Chapter 156
The sky was still dark grey when the first light of morning began to creep over the high walls of the mansion. Only the soft sound of birds starting to wake could be heard in the guard.Carl stepped out of the main entrance dressed in a gym wear about going for a run, he walked across the wide front lawn, but stopped when he caught a glimpse of someone lying down.Carl blinked and moved closer to take a better look only to discover it was Harrison, laying stretched out on the grass, one arm under his head, eyes closed, his clothes were wrinkled and he looked like he had been there for hours.Carl stared at him and a smile pulled at his lips. “Well, well,” he whispered to himself. “Who do we have here?”He quickly pulled out his phone, and opened the camera app, then stepped closer, careful not to make noise. He raised the phone, aimed, and pressed the button.The flash lit up the dark morning like a small explosion of white light. Harrison’s eyes flew open, he sat up fast, blinking ha

“I warned you not to go in that you would regret it, but you refused to listen to me.” Harrison smirked and stepped in front of her.Janet’s shoulder tensed, she raised her head and met his gaze, her eyes red but dry. “Get out of my way, Harrison.”“No,” he said calmly and she raised her brows. “Not yet, you and I still have words to exchange.”She tried to walk around him, he moved with her, blocking the path again, she had insulted him earlier, and now it was his time to rejoice in her humiliation.“You already ruined the night,” she snapped. “Isn’t that enough?”“Enough?” Harrison tilted his head. “You walked in there bragging you were invited, you laughed at me when the bouncers stopped me, you called me a jealous loser, now look at you, sneaking out the side door like a thief.”Janet gritted her teeth. “You set me up! You had your people humiliate me in front of everyone!”“I only kept the promise I made outside those doors.” Harrison answered. “I told you that you would regret g

Janet scoffed when he said she would regret coming here. “That is rich coming from who wasn’t allowed to go in.” Janet crossed her arms and tilted her head. “Stop disgracing yourself and leave, you don’t belong here.”Harrison kept his face calm. “You should leave as well, take my advice.”Janet stepped closer, he head held high. “David invited me. He said this night would change everything, I get to talk directly to the chairman of Diamond global, and David had promised me a position at the company. And here I am, walking straight through those doors strictly on invitation, while you can’t even step inside, stopping at the gate like a delivery boy,”Harrison’s eyebrows lifted. “David told you to come here?” he asked.“Of course,” Janet boasted. “He keeps his word, unlike some people.” Janet’s eyes sparkled with spite. “You’re just angry because the bouncers saw right through you, no invitation and no proper outfit for the occasion, you’re just a nobody.”Harrison’s jaw tightened, but

“Orders don’t care about family tonight,” the second bouncer said, one hand resting near the radio on his belt. “Turn around, please.”For a moment Harrison’s gaze flickered to the gate, he could push past them, he could make a scene loud enough that someone inside would come out, but he didn’t want to draw attention to himself.He nodded and stepped back, then turned toward the long driveway that led to the public road.He had taken only seven steps when he heard a soft click of heels behind him on the stone followed by a familiar mocking voice.“Well, well, well,” Janet’s voice made him halt. “Look what the wind blew in, or should I say what the bouncer threw out?”Harrison let out a sharp sigh and turned. Janet stood under the gate lights in a dress the color of dark wine, her hair pinned up, diamonds at her throat, behind her an assistant hovered with a tablet, but she waved her away with a small flick of her finger, her smile was perfect.“Harrison,” she said, tasting the word. “

Harrison wiped blood from a cut on his cheek and checked the fallen men quickly, taking a phone from the least injured. The screen was locked so he used the man’s face to unlock it.He quickly swiped to the keypad and typed in Mia’s number, he dialed the number and stepped into the open doorway, rain cold against his face, and dialed.Mia answered on the second ring. “Hello, Mia speaking, who is this?”“It’s me Harrison,” he said.“Are you alright?” Mia asked from the other end of the line. “You’re calling me on a different number…”“Jacob Bryan’s men had me…”“What?”“They are down now, but Jacob got away.”“Are you hurt?”“No,” Harrison lied, deciding not to worry her too much. “Listen to me carefully. Jacob is still coming for you. Whatever game he was playing, it isn’t over. His obsession hasn’t cooled down yet, it’s worse now. He lost control a few minutes ago because of you, that means he’ll try again, and soon…”“I can handle myself…”“I know you can, but this isn’t the time fo

The chain bit into Harrison’s wrists, anchoring him into the metal chair in the center of the warehouse.Across from him Jacob flanked by four of his men, their faces were hard, their hands restless near their weapons.Harrison drew a soft breath as he watched them approach slowly, he had already tested every knot and every joint of the chair. Force alone would not free him, what he needed was a crack in Jacob’s control.He tilted his head slightly. “You still think about Mia every night, don’t you?”Jacob’s eyes narrowed. “Shut up.”Harrison continued meanwhile he was breaking his wrist in order to free himself from the chain behind the chair he was chained to.“Mia. The way she looked at you the last time you saw her. You still saw how her eyes lowered, how drowsy her gaze was, pity, maybe… or indifference.”Jacob’s jaw tightened, but Harrison didn’t stop.“You told yourself she would come around,” Harrison went on. “That if you just removed every obstacle she would finally see you
