2026-07-17 06:20:26Avery had just finished organizing the medical reports on her desk when the sound of urgent voices drifted up from the front gate, followed by the heavy tread of military boots against marble floors. The voices were sharp, demanding, cutting through the quiet of the estate like a blade. She could hear the guards trying to hold them back, but the intruders were insistent.
She frowned

The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 202 I Only Listen to You
At seven forty in the morning, Avery changed into her white coat and walked out of the office.The quiet sound of a supply cart rolling over the tiles filled the corridor. Out of the corner of her eye, she scanned the concealed corners. Evan's security detail was already in place, their positions discreet but unmistakable to a trained eye. A figure stood near the stairwell exit, another by the elevator bank. They moved with the practiced ease of professionals who had done this many times before.On the surface, everything appeared calm. The hospital hummed with its usual morning rhythm. But she knew the Gardener's people were nearby. The intelligence from the night before was still fresh in her mind, a quiet alarm that refused to fade. She couldn't afford to let her guard down for even a moment.
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 201 I Still Have a Family to Protect
Morning light poured through the east-facing floor-to-ceiling windows when Avery picked up her travel bag. The pale gold of early dawn spilled across the marble floor, catching the edges of the furniture and casting long, soft shadows. She had packed lightly, just a few essentials, the bag barely half-full.At the end of the corridor, Dominic leaned against the doorframe. His dark coat was slightly disheveled, as if he had just splashed cold water on his face, a lingering darkness still clouding his eyes. The shadows beneath them were deep, proof of another sleepless night. His hair was still damp at the temples, and the collar of his shirt was slightly crooked.At the sound of the zipper, he turned his head. "So soon?""Just a few clothes." Avery walked toward him, her footsteps soft against the wood floor.As she passed, Dominic raised his hand. His rough fingertips found her wrist, sliding down inch by inch, before threading through her fingers with a
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 200 I See You
When the video call connected, Avery had just finished saving the clinical data Dr. He had sent over. The files had come through in a dense stream, each one meticulously labeled, the kind of precise documentation that spoke to hours of careful work. She closed the folder and walked out of the inner room with her phone.Dominic was leaning against the wall across the corridor, his posture relaxed but alert. He turned his head toward the sound of her footsteps, his chin lifting slightly as if to catch the faintest shift in the air around her.On the screen, Dorothea was holding a small spoon, eating cake. A ring of white cream circled her lips, smeared across her cheek in a joyful, messy streak. When she spotted a dark piece of fabric enter the frame, her eyes lit up. She thrust her plate toward the camera with a
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 199 A New Breakthrough
When Avery woke, the light outside the window had already brightened considerably, the pale gold of early morning spreading across the ceiling in soft, shifting patterns. The air carried the familiar, cool scent of cedarwood that had come to define this room, mingled with the faint trace of coffee drifting in from somewhere down the hall.She turned her head. Dominic was still asleep, his breathing slow and steady, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest a quiet anchor in the stillness. His left arm rested across her waist, heavy and warm. His right arm served as her pillow, the muscles of his forearm tensed even in rest.The morning light fell across his profile, softening the hard lines of his face, smoothing away the cold edges that usually defined him. There was a rare tenderness in the set of his mouth, an unguarded stillness he never showed the world—a vulnerability that made her chest ache.Avery watched him for a long moment, her eyes tracing the l
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 198 Complete Surrender
At the end of the gangway, Dominic stood at the edge of the runway.The afternoon wind lifted the hem of his black coat, sending the fabric snapping against his legs. He stood in the heat haze rising off the tarmac, his silhouette sharp against the grey sky. No sunglasses. His unfocused dark eyes turned toward her the moment her foot touched the last step, as if he had tracked her descent through sheer will alone.Two steps remained when he raised his hand.His palm closed around her wrist with unerring precision. His fingertips found her pulse, his grip heavy enough to press her heartbeat into his skin. His thumb slid slowly down the inside of her wrist, tracing the delicate veins beneath the skin, his warmth sinking into her flesh like a brand of o
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 197: I Want to See You Today
At seven in the morning, when Avery pushed open the door, Drake was already standing at the entrance of the stairwell, holding a small paper box in his hands."The Boss asked me to bring this." He handed it over, his tone efficient, and stepped aside to clear the path.Avery opened it on the spot. Inside was a folded light grey silk scarf. She lifted it and glanced at it—the fabric was impossibly soft, with no tags at the edges, carrying the distinct coolness of a private custom order.

Dorothea lowered her head and went back to drawing. The crayon scratched across the paper."Dorothea." Avery crouched beside her daughter."Who told you that number?"Dorothea didn't look up. "I saw it.""Where did you see it?"The little girl's hand stopped. She put down the crayon, picked up her
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 08 I Said You'd Be Safe
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
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 07 The Shadows Stir
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
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 06 The Edge of Control
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
