Her temples throbbed as if they might split open. Avery sat by the window until dawn. Her mind was filled with that puddle of dried black blood and the overturned wheelchair lying in the weeds. She hadn't closed her eyes once. The image of the stain stayed with her every time she tried.

She pulled her hair into a tight ponytail and went downstairs with a dark expression.

The study door wasn't fully closed. Avery didn't knock. She pushed the door open and walked straight in.

"Back already."

  • 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

    The gunpowder smoke on the overpass had been washed away by the rain. Obsidian City welcomed a rare, clear sky. The morning light fell across the buildings, clean and bright, as if the city itself had been reborn. The wet streets glistened under the pale sun, and the distant hum of the harbor carried a note of calm that had been absent for years.With the International Special Investigation Bureau and the Morris family's heavy blockade, the web of black-market interests that had entrenched itself in Obsidian City for years was uprooted. One by one, the old channels were shut down, the hidden accounts frozen, the shadow networks dismantled. North Port was orderly. Ships moved in and out on schedule. The old world's poison had been cleansed by absolute force.Inside the underground command center, the air was cold

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 225: The Final Gambit Before Dawn

    Six in the morning. The coastal overpass at Obsidian Port.The rain had not stopped. The sea wind whipped up towering waves that crashed violently against the cliffs below the overpass, sending plumes of white spray high into the air. Sirens and ambulance alarms tore through the rainy night, painting the sky with streaks of red and blue light. The emergency vehicles' flashing beacons reflected off the wet asphalt, casting long, distorted shadows across the bridge. Rainwater streamed down the concrete barriers in thin, relentless rivulets, pooling in the cracks and running toward the edges.Under international judicial procedure, after the interrogation at Kessler Estate, Victor had to be transferred to the International Special Investigation Bureau and Obsidian City's joint police escort. He was to be taken to a

    A gunshot cracked through the air.Before Avery could react, a hand shoved her head down. She was yanked into someone's chest, hard.The bullet hit the spot where she had been standing. Wall chips scattered everywhere.She looked up. It was Dominic.His chin pressed against the top of her head. His

    Dorothea was still standing in the hallway, a tiny, spectral figure in the gloom.Avery walked over and scooped her up. The child’s skin was like ice; there was no telling how long she’d been rooted there."Sweetheart, why are you out of bed?"Dorothea didn't answer. She buried her face in the croo

    Avery couldn't sleep.She watched the sky bleed from ink-black to a bruised, pale gray. She lay there, eyes wide, as Dominic's words played on a loop in her mind: “I wanted to see if you would use Wenger's method. To kill me.”Beside her, Dorothea's chest rose and fell in a rhythmic, innocent slumb

    "You're afraid of me."He moved closer as he spoke. Close enough that she could smell the cedar on him.Dominic reached out and pinched her chin, tilting it up. Her head was forced back. Her throat exposed.His thumb pressed down on her lower lip."All talk."She raised her hand to slap his away. He
