When Tricia knocked on the door of Mark Coleman’s apartment, she almost turned around.

But the door opened before she could change her mind.

Mark looked surprised.

“Tricia?”

“I needed to see you.”

He stepped aside and let her in. The apartment was quiet, dimly lit except for a lamp in the corner. Mark closed the door behind her.

“So,” he said, crossing his arms, “what’s this about?”

Tricia hesitated.

“I spoke with Raymond.”

The moment she said his name, Mark’s expression changed.

His jaw tighte

  • WEBS OF FORBIDDEN ENTANGLEMENT   Chapter 64: The Edge of Knowing

    The corridor leading into the medical wing carried a different kind of silence, one that did not feel empty, but anticipatory, as though the walls themselves were aware that something irreversible was about to unfold within them, something that would not simply pass through this space, but leave a mark upon everyone who entered it.Raymond walked beside General Watson without speaking, his stride measured, controlled, though there was a tension in the set of his shoulders that betrayed the storm beneath the surface, a quiet but relentless pull between what he hoped to hear and what he feared might already be waiting for him behind those doors. His thoughts did not move in scattered fragments, but in heavy, deliberate currents, each one circling the same centre, the same question that had followed him from the moment he first learned of the pregnancy, through every conversation, every revelation, every confrontation that had led him here.What if.Not a question of possibility anymore

    The words did not simply land.They detonated.Not with noise, not with chaos, but with a quiet, devastating precision that altered the balance of everything in the room, shifting it from tension into something far more fragile, far more dangerous, because uncertainty had just been replaced with the promise of answers, and answers, in this moment, carried consequences none of them could fully contain.“They have preliminary results.”No one moved. Not immediately.Because movement would mean reaction, and reaction would mean accepting that the moment they had all been circling, resisting, delaying in different ways, had finally arrived ahead of its time, uninvited, unprepared for, and entirely irreversible.General Watson was the first to respond, though even his composure bore the faintest trace of strain, not visible to most, but present in the slight tightening of his jaw, in the fractional pause before he spoke.“Preliminary is not final,” he said.The officer nodded quickly.“Yes

  • WEBS OF FORBIDDEN ENTANGLEMENT   Chapter 62: Authority and Fire

    The shift in the room was immediate.Not loud, not dramatic, but absolute.General Watson’s presence did not need volume to command attention; it carried its own gravity, the kind that altered the atmosphere the moment he crossed the threshold, drawing an invisible line that neither man could ignore, even if neither was willing to step back from where they stood.“That’s enough.”The words were not repeated. They did not need to be.Raymond did not turn immediately, his gaze still locked on Mark as though breaking that contact would mean surrendering something he was not prepared to yield. His breathing remained controlled, but there was a tightness beneath it now, a strain that had not been there before, sharpened by everything that had been said, by everything that still remained unresolved.Mark, on the other hand, leaned back slowly in his chair, not in submission, but in deliberate acknowledgment of the shift in authority, his hands returning to a relaxed position on the table, t

  • WEBS OF FORBIDDEN ENTANGLEMENT   Chapter 61: Lines That Cannot Be Redrawn

    The words did not settle.They did not fade into the silence or soften with time, but remained suspended between them, sharp and unyielding, as though they had taken on a weight of their own, pressing against the air, against the walls, against everything that had been holding the moment together.“She’s carrying my child.”Mark did not repeat it. He did not need to.The statement had already done what it was meant to do.Raymond stood still, his gaze fixed on him, though something beneath that stillness shifted immediately, something controlled yet unmistakably volatile, like a fault line cracking beneath a surface that had, until now, held under pressure.For a brief moment, it seemed as though he might respond.That words would come. But they did not.Instead, he took a slow breath, his chest rising and falling with deliberate control, as though he were forcing his body to remain where it was, to resist the instinct that had surged forward the instant those words had been spoken.W

  • WEBS OF FORBIDDEN ENTANGLEMENT   Chapter 60: The Man Who Waits

    The corridor outside the holding room carried a silence that felt deliberate, constructed, as though every sound had been stripped away to ensure that what would happen within those walls would remain contained, controlled, and unseen by the world beyond it. Mark sat alone.The chair beneath him was solid, unyielding, bolted to the floor in a way that made movement feel restricted even when he was not trying to move, and the table in front of him bore the faint marks of previous occupants, shallow scratches and worn edges that spoke of tension, of questions asked and answers resisted.He had not been told anything. No one had come in to explain. No one had prepared him.And yet, he knew.It was not logic alone that told him, nor was it the routine of military procedure, though both played their part. It was something deeper, something instinctive, the kind of awareness that came from understanding how events unfolded when they reached a certain point, when silence gave way to action,

    The words did not fade after they were spoken.They remained in the room, suspended in the air like something alive, something waiting to take shape in the silence that followed.“Colonel Raymond has formally requested to see Captain Mark.”Tricia felt the impact before she fully processed the meaning, her breath catching sharply in her chest as though her body had recognised the danger of that sentence before her mind could organise it into thought. Her fingers tightened instinctively against her abdomen, not in fear alone, but in a protective reflex that had become second nature, as though every shift in the world around her now passed first through the quiet, fragile lives she carried within her.Her father did not react immediately.General Watson stood still for a fraction longer than usual, his expression unreadable, though something in his posture sharpened, something subtle yet unmistakable that signalled the shift from private concern to controlled response. His mind was a

    For a moment after the gunshot, the entire warehouse fell into a stunned silence. The echo of the blast seemed to hang in the air. Then came the sound that shattered everything.The soft, broken gasp of Tricia collapsing.Her chair tipped slightly as her body slumped forward, the ropes holding her

    The warehouse was cold and silent except for the faint hum of a loose lightbulb swinging above the center of the room. Dust floated through the weak light.Two figures were tied to metal chairs beneath it.Raymond slowly lifted his head, consciousness returning in painful waves. His skull throbbed

    The evening was unusually quiet.Inside his house, Raymond moved calmly between the living room and the small study near the window, gathering a few things for the short trip he had planned. A travel bag sat half-packed on the couch, clothes neatly folded, a map tucked into one side pocket.The get

    Mark Coleman barely slept that night. The thought kept circling his mind like a predator stalking its prey.Raymond and Tricia.A getaway.Alone.Every time he pictured it, something inside him twisted violently. He imagined them walking together somewhere quiet, Raymond speaking softly to her, Tri
