Back in His Arms, Back in His Game... a Billionaire's Price의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

The ICU hallway was quiet, broken only by the soft hum of monitors inside. Sebastian waited outside, eyes on the door. He had already sent Milton and the courier, taking every step to ensure the rare reagent reached Charlotte without delay. Now all that was left was to wait.Downstairs at the hospital entrance, Milton and the courier rushed in, carrying a secure cooler and clearance papers. Milton’s face was tense but controlled, his movements precise. Regina and the nurses met them immediately, confirming the paperwork and checking the cooler’s seal. Every motion was swift, exact and focused on getting the contents to the sterile room safely.The nurses carefully carried the cooler to Alina’s prepared area. She checked the reagent one last time before it was moved into the sterile zone. Her instructions were calm, clear, and precise, keeping the team focused and the process steady.Sebastian stayed in the hallway, his phone in hand, monitoring communications and giving directions as

In the stillness of the hospital, a boy with a laptop, a man behind a screen, and an analyst on another floor were about to collide, none of them knowing just how personal the fight would become.Across the mile, in a small room lit by one monitor, Hangman worked. Code streamed down the screen like green rain. A soft ping cut the silence:TRACE DETECTED.Hangman's fingers froze. No one should have been able to find him.Another alert flashed. Not corporate noise. Not random probing. This was clean, sharp, slipping through encryption like a blade.Hangman’s real name had long vanished into the shadows of the web. He moved through private servers like a ghost, taking untraceable jobs, but this one was different. Someone with deep pockets had hired him to track Sebastian Vaughn, the elusive billionaire with too many secrets and too much security. The pay was too high to refuse.Staring at the trace, he realized the hunter had become the hunted.He exhaled, a thin smile forming. "Alright,

The ward was quiet, wrapped in glass and steel, holding secrets the way Alina once did. One of those secrets was about to slip free.Alina sat at Charlotte’s bedside, eyes on the monitors and the steady rhythm of her daughter’s breathing. Charlotte’s color was better, her vitals climbing back to normal. The machines offered a quiet reassurance, until Alina’s phone vibrated.A red alert pulsed up the screen:BREACH DETECTED — PRIORITY ALERT.Her chest tightened. The hospital system was designed to withstand heavy attacks. For an alert to reach her personal device, someone had pushed far past normal probes. She looked at Charlotte, then toward the door.“Regina,” she called softly.Regina entered, worry in her face. “What’s wrong?”“Stay with her. Don’t leave her. Call me if anything changes.”Regina nodded. “Go. I’ve got her.”Alina closed the door and locked it out of habit. The office lights hummed as her monitors woke, filling the room with network maps and code flashing amber and r

The hospital moved in its usual rhythm, but someone was already a step ahead and Nathaniel had to make sure that whoever it was didn’t find anything else.At the entrance, Ivan stepped up to the employee screen and swiped an ID card with practiced ease. The photo and barcode were perfect; the scanner beeped green. The security guard barely looked up from his clipboard before waving him through.A passing nurse slowed, brow raised. “You’re new?”Ivan offered a polite half-smile, still walking. “Just assigned today. Night shift’s short-staffed.”She nodded and moved on, seeing only another overworked tech filling a gap.Once the corridor cleared, Ivan slipped into a quieter hallway toward the lab. The hum of equipment and the fluorescent light welcomed him. He scanned the cameras, noted blind spots, then sat at a terminal. Hangman’s instructions buzzed in his ear, folders to open, keywords to search, logs to skim. Ivan worked carefully, moving through patient records, internal files, an

Sam arrived quietly at the hospital, calm and authoritative. No arrogance, no show, just the weight of experience. Though not part of Sebastian’s inner circle, everyone knew his history: standing with Alina through the twins’ birth, keeping secrets when it mattered, appearing whenever steady hands were needed. His reputation made him a force few would dare challenge.He fell in step with Milton and Sebastian, expression steady. “"We're ready for extraction,” he said, low and precise. “Ivan goes to a warehouse on the outskirts of Marlowe, isolated, watched, and secure. No one gets near him without our knowledge."Sebastian's jaw tightened. "How secure?"“Maximum,” Sam said. “Minimal personnel, controlled access, no digital traces. My team will escort him. Milton can join with a few of your men. Countermeasures ready if anyone tries to track or intercept.”Milton keyed his mic. "Perimeter's locked down, sir. Route's clear. We move now, quiet and clean. No mistakes."Sebastian checked th
