The Return Of Killian Dante Chapter 25: Someone Else's Game
The office fell silent except for the reporter's voice, still cycling through the same three facts dressed up in increasingly urgent language — missing, struggle, no suspect named. Elias hadn't moved from his chair, staring at the screen like it might correct itself if he waited long enough."If Jack's gone," Elias said finally, "then whoever took him already knows about Meridian Holdings. Which means my two days just became considerably less than that.""Or it has nothing to do with the money." Killian was already running through the list of people with a reason to want Jack Moore removed, and the list was longer than it should have been for a man who'd faked his own death to avoid exactly this kind of attention. "Sarto works for whoever pays him. If someone paid him more to take Jack instead of protect him—""Sarto wouldn't turn on a client mid-contract. It would end his business permanently. No one in that world would ever hire him again." Elias's jaw tightened. "Which means this w
The Return Of Killian Dante Chapter 24: The Man Who Knew Too Soon
Elias Frank's office sat on the ninth floor — one level below Cassandra's, close enough to the center of power to matter, far enough to look modest. Killian didn't wait for an escort. He walked straight through the glass doors while Elias was mid-sentence on a call, and simply stood there until the man hung up."Mr. Dante." Elias rose from his desk, smoothing his tie, composure sliding into place a half-second too smoothly. "I wasn't expecting you in person.""You warned me about Sarto two hours before anyone else in this building knew his name." Killian didn't sit. "I want to know how."Elias's expression flickered — not guilt exactly, something closer to a man recalculating how much to admit. "I have contacts who monitor threats against this company's interests. You're currently tangled up in Ashbourne Group's most public scandal in a decade. Anything that touches Jack Moore touches us.""That's not an answer. That's a deflection dressed up as one." Killian took a slow step closer,
The Return Of Killian Dante Chapter 23: Inside The Ashbourne Walls
The Ashbourne Group lobby hadn't changed in two years — the same marble, the same oversized company crest hanging behind reception, the same hush that money bought when it wanted to feel important. What had changed was the way people looked at Killian when he walked through the doors this time.Nobody stopped him. A junior receptionist who couldn't have been older than twenty-two actually stood halfway up from her desk, phone already lifting to snap a photo before she caught herself and sat back down, cheeks flushing."Mr. Dante." Her voice cracked slightly on his name. "Is — is there someone I can call up for you?""Diane Ashbourne. Tell her it's urgent."She was already dialing before he'd finished the sentence.He rode the elevator up alone, the ten floors ticking past in silence, running Elias Frank's warning against the strange, careful text that had followed it. Someone inside this building — someone with access to Diane's private terminal, someone who understood exactly how to
The Return Of Killian Dante Chapter 22: Sarto's Reach
"Who's Sarto?" Sawyer's voice had gone thin, the fear she'd walked in with sharpening into something closer to panic now that Killian's calm had cracked into urgency."Someone Jack apparently pays to make problems disappear." Killian steered her away from the glass front of the lobby, out of any sightline from the street. "Chen — get her to the service elevator. I want her somewhere that isn't a documented guest room."Chen was already moving, a hand light on Sawyer's shoulder, guiding her toward the staff corridor with the kind of unhurried authority that made people follow without thinking to argue. "This way. Quickly, not frantically. Frantic gets noticed."Sawyer went, glancing back once at Killian. "What about you?""I'm not the one they're worried about finding." Killian's eyes stayed on the street beyond the glass, though the sedan was long gone. "You are. You heard something you weren't supposed to hear, and now you're the only living proof Jack said the word 'accident' out lo
The Return Of Killian Dante Chapter 21: Names on a List
The email from Elias Frank arrived at 7:52 a.m., exactly as promised. Killian read it twice before he let himself react to any of it.Three names. Three phone numbers, each attached to a call log time-stamped between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. — the same window Jack had supposedly spent asleep beside Cassandra. One number belonged to a private security contractor whose corporate filing listed "asset recovery and personal protection services" as its business, language vague enough to mean almost anything. The second belonged to a man named Victor Sarto, no public business listing at all, just a name that made Chen go very still when Killian read it aloud."You know him," Killian said."I know of him." Chen's voice had lost its usual warmth. "Sarto doesn't do intimidation. He does removal. If Jack Moore is calling a man like that at three in the morning, he's not planning to scare you off, Killian. He's planning to make sure there's no one left to scare."The third number had no name attached at
The Return Of Killian Dante Chapter 20: The Man in the Black Sedan
Killian felt the eyes on him before he saw the car.It was a habit Deadmoo had beaten into him early — the low hum of attention at the back of the neck, the difference between a stranger's glance and a stranger's watching. He'd learned to trust it the hard way, usually right before someone tried to put a shiv between his ribs during his first six months inside.He didn't turn around. He crossed the hotel's side entrance at the same unhurried pace he'd kept the whole walk back from the warehouse, Chen a half-step behind him, still favoring the wrist that had spent three days zip-tied."You've noticed him too," Chen said quietly, not looking toward the black sedan parked across the street."Since the corner of Fifth." Killian didn't break stride. "Whoever he's working for wanted to be seen eventually. He's not hiding well enough for someone actually trying to stay invisible.""Reyes doesn't waste resources on sloppy surveillance.""Then he's not Reyes's." Killian pushed through the revo
