Chapter 51

JADEN.My phone wouldn’t stop ringing, no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.I’d been in the hospital for barely twenty minutes, and I’d already gotten enough calls to last a lifetime.Before coming here, I’d made sure the Nexus Contract was done and sealed. I pulled strings. I forced the signing to happen by eight this morning. Everything that could’ve dragged me away had already been handled.So why the fuck was Kellan calling me like the building was on fire?Crystal paced the waiting area, restless, wound tight. I could feel her watching me from the corner of her eye.I silenced the phone and slid it into my pocket.If I was going to be here for Jason, then the rest of the world could burn for a few hours.I moved toward her just as she started talking to that asshole, Noah."You should be at work, Noah. You're still new there and..." She was saying, but Noah placed his hands on her shoulders, and I saw the way she physically flinched before relaxing into his touch.

JADEN. Before I could return Kellan’s calls and tear his head off, Rick called back.That was fast.I swiped and answered immediately. “Talk.”Rick didn’t waste time.“You were right to be suspicious,” he said. “I traced Noah’s employment. He’s working for Halcyon Cyber Systems.”My steps slowed, then stopped.“…Halcyon?” I repeated.“Yes.”For a second, I thought I’d misheard him.Halcyon didn’t just hire people. They curated them. That place was locked down tighter than most government facilities. Half the staff had military-grade clearances. The other half were handpicked through circles that didn’t even advertise themselves.“You don’t walk into Halcyon,” I said slowly. “You’re pulled in.”“That’s the problem,” Rick replied. “I couldn’t find any record of him being recruited the usual way.”My jaw tightened. “Meaning?”“Meaning there was no interview. No application. No hiring pipeline. Nothing.”I was quiet. “They weren’t even hiring at the time Noah was onboard

Chapter 53

JADEN.It's been hours already. I kept checking the time like it was a ticking bomb strapped to my chest, every passing minute hammering against my skull until my head throbbed. The hospital lights were too bright, the air was too stale. Even my tie felt like it was choking me now, tight around my neck, making it hard to breathe. I loosened it, then loosened it again, but the pressure didn’t go away. It was inside me.Crystal still hadn’t woken up. The panic attack had taken her down hard, and a new set of doctors had to come to her aid immediately. Since then, she’d been motionless, lashes resting against her cheeks like she was slipping away from me inch by inch. She hadn’t said a word. Hadn’t even stirred.And it scared the hell out of me.As for Jason, I was still so confused as to how the surgery went south. Doctor Norman was the best in the country. He'd never lost any surgery before. He was the kind of man whose name reassured families before he even walked into an oper

Chapter 54

JADEN. It was four in the morning, and Crystal had insisted I go home, freshen up, and head to the office. Especially when that fucker returned from wherever the fuck he'd gone to. I hesitated, but she promised me she'd be fine, and that she’d call if anything changed. The few hours I spent with her, away from Noah and his poisonous presence, made something flutter in my chest. For the first time in days, maybe weeks, I felt like I’d gotten an inch closer to her. Just an inch. But it mattered.She cried on my chest.She let me hold her.For those hours, I was her comfort. Her shield. The only place she leaned.And it felt so fucking good it scared me.See? Noah was the problem. He always had been. Without him crowding her space, without him inserting himself where he didn’t belong, winning Crystal back wouldn’t feel like trying to breathe underwater.I drove home on autopilot, exhaustion clawing at me from the inside.I pushed the door open, and Valerie had to be the first
