CHAPTER 305: THE FATHER WHO SHOULD’VE DIED
The shock hit Gregory harder than the cold. The face before him, gaunt, lined, but unmistakable, was the one he had buried in his memories, the face that haunted his nightmares and drove his every move.“Father…” Gregory’s voice came out low, unbelieving. “You died. I saw the reports. The fire, the wreckage”Richard Caldwell’s eyes gleamed under the sterile glow of the Mirror facility’s lights. “You saw what I wanted the world to see.”Gregory’s pulse thundered in his ears. “You faked your death?”Richard stepped closer, slow and deliberate. “There are two ways to win a war, son, by surviving it or by letting them think you didn’t. I chose both.”Gregory’s hands clenched into fists. “You let them hunt me. You let them destroy everything. Elara, the Syndicate”His father’s tone was cold, clinical. “I needed them to. Voss was never the threat, Gregory. She was a tool, a visible enemy to distract you while the real one kept building power.”Gregory’s eyes narrowed. “You used me.”Richard
CHAPTER 304: THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY
Snow fell like ash over the Rockies. The helicopter cut through the storm in silence, its red beacons blinking against the endless dark. Inside, the air stank of gun oil and blood.Gregory sat slumped in his seat, one hand clamped over his shoulder wound, the other clutching the encrypted drive. His vision blurred, but his mind refused to rest.Helix had gone public. The world was in chaos, headlines screaming, markets crashing, governments scrambling to deny the revelations. Yet the fire in his chest wasn’t victory. It was warning.Blake looked up from his comms. “Every outlet’s running the Helix data dump. Half the Voss Syndicate’s under arrest, the rest are disappearing underground.”Gregory’s voice was hoarse. “That’s what they want us to see.”Amelia frowned. “What do you mean?”He stared at the drive. “Helix wasn’t the top layer, it was a door. My father designed everything in mirrors, dual systems. He knew if one side was corrupted, the other would still survive.”Blake narrowe
CHAPTER 303: THE SIEGE OF HELIX
The tunnels shook like thunder. Dust rained from the ceiling as gunfire cracked through the dark corridors of the Armitage Facility.The Helix servers glowed behind Gregory like a heartbeat made of light, flaring brighter each second as the global data upload ticked upward: UPLOAD STATUS: 47% … 52% …Blake crouched behind a shattered console, returning fire. “They’ve got suppressors and body armor. I count at least twelve!”“Seventeen,” Gregory corrected, swapping magazines. “Voss never does anything halfway.”Across the room, Amelia ducked behind a support pillar, clutching a small data drive to her chest, the manual backup.Her face was pale, streaked with dust, but her eyes burned. “How long until Helix finishes transmitting?”Gregory checked the monitor. “Three minutes. We just have to hold this room.”A calm voice cut through the chaos. “You won’t.”Elara Voss stepped through the doorway like she owned the air itself. Her black tactical coat barely rippled despite the gunfire. Tw
CHAPTER 302: PROTOCOL HELIX AWAKENS
The night after the Voss takeover was sleepless. Rain lashed against the windows of the penthouse safehouse as Gregory sat in front of three glowing monitors, each screen loaded with fragments of encrypted code.Blake paced like a caged animal behind him, while Amelia, still shaken from the boardroom chaos, watched the city burn in reflection.“Nothing about this adds up,” Blake muttered. “Voss couldn’t have hijacked half the board without inside help. Somebody close to us opened that door.”Gregory didn’t look up. His eyes were locked on the code repeating endlessly across the screens, lines his father had buried in the system decades ago. “He did,” Gregory said quietly. “My father. He left it there for me.”Amelia turned. “You mean… the words that flashed on the monitors?”Gregory nodded. “Protocol Helix. I found references to it in his private notes before the fire. He wrote that it was his ‘fail-safe.’ Something he could never trust the board with.”Blake frowned. “Fail-safe for w
CHAPTER 301: THE RETURN OF THE UNWANTED KING
The boardroom at Caldwell Global had never been quieter. Every chair was filled. Every face, hard, expectant, predatory. They had come to witness the end of Gregory Caldwell’s reign… not knowing he had only just begun.He stood at the head of the long obsidian table, calm, unreadable, the heir no one had wanted now surrounded by the vultures who’d tried to bury him.Behind him, Amelia watched in silence, her gaze steady, no longer the frightened daughter of the house, but his silent ally.The board chairman, a silver-haired man named Alden Pike, finally spoke. “Mr. Caldwell,” he said, voice dripping skepticism.“Before we proceed, you’ll need to explain the… unorthodox manner in which you assumed control of this company. The signatures on your father’s final documents remain under review.”Gregory leaned forward. “You’ve had three months to review them, Alden. What you’re really doing is stalling, hoping I disappear like the last heir you tried to erase.”A murmur ran down the table.
Chapter 300: The End of the Beginning
The ruins of the estate stood silent under the pale morning sky, ash still drifting like whispers of a nightmare now past. The storm had subsided, but the scars remained, in the land, in the air, and in the hearts of those who survived it.Gregory stood at the edge of the crater that once housed the underground hall. His jacket was torn, his face streaked with dried blood, soot, and sweat.Yet in his eyes burned a fire that no enemy, no betrayal, no legacy could extinguish. The ghosts of his past no longer haunted him, they now marched behind him, fueling his purpose.Around him, the aftermath of the war revealed itself in stark silence. Logan stood by his side, injured but alive.Naomi had survived too, though barely, clinging to life after saving Gregory in the final shootout. Tristan had disappeared into the smoke, his fate unknown.But Gregory knew this wasn’t over. Not yet. He turned as footsteps approached. Mr. Sutherland, once an ally, then a traitor, now something far more com
