In that instant, Avery's rationality was simultaneously overwhelmed by fear and clarity.

She couldn't let him see her. She couldn't let him find her here. Dorothea had just enrolled at St. George's Academy. Mother and daughter had finally managed to carve out a fragile peace in Sunset City. She had just settled her mother and brother into their treatments.

    Night wind poured in from the alley, carrying the damp chill unique to Sunset City's late hours. The air was thick with moisture, and the distant hum of the city had faded into a deep, expectant silence. The streetlights cast pale pools of yellow light on the wet pavement, each one isolated from the next by stretches of shadow. A stray dog barked somewhere in the distance, the sound swallowed almost immediately by the weight of the night.Evan's car sat parked diagonally ahead, its engine still running, the low-frequency vibration unusually distinct in the dead-quiet street. The exhaust curled faintly in the cold air, visible for just a moment before dispersing. He stepped out, lifted the silver-gray temperature-controlled case from the back seat, and leaned casually against the car door. His gaze settled on Avery with practiced warmth, the kind of warmth that had been cult

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 207 The Secret Behind the Door

    Avery secured both old keys in her pocket, the worn metal cool against her fingers, and turned to look at Dominic by the window.He was studying his phone screen, his brow furrowed in concentration. Without looking up, he spoke. "Building 13. There was a power spike thirty minutes ago. The temperature-controlled cabinet is running at full capacity. Someone's been keeping it active.""There's stock inside." Avery straightened her coat, her movements quick and decisive. "We need to move now."Evan lifted the metal case in his hand, testing its weight. He glanced sideways at Dominic, his voice measured, deliberate. "Mr. Kessler's people may know how to secure a scene, but they don't necessarily know how to preserve biological samples. If the compound is

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 206 Don't Worry, I'm Here

    The night had fully settled in, the city outside the windows reduced to scattered lights and distant shadows.The last sliver of light beneath Dorothea's door had gone dark, the small shadow that had been moving behind it finally still. The soft murmur of her breathing through the crack in the door was the only sign that she was deeply asleep. Kate had retreated to her room long ago, and the faint hum of her television had faded into silence.The living room was quiet now, lit only by the warm glow of a single floor lamp. The rest of the apartment lay in shadow, the corners soft and indistinct.The tap ran for a moment and stopped. Dominic came out of the kitchen, drying his hands on a small towel. He walked to where Avery sat, unbuttoned two buttons

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 205 Two Chairs

    The door opened a crack, and the cold draft from the hallway rushed in. The warm scent of home cooking, the savory aroma of braised meat and vegetables that had filled the apartment just moments ago, was suddenly tempered by the cool, dry air of the corridor.Evan stood outside, his fingers tightening around the file folder. The paper was crisp and new, but the contents inside were old, seven years old, to be exact. His gaze traveled past Avery's shoulder, landing on the figure at the dining table.Dominic sat there, his shirtsleeves rolled to his elbows, one hand resting on the table. He had just reached over to hand Dorothea her small water cup, his long fingers wrapped around the plastic handle with surprising gentleness. He was completely at ease, as if he had been sitting at that table for years, as if he belonged there. The warm light from the kitchen caught the edges of his profile, softening the hard lines that usually defined him.Dominic turned his hea

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 204 He's Refusing to Leave

    After Julian had fallen asleep, the nurse took over the post-procedure monitoring. The soft beep of the monitors continued their steady rhythm, a reassuring sound in the quiet of the VIP ward. Avery signed the final file, her signature crisp and clear at the bottom of the page, before leaving the room.The corridor was lit with pale night lights, casting long shadows across the polished floor. Dominic was leaning against the opposite wall, waiting for her in the stillness. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes tracked her the moment she emerged, their focus sharp and clear.He pushed off the wall as she approached, his gaze finding her face with renewed clarity."Is he asleep?""Sleeping.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 203: Injection Day

    At seven in the morning, the sensor doors of the VIP ward area slid open silently.The corridor appeared quiet, but the air carried a subtle tension that hadn't been there before. Evan's security personnel had changed into orderly uniforms and taken positions at every secure access point. Their movements were unhurried, practiced, but their eyes tracked every shift in the hallway with a vigilance that betrayed their true purpose. A janitor paused to wipe an already spotless section of wall. A nurse checked a supply cart that held nothing but a concealed earpiece.The theater of normalcy was flawless, but Avery had learned to read the spaces between the ordinary.This was the day of reckoning. And also the moment when danger pressed closest.

    The heavy wooden door clicked shut, leaving behind a faint, chilly draft from the corridor.Only after Drake had exited and the surrounding air collapsed back into a dead silence did Avery finally venture to poke her head out from beneath the heavy duvet. The flush on her cheeks hadn’t fully faded,

    During breakfast, Dorothea kept her eyes fixed on the staircase.Avery sat across from her, mechanically stirring her oatmeal, her gaze never leaving her daughter for a single second.The word "lullaby" from Drake the previous night felt like a thin wire tightened around her throat.

    The study was thick with the scent of fir and ink. Dominic stood against the light from the floor to ceiling window. As Avery entered, he turned toward her."Adrian invited me to the North Port," he said."To discuss what?""Logistics quotas. His docks, my cargo." He paused. "He asked for a private
