Chapter Fifty-Four: The Enemy’s Embrace
Location: Midtown – Empty Streets, 3:00 a.m.Elias ran until his lungs burned, until his legs trembled beneath him. The night air bit at his skin, but nothing could cool the fire inside. Betrayal. Lies. His father wasn’t the man he thought he was. The Accord. Cairo, My mother.He stumbled into an alley, bracing himself against a brick wall. The photographs blurred in his mind. He felt sick Lost.Alone That was when headlights swept across him, halting at the mouth of the alley. A sleek black car purred to a stop The door opened. Damian Knight stepped out.The Seduction of the Enemy“Rough night?” Damian’s voice was smooth, unhurried, almost mocking. He leaned casually against the car, immaculate in his tailored suit, as though he belonged to the shadows.Elias’s fists tightened. “What do you want?”“Not much.” Damian smiled. “Only to give you what your father never did the truth.”Elias’s breath caught. “You… you know him?”“Oh, better than you think,” Damian said, stepping closer. “Lu
Chapter Fifty-Two : The Cairo Question
The son's Accusation“You told me you were just a businessman,” Elias said, voice cracking with betrayal. “You told me you worked hard to build everything from nothing. But these” he jabbed a finger at the photos “ don’t look like boardrooms or office deals. They look like war, Blood. Lies.”Lucas’s chest tightened. He wanted to reach out, to hold his son’s shaking hands, but Elias pulled back, clutching the stack of images like a shield.“Who are you really?” Elias demanded. “What’s The Accord? What happened in Cairo?”Lucas’s SilenceFor the first time in years, Lucas Sebastian felt powerless Not against enemies, not against rivals, but against the one person who had every right to hate him ,his son.Helena spoke softly, trying to diffuse the storm. “Elias, not everything you see is truth Enemies will twist”“Enemies?” Elias snapped, turning on her “Then why is he shaking hands with Damian Knight?” The name was a blade through the air Even Helena faltered. Lucas closed his eyes It w
Chapter Fifty-One: The Letter of Lies
Location: Safehouse, MidnightThe safehouse had fallen quiet, but the silence was deceptive. Lucas lay on the sofa, bandages across his ribs, eyes shut yet mind racing.Helena remained near the window, phone in hand, watching the city lights like a hawk watching for predators But Elias wasn’t sleeping.The TemptationHe sat on the edge of his bed in the adjoining room, staring at the envelope Damian had given him. The paper seemed heavier than steel, carrying a weight his young shoulders weren’t ready for. He could still hear Damian’s words echoing in his head: “Your father isn’t who he says he is. Inside here is the truth.”His father had begged him not to open it. Helena had warned it was poison But wasn’t that exactly what liars said when they were cornered. Tears burned Elias’s eyes as his hands trembled. Slowly, he tore the flap open.The ContentsInside wasn’t a letter at least not in the way he expected. There were photographs One after another, black and white surveillance ima
Chapter Fifty: Shattered Trust
Location: Safehouse, Upper ManhattanThe hum of the city outside was muffled by reinforced glass. Inside the safehouse, silence pressed down like a weight. Blood stained Lucas’s shirt, the air still reeked of gunpowder.And Elias sat in the corner eyes wide, hands trembling For the first time, the boy couldn’t meet his father’s gaze.The Silence Between ThemHelena paced the room, her phone buzzing with updates from her private network of guards. “The mercenaries have pulled back. Damian won’t risk another public assault not yet.”Lucas sat heavily in a chair, grimacing as he pressed gauze to his side. But it wasn’t the pain that gnawed at him. It was Elias’s stare silent, sharp, filled with questions he wasn’t ready to answer.Finally, Elias broke it “Dad what was that?” His voice cracked. “The way you fought the way you killed them That’s not”. He stopped, his lip trembling “That’s not who you said you were.”Lucas closed his eyes He had prepared for enemies, betrayal, even death. B
Chapter Forty -Nine: Fire in the Ruins
Location: Midtown Gallery – SurroundedThe night was a cage of broken glass and flashing lights. Smoke curled from shattered beams, and Damian’s laughter seemed to echo in the silence he left behind. But the real threat was here now mercenaries armed to the teeth, faces hidden, rifles raised.Lucas Sebastian stood before them like a wall, battered but unbreakable. His blood dripped onto the marble, but his eyes blazed with the fire of a man who had been underestimated for too long.The Assault Begins“Target acquired. Neutralize,” one of the mercenaries barked through a voice modulator. The first hail of bullets ripped through the gallery. Glass exploded, walls splintered, and statues shattered under the barrage.Lucas moved like a phantom, grabbing Helena and Elias, pushing them behind the remnants of a pillar. “Stay down! Don’t move until I say so!” Then he was gone darting forward into the storm.Lucas UnleashedHe slammed into the first mercenary, ripping the rifle from his grip b
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Devil’s Bargain
Location: Midtown Gallery – Ruins of the ShowdownThe echo of sirens grew louder, slicing through the broken night like a warning bell. But neither Lucas nor Damian moved away. They circled each other in the dust-filled gallery, two predators bound by years of history and a boy caught in between.The Battle ContinuesLucas’s chest rose and fell in ragged bursts, every breath carrying fire. “I warned you, Damian. Stay away from him.”Damian wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, smirking. “And I told you, Lucas he deserves to know the truth. He deserves more than a father who built an empire out of shadows.”With a sudden lunge, Damian launched forward. Their fists met like thunderclaps, the floor trembling beneath each blow. Columns cracked, debris rained, and the artwork on the walls fell in shreds.Helena screamed for them to stop, but her voice was drowned in the storm of violence.Elias’s Breaking PointElias clutched his throat where Damian’s blade had grazed him, the sting st
