I told my father I would be back.

The words tasted hollow as I said them, like a promise made with fingers crossed behind my back. He lay there in the hospital bed, smaller than I remembered, his eyes tired but sharp with fear.

He nodded, squeezing my hand as if he wanted to hold me there, to keep me from walking straight into whatever fire Pierce was planning next.

“I need to stop him,” I said quietly. My father swallowed. “Be careful, Jane.”

I didn’t trust myself to answer, so I just turned a

  • The Heart Never Forgets   Chapter 126

    I walked away from him, the emerald silk of my gown hissing against the stone like a final goodbye.After some steps, I stood perfectly still. After a while, I slowly turned back. I approached him, my heels clicking a steady, determined rhythm on the marble.My voice suddenly filled the air, booming over the speakers for the entire people to hear: "You spent months watching me through a lens, Daniel. Now, I want the whole world to watch me tell you this: I’m not your prop, and I’m not your asset. But if you’re ready to be my equal... then the answer is yes.""Yes," I whispered, the word finally breaking free. "Yes, Daniel. A thousand times."He slid the ring onto my finger, the metal cool and perfect against my skin. As he stood up, he didn't just pull me into a hug; he pulled me into a deep, soul-searing kiss. It was a kiss that tasted of salt and relief, a relatable, grounding heat that wiped away the months of cold screens and tactica

    The city was a sea of shimmering glass and light, a stark contrast to the rubble of the Grand Zenith that had haunted my dreams for months.Tonight was the Grand Gala, the official unveiling of Logan-Riley Global. I stood on the balcony of the new headquarters, the silk of my deep emerald gown rustling in the cool evening breeze. It was a relatable, quiet moment of luxury that felt almost alien after a lifetime of looking over my shoulder.As the Global Chair, I had spent every waking hour dismantling the "throne of corpses" Pierce had promised me. We had fired the corrupt, settled the debts of the exploited, and turned the Foundation into something my father would finally recognize."You're hiding again," a voice said softly behind me.I didn't need to turn to know it was Daniel. The sound of his footsteps was a familiar rhythm now, no longer the heavy thud of a ghost in the dark, but the steady walk of a man who had finally found his ground. He stepped

  • The Heart Never Forgets   Chapter 124

    After the chaotic explosion at the server farm and Pierce’s arrest, a special emergency court had been convened to handle his case with high-priority speed.To my left, Daniel sat like a statue carved from exhaustion. We had spent the last six hours in a frantic, terrifying race to the filtration plant, seconds away from a fail-safe. Now, the adrenaline had drained, leaving only a hollow, relatable ache."All rise," the bailiff’s voice cracked through the tension.Judge Halloway took the bench, her face unreadable, and a mask of judicial iron. Behind her, the jury filed in. I searched their faces, looking for a sign, a flicker of empathy, but they were twelve weary souls who had spent weeks submerged in the darkest corners of human greed.Pierce sat at the defense table, his suit perfectly pressed, though his eyes were sunken pits of malice. He looked like a man who had already accepted his fate but was determined to enjoy the destruction it c

    As he pulled the trigger, the flare shot out like a streak of bright red light.It struck the pressurized cooling line with a metallic clang, and for a heartbeat, the world went white. A deafening roar followed as liquid nitrogen erupted from the fracture, a freezing fog billowing outward like a hungry ghost. The temperature in the server room plummeted instantly, the air turning into a cloud of ice crystals that stung my skin."Daniel, the drive!" I screamed, shielding my eyes.Daniel didn't hesitate. He dove through the freezing mist toward the central console, his movements a blur of desperate intent. I saw Pierce stagger back, the sheer force of the pressure nearly knocking him off his feet.He looked like a madman in the red emergency light, his hair disheveled, his eyes wide with the realization that his empire was turning into an icy tomb.I scrambled toward the secondary terminal, the floor slick with rapidly forming frost. My lungs burned

    The garage was a nightmare of orange heat and choking gray smoke.The smell of burning rubber and spilled gasoline hit me like a physical wall, a relatable, stinging scent that made my eyes water instantly. Daniel instinctively moved to step in front of me, his hand reaching back to shield my chest, but I shoved his arm aside. I didn't have time for the old dance of protector and protected."Marcus!" I screamed over the roar of a car alarm.Through the haze, I saw the man silhouetted against the flames. It was Miller, Pierce’s lead "fixer," a man who lived in the cracks of the law. He looked at us with a cold, detached boredom, his thumb resting on the red button of a heavy industrial detonator."The second ledger belongs to the fire, Ms. Riley," Miller said, his voice barely audible over the crackle of the blaze."Not today," I muttered.I didn't wait for Daniel to coordinate a plan. I grabbed a heavy fire extinguisher from the wall and hurled it with every ounce of strength I had to

    The darkness in the judge’s chambers was absolute, a heavy velvet weight that smelled of panicked breath and old paper.The sirens outside were a screaming chorus, a relatable sound of a city losing its grip on the rule of law. I felt Daniel’s hand find mine in the gloom, his grip firm and steadying, a physical anchor in the chaos."Stay low," Daniel commanded, his voice a low vibration that seemed to settle my racing heart. "Judge, get under the desk. Now!"We moved with a synchronized urgency, the floorboards groaning under our weight. The thumping sound grew louder, a rhythmic, metallic clatter of heavy boots in the corridor. Pierce’s mercenaries weren't just a threat anymore; they were a physical presence, a violent storm breaking against the doors of justice."They're not here for a legal win," I whispered, my back against the cold mahogany of the judge's desk. "They’re here to erase the witnesses before the second ledger can

    The torn edge of the missing page haunted me through the night.I kept staring at the envelope, at my mother’s handwriting, at the way the letter ended mid-sentence, as if she had been interrupted, as if someone suddenly came into the room, as if she never got the chance to finish.By morning, my h

    The envelope sat in my palm like something alive, pulsing with secrets I wasn’t sure I wanted to know. Mrs. Calloway’s words still echoed through my head.“Your father wanted you to have this.”I stood there in her office, unable to speak, unable to even breathe normally. My hands were shaking as I

    The whisper wouldn’t leave my ears.“Mia didn’t run away. She was taken.”The audio file cut to silence, leaving me frozen in the dim glow of my laptop screen, the flash drive still jutting out like a blade. My breath tangled in my throat. Taken. The
