A Forbidden Night With The Enemy Chapter 61 The Cartel Bluff
The clock was eating me alive.Every second dragged me closer to midnight, closer to the promise the cartel had whispered in my ear: if I didn’t keep to my deal, Viper would be executed. I could almost hear it—the crack of a gunshot, the echo bouncing off warehouse walls, the silence after.I’d made choices in my life that carried weight. Deals with devils. Betrayals I swore I’d never commit. But this? Waiting while Viper’s life dangled in the dark—this was worse.My hands gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles burned white. I kept checking the rear view, scanning the streets. Every set of headlights made my chest tighten. Was it them? Was it the call? Was it the moment I lost him?Maria’s note burned in my jacket pocket, but it didn't matter if Viper was gone. Without him, the whole game shifted. Without him, I wasn’t just fighting Reyes—I’d be fighting alone.I glanced at the dashboard clock. 11:47.Thirteen minutes.My phone buzzed.For a second, I froze. My heart skipped, th
A Forbidden Night With The Enemy Chapter 60 Fractured Resolve
The walls were closing in. Naomi’s confession tore the ground from beneath me, leaving me raw, hollow, and furious. Viper’s blood was on the line, Maria was still in Reyes’s grip, and now Naomi carried a truth that could fracture the little loyalty I had left in my circle. For a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t think. The weight of too many lives, too many secrets, crushed against my chest.But standing still was death. Mark’s voice was a blade in my ear, cold and merciless: "We stick to the plan." But I had to do the opposite. Between them, I felt myself ripping in two—logic against loyalty, strategy against heart.And yet, through the storm of it all, only one truth crystallized. Reyes was tightening the leash. Maria was more than bait now—she was leverage, the axis this war turned on. If I didn’t move first, Reyes would drag me into his game, break me piece by piece, until there was nothing left.So I chose movement. Not words, not hesitation. Action.I loaded the pistol, mapped t
A Forbidden Night With The Enemy The Breaking Point
Maria Reyes—no, Maria Wolfe. Her name twisted inside me like a knife. Every time I said it, even silently, it burned. She wasn’t just another piece on the board, not just another player in this endless war. She was mine once and she had turned my weakness. And Hector knew it. That was the problem.Hector didn’t understand love because he had never felt it. People to him weren’t partners, they weren’t family. They were assets—expendable, replaceable, nothing more than tools to sharpen his hunger. I’d done bad things, yes. I wasn’t innocent. But at least I knew where my sins ended. Hector’s? His had no bottom. His brand of evil was pure, methodical, without limits. And for the first time, staring into the shadows he cast, I realized what kind of monster I was truly up against.I have mapped out all my plans. Every path to break Hector’s empire had been calculated, every angle weighed, every weakness targeted. I had built a perfect machine of destruction. But Maria changed everything. Wi
A Forbidden Night With The Enemy Chapter 58 The Line Between Fire and Ash
The SSD sat in my jacket pocket, heavier than any weapon I carried. A single drive. Data enough to topple empires. Men had killed for less. I had killed for less.I sat down, the leather chair creaking under me, and dialled the number Mark had slipped me earlier. Cartel. Sombra’s men. My thumb hesitated over the call button for only a second before I pressed it.The line rang once. Twice. On the third, a voice answered—low, accented, sharp as a knife."Wolfe."The sound of my name on his tongue was like a gun cocking. They knew me. They’d been waiting."Put Viper on," I said. My voice was steady, cold, but inside my chest, the weight pressed harder.Static. Then, a muffled sound. A groan. My knuckles clenched. It was Viper. Alive. Barely.A chuckle followed. "He breathes. For now. But you know the terms. The SSD. You bring it, you walk away with him. Midnight. No SSD, no Viper."I leaned forward, elbows on my knees, staring at the drive on the table. My voice cut low. "You think I’m d
A Forbidden Night With The Enemy Chapter 57 Two Hours to Midnight
Darian WolfeIt was two hours and forty-three minutes to midnight. Two hours and forty-three minutes until the ultimatum burned out, and the cartel proved they weren’t bluffing. Viper’s life dangled in the balance—tightrope thin, like a noose swaying over the docks.Mark leaned against the table like he owned the room, glass of whiskey in hand, swirling it slowly. He was patient, too patient—the kind of man who could sit there forever just waiting for someone to crack. He fed off pressure, lived for the moment someone else shouldered the impossible choice. His suit was flawless, cut sharp against the chaos simmering around us, but his eyes gave him away. Cold, watchful, calculating. Always measuring angles.Once, he’d been an ally. Back when we were ghosts moving through shadows on missions no one ever admitted happened. But trust had long since bled out of that bond, replaced by this ugly thing—mutual need."Where are they keeping Viper?" My voice came out calm, though inside it felt
A Forbidden Night With The Enemy Chapter 56 Where is Maria?
Naomi Velez After leaving the room in the west wing, the guards led me to Maria’s bedroom. The lights were dim, the curtains drawn halfway, and the air carried her perfume faintly, as if she had only just been there. My chest tightened, but I said nothing.A doctor arrived minutes later, carrying a small case. She looked calm on the surface, but the stiffness in her movements gave her away. Even the way she set her bag on the table felt rehearsed, like she was forcing control.She checked my temperature first, then tilted my chin up to examine my eyes. Her fingers were steady, but her breathing was shallow. She pressed against my wrist, counting my pulse, then moved through the rest of her checks quickly and quietly.When she finished, her eyes lingered on me a moment too long. Something in her expression shifted—surprise, recognition."Are you—?" she began."Yes, I am," I whispered before she could finish. "But keep it quiet."Her lips pressed together, and she gave the smallest nod
