Chapter Four Hundred
The warehouse groaned under the weight of its own destruction. Sparks hissed from twisted metal, smoke curled in thick black tendrils, and flames licked the edges of broken crates that had once been neatly stacked along the walls.Every sound—the drip of water from a punctured pipe, the occasional snap of a loose beam, the low roar of a fire consuming debris—seemed amplified in the cavernous space. Nathan’s chest heaved as he kept Marjorie firmly in his grasp, her wrist tight in his hand.Her usual composure, the predator’s confidence she carried like armor was gone. Fear had replaced it, raw and jagged, and Nathan felt an unusual rush of satisfaction mix with the tension that never left him in moments like this.Cassandra moved just behind him, keeping her weapon trained, eyes scanning every shadow, every corner where a stray spark could ignite another disaster. She had learned long ago to anticipate Nathan’s thinking, to move as an extension of his strategy rather than independent o
Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine
The warehouse shuddered, flames twisting into black smoke that stung Nathan’s eyes and filled his lungs, but he didn’t falter. Marjorie’s face, pale and wide-eyed, stared back at him from the edge of the broken catwalk. For the first time, she was no longer the predator. Every trap she had set, every manipulative scheme she had orchestrated, had been turned against her. She was exposed, and Nathan, Liam, and Cassandra moved like a single, lethal unit, closing in without hesitation.“Marjorie,” Nathan called, his voice echoing over the roar of the fire. “It ends now. No more games. Step down, or face the consequences of everything you’ve done.”Her lips curled into a fleeting, desperate smile. “Consequences… you have no idea what I’m capable of!”Cassandra’s eyes narrowed, weapon trained steadily. “Try me.”Liam moved to the other side, cutting off her escape route. “You wanted chaos, you wanted fear, you wanted control—but you forgot one thing: you can’t break what refuses to bend.”M
Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight
Marjorie’s body sagged against Nathan’s grip, smoke curling around them, flames licking dangerously close. Her face was pale, eyes wide—not with arrogance, but with fear. For the first time in her life, she was cornered, and the realization hit her like a blade. She was no longer the predator. She was exposed, vulnerable, completely at the mercy of those she had spent years trying to manipulate.Nathan held her tightly, his jaw clenched, every muscle taut with controlled fury. “It’s over,” he said, voice low and lethal. “No tricks. No more games. Every betrayal, every manipulation, every life you thought you controlled—you’re done.”Marjorie’s lips trembled as she tried to speak. “You… you don’t understand… I’ve survived worse. You think you’re the first to corner me? To—”“You’ve underestimated us,” Cassandra cut in sharply, weapon still trained on her, eyes flashing with anger and disbelief at all the chaos Marjorie had caused. “You think just because you set traps and played people
Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Seven
Marjorie’s grip on the railing trembled, her breath coming in shallow, sharp gasps. The smoke swirled around her, thick and blinding, flames licking at the edges of her precarious perch. For the first time, she wasn’t in control. For the first time, the carefully orchestrated chaos she had relied on felt like a cage, and Nathan, Liam, and Cassandra were closing in like predators who had finally learned her rhythm.Nathan stepped forward cautiously, the heat from the flames warming his skin but not slowing him. “It’s over, Marjorie. Every lie, every trap, every betrayal—it ends here.”Marjorie’s eyes flashed with defiance. “You… you can’t possibly think you’ve won. I built this. I am… untouchable!”Cassandra’s voice was cold, unwavering. “Untouchable? Maybe. But not unstoppable. Not tonight.”The catwalk groaned again under Marjorie’s weight. Sparks showered down, and for a fleeting moment, she lost her balance. Nathan’s eyes narrowed. He could see the fear, sharp and raw, slicing thro

The heat from the flames had begun to blister the air, thick smoke stinging their eyes and lungs, but Nathan didn’t hesitate. Every second counted. Every moment Marjorie lingered on the catwalk above was another opportunity for her to strike or disappear. The chaos of the warehouse was no longer an obstacle—it was the battlefield where the next move would decide everything.Nathan’s voice cut through the smoke. “Cassandra, flank left. Liam, cover right. I’ll draw her down. Keep your eyes sharp.”Cassandra nodded without a word, moving silently over the debris, each step calculated. Liam’s stance mirrored Nathan’s resolve, tense but controlled, ready to act at a moment’s notice. Sparks rained from broken wiring overhead, igniting small fires on crates and metal, but they pressed on. The warehouse had become a labyrinth of peril, each corner a potential death trap.From the shadows, Marjorie’s voice echoed, calm yet sharp. “You think you’re in control? You’re walking into a symphony of
Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Five
The roar of the collapsing catwalk echoed through the warehouse like a thunderclap. Sparks and flames erupted in every direction as debris rained down, sending thick clouds of smoke curling around Nathan, Cassandra, and Liam. Their lungs burned, eyes stung, but there was no time to pause—Marjorie had planned every inch of this chaos, and surviving it meant moving faster than the storm itself.Nathan grabbed Cassandra’s arm, pulling her to the side as a massive steel beam crashed where she had been seconds before. “Keep moving! Don’t let her dictate the pace!”Liam swung a metal pipe into a collapsing stack of crates, clearing a path while forcing a few of the remaining attackers back. “She’s not here to fight fair! Every second counts!”From above, Marjorie’s voice rang down, calm and mocking despite the chaos. “You’re persistent… I’ll give you that. But persistence doesn’t unmake a trap you walked straight into.”Nathan’s eyes scanned the wreckage. He could see the faint outline of a
