Chapter 23: Proof of Love

The days after the road trip blurred into a relentless cycle of performances and fear.

The latest dose had pushed the link to a terrifying new level. I could now feel not only Callan’s physical sensations and emotions, but fragments of his thoughts quick flashes of his worry about my health, his growing love, and the cold calculation of how to destroy the syndicate before it destroyed us.

    Chapter 112: System FailureThe warehouse was cold and dark, the air thick with the smell of rust and fear.Callan and I were tied to chairs side by side, our hands barely brushing in the dim light. The syndicate leader stood in front of us, smiling that cold, calculating smile I had come to hate.“You offered yourselves for each other,” he said. “How touching. The syndicate appreciates loyalty. But you broke the rules. You gathered evidence. You tried to turn on us. Now you pay the price.”The men around us prepared the next dose. Double. Triple. Enough to push the link to its absolute limit before it destroyed us completely.Callan’s voice was steady. “You don’t have to do this. We can make a deal.”The leader laughed. “The deal is simple. You take the dose. You perform for us one last time. Then you disappear. The world will think you ran away from the scandal. We keep the empire.”They injected us at the same ti

    Chapter 111: Self-SacrificeThe emptiness where the link used to be was worse than any pain the drugs had ever caused.I sat on the floor of the apartment, staring at the last message from the syndicate.*Your captain is in our hands now. He tried to make a deal. He will pay for it. Stay quiet or we release the footage of him offering himself up.*Callan had gone to the league officials. He had offered himself up in exchange for my safety. He had tried to take all the blame, all the punishment, to protect me.And the syndicate had him.Tate and Beck were on their way. Elodie was working every contact she had. Merrick was reaching out to anyone who might help. But right now, I was alone with the silence where Callan used to be.The door opened. Tate and Beck rushed in.Tate took one look at me on the floor and pulled me up. “What happened?”“Callan’s gone,” I said, voice breaking. “He met with

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Empty Bed

    Chapter 110: Empty BedThe final night had been everything and nothing at the same time.We had spent it wrapped in each other, no cameras, no orders, no syndicate watching. Just us. Callan’s hands on my skin. His voice in my ear. The fading link carrying the last echoes of his love and fear. We had made love slowly, desperately, like it might be the last time. We had talked about the future we wanted after the war. A life without the syndicate. A life where we could just be Brooks and Callan.But when I woke up the next morning, the bed beside me was empty.Callan was gone.The apartment was silent. No note. No message. The link, almost gone now, carried only a faint echo of his determination mixed with deep sorrow.I sat up, heart hammering. “Callan?”No answer.I checked the bathroom. The kitchen. The living room. Nothing. His phone was gone. His wallet was gone. The clothes he had worn the night before were

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Final Night

    Chapter 109: Final NightThe league awards had been a spectacle, but the real storm was only beginning.We had stood on that stage and told the world we were together. The crowd had cheered. The cameras had flashed. The syndicate had watched every second. But as we left the venue hand in hand, the encrypted phone in my pocket buzzed with their final message of the night.*Perfect performance. The world believes the lie. But we know the truth. The evidence you’re gathering. The team helping you. The coming-out was just the beginning. The real war starts now.*Callan read it in the car on the way back to the apartment. His grip on my hand tightened, the fading link carrying his rage and his determination.“They know,” he said quietly. “They’re coming for us hard now.”The apartment felt like a cage when we walked in. The syndicate had forced us to live together, and now it felt like the walls were closing in. We had one night

    Chapter 108: Smoking GunThe recording from my father’s unexpected visit sat on Elodie’s secure laptop like a loaded gun.We had gathered in a safe location — a small, nondescript office Elodie had arranged through her contacts. Tate, Beck, Merrick, and Maren were there too. The team was fully in now, and the weight of their presence made the moment feel both terrifying and hopeful.Elodie played the recording for everyone.My father’s voice filled the room, cold and matter-of-fact.*Love is weakness. I gave you the talent. The drive. The syndicate gave you the structure. You should be thanking me.**You built the app. You created the drugs. You’ve been exploiting players for years.*The admissions kept coming. The exploitation. The plan to use us for long-term control. The way he had groomed the entire system.When the recording ended, the room was silent.Tate swore under his breath. “That’s it. That’

    Chapter 107: Unexpected VisitThe recording of my father’s confession burned a hole in my pocket the entire drive back to the apartment. Elodie had it now, copied and secured, but the words still echoed in my head.*Love is weakness. I gave you the talent. The drive. The syndicate gave you the structure.*Callan drove in silence, one hand on the wheel, the other occasionally reaching over to rest on my thigh. The link, though fading, still carried faint echoes of his pride in me for facing my father and his rage at the man who had used me my entire life.“You did it,” Callan said as we pulled into the parking garage. “You got the admission. That’s the smoking gun.”I nodded, but my hands were still shaking. “He looked at me like I was nothing. Just another asset. His own son.”Callan parked and pulled me into his arms across the console. “You’re not nothing. You’re everything. To me. To the team. To the people who actually l
