Veröffentlichungsdatum:
17.05.2026 06:00:00After dinner, Avery remained in Dorothea’s room.
Dorothea sat on the carpet, her paintbrushes clutched in her hand, while Avery held a children’s picture book, reading softly:
"...In the heart of the forest lived a great beast covered in jagged thorns. It captured the only nightingale whose song could soothe its agonizing headaches, locking the bird inside a cage of pure gold."
Avery’s finger paused on the edge of the illustrated page.

The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 109 Sharing the Bed with him
The man lying beside her breathed in a deep, heavy rhythm, but Avery tossed and turned, unable to find sleep. With her eyes closed, the only thing she could hear was the steady, measured cadence of his breathing. The silence of the master bedroom seemed to amplify every sound, making the slow rise and fall of his chest feel incredibly loud in the quiet room.She turned over once more to face him. The weak glow from the nightlight fell across his features, casting long, soft shadows over his sharp jawline. His lips were parted slightly, and his brow remained drawn in a faint, tight knot, as if even in sleep, his mind was still actively computing the dangerous variables of his empire.Avery stared fixedly at his face, her hand hovering directly above the center of his forehead, less than an inch away from his skin. Staring at that deep crease, her fingers felt as if they were being drawn by an invisible thread, lowering toward him millimeter by millimeter. She wanted to smooth out that

Dominic didn't answer right away. Instead, he walked over to the window. Outside, the sky was a dull, heavy gray, choked with thick clouds. Down in the courtyard, the white peacock was huddled on a patch of dead grass, its feathers tucked in so tightly it looked like a stuffed specimen."Specimens. Live ones," he said, his voice completely flat. "The cold-chain line D.S. is running through North Port is being used exclusively to move live specimens."Avery’s heart skipped a beat. "What kind of specimens?"Dominic turned around, his grey eyes locking onto hers with sudden sharpness. "You're crossing the line, Dr. Clair.""I need to know.""No, you don't."He stepped closer, his towering frame casting a long shadow over her."Instead of worrying about secrets you can't reach," he said, looking down at her, "you need to focus on staying in this room. Take care of Dorothea, and make sure your brother's medication is managed. Understood?""You—""Jessica will be staying at the estate for a
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 107 The Bystander
The linen napkin fell from Avery’s fingers, pooling uselessly against the surface of the mahogany table. "What is the precise meaning of your data packet?"An absolute silence collapsed over the dining hall for several prolonged seconds. Jessica Winster deposited her silver utensils flat against the table, lifting her crystal water glass to execute a calculated sip. Her tracking focus cut across the rim of the glass, pinning Avery’s silhouette across the space."Dr. Clair, your department is not required to deploy that specific visual analysis toward my profile." Jessica deposited the glass back onto the table with a clean resonance. "My presence within these coordinates does not track with personal intent. I cleared the outer perimeter simply because his station demanded my deployment."She shifted her chin fractionally toward the apex of the board, indicating Dominic’s position.Dominic offered zero verbal data to close the loop. He remained leaned back against the support of his ch
The Don’s Dangerous Addiction Chapter 106 The Rehearsal Within the Pink Cage
The early morning light did not dispel the heavy atmospheric depression anchoring over the master suite.It was a rare weekend where Dominic refrained from managing the system's corporate formulas, choosing instead to push open the primary door to Dorothea’s room.The child was seated flat on the carpet executing a drawing, a chaotic array of multicolored wax crayons scattered around her perimeter. Dominic descended onto a small, pink plastic chair beside her frame. The furniture was far too narrow for his proportions, forcing his massive body into a highly restricted, coiled posture, his long legs driven directly up against his chest.The arrangement appeared exceptionally awkward, yet his sharp features remained entirely flat as his grey irises tracked the movement of his daughter’s hand.Avery cleared the threshold, escorted by a senior maid. Standing stationary at the entry point to witness the scene, her system registered a brief, ironic trace of amusement.However, the exact nex

Avery’s chest tightened instantly. Before her feet could execute a tactical advance toward the exit, the proximity lighting system outside the threshold flared to life.There was zero time left on the board.This administrative data core was completely streamlined, offering an open horizon devoid of a single storage cabinet or structural barrier capable of shielding her profile. Her clinical focus swept the perimeter in a split second; her only viable path was to force her silhouette straight into the narrow fissure separating two parallel rows of massive server units.The exact millisecond her shoulder blades made contact with the freezing metallic casing of the mainframe, the heavy thermal exhaust generated by the machinery slammed directly into her face.Beep—The security interface processed a verification token.The heavy alloy door glided open, and a sequence of dense, deliberate combat boots began to close in on her coordinates.Avery suspended her respiration completely, the s

"Clause three of the care contract. If your station deploys physical force, my department maintains the authorization to counter the strike."Avery was pinned flat against the mattress, the absolute majority of her physical frame restricted from movement. She ceased her physical struggle, turning her face fractionally to glance at the neural monitoring terminal broadcasting a steady green luminescence from the nightstand."If you choose to terminate my biological line tonight, the system will instantly flag a high-level alert. By tomorrow, the entire city will possess the diagnostic data that the Sovereign has suffered absolute cognitive collapse."Dominic’s respiration executed a sudden freeze.The large palm stabilizing her wrist vibrated violently, his grey irises noticeably fractured and unaligned, yet the unvarnished mockery burning in the deep margins of Avery’s stare still mirrored perfectly within his pupils.The disorganized parameters of their breathing tangled through the s
