2026-02-27 03:00:30Leon…it’s Friday…don’t you have better things to do with your time today? I mused.
My phone vibrated – my regular one. I pulled it out. Is he tapping my brain too? I pondered distractedly.
I picked up.
I didn’t speak.
There was a sigh. “Is this how you give me a chance, Jade?”
“I’m busy, Leon.”
“I know. You’ve always been a hard worker, Jade. Your attention to detail and your work ethic are hard to find,” he murmured in a tone that s

Then I remembered that I was sending something very useful for my watchers. My grip relaxed.“That’s fine. We have other channels.”“Sir. There’s been an incident.”I closed my eyes. “What now?” I growled, my voice low as I turned my back to my brother.“A shipment was intercepted at sea, Sir. A random check. Everything has been confiscated by the authorities.”It took all my self-control not to split the fucking table with a decisive punch. The wood was slim enough.I hunched my shoulders, lowering my head. “When?”“All communications were blocked, Sir. It’s our people at the port who shared the news five minutes ago. The actual incident could have occurred as much as three hours beforehand.”“Ten a.m.”“Yes, Sir.”“Shit,” I breathed. “Anything else?”“No, Sir.”“Vega. Get back here. Let someone else handle Florida.”“Yes, Sir.”I hung up. Inhaled deeply, then turned to my Trojan horse

Lee raised a brow.Heads turned, but I was far from caring. The ember was smoking, and I would be damned if I didn’t get at least a small flame going.I was tired of getting the run around from someone who was supposed to support me. Tired of managing every word of every sentence every time we conversed.Even Jayden’s assistant spoke to him with more ease and freedom than I did with my own blood brother.In a few minutes, I would embark on a journey, on a path where I would break rules I had spent my life bending over backwards and twisting myself into knots, to follow. Everything in Jayden’s eyes yesterday told me as much.I wanted that to be a good thing, not a nightmare.I was tired of my fear, of my doubts. They were strangling me.I was twenty-one. Wealthy and single. I’d been single my entire life. Afraid of what my father wanted. Afraid to disappoint him. To be judged by him. To be reduced to a harsh statement, as my brother wa

“Do you have a time for the airport? I’ve been asked to arrange a car for you.”“That won’t be necessary. I can find my way.”“I’m under instruction, Sir. Please, what time shall I have a car available and from what location?”I stared at him.I saw Jayden’s face in the car from yesterday evening. I heard his words replay.‘Reece is discreet. He knows how to handle my extracurricular activities…’Maybe he has something planned, I considered as I watched the rigid assistant.“Can I let you know later in the day?”He glanced at his watch. I could have sworn he sighed.“It’s 8 o’clock, Sir. How late are you considering –”“I think you’ve been quite presumptuous enough for one day, Mr. Sharden, or would you like me to give a detailed report to your employer about your tone with mine? I have your number. You will be contacted. If that is all, you may leave.”I stood and turned.Reece had

I hit play at ten p.m. mark, listening carefully as I sipped my coffee at 6 a.m., speeding through the silent parts.At the end of it, after the conversation between the brothers, I sat back, staring at the wall. I couldn’t get used to how human Leon sounded when talking with the kid.He had not been putting up a show for my benefit, the times I had witnessed their interaction. He sounded so warm.I despised his tone.It didn’t belong to a man who did what he did to me, years ago, nor to a man who sold human beings to other human beings.It was disgusting.What had stayed with me most, though, was the conversation between Adrian and Liam. They definitely had something between them. It could lead to complications for me, if not handled properly.A whole new avenue of possibilities was rising, but I ignored it. So far, I was on the man’s good side, or neutral side. I had to keep that balance for the moment.I wasn’t trying to hur

Adrian turned the color of fresh tomatoes, and I turned away.The scent of his cologne had filled my car, and something was rising behind it. A heat that went beyond the skin. The kind only a nose would pick up.Pheromones.I was starting to get distracted.“I… I thank you,” he breathed.“No need. Stick it in your wallet, don’t leave it behind,” I tossed back as I eyed the lines of his father’s mansion.I turned back to him. “Catch you later?”He smiled and opened the door a crack. I wasn’t sure which of us was more eager for his escape.“Yeah,” he said hoarsely and slid out.That card was solid black. No inscription on it. It was for transactions, indeed. But it was also a receiver and a remote hacking device.In his pocket, his wallet, as long as any electrical device was within twenty feet of it, my sister could connect to it and open a backdoor in its system.Marcus shifted in his sleep, and I raised my

I jerked forward as a powerful force tugged on my raised arm. I glanced up into steady, deep blue eyes. Eyes I had known for most of my life. Eyes that even in this moment held no judgment of me.Liam was holding me by the wrist, gazing evenly at me. “Try that again,” he said calmly, “with him.” That small smile of his flashed, and he swept out of the room as I gaped at his back, then the closed door.I sank to the floor, resting against the couch. I wasn’t sure whether I felt better or worse.My phone rang, and I moved to it slowly. I sat on my bed, accepting the call without looking.“Hello?”Silence.“Hello?” I said again, firmer.“What’s wrong?”My eyes filled.==========Leon’s POV.Adrian’s personal driver had gone into the mansion, then left forty minutes later, without my brother and without the car.Unnatural movement.With the current atmosphere, I couldn’t let it slide.I was

I had waited for him, gone to battle for him, and here he was, without a worry. He had been fine. I had risked myself, my gang, for him, and what was he saying? What was he doing?Barry bellowed. Shaw cursed. He, my avatar, the only good thing in my world, silently took everything my men,

Jade’s father screamed as he shook the screen, and Jade’s head bowed. There was a quick, sharp movement on the man’s end, and the screen went black as the device he had been using smashed into the floor of whatever room he was in.Destroying his computer as completely as he had destroyed h

It felt like a caged beast had been given freedom.I watched Marcus’ mirth, then he splashed cold water on my slowly burning mind and rose to leave. To leave me. Again.The fire scorched my soul.I grabbed his wrist. Only if he had chopped my hand off would I have let him go

Barry didn’t ask where I was, what I was doing, or when I’d be back. He really wasn’t an idiot.He already knew he couldn’t trace my number. He already knew I had access to people and things that he didn’t want to know about. But he had checked, numerous times over the years, that I wasn’t a rat. An
