Liam's POV

I barely had time to think about it when the door flew open, so fast it hit the wall with a loud bang. Sarah ran in, hugging her laptop to her chest like it was a treasure.

Her hair was wild, and her eyes were shining with that wild look she always had when something big had just happened.

Anna followed her, clearly shaken with her hands moving like she didn’t know whether to stop her or say sorry.

“Mr. Carter, I’m so sorry,” Anna said quickly. “I tried to stop her, but—”

“It’s okay, Anna,” I said, raising a hand. “You know Sarah. When she’s in the zone, no one can stop her. Not even you.”

Sarah didn’t say a word to us. She went straight to the table, opened her laptop, and connected it to the big screen like she’d done it a hundred times.

Her fingers moved fast, like magic, and in seconds, the screen lit up with a satellite photo.

“Got it,” she said with a proud smile. “Tracked the flash drive. And guess what?”

I stepped closer. I already had a feeling what she’d say.

  • CHAPTER 172

    Ryan's POVI didn't say anything. I wouldn't have been about to speak even if I tried so I just stared back at the imposing figure of my father and watched him begin to approach the bed slowly.What was he going to do now? Knowing father very well I knew he would most likely choke me and watch the light fade slowly from my eyes without breaking a sweat.I tried to get up and my stomach hurt badly. I wouldn't lay there and let him finish me off. Even in my weak state I was prepared to put up a fight as best as I could.I had only managed to get myself into a sitting position when he reached out and grabbed my shoulder. “I forgive you.” He said.I froze in shock and stared at him with my jaw unconsciously hanging open.With him next to me again, it was now I took a good look into his eyes and I could see that he wasn't angry! This was weird. Father was one of those people who never smiled and never displayed any emotions linked with happiness but he was different now. He looked remors

  • CHAPTER 171

    Liam's POVJust like that my plan was suddenly turned to nothing, vaporized as if it was nothing. My well-crafted and failproof plan. There was just no way I'd be able to clear my name now.I only felt even more humiliated when Charles led me to one of the computers to show me a small map of the city and where the feds were currently searching. They were closing in.“It's a matter of time before they close in on us,” Charles explained. “They're hell-bent on finding us, Liam. If we have a plan we need to execute fast. If not, it's a matter of time before they start using satellite imagery and once they do, trust me, we're toast.”I didn't speak immediately. I didn't even know what I wanted to say again. I was no leader… I had led them out into the middle of nowhere as if I was some Robinhood and his merry men but in reality, I was nothing near that. It was time to face reality.“We are going to turn ourselves in,” I replied.Silence settled around the room and everyone else turned thei

  • CHAPTER 170

    Ryan's POVI gasped and my legs buckled under my weight. The world swam before my eyes with Scratch's sneer zooming in and out but then the instinct to survive kicked in!I grabbed Silas' arm and dug my finger into one of the gashes left there after he had shattered the glass table with his fall. Silas hissed painfully, his features all twisted up in his agony. I used the pain I was inflicting to my own advantage. I twisted his arm with my finger digging deeper into his flash which only kept his blade into my own flesh.Silas roared in agony and he tried to pull free but I held on with a death grip while my own lifeblood drained the floor. Silas managed to retract his arm but failed to take the knife out of my body but I still held on. With all my strength, I slammed Silas’s wounded arm against the overturned metal frame of the table.I heard a snap and Silas screamed painfully and stumbled back clutching his arm. He raised his other hand reaching for the knife still lodged in my ab

  • CHAPTER 169

    Ryan's POVThe recording! That was the first thing that came to my mind when I knew that there was someone in Melissa's house. It could be one of my father's men sent here to search and retrieve it!My father always had more than one plan and I knew very well that sending me to try and retrieve the copy from Melissa wasn't his only plan. But while I was here, there was just no way that person would leave with a recording. I carefully took out my gun from the glove compartment and carefully checked the magazine before stepping out of the car.I knew that whoever was in that house would see me approaching if I wasn't careful enough so I sneaked to the side of the house using the small shadows of the street lights and the trashcans for cover.I finally got to the house with my heart beating frantically and my palms sweaty. I stopped and listened but there was no sound coming from the house. I noticed a window on the second floor slightly open, it was locked! Good! Just the luck I need

  • CHAPTER 168

    Ryan's POV“Do what's right..” I scoffed under my breath with my grip tightening around the steering wheel as I drove back to the city.I hated the way I was being ordered around like everyone's errand boy. I really hated that but I was just too deep into it now to call it quits.The darker and more sinister part of me considered the option to let the law have Liam and all who were with him but to do that, my father would walk free and if my father walked free, Melissa would definitely spill the beans on me and I'd have Father to deal with.But if I went with Melissa's idea, Liam's name would be cleared and he'd return to his life. Father would be locked up and Melissa… I didn't really know where Melissa would fit in all of this because I definitely wasn't going to have her again!Then there was the small matter of the maniac assassin whom I had poked in the eye. I knew Scratch was coming after me and it was only a matter of time before the maniac caught up to me! Everything had to b

  • CHAPTER 167

    Liam's POVIt was with an anxious spirit that we all followed Sarah back into the room and straight to the corner where she had set up her workstation.I could tell that the others were also as agitated as I was and were all eager to know what was up with Sarah's excitement. I really hoped this wasn't bad news!Sarah finally pulled back her chair and sat down. She had been busy trying to extract data from the computers Melissa had damaged. The moment we cleaned the warehouse, she went to work and would only stop for the occasional sleep and eating.“So with the way I normally fortify my systems, extracting data from the damaged computers was really difficult..” She said as she typed on her computer.“But you did. Right?” I asked impatiently.“I never said it was impossible.” She shrugged. “It only took time. But I've done it.” She opened a folder and turned the laptop towards us. “I've successfully recovered all that we've gathered on Blackwood since day one!”“That's great news!” Loc
