Chloe’s car had arrived directly behind theirs, but nobody cared anymore at all. The cameras refused to shift properly toward her because Clara and Jeffery had already swallowed the entire atmosphere completely. Even her arrival felt like it existed in the background of someone else’s moment.

Chloe removed her sunglasses slowly after stepping out of the vehicle while watching reporters ignore them almost completely. Her lips tightened instantly as she realized no amount of presence was enough t

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 133: Welcome to the New World, Strong Ivy

    Clara had been moved from the operating room to a private bed on the same floor. The machines came with her beeping steadily, breathing for her, watching every small sign of life. The small team that had stood through all seven hours of surgery now stood quietly around the edges of the room, tired and silent.The doctor stood at the foot of the bed, his shoulders heavy. Jeffery stood near the door, hands inside his pockets, watching everything with that same calm face he had worn since they arrived."The injection, sir," the doctor said. His voice was low and careful. "We are in a position where both options carry serious consequences, and I need you to understand that before we decide anything."He looked directly at Jeffery."If we give it to her now, it will wipe her memory the way you want. But her body has just been through seven hours of surgery. Her brain is under more stress than it has ever been in her life. Giving her the agent right now means the chances of her surviving i

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 132: If She dies, We all Die

    Logan hit the accelerator the moment the car doors closed. The city blurred past the windows. Traffic tried to slow them down but Logan went around it anyway, cutting through small gaps, pushing the engine harder than it was meant to go. The tires screeched at every turn.Jeffery sat in the back with Clara across his lap. His hand pressed hard against her wounds, trying to hold the blood in. The peach dress was soaked through. She was barely breathing. He checked his watch. Looked at the road ahead. Checked his watch again."Faster," he said."Sir I am already..""If you cannot drive faster then stop the car and let me drive."Logan drove faster.The hospital entrance was ready when they arrived. Two nurses stood outside with a stretcher. The doors were propped open. The path had already been cleared.The car stopped hard. Jeffery kicked the door open before Logan could turn off the engine. He lifted Clara himself, both arms under her, and placed her on the stretcher in one smooth mo

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 131: The Anniversary

    The peach dress lay waiting on the bed. Full length, long sleeves, high neck. The kind of dress that hid everything. She stared at it for a long moment, her stomach already knotted tight. She didn't touch it. Today was the day. The whole city would be watching her stand beside Jeffery like the perfect wife while Eclipse Breed hunted her head for half a billion dollars.She walked to the window instead.The door opened behind her.Jeffery stood there, already dressed in a sharp suit. His eyes went to the dress, then to her."Put it on," he said."It covers everything. I can't wear it," Clara replied, still facing the window."Put it on, Clara."She turned slowly. For a second she thought about fighting him again, but the memory of his hands on her last night still burned."They want your head. If they cannot get that, they might start with your legs. Even if you lose one today, it should stay hidden under expensive fabric."Clara held his stare, then picked up the dress. The fabric fe

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 130: Dead Men

    The car sat two blocks from a quiet restaurant, engine off, windows fogged from the cool evening air. A man had been waiting in the driver's seat for twenty minutes when Adrian finally climbed in. No greetings, no small talk. Just the comfortable silence of two men who had buried enough secrets together to skip the unnecessary words.The man spoke first, keeping his voice low."Since you're back in the city, sir, Malcolm's been asking about Daniel. Keeps wanting to know when his reliable shadow is coming back to work."Adrian stared straight ahead through the windshield, watching the empty street. Daniel. That name had wrapped around him for years like a second skin he couldn't quite peel off. The quiet, dependable employee who showed up on time, filed his reports without complaint, and blended into the furniture at Rothwell Enterprises. Working under Malcolm as Daniel had given him keys to rooms no outsider could have entered-late-night conversations, hidden files, movements that pow

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 129: I Chose You: Predator's Game

    The 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

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 128: Bring Me That Head

    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

    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

Fresh tears welled up in her eyes almost instantly, blurring her vision as a wave of overwhelming vulnerability crashed

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 122: The Signal He Was Waiting For

    Jeffery checked three rooms before he accepted that Clara was not going to be found by checking rooms.The sitting room. The east corridor. The kitchen. The mansion felt occupied the way it always did even when it was quiet, and Clara had a way of leaving small evidence of herself in spaces she ha

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 121: The Birthmark: Wrong man, Wrong Mission

    Jeffery read it once. Then again. Not because he had not understood it the first time but because his mind was doing the work of tracing it backward from the headline to the source, following the thread from where it had landed to where it must have started, and every direction that thread pointed
