Chaper 40: Crossfire

“I'm coming along whether you like it or not.” Zara shot as she barged into Damain’s office.“The hell you are.”Damian’s voice was pure steel. He didn’t even look up when Zara stormed into his office. Aria was hot on her heels, her hand gripping Zara’s arm in a futile attempt to hold her back.He had already shut down the idea, when she said she would come along, when he told them downstairs he had found where they took Jaxon to. This was something dangerous.Zara froze just inside the room, her eyes widening for a fraction of a second. The table in front of Damian was lined with guns—pistols, rifles, magazines, rows of ammunition gleaming under the sharp light. He was calm sliding a magazine into place with the practiced ease of a man who had lived in violence far too long.Aria stopped short too, her breath catching in her throat. Her gaze locked onto him—onto the guns, then back to his face. Shock carved her features, a hundred questions swirling in her wide eyes. But Damian didn’

Chapter 41: Blood and Pain

The stench of sweat, blood, and damp concrete filled the room. Jaxon sat slumped against the chair, his wrists tied and l head bowed. His body screamed with pain, every nerve lit with fire from the beatings, the electric shocks, the endless hours of torment. He could barely open his eyes.He felt like shit.Calder. That fucker. He didn’t even have the balls to do it himself. He had his crows take turns beating him to a pulp, jolting him with wires until his body convulsed and he thought his heart would stop.Jaxon spat blood onto the floor, his chest heaving.Then he heard footsteps. Slow and deliberate.He lifted his swollen eyes and saw Calder walking in, his smug grin already cutting through the room.“How are you holding up, buddy?” Calder’s voice dripped with mockery as he squat in front of Jaxon.Jaxon rasped, “Fuck you.” Then he gathered what little spit he could and spat at Calder’s face.The grin vanished. Calder’s face turned red, his eyes narrowing.“That,” Calder growled,

Chapter 42: Back from the brink

The first thing Jaxon felt was pain. Dull and constant, aching everywhere like his body had been through fire. His throat was so dry it hurt to breathe, and his chest burned with every shallow inhale.For a moment, he thought he was still in that hellhole. Still tied and beaten.Then he felt it, a soft weight against his hand.He turned his head slowly, forcing his eyes open.It was Zara.Her head was resting on the edge of his bed, red hair spilling everywhere, her hand gripping his like it was her lifeline. His fingers twitched before he could stop them.Zara’s head snapped up. Her eyes widened seeing Jaxon staring at her. “Jaxon…” She gasped, then her voice broke. “Oh my God, you’re awake.”Before he could respond, she launched herself into his chest. Pain shot through him and he grunted, his body jerking. “Easy Red.”Zara pulled back immediately, horrified. “I’m sorry—I’m so sorry!” Her hands fluttered uselessly like she wanted to touch him but was afraid she’d break him more.The

Chapter 43: The weight of truth

Two days later, Jaxon sat in the hospital bed, the hospital’s white walls closing in on him. His body still ached, but it wasn’t the pain that gnawed at him—it was Zara. Since he’d woken, she had been… well… different. She wasn't her cheerful self. And for the last two days she rarely spoke with him and made eye contact. He knew she was still blaming herself for what happened to him. But after the kiss they shared, he taught that she would know and understand that he is not blaming her.She had brought up that invincible wall again. And he hated it.The door clicked open and Damian stepped in, his usual composed air filling the room. They exchanged a few words about business before Jaxon finally asked, “Any red on Amelia and Elena?”Damian’s expression darkened. “Not exactly. But I think Aria knows something,” he admitted. “I haven’t had the chance to press her yet, but I will.”Before Jaxon could probe further, the doctor entered with a brisk smile, flipping through his chart. “How
