~ ISLA ~

The car moved steadily along the road, with the bustling city slowly passing by outside the tinted window.

I sat quietly in the backseat, my fingers resting lightly on my lap. Without realizing it, a small smile had already formed on my lips.

My mind replayed what happened earlier—Alistair’s expression, the way his jaw ticked like he was holding back his anger… the way he looked at me when I was with Simon.

He was jealous. Obviously. Even if he denied it a hundred times. Even if he tri

    ~ ALISTAIR ~"Dammit, Evan! What the hell are you doing?!" I growled through my teeth, my back slammed against the cold steel frame of the biometric door. The security alarms blared and red lights flashed across the entire facility the moment he tried bypassing the security code."I—I'm trying, Sir!" Evan's voice shook over the comms, the frantic clatter of his keyboard echoing in my ear. "I attempted a brute-force override on the sub-node, but Simon’s system is stacked with dead-man triggers! The moment my code hit the secondary firewall, it tripped an automated intrusion lock!""I don't give a damn about his firewalls! You just broadcast our exact location to the entire facility!"Rage burned behind my eyes—a silent, suffocating fury. Isla was right on the other side of this metal slab. If Simon realized we were pinned outside her wing, he wouldn't hesitate to execute her or inject her with that toxic formula before I could even reach her."I'm sorry, Sir! It's a hard-coded physica

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 226 — Execution

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The low hum of the subterranean ventilation system vibrated through the floorboards as we crept along the sub-level service corridor.My weapon was raised, scanning the dim, industrial shadows ahead. In a hostile compound like this, carrying a firearm at a low ready isn't enough; every corner could conceal one of Simon's mercenaries, and split seconds dictate who survives. My index finger rested lightly against the exterior frame of the trigger guard—keeping my finger safely off the firing mechanism to prevent an accidental discharge while remaining ready to snap into a lethal shot at a fraction of a second's notice.To the rest of the corporate world, I was just Alistair Montgomery—the ruthless CEO who spent his life behind a desk, moving billions with a single phone call. But power in our world was never maintained through wealth alone. From the moment I was old enough to understand the dangerous weight of my family’s name, my father ensured I was trained for every wors

    ~ SIMON ~A few moments later, the door of my office swung open, and Dr. Allison Reed stepped inside.Her posture was rigid under her crisp lab coat, but I could see the underlying tension in the tight set of her shoulders and the dark circles under her eyes. She carried a leather-bound medical folder tucked tightly beneath her arm.I didn't bother offering her a seat. I simply sat back in my chair, steepled my fingers, and watched her walk toward my desk with an amused, sarcastic smile playing on my lips."Dr. Reed," I said, my voice was smooth and dripping with cold mockery. "To what do I owe the honor of this late-night meeting? I assumed you were in the lab preparing the neural compound for tonight's procedure."Allison stopped a few feet from my desk. She didn't flinch under my gaze. Instead, she placed the medical file squarely on the marble surface and met my eyes with an unwavering, icy focus."The current formula for the memory-wiping compound is dangerously flawed, Dr. Ellis

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The air inside the concrete drainage pipe smelled of damp earth, rust, and stagnant water. It was pitch black out here, save for the faint red glow of tactical displays and night-vision optics.We moved in absolute silence. I crouched low, stepping carefully through the narrow service shaft. Antonio was right behind me, his boots barely making a sound against the wet concrete, followed by five of our best elite operatives. Every muscle in my body was coiled tight. My hand never left the grip of my suppressed firearm.Isla was likely just above us, hidden somewhere behind the thick concrete slabs and reinforced steel walls, breathing the same air as that venomous snake. My blood boiled as the thought crossed my mind. Once I caught that bastard, I swear I'm going to put a bullet straight into his head.Just hold on, Isla… I'm almost there.We stopped at a heavy steel maintenance hatch at the end of the lower tunnel. This was the exact spot Antonio's underground contact had

    ~ SIMON ~I sat behind the polished marble desk in my private office, staring down at the sleek black smartphone resting in the palm of my hand. The screen had gone dark minutes ago, but Robbie Davis’s voice still echoed in my head“The specialized advanced medical equipment you requested just arrived ahead of schedule... I was thinking of bringing it over to your lab personally tonight.”I slowly spun the phone between my fingers, my eyes fixed on the empty air. Davis was an underworld supplier—a mercenary driven entirely by greed. He had been my supplier for a decade and had been particularly useful, but he was inherently weak. A man like Davis didn't volunteer to deliver heavy machinery in the middle of the night out of pure goodwill. He certainly didn't risk stepping into my sanctuary just to talk about a routine shipment face-to-face. Something wasn't right. The timing was too precise, the offer too convenient.Is Davis acting on his own... or is someone holding a gun to his back

    ~ ALISTAIR ~I was in the middle of sorting the documents I had signed when the doors of my office suddenly slammed open.Old Man Chandler stood in the doorway, gasping for air, his face pale and twisted with rage. The calm, authoritative demeanor he had spent decades building was completely gone, replaced by the absolute panic of a ruined man. He held a stack of documents in his trembling hands, the papers shaking violently.In less than twelve hours, the targeted assault I unleashed had ripped through Chandler Corp. Their offshore accounts were frozen, their stock was plunging toward zero, and their major investors were backing out one by one. By tomorrow morning, the Chandler legacy would be nothing but a memory."Alistair!" he bellowed, taking unsteady, aggressive steps toward my desk. "What the hell is the meaning of this? You wiped out my entire company in a single day! My stock is worthless! My board is calling emergency liquidations! Restore my credit lines immediately, or I s
