The dull ache at the base of her neck violently dragged Avery out of the pitch darkness.

She forced her eyelids open. The primary marker appearing within her restricted visual field was the familiar texture of silk bed curtains.

Avery’s head felt as though it were fracturing from a massive internal pressure. Supporting her numbed forehead with one hand, her focus suddenly registered an object resting flat against the adjacent pillow—Dorothea’s plush rabbit, completely missing its left ear, lay

    The titanium blast doors slammed down, the heavy echoes reverberating through the hall. The impact shook the floor beneath their feet, and the sound lingered in the air like a final judgment.Faced with the sudden crisis, Dominic stood tall and unmoved. He pulled Avery close, his arm settling around her waist, drawing her into the solid warmth of his chest. His palm pressed against her lower back, steady as an anchor in a storm. The tension in his shoulders was coiled, ready, but his grip on her was careful, protective. His heartbeat was steady beneath her ear, a quiet rhythm that pushed back against the chaos around them."Old man, you've been acting long enough." Dominic's grey eyes were dark and deep as he looked at the figure on the screen. His voice carried no heat, only the flat certainty of a man who had

    Deep within the abandoned pipeline, it was dark and damp.The cold metallic smell of rust mingled with the salty tang of sea water. Avery moved forward in a low crouch, her black tactical suit hugging her lean frame. The faint glow of emergency lights traced sharp lines across her profile, her cool eyes burning with intense vigilance. Every shadow, every sound, every shift in the air was cataloged and assessed. Her boots made almost no sound against the wet metal floor, each step a careful negotiation with the silence.This was not her firs

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 231 Fortress Under the Fog

    Thirty thousand feet above the ocean, inside the Gulfstream business jet.The cabin lights had been dimmed, leaving only a few soft wall lamps casting a gentle glow, shielding them from the raging storm outside the thick windows. The low hum of the engines was the only constant sound, a steady backdrop to the stillness within.Avery sat cross-legged on the wide leather sofa, her phone resting on her knee. The screen's glow illuminated her cool features as her fingers moved rapidly across the display, cross-referencing the voiceprint she had just captured with the terrain map of Santa Maria Island. Lines of code and topographic data streamed across the screen, each one a piece of the puzzle she was slowly assembling.Staring at the dense streams of da

    The Neptune's top deck. The sea wind howled, carrying the sharp stench of gunpowder and scorched metal. Black smoke rose from the lower decks, curling into the night sky like dark serpents. The glow of distant fires reflected off the churning waves below, painting the water in shades of orange and crimson.The chaos and flames from the hall below raged through the night. The ship's anti-aircraft defenses had been silently disabled by Dominic's undercover operatives, who had infiltrated the Neptune hours before the auction began. Every gun emplacement, every missile battery, every radar array had been neutralized without a single alarm being raised. The ship's command center had been taken over, its systems rerouted to Kessler's control.Duke Oliver lay sprawled on the wet deck, his once-immaculate vintage suit s

    Midnight was approaching.Three decks below the Neptune's surface, the extravagant circular auction hall blazed with light. The air was thick with the scent of agarwood, expensive cigars, and the undercurrent of blood. Massive crystal chandeliers cast a dim, opulent golden glow over the space. The circular viewing galleries were packed to capacity. Those who stood here were titans and criminals from the global underground, arms dealers, illegal tech moguls, and black-market power brokers. The murmur of voices rose and fell like a living thing, punctuated by the clink of glasses and the rustle of expensive fabrics. The polished marble floor reflected the chandelier light in a thousand tiny points, like a field of distant stars.Dominic and Avery sat in the best VIP box on the second level.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 227 The Undercurrent of the Neptune

    Under the cover of night, the open sea churned with towering waves. The black water stretched endlessly, like a beast with its jaws wide open, its surface broken only by the white caps of crashing swells. But in the heart of this dark and lawless expanse, a colossal structure blazed with light, extravagant beyond measure. Its decks were lined with gold and crystal, its hull a fortress of steel against the raging sea.The Neptune, the world's largest mobile underground trading platform.The sound of rotor blades cut through the air, growing louder as a black helicopter descended onto the top deck. The downdraft sent the sea spray scattering across the landing pad. The engines wound down to a low hum.The cabin door slid open. The sea wind whipped agai

    Avery was shoved into a car. The door slammed shut behind her.The cabin was dark. Dominic sat across from her.Before she could catch her breath, he spoke."Your daughter is with me."Avery's fists clenched. "What did you say?""Wenger's men grabbed her. I intercepted them." Dominic's voice was fl

    Avery looked at him and didn't answer right away.Her mind was already working.Meant for her? With explosives?She wasn't a security expert, but she wasn't stupid. The villa's windows were bulletproof. The hallway had motion sensor lights. Every corner had cameras. If someone just wanted to kill h

    Morning light poured through the floor to ceiling windows and spread across the cold grey marble floor. Pale. Like an operating room light.Avery sat up, her body aching. Her eyes swept the room.No photos. No plants. No decoration at all. Grey white walls, metal trim. So empty it made her chest ti

    Before her appointment, Avery received an anonymous card.No signature. Just one line:"Experiment 047 is waiting for you. Don't disappoint him."She turned the card over and back again. No clues.047?A number for what?She didn't know what it meant, but the feeling of being calculated in advance ma
