Chapter 71 Tell Me That's Not True!

Author: Day Torres
The general ran a trembling hand over his face before staring down at the photograph—eyes fixed, throat tight, barely able to swallow the lump forming in his chest.

"How could you…? You're a damn monster," he hissed.

"That's what war does to all of us. No innocence survives the battlefield," Alcott replied coldly. "Maxine Johnson is no longer your asset, especially not one you can use against me. If you keep pushing the investigation about those missiles, I swear the only thing waiting for you is a death sentence."

Morrison could barely endure the hatred and venom behind his words.

"That's not how this ends," the general said, voice calm but resolute. "I won't let you get away with this. I don't care what you've done, or what you're willing to do to cover it up. I will hunt you down, no matter the cost. And I swear, you will face justice."

"Nurse!" he shouted, grabbing the photo off the desk and turning his wheelchair around to leave.

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 77 "No One's Around at This Hour"

    Leon sighed as he handed him another beer and didn't even bother offering painkillers as he knew Liam needed that pain to survive. It was the price he had to pay for those moments when he hadn't thought things through, for the times he'd turned his back on a woman who had given everything for him. Now, even hope just hurt. "You can stay here tonight… on one condition: please take a shower," he said. "We'll talk tomorrow." Liam did his best to follow through. He took a shower in the boat's tiny bathroom and tried to get some sleep in the little cabin bed, but his chest hurt too much—both inside and out. Those words kept echoing in his head: "If Max were alive, wouldn't she have found a way to contact you by now?" "What if she can't?" he muttered. "What if she just… can't?" Despite the pain, he sat up and immediately reached for his phone. A hunch—he didn't know why—led him to go through every number that had called him in the past three months. He started calling them back one

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 76 No Way Out

    Max woke up with a start. That sixth sense of hers—the one that always warned her when she was in danger—was blaring like a siren inside her. She got up quietly and pulled out the gun she kept under the bed, but not before slipping on her graphene vest. She loaded and cocked the pistol, trying not to make a sound, and moved through the narrow corridors of the hideout in complete silence. There was no one around, but she still didn't feel safe. She crept up to one of the hatches and didn't have to wait long before she heard footsteps outside. It was nighttime, and in the three months she'd been there, no one had ever come snooping around. Norsethorne wasn't exactly a town full of teenagers sneaking off to drink where their parents couldn't see them, so this could only mean one thing: they'd found her. Max rushed back to the main cell and quickly gathered her things, holding her breath even though she knew escaping without being seen was unlikely. She grabbed the bag she had alread

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 75 I Don't Want Justice...

    Leon pulled out a beer and offered it to Liam, who leaned against the railing at the bow of the boat. The two of them drank in silence for a moment, surrounded by the sound of the sea and the weight of the past. "There's not much left to say," Liam finally muttered. "They killed her. Corrupt bastards inside the army. I imagine she told you a little." "A bit," Leon admitted. "But she didn't have proof. She wasn't sure of anything. So I assume... you don't have any either." Liam gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "That's because I'm not looking for proof. I'm not looking for justice. What I want... is something very different." He turned to Leon, and his eyes burned with the kind of fire that left nothing standing in its path. "I want revenge." Leon swallowed hard, his jaw tightening. The man in front of him looked broken in every possible way—hair longer and messy, a scruffy beard, his clothes stained and rumpled. There was no trace of the arrogant heir anymore—only g

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 74 Just to Hear His Voice

    Liam stared at the deposits across six new bank accounts he had opened. Eight hundred sixty-four million total—what Cassian Wolf had paid for his shares in the company. And just like that, Cassian had become the majority shareholder of Harrington Exports. One week. That was all it had taken for Cassian to reroute the ships to his own company, change port licenses to his name, and do exactly what he'd promised Liam he would: tear the company apart piece by piece and sell it off in chunks. Garrett Harrington had been on the verge of collapse for days. Doctors and ambulances were in and out of the house. He'd screamed, threatened, begged, but it had all been useless. Cassian Wolf wasn't just the majority shareholder anymore—he owned the entire company outright. And he didn't mind losing a couple hundred million to destroy it. After all, wiping out his biggest competitor meant he'd earn far more in the long run. Liam's mother and sisters had tried more than once to get him to "fix" t

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 73 I Will Have My Revenge

    Liam opened his eyes and sat up from the floor—apparently where he had passed out after his last round of drinking. He felt helpless, incapable of doing anything to change the course of his life. But at some point, hatred began to burn hotter than hope. "I haven't backed out," he said into the phone, voice rough and deadened. "But I'm not exactly in my best condition. If you want my signature, you're going to have to come to me." On the other end of the line, Cassian Wolf went quiet for a moment. Fortunately—or unfortunately—curiosity outweighed suspicion, and in any case, he was already in the city. "Send me the address. I'll bring the papers myself," he replied. Liam sent him the location via Whatsapp, then tried to shower and clean up what he could before Cassian arrived. But nothing could have prepared the Velmarkian for what he'd find behind that door. The apartment was half in darkness and smelled like something had died in it. The kitchen and living room were scatter

  • Bride of the Billionaire Beast   Chapter 72 A Nightmare

    "He handed her over to be killed." That sentence echoed in Liam's ears like a death sentence. Maybe he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen that cursed photo lying on the table in front of him. His hand trembled as he reached for it. And the moment his fingers brushed the paper, his eyes welled up with tears. In the photo… was Max's lifeless body. She looked so fragile and vulnerable, more than she had ever allowed herself to be. Her brown hair was tangled, soaked in blood, her body dumped between what looked like piles of trash bags. Her eyes were open—empty. Her chest was covered in blood, riddled with bullet wounds, and her limbs were twisted in a way that no living body could lie. Liam gasped for breath, gripped by a terror so raw it threatened to tear him apart. The memories of their last moments together crashed into his mind like a relentless storm. The air felt ripped from his lungs. He felt shattered, knowing that she had suffered so much… The wounds were visi
