Chapter 228
The morning had barely stretched its light across the capital when the storm broke loose.The headquarters of the CSSA, the nation’s most secure intelligence body was thrown into chaos as black SUVs pulled up one after another before the building. Within minutes, a small battalion of Internal Affairs agents marched through the front doors, their badges glinting coldly under the lobby lights.Inside, the air turned electric as conversations stopped and agents froze mid-step, files clutched tighter than they realized.No one had expected the internal affairs to make such a dramatic entrance especially not after Gerald Seth himself called them to inform them of the issue with the footage of the President shooting Bruce Lincoln“Federal Internal Affairs,” the lead officer barked. “We’re here under direct authorization to secure all evidence connected to the Bruce Lincoln case.”Gerald’s expression darkened. “On whose order?”He could remember that the last time he spoke with the head of

Chance arrived at the quiet café Chloe had chosen, tucked between two shuttered bookstores like a secret wedged between forgotten pages. The evening light settled in long amber stripes across the pavement, and Chloe sat outside, elbows on the table, her posture taut enough to snap.As he approached, she lifted her eyes briefly, then looked back down as if anchoring herself. He pulled out the empty chair beside her and sat.“Alright,” he said, going straight to the point. “What did you need to talk about?”Chloe didn’t waste a second as she unlocked her phone, tapped her gallery, and pushed the screen toward him. A wide shot of a tourist site filled the frame: colorful umbrellas along a bridge, a crowd, water glittering behind them.Chance squinted. “Chloe… I don’t understand. What am I supposed to be looking at?”She didn’t answer. Instead, she zoomed in.And the world seemed to tilt the moment Chance’s eyes caught hold of what Chloe wanted him to see,Because right there stood Prime

Julia remained seated long after the CSO left, the door shutting with a muted thud that echoed louder in her chest than in the room itself.Silence expanded around her.Not the peaceful kind but the heavy, and accusing kind that knows the truth before you admit it.She stared ahead at nothing, fingers curled tightly around the edge of her armrest. The CSO’s words kept circling in her mind like a vulture waiting for the weakest moment to swoop.“He wasn’t who you thought he was. His sister is still missing. He was threatened. He might have been forced to do it.”Each sentence stabbed deeper than she had expected it would be, and at that point, if felt as though the weight of the entire world was already beginning to press on her shoulders.Her breath trembled as she pressed her palm over her mouth, but it didn’t steady the growing storm in her chest.And that was because no matter how hard she tried to let herself feel at peace with what she had done, she just couldn’t shake off the tr

Silence pooled between Chance and Cliffor Hills, as though some invisible external force had induced it. Clifford watched Chance carefully, reading the truth in the stillness, in the way Chance had refused to speak, almost revealing the faint flicker of guilt buried behind his eyes.That was answer enough for him as far as he was concerned and he was concerned having being in the legal system for quite some time.Clifford exhaled slowly, almost like he’d just been handed a live grenade. “Then we have a problem bigger than the Acherlands,” he murmured.And just before Chance could respond, his phone lit up and buzzed sharply against the desk.And it was Chloe calling making him remember that since the last time that they both saw each other, they had neither no spoken to or heard from each other again.He hesitated for half a second before answering. “Chloe?”Her voice on the other end was strained, like she’d been pacing for a while. “Chance… can we meet? Please. It’s important.”Chan

The line went dead before Chance could get another word out. For a moment, he simply sat there, phone still pressed to his ear, staring at the empty space ahead of him like the silence itself had frozen him in place. The buzz of the disconnected line hummed faintly—a dull reminder that something had just shifted, something deep and dangerous.He didn't want to think about it but too much, but the moment he saw that the call was from Gerald, two things crossed his mind. One was that, the call could have been because of Harry, and the other was that the call could have been because of his mother.And if course, he had seen the news flying all over the place, and even if he hadn't really supported what his mother had done in driving the bullet through Bruce Lincoln's brain, and would have wanted her to face the law for the consequences of her actions, something shifted in him after last night.He had seen his mother's brokenness and just like everyone else, he too had supported that the

For a brief moment, Gerald's fingers twitched at his side, his mind wrestling between protocol and panic. Every instinct screamed at him to stall, to regain footing but every fiber of law in him knew that Ava was right. If the footage was real, the chain of custody had to be airtight.Ava was smart, and he could tell that she was because only a smart lawyer would make the request that she had just made, and it was a reason to be dreadful of her.And so, with visible reluctance, he reached for the receiver on the desk beside the wall. His voice came out in fragments, strained, and cracking at the edges.“Control… this is Inspector Gerald Seth. Patch me through to Internal Affairs.” He requested in a single long breath.The line hissed for a second before a voice answered, crisp and wary. “Internal Affairs, Director’s Office. Go ahead.”Gerald took a deep breath, but his words trembled. “I’m ordering an immediate audit on a high-level interrogation. Evidence presented by defense coun
