Chapter 83

Damien POV

I stood there, my eyes on the road staring at where the car had been right before it turned out of sight. The smoke and dust the chaos generated couldn’t stop me from seeing her face vividly. The way her eyes sparkled with relief and hope when she saw me. My hand clenched around my weapon so tightly it began to tremble. The screams, radio squelches and running boots all sounded muted like a world that had been left behind.

    Chapter 83Damien POVI stood there, my eyes on the road staring at where the car had been right before it turned out of sight. The smoke and dust the chaos generated couldn’t stop me from seeing her face vividly. The way her eyes sparkled with relief and hope when she saw me. My hand clenched around my weapon so tightly it began to tremble. The screams, radio squelches and running boots all sounded muted like a world that had been left behind.I was enveloped by a dangerous mix of anger and frustration, my breathing turned ragged as its energy coursed through my blood. I took a step, and another step. A thought dinged in my head, I could still catch them. Without thinking I broke into a run, my head replaying vivid images of Selina screaming as she was being bundled into the vehicle. My name sounded like it was being called from the void, I paid it no heed. The next moment I was being hurled to the ground by a force that captured my lower waist and legs. Cain pinned me to the ground

    Chapter 82Selina POVI stayed in the bed watching the door where Sefu had stood some hours ago. His words still echoed in my ears. If you ever need anything…Could he be? I shook the thought out of my head. It was a marathon not a sprint. That kind of unbridled optimism would kill the plan long before it was mature to actually work. I sat upright with an uneasiness I couldn’t quite explain. The compound was far too silent than usual. I didn’t know how to explain it but the quiet was just completely out of place. It wasn’t graveyard silent but the silence was more still than what I had been used to.It was probably the cold I figured, I rubbed my hands together and crossed my legs in a bid to generate heat. I remembered a piece of article that said cold nights were quieter than usual. I shrugged and managed to get my feet on the floor.Two things happened at the same time; the building vibrated so powerfully the windows, there was also a loud bang and bright flash of brightness that

    Chapter 81Damien POVI watched the road through the car wind screen, it was a quiet day. There was barely any traffic and pedestrians were scanty. It was both a tactical advantage and disadvantage, depending on where you stood.Cain and Marcus were in the front, a map held between them, resting on the dashboard as they deliberated on the finer details of the assault plan.I made a point to acknowledge Dean for his effort privately when all this came to a close. Since picking the trail of the flower van, the building has been watched for several hours by my teams. They were being very discreet, it took me a while to spot them. I was able to do so because I knew they were in the vicinity. The chatter coming from the surveillance teams was the security was ligh

    Chapter 80Selina POVI woke much more later in the day. The shadow and grey clouds outside told me it was getting late. I had been out for five hours. My head buzzed slightly as my vision gradually became clear. I winced a bit as I moved my legs off the bed to the ground; there were still shots of pain that fired in my synapses. I rubbed my stomach, greatly relieved nothing had happened to my child.A mother is supposed to protect her child not place the child in harm’s way. I shook my head, now wasn’t the time. I could always punish myself when I got out of here.I tried to be stand up but my body protested and the wobbliness of my legs told me it was too soon.The room looked cleaner and I could smell the

    CHAPTER 79AMORA POV I had read the message more times than I could count. The photograph of Selina, pale and tired was still on my screen. Beneath it, those eleven words that had not stopped living in my chest since they arrived. She's alive because you've been useful. Stay useful.I set the phone face-down on the bed and picked it up again.I had been useful. I had done everything that was asked of me and I was been reminded of it. It was a subtle reminder of what happened when that changed.I tried my investigator at six in the morning but he wasn’t reachable. I tried his assistant at six-fifteen, didn’t go through. The second number he'd given me for emergencies at six-thirty was a dead end too. The silence was so complete it felt deliberate.I put the phone down, and went to the window, trying to think clearly.Going to Damien was the first option that surfaced and the first I dismissed. I almost laughed at the idea. After everything I had done over the past weeks, any version o

    CHAPTER 78ROSALIE POV I hadn't slept so I'd gone to my study instead, turned the lights on and watched the driveway.The phones hadn't stopped ringing since yesterday evening but each call never brought the news I wanted.I had one thread running that nobody else was pulling. Detective Elias Vance had been working a completely separate angle from Damien's team for the past week. I had been waiting for new so when the maid announced him just after eight, I was already standing.He walked in carrying a file thicker than the last one, and I read his face before he opened his mouth. Elias was not a man who showed much but I could tell he looked disturbed in a way I hadn't seen from him before."You found something," I said."I found the man." He sat across from me and set the file on the table between us. "Not just an alias. The man underneath all of them."I sat straighter.He laid out photographs and different identification documents. There were at least four different passports and

    Chapter 4LINA The silence that followed my words was absolute.Even the wind seemed to hold its breath. Damien stood completely still, the color still absent from his face, his jaw slack in a way I had never seen before. He looked, for the first time since I had known him, like a man who had been

    Chapter 3LINAThe cemetery was quiet and empty in the late morning. I had brought fresh lilies-it used to be my mum's favourites, and held them to my chest as I walked the familiar path leading to their graves.I'd been here countless times over the years, but today felt different. Today I was goi
