Chapter 50Kelly’s POVBefore I could respond, Diane ran and threw her arms around him.“Jayson…” she squealed. “I thought you were dead.”“Dead?” Jayson raised a brow, his usual calm smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “That’s dramatic, even for you.”Robertson stepped forward, the sound of his boots heavy against the marble floor. He stopped just inches from Jayson, staring hard.“You were rumored shot and dead,” he said, rubbing his temple as if the whole situation was giving him a migraine. “Though we told the public you were missing.”“Good,” Jayson replied smoothly, brushing Diane off gently. “Let them believe it. It gives us leverage.”Robertson’s brows knitted together. “What do you mean?”“Kane thinks I’m gone. And so does Mr. Reynolds, for now. That puts us in a position of control. If I’m presumed dead, no one’s watching my movements. I can go where others can’t. Dig where others won’t.”Clever bastard.Robertson narrowed his eyes. “You saw him, didn’t you? Reynolds.”

Chapter 49:Kane's POV“What do you mean Mr. Reynolds has escaped?” I growled, my voice slicing through the room like a blade.The air went still.Micah hesitated, then straightened. “We received intel from Russia ten minutes ago. Facility 09 was compromised.”I leaned forward slowly. “Compromised how?”“There was an assault. Clean. Fast. No security feeds survived, and over forty guards are confirmed dead. Reynolds is no longer in custody.”A sharp pain pulsed behind my eyes.“That prison was underground,” I muttered. “Built to contain the worst of the worst. There were only two ways in or out—and both were death traps.”Micah nodded grimly. “Whoever orchestrated this knew that. It was inside help. The escape was executed using one of the facility’s backup helicopters.”Of course it was.I turned my back to them, staring out the window, jaw clenched hard enough to ache.Reynolds was out.That meant the nightmare wasn’t over. That meant the ghosts from our past weren’t done with us ye

Chapter 48:Jayson's POVThe wind howled like a beast as the helicopter blades cut through the frozen Russian air. I looked down at the blanket of white below, vast, endless, and suffocating. Somewhere beneath that snow-covered wilderness was the place I swore I’d never return to.The prison.It was buried so deep underground that even the devil would think twice before stepping in.“We’re here,” the pilot said, his thick accent slicing through my thoughts. “Five minutes.”I nodded and adjusted the black gloves on my hands, tightening them as the metal bird began to descend onto a narrow helipad surrounded by nothing but ice, barbed fences, and cold steel watchtowers. The sight alone pulled old memories I’d buried so deep.As soon as the chopper touched down, I stepped out, boots crunching against the snow. The wind slapped me in the face, biting through my coat like needles, but it didn’t matter.I was here for a reason.Two guards in heavy winter uniforms approached, rifles strapped

Chapter 47Kelly POV“What do you mean they failed?” Robertson snarled, banging on my table.“We don't know what happened,” the messenger stuttered, stepping back. “Everything was going as planned then suddenly Kane showed up with his men.”“Kane?” Robertson paused. The messenger lightened up. “Yes, Kane, it was Kane's fault.” “And how did he know?” Robertson asked calmly, brandishing his pistol. “Well… I.. I…” BANG!!!The messengers face gave a neutral expression as he clutched his bloody chest, he gave me one look then landed on the floor with a hard thud. I walked over the lifeless body and stood across Robertson who was pouring himself a drink. “You didn't have to kill him,” I sighed. Robertson’s eyes flickered to me. “Well, he failed to kidnap the bitch.” “He was still one of your best hitman,” I reminded him, taking the seat in front of me. “Besides you're up against Kane, you shouldn't expect it to be that simple.” Robertson took a sip from the glass, poured more on a

Chapter 46:Caroline’s POVI felt a chill run down my spine. The man's words echoed in my head. If necessary…So they would kill us if we didn't comply. There was no way Kane sent these men. He might be controlling and ruthless, but he would never endanger me. Not like this. Not when I was carrying his children.Before I could process another thought, one of them grabbed me, his grip tightened around my arm. I cried out, struggling, but it only made him hold me tighter.Across the room, Gina was putting up a fight of her own. She wasn’t going down quietly, she kicked, clawed, and cursed like a soldier in battle. But it wasn’t enough. One of the men slammed her against the wall, pinning her arms behind her.“No…. stop! Let her go!” I screamed, panic choking my voice.“Quiet,” the man growled.I thrashed, but their grip never loosened. They were strong. Trained. This wasn’t a random break-in.They were here on a mission.Just as the man holding me turned toward the door, dragging me a

Chapter 45:Kane's POV “Very well, then.” I stood slowly, keeping my jaw tight. I took my bath and dressed up in one of my tailored suits. My eyes landed on the ear pods on my desk. It had been a while since I listened to any music, I had avoided it for years.Anytime I listened to music, it only meant I was about to do something serious. Apparently whenever I listened to music, I usually had the best performances and I never really needed to use my full abilities to get what I want.But now…. I was dealing with Kelly. I picked up the earpod case, popped one into my ear, opened my playlist then pressed ‘In the Heights the musical.’I opened the door and met my assistant waiting beside my car. It's time I took this game seriously. I told myself before walking into the car. It's high time I showed them who the king was.When I stepped into the car, I almost frowned but then I smiled. The scent of Caroline's perfume from the previous day still lingered in the car. Caroline….. she h
