Chapter: Chapter Eleven Silence fell over the training ground.The men stepped back, forming a rough circle around Casey and Lucas. Some exchanged amused glances, clearly expecting the ‘newcomer’ to be put in their place.Lucas didn’t move. He merely stood there, his hands in his pockets, exuding an aura of effortless authority.Casey met his gaze, her body completely still, her mind sharp.She had fought countless men before—street thugs, underground fighters, survivalists who clawed for their next meal.But Lucas was different.He wasn’t just another fighter. He was a predator—one who was used to people following his orders without question.“Time’s ticking,” Lucas said smoothly, his voice calm, almost bored.Casey smirked. “You sure you want to do this in front of your men?”A few of the men let out low whistles.Austin chuckled. “This one’s got guts.”Lucas’s expression remained unreadable, but the slight narrowing of his eyes told her he wasn’t amused.Then, without warning, Casey moved.A blur of speed

Chapter: Chapter TenCasey’s expression remained cold and unreadable as she took a step back, her gaze flickering toward the black SUVs. The air was thick with tension, every man in the area standing at attention, waiting for their boss to step out.Her instincts screamed at her—this was dangerous. Too dangerous.She had been reckless to follow Andrew here without knowing what she was getting into. Now, standing at the edge of a crowd that treated her like some rare creature, she realized she was playing with fire.With a casual yet firm tone, she spoke.“Your base is not suitable for me. I am not interested anymore. I’ll be off in a minute.”A murmur rippled through the men. No one simply rejected M Base.Austin scoffed, “Where do you think you’re going? You saved Andrew’s life, and that’s not something we forget. Since you have such great martial skills, why don’t you just stay? M Base could use someone like you.”Casey narrowed her eyes. “I don’t need a place to stay.”Andrew quickly stepped closer, lo

Chapter: Chapter Nine Casey had followed Andrew in silence for what felt like hours. Her instincts screamed caution, but curiosity edged out her wariness. She had nothing to lose—and if this so-called "base" turned out to be a trap, she’d deal with it.When they finally reached a massive industrial building on the outskirts of the city, Casey slowed her steps. The structure was imposing—tall concrete walls, security cameras perched at every corner, and a reinforced gate that spoke volumes about whatever was going on inside.“This the place?” Casey asked, eyeing the building with suspicion.Andrew nodded, shifting nervously. “Yeah. Don’t let the outside fool you—it’s safer in there than out here.”Safer for who? Casey thought. Her gaze scanned the perimeter, noting the guards patrolling with practiced ease. Their movements were sharp—military precision. This wasn’t some street-level gang hideout. It was something else.Instead of going through the front entrance, Andrew led her toward a side door tucked awa

Chapter: Chapter EightThe underground arena reeked of sweat, blood, and desperation. The dim lighting cast eerie shadows across the faces of the spectators, their voices a mix of jeers and excited murmurs. The floor of the ring was stained—a testament to the countless fights that had taken place here. Casey stood in the center, her frame seemingly smaller compared to the towering opponent before her. He was a beast of a man—muscles thick, veins bulging, a cruel smirk tugging at his lips. “She won’t last a minute,” someone in the crowd snickered. Casey ignored them. The fight master raised his hand. “Start!” Her opponent lunged, aiming a brutal punch at her face. But he was too slow. Casey ducked, the air whistling past her ear as his fist missed by mere inches. Before he could recover, she pivoted sharply, driving her elbow into his ribs. A satisfying gru

Chapter: Chapter SevenCasey paced the small room, her mind racing. The orphanage had been her prison for too long, a place where she had been treated like an unwanted stray—fed just enough to keep her alive, drugged enough to keep her docile. But no more. She moved to the wooden wardrobe in the corner, opening it silently. There wasn’t much inside—just a few tattered shirts, worn-out pants, and an old jacket that had seen better days. None of it mattered. She wasn’t planning on taking much with her. Instead, she reached beneath the pile of clothes and pulled out a small bundle wrapped in cloth. Carefully, she unwrapped it, revealing another thin, sharp knife. It was small enough to be hidden easily but deadly in the right hands. She had stolen it from the kitchen months ago, keeping it hidden under her mattress until she was ready. Tonight, she will be. Her gaze flickered to the locked door. The orphanage followed a strict schedule—lights out at nine, the doors locked by ten, and patrols by the instruc

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXOutside the Old Building, Lucas paused outside the aging structure, his sharp gaze sweeping over its crumbling facade. The wood of the door was splintered, and the windows, clouded with grime, cast a faint, eerie reflection in the late afternoon light.Behind him, Director Steve shifted nervously, his hands wringing together. "This building," he began, his voice a touch too quick, "was constructed fifty years ago, back when the orphanage was first established. It’s long past its prime. The children who lived here were moved to the newer facility years ago. Hardly anyone comes here anymore."Lucas didn’t respond, his attention fixed on the moss creeping over the narrow stone path leading to the door. Its green fingers blanketed the ground as though nature itself had claimed the area—yet he noticed the abrupt break in the pattern.The section nearest to the main road was suspiciously bare, its stone surface worn smooth by the unmistakable rhythm of regular footsteps."Hardly anyone," Lu
