The night crawled slowly for everyone who waited.Alina sat in the living room of Thomas and Nora's house, unable to sleep, unable to stay still. She paced to the window every few minutes, staring into the darkness as if an answer might appear from within it.Renee sat on the sofa, laptop open on her lap, eyes fixed on the screen that occasionally flickered with incoming message notifications."Any word?" Alina asked for the third time in an hour."Not yet," Renee answered, her voice staying calm even as she herself began to feel the tension building. "The team out there is checking Blackwood Enterprises' office, David's apartment, and a few other locations that might be relevant."Nora brought in warm tea that no one touched, just set on the table as a gesture of care with nowhere else to go.The clock read two in the morning when Renee's phone finally buzzed.She answered quickly, listening with a serious expression, nodding occasionally even though the person on the other end could

At night, a private investigator named Gerald Brennan had just closed his laptop when he heard a knock at his apartment door.He peered through the peephole. Two men in dark suits stood outside.Gerald had been in the investigation business for decades. His old instincts rang out loud and clear, warning him this wasn't an ordinary visit.He opened the door, but only a crack, the safety chain still fastened."Can I help you?""Mr. Brennan." The man in front smiled politely—too politely. "We just want to talk for a moment. About your recent work.""My work is my clients' private business," Gerald answered, his voice staying steady even as his palm began to sweat against the doorknob."Of course," the man said. "We just wanted to share a bit of information. Your son, Michael. Ninth grade at Roosevelt High, correct?"Gerald's blood ran instantly cold."What business do you have mentioning my son's name?""No particular business," the man answered, his smile never fading. "Just want to mak

Three days had passed since Alina's last conversation with Daniel, and every passing hour felt like its own kind of torture.Alina barely slept. She sat for hours on the porch of the wooden house, the phone Salvatore had given her always within reach, waiting for news that never came.Nora tried to distract her in various ways—inviting her to cook, to knit, to walk in the garden. But Alina only moved like a shadow, her body present while her mind stayed fully fixed on David, somewhere she didn't know where."You need to eat," Nora said gently, setting a bowl of soup in front of Alina, who sat staring blankly toward the hills."I'm not hungry," Alina answered quietly."Your baby needs to eat, even if you don't," Nora said firmly, but with a tone full of affection. "David won't come home any sooner if you let yourself get sick."The words stung, but they also stirred a small awareness in Alina. She picked up the spoon with a trembling hand, forcing herself to swallow a few mouthfuls eve

That night felt longer than any night before it.Adrian sat in the car with Detective Reyes, parking their vehicle a few hundred meters from the suspected property—an old house on the outskirts, surrounded by dense trees that made it nearly invisible from the main road."The warrant's come through," Reyes said, checking the document in his hands one last time. "But remember, Lawson, this is still speculative. If we're wrong, this could mean serious trouble for your career and the credibility of the case you're building.""I know the risk," Adrian answered, his eyes fixed on the house sitting quiet in the distance. "But I also know if we don't try now, David could be moved at any moment once Daniel suspects we're getting close."Reyes nodded, then signaled to his team waiting in the other vehicle.They moved in careful formation, approaching the house from multiple sides, small flashlights dimmed to avoid drawing attention.Adrian followed from behind, his heart pounding with every ste

The message was sent through a channel Marcus rarely used—a line reserved for the most sensitive communications, one whose full details Daniel himself didn't entirely know.It took less than an hour before a reply came.Marcus read the message with a slightly trembling hand before bringing it to Daniel."Tuan," he said, his voice tense. "Russo replied."Daniel looked up from his computer screen. "And?"Marcus handed over the tablet, his expression full of a worry he couldn't fully hide.Daniel read the short message, and for a moment his face remained flat before the corner of his mouth twitched—not a smile of victory, but something more complicated.You just made the biggest mistake of your life, Blackwood. I've faced threats from people far more dangerous than you, and every one of them regretted it. But since you're so eager to play dirty, let's see who's more prepared to lose everything.Alina is no longer just someone I protect out of debt. She's now under my personal protection.
