Shadows on the Road

Amber's father, Malcolm Shaw, was in his home office, going through a file when Marian and Zoe walked in giggling like children who just won a game.

Amber followed in later, quiet, her steps unhurried, her face unreadable as she trailed behind the two of them into the dim-lit room lined with old bookshelves and stacks of paper Malcolm never seemed to finish sorting.

"How'd it go?" Malcolm asked, his gaze filled with expectation, leaning forward slightly over his desk, his

    The abandoned industrial building stood silently beneath the morning sky, surrounded by overgrown weeds, broken fences, and rusted metal containers scattered across the neglected compound.Oliver stepped out of the car before Eric had completely stopped the engine, his eyes moving rapidly across the empty surroundings as he searched for any sign of Amber.The building looked deserted, with its shattered windows and damaged entrance doors hanging loosely against their frames, but the fresh tyre marks across the dusty ground suggested recent activity.Oliver moved inside with Eric close behind him, checking the rooms, narrow corridors, and dark corners where someone might have been held against their will.They searched every accessible section of the building, including the old storage rooms and the abandoned offices, yet none of them contained Amber or another living person.Oliver stopped near a broken doorway and stared at the ground, where several deep tyre impressions crossed the

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 96: The Other Prisoner

    Amber stared into the darkness of the vehicle's hidden compartment, struggling to make sense of the person bound tightly before her.The man's wrists were secured behind his back, while a strip of cloth covered his mouth and prevented him from speaking freely.She leaned closer, studying his face beneath the faint light filtering through the narrow opening.Something about him looked familiar, but the poor lighting and bruises across his face made recognition difficult.Amber carefully reached forward and pulled the cloth away from his mouth, watching him struggle to draw a comfortable breath."Who are you?" Amber whispered, keeping her voice low as she glanced toward the men sitting in the front section.The man coughed several times before raising his head, his eyes widening when he finally recognized the woman crouching beside him."Amber Winchester?" he whispered, his voice rough and strained as he stared at her in disbelief.Amber's eyes widened at the sound of her name, and she

    "What do you think you're doing?" The young cartel operative asked, standing before Amber. "You wanna get yourself killed?"Amber remained frozen for several seconds, her eyes fixed on the masked man standing only a few steps away.Her heartbeat was still racing from the shock of being discovered inside the surveillance room.She slowly straightened herself, forcing her breathing to settle while studying every detail of the stranger's appearance.The man's posture did not resemble the other guards she had encountered since being brought into the facility."What do you care?" Amber said quietly, looking at him closely like someone she has seen before.The young man glanced toward the surveillance monitors, then toward the entrance, carefully checking the room around them.He reached up slowly and removed the mask covering his face, revealing a young man Amber recognized from the Winchester security department."I'm James." He said. "I was once part of Winchester security department. We

    The door to the room where Amber had been locked opened, making her turn toward him.Gabriel Vance walked inside without hurry, his expensive shoes making measured sounds against the cold concrete floor.He stopped several feet away from Amber and looked at her with a small, knowing smile."How're you enjoying your new home?" He asked, smirking.Amber slowly lifted her eyes toward him, refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing fear written across her face."Fuck you." Amber said, looking away.Gabriel chuckled softly, then moved another step forward while watching her carefully from across the room."Oliver will never find you." Gabriel continued regardless. "So, the sooner you get that into your head, the better for you."Amber remained silent for a moment longer, staring toward the opposite wall as her fingers tightened against her arms.She finally looked back at him, studying his face with an expression that carried more anger than fear.Amber turned, walked toward the side

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 93: The Railway Station

    The old railway station stood beneath a dull evening sky, its abandoned platforms covered with weeds and years of neglect.Oliver arrived through the eastern entrance with a small tactical team, moving carefully between rusted pillars and broken sections of the platform.Each member of his team carried his weapon ready, their eyes moving across every dark corner surrounding the silent station.***********At the command center many streets away, Edward remained with Eric, watching the operation through secured communication equipment and tracking every movement.Cornell entered from another direction, keeping his distance from Oliver and the tactical team as he moved through the shadows.His face remained tense while he searched the abandoned station, carrying questions that had followed him since the strange messages began appearing.He wanted to discover who had been controlling him, and every step deeper into the station seemed to bring him closer.Inside an old ticket booth, Corne

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 92: The Price of a Life

    Oliver returned to Sag Harbor with his men, his face hard and unreadable as the security vehicles pulled into the estate.The journey back had given him enough time to think about everything Elizabeth had told him.Amber was alive, but Gabriel Vance still had her somewhere beyond their reach.Worse still, Elizabeth had pointed toward Cornell without directly accusing him of anything.Cornell was already inside the living room when Oliver walked through the entrance.He stood beside the large windows, pretending to study the dark grounds surrounding the estate.Edward sat with Marilyn nearby, while Eric remained standing beside the fireplace with his laptop open.Cornell slowly turned when Oliver entered, his expression carefully arranged into confusion."Where have you been?" Cornell asked, raising his eyebrows. "Everyone has been worried since Amber disappeared."Oliver said nothing immediately. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.He walked toward the table, unlocked
