His Dark Covenant Episode 98: The Signature Inside the House
The room went silent. Elena read the sentence again. THE SIGNATURE CAME FROM INSIDE THIS HOUSE. Her eyes moved toward Rebecca. “Who had access to the Cross Estate's legal archive?” Rebecca folded the paper. “That's the wrong question.” Adrian looked at her. “Then what's the right one?” “Who had access without leaving a record?” Julian's expression changed. “The trustees.” Rebecca nodded. “Not just the trustees.” She pointed toward the ceiling. “The estate's original legal office.” Elena frowned. “There's a legal office upstairs?” “There was.” Rebecca looked at the corridor behind them. “Thomas converted it into a private records room years ago.” Julian stepped forward.
His Dark Covenant Episode 97: The Woman Behind the Vale Name
The footsteps stopped.Adrian stood perfectly still.Elena felt his hand tighten around hers.Then the figure stepped into the weak yellow light.A woman in a dark coat stood at the end of the underground corridor.Her hair was streaked with silver.Her face was older than the photographs Adrian had carried in his memory, but there was no mistaking the resemblance.The same sharp eyes.The same controlled posture.The same expression Adrian had inherited whenever he was trying not to show fear.Rebecca Vale.His mother.Alive.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Then Adrian whispered,“Mother.”Rebecca looked at him.Not at Elena.Not at Julian.Only Adrian.“You grew taller than I imagined.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“That is what you say?”Rebecca's eyes softened.“What should I say?”“You were dead.”“I know.”“For twenty-six years.”“I know.”“You let me believe you were dead.”“I had to.”Adrian stepped forward.“You had to?”His voice echoed through the corridor.“You watched me gr
His Dark Covenant Episode 96: Beneath the House
“Julian.”Adrian's voice barely carried through the archive.The knocking stopped.For several seconds, there was nothing.Then came a weak cough from beneath the floor.“Adrian?”Adrian turned toward the others.“There's someone underneath us.”Mara was already examining the architectural plans on her laptop.“This house doesn't have a basement beneath this section.”Miriam shook her head.“It does.”Mara looked at her.“Where?”Miriam pointed toward the back wall.“The old service passage.”Claire's eyes widened.“Thomas sealed it.”“He thought he did.”Adrian moved toward the wall.“Show me.”Miriam approached an old wooden cabinet and ran her fingers along its side.“There.”She pressed beneath the bottom shelf.A faint click sounded.The cabinet shifted.
His Dark Covenant Episode 95: The Voice of the Dead
“Hello, Elena.”The voice came from somewhere inside the darkness.Claire screamed.Gabriel immediately reached for the nearest wall.Adrian pulled Elena behind him.“Who's there?”No answer.Then the voice came again.“Don't be afraid.”Elena stopped breathing.She knew that voice.Not from recordings.Not from memories reconstructed through old documents.From childhood.From the nights when she had been afraid of thunderstorms and someone had sat beside her bed until she fell asleep.Her father.Daniel.“Dad?”The room remained dark.Mara's hands moved frantically over her laptop.“It's coming through the archive speakers.”Adrian looked toward her.“Can you shut it down?”“I'm trying.”Daniel's voice continued.“Elena, if you're hearing this, then the archiv
His Dark Covenant Episode 94: Your Father’s Last Confession
For several seconds, nobody moved.Victor Saye stood at the far end of the archive, his face half-hidden beneath the emergency lighting.Elena stared at him.“You're alive.”Victor gave a tired smile.“So is Miriam.”Miriam stepped forward.“You shouldn't be here.”“Neither should you.”“You tried to destroy the archive.”“No.”Victor looked at the shelves around them.“I tried to stop Thomas from getting it.”Adrian moved between Victor and Elena.“You expect us to believe that?”“No.”Victor's answer was immediate.“I expect you to verify everything.”Elena looked at the black envelope.“Then why are you telling me not to open it?”Victor's expression changed.“Because Daniel knew what would happen after you read it.”“What?”“You would stop looking for the person responsible.”
His Dark Covenant Episode 93: The Woman at the Gate
Every door in the estate unlocked at once.A succession of metallic clicks echoed through the corridors.Elena froze.Adrian immediately moved in front of her.“Stay behind me.”Mara stared at her monitors.“I didn't do that.”“I know.”“The entire security system has been overridden.”Gabriel rushed toward the main corridor.“Then we lock the doors manually.”“No,” Mara said. “They're already being controlled remotely.”Samuel looked toward the entrance.“Then whoever did this wants us inside.”Elena's eyes remained fixed on the security monitor.The woman was still standing outside the gate.Miriam Cross.Or at least someone claiming to be her.Claire could barely breathe.“She said she remembers what I did.”Lydia turned toward her.“What did you do?”Claire shook her head.“I don't know.”“You signed the transfer.”“I know.”“You said you couldn't remember.”“I can't.”Elena stepped between them.“Stop.”Everyone went quiet.“If that woman really is Miriam, we're not going to wast
