Chapter 55
Abel’s face turned ugly for a split second, but he quickly forced his proud smile back on. "You think you can threaten me, little girl? Your father doesn't even want you anymore. And as for your boyfriend here, his little tricks won't work on me. My company's main financial core is protected by the highest level of encrypted servers. You cannot touch a single dollar of my wealth.""Are you sure about that, Abel?" Damien asked quietly.Damien reached into his trousers pocket and slowly pulled out his plain black phone. He did not look at Abel's face. He simply tapped a single green icon on the screen, his true scientific Golden Finger, connected directly to the central mainframe of the Sovereign Research Institute."Marcus," Damien muttered into his small collar microphone. "Execute the order.""Initiating total liquidation now, Boss," Marcus’s voice returned through Damien's hidden earpiece.Within three seconds, the bright crystal lights in the ceiling flickered violently and dimmed.
Chapter 54
The 'Untouchable' Abel RodriguezThe morning sun came up slowly, clearing away the dark rain clouds. Inside the safe house kitchen, Amelia stood by the stove, slowly stirring a bowl of warm oatmeal for Eli.The door opened, and Damien walked in, his eyes were washed, and his eyes were calm. The broken look from the balcony was gone. He was the steady Sovereign once again.Damien knelt next to Eli’s chair. He placed a large, gentle hand on the boy's shoulder. "Eli, I am sorry about yesterday. I was sad because I miss my own son. It was not your fault. You are safe here, and we will protect you."Eli blinked, then gave a happy nod, the fear leaving his small face.Suddenly, Marcus ran out of the tech room with a tablet. "Damien, the tracking signal did not fail. The enemy used a decoy truck. But I just traced a massive money transfer sent to Donald Su last night. It came from Abel Rodriguez."Amelia frowned. "Abel Rodriguez? He is a very arrogant shipping tycoon. He thinks his billions

Burdened Reality The tiny voice barely made it across the room.Damien froze at the name. The walls, the bed, the lamp…everything just blurred out.The only thing left was the little boy sitting there under the covers. Blue eyes, brown hair, looking completely terrified.And he wasn't Aaron. Eli shifted nervously, his eyes blinking rapidly, his small fingers bunching up the blanket. "Did... did I do something wrong?"Damien couldn't breathe, let alone answer.Every single moment from the last two days hit him like a physical blow. The tight hug in the hallway, the quiet car ride home. All those promises he'd made. The hours spent standing over this bed in the dark, just watching the boy's chest rise and fall to make sure he was still breathing.The hope. God, hope.Damien stood up. His movements were stiff, like a machine running low on power.Eli shrank back a little.Damien saw it, but the words just wouldn't come. It felt like someone had reached into his chest and physically r

Denial. She saw the lines of exhaustion etched deep around his eyes. She saw the absolute ruin in his posture. But she knew the truth was a trap door, and they were already standing on it.She whispered the one thing she knew would break him.“If you insist he’s Aaron… even when you know he’s not…”Damien froze at the door. His entire body went rigid, his hand stopping an inch away from the brass doorknob. He didn’t turn around. He didn’t move a single muscle.Amelia’s eyes filled with tears, blurring the sharp outline of his back. “Then what happens to the real Aaron?”The words seemed to hang in the air like smoke.Damien did not yell. He did not slam his fist into the drywall. He reached out, turned the knob, and walked out.The door stayed open a few inches. The soft click of his boots on the hardwood hallway grew fainter and fainter until it vanished entirely.Amelia stood frozen in the center of the utility room. The small blue-threaded letters on the collar seemed to burn a

Cruel Truth. “Then what are you doing?”“Damien …” Amelia took a small step forward. “What’s going on?” he asked quietly.Amelia opened her mouth but nothing came out.Damien stepped inside slowly, shutting the The door behind him opened with a soft click.“What were you talking about?” he asked.Amelia’s grip tightened around the shirt hidden behind her back.“Nothing.”Damien stared at her. “You were pacing.”Amelia said nothing.“You said you needed to tell Daniel something.”Amelia remained silent, and Damien’s jaw tightened slightly.“And then you hid whatever’s behind your back the second you saw me.”“What is it?”Amelia looked away briefly.“Amelia.”She swallowed hard, shaking her head.“I… I don’t know if I should say this.”“Say what?”Amelia looked up at him finally.And the second he saw the fear in her eyes, something cold flickered across his expression.Slowly…Carefully…Amelia brought the shirt out from behind her back.Damien frowned slightly at the tiny faded fab

Doubt Two. She didn't fail to notice it, the tiny, freezing hesitation, the boy's eyes shifted to the side for a fraction of a second, as if he were internally checking a script before he finally gave a small nod."...Yeah."Damien noticed it. Amelia saw the slight widening around his eyes, but he chose to just nod back calmly, intentionally burying the doubt deep down where it couldn't hurt him. He wanted this to be true so badly that he was willing to ignore his own sharp instincts.Breakfast proceeded in bursts of easy laughter.Marcus tried to teach the boy a card game using a deck from the drawer, and the child immediately began cheating in the most obvious way possible, hiding cards under his leg. Daniel actually smiled, shaking his head as Marcus loudly complained about being swindled by a child. Throughout it all, Damien just watched. He didn't eat much; his eyes were glued to the boy like he was holding a piece of glass that the world might shatter at any moment.Then, Ma
