Ethan didn't answer me immediately. He stood near the kitchen counter, staring at his phone as if he had received a message he wasn't sure he wanted to share.

"Who is Victor Hale?" I asked again.

"Someone I've known for years."

"That doesn't tell me anything."

Ethan put his phone down. "He has connections in several industries, including private security and logistics. He's also the kind of man who rarely does anything without expecting something in return."

I folded my arms. "And what does he

    I stared at the security monitor, trying to get a clearer view of the man standing behind my mother.He wore a dark jacket and a black cap pulled low over his forehead. His face was partially hidden, but the envelope in his hand was unmistakable.It was the same kind Daniel had received outside my gate."Ethan, do you recognize him?"Ethan moved closer to the screen. After studying the footage, he shook his head."No. But I want to know why he's with your mother."I picked up my phone and called her.She answered almost immediately."Hazel! Finally. Tell your guards to open the gate. I've been standing here in this cold for several minutes.""Who is the man standing behind you?"There was a brief silence."What man?""Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. He's standing right behind you."My mother turned around. The man stepped closer, said something to her, and handed her the envelope."Who is he?" I repeated."He's someone who came with me.""Why?""Because he knows s

    I read the message again before showing it to Ethan.He had just returned from inspecting the damaged fence with two guards. His jacket was covered in snow, and his expression told me he hadn't found the situation amusing."They left this," I said, handing him my phone.He read the message, then looked at me."Did they send anything else?""No. Just that."He studied the number before taking a screenshot."Don't respond to it.""I wasn't planning to.""What did you find outside?""The fence was deliberately damaged. Whoever did it knew where the cameras were positioned. They stayed just outside the blind spot and worked quickly.""Can they get through?""Not easily. We've already reinforced that section, but I'll have the entire perimeter inspected."I looked towards the monitor. The damaged section was still visible, although the guards had moved away from it."Someone knows enough about this property to avoid the cameras," I said. "That means they have been watching us.""Yes.""And

    The vehicle approached the main entrance without slowing down.I watched the security monitor as its headlights swept across the gate. The guards immediately moved into position, but the driver continued forward until the vehicle stopped just a few metres away."Can you identify it?" I asked.Ethan zoomed in on the footage."It's Daniel's car."I felt my jaw tighten.Of course, it was Daniel."He's becoming very persistent," I muttered.Ethan picked up the radio. "Nobody opens the gate. Keep your distance and wait for instructions."One of the guards acknowledged him.Daniel stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a thick jacket. He looked towards the cameras before walking closer to the gate. His phone was in his hand, and a moment later, it began ringing.My phone lit up.Daniel Calling.I ignored it.He called again."Answer him," Ethan suggested. "Let's hear what he wants."I accepted the call but said nothing."Hazel!" Daniel's voice came through immediately. "I've been trying to rea

    "Who is that man?" I asked, pointing at the vehicle behind Victor's car.Ethan didn't answer immediately. He was watching the security footage, his expression growing more serious by the second."He's one of the men we've seen before," he finally said. "The same one who approached Daniel."I stepped closer to the monitor. The vehicle stopped several metres behind Victor's car, but nobody came out. Its windows were tinted, making it impossible to see who was inside."Are they working together?""Possibly.""Then why is Victor here?""That's what I intend to find out."Ethan picked up the radio and instructed the guards to remain inside the security booth. Nobody was to approach either vehicle or open the gate. He then called someone and spoke briefly before ending the conversation.I folded my arms. "You keep saying you know what's happening, but I'm still getting pieces of the story from strangers.""I understand.""Do you? Because I have spent a lot of money securing this place. I wo

He's also the kind of man who rarely does anything without expecting something in return."I folded my arms. "And what does he want from me?""That's what I'm trying to find out."I wasn't satisfied with his answer. Victor had called me directly, mentioned the coming disaster, and warned that my bunker might not be enough. Those weren't the words of someone making an ordinary business inquiry."Did he know about the apocalypse before it started?" I asked.Ethan looked at me. "Why would you think that?""Because he sounded certain. He didn't say the weather might get worse. He said it would."Ethan remained quiet for a m

    By four in the morning, Ethan had contacted three technicians. Only one agreed to come to the property, and even he couldn't guarantee he would arrive before noon.I sat in the office with the construction manager on speakerphone, trying to determine whether we could solve the problem without waiting for outside help."The system was working during the first test," the manager explained. "The failure could be caused by a loose connection or a faulty component. We won't know until the technician inspects it.""Can we use the generator in the meantime?""Yes, but it wasn't intended to run continuously without proper monitoring. We need to be careful."I rubbed my forehead. "Then arrange for someone qualified to monitor it. I don't want anyone attempting repairs without the necessary equipment."After the call, I checked the weather forecast. The temperature had fallen again, and the authorities had announced temporary closures on several roads. There was no guarantee the technician woul
