The pain was still there, deep, throbbing, a constant reminder of how close death had come but it was no longer enough to keep him still.Every hour he spent resting felt like another hour the people who tried to kill Sarah remained free, another hour they had to cover their tracks, to disappear into the shadows where men like them thrived.Behind him, the room was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that made the mind wander to dark places.He turned as the door opened softly.Sarah stepped in, already dressed for the day in a tailored navy suit that spoke of meetings and responsibilities. Her expression was composed but tired, the weight of recent events etched in the fine lines around her eyes.She stopped when she saw him standing by the window instead of lying in bed where she'd left him hours ago."You shoul

One of the maids froze for half a second, startled by the authority in her tone, before nodding hurriedly and running down the corridor.Spider was slumped on the couch, his teeth clenched hard enough to make his jaw tremble. Scorpion knelt beside him, one arm braced around his shoulders to keep him upright.Blood had soaked through Spider’s shirt, dark and frightening, dripping steadily onto the polished floor.Sarah stood a few steps away, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She had seen danger before. She had dealt with threats, betrayal, and war in boardrooms. But this—this was different. This was raw and physical and terrifyingly close.“Let me see,” Scorpion said quietly, already tugging at Spider’s shirt.Spider hissed sharply as the fabric was pulled away.Sarah’s breath caught in her throat.The blood was still pumping, seeping around the entry wound where

His suit was immaculate, his tie perfectly knotted, his face carefully arranged into the expression of a man bracing himself for another brutal day at work. He did not turn immediately. He already sensed that whatever Tiana wanted to say would not be small.“I’m late,” he said eventually, his voice restrained. “If this is about breakfast or—”“Sit down,” Tiana said, cutting him off. “We need to talk.

A watchtower. A weapon.He lifted the binoculars again, adjusting the focus with practiced precision until Sarah's office floor came into clear view through the building's massive windows.

Just a carefully curated guest list, soft lighting, muted music, and the quiet confidence of people who understood power didn’t need noise to announce itself.The event was held on the terrace of an exclusive members-only club overlooking the city, the skyline glowing faintly as evening settled in.Sarah arrived precisely on time.She wore a simple, elegant dress that spoke of restraint rather than excess. Ella walked a step behind her, tablet tucked under her arm, eyes already scanning the room.

Yet deep down, she knew there were still loose strings to tie.A soft knock at her door pulled her out of her musings. It was Emilia peeking inside. "Ma'am, you have a visitor.""Who is it?" Nicole asked, assuming some other business partner or yet another journalist looking for an interview.Emilia hesitated. "It's Taylor Fury."Nicole's breath hitched. Taylor? Here?
