LOGINThe knock hit the door like a fist that had already decided it was coming through regardless.Clara sat up in the dark.She had not been sleeping. She had been lying with her eyes open listening to a quiet house and a loud head, and the knock pulled her upright before she had finished deciding to move. She crossed to the door and opened it.Jeffery stood in the corridor.Smoke on his clothes. Eyes that had not softened from whatever the night had asked of them. A smirk sitting on his mouth that had nothing warm behind it.He walked past her into the room.She turned to face him."I just got back from your organization," he said. He closed the door. "Safe houses...All gone." He looked at her the way he looked at things he had already finished thinking about. "The best part is they did not need me to point the finger. They looked at everything and landed on you. Their own girl chose her husband over the mission. Sold them out."Clara's mouth opened."What?" The word came out before sh
The jet’s roar had long faded into the night sky by the time the first survivors began creeping out from their hiding spots. The Eclipse Breed building smelled like death, gunpowder, piss, and copper thick enough to choke on. Walls that once echoed with orders now dripped red. Broken glass crunched under hesitant footsteps as the remaining women emerged, faces pale, eyes wild with the kind of shock that doesn’t wear off easy.In the upper room, the leader sat slumped against the table, breathing like a wounded animal. Her mangled hand throbbed with every heartbeat, three fingers gone, the stumps raw and pulsing. She grabbed a dirty scarf from the floor with her good hand, teeth clenched so hard her jaw ached, and wrapped it tight around the mess. Blood soaked through instantly, warm and sticky, but she didn’t flinch. Pain was nothing compared to the fire ripping through her chest.Rage consumed her. It wasn’t just anger. It was a white-hot fury that made her vision tunnel and her m
ECLIPSE BREED ORGANIZATIONThe leader at the front had been speaking for what felt like forever, her words cutting through the thick air like a slow knife. The room was packed tight, every eye locked on her with that heavy kind of focus you only get when you know one wrong move could end you. These weren't just meetings. They were blood oaths whispered in the dark."You've all been slacking lately, not just the new ones. All of you. This life doesn't give a damn about if you kill or get killed.She let her gaze drag across every face. "Tomorrow we run the selection. Rules are different this time. You can kill each other if that's what it takes to come out on top. Last two standing get the real assignment. Fail it... well, you won't have to worry about coming back because you are dropping dead there."A heavy silence dropped over the room. No gasps. No whispers. Just the kind of quiet that comes when people are already thinking on their own survival.Some of the girls started drifting
Jeffery stood right at the bedroom entrance for a long moment. He did not walk away after he closed the door behind him. A new idea suddenly came into his head and he turned back around without thinking twice.He stepped into the bedroom again with slow steps. Clara's face lightened up the moment she saw him return through the door. Her eyes softened right away and something close to relief washed over her dripping body.He moved closer and unlocked the chains from her wrists first. Then he freed her legs and picked up a light robe from the couch beside the bed before dropping it gently on her. Clara pulled the robe around her body and sat up slowly on the mattress.Her hair stayed messy all over her face and she made no move to fix it with her hands. She moved off the bed with very careful steps like someone whose body had gone through something completely new and deep. The ache between her legs reminded her with every small movement that this time Jeffery had really been inside he
Chapter 129: Left Wet and Furious Her body jerked violently against the unyielding metal restraints, wrists pulling hard until the chains rattled with a cold, unforgiving sound. Fresh tears welled up in her eyes almost instantly, blurring her vision as a wave of overwhelming vulnerability crashed over her. She hadn't expected it to hit this hard, this fast.Jeffery watched her the entire time, his intense gaze never once leaving her face. He remained completely silent, observing every twitch of her muscles, every flutter of her eyelids, like a predator studying its prey. The silence inside the room grew heavier with each passing second, thick and suffocating, pressing down on her chest until every breath felt like a struggle.The pain came first, sharp, searing, and brutally real. It started as a sudden sting deep inside her and slowly bloomed outward, spreading through her core like liquid fire that refused to be ignored. Clara bit down on her lip, trying to stifle the sound risin
Jeffery had barely reached the elevator entrance when his phone vibrated inside his pocket. He glanced at the screen and immediately saw Mei’s name staring back at him. His expression hardened slightly before he answered the call and placed the phone against his ear.“Such a cold gesture. Not even a hello.” Mei’s voice drifted through the line smoothly. “I was beginning to think we had become close after our last conversation. Turns out we have not. Anyway, I called because i noticed you just placed an order through one of my stores. Since the anniversary is coming in a few days, I thought I should personally deliver it and use the opportunity to check on my dear friend.”Jeffery stepped into the elevator slowly while listening to her. “Stop pretending, we both know you are not Clara’s friend.” His tone remained flat, but there was already irritation sitting beneath the words. A soft laugh escaped Mei. “I guess I should stop pretending then.” She paused briefly before continuing. “Th
The space between them felt smaller because of how familiar his silence had become.“Don’t even think about it,” Clara said quickly, pointing at him like she was issuing a warning. Her voice carried that mix of awareness that he always managed to trigger in her. “If you come near me, I will jump o
“I knew it!” she shouted happily. “This trip is officially blessed now.”Clara laughed softly while shaking her head.“You’re too dramatic.”Mei replied proudly. "That is why you have been too addicted to me."Clara smiled this time instead of denying it.“Send the details later,” she said.“Alread
“Abandoning it completely will create even larger losses.”“You’re only protecting your own investment.” “And you’re only trying to save yours.”The meeting slowly descended into arguments from different sides. Then Clara suddenly stood up.The room gradually became quieter as attention shifted to
The warning systems started beeping before anyone properly understood what was happening.
