At 3:20 PM, Avery arrived ten minutes early, parking her car on the opposite side of the street. The moment she killed the engine, she saw it—a dark business van parked to the right of the school gates, less than twenty meters from the entrance. The windows were tinted so heavily she couldn't see inside.
The engine was running, white exhaust puffing rhythmically from the tailpipe.

The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 47 The Demon Reaches Out
Dorothea had grown quite a bit; her school skirt was now noticeably short. Since Blackwood Academy uniforms could only be tailored at a designated shop, Avery took her there directly after school.During the fitting, Dorothea stood on her tiptoes, reaching for a potted ivy on the counter. Avery pulled her back gently. "Stay still, baby. If the measurements are off, we’ll have to fix it all over again."Dorothea stood obediently, her rabbit tucked under her arm, its long ears brushing against the measuring tape. The clerk smiled, commenting on how well-behaved the little girl was. Dorothea didn't look up; she simply tucked the rabbit’s ears into her palm.After leaving the tailor, Avery realized Dorothea’s shoes had also become too tight. There was a mall near the school, less than a ten-minute walk away. She hesitated for a moment before messaging Dominic: [Taking Dorothea to the mall for shoes. We’ll be back soon.]Man of Few Words: Drake is nearby. Let

The New Year holidays came to an end. It was Dorothea’s first day back at school.At 3:20 PM, Avery arrived ten minutes early, parking her car on the opposite side of the street. The moment she killed the engine, she saw it—a dark business van parked to the right of the school gates, less than twenty meters from the entrance. The windows were tinted so heavily she couldn't see inside.The engine was running, white exhaust puffing rhythmically from the tailpipe.She stared at the van, her fingers tightening slowly around the steering wheel. Her heartbeat grew deafening in the silence of the car.She remembered now. That van had been there frequently before the break. The license plate ended in V95. She had asked the gatekeeper about it once; he didn't recognize it as a parent’s vehicle. Besides, parents didn't park there, and they didn't leave their engines idling while they waited.Dorothea emerged from the school gates. Avery tap
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 45 Echoes of the Abyss
The moment Victor stepped into the office, the air was vacuumed out of the room.Avery shrank behind the curtain, holding her breath. Victor wore a heavy dark coat, an unlit cigar clamped between his fingers. His gaze raked across the office, pausing briefly on the corner where she stood.A cold shiver raced down Avery’s spine."You cut two of my ships on that North Port line," Victor said, standing before the desk rather than sitting. "Locking down Adrian’s cold chain—that’s your business with the Maurices. But you seized my freighter and left my cargo drifting in international waters for three days. Kessler, are you trying to flip the table?"Dominic didn't look up. He leaned back in his leather chair, idly twirling a black-and-gold fountain pen."The table is right here." He lifted his eyes, the gray depths freezing. "If you want to flip it, try me."Victor let out a dry laugh. "Are you investigating my cargo now?""Not interested." Dominic set the pen down and leaned forward sligh
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 44 Nonexistent Coincidences
Lately, Avery had begun to notice things she had previously overlooked.Dorothea sat at the dining table, her fork prodding a strawberry as her brow furrowed tightly—the left side pressing down while the right arched slightly upward.Avery’s hand, holding a glass of water, froze mid-air. She had seen this expression countless times. It was exactly how Dominic looked when he was irritated by contracts worth hundreds of millions.Then came the gesture—Dorothea set down her fork, refusing to answer Mrs. Cooper’s question. Her lips pulled downward into a frown as she shifted her gaze out the window. Then, she raised her right hand, curling her index finger and tapping it twice just below her bottom lip.Previously, Avery had dismissed it as mere imitation. But Dominic and Dorothea spent precious little time together; in fact, they mostly went out of their way to avoid each other.This overlap in mannerisms could only stem from one thing—genetics.It wasn't just the expressions and gestur
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 43 She Told a Li
[Guess what! I changed my flight!!! Meet me at our old spot this afternoon. You owe me a dinner, and I’m collecting today.]The string of exclamation points from Sophia felt like a defiant beam of sunlight, cutting right through Avery’s gloom. For the first time in days, the high-tension wire in her brain slackened. Thinking of Sophia, a small smile tugged at Avery’s lips; she could almost hear her friend’s fast-paced, laugh-filled grumbling through the screen.She quickly typed back: "No problem. Send me the address. I’m heading out now."Setting her phone down, Avery sat at her vanity. The woman in the mirror looked weary. She picked up a comb and pulled it through her hair; the resistance at the dry ends made her wince. She hadn't spared a thought for her appearance in months. She used a blow dryer to coax some life back into the strands, letting them fall loosely over her shoulders until she looked halfway presentable.She dabbed a bit of concealer over the dark circles under her
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 42 Occasional Privileges
Marcus sent a short message: North Port Parking Lot 3, Level B2. Meet me in two hours. Come alone.Avery checked the location. It was a derelict parking garage near the old industrial zone, not far from White Oak. No cameras. No security. It was a place designed for secret meetings or for someone to disappear.By 10:45 PM, she arrived.The ground level held only a few cars thick with dust; Level B1 was an empty concrete cavern. She parked her car near the B2 entrance, keeping the engine running.In the southeast corner of B2, a horn blared once. A white cargo van flashed its headlights. Avery stepped out of her car, her footsteps echoing off the damp walls. The air was heavy with the smell of stagnant oil and rot.Marcus leaned out from the side of the van. He had been beaten; his left cheekbone was a dark shade of purple, and his lip was split open."You were attacked?" Avery asked."Not today," Marcus coughed twice. "Someone tossed my office a few days ago. I wasn't there, so they j
