War God’s Gentle Vow Chapter 7: Nothing Else
The first thing Elena was aware of was the ceiling.White. Clean. Not hers.She lay still for a moment just staring at it while her mind found its way back. Then everything came at once. The bar. The night air. The alley. Hands on her arms. And she sat up fast.Unfamiliar room. Unfamiliar walls. Her shoes were placed neatly beside the bed. Her jacket folded on the chair.And a man.Lying on the other side of the bed. Large. Breathing slowly. Eyes closed.The worst thought came immediately.Her eyes moved to the desk.A bottle of wine sitting there. Barely touched.She got off the bed quietly. She Picked it up. Walked around to his side and stood over him.She tapped him with the bottle. Once. Twice.“You pervert.” Her voice came out low and shaking. “Wake up and tell me what you did to me.”Alexander’s body stretched. The long slow stretch of someone coming out of deep sleep. Arms going wide. Then his eyes opened.A bottle was pointing directly at his face.He sat up fast. Both hands

The laugh started small and built into something loud and genuine. The laugh of a man who has just heard something he finds truly funny. He turned to his group with his arms spread wide and two of them laughed along.“Sixty seconds.” He kept laughing when he turned back. “You walked in here alone. Kid, you really don’t know who you’re dealing with.” He reached behind him and drew a knife. The blade flashed briefly under the street light. “I’m telling you one last time. Walk away before this becomes something you cannot come back from.” Alexander looked at him. Then he glanced down at Elena. She was still conscious, but her eyes were half-open and not focusing properly. She could tell something was happening around her but she couldn’t make sense of what. She was past the point of being able to help herself. He looked back at the leader. “Time’s up,” he said. And he took his hands out of his pockets. It was not a long fight. The leader came first. Fast and sure of himself. He w
War God’s Gentle Vow Chapter 5 — One Word
Elena put the phone down after her father’s call and sat very still for a moment. Then she stood up. She paced the room slowly. Back and forth. Her mind turning over everything and finding nowhere to land. The contract. Grace is still somewhere in the building. The access log. The legal team. Her father’s voice on the phone. All of it circling without stopping. She sank back into her chair. The frustration was sitting in her chest like something heavy and immovable. She had done everything she could do. Grace was handling everything that could be handled. Every thread that could be followed was already being followed. There was nothing left to do but wait. She sat there without moving. Sleep crept in quietly and carried her away from all of it. She woke slowly. She stretched and blinked and looked around the room. For one confused second, she did not know where she was. Then it came back. All of it. At once. She reached for her phone and checked the time. Five o’
War God’s Gentle Vow Chapter 4 — The Empty Desk
The document was gone before Elena even knew it was missing. She came back to her office at eleven fifteen. She set her portfolio down. She poured herself a glass of water. Then she turned to her desk. She looked at the center of it. She paused. It is supposed to be here. I kept it here. She walked to the desk slowly and started checking. She moved things aside carefully. She opened the drawers one by one. She checked the filing cabinet. She checked every place in the office where a document could be. Nothing. She stood with both hands flat on the desk and looked at the space in front of her. The Meridian contract. Five billion dollars. Eighteen months of work. The biggest deal in Carter Group history. She had finalized it herself. She had packaged it neatly and placed it right there on her desk before her ten o’clock meeting. It was gone. She picked up her phone and called her secretary. A short silence. “I’ll be right there Miss Carter.” Two Hours Earlier While Elena
War God’s Gentle Vow Chapter 3 — The Open Door
Harlan didn’t decide where he was going. He just drove fast because of what is bothering him. His mind was still back in that dining room. His grandfather’s voice. Calm and sure. It seemed as though the decision had been made a long time ago, and tonight was just the formal announcement. He drove until the streets grew quiet and dark. He ended up at a small bar on the far side of town. He had been there twice before. He went inside and sat in the back corner. He started drinking. Not the way he usually drank. This was different. He was drinking with a purpose. After his third drink things felt a little less sharp. After his fifth, the words started coming out of him on their own. “I am the only son.” His glass turned slowly between his hands. “The only son. And it meant nothing to them.” He stared at the table. “They gave it to Elena.” He said it bitterly. Like the words had a bad taste. He didn’t notice the man watching him from across the room. Near the entrance, a
War God’s Gentle Vow Chapter 2 — No Other Option
Harlan was already at the door when his father called his name. He did not stop. He walked fast through the hallway. The front door opened. It closed behind him. Elena’s uncle leaned toward his wife. “He is proving the point isn’t he?”“Robert made the right call,” his wife said quietly. “He had to.” “What did anyone expect?” Margaret, Elena’s grandmother had stayed quiet through all of it. When she finally spoke her voice was calm and steady. “Let him go. Harlan has always been too much of everything that a company like Carter Group cannot afford.”Elena looked at her grandmother for a moment.Then her mind went somewhere else.She was thinking about Harlan. Not the angry young man who had just walked out the door but the little boy he used to be, who used to follow her around the house and always called her his sister without hesitation. asking questions about everything. He had never been given any reason to think she wasn’t her sister. And neither had she. She had g
