The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 135 Transaction in the Blind Spot
The car keys lay on the tabletop. Beside them, a slip of paper was pressed down, bearing a time and a set of coordinates. The paper was crisp and white, standing out against the dark wood grain of the table."This man doesn't ask any questions. He only looks at the key."Evan pulled off his gloves, his expression serious as he looked at her. The leather of the gloves was worn soft from use, and he folded them slowly, deliberately."Once he confirms it's genuine, he'll give you what you need. But he's not a good man. He could turn on you at any moment.""I know."Avery lifted her eyes, meeting Evan's probing gaze. She pulled the corner of her mouth into a dry, brittle smile. The gesture felt hollow on her lips, but she forced it anyway."Everyone is taking a risk tonight. Since I've already come this far, I don't have a choice."Evan studied her eyes for a long moment. The silence between them stretched, thick and unbroken. Finally, he let out a barely audible sigh. His shoulders dropp
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 134 The Falcon's Pursuit
Avery and her mother cleared the drainage pipe, tumbling onto the dry, overgrown bed of a forgotten river.Wild grass rose above their knees. Torrential rain hammered down, washing away the thick mud but stripping their remaining body temperature. Avery’s muscles locked under severe strain. The violent cramp in her leg throbbed, her frame trembling from the creeping cold.She bit her lip and untied the synthetic restraint straps. Her mother’s lips were an unnatural purple, her body shaking from advanced hypothermia. Disregarding her own state, Avery wrapped her heavy coat securely around her mother’s frail torso to lock out the dampness.Suddenly, the deep thrum of tactical rotors shattered the heavy sound of the storm. A high-intensity searchlight cut through the rain, scraping across the leaves just yards away. Avery pulled her mother tightly into her chest, shrinking into the dense shadow of a briar thicket. She held her breath.The blinding column of light finally shifted toward t
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 133 She Is Truly Alive
The heavy iron door clicked shut, the old mechanical lock biting firmly into the strike plate. The moment the latch secured, Avery’s strength gave out entirely. She slid down against the cold timber of the paneling, collapsing onto the damp concrete floor.The darkness of the interior enveloped her completely. There was no ambient illumination, only the sound of her own ragged, heavy breathing echoing off the narrow walls.This facility was an old, decommissioned asset belonging to the early days of the Kessler enterprise. Because it was located far from the main city sectors and designed to avoid external attention, Dominic had never modernized the surveillance framework. He had merely authorized the installation of core monitoring hubs at the primary entrance and within the main elevator shaft.Avery had spent weeks memorizing the structural blueprints of this facility. Her cognitive mapping of the sector was flawless. She avoided the main elevator entirely, routing her movement ins
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 132 The Collapsing Giant
When Dominic sat up from the mattress, the illumination inside the primary bedroom had already shifted completely.He had no definitive data to determine exactly how long his system had been offline. His cognitive memory only preserved a final sequence from the previous evening: the precise second he had authorized the terminal signature on the last offshore trust agreement, his visual field had collapsed into absolute darkness.His daily routine was unyielding, calculated to a flawless precision, yet the morning light cutting through the floor-to-ceiling windows was blinding, slanting across the marble floor at an angle that signaled a severe structural disruption in his timeline.The metrics were wrong.Dominic’s chest tightened violently as a wave of intense friction rushed down his spine. He reached out with a rapid, aggressive sweep of his arm, grabbing the mobile device resting on the nightstand. The display illuminated instantly, flashing the system digits directly into his eye
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 131 Don't Let Him Catch You!
At eight-fifteen in the morning, Avery pushed open the door to Dorothea’s room.The little girl had only just woken up. She was sitting in the middle of the bed, rubbing her slightly swollen eyes. Dorothea blinked slowly, her wide pupils still trying to find their focus in the morning dimness."Mommy," she murmured, her voice thick with sleep. "It's Saturday today. There's no school."Avery knelt by the side of the mattress, reaching out to gently stroke her daughter’s soft cheek. "I know, sweetie. But we have to go out for a bit today."Dorothea tilted her head curiously. "Where are we going?""To pick up your Uncle Julian," Avery said softly. "And then, we are going to a place that is much warmer than this."As she spoke, Avery reached into the wardrobe and pulled out a thick, windproof cloak, gently draping it over Dorothea’s shoulders. She guided the little girl’s arms through the sleeves.Halfway through putting it on, Dorothea tilted her head up. Her dark eyes locked onto Avery'
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 130 Before the Dawn
When Avery returned from the headquarters, the staff members in the corridors immediately lowered their heads. They dispersed the moment they saw her. The news had clearly spread. Their public fallout at the tower was no longer a secret.Every glance directed her way was heavy. They looked at her as if she were a ghost—someone with a very short lifespan. Avery ignored them completely. She quickened her pace and headed straight upstairs.Reaching the high windows, she moved carefully. She found a blind spot, safely out of the security cameras' view. She pulled her encrypted mobile device from her inner pocket.She dialed Sophia’s number.This was a contingency route she had been quietly structuring for over a month. During the long weeks of her captivity inside the estate, she hadn't been idle. Through Sophia’s external network, she had systematically mapped out the escape routes around North Port. She knew the rotation patterns of the guards by heart.Her calculated confrontation with

The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 61 The Scorched Lie
Behind the heavy door lay a converted warehouse, now a private gallery. It was windowless, the air thick with the scent of aged paper and dust. The cold light from the overhead fixtures made the space feel sterile, unforgiving, as if the room itself was holding its breath.Dominic stood in
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 60 The Silent Exchange
The main lights in the study were off; only the desk lamp cast a pool of amber light across the surface. The shadows in the corners seemed to breathe, stretching and contracting like something alive.When Avery pushed the door open, Dominic was partially submerged in the shadows of his cha
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 58 Gambit After the Silence
Dorothea was curled up on the sofa, her forehead bandage freshly changed. The rabbit lay across her lap, its ears being folded back and forth by her restless fingers. The television was on, the cartoon’s volume dipped to a whisper. Outside, the winter mist pressed against the windows, muffl
