CHAPTER 132: THE COLONEL'S SECRET

Jared stood in the center of Beck's office for a long moment, watching the younger man's fingers fly across the keys.Beck paused for a split second, looking over his shoulder with wide, innocent eyes. “What’s wrong? Did you say something?”Jared just shook his head, a chuckle bubbling up in his chest. He knew that when Beck was in this state…. "In the zone," the rest of the physical world ceased to exist. He was adorable and infuriating all at once.“Nothing, B.,” he replied, chuckling softly. “Just… get him,”Then he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on the top of Beck’s head.Beck barely even acknowledged the kiss; he was already back to his screen, his lips moving silently as he read through the incoming data.Jared left the office, his own cock still throbbing as he made his way into his own office, sitting down and adjusting his hard length with a frustrated sigh. He had work of his own to do.He pulled up the cloning software Beck had designed for him. It was a masterpiece of

CHAPTER 133: THE GHOST OF ST JUDE’S

“St. Jude’s Psychiatric Institute is at the center of what authorities are calling one of the largest institutional corruption scandals in recent history…” The reporter droned on, her voice excited but professional.“It’s always either bad news or reports of corruption we have nowadays.” The man sneered in disgust, nodding at the TV as Eddie walked into the room.The television murmured in the background, the sound low but sharp enough to cut through the silence of the room.They sat in the armchair, peeling an orange. He did not look away from the screen when he spoke.Without saying anything, Eddie walked past him and stood by the window, watching the news broadcast.He let out a low, choked sound as the news anchor’s voice grew louder and the camera cut to footage of a large stone building with tall gates, barbed wire fencing… a very familiar facade.The partner shifted slightly in his chair. He finally glanced up from the screen, looking at Eddie curiously.His brows raised when

CHAPTER 134: THE SAMARITAN’S CLAWS

The man gasped, his hands clawing at Eddie's wrists. "You... you can't use the phone, you fucking moron. They already have a trace on it. The second you power it up and connect to a network, they will have the coordinates. You’ll lead them right to us, dimwit!"But Edward was past the point of any rational thought; his hands slid up and wrapped around the man’s throat.The partner’s breath cut off in a sharp, wet sound.“I don’t care,” Edward growled, his eyes were wild and fevered now. "Give. Me. My. Phone,"The man choked as Eddie began to squeeze, his thumbs digging into his windpipe with lethal intent. If he didn’t do anything, the crazy bastard might actually kill him.He hated to play the main card up his sleeve, but right now, he had no other option.Suddenly, the man’s entire demeanor changed, and his feeble host persona disappeared. He tucked his chin sharply into the crook of his own elbow, creating a gap for air. And in a fluid move, he rotated his shoulders and brought his

CHAPTER 135: THE WEIGHT OF RANK

“Well, I’ll be damned.”Colonel Miller exclaimed, rising from his desk the moment Jared stepped into the office, a broad grin on his face. “The Jared fucking Lotto,” he said, walking around the desk with his hand already outstretched. “I have to say, when my assistant told me you’d requested an appointment, I thought she was pulling my leg.”Jared took the hand and shook it firmly. “The honor’s mine, sir. I didn’t even know you were aware of me.” Miller barked out a laugh. “Who hasn’t heard of the infamous Phantom Wolf? You are a legend, man.”Jared smirked faintly. “That nickname should’ve died with my enlistment papers.”“Oh, don’t give me that humble bullshit,” Miller said, clapping him on the shoulder as they moved toward the desk. “You disappeared off the radar and then popped back up as the owner of one of the most aggressive private security firms in the country. Your company’s contracts are everywhere.” They sat. “And between you and me,” Miller continued, lowering his voice

CHAPTER 136: FALL OF A TITAN

“He’s finished. Truly and irreversibly finished,” Hayden said with a grim satisfaction that vibrated through the quiet living room.He was sitting on the edge of the sofa with Myla and Beck with him, their eyes were locked on the television screen where the image of Colonel Rudy Miller was being plastered over every major news network.The screen showed Miller, but in a dull jumpsuit instead of his usual pristine, decorated uniform, his head bowed as military police escorted him toward a transport vehicle.The ticker at the bottom of the screen read: COLONEL RUDY MILLER ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF TREASON AND CONSPIRACY IN ST. JUDE’S ESCAPE.“It’s about time,” Beck muttered, leaning against Myla’s shoulder as he watched the fall of a powerful man who had thought himself untouchable. “The world is a little bit cleaner this morning.” Myla sat between them, her hand resting on Hayden’s thigh. She felt a strange, cold relief.Edward Kowalsky had been a ghost haunting her for a while, a shadow

CHAPTER 137: A THIRD SHADOW

“But we may have a problem,” Jared said, looking at Hayden and then at Beck. Their smiles faded as they stared at him expectantly, the air in the room cooling instantly. “Miller cracked at the end when he realized the family wasn't coming to save him,” Jared continued in a somber voice. “He told me that Edward was most likely not working alone. He said there was another man. One who sounded well-educated, wealthy, and highly intelligent.”All their minds immediately flashed towards the “Samaritan” Edward had mentioned in the voice mails they had gotten from his mother.“I knew it. I knew there was no way that so-called Samaritan could be some kind person or friend helping him.” Beck hissed, his voice tight with frustration. “I’ve gone over the breach logs from the old place again and again. The pattern is just too clean and professional. Yeah, I know the motherfucker is trained. But he’s too obsessive and violent.…” He shook his head. “No way is he the one running all that computer

CHAPTER 138: THE DEVIL YOU TRUST

"Baby, dinner’s ready. Let’s eat together while it’s still hot."Rosie’s voice echoed in the cavernous silence of Eddie’s mind, a fragment of a dream that was already dissolving like salt in water. He tried to reach for her, to catch the hem of the floral dress she always wore in his favorite memories, but his arms felt like leaden weights. There was a sharp pressure against his wrists, a coldness that didn't belong in the sun-drenched kitchen of his fantasies.He opened his eyes, and the smell of brewing coffee and the sweet, floral scent of her skin faded into that of air freshener and antiseptic. His body felt wrong. His body felt wrong, and his limbs felt as if they had been filled with wet sand. Even his tongue felt thick and numb in his mouth, as if it had been replaced by a piece of heavy wool.Panic flared instantly, slicing through the fog in his head as he remembered the last thing that had happened before he passed out.Edward squeezed his eyes shut, his mind replaying the

CHAPTER 139: THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE

"Anything? Even a ping?" Hayden’s voice was sharp, cutting through the heavy quiet of Beck’s office.It had been a few days after Miller’s arrest and a week plus since they sent the voicemail to Edward, but till now they had gotten no response. “Am I the only one feeling like something’s wrong?” Myla asked quietly.Jared nodded. “Not just you, baby.” That made her chest tighten.Beck leaned closer to the screen, brows drawing together. “Something else, though.”Hayden turned to him. “What kind of something else?”Beck didn’t look up from the three monitors glowing in front of him, his eyes bloodshot. "The phone came on about an hour ago, for a few minutes, but he didn't call.”“That’s not too weird,” Hayden muttered. “Maybe he is being cautious. Or didn’t check his text and voice mails.”“There was a brief signal spike,” Beck said. “Then, soon after, someone tried to brute-force the encryption on the fake server I set up again. It was a clean, professional probe, but they hit the f

CHAPTER 140: THE PROMISE OF OBEDIENCE

Edward woke to the familiar ache. His wrists burned where the cuffs bit into his skin, and his shoulders throbbed from being held in the same position for too long. The room came into focus slowly, pale walls, dim lights, the steady hum of machines somewhere outside that he no longer bothered trying to identify.Time had become a fluid, hazy thing, marked only by the occasional appearance of the maid who gave him silent sponge baths. He remembered the feeling of wet cloth on his skin and the distant, rhythmic sound of a vacuum cleaner in the hallway, but the rest was a blur of IV bags and stinging injections. The only thing that had helped him survive the blur was Rosie. She had been there when his mind slipped. Sitting beside him. Whispering comforting words to him, stroking his hair, and smiling the way she always did when she wanted to calm him down.Today, however, the fog in his brain had thinned, and his thoughts were sharp and dangerously clear.Edward turned his head weakly,

CHAPTER 141: THE PROMISE OF OBEDIENCE II

"Wh... what is that supposed to mean?" Edward hissed out, as suspicion and panic rose in him.He hated the excited look Kessler had in his eyes as he looked at him.Edward fidgeted, his eyes locked on the pill bottle as if it were about to turn into a viper and strike him. "I’m not taking that. I told you I’d behave."Kessler’s expression darkened, hardening instantly. “I thought we were past this,” he said in a calm but stern voice. “Don’t make me put the IV back in.”Edward’s breath hitched.“I hear this combination is quite dangerous when administered directly into the bloodstream,” Kessler added mildly.“I thought we were past this,” he said quietly. “Don’t make me put the IV back in.”Edward’s breath hitched in fear.“I hear this combination is quite dangerous when administered directly into the bloodstream,” Kessler added mildly. " You wouldn't want anything to happen to you before you get your Rosie back, would you? And relax. It isn’t harmful when taken properly.”Edward watche
