You made plans behind my back without talking to me about it first, Ariel,” He then walks past me and walks out of the closet. “I thought I was doing something nice for you – for us at least. You have always worked so hard, so at least take this day off with me. We never got to celebrate our wedding anniversary,” I rebuke. He decides not to say anything.

Back in prison, Victor Fernando sat alone — his thumbs tapping a familiar rhythm on a tablet he wasn’t supposed to have. A voice rang through the secure phone. “She gave them the server location. She’s decrypting it now.” Victor’s face slowly twisted into something less than human. “Monica…” he
Rachel swallowed. “They found Victor’s mole. A man inside legal. He tried to activate something… something your father called the Funeral Flame.” Monica blinked. “No… no, that wasn’t supposed to be real. He told me it was bluff. A scare tactic.” “It’s real,” Rachel said grimly. “And it’s happe
It was nearly midnight when Caleb and Chase arrived at Elias Dane’s apartment — a modest, minimalist space on the 28th floor of a luxury high-rise, paid for by Coles Group. A smart place for someone who knew how to stay invisible. But they weren’t knocking. They were already inside. Security had
The Coles Group cybersecurity command centre was alive with noise. Red alerts flashed across screens. Anomalous activity buzzed through encrypted firewalls. Something was off. Deeply off. Caleb stormed into the room, Chase right behind him. “What’s happening?” Chase barked. A young analyst, pani
