CHAPTER 34 — THE SECOND HUNTER
James stared at the black envelope as though it might breathe.The room was silent enough to hear the hum of the AC.He remained still for a long moment, calculating, weighing, measuring. Then he picked up the envelope. Inside was a single sheet of paper. Black ink. Clean handwriting. One sentence.“You’re not the only one who remembers.”James’s pulse tightened. He read it again. And again. Remember? Remember what? His rebirth? His murder? The truth of his past?Impossible. No one could know. He folded the note slowly, placed it on the desk, and breathed out. Another hunter meant interference. Another hunter meant unpredictability.Another hunter meant danger, for the seven killers, and for James’s perfect revenge. But worse… If someone else “remembered,”then they weren’t just hunting the seven. They might be hunting him. A knock. Soft. Careful. James turned. Nurse Amina stepped inside. “Doctor Wood, Mr. Kelvin… he wants to leave early.”James blinked once.“Is he stable?”“Yes.”Her
CHAPTER 33 — THE SMILE THAT DIDN’T REACH HIS EYES
James tightened the gloves on his hands as he stepped into Ward C.Monitors beeped like restless whispers.The morning lights were dim, almost cautious in how they illuminated the room. Nurse Amina raised her head when she saw him. “Doctor Wood… there’s something off today.”James approached her desk. “What happened?”Amina exhaled slowly. “Three of your VIP patients requested private evaluations at the same time. All insisted it had to be you.”James paused. A slow coil of anticipation wrapped around his nerves. “Which three?”Amina swallowed. “Mr. Kelvin. Mr. Francis. And Mrs. Diana.”Three of the seven. James kept his expression neutral. “Send them to separate consultation rooms.”Amina nodded, uneasy. He turned away, but a small smirk tried to form on his lips. He crushed it down. Nothing yet. Not until chapter fifty. James entered Consultation Room 1.Kelvin sat there with his usual smug grin, snapping gum between his teeth, legs crossed like he owned the place.Kelvin looked up.
CHAPTER 32 — THREADS IN THE DARK
Night rain hammered against the windshield as James drove away from the hospital, his thoughts twisting like the storm outside. The mysterious hooded man’s final words echoed in his mind: “Someone in your circle is not who they seem.”James tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Someone dangerous. Someone close. Someone hidden among the living ghosts of his past. But who?He reached home and set his keys down slowly, listening to the silence inside his apartment. Quiet. Still. Too still. He scanned the living room. Everything was in order. Nothing out of place.But the tension beneath the silence, it felt like someone had been standing there moments ago. He closed the door with a soft click. James walked to the window and parted the curtains. A dark car sat on the opposite street. Parked. Unmoving.He didn’t look at it for long. He didn’t have to. They wanted him to know they were watching. He closed the curtains again. Hours passed. James sat on the edge of his bed, reading and re
CHAPTER 31 — THE SHADOW WATCHES
Night wrapped the city like a dark cloak. James sat in his car for several seconds after parking outside his apartment. The headlights faded. Silence settled. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Someone was watching him.Someone who was not one of the seven. He inhaled deeply. Then he stepped out of the car. The hallway to his apartment felt unusually quiet. Every door shut. Every light dim. He reached his door and unlocked it.As the door swung open, he froze. A single sheet of white paper lay on the floor. He bent down and picked it up. Only one sentence was written: “You are not the only one seeking revenge.”James straightened slowly. His eyes hardened. He whispered. “Interesting.”He folded the note and slipped it into his pocket. Then he locked the door behind him. The apartment was safe. No signs of entry. No disturbed objects. Still, something in the air felt… shifted. He walked to the window.The street outside was still. Too still. He closed the curtains. The next
CHAPTER 30
The hospital lights hummed softly. James stood in the hallway outside Ward C, his coat still unbuttoned, his pulse steady but sharpened with focus.He had been waiting for this moment. “Doctor Wood,”a nurse whispered, “your 9 a.m. appointment is asking for you.”James turned his head slowly. “Which one?”“Mr. Kelvin Arinze.”The name cut through him like a thin blade. One of the seven. James closed his coat with a measured motion. He stepped forward. Kelvin sat on the examination bed with his elbows on his knees.His breathing was fast.“Doctor,”he said, “something is wrong with me.”James approached him with careful steps, his expression calm. “What symptoms are you experiencing?”Kelvin rubbed his chest. “I feel weak. No appetite. My stomach… it burns every morning.”James wrote on the chart, though he already knew the cause. “Do you drink?”James asked. Kelvin hesitated. “Yes. Too much.”James looked up. “How long have these symptoms persisted?”“A month now.”James moved closer.
CHAPTER 29 — THE MAN WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE RETURNED
The morning sun rose behind a layer of gray clouds, casting the hospital in a dim, uneasy light. Nurses hurried through the corridors, monitors beeped intermittently, and the smell of antiseptic felt sharper than usual, almost metallic.Inside his office, Dr. James Wood sat perfectly still, staring at the file in front of him. The file of the man who had called at 2:00 a.m. The man whose voice trembled. The man who said the words that made James freeze in place:“Doctor… I think someone is following me.”And now that same man, One of the Seven, Was coming to the hospital today. James closed the file slowly, exhaled, and rose from his chair. A new phase of his plan was beginninA soft knock on the door.“Doctor? You said I should come.”James lifted his eyes. Standing at the doorway, drenched in sweat despite the cool air, was Daniel—the quietest of the seven conspirators. The one who rarely spoke. The one who always stood at the back of the group.Out of all of them, Daniel was the e
