Jack's expression was a mixture of shock and reluctant admiration. He nodded once more, confirming everything.

"How—" Jack started to ask, his voice barely above a whisper. "How did you figure all that out? We were so careful. So precise with our planning. There's no way you could have known unless—"

He stopped, realization dawning on his face. "You GUESSED. You didn't actually know. You just made educated guesses based on limited information and watched my reactions to confirm them!"

His face contorted with rage and humiliation. "I just TOLD you everything! Confirmed your guesses! You TRICKED me into confessing!"

Around the room, the conscious men were staring at Jack with expressions ranging from shock to betrayal.

"You killed Richardson?" one man said. "But you told us he was killed by rival organizations! That we were avenging his death!"

"And you're holding his FAMILY?!" another man added, his voice horrified. "His wife and kids? That's—that's too far, Jack! That crosses lines we

    Raymond's smile widened. "Interesting. Very interesting. You know, Miss Jackson, I think I understand now why my son has been so fascinated with you. You have something most people lack—genuine courage. Not the fake bravado of people pretending to be brave, but real, deep-seated strength of character."He turned toward his car. "I look forward to learning more about you. And about the people who inspire such loyalty in someone with your evident strength. People like your bodyguard. People like Darius Kane."With that, Raymond entered his sedan, and his driver pulled away smoothly, the convoy of security vehicles following.Alessia released a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding, her legs suddenly feeling weak."Alessia—" Josh started."I need to go," Alessia interrupted, moving toward her own car. "I need to get home. Talk to Darius. Prepare for tonight.""Wait," Josh called after her. "About tonight. About the dinner. Maybe you should—"But Alessia was already in her car, pu

    Alessia stood frozen in the university parking lot, her mind replaying Raymond Romano's questions with growing unease. Something about the interrogation had been off—not just the intimidating presence or the veiled threats, but the specific nature of his questions.Why was he asking about my bodyguard? Alessia thought, frowning. He kept bringing it up. Kept pressing for details. But my bodyguard is Aria, not Darius. So why did it feel like he was really asking about someone else entirely?She remembered Raymond's exact words: "This Darius Kane. This bodyguard. This friend."He conflated them, Alessia realized. Made it seem like he thought Darius was my bodyguard. But I never said that. Never gave him that impression. So where did he get that idea?Josh stood beside her, his face pale, clearly as disturbed by his father's appearance as she was. He was staring at the spot where Raymond had been standing, his expression troubled."Josh," Alessia said carefully. "That was strange. The way

    "Also impossible to locate," Aria replied. "If Jack is holding them hostage, he's keeping them somewhere off our grid. Somewhere we don't have surveillance or intelligence access. Could be a private residence. Could be a warehouse. Could be anywhere in the city."Darius frowned, his mind working through possibilities. "We need better intelligence. Better networks. The resources we have access to here in Duskfort aren't sufficient for finding someone who's prepared to disappear.""What are you thinking?" Aria asked."I'm thinking it's time to activate some of my old military contacts," Darius replied. "People with access to satellite surveillance, financial tracking, communications intercepts—resources that go beyond standard civilian investigation capabilities."He pulled out his secure phone—the one he used for sensitive military communications. "I have friends in intelligence agencies. People who owe me favors from past operations. If Jack Reeves is in Duskfort, they can help me fin

    Nigel Portman leaned back against his hospital pillows, satisfaction spreading across his face despite the constant pain radiating from his shattered legs. The meeting with Raymond Romano—conducted through Victor—had gone better than expected. The seeds were planted. The alliance was forming."Victor," Nigel said. "You've done excellent work. Keep monitoring the situation. I want hourly updates on any developments regarding Kane or the Romano alliance.""Of course," Victor replied, gathering his documents. "Is there anything else you need before I go?""No," Nigel said, waving him away dismissively. "I need to focus on my recovery now. The stronger I get, the more directly I can participate in Kane's destruction."Victor nodded and left the private room, leaving Nigel alone.Nigel pressed the call button beside his bed. Within moments, a nurse entered—a stern-looking woman in her forties who'd been managing his rehabilitation schedule."Mr. Portman?" the nurse said professionally. "Yo

    Across the city, Victor Chen arrived at the private hospital where Nigel Portman was receiving treatment. He'd driven directly from the Romano estate, his mind still processing the late-night meeting and its implications.Victor navigated the hospital corridors with practiced ease—he'd been visiting Nigel regularly since the injury, coordinating family business while Nigel recovered from the extensive surgeries on his shattered legs.He entered Nigel's private room to find the young heir sitting up in bed, his legs elevated and heavily bandaged, his face still showing the strain of constant pain despite the medications."Victor," Nigel said immediately, his voice sharp despite the exhaustion. "You're back. How did it go? Did Romano agree?""Not yet," Victor replied, closing the door behind him to ensure privacy. "But he's considering it. Very seriously, I think.""Considering?" Nigel's expression darkened. "What does that mean? Did you present everything like we discussed? Did you exp

    "Josh? Josh!"Alessia's voice seemed to come from far away, barely penetrating the whirlwind of thoughts racing through Josh's mind. He stood frozen in the university hallway, students flowing around them, completely lost in the terrifying implications of what he'd just realized.Father knows. Father knows Darius destroyed Skyline Elite. And tonight—tonight Darius is walking right into Father's territory, into our home, completely unaware of the danger."JOSH!"Alessia grabbed his shoulder, shaking him firmly. The physical contact finally broke through his trance, and Josh blinked, focusing on her concerned face."What?" Josh said, his voice distant."I've been calling your name for like thirty seconds," Alessia said, her worry evident. "You just... zoned out completely. Started staring at nothing with this terrified expression. What's going on?"Josh shook his head quickly, trying to clear the panic from his features. "Nothing. It's nothing. Sorry. I just—I was thinking about somethi
