CHAPTER 88

THE RESCUE

The sound of approaching vehicles grew louder.

Elena held her breath.

She couldn't see through the small window, but she could hear tires grinding against the loose gravel outside the building.

Then came silence.

The kind that felt heavier than noise, door remained locked.

Two men stood outside. Elena could hear their voices clearly.

"Are you sure he's coming?"

"He always comes."

There was a brief pause.

"And the girl?"

"Keep her alive. She's the only reason he'll walk int

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 94— THE WOMAN BESIDE HIM

    CHAPTER 94THE WOMAN BESIDE HIMThe next morning, Elena walked into Kane Group beside Adrian.She noticed the difference immediately.People looked at her, but these weren't the curious glances she had received when she first returned to Adrian's life. These were different. Respectful. Careful.Some employees greeted her warmly, while others lowered their voices as she passed. A few glanced at Adrian before acknowledging her, as though trying to understand exactly where she stood in his world.Elena couldn't blame them.For years, Adrian Kane had been known as a private man. Now everyone knew she was the woman beside him, and apparently, everyone had an opinion about it.Adrian noticed her expression."You okay?""I'm fine.""You're staring.""I'm observing."He smiled."That's usually more dangerous."She gave him a look."You've learned.""From experience."He placed a hand lightly against her lower back as they entered the elevator.Elena glanced at him."What?""Nothing.""You smi

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 93— THE EVIDENCE

    CHAPTER 93THE EVIDENCEAdrian didn't confront Marcus. That was the first rule.No accusations. No threats. No sudden changes in routine. Nothing that would give Marcus a reason to suspect he had become a target of the investigation. Instead, Adrian watched.He watched the meetings Marcus attended, the people he spoke to, the files he accessed, the calls he made, and the places he visited.Every detail was recorded. Every unusual movement was compared with the information they had already gathered, but after three days, Adrian still had nothing conclusive.Marcus continued working as though nothing had changed. He arrived at Kane Group at the same time every morning, attended meetings, reviewed reports, and spoke with executives. Almost every evening, he left at precisely the same time.There were no secret meetings, unexplained trips, suspicious calls, or unusual activities.Nothing. It was almost too clean.Elena sat across from Adrian in his office, examining the records Damien had

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 92— THE MAN HE TRUSTED

    CHAPTER 92 THE MAN HE TRUSTEDAdrian didn't speak until they were inside his private office.The doors closed behind them. For several seconds, he simply stood beside the window, staring down at the city below.Elena waited. She knew better than to rush him. Whatever name he was about to say had clearly been weighing heavily on his mind.Finally, Adrian turned."Marcus Hale."Elena's expression changed."Marcus?" Adrian nodded.She remembered him. Marcus had been around Kane Group for years. He was one of Adrian's most trusted executives, someone who seemed to move effortlessly between departments and had access to information most employees never saw."You're serious?""I wish I wasn't.""Why him?"Adrian walked toward his desk and picked up an old photograph. Marcus stood beside Adrian and his father, all three looking directly at the camera."He worked for my father. When my father died, Marcus stayed."He placed the photograph on the desk."When I inherited the company, I was in

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 91—THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK

    CHAPTER 91THE FACE BEHIND THE MASKThe security facility remained unusually quiet.After the chaos of the previous night, the silence felt almost unnatural.Adrian stood outside the interrogation room with his arms crossed, staring through the glass at the empty chair where Daniel Mercer had been sitting before his death.The man's final words had left him with more questions than answers.Someone had been beside Adrian for years.Someone he trusted.Someone powerful enough to access Kane Group's systems, private records, and the organization that had been manipulating their lives from the shadows, not Daniel had taken the identity to his grave.Damien stood beside Adrian, scrolling through the security reports on his tablet."We've recovered the footage from the blackout."Adrian didn't take his eyes off the room."And?""Someone disabled the cameras manually.""Inside the facility?""Yes."Adrian's jaw tightened."How?""Using an administrator-level access card."Adrian finally tur

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 90 — THE ENEMY WITHIN

    CHAPTER 90THE ENEMY WITHINThe security facility had gone into lockdown.Every entrance was sealed, and every employee had been ordered to remain where they were until security completed a full sweep of the building.Phones were being checked. Access cards were being reviewed, and surveillance footage was undergoing a thorough examination.Yet Adrian couldn't shake the feeling that they were already too late.He stood behind the glass of the medical room, watching the captured man fight for his life as doctors moved around him. Machines beeped steadily, while security officers maintained their positions outside the door.Elena remained beside Adrian.She hadn't said much since the survivor collapsed, and neither had he.The man's final words continued to echo in Adrian's mind.He's been with you. Who?For how long? and how much had he known?Damien approached them."We've checked everyone who entered the facility during the last twenty-four hours.""And?""No one obvious."Adrian turn

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 89— AFTER THE FIRE

    CHAPTER 89AFTER THE FIREBy the time they reached Kane Group's private security facility, dawn was beginning to break over the city.Elena sat quietly in the back seat, Adrian beside her. Neither had said much since leaving the burning building. His hand remained wrapped around hers, and he hadn't let go once.She could feel the tension in his fingers. His mind was still occupied with everything that had happened: the fire, how close they had come to losing everything, the people who had taken her, and perhaps most painfully, the thought that he might have arrived too late.The car eventually came to a stop.Damien opened the door."Security is ready."Adrian nodded before stepping out. Elena followed, and the moment she entered the building, a female security officer approached her."Ma'am, we need to check you for injuries.""I'm fine.""Please. It's just a precaution."Elena glanced at Adrian, who nodded reassuringly."Let them."She followed the woman into a private examination r
