The air smelled faintly of copper and rot. Wade sat in a leather chair that had long since lost its polish, one hand lazily twirling the remote control for the mounted television, the other drumming against his thigh in rhythm with his laughter. The screen glowed against the dim, underground walls of his hideout. On it: a live CCTV feed of LAX, its arrivals hall buzzing with hundreds of travelers. Businessmen with briefcases. Families dragging toddlers by the wrist. Backpackers yawning into their phones. And in the middle of the crowd, among faces blurred by pixelation and poor camera angles, were his men—Ace, Black, and three others—moving like sharks among minnows.

Four feet to Wade’s left sat Dr. Samuel Reed, tied to a chair so tightly that the ropes had carved deep furrows into his arms. His shirt clung with sweat. His swollen face, mottled with bruises and caked blood, looked more like meat than skin. His right eye had collapsed into a red slit, but the left remained open, locked

  • You Are Mine    Chapter 114

    The air inside the warehouse was a cocktail of iron, rot, and sweat. The smell clung to everything—the damp walls streaked with rust, the old chains dangling from hooks, and the cracked concrete floor spattered with dried blood. The flicker of a single overhead bulb sent shadows crawling across the room, turning faces into twisted masks.Wade stood in the center of it all like a storm contained in human form. His eyes were hard, glittering with rage, and his breathing was jagged, audible even over the faint hum of the television mounted high on the wall. It played the grainy CCTV footage of the airport on repeat—the failed operation, the brown-haired girl who wasn’t Kathrina, the moment his men realized they’d been duped. The soundless images mocked him with every loop.His men lined the walls, silent and trembling. Ace stood to his right, head bowed, a bruise already swelling over his cheekbone. Black leaned against a support beam, his lip split open from where Wade’s hand had connec

  • You Are Mine    Chapter 113

    Adrianna lingered in the hotel lobby longer than she needed to. She had walked Kathrina up to her room, seen her set her small backpack against the polished wood of the wardrobe, fussed over the pillows until the girl finally shooed her away with an embarrassed smile. She’d promised her rest, safety, and a good night’s sleep. And yet, as Adrianna stepped out into the dim, warmly lit lobby, none of the soft jazz playing from the speakers, nor the faint perfume of orchids drifting from the front desk, reached her.But Adrianna’s mind refused to let her relax. Not after those last words: Victoria was the last person with Rhys before his death.Victoria.The syllables pressed on Adrianna’s chest like an invisible weight. Victoria had been silent, unreachable for so long, her name a ghost whispering in the background of their hunt for answers. Now it was no longer a whisper. It was a pointed accusation, a shadow that wouldn’t leave Adrianna’s thoughts alone.She would have to confront her.

    Kath leaned back in his chair, as if the weight of what he was about to say threatened to fold him in two. His hazel eyes shifted toward the window, toward the blur of travelers dragging their lives behind them in suitcases, unaware of how fragile everything could be.He drew in a slow breath. “Before all of this… before Wade, before your father… my dad used to be someone. Someone people admired.”Adrianna tilted her head, listening intently.“He was Dr. Reed,"Kath continued. “Not just a doctor. He was the doctor. The kind of man his peers looked up to, the one who was always called when things went wrong. His name carried weight. People believed he could fix anything. And for a long time, I think he believed it too.”A pause. His lips pressed together.“But then came Maddy.”The name dropped heavy between them, unfamiliar to Adrianna but clearly sacred to him.“She was my dad’s patient. A teenage girl. Fourteen. She had leukemia.” His voice faltered, the words catching like broken gl

  • You Are Mine    Chapter 111

    “She’s on her way to you.”Those were Lance’s last words before he ended the call. No goodbye, no extra explanation, just his voice—low, clipped, deliberate—carrying enough weight to keep her restless. Adrianna tucked the phone into the pocket of her oversized tracksuit jacket, her eyes darting once more around the restaurant.It was a modest but chic place tucked within the corner of the airport. The kind of restaurant that wanted to offer weary travelers a sense of ease, with muted gold lighting and soft music playing under the hum of suitcase wheels and chatter outside the glass wall. The faint scent of roasted coffee beans mixed with fried onions lingered in the air, making her stomach clench.She hadn’t eaten since last night. She told herself it was because she wanted to stay alert, but in truth, it was because her thoughts kept circling back to him.Lance.She sighed softly, rubbing her thumb across the rim of the menu on her table. The waiter had already come twice, asking if
