The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 138: The Uninvited Guest
Evening.The housekeeper and servants in the small building had all taken up their posts, moving quietly through the rooms with practiced efficiency. The soft glow of the lamps cast warm pools of light across the floors, and the faint scent of home-cooked food still lingered in the air. Avery watched her mother finish her dinner and take her medication under the care of the staff, waiting until the older woman had settled in and drifted off to sleep. The rise and fall of her mother's chest was steady now, peaceful, a sight that made something in Avery's chest loosen just slightly.She gave the nurse a few brief instructions, her voice low and careful not to disturb the sleeping woman, then closed the door behind her, the latch clicking softly into place, and left.The hotel was not far away. The streets were quiet, the evening lights beginning to flicker on along the sidewalks. A few cars passed, their headlights cutting through the gathering dusk, but otherwise the city felt still, a
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 137 Reunion at Dawn
Rain covered the windshield completely, streaking down in long, uneven rivulets. Through the blurred water marks, the figure at the bow looked far too familiar.Avery pushed herself up from the car door and walked forward two steps through the wet mud. Her boots sank slightly with each step.The man at the bow turned sideways to adjust the angle of the light. As the beam shifted, his face came into view.It wasn't him.She stood in the wind, the cold biting at her cheeks, realizing only now that she had been afraid. Afraid that Dominic would actually be standing there.The man on the deck suddenly shouted in her direction: "The captain is waiting. Please hurry."Waves crashed against the embankment in a steady, rhythmic beat. Avery looked away, secured the car, and helped her mother down.Her mother could move a few steps on her own, but most of her weight still rested on Avery's shoulders, pressing down with each labored step. She guided the older woman slowly across the narrow gangp
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 136 Unfathomable Partiality
The overhead surgical light had gone out at some point, leaving only a single wall lamp casting a warm, gentle orange glow across the dim basement. The light pooled softly on the concrete floor, pushing the corners of the room deeper into shadow.Evan stepped back from the operating table and raised a hand to press against his temples, which were tight with exhaustion. His sleeves were still rolled up, and there was a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead despite the cold."Her fever has broken. Her vital signs have stabilized. The equipment here is rudimentary, and this is the most I can do. But at least it should hold for the next two days."Avery walked over and sat down by the bed.Under the thin blanket, her mother's gaunt frame was almost jarring to look at. The bones of her shoulders stood out sharply beneath the fabric. Her breathing had leveled out now, the rise and fall of her chest slow and steady. Avery didn't wake her. She just sat there quietly, watching the faint rise an
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 04 You Chose Wrong
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
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 03 No Way Out
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
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 02 Under His Watch
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
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 01 A Deadly Deal
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
