Ethan listened to Liam's rambling account of Vanessa's habits and connections, but his skepticism was growing with every word. This felt too convenient. Too easy. Liam showing up right after being humiliated at the hospital, suddenly pointing fingers at his girlfriend.

"This is all very interesting," Ethan interrupted. "But you have not given me anything concrete. Just your suspicions and interpretations of conversations. That is not proof."

"I know that," Liam said. His frustration was evident. "But I am telling you, Vanessa is capable of this. The way she talks about people she considers beneath her, the contempt in her voice when she mentions Cora, it is not normal."

"Plenty of people are contemptuous," Ethan replied. "That does not make them attempted murderers."

"But Vanessa has connections," Liam insisted. "Real connections to people who could make something like this happen."

"What kind of connections?"

Liam hesitated. Looked around the café like he was worried someone might ov

  • Meet My Overprotective Brothers    False Hope

    The breakthrough came on day six. Ryan's specialized team reported they had tracked digital communications to a location thirty miles outside the city. An abandoned industrial complex that had been purchased two months ago by a shell company."This is it," one of the operatives said over encrypted phone. "Multiple heat signatures inside. Recent vehicle activity. Security measures that are way too sophisticated for an abandoned building."Ryan gathered his brothers immediately. "We have a location. High confidence. My team wants to move tonight.""What about law enforcement?" Ethan asked. "Should we bring in FBI for the extraction?""And risk the kidnappers getting spooked and killing Cora?" Ryan replied. "No. My team goes in quietly. Confirms she is there. Then we decide next steps."Alexander insisted on being part of the planning despite Caleb's objections. "She is my daughter. I am not sitting this out."They spent hours preparing. Reviewing building layouts. Planning entry points.

    Ryan waited until they were in his private office before saying anything. Made sure the door was closed. Made sure no staff were nearby. Even checked his phone to confirm it was not recording."I need to tell you both something," Ryan said. He looked at Ethan and Caleb. "But this stays between us. No one else can know. Not staff. Not security. Not even Father.""What is it?" Ethan asked."I hired a specialized team," Ryan explained. "Very specialized. People who operate outside normal channels. Who use methods that are not exactly legal.""How illegal?" Caleb demanded."Very," Ryan admitted. "These are former intelligence operatives. People who worked in espionage. Counterterrorism. Black ops. They do not follow rules. They do not worry about warrants or proper procedures. They just get results.""You hired mercenaries," Ethan said flatly."I hired people who can find Cora when everyone else has failed," Ryan corrected. "The FBI has protocols. Private security has limitations. These p

  • Meet My Overprotective Brothers    Media Circus

    The interview requests started within hours of the abduction going public. Every major news network. Cable channels. Morning shows. Evening programs. Everyone wanted Alexander Sterling to appear. To talk about his daughter's kidnapping. To plead for her safe return on camera.Ethan's phone had not stopped ringing since noon. Producers. Journalists. Public relations firms offering to manage the family's media response. Everyone wanting a piece of the Sterling family tragedy."Mr. Sterling, this is Sandra from Channel Seven News," one voicemail said. "We would love to have your father on our evening broadcast to discuss the kidnapping. Our viewers are very concerned and—"Ethan deleted it. Moved to the next one."This is Robert from Good Morning America. We understand this is a difficult time but we think your father's story could really help generate leads. Public awareness is crucial in cases like—"Delete."Mr. Sterling, this is the producer for Dateline. We are planning a special ep

  • Meet My Overprotective Brothers    Always Ahead

    The first break came three hours after the abduction. A traffic camera on the outskirts of the city had captured one of the vans heading east on Highway 47. Clear image. Timestamp. Direction of travel."We have something!" one of Ryan's tech specialists shouted. "Van heading east at eleven forty-two AM. Approximately thirty minutes after the abduction."Ryan was at the screen immediately. "Can we track it further? See where it went?""Working on it," the specialist replied. Fingers flying across keyboards. Pulling up more camera feeds. More intersections. More potential sightings.They found the van again twelve miles down the highway. Then again at a gas station. Then turning onto a rural road with no cameras."Damn it," Ryan muttered. "Where did they go after that turn?""Satellite imagery," another specialist suggested. "If we can access real-time satellite feeds, we might be able to track them even without ground cameras.""Do it," Ryan ordered. "Pull whatever strings you need to

    The news broke within an hour. Sterling Heiress Abducted in Broad Daylight. Cora Sterling Kidnapped in Coordinated Attack. Sterling Family Under Siege Again.Every news outlet picked it up. Television. Radio. Social media. The story spread like wildfire consuming dry brush.Details emerged quickly. Eyewitnesses at the intersection. Traffic camera footage showing the vans boxing in the limousine. The masked men. The weapons. Cora being dragged away while her father watched helplessly.The Sterling family tried to control the narrative but it was impossible. Too many people had seen it happen. Too much footage existed. Within two hours, the abduction video was everywhere.Ryan stood in the estate's security command center watching the footage play on repeat. Trying to find something. Anything. A license plate. A distinguishing mark. Some clue about who these people were.Nothing. The vans were stolen. Reported missing three days ago from a rental lot across town. The plates were fake. T

    Two weeks after waking from her coma, Cora stood in front of her bedroom mirror adjusting her blazer. She looked thinner than before the accident. Paler. But alive. Determined."You do not have to do this yet," Caleb said from the doorway. He had been hovering since she regained consciousness. "Another week of rest would not hurt.""I have rested for two weeks," Cora replied. "I am ready to work. Ready to do something productive instead of sitting around going crazy.""The company will survive without you," Caleb pressed."But I will not survive another week of bed rest," Cora countered. "I need this, Caleb. I need to feel normal again."Her recovery had been remarkable. Faster than anyone expected. Within days of waking, she was walking. Within a week, she was doing physical therapy. Within two weeks, she was essentially back to her pre-accident self.The doctors called it miraculous. Caleb called it stubborn determination.She still did not remember the accident.
