Chapter 118

Roman traced the number in four hours.

"Burner," he said. "Purchased three days ago. Payment method traced to a corporate account connected to a lobbying firm that has done work for your father's office." He looked at Lennon. "Not your father directly but the chain is there."

"So he hired someone," Lennon said.

"He hired someone who hired someone," Roman said. "That is how these things work when you want distance."

"What does the threat mean practically," Lennon said. "What can

    The search began immediately. Lennon and Damien coordinated with the team. They tracked the woman, they followed the leads. They worked through the night without stopping.By morning, they had a location."She's in the city." Roman's voice came through the speaker. He was still recovering from his surgery. "She's staying at a hotel on the east side."Lennon grabbed his jacket. "Let's go.""We can't just rush in.""We don't have a choice."Damien grabbed his arm. "We need a plan."Lennon looked at him. "Then make one."The hotel was small, tucked between two larger buildings. The lobby was dim, the carpet was worn. The receptionist looked bored.Lennon stood by the elevator. Damien was beside him, the team was positioned around the building."Third floor. Room 312."Damien nodded. "Let's go."They took the stairs. The corridors were quiet, the doors were closed. The carpet was stained.Room 312.Lennon knocked. The door opened, The woman from the photo stood there. She was tall with a

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 253: Siege

    The penthouse was under siege. Not by armed men. The footage of Lennon from his kidnapping was everywhere. Every news channel played it, every social media feeds shared it. Every conversation was about it.Lennon stood in the living room. The television was off. He couldn't watch it anymore. He had seen enough, the footage showed him in the warehouse. It showed him talking to his captors. It made him look like he was working with them.Damien was at the window. His back was to the room. His shoulders were tight, he hadn't spoken in an hour."Damien. Look at me."Damien turned. His face was hard. His eyes were cold, the warmth that usually lived there was gone."The footage.”Lennon moved closer. "It's not real. You know that."Damien shook his head. "I know what I saw.""What you saw was edited. They took pieces of the truth and twisted them, they made it look like something it wasn't."Damien was quiet for a moment. "They made it look like you were working with them."Lennon felt the

    The morning came too quickly. The sun rose over the city. The streets filled with people going about their ordinary lives, the world continued turning while his world was falling apart.Lennon hadn't slept. He couldn't. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Luca's face. The terror in his eyes. The tears streamed down his cheeks, the way his small body had been shaking in that video.Damien was in the study. He had been on the phone since dawn. His voice was low and steady. He was holding himself together by sheer force of will.Lennon walked into the study. "What's happening?"Damien looked up from the phone. His face was pale. His eyes were red-rimmed. "I've arranged a press conference at noon, at the courthouse steps."Lennon felt the air leave his lungs. "A press conference.""I'm going to confess publicly to everything."Lennon moved closer. "Damien. No.""I have to.""No. You don't. There has to be another way."Damien set the phone down. He looked at Lennon. His expression was t

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 251: Taken

    Damien was on the phone. He had been on the phone for the past twenty minutes since Lennon hung up. His voice was sharp and his jaw was tight. His knuckles were white around the device."I need everyone now. I need every contact, resource. I don't care what it costs."Lennon turned from the doorway. "The nanny. What did she say?"Damien lowered the phone. His face was pale. "She didn't see anything. Someone came in through the service entrance, they knocked her out before she could react.""She's in the hospital?""Yes. She's going to be okay, but she couldn't identify anyone. She didn't see their faces."Damien moved closer. He put his hand on Lennon's shoulder, the touch was meant to be comforting. It wasn't."We're going to find him.""How? We don't know where he is. We don't know who he's working with, we don't know anything."Damien held his gaze. "We're going to find him because we have to. There's no other option, we can't stop."Lennon pulled away. "I need to do something. I c

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin   Chapter 250: Kessler

    The penthouse was dark when they returned. The city lights filtered through the windows. The apartment was quiet. Too quiet.Lennon stood in the living room. His mind was racing. Sarah's words echoed in his head."Kessler is alive."Damien moved beside him. "Are you okay?""I don't know." Lennon turned to him. "Kessler is alive. He's been alive this whole time. He's been watching us. He's been planning everything."Damien was quiet for a moment. "How is that possible?""I don't know. But we need to find out."The attorney arrived at nine AM. She had been working through the night."The bomb threat was staged. There was no bomb. It was a distraction."Lennon looked at her. "We know.""What else do you know?"Lennon moved to the table. "We know that Kessler is alive. We know he's been orchestrating everything from behind the scenes."The attorney stared at him. "Kessler is dead."Lennon shook his head. "No. He's not. He faked his death. He's been hiding for years."The attorney was quie

    The evacuation was chaos. People pushed and shoved through the narrow corridors of the courthouse. The emergency lights flickered overhead, the sound of shouting echoed off the walls.Lennon held onto Damien's hand with all his strength. He wasn't going to let go. He couldn't, if they got separated, he didn't know if he would find him again.Someone slammed into him from behind. The impact knocked him forward, his grip slipped."Damien!"He caught a glimpse of Damien's face. Then the crowd swallowed him whole.Lennon was pushed forward. He was carried along by the current of bodies. He tried to fight against it, but there were too many people. Too much pressure."Damien!"He couldn't hear a response. The noise was too loud, the panic was too thick.He emerged on the street. The air was cold. The sky was dark, police cars and fire trucks lined the road. Their lights flashed red and blue.He spun around. He searched the crowd. "Damien!"No response.He pushed through the people. He sear

    LENNON The lecture hall felt smaller than usual, like the walls had crept in closer just to watch Lennon lose his mind. He sat in his seat, trying—and failing—to focus. Lennon tried. God knows he tried so hard to focus on literally anything else, but Damian’s voice floated from the podium and sett

    Chapter 33Damien's smirk softened into something warmer, more deliberate. He leaned down and kissed Lennon slow, deep, letting their tongues slide together until Lennon was melting against him, small whimpers vibrating into Damien's mouth."Relax for me, baby," Damien murmured against his lips. "I

    LENNON The hallway after third period was too loud for Lennon’s liking—lockers slamming, people yelling, sneakers squeaking on tile.
