ADRIAN POV

“They know sir.”

The words cut through the quiet of my office. I did not look up immediately. I finished signing the document in front of me, capped the pen, and set it aside with practiced calm.

“Who knows,” I asked calmly, “and what do they know?” There was a brief pause on the line. I could hear breathing. Timid but slightly controlled.

“Two auditors,” the voice said. “They took up the case tonight. The girl came in a few hours ago. She was… shaking. Paranoid.”

Interesting, I th

    I was watching her before she even stepped into the building. Camera three caught the taxi slowing by the curb. Camera four caught the door opening. Camera six caught her stepping out. She paused for half a second before finally entering the building. The building had that effect. Tall glass. Cold steel. No warmth. It was designed to make people feel small before they even reached the elevator. She adjusted her bag on her shoulder and walked in anyway. No hesitation. Interesting. I leaned back in my chair and watched the screens. My office was quiet. Too quiet. No assistants. No guards inside. Just me and the low hum of the monitors. She passed through security without issue. I had made sure of that. No alarms. No interruptions. I wanted her calm. Calm people revealed more. The elevator camera caught her reflection. Her jaw was tight. Her eyes were focused straight ahead. She held herself like someone walking into danger but refusing to acknowledge it. Not brave. Controlled

    ADRIAN pov:“Dispose of him quietly.” I ordered, leaving them behind as I made my way back into the van. “Yes, sir.” They're voice responded in a sharp sync, as they carried his half-breathing body, into the back.The city blurred past the windows as we drove back in silence. No talk. Just focus. Jenny had vanished, yes, but chaos hadn’t followed yet. That’s what matters.The meeting place sat hidden in plain sight. An old private club that had gone bankrupt years ago, with it's name stripped from the records. But what no one knew was that behind those bars was a fingerprint lock and a steel door. Where the real room waited there.They were already there when I arrived. Three of them. The only men I trusted enough to sit across from. Men who have bled with me, laughed with me, buried problems with me. Business partners and friends, depending on the night.“Adrian,” Luca said first, slowly lifting his glass, his voice giving away the fact that he was completely under the influence of

Paranoid.”Interesting, I thought to myself. “What did she report?” “From what I overheard sir. Redwell Biotech was mentioned.” That… got my attention.I leaned back in my chair slowly. Redwell was a name that did not surface unless someone had already stepped too close into actually finding out something.“Who is ‘she’?” I asked. “And who exactly is handling the case?”“She’s the sister to the man who died at the warehouse yesterday, sir,” the insider said. “She knows a lot sir. T-too much, she wasn’t guessing at all.”

    Jenny's pov The next morning came within the blink of an eye, my head was still really heavy. Weighing me with memories from last night. Replaying. The alley. Daniel’s last words, and Adrian’s cold voice over the phone. The thudding in my chest gradually began beating unevenly, as each memory graced through my mind in a brutal pictorial remembrance. I moved through my apartment out of habit. Taking a quick bath. Although, the warmth of the water splashing gently against my skin did very little in terms of easing my nerves. I closed my eyes, letting the water soak through my hair. Feeling the coolness it offered as it graced down my scalp. But regardless, the memories kept replaying in an endless loop. I could still smell the scent of his blood mixed with the thickness of the air of that alley. I immediately shook my head, attempting to pull myself out of my own mind. “You’ve handled worse,” I muttered to myself, in a low voice. “You’re Jenny Havan. You dont back down. Yo

  • His Rules, Her Ruin   Blood in the Alley

    I lifted my head slowly, my hands still slick with Daniel's blood, my breath caught halfway in my chest. Polished shoes stopped a few feet from us.They were expensive. Immaculate. Completely out of place in the filth of this alley.My gaze carefully traveled upward. To tailored trousers. A dark coat and a hand hanging loosely at his side. The gun was almost casual in his grip. My breathing hitched unevenly.I followed the line of his arm, forcing myself to look up, even as every instinct screamed at me not to. That was when I saw his face.... Calm, controlled. Adrian Red.I knew who he was. Everyone in the city knew the Redwell Biotech logo; it was on every hospital, every pharmacy, every government health directive. He was the man who kept the city alive... and apparently, he was also the man who'd decide on who lives or not.His cold stern gaze moved from Daniel's body to me. A flicker of recognition sparked in his eyes... not the way a stranger looks at a face, but the way a coll

    I woke to the soft glow of the morning sun filtering through the blinds. For a moment, I forgot all that's happened, thought it to be a normal morning, until I heard the quiet sniffle from the living room.I pushed myself up, muscles aching, and crept toward mamá. She was sitting on the couch, eyes red, the muted television flickering the news across her face. My chest tightened."Mamá..." I whispered, kneeling beside her. She didn't look at me at first, just shook her head, quiet tears slipping down her cheeks.I wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. Her body was small and trembling against mine. "It's going to be okay," I murmured, though I wasn't sure I believed it.She clutched my arm. "Jenny... he's gone. My Miguel..."I pressed my forehead to hers. "I know, mamá. I know. But I'm here. We're together. We'll get through this."She nodded against me, a small shudder running through her, and for a moment, it felt like maybe we could survive the weight of the world together.
