Chapter 220

The rooftop of Kane Industries stretched out like a concrete garden forty stories above Manhattan's glittering streets. Stefan stood at the edge, his hands gripping the safety railing as he looked out over the city that had witnessed so much pain and betrayal in recent months. The night air was cool against his face, carrying the distant sounds of traffic and the faint smell of rain that might come before dawn.

Hannah emerged from the rooftop access door, carrying two steaming cups of coffee from the break room downstairs. She had been working for sixteen straight hours, analyzing communication patterns and tracking James Whitfield's movements, but she moved with the determined energy of someone who refused to let exhaustion slow her down.P

"I thought you might need this," Hannah said, offering Stefan one of the cups.

Stefan turned from the railing and accepted the coffee gratefully. Their fingers brushed as he took the cup, and both of them noticed the brief contact. The

    Chapter 227Victoria Kane woke to the sound of water dripping somewhere in the darkness. Her head throbbed from the collision and the sedative, and her wrists burned from the zip ties that bound her to a metal chair. The air around her smelled of rust and dampness, suggesting they were in some kind of warehouse or abandoned building.As her vision cleared, Victoria could make out Camille slumped in another chair about ten feet away. Her daughter's head hung forward, blood from the car accident dried on her forehead, her breathing shallow but steady."Camille," Victoria called softly, not wanting to alert their captors that they were conscious.Camille's head lifted slowly, her eyes unfocused and pained. "Victoria? Where are we?""I don't know. But we're alive, and that means we still have a chance."The room around them was large and empty, with high concrete walls and broken windows that let in shafts of dim light. Industrial equipment sat covered in dust and cobwebs, suggesting this

    Chapter 226Victoria Kane stepped out of Kane Industries at precisely 6:30 PM, flanked by two security guards who had been assigned to protect her after James's direct threat. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the sidewalk as her black sedan waited at the curb, engine running, ready to take her to meet Camille for dinner at their favorite restaurant.Camille emerged from the building seconds later, her own security detail creating a protective barrier around her as she moved toward the car. The past twenty-four hours had been exhausting - coordinating with the FBI about the manhunt for James, visiting Alexander in the hospital, implementing new security protocols for everyone James had threatened."Ready?" Victoria asked as Camille approached the sedan."More than ready," Camille replied, sliding into the back seat beside Victoria. "I need a normal evening after everything that's happened."The security guards performed their final check of the vehicle and surrounding ar

    Chapter 225Alexander walked out of Kane Industries into the cool evening air, feeling cautiously optimistic for the first time in months. The crisis with the Phoenix Grid had been contained, his relationship with Camille was slowly healing, and they finally had solid evidence against James Whitfield. Tomorrow, they would present everything to the FBI and end this nightmare once and for all.The parking garage beneath the building was nearly empty at this hour, with only a few cars belonging to security staff and late-working employees. Alexander's footsteps echoed off the concrete walls as he walked toward his car, keys already in his hand. The fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows between the parked vehicles, creating pockets of darkness that seemed deeper than usual.Alexander was thinking about dinner plans with Camille when he heard the soft sound of footsteps behind him. He turned, expecting to see another employee heading home, but found himself face to face with James Whitfiel

    Chapter 224Victoria Kane sat in the back seat of her black sedan, watching the familiar streets of Manhattan blur past the tinted windows. The follow-up appointment at Mount Sinai Hospital had gone well - her cancer markers were stable, her blood pressure had normalized, and her doctor had finally cleared her for full activity. After weeks of forced rest and medical monitoring, she felt ready to reclaim control of her life and her company.The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the city as her driver navigated through midtown traffic. Victoria used the quiet time to review reports on her phone, catching up on business decisions that had been made during her recovery. Kane Industries had weathered James's virus attack on the Phoenix Grid, thanks to Hannah's technical expertise and the coordinated response from Camille and Alexander.Reading about her daughter's effective crisis management filled Victoria with pride. Camille had grown into the leader Victoria always knew she could

    Chapter 223The Phoenix Grid control center erupted into chaos at 3:47 AM when every screen in the facility turned bright red and began flashing warning messages. Hannah Zhao sat at her workstation, watching months of careful engineering work being attacked by malicious code that spread through the system like wildfire."Full system intrusion detected," she announced, her voice steady despite the panic rising in her chest. "Someone's released a virus into the Phoenix Grid's core network."Alarms blared throughout Kane Industries as automated safety protocols kicked in, isolating infected sections of the power grid to prevent cascading failures across the city. The emergency lighting cast eerie shadows across the control room where Hannah's team scrambled to contain damage that could affect millions of people.Stefan burst through the control room doors, still wearing yesterday's clothes after spending the night monitoring James's movements. "How bad is it?""Bad," Hannah replied, her

    Chapter 222Camille sat in the small café near Kane Industries, stirring her coffee without drinking it. The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting warm patterns on the wooden tables where other customers read newspapers and checked their phones. Everything looked normal, peaceful even, but Camille felt like she was sitting in the eye of a storm that could explode into violence at any moment.Alexander walked through the café door, and Camille's heart did something complicated in her chest. He looked tired, older than his years, but there was something different about his posture. The desperate edge that had consumed him for months was gone, replaced by a quieter sadness that somehow felt more honest."Thank you for meeting me," Alexander said, sliding into the chair across from her. "I wasn't sure you would come.""I almost didn't," Camille admitted. "But we need to talk about what happens next."Alexander nodded, understanding that she wasn't just talking about James Whit
