Echoes Of The Broken Vow, Her Ultimate Ascent Chapter 33
Julian's POV: Bitter Dinners and Fractured Vows“It's like a death sentence, these envelopes, huh,” Bob says beside me. “I hate seeing one of those.” “It's worse than death,” I murmur.It's evening and we're both riding the elevator down. I heard him and Frank talking earlier about how I've been quiet since the envelope was delivered to me. “We have nothing to worry about, yes?” “Who knows?” I ask. “Who knows?”I fight back a sigh and smile. He's looking at me in the reflective panel and I hate it. Don't look at me like that Bob, I'm not dying. My daughter is. The Order’s summons is a dark cloud hanging over my head, a silent threat to everything I’ve built. Being summoned means my position has never been more precarious.Later, I arrive at home. Vivian is near the dining table, laying out plates and cutlery."Did you go out to see Lily at the hospital today?" I ask as I unbutton my shirt. She doesn't look up immediately. She lays out a silk napkin beside a plate, then stops. She

Julian's POV: The Dreaded SealSo the consensus from my security desk is simple, though infuriating: the unidentified woman who showed up at Berry’s fundraiser is the same woman who crashed my wedding.And this same woman called Papa Murphy this evening, asking for some mysterious "merchandise."The senior analysts in my security department are going out of their minds trying to decipher what it all means. The conference room is littered with voice print readouts, wiretap transcripts, and surveillance stills.Frank taps his finger on a printout of Murphy's phone logs. "We could pick this guy up right now and drag him in for questioning,” he says. “A few hours in a secure room and he’ll tell us everything she bought.""If we do that and he runs to the local authorities, they'll know we bugged his phone without a warrant," Bob counters, his oily face worn. "We are in enough legal and public relations mess as it is, Frank.""Not if we establish that this 'merchandise' is something Murph

Trinity's POV: Perceptions and PayoffsI round the first corner at a full sprint, then take a sharp right down an adjoining service hallway. I don't slow down until I'm out in the bright afternoon glare of the hospital parking lot.I'm panting. That was too close. Julian had been steps away from catching me in the act.I wave down a taxi and throw myself into the backseat. As the driver pulls into traffic, I lean over to peer out the side mirror. Far behind us, Julian has come out of the hospital. He is on the street scanning the street in both directions.I slouch deep into the seat and close my eyes. Recklessness nearly ruined everything. Never again. From this moment on, I have to be infinitely more careful. No more hospital visits when Julian is likely to be there too. And if he ever turns up while I'm there, I leave instantly.Two hours later, after a clean swap out of my disguise, I talk to Ruby, my AI assistant."Welcome back, Trinity," Ruby greets from the home automation co

Julian's POV: Bitter Medicine and Cold RevelationsAs we reach the door of Lily's private hospital room, I stop."Shit. I forgot Lily's gift," I say, glancing at Bob."I'll go grab it from the car," he replies immediately. He hurries back down the hallway.Dr. Rudolph Hess, the pediatric specialist I brought in, adjusts his gold-rimmed glasses as we stand outside the door. "As I was explaining, Alpha Julian, this experimental formula you inquired about is still in its stage of testing. I strongly advise you wait until—""Dr. Hess, I am stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea," I cut in, my voice hard. "I need an immediate solution for my daughter. I agree with you—she is not going to be anyone’s lab rat. But I need results.""Please understand what I am trying to say," Hess insists. "No reputable physician is going to stake his career on unverified, off-market compounds.""Then what the hell am I supposed to do, Doctor?" I demand. "Sit back and watch my only child die?"Hess s

Trinity's POV: A Friend of Your Mother'sNew York City buzzes with electric life. I used to love it. But I'm not here to relish the sights or pretend everything is normal.I step out of a cab, slip into a crowded diner near Midtown, and head straight for the restroom. Taking my time in front of the mirror, I carefully re-apply my mask. I smooth out the seams along my nose and jaw, and ears until the fake skin sits fresh and flawless again. It's not as great as Murphy's work, but it'll do. Satisfied with my reflection, I slip back outside. Then I take a second cab down to the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building—the main New York Public Library on 5th Avenue.I head to the reference floor, approach the Indian older woman at the desk to request access to a public terminal. She politely points me toward a long row of computer workstations. I take a seat in front of a monitor. First, I cast a quick glance around to ensure no prying eyes are watching me.Then, I go to work.I bypass the standa

Julian's POV: Phantom Dimples and Whispered Names"Yes, it can be done," Cohen says, his thumb tracing the smooth plastic edge of the card. "I'll send it to forensics. If her prints are on it—which I'm almost certain they are—we'll identify her before long."As they march down the tarmac toward the idling Cadillac, Fred hesitates. "Alpha, do you think maybe she's the Ghost Architect?"I stop in my tracks, and look at him. The thought had crossed my mind. It was this suspicion that drove me straight to the airport instead of going to her hotel. But after standing face-to-face with Nicki Barnes, I don't believe she's the mastermind we've been searching for.The Ghost Architect operates with surgical precision. Only a vengeful former ally, someone who was once allowed inside my inner circle, could systematically dismantle my empire the way he’s been doing."Nothing is impossible at this point," I say and continues walking. "It could be anyone.""The security team at the office thinks she
