconds to think of his next move.The glass from the van crunched under the boots of the enforcer checking the damage. “Target was precise. Controlled. No visible origin point. Could be cloaked.”Jayden cursed silently.They thought he was more advanced than he really was.That wa
BLUE GLOW AND BLACK ARMOUR
Jayden’s mind was racing. His body was still sore from what he had just felt. But something else was bothering him now—something big.The suppressor unit.It was placed right in front of Judge Hayes during the trial. That device was made by Nexus—the strongest human-run organization left in Westwood. Its job was simple: to block powers. No psychic energy, no synapticore, no mind-reading, nothing. As long as it was working, no one—not even someone as strong as Vincent—should’ve been able to affect the judge’s mind.And yet… she was clearly compromised.Jayden’s jaw tightened.Either the suppressor was broken…Or someone had turned it off.Either way, he needed answers.His eyes darted around the courtroom, scanning for the Nexus enforcers.They were supposed to be here. Five of them. Always assigned to legal trials involving powerful beings. Always in black gear, always carrying their special weapons—guns that could knock out any powered person for five minutes with one hit. Long en
TOUCHED BY CHAOS
Jayden stayed seated, his body was still, but his mind was storming. He couldn’t believe what just happened. Carl had been defeated—right in front of everyone. All the evidence, all the truth, and still… they lost.Across the room, Vincent Arceneaux stood, calm and smooth like always. He adjusted his suit, buttoned the jacket, then turned with an elegant step toward the judge’s bench.Jayden’s eyes followed him sharply.Then it happened.Vincent walked up and extended his hand to Judge Hayes.A handshake?Why?Why would a man who just won a court case need to shake hands with the judge?Jayden leaned forward slightly, eyes narrowing.Judge Hayes didn’t hesitate. She stood and shook Vincent’s hand with a nod and a faint smile.To most people, it would look normal. Just a polite gesture between two professionals. But to Jayden, something about that handshake didn’t sit right.It wasn’t normal.It wasn’t right.Something else was going on.A strange tingling sensation ran down Jayden’s
