  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 216 Countdown and Vow

    Old Obsidian City district. The gallery entrance was narrow, with no signboard. Above the door frame, a small metal symbol was carved. Dominic paused at the threshold, his grey eyes lingering on that symbol longer than on anything else. Then he pushed open the heavy wooden door.The motion-activated spotlights inside the gallery flickered on as they walked, each section lighting in sequence as they advanced and extinguishing behind them in the same measured rhythm. The effect was almost theatrical, as if the space itself was guiding them deeper into its secrets.The innermost room matched the video footage exactly, the sofa, the oil paintings on the walls, the pattern of the carpet, even the position of the floor lamp was identical. Everything had been left precisely as it was, a stage waiting for its audience.

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 215 Cutting Through the Fog

    Morning light filtered through the windows when the soft sound of coffee grinding and the sizzle of frying eggs drifted from the kitchen. The aroma of fresh coffee and warm bread filled the apartment, a welcome contrast to the cold tension of the previous night.Avery pulled on her coat and stepped out of the bedroom. The floor was cool against her bare feet as she walked into the living room.In the living room, Dorothea was already seated at the table, her cheeks stuffed full, a half-eaten strawberry clutched in her small hand. Her little legs swung back and forth beneath the chair, and there was a smear of red juice across her chin. She looked up the moment she saw Avery, her eyes lighting up like twin stars."Mommy! Did you and Dominic go dragon

  • The Don’s Dangerous Addiction   Chapter 214 Is What You Got Really the Truth?

    The black SUV pulled smoothly into the main portico of the estate, its tires crunching softly against the wet gravel.The doors opened, and the cold, damp night air rushed in, carrying the scent of rain-soaked earth and fresh asphalt. Dominic held an umbrella in one hand, his other settling on Avery's lower back as he guided her around the puddles and up the marble steps. His palm was warm through the damp fabric of her gown, steady and sure.The second floor was silent. Dorothea had already been put to bed by Kate, her room dark and quiet, the soft sound of her breathing barely audible through the crack in the door.Dominic took the coat she had been wearing—his coat—from her shoulders and hung it on the rack by the door, smoothing the f

    When they stepped out of the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce building, the first drop of rain landed on Avery's hand—cold, sharp, piercing, like a needle of ice against her skin. She looked up at the sky, which had been clear just moments before, now swallowed by a thick blanket of clouds that seemed to press down on the city like a lid.Within seconds, the downpour had torn through the night sky over Obsidian City, shattering the stillness into a curtain of water. The rain came down in sheets, pounding against the pavement with a force that seemed almost personal. The street below spread out in a wet sheen of reflections, blurring the distant streetlights into smudged golden halos that danced and wavered in the puddles forming on the asphalt. The air smelled of wet concrete and ozone, the sharp tang of electricity still lingering from the storm.

    Obsidian City Chamber of Commerce Building, top floor, private banquet hall.The long table was already lined with representatives from Obsidian City's core factions. Low conversations drifted through the air, the atmosphere taut and layered with unspoken calculations. The clink of glasses and the murmur of deals being brokered filled the space, but beneath it all, a current of tension ran through every exchange. Crystal chandeliers cast cold, fractured light across the polished mahogany surface, illuminating faces that had been carved by decades of power struggles and careful betrayals.Dominic's seat was to the right of the head of the table. To his left, a single empty chair remained. No one had dared to question its purpose.When Dominic pushed o

    The moment the helicopter door opened, the dry, cold wind of Obsidian City rushed in, cutting through the warmth of the cabin and hitting them square in the face. The air carried the familiar metallic edge of the city, a scent Avery had not realized she had missed until now.Dominic stepped out first, carrying Dorothea in one arm. The little girl stirred, her small fingers clutching the collar of his dark shirt, her head burrowing into the curve of his neck. She was still half-asleep, her breathing slow and even against his shoulder."Dominic... are we there yet?""Yes." His voice softened instantly, his palm pressing gently against the back of her head. "Go back to sleep. I've got you."

    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

    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

    Morning came.Dominic's chair was empty.When Avery woke up, he was already dressed. Hearing her stir, he turned."Let's go. The lab."He didn't give her time to hesitate.Drake stayed behind to watch the house. The car waited at the gate.Dominic walked ahead in a dark tactical jacket. Avery follo
