THEY WANT TO DESTROY HIM PUBLICLY

The warehouse felt smaller after the news vans appeared outside.

Not physically.

Psychologically.

Like the walls around us had suddenly become transparent while cameras and reporters waited beyond the gates, ready to consume whatever happened next and feed it to the entire country before sunrise.

Rain continued pouring outside, but now flashing media lights cut through the darkness beyond the compound walls, flickering across the security monitors like warning

    Damian Hart’s FatherThe entire dock seemed to fall silent the moment the older man spoke, because even beneath the storm, beneath the shouting medics and flashing emergency lights reflecting across the rain-soaked concrete, the authority in his voice carried the kind of weight that made people obey first and question later.“Get my son into surgery now.”The medical team moved immediately afterward.No hesitation.No confusion.Several trauma surgeons rushed forward from the line of black vehicles parked near the dock while security closed tightly around the emergency stretchers, shielding Damian from the freezing rain as they pushed him toward the waiting convoy.But I could barely process any of it because my attention remained fixed completely on the man standing near the edge of the dock.My son.Not nephew.Not Damian Hart.Son.The realization hit me slowly through the exhaustion and shock still clouding my mind from the river because until now, Damian had never once mentioned

    The Man On The DockThe rescue boats reached us seconds later, though by then I could barely feel my hands anymore from the freezing river water wrapped around us like ice. The storm still battered the surface violently while emergency lights from the Brooklyn dock cut through the darkness ahead, turning the rain into streaks of white against the black river.“Pull them in.”Several voices shouted across the water while rescue workers leaned dangerously over the sides of the inflatable crafts reaching toward us with harness lines and thermal blankets.Lucien grabbed the nearest rope first before helping shove Ava toward the rescue team while the guards secured the remaining flotation packs behind us, but I barely processed any of it because all my attention stayed fixed entirely on Damian.He was still conscious.Barely.His head rested weakly against my shoulder while freezing water dragged heavily against both of us, and every breath leaving him sounded thinner now than the one befo

    He Came Back UpFor one impossible second, the storm itself seemed to pause the moment Damian surfaced through the freezing black water several feet away from us.Relief hit so violently that it physically hurt.“Damian.”The name tore from my throat before another wave crashed between us hard enough to blur everything again beneath freezing spray and darkness.He was alive.Barely.Even from a distance I could immediately see something was wrong because Damian resurfaced unevenly, one arm dragging weakly through the current while the other fought to keep him above water against the violent pull of the river. Blood still spread faintly across the water around him despite the storm trying to wash it away, and every instinct inside me screamed the same terrifying truth.He was reaching his limit.Lucien saw it too.“Move.”The sharpness in his voice cut through the storm instantly while he started forcing us toward Damian through the current.The river fought violently against every mo

    The River Took HimThe moment the deck collapsed beneath us, the world disappeared into freezing black water.The impact stole every bit of air from my lungs as the river swallowed me instantly, dragging me violently beneath the surface while twisted debris from the sinking vessel crashed through the current around us. For one terrifying second, I could not tell which direction was up because the storm above and the river below had become one endless chaos of darkness, freezing pressure, and roaring sound.Cold exploded through my body so sharply it felt like knives driving into my chest.The current pulled hard.Too hard.Somewhere nearby metal groaned beneath the water as the transport ship continued sinking behind us, dragging waves and debris violently into its wake.I forced my eyes open underwater despite the burning pain instantly tearing through them, panic crashing through me the moment I realized I could not see Damian anywhere.No.My body jerked violently against the evacu

    The River Swallowed The BoatThe outer deck had become almost impossible to stand on by the time we forced our way outside, because the storm crashing across the river no longer felt like ordinary rain and wind. It felt violent. Alive. Waves slammed against the sinking vessel hard enough to send freezing water exploding over the railings while the broken remains of the boat groaned beneath our feet like something slowly being torn apart from the inside.The skyline of Brooklyn flickered faintly through the darkness ahead, close enough to feel cruel.Close enough to survive if circumstances were different.But nothing about tonight had been merciful.The second the freezing rain hit my face, my entire body tensed violently from the cold while Lucien’s guards struggled to secure the evacuation lines against the current. Somewhere behind us, the rear half of the transport vessel dipped sharply lower into the river, dragging part of the outer deck down with it while twisted metal screeche

    The Hull Finally BrokeThe sound that came from beneath the boat after the guard shouted about the hull did not even resemble metal anymore. It sounded deeper. Worse. Like the entire structure of the vessel had finally given up fighting against the storm and the damage tearing through it from every direction, and the moment the floor beneath us shifted violently sideways, several people lost balance at once while freezing river water surged aggressively into the cabin hard enough to slam medical equipment against the walls.“The boat is splitting.”Lucien grabbed the nearest support rail immediately while shouting toward the remaining guards over the alarms screaming through the vessel.“Move. Now.”Panic exploded through the cabin after that because suddenly the sinking no longer felt gradual. The transport boat was going down fast now, dragged lower into the black river while violent waves crashed over the outer deck hard enough to shake the entire structure.One of the medics nearl
