Contract With The Age Gap Billionaire Chapter 62. A web of lies
In Nathan's grasp, the drive's screen flickered, its message infiltrating his thoughts like a parasite. Nathan, you can't flee from me. The Architect: "I always get what I want." He clenched his jaw. Regardless of who this architect was, they were more than simply a danger; they were an orchestrator, drawing strings from the darkness in anticipation of the ideal moment. Nathan looked up at Anita, who was still breathing shallowly and had her fingers gripped around his sleeve. Even though she had just managed to get away, this was hardly the end. It was only the beginning, if anything.As security personnel rushed into the flaming warehouse, the sirens outside grew louder. Gregor and Sophia were already ahead, hiding next to the cars. However, Nathan couldn't get rid of the thought that this was precisely what their adversary desired. A pursuit. A game. And he was taking full advantage of it. Her voice was scratchy as Anita gulped hard. "The Architect—who the hell is he?"

The realisation that the Architect was already inside caused Nathan's mind to race. There was an overwhelming hush in the penthouse. Everything appeared abnormally loud, as though the building itself was holding its breath. This included the distant buzz of city traffic, the rustling of air from the air vents and even the quiet tick of the wall clock. Anita stood next to him, her heart pounding as she looked for answers in his expression. The fear he couldn't let her see, not when things were getting out of hand, was reflected in the terror in her eyes. He sensed that something was wrong. A chill had crept down his spine as soon as they had reached the penthouse, alerting him to the peril that lay ahead. Every instinct told him that their adversaries were already here, in the precise location he believed to be his haven, rather than merely hiding in the shadows. Nathan said in a quiet, hurried voice, "Get the security team to sweep the entire building." Examine every floor and every

The words "Checkmate" flashed across Nathan's phone screen, and his heartbeat sped. It was a disturbing message, as though the sender were observing him and anticipating his next move. The walls were closing in on him. Now there was nowhere safe. There was no evading what was coming. Nathan was stuck in a game he never wanted to play because the Architect had precisely placed their pieces. In the strained hush, Anita's breath was a thin whisper as she took a step closer. "Nathan... What does this signify? "Checkmate?" Desperate for a response, she looked into his face, but all she saw was the same sombre realisation that took hold of him. Nathan walked the tiny security room with his hands balled into fists and tossed the phone aside. All of their instincts told them they were being monitored. Perhaps everything was a part of a bigger scheme. He detested being this vulnerable, like a puppet with unseen ropes dragging him to an unavoidable end. Nathan whispered to himself, "They've be

A sharp, burning pain from the bullet's graze on Nathan's shoulder sent him reeling back into the room's chaos. Before his intellect could react, his instincts took over and his body began to move. Panic swept through the room as he shoved Anita to the ground and protected her with his own body as gunfire reverberated. Her body shook under him as the blast of sound drowned out Anita's scream. "Nathan!" she said, her voice brimming with fear. Nathan restrained her with a force commensurate with the gravity of the situation, even as she attempted to push herself up."Anita, stay put! Keep still! He spoke in a strong voice with a hint of desperation. His thoughts were racing; everything was moving too quickly. The Architect had stopped playing games and was launching a full-scale assault. Furthermore, he had no idea who had been deceiving him all along. Another shot went off, this one closer. Even though blood was leaking from Nathan's shoulder, he found it difficult to lift

As Nathan stumbled back, blood streaming from the new wound across his side, the world briefly appeared to distort. Even though the pain was blinding, he continued to move. The acute focus, almost automatic, replaced the pain as the adrenaline pumped through his veins drowned it out. As Sophia watched him with almost clinical curiosity and rubbed the knife's blade with her thumb, her eyes glinted with a cold, detached amusement. A smile that stopped short of her eyes twisted her lips. Nathan, you always believed you were unbeatable, didn't you? You have been playing an unwinnable game all this time.His shirt became darkly stained as the blood from his side seeped through it. Despite having trouble breathing, Nathan persisted. After everything, he was not going to allow her to win now. His mind was racing, trying to figure out what he should do next. Anita's piercing, terrified voice broke through the atmosphere. "Nathan! You must— Nathan cut in, his voice tense with agon

Nathan’s breathing was hard, his side scorching from the cut Sophia had caused. His clothes was saturated in blood, and the air was heavy with the smell of metal, but he would not show them how weak he was. His thoughts were racing, calculating, trying to find a way out. Harry and Sophia stood side by side across the room, a triumphant, warped picture of treachery. Harry's grin was filled with contentment, and Nathan felt a new surge of rage when Sophia laughed icily. "I must confess, Nathan," Harry remarked, his tone brimming with derision. "Observing you in this state? Bleeding and helpless? It's a pretty sight.Nathan's vision darkened at the edges, and his jaw tightened. Throughout his life, he had battled to always be one step ahead of those like Harry. Yet, here he was, standing at the mercy of two people he had once misjudged. With her hands shaking at her sides, Anita took a step forward. Her eyes were filled with fear, but underlying that was something more fierce

The security team surrounded the penthouse, securing the area, their radios crackling with updates as they pursued the traitors through the city, but Nathan knew better than to expect an easy capture because Harry had always been slippery. Gregor holstered his gun, stepping forward, his face ashen, his expression solemn. "They won't run forever. Harry has too much pride to disappear into the shadows." Nathan's grip on Anita remained firm despite the increased tension in the air.Nathan hardly heard him and nodded. Anita, still shaking in his arms, was his centre of attention. He tilted her chin up and cupped her face tenderly. "Are you in pain?" Despite shaking her head, her wide eyes conveyed a different message to him. "They were going to take me, Nathan." Her fingers dug into his arms as her voice faltered. He gritted his teeth. "They won't have another opportunity." A stagger went through him as a sharp pain tore through his side. Anita gasped and gently but firmly reach

The restaurant was enveloped in an oppressive silence. Between Nathan and Harry were the falsified papers, a black-and-white declaration of war. Beneath the table, Anita's palm clutched Nathan's, her pulse racing against his flesh. Her searching stare weighed heavily on him, waiting for him to break the trap Harry had so meticulously prepared. Leaning back in his chair as if unconcerned, Nathan let out a deep exhale. A sneer formed on his lips, but beneath it his blood boiled. "Excellent work, Harry," he remarked, patting the folder's edge. "I'll give it to you." Harry grinned more broadly. "I knew the craftsmanship would be appreciated by you."Sophia's amused eyes shone as she crossed her arms. It's actually that easy. You must either watch your empire fall apart or allow us to take it away. Nathan tightened his jaw. He was a man who lived his life foreseeing dangers and thwarting them before they had a chance to establish themselves. However, this was a personal matte

Contract With The Age Gap Billionaire Chapter 101. A pause
As Anita's remarks reverberated across the room, silence descended once more, this time more profoundly. It's time to invite those they never thought to invite. It's time to reverse the situation. At first, Nathan remained silent. He looked her, truly studied her, and his eyes narrowed, calculating. He was constantly aware of Anita's intelligence and fortitude. However, this? This was a very different matter. Instead of cowering in the shadows behind him, she was stepping into her own and daring to confront the machine that had moulded their world. "Who are they?" With care in his voice, Gregor asked in a low murmur. "We need details if we're going to take action. Right now.Anita averted her gaze from both of them and looked up at the glistening skyline. In addition to her face, the mirror in the glass depicted the woman she had grown into, one who had withstood manipulation, treachery, and a web of power struggles that would have destroyed anybody else. She whirled aro

The air was packed with unspoken words as they locked the doors of Nathan's private office. The slight bustle of the metropolis beyond the glass walls felt distant, replaced by an oppressive silence that hung between them. Nathan stood at the far end of the room, his back to her, hands clasped behind his neck, gazing out into the darkness. His figure was black against the lighted skyline, with the weight of leadership—and everything they had worked for—weighing heavily on him.Anita took a deep breath, feeling the chilly air on her skin as she stepped into the chamber, her shoes' heels clicking quietly on the polished marble floors. Despite the opulence of the setting and the vista, everything about this moment felt off. The tension between them was real, like an invisible thread about to snap. She had never seen him this remote, closed-off.She opened her mouth to speak, but the words died on her lips as Nathan turned around, his face determined. His gaze met hers, his face op
Contract With The Age Gap Billionaire Chapter 99. Physical Blow
With the large estate in front of them softly lit by the moonlight, Nathan and Anita stood at the mansion's threshold during a tense night. Their brains were racing from the weight of what had just happened at the family meeting, and the air was heavy with unsaid words. After Nathan's audacious statement, the family-filled room had quieted down, but the situation was far from done. Now, as the night drew on, the uncertainty of what was ahead hung heavy."Do you think they’ll accept it?" Anita asked in a low voice that could hardly be heard above the gentle sound of leaves rustling in the breeze. She wasn't discussing the family. She wanted to know about the future Nathan had planned for them. the notion of restoring the family, dismantling Eleanor's poisonous authority, and forging something more resilient out of the ruins. It seemed like a huge undertaking that would call for more than simply assurances and words.As Nathan gazed off into the distance, his eyes darkened and h

After Eleanor left, the air had a strange feel to it, full with an almost tangible energy that Anita found difficult to comprehend. The family's long-standing barriers to control had crumbled, and the balance of power was changing in the silence that followed her departure. Everyone was trapped in the aftermath of what had just happened, and nobody appeared to move right away.For a few while, Anita remained motionless, her fingers still clasped together with Nathan's. Though it wasn't as strong as it once was, she could still feel the heat of his touch. She felt more confident since he now had a strength and a resolve that she had not seen before. She came to the realisation that this win was only the beginning, though, when the dust settled. There was still so much to discover. Nathan responded, "She’s gone," in a cool but slightly ferocious tone. "But that doesn’t mean this is over."Slowly, Anita nodded, her mind racing. There was still so much to accomplish, more to reve

NoAfter Gregor entered the room, the stillness felt oppressive. Eleanor, suddenly exposed, stood trembling, her poise broken. Years of manipulation, deception, and control had finally caught up with her, and she was at a loss for words.Anita froze, her heart pounding. For so long, she had dreamed of the day she would be able to reveal Eleanor for the monster she was. Now that it had arrived, however, the air felt oppressive and heavy, as though the entire planet was holding its breath in anticipation of the last blow.Eleanor's gaze shifted from Nathan to Anita and back to Gregor. Her eyes suddenly had a raw, frantic quality that had not been there before. The strong matriarch who had always had everyone enamoured with her was no longer her. For the first time, she felt defenceless as a woman standing in the ruins of her own empire. Eleanor remarked, her voice trembling but still tinged with indignation, "You're making a terrible mistake." "You believe that a few words can d

As Anita and Nathan were ready to face Eleanor, the sun was just beginning to peep over the horizon, creating lengthy shadows over the expansive estate. Once a representation of money and power, the home now felt like a prison—a chilly, inhospitable testament to all that had been done in the name of dishonesty and control. Anita gazed out over the great expanse of the estate as she stood by their bedroom's large windows, her hand against the cool glass. The weight of what was ahead weighed heavily on her. Eleanor was unaware of what was going to happen to her. Anita was prepared to finally put an end to all that had transpired, including the manipulation and falsehoods.Behind her, Nathan was a solid and comforting presence. As she gazed out at the world moulded by those who had long kept her in the dark, his gaze never left her. Though it was obvious he was standing his ground, he asked softly, "You’re sure about this?" in a worried tone. "This is going to be… brutal." With

Thick and oppressive, the words hung in the air like smoke. Anita gazed at Nathan, her thoughts rushing as though everything had stopped. Each beat of her heart was louder than the last, and it slammed in her chest with misery. She parted her lips, but nothing came out. She wasn't sure if the magnitude of what Nathan had just spoken could be processed by her body. Her voice was scarcely heard as she muttered, "Eleanor... is my mother?" With the weight of his words bearing down on him, Nathan's eyes locked with hers. With regret in his eyes, he nodded slowly. "Anita, I didn't want to tell you this. You deserve to know, but I didn't want you to bear that weight. Everything she did was done to keep you under control. to maintain your order. Anita retreated a step, her legs shaky, as though the earth had been torn from under her. However—how? Why was I not informed?Nathan's voice was thick with the realisation of the reality he had discovered during the last few days as he

As Anita and Gregor raced through the city, the silver SUV buzzing beneath them like a coiled beast ready to strike, the outside world was soaked in darkness. With every bump on the road, the cold metal of the flash drive dug into Anita's palm as her fingers gripped it. Though her thoughts were vivid, the city lights were blurry beyond the window. She had always thought of herself as only a pawn in someone else's game, but today she was taking the board. Like a guy who had nothing left to lose, Gregor drove. "First, we'll visit the media division of Walker Holdings," he stated. "Your grandfather used to keep digital backups on the servers there in a safe place. We can upload the file if it's still there. data to all major networks at once.”With a forceful voice, Anita nodded. "No more hiding. The world ought to witness his actions.

The sirens of the ambulance blared into the darkness, yet the interior was eerily quiet. The echo of Nathan's blood was still fresh on Anita's skin as she sat rigidly next to his stretcher, her hands locked in her lap. He had whispered, "Always," and had not spoken since. He was alive, nevertheless. For now, that was enough. She watched the rise and fall of each heart as she gazed at the monitor. Her voice was raw from all of the screams she had suppressed, and her chest ached from holding back tears. Her voice was haunted by Eleanor's. "Every path ends at you." "Look for the things your father left behind." The question that had been ingrained in her was: What was Gregor concealing in that music box?Anita glanced at her phone. Two calls from Gregor himself and a dozen from Patricia were missed. She disregarded them. She needed time to ponder just now. to take a breath. to get ready for the storm that she sensed was building all around her. A group of top-tier medical
