730 Days OF Revenge CHAPTER NINE
Morning light streamed through the tall glass windows of the high school corridors, illuminating the spacious hallways. Students moved between classes, talking among themselves as teachers passed by and classroom doors opened and closed.Melissa walked through the crowd with her school bag held close to her.For the first time in weeks, she felt a little lighter, her mother was recovering.Rachel was finally home from the hospital, and although she was still weak, she was getting better every day.After everything her family had been through, that small improvement meant more to Melissa than she could explain.And today, she wanted to do something she hadn't been able to do in weeks.She wanted to talk to Jordan.Jordan had been avoiding her ever since her family's situation began to fall apart.At first, Melissa had tried to understand.Maybe he didn't know what to say.Maybe he was uncomfortable because of everything happening at home.Maybe he was simply giving her space.But as th
730 Days OF Revenge CHAPTER EIGHT : SILENT PAIN
The living room, once drowned in the suffocating silence of poverty and fear, was alive with voices. For the first time in weeks, the house smelled of something other than sickness. Fresh lilies decorated the room, while the rich aroma of spices drifted from the kitchen, temporarily masking the stale scent that had settled into the walls. Rachel sat upright on the sofa, her frail body supported by a mountain of pillows. She was still pale from the heart surgery, and although the worst of the pain had passed, exhaustion remained etched across her face. Around her sat women dressed in expensive silk wraps and designer clothing. Their designer handbags rested beside their chairs, and their manicured nails glittered beneath the afternoon light as they lifted porcelain teacups and exchanged laughter. Aunty Zain was among them. Her gold bangles chimed against her cup as she laughed loudly, adjusting the colourful headwrap around her head. Looking at her now, no one would have
730 Days OF Revenge CHAPTER SEVEN : THE ARCHITECT
Deep within the vast estate of the Sovereign Syndicate lay a world that very few people knew existed. The location of the Sovereign's residence was one of the Syndicate's most closely guarded secrets. Only members of the inner circle knew where the Sovereign Lord resided, and even then, knowledge was limited. Not everyone within the inner circle knew the exact location of the main underground. Only a select few knew where the hidden entrance was. Fewer still knew how to reach the deepest section of the underground, where the Sovereign Lord of the Sovereign Syndicate lived and conducted the affairs of his empire from the shadows. At the heart of that underground lay the Inner Chamber. It was a room untouched by daylight, silent except for the low hum of digital servers and the steady ticking of a grandfather clock. Lord Damian stood perfectly straight in the centre of the room, his hands clasped behind his back. Before him, seated in a high backed chair facing a wall of monit
730 Days OF Revenge CHAPTER SIX : TRAPPED.
Raymond walked home from Sovereign territory, his legs weighed down by exhaustion and his chest constricted by a suffocating blend of relief and terror. Over at St.Gabriel Heart Institute Hospital, a surgical team was already prepping Rachel for the procedure.But the clock had already started.Every step he took felt like another second stolen from his daughter's freedom.As he turned onto his street, his gaze settled on the small front porch of their home.Melissa stood by the front door, a small package cradled in her hands. It was neatly wrapped in thick, unbranded black paper. She slowly turned it over, glancing up and down the empty street, searching for whoever might have left it behind.The road was completely silent.Curiosity getting the better of her, Melissa raised a finger to pick at the taped seal."Melissa! Stop!"Raymond’s voice shattered the quiet morning air.He sprinted up the steps, snatching the parcel out of her hands, a heartbeat before she could tear it op
730 Days OF Revenge CHAPTER FIVE : BLOOD BARGAIN.
Raymond Bultman had spent the last three nights convincing himself there had to be another way.There wasn't.Every bank had rejected him.Every investor had turned him away.Friends who once called him "brother" suddenly couldn't answer their phones.His company was bankrupt.His home had been sold.The last of his savings had vanished beneath hospital bills.Now the only thing separating his wife from death was the one man Raymond had prayed he would never have to face.Lord Damian Alistair.Back in school, everyone knew the Alistair family wasn't an ordinary wealthy family. They were the family behind the Sovereign Syndicate, the most feared criminal organisation in the city.Damian's father had ruled the Syndicate with an iron fist. His reign had plunged the city into years of fear and bloodshed. His name alone was enough to silence entire neighbourhoods, and crossing the Alistair family was considered a death sentence.Raymond also remembered how harsh the old man had been with h
730 Days OF Revenge CHAPTER FOUR : THE SINGLE CALL.
" SIX MONTHS AGO" The Hospital Bed The steady, clinical beep of the heart monitor was the only sound keeping the silence alive in Room 501. Rachel looked incredibly fragile, swallowed up by the white hospital sheets, her skin pale and translucent under the harsh fluorescent lights. The advanced heart condition was suffocating her, making every breath a visible battle. Raymond sat on the edge of the plastic chair, his head in his hands. His world had completely collapsed. The bankruptcy had stripped them clean; the business was gone, their properties had been auctioned off, and the family members and lifelong friends he had begged for help had all closed their doors when the storm hit. He was entirely alone, staring at a medical bill he couldn't pay for a surgery she couldn't survive without. "Rachel," Raymond whispered, his voice cracking as he leaned closer to her pillow. "I have one option left. There’s someone from my past... a schoolmate. We weren't close, just acqu
