Chapter 114 – The Fall Into Secrets
The wind howled past Alan’s ears, the world a blur of shadow and steel as he plummeted into the abyss. Time fractured, stretching into an eternity where every heartbeat was a thunderclap, every gasp of breath a desperate fight against the inevitable.The pit yawned beneath him like the throat of some mechanical beast, broken gears jutting like teeth, fires smoldering in oil-black pools. The air reeked of chemicals and decay.Alan’s arms flailed, instinct fighting against gravity’s merciless pull. His ribs screamed, his head spun, and the thought struck him with bone-deep clarity: this is how it ends. But then, his fingers grazed steel.A hanging cable whipped against him. He latched on, pain tearing through his dislocated shoulder as the momentum wrenched his body sideways.His boots slammed into a beam, jolting the breath from his lungs. For a moment, the world shrank to the groan of straining metal and the fire in his muscles.Then silence. He dangled in the dark, suspended above th
Chapter 113 – Shadows in the Glass
The warehouse stank of rust, oil, and blood. Alan stood motionless, every nerve in his body alive, every muscle straining against the silence that seemed heavier than the steel beams above him.The floor beneath his boots was slick, a thin sheen of water reflecting broken light bulbs that dangled like hanged men from frayed wires. The shadows rippled across the walls like specters, watching, mocking, waiting.Somewhere in this cavernous labyrinth, Ethan was breathing. Alan didn’t need to see him. He could feel it.That same aura that had haunted his childhood, whispers in dark corridors, cold stares across dinner tables, the weight of a presence that thrived on fear.Ethan had been his ghost, his curse, his brother and his nightmare. And now, here, with their blood running hot and the world collapsing around them, Alan knew this was no longer about revenge.It was survival. And survival meant Ethan had to die. Alan tightened his grip on the pistol. His ribs still ached from the last a
Chapter 122 – No pain, No Gain
The gunshot still rang in Alan’s ears as the chair tipped and his sister screamed. Time slowed.The world vanished, the rifles, the shadows, the grinning demon of Ethan, all of it dissolved into a single point of horror: her body plunging into the black pit below.Alan’s heart stopped. His lungs seized. His mind roared one truth, louder than bullets, louder than fear.Not again. He threw himself forward.The pistol clattered across the concrete as Alan dove into the abyss, chains rattling, blood pouring from the wound in his side. His body slammed into the void, darkness swallowing him whole.Wind howled past his ears. The stench of oil and rust hit his nose. And through the blur, he saw her, the ropes snapping loose, her body tumbling, eyes wide with terror.“ALAN!”Her scream ripped him open. He stretched out, fingers clawing the air, ribs screaming as he twisted, dove, reached, And caught her wrist.The impact nearly tore his arm from its socket. Pain ripped through him like fire. H
Chapter 121 – Into the Wolf’s Den
Alan’s knuckles bled from the way he gripped the gun. His breath rasped in his throat, harsh and ragged, but he forced his body forward. Ethan had taken her. Again.The three words scrawled on the safehouse wall seared themselves into Alan’s skull: “She’s mine now.”Alan’s mind screamed at him to think, to plan, to calculate his next step with precision. But his heart roared louder, drowning out logic with a single, unyielding truth: if he didn’t move now, she was gone forever.The city was alive with noise, sirens, engines, drunken laughter spilling from neon-lit bars. But Alan’s world had narrowed to a single trail.Ethan was too smart to leave fingerprints, but Alan knew him now. Knew the rhythm of his cruelty, the twisted poetry in the way he played his games.And Ethan always left a trail, not for the police, not for rivals, but for Alan alone. Alan traced the signs with a predator’s instinct: a knocked-over trash bin still rolling in the breeze, the faint trace of blood on a cha
Chapter 120 – The Hunt Begins
The night air was supposed to be cool, but Alan felt nothing but fire. Smoke clung to his skin, the stench of gasoline and charred wood still burning his lungs.His sister trembled in his arms, her face buried against his chest, sobbing as though the world had ended. And for Alan, it almost had. Ethan was still alive.The thought gnawed at him like a vulture on bone. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Ethan’s bloody grin, heard that laughter that had echoed even as the knife sank into his ribs.He should’ve died there, in the flames, consumed by the inferno. But he hadn’t. He had slipped away, like smoke vanishing into the night.Alan clenched his fists, chains biting into his skin. “Not again,” he muttered through gritted teeth. Sirens wailed in the distance, growing louder. Fire trucks, police. Too late, as always. Too useless.Alan couldn’t risk staying, questions would drown him, authorities would chain him down, and Ethan would vanish for good. He couldn’t let that happen. Not
Chapter 119 – Fire and Blood
The flames roared like a living beast, swallowing the warehouse in crackling fury. Heat blasted against Alan’s skin, scorching the air from his lungs.His sister’s muffled screams cut through the inferno, desperate, terrified, urging him forward. But Ethan was there. Always there.The knife slashed again, silver glinting in the firelight. Alan twisted, the blade grazing his cheek, burning as though the fire itself had kissed him.He drove his chained fists forward, steel smashing against Ethan’s jaw with a brutal crack. Ethan staggered but didn’t fall. His grin widened, blood dripping from his lip.“Good!” Ethan snarled over the roar of the flames. “Let it out, brother! Show me the rage they buried in you!”Alan lunged, driving his shoulder into Ethan’s chest, sending them both crashing into the concrete floor. The knife skittered away into the shadows.Alan straddled him, fists hammering down, chains biting his wrists as each blow cracked against Ethan’s skull.“You’re not my brother
