Chapter: CHAPTER 103: The EndThe morning sun washed over the bustling streets of downtown Ashford Bay, casting long, golden shadows across the pavement. Abigail stood on the sidewalk, holding a warm cup of coffee in her hands. The cool coastal breeze tugged at her hair, but she didn't mind. She looked up at the painted wooden sign hanging above the large, gleaming glass windows. Hope's Garden.A delivery truck idled loudly at the curb. Two workers carried tall, bright floral arrangements through the front doors, the smell of damp earth, crushed leaves, and fresh roses spilling out onto the street. Abigail directed them, her voice calm and gentle. She pointed to the display corners and told them exactly where to place the white orchids, the sunflowers, and the rare lilies. She was now a mother, a survivor, and the proud owner of her own thriving dream business.Grey stepped out of a black car parked across the street. His silver-streaked hair caught the morning light. His wound that nearly killed him a year ag

Chapter: CHAPTER 102: The Ashford Bay ManhuntJax sat in the back of a black surveillance van parked on an Ashford Bay street. The glowing screens of his laptops cast a pale blue light over his face. The side door of the van slid open. The cold, salty wind of the coastal city rushed inside, bringing the smell of rain.Marcus stepped into the van. He wore a dark jacket, rain dripping from his collar. A stark white bandage still covered the side of his head where Evelyn had struck him, but he refused to stay in a hospital bed."My men have the perimeter locked," Marcus said. "Our team security has every road leading out of this block barricaded. If he tries to run, he'll hit a wall of armed guards."Jax nodded, keeping his eyes on the digital map on his screen. "Good. He is in Room 14. First floor, near the back alley."This was the ultimate crossover of forces. Hunt Group’s former federal agent and ECO Oils’ ruthless second-in-command working side by side. "Let's go get him," Jax said. He closed the laptop and grabbed his weapon

Chapter: CHAPTER 101: Mirrored ChaosThe sterile white walls of the Cedarville General Hospital corridor felt like a prison.Lucius was still at the waiting room. He hadn't changed his ruined shirt.The silence in the waiting area was deafening. The doctor’s words echoed on a loop in his mind. The blood loss puts your unborn child at severe risk.Lucius leaned forward and buried his face in his bloodstained hands. He had no idea. He didn't know he was about to become a father again. He didn't know Alura was carrying their child. The thought that he might lose them both before they even had a chance to build a life together tore him apart from the inside out. He could not breathe. He could not think. At this point he was begging the universe for a miracle. A swarm of local police officers had arrived minutes after the ambulance, demanding statements and trying to breach the surgical wing. Jax did not let them pass. He managed the police with authority, flashing his federal credentials and forcing the detectives to wait

Chapter: CHAPTER 100: HopeBack in Ashford Bay.Abigail woke up to the smell of mold and rotting wood.Her vision swam as she tried to open her eyes. The room was freezing. She was lying flat on a rusted hospital gurney, staring up at a ceiling covered in water stains and peeling paint. Panic hit her like a physical blow. She tried to sit up, but thick leather straps dug into her wrists and ankles, pinning her down."Don't struggle, Abigail. It's bad for the baby's heart rate."Abigail's head snapped towards her direction. Evelyn stood near a broken window, humming a quiet, cheerful tune. She had taken off her disguise and now wore a stolen white medical coat. She was arranging a row of sharp, shining surgical tools on a dirty rolling tray."Evelyn," Abigail gasped, her throat dry and burning from the chloroform. "Let me go. Please. I beg you."Evelyn turned around, smiling a warm, terrifying smile. Her delusions were in full control now. She didn't see her plan as kidnapping, she only saw a birth plan."Why wo

Chapter: CHAPTER 99: Horror weddingThe Hunt vow renewal was the most anticipated event of the decade.The estate gardens were transformed into a dream. Thousands of white roses lined the walkways, and crystal lights hung from the branches of the old oak trees, catching the afternoon sun. Hundreds of elite guests, rival CEOs, Friends, family and local politicians sat in rows of white chairs on the green lawn. News helicopters circled far above the property line, desperate to get a shot of the billionaire and his bride.In the front row, Bryan sat with a bright smile. He looked sharp in a tailored suit, radiating the confidence of a successful working model. He didn't like to wear suits, but Alura had joked and told him he might find a girlfriend in the after-party, and he wouldn't want to regret not dressing impressively.He was finally happy and free from Roland’s dark shadow, and he cheered louder than anyone else as the ceremony began.At the altar, Lucius stood waiting. He wore a blue tuxedo. Beside him stood Jax

Chapter: CHAPTER 98: Evelyn took herGrey placed a loaded handgun on his thigh.He had not slept in these past few days. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Dr. Evelyn standing over Abigail. The news of Evelyn’s escape from police custody played on a loop in his mind. That woman was no longer just a disgraced therapist. She was suffering a full psychotic break, and she was practically hunting his family.Grey stared at the locked bedroom door of their new penthouse. His paranoia was eating him alive. He trusted his guards, he trusted Marcus, and he trusted the FBI, but none of it felt like enough. Until she was completely gone, he wouldn't have peace of mind.Yesterday morning, they found a small, plain cardboard box sitting right outside the penthouse front doors.It bypassed the lobby security. It bypassed the armed guards in the hallway. When Grey opened it, his blood ran cold. There was no bomb inside. There was no threat note. There was only a tiny white baby dress but with a red stain on it.Evelyn was playing a
