Chapter 29

The guest bedroom of the Frost Estate was bathed in the warm, dim glow of a bedside lamp.

Ethan slowly opened his eyes. The pounding in his skull had dulled to a persistent, heavy ache.

He was lying on a massive king-sized bed, wearing dry clothes a pair of sweatpants and a plain grey t-shirt that felt entirely too soft. The scent of lavender and expensive laundry detergent filled his lungs.

He wasn't in the penthouse. He wasn't in the hospital. Memory rushed back, hitting him like a

    Chapter 218Aegis Headquarters. New York City."Trace the signal! Now!" Ethan roared, slamming his bloody fist onto the console.Leo’s fingers flew across the keyboard, his face bruised and pale, but his gray eyes blazing with absolute focus. Despite arriving in New York via medical transport just twenty minutes ago, Leo had refused the hospital. He was sitting in the command center chair, hooked up to an IV pole, tracking the microscopic audio beacon."The beacon is triangulating," Leo muttered, his eyes darting across the scrolling lines of code. "It’s bouncing off a cell tower in... Long Island. East Hampton. Coordinates locking."A satellite map flashed onto the main holographic screen, zooming in rapidly on a sprawling, secluded coastal estate perched on the edge of the cliffs in East Hampton."The old Sterling Manor," Zara whispered, her blue eyes narrowing into slits of pure, homicidal fury. "It was Chloe’s mother’s estate. It was seized by the bank five years ago. Agatha must

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Ghost of the Matriarch

    Chapter 217Location: Unknown.Nine-year-old Aria Cole sat perfectly still on the edge of a massive, antique four-poster bed.The room she was locked in was opulent, but suffocating. Heavy velvet curtains were drawn tightly over the windows, blocking out the sun. The air smelled strongly of mothballs, expensive lavender perfume, and old wood.She was terrified. Her small hands gripped the edge of the silk bedspread, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird.But she was not crying.Tears are data for the enemy, her brother, Leo, had told her once when they were playing chess. If they see you cry, they know they are winning. Don't let them win, Aria.Aria took a slow, deep breath, forcing her heart rate to slow. She looked at the heavy mahogany door. She had watched the scarred mercenary lock it from the outside. It was a biometric deadbolt, reinforced with steel.She looked down at her hands. When the bad men had grabbed her from the Aegis bunker, she had kicked, scream

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Empty Cage

    Chapter 216Aegis Global Headquarters. New York City.The silence in the sub-basement of the Aegis Tower was the loudest sound Zara had ever heard.The heavy titanium blast doors of the holding level had been melted completely through with industrial thermite. The edges of the metal were still glowing a dull, angry orange as Ethan and Zara, flanked by Marcus and a heavily armed tactical team, stepped through the breach.The air smelled of ozone, burnt electrical wiring, and the metallic tang of blood.Lying on the polished concrete floor were four Aegis security guards. They hadn't been killed in a firefight; they had been executed at close range, shot cleanly through the visors of their tactical helmets.Zara stepped over the bodies, her jaw locked so tightly her teeth ached. She refused to look away. She forced herself to memorize the violence, using it as fuel for the inferno burning in her chest.Ethan moved ahead of her, his gun raised, sweeping the dark, cavernous hallway.They

    Chapter 215The howling wind of the Swiss Alps was completely drowned out by the roaring, deafening blood rushing through Ethan Cole’s ears.We have lost all comms with Aria's detail.The words echoed in his skull, paralyzing the apex predator in his tracks. He stood knee-deep in the freezing snow, staring at Marcus. For a terrifying, breathless second, the billionaire CEO was gone, replaced entirely by a father staring into the abyss of his worst nightmare."Ethan!"Zara’s voice cracked like a whip, pulling him back from the edge.She was scrambling out of the crushed snow-cat, her hands coated in Leo's blood, her blue eyes wide with a feral, terrified urgency. The medics were already hoisting Leo’s limp body onto a rigid spine board, clamping an oxygen mask over his pale face."We need to get him in the air!" Zara yelled over the roar of the helicopter rotors. "His core temp is dropping!"Ethan’s training as an underground survivor violently overrode his panic. He shoved the burning

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Wrath of Aegis

    Chapter 21430,000 Feet Above the Atlantic Ocean.The Aegis hypersonic stealth jet tore through the stratosphere, breaking the sound barrier twice over. Inside the luxurious, high-tech cabin, the atmosphere was a pressure cooker of absolute, suffocating terror.Zara paced the length of the aisle, her hands trembling as she stared at the massive holographic map of the Swiss Alps projected in the center of the cabin."Marcus," Ethan’s voice cut through the silence. He was sitting at the primary comms terminal, his suit jacket discarded, his gray eyes locked onto the screen with predatory intensity. "Give me an update on the thermal imaging.""Boss, the satellite sweep over the Institut Mont Blanc is complete," Marcus’s voice crackled over the speakers from New York. "We tracked the snow-cat’s heat signature leaving the school. But... we lost it."Zara stopped pacing, her heart slamming against her ribs. "How do you lose a ten-ton armored vehicle on an open mountain road?!""Because ther

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Frozen Tomb

    Chapter 213The impact felt like being struck by a freight train made of concrete.The avalanche hit the stalled snow-cat vehicle with catastrophic force, instantly flipping the massive, ten-ton armored transport as if it were a child’s toy. The agonizing sound of screeching, buckling metal deafened Leo as the world plunged into a violent, spinning abyss of white and black.He slammed hard against the ceiling of the cabin, pain exploding across his ribs as the vehicle rolled down the embankment, swallowed completely by the roaring tide of snow.Then, abruptly, the violent motion stopped.Absolute, suffocating silence fell over the cabin.The emergency auxiliary lights flickered, casting a dim, eerie blue glow over the interior. The snow-cat was buried under at least twenty feet of densely packed ice and snow, resting upside down at an unnatural, sickening angle. The temperature inside the cabin began to plummet instantly.Leo lay crumpled on the ceiling—which was now the floor. His he
