Chapter 254
Susan let out a much cruel laughter as though she was enjoying the show of it all, and seeing Brenda looking so confused was kind of giving her the kind of satisfaction that she hoped to get.And the sight of it was tearing Brenda apart even more because she just couldn't understand how her sister whom she thought had died over twenty years ago, would suddenly show up as though she never died.The accident reports had been accurate, and it was proven that both Steven and Susan had died from the crash.The DNA reports matched, and even their wedding rings were still on their fingers which was just enough confirmation that it was really the two of them who had died in that crash. Unless maybe, someone had falsified the results and had made them believe that the bodies belonged to Steven and Susan.“You and Steven were both in the car when it exploded.” Brenda said, her voice shaky. "You both… burned.”Susan shook her head. “That... like I said, is what I wanted everyone to believe."Bre
Chapter 253
BANG! The gunshot tore through the night like lightning splitting the sky in half. Courtney’s scream echoed through the empty parking lot as she threw her hands over her ears and squeezed her eyes shut.To her, that was the end of Gary, and she just couldn't imagine opening her eyes to see the man that she loves in the pool of his own blood.But then, a soft metallic sound hit the ground near Gary’s foot. And as Gary’s eyes flew open, he saw that the bullet had stopped in the air and was frozen just inches from his chest held by an unseen force before it dropped harmlessly to the pavement.Courtney, who was expecting to hear Gary scream, but wasn't forthcoming, managed to open her eyes and the same shocking sight greeted her as she stared at it, her mouth trembling open, unable to breathe.Brenda stepped back, confusion twisting her face.“What… what—?” Her voice cracked.Just then, a chill swept across the parking lot… followed by a warm, familiar, impossible glow. And then, a silhou
Chapter 252
Courtney felt Gary’s grip tighten around her hand—so tight it hurt—but she didn’t pull away. She had played an integral role in making Gary see reasons why he had to switch sides, and she wasn't going to leave him alone.Courtney’s voice trembled as she tried, one last time, to reason with the woman in front of them. She had always peceived that Brenda was not the kind of woman whom she could say was mentally stable owing to the few times their paths had crossed.A couple of times she had almost been tempted to ask Gary if his aunt had ever been to a mental institution before, but so as not to offend Gary, she had refrained from asking such a question. But now, seeing her point a gun at Gary, and wasn't looking like someone who had come to play, was just enough to convince Courtney that Brenda had been mentally unstable at one point in her life before.“B–Brenda… please,” she said, her breath shaking. “Gary didn't do anything wrong. He just—”But the moment she opened her mouth, Brend
Chapter 251
Gary’s heart dropped while Courtney’s fingers slipped from his neck as both of them turned fully toward the voice which was eerily familiar, and at the same carrying a hint of danger with it.And there, standing under the yellow glow of the streetlamp was Brenda.Her arms were crossed lightly, a mocking smile painted across her lips, but her eyes—those were cold enough to freeze the night itself.She had stationed some of her men to watch Gary's every move and they had reported to her that they had seen Gary meeting with Chance. She didn't doubt it because she had seen signs of Gary already turning his back on the shared goal that they had been working on.She had really thought that Gary would be the perfect candidate to help awaken Obsidian as he was the one carrying Susan's blood. But as it happened in the case of Susan, who later paid with her own life, she could already see Gary dancing to the same rhythm.“Aunt… what are you doing here?” Gary asked, voice tight.Of all the peopl
Chapter 250
Chance exhaled shakily, the memory of Gary’s voice echoing in his mind like a warning he wished he could ignore.He has two already… And he knew what that meant because the moment all three were brought together… the dark side of the bloodline would awaken. Power that should never be unleashed.And now one of the men who wanted that power the most already had a head start.He ran a hand through his hair and finally reached for the ignition. The low rumble of the engine filled the silence, grounding him.But just before he shifted into gear, he paused as his reflection stared back at him in the rearview mirror—a face that looked too young to carry a burden this old, too scarred to belong to a normal teenage life.A faint whisper escaped him, almost like a vow rising from somewhere deeper than thought.“I’ll do everything to protect the O’ Connor legacy.”***(Moments earlier at the cafe)Courtney watched the doors close behind Chance and Chloe, her gaze returning slowly to Gary, who sa

“No… no, no, no,” Flynn muttered, dragging his fingers across the controls to stabilize the image. “Where did you come from? You weren’t in the raw footage…”He enhanced again—thermal ghosting, frame interpolation, motion prediction.The outline sharpened just enough to reveal one more horrifying detail.She moved first. Before the shot. Before Julia even lifted her hand.Flynn exhaled shakily, his mind racing with so many questions and possibilities all at once.He was a lover of phyiscs and technology no doubt. But this? This was mindblowing in a way that he had never imagined it would be. This was the first time he was trying out something like this ever since he picked up interest in crime technology, and it was already making him feel like he was on top of the world.“This is it,” he whispered. “This changes everything.”But he needed one more thing—something concrete. A face. Even a hint of one. Something to match or isolate.He rewound. Slowed the playback to one-tenth speed. L
