last update Last Updated: 2024-12-05 16:41:33

Xander was struck with a sudden and overwhelming realisation. The person behind this complex plan wasn't just interested in gaining wealth, influence, or power. No, their objective was much more intimate. He couldn't stop hearing the cryptic words of the operative: "The real target is someone much closer to you." However, who? Who in their family would deserve this kind of attention? Without proof, he couldn't let his thoughts go too far, but the dread in the pit of his stomach wouldn't go away.

Standing in the corridor, Sofia gave Xander a worried glance. She drew nearer to him as her protective instincts took over. "What are you not telling me, Dad?" Even though she talked calmly, there were a thousand unanswered questions in her voice.

Xander looked over at her. "Sofia, it's not just about Mateo anymore. I believe... I believe they are pursuing a trusted member of our family. Someone who is already in close proximity.

Sofia's eyes widened as she realised what had happened. "You bel

  • REVENGE AND RAVISH   Chapter 168

    It was a quiet morning in the Mexican mansion. Natural sounds filled the air, including the distant crash of ocean waves, the whisper of the wind, and the rustle of leaves. But there was a distinct silence in the villa. This kind of peace had been achieved over many years of hardship, loss, and uncertainty. They had come a long way, and when the Blackwoods gathered around the table that morning, there was an unspoken agreement that they had finally found their real home.Xander stood at the window and looked out over the horizon. After the frenetic past few years, this quiet period felt like a dream. They were no longer defined by their history; rather, it was an integral part of who they were and not a thing they had to hide from. They were complete and a family, not only survivors.Sofia, who had become strong and confident, sat at the table with Liam and Elena. Even though they were fully grown adults, their kinship remained unbroken. Despite being in her early thirties, Elena main

    The air in the narrow hallway grew cooler as they moved farther into the warehouse's gloomy areas. Xander's heart pounded, each step feeling heavier than the last. As if the walls themselves were closing in on them, they were forced more into a chasm of uncertainty. Sofia, whose sneakers were hardly audible over the cold concrete, held Mateo's hand and followed him carefully.Glancing over his shoulder, Xander whispered, "Stay close." Sofia gave a small nod, but her eyes were wide with terror and her face was white.They walked carefully down the hallway, their breath visible in the cold, stale air. The only sounds were the soft shuffle of their boots and the creaking of the building that had been empty for years. As they reached the end of the hallway, Xander paused, his senses sharply alert.In front of them was a massive metal door unlike anything they had ever seen. Its surface was perfect, and it had been well maintained for its age. The area appeared eerie as a faint red light f

    Even after the man vanished into the darkness, the gravity of the moment persisted. The candles' wavering light created long, unsettling shadows around Xander, Sofia, and Mateo as they stood together. As though anticipating their next action, the outside world appeared to hold its breath.Xander inhaled deeply as he attempted to calm the raging thoughts in his head. They couldn't ignore the option the man had given them. He had forewarned them of the perils that awaited them and the impending revelation of the past's shadows. More than that, though, he had sowed the seeds of suspicion regarding his father's actual involvement in this whole situation. Alexander Blackwood's legacy was not at all what Xander had thought."Will we actually do this?" The silence was broken by Sofia's voice as she stared at Xander with a mix of fear and resolve. We have no idea who that individual is or what his true desires are. However, what he mentioned seems genuine.Xander's face was unreadable as he t

    The stranger was standing in front of Xander, and the quiet of his presence was unnerving. His words lingered heavily in the air, providing cryptic hints to a truth they weren't yet prepared to comprehend, while the shadows played around him, masking his features. Sensing the tension in the room, Sofia had moved closer now, her hand tightening around Mateo, who had been abnormally quiet.Xander's gaze remained fixed on the person in front of him. His thoughts were racing as he considered his options. Trust was brittle, and how could he afford to trust someone who showed up out of the blue with only a vague warning in a world where enemies may be hiding around every corner? Nevertheless, there was something about the man's demeanour and presence that suggested he was aware of their predicament, knowledge that Xander was not yet aware of."What brings you here?" Even though he was feeling uneasy, Xander's voice remained calm. "Are you aware of the storm you keep talking about?"The figu

    Everyone appeared to feel the weight of the anxiety that pervaded the air. Even after searching every inch of the house and identifying every potential escape route, the uneasiness persisted. Sofia sat at the dining table, her eyes darting nervously to every shadow in the room as though it were concealing an adversary. Xander's mind was racing with ideas as he stood by the window, staring into the night, but none made sense. How is it possible for someone to be both close and distant?Once a haven, the house now felt like a trap. Mateo, who had previously made them laugh and brightened their days, appeared to notice the shift as well. His naive happiness had faded, and he held on to his mother tightly, his tiny hands clutching her like a lifeline. They were forced to work together to negotiate the uncertain maze that had become the outside world.Xander thought about the note again. Never put your trust in anyone. The storm is approaching. Certainly that was a warning. But for whom wa
