Chapter 41

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-12 23:48:37

McCall’s hands are shaking as he grips the steering wheel tightly, the truck bouncing over the uneven road leading to the warehouse district.

He feels sick to his stomach. The shipment in the back feels heavier than usual, not just because of its weight, but because of what it means.

Another deadline met.

One more month of his daughter's life bought.

He pulls up to a shoe warehouse, the faded sign reading "Murphy's Footwear."

A front for Royce’s drug business.

Taking a deep breath, he climbs out of the truck and walks towards the entrance. It smells of leather and dust, but underneath it all is something else. Something that makes his skin crawl and makes his stomach turn.

"McCall!" Royce's voice booms across the place, as he comes out from the corner, wearing an expensive suit that looks out of place from the dingy and old dusty warehouse with its dirty concrete floors and high ceilings, creepy shadows everywhere.

"You're lucky, old man. Very lucky."

McCall’s throat goes dry as the s

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 45

    Raven steps out of the building to the sight of Royce ahead of her, leaning against his car with his arms folded and he leans away at the sight of her.For the first time, she is happy to see him.Royce's presence gives her a feeling of safety, one that she desperately needs after what she had discovered last night.“Time to go?” He asks with a cocked eyebrow.Pasting a small smile on her face, she nods.“Yes please.”Taking her bag from her, he heads to the passenger side and pulls the door open.“Your carriage awaits,” He says with an easy smile, eliciting a genuine smile out of her.Raven walks behind him, getting in the seat.“Thank you.”He shuts the door gently and rounds to the other side of the car getting in smoothly.She watches all this with a tired smile.Raven has never known Royce to be playful or anything other than uptight, but he seems to be in a good mood now.She glances out of the window as he pulls out of the parking lot and joins the main traffic en route to her

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 44

    The video starts playing, showing herself as she recalls, working on the solution, the professor coming in and seconds later she leaves the lab, then almost immediately, the man moves towards the experiment, filtering it.Her eyes are trained on the screen tracing after his figure as he grabs the wolfsbane extract. The professor takes a glance at the door before putting it in another container as opposed to putting in the trash as he’s supposed to and she frowns.Why is he keeping it?Bile rises to her throat and her frown deepens, disappointment gripping her heart for him as she sees him holding the conical flask of the filtrate under the tap.He did add water to it. Her heart breaks and she can not believe her eyes.Her hard work, all her time and sweat spent in the lab, only for him to ruin it in a second Not only that, she remembers the way he had snapped at her and called her incompetent. He had reduced her value to nothing, making her feel incapable, over something he had done?

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 43

    Moving swiftly, Raven snatches the drive from the computer, unplugging it since she does not have enough time to shut it down.He’s in Linda's office, and it’s only a matter of time until he reaches her, with only a door between them. Her heart pounds in her chest as she ducks under the desk, her grip tight on the drive.The other scent is strangely familiar but she can't place it. Who could he be meeting so late?It was out of working hours, so whoever it is could not be a staff member but she feels as though she knows that person; she just can't remember who the scent belongs to and then a female laugh rings out, and she recognizes that laugh immediately.It’s Claire!Claire had always acted like a bitch to her and she could not imagine her laughing genuinely. But… What is she doing here with the professor, this late and laughing too? The professor isn’t one to be so humorous to his students.The answer to her questions comes very quickly as the sound of lips smacking resounds throu

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 42

    What could have prompted the man to do such a thing, add water to her experiment after the filtration? The question itself seems absurd to her. He has been very on edge about her completing the experiment,why would he add water and ruin the whole thing?It hardly makes sense but if it wasn't the professor, then who was it?She needs to figure it out.Her eyes search around the room for any clues that could help. She stops mid step as she catches the blinking light of a camera at the corner of the room.Yes!How could she have forgotten?There are cameras in the lab. If only she can get access to the footage from the other day, she will easily find out who tampered with her experiment and maybe, she can.She bites her lip in thought, an idea already formulating in her mind.The professor has direct access to the cameras from a computer in his main office. Getting in is not an issue, but there is just one thing stopping her from going right now, Linda.Like her, she knows the professor'

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 40

    Raven follows the trail of blood, from the small spots to an even bigger one, until it disappears entirely.“Whose blood is this?” she asks into the hollow apartment. She takes a glance around her and lets out a short gasp, her heart rate picking up at the sight of the wrecked apartment.It’s a mess, tears in the furniture, scratch marks. There’s an upturned sofa at the other side of the room, the coffee table is broken with shards of glass surrounding it.It’s obvious there’s been a ruckus here, everything is a mess.“Scott?” she calls out into the eerie silence, holding on to the slight hope that maybe, just maybe, her suspicion is false and he is still in the apartment somewhere but the only thing she hears in return is silence and the crunch of broken glass under her sneakers as she moves through the room.“Scott!”She searches through the apartment, yelling his name at every turn.“What happened here?” She quizzes herself, fear for Scott overwhelming her. If that blood is his, he
