CHAPTER 91

Daniel's pov I knew something wasn’t adding up.Ethan was reckless lately, and I knew it. His movements had become sharper, less controlled, and I had already accounted for that in the plan. But the deeper I went into his financial trail, the more something felt off.It wasn’t just him.At first, I thought it was just pressure making him sloppy. That would have made sense. People like Ethan didn’t handle loss well, and when control started slipping, they compensated badly. But this wasn't just panic.There was a structure behind it.I sat in the strategy room, the lights dimmed slightly, screens open in front of me with layers of data pulled from different sources. Every transaction, every redirected fund, every hidden account I had already uncovered was laid out clearly.And still, something didn’t fit.I leaned back slightly, staring at the screen as I ran through the timeline again. Ethan’s accounts had always been complex, but they followed a pattern. A predictable one, even when

CHAPTER 92

Daniel's pov I was still trying to come over the shock of the connection of Ethan's misconduct with Victoria when a message came through my phone. It was from Eunice."We need to finish this." There was no location at first, then another message followed seconds later with a hotel name and a suite number. I stared at the screen for a moment longer than necessary, then locked my phone.I arrived ten minutes late on purpose, and I knew it. It wasn’t about making a statement. It was about control. Eunice worked best when she set the pace, and I wasn’t going to give her that.The suite was quiet when I stepped in. She was already there, standing near the window with a glass in her hand, her back partially turned.“You’re late,” she said without looking at me.“I didn’t need to rush here. You choose to arrive early”She turned then, her expression calm, like she had expected that answer. “You used to.”“I don’t anymore and I think I made it clear the last time we had a conversation.”T

CHAPTER 93

Daniel's povI turned back slowly to look at Eunice after I heard her call my name. She hadn’t moved. She was still standing in the same spot.“This is where it ends,” I said.The words didn’t echo, they didn’t carry weight the way they used to, and I knew why. Because I wasn’t trying to convince her anymore. I was stating something that had already been decided.She watched me, her expression barely shifting, but I saw the moment it registered.“You’ve said that before,” she replied, and her tone stayed calm, but it lacked something it used to have which is control.“Not like this,” I said.I didn’t move closer to her, and I didn’t step back either. I stayed exactly where I was because there was no need to adjust anything. The distance between us felt right, and I knew it.She studied me for a second longer, like she was trying to find the version of me she remembered, the one that would react differently, the one that would stay longer than necessary.He wasn’t there anymore.“You t

CHAPTER 94

Author’s pov#3rd person’s POV#The house was quiet when Daniel got back. He stepped in without making a sound, closing the door behind him carefully. His movements were slow, and he knew it wasn’t because he was tired. It was because his mind hadn’t slowed down since he left.The conversation with Eunice hadn’t followed him in the way it used to. It wasn’t replaying in his head, and he knew that.But it had left something behind.He loosened his tie slightly as he walked further into the house, his steps quiet against the floor. The air felt still, and for a moment, he considered going straight to his room, ending the day without another conversation, without another shift.But then he saw the light on and the study room door was slightly open.He didn’t stop immediately, but he didn’t ignore it either. Because he already knew who was inside.Jocelyn doesn't sleep early when there was work left, and he knew it. She stayed until things were settled, until everything was where it neede

CHAPTER 95

Jocelyn's povThe room felt too quiet, not empty, just quiet. The kind of quiet that didn’t distract you from your thoughts, the kind that made everything louder instead. I closed the door behind me slowly and leaned against it for a second before stepping further inside.I should have been tired.It had been a long day, and I knew it. The event, the tension, the constant movement, the way everything kept unfolding without pause. Any other day, I would have gone straight to bed and forced myself to rest.But tonight wasn’t like that.Tonight, my mind refused to settle.I walked toward the bed but didn’t sit immediately. I moved past it, then stopped near the window, staring out without really seeing anything. It was because I wasn’t focused on them. I was thinking about Daniel.That thought came easily now, and I knew it. It didn’t feel forced, it didn’t feel like something I had to push away the moment it surfaced. It stayed.And that alone was different.I let out a slow breath, cr

CHAPTER 96

Jocelyn's povI woke up earlier than usual, and I knew I hadn’t really slept.My mind had been restless through the night, and even when I closed my eyes, the thoughts didn’t stop. They just slowed down enough for me to drift in and out of sleep without fully settling. By the time morning came, I was already awake before I opened my eyes.For a moment, I stayed still, staring at the ceiling as everything from the night before came back.The conversation I had with myself. My acceptance to whatever I'm feeling.I let out a slow breath and turned my head slightly, expecting to hear movement somewhere in the house, something that would tell me he was already up. There was nothing.The silence felt different this morning.I pushed the covers back and sat up, running a hand through my hair as I tried to shake off the lingering weight in my chest. It didn’t leave completely, and I knew it wouldn’t.I stood up and moved quickly, getting ready without thinking too much about it. I decided to

CHAPTER 97

Daniel's povI left the house earlier than usual, and I knew I should have said something to Jocelyn but I was so in a hurry.At the time, it didn’t feel necessary. The meeting had been scheduled late, the board wanted everything finalized before the next phase, and I needed to be there before anyone else arrived. Still, as I sat at the head of the table now, listening to numbers and projections being presented, that thought hadn’t left.I should have told her. I should have informed her. I'm so sure she would be troubled about my absence.It wasn’t a mistake I usually made. I was precise with information, deliberate with communication, and I knew that. But this morning, I left without saying anything, and it didn’t sit right with me.“Mr. Steele?”The voice pulled me back.I looked up, realizing the room had gone quiet.“Yes,” I said.“We were waiting for your confirmation on the allocation,” one of the board members said.I glanced at the screen in front of me.“Proceed,” I replied

CHAPTER 98

Daniel's pov The moment I ended that call, everything inside me shifted, and I knew it. I moved without thinking, without stopping, and by the time I reached the car, my hand was already on the door.I got in and started the engine immediately, and I didn’t wait I drove straight home.The drive back felt longer than it should have, and I knew it wasn’t the distance. My hands tightened around the steering wheel as I sped through the road, ignoring everything that didn’t matter. .All I could hear was that one sentence."She’s been taken." My hands gripped the steering tightly as I pressed harder on the accelerator, and I knew I was pushing the limits, but I didn’t slow down. I couldn’t. Every second felt wasted, every delay felt like something slipping further out of reach, and I wasn’t going to sit through it.I should have been there. That thought hit harder than anything else. I should have told her I was leaving early. I should have checked the house if it was safe before leaving

CHAPTER 99

Daniel's pov I didn’t calm down after leaving their house, and I knew I wouldn’t, not on the drive back, not when I got home, and not when I was alone. I kept both hands on the steering wheel, tighter than necessary, and I didn’t loosen my grip because it kept me grounded, and right now, I needed anything that kept me from slipping into something reckless.Thinking clearly was the only thing that mattered now. The road blurred slightly as I drove faster than I should have, but I didn’t slow down. I didn’t want to. Every second I spent moving forward felt like I was closing distance on something I hadn’t even fully defined yet, but I already knew the direction.My phone was already in my hand before I even consciously decided to use it. I dialed the first number. It rang once. Then it picked up.“I need everything active right now,” I said immediately, not waiting for any greeting or confirmation. “Now.”A pause followed.“Yes, sir.”“I want every available unit on this,” I continued

CHAPTER 100

Jocelyn's pov Pain dragged me out of unconsciousness before anything else had the chance to make sense, and it settled heavily at the back of my head in a way that made it difficult to think clearly at first. I didn’t move immediately because I knew I shouldn’t, and instead I stayed still, focusing on my breathing while my surroundings slowly came into focus.Something was wrong, and I knew it even before I opened my eyes.The awareness came gradually, starting with the tension in my body and then settling fully when I felt the restraint around my wrists. The rope pressed tightly against my skin, rough enough to make it clear that it wasn’t temporary, and when I shifted slightly, it pulled harder, confirming what I already suspected.I was tied to a chair.The memory followed soon after, I remembered stepping outside, expecting to see Daniel, and then the sudden movement of the van, the men, the force with which they grabbed me, and the sound of gunfire that came too quickly for me t
