Author: Simon Vale
The phone slipped from Jordyn's hand and hit the floor with a sharp crack. The screen shattered, mirroring her heart that shattered at the same time.

She stood frozen in place, her bloodshot eyes staring blankly ahead as she murmured, "No... This can't be happening… He's really dead…"

"Captain Croft." The technician spoke cautiously, his voice trembling. "There are a few more videos. Do you want me to play them?"

Jordyn's body jolted violently. Her trembling worsened, and she clenched her tee

  • Betrayed Undercover: The Traitor Wasn't Him   Chapter 9

    Jordyn infiltrated another international drug trafficking organization, continuing her fight against evil in the name of justice. Carrying my final wish with her, she vowed to protect the ordinary lives I had died trying to protect.Deep inside the cartel's territory, the nights were filled with neon lights, booze, violence, and danger.Jordyn learned to smoke and swear. She learned to face every test with the coolest expression she could muster. She buried the gentle, composed police captain she'd once been deep within herself and disguised herself as a ruthless mercenary who cared about nothing but money.She carefully maintained her cover, slowly earning the drug lord's trust and advancing step by step toward its inner circle.At the same time, she used micro devices to secretly photograph and record transactions, documenting the cartel's network. She broke the intelligence into encrypted fragments and transmitted them back to the police, providing precise information for futu

    Jordyn's movements stopped abruptly. She stared at her stomach in disbelief.She was going to have a child with Milo?This unexpected revelation stirred complicated feelings in me.Milo pulled out the ultrasound report and hurriedly held it out to her. "I just got this. You're pregnant with my child. The baby is innocent. You can clear Christopher's name and have Roxanne sentenced to death. As long as you keep this a secret, no one will ever know what I did. We can forget everything and live together as a family of three…"Jordyn suddenly let out a cold, mocking laugh. "You think I care about this child?"Milo's sobbing stopped instantly. He looked up at Jordyn in disbelief, despair filling his eyes.He stammered, "W-What did you say? B-But this is your child. Your own flesh and blood…""So what?" Jordyn's voice was filled with unbearable pain and bitter mockery. There wasn't a trace of warmth in it.She pressed, "Is one child more important than the lives of the dozen office

    The convoy set out again.This time, everyone was in an unbearably depressive mood. Total silence filled the police cars. The only sounds were the roar of the engines and the restrained breathing of the people riding the vehicles.Jordyn sat in the passenger seat and stared blankly out the window. The pain and regret in her eyes were so intense that it nearly spilled over, but she never allowed herself to show another moment of weakness.The image of me from the videos kept flashing through her mind, along with recollections of the life we'd shared. All those sweet moments and promises had now become harrowing and haunting memories that inflicted a stabbing pain in her heart.I hovered beside her, watching her pale profile. I instinctively reached out to wipe away the tear at the corner of her eye, but my hand passed straight through her body.When they returned to the police station, officers thronged the lobby. Everyone was in uniform, their expressions solemn and their backs st

Do you want me to play them?"Jordyn's body jolted violently. Her trembling worsened, and she clenched her teeth so tightly they chattered.But she didn't back down. She had already guessed what those videos contained. She didn't want to watch them, but she had to. They were the truth she had no choice but to face.With trembling fingers, she opened the first video.The footage was dark and gruesome. The inside of the warehouse was clearly visible. There were broken chains and rusted blunt instruments scattered everywhere, along with bloodstains covering the walls.And there I was, strapped to an ir

    Jordyn gave her phone a quick glance before slipping it into her uniform pocket. No trace of emotion showed in her eyes.A deep frown creased her brow. The tips of her fingers still tingled from the heat of the cigarette butt as she spoke urgently. "What lead? Spit it out!"The officer making the report was holding a USB drive. He was still panting as he continued, "We found it wedged in a crack in the rocks behind the warehouse. It was extremely well hidden. It looked like someone had deliberately left it there."The officers around them immediately began whispering among themselves."Maybe it's evidence of Christopher's crimes.""It has to be him! Besides him, who on earth would bother hiding it so carefully?"Jordyn took the USB drive without the slightest hesitation. Her voice was firm as she said, "If this really contains evidence of his crimes, then I will show him no mercy. I'll personally make sure he stands trial."I hovered beside her, staring at the USB drive. M

    A month before Jordyn and my wedding, we finally received solid intelligence on the drug trafficking organization. The opportunity was too rare to pass up, so our superiors decided to move in that very night.I led the main assault team, while Jordyn coordinated the perimeter and provided backup. The night before the operation, she helped me check my equipment again and again. Finally, she wrapped her arms tightly around me and rested her forehead against my chest. "Be careful. You have to come back in one piece and be my groom.""Yes, Captain Croft." I smiled and hugged her back, gently ruffling her hair. My heart filled with happiness and anticipation for our future.Milo came by that night too. He was carrying a cup of warm milk, his eyes bloodshot with worry.He said, "Chris, please come back safely. I'm looking forward to attending your wedding."I didn't think anything of it. I drank the milk in one go, patted him on the shoulder, and told him not to worry.On the day of
