Chapter 121

Jax The room felt smaller the longer I stayed inside it.Maybe it wasn't the room. Maybe it was everything Charles had just told me.The safe house was quiet compared to the chaos we had escaped. No gunfire. No screaming. No threats. Just silence. Yet somehow, I felt more overwhelmed sitting in that bedroom than I had while Jackson was holding me captive.My mind kept replaying every conversation I had overheard. Every weird comment. Every lie. Every half-truth. Then there was Nathalie. For months, I had seen her as Charles' fragile first love. A woman who had survived horrible things. A woman everyone seemed determined to protect. Now, maybe she was a ‘victim’ who had become something else entirely.The thought made my head hurt.I paced across the room again. Then again. Then once more.At some point, I realized Charles hadn't moved. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, watching me quietly. Normally, that would've annoyed me. Actually, it still annoyed me. But I w

Jax Sleep never came. I had tried my absolute best to even fake it… you know? Maybe if I closed my eyes for a minute, I’d feel sleepy but no. I had spent most of the night staring at the ceiling of the safe house bedroom, trying to make sense of everything Charles had told me. Every time I thought I had wrapped my head around it, something else made it feel impossible again. Jackson wasn't just a criminal. He wasn't just the man who kidnapped me. According to Charles, he was my grandfather. The word alone felt wrong. Every memory I had of Jackson made the idea harder to accept. By morning, I was exhausted, frustrated, and no closer to understanding what my life had become.I was sitting on the edge of the bed when my phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand. My entire body tensed. The sound wasn't loud, but it immediately put me on edge. I grabbed the phone and looked at the screen. The number wasn't saved, but I already knew who it was. Jackson never used the same contact twice. My

Jax The moment Charles walked out of the room, I continued staring at the door for several seconds. Part of me wanted to follow him. Another part wanted to drag him back and force him to explain whatever had been in that message. The look on his face before he left hadn't been normal. It wasn't the look of a man receiving routine information. It wasn't even the look of someone trying to hide a minor problem. Something had shaken him.The worst part was that he had done exactly what I accused him of doing. He promised there would be no more secrets, then immediately walked away carrying one.I let out a frustrated sigh and rubbed my face. Sitting there wasn't helping. Thinking wasn't helping either. My mind kept bouncing between Jackson, Charles, Nathalie, and the insane revelation that Jackson was apparently my grandfather. Every answer seemed to create three new questions. I stood from the bed and began walking around the room. At first, I didn't have a destination. I simply moved b

Chapter 124

By the time I arrived at the second hideout, I was already exhausted.The drive had been long enough to give me too much time to think, which was never a good thing. Brad had been shot. Jackson was still out there. Nathalie's name kept showing up in places I didn't want it to. And Jax... Jax was somehow sitting right in the middle of every problem I had. The last few days felt like someone had taken my life, shaken it violently, and then thrown the pieces into different directions.That's, technically speaking, the worst state to ever find oneself in… having no control of what happens to or around you.I parked outside the property and stepped out of the vehicle.The hideout looked exactly the way it was supposed to look. It was quiet, hidden and forgettable. Honestly, it was the kind of place people drove past without noticing.The front door opened before I even reached it. Dr. Fernandez stepped outside and immediately frowned."Nice of you to finally show up," he said dryly, crossi

Chapter 125

Charles The moment the driver's door opened, my grip tightened around the pistol.Every possibility ran through my head at once. Jackson's men. A leak. A betrayal. Another trap.Then Ivan stepped out.I lowered the gun immediately."Jesus Christ," I muttered, exhaling sharply. "Are you trying to get yourself shot?"Ivan glanced at the weapon in my hand and smirked."I'm surprised you look worried."Behind me, Fernandez released a breath that sounded suspiciously like a prayer."Oh, thank God," the doctor muttered. "For a second, I thought we were all about to die."Ivan looked past me toward him. "You say that every time you see us.""Because every time I see you people, somebody is bleeding.""Fair point."I holstered the pistol and walked toward Ivan. "What are you doing here?"The amusement faded from his face. That was enough to tell me this wasn't a social visit."I needed to see you.""About what?"Ivan glanced toward the tree line before looking back at me."Jackson."My jaw t

Charles The makeshift operating room looked nothing like a real hospital, yet somehow, Dr. Fernandez had managed to turn one of the hideout's larger rooms into something that resembled one. Machines surrounded Brad's bed. Medical supplies covered every available surface. The steady beeping of monitors filled the room, creating a rhythm that was somehow both comforting and terrifying at the same time. Comforting because it meant Brad was still alive. Terrifying because every beep reminded me how close he had come to dying.Brad lay unconscious beneath the bright surgical lights while Fernandez moved around him with the calm confidence of someone who had done this a thousand times before. Looking at Brad like that felt wrong. He was usually the one making sarcastic comments, complaining about everyone else's decisions, and somehow finding humor in situations where humor didn't belong. Seeing him silent made the room feel unnatural.Fernandez adjusted one of the monitors before looking

Chapter 127

Charles The moment I realized what address Jax had found, I knew exactly where she was headed.I should have been angry.Actually, I was angry.Not because she had gone through my things. At this point, that barely made the list of problems I was dealing with. I was angry because she had decided to investigate it alone. The address wasn't circled by accident. The notes weren't there by accident. Every piece of information in that briefcase had taken years to collect, and if she had found what I thought she found, then she was driving directly into territory that people had killed to protect.The entire drive felt too slow and every red light irritated me. Every vehicle in front of me seemed determined to become an obstacle.I checked my phone twice. Then three times. Then a fourth time. There was nothing, not even the smallest update. That somehow made everything worse.The more I thought about it, the more certain I became that she had already arrived. Jax wasn't the type to find a

Jaxen The second I got into the passenger seat, I slammed the door shut and turned toward Charles."What the hell was that?" I demanded. "You looked like you saw a ghost."Charles didn't answer immediately. Instead, he pulled away from the curb and merged onto the road. His attention stayed fixed ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter than usual.I hated that. I hated when he went quiet. It usually meant something terrible was coming."Charles."He said nothing."Charles."He sighed. “What?""What do you mean what?" I snapped. "A minute ago, you were practically shoving me into your car because some random vehicle appeared, and now you're acting like everything is fine.""It's handled," he just said like it was supposed to calm me down."That's not an answer.""It's the only one you're getting right now."I laughed in disbelief and leaned back in my seat. “Unbelievable."The city passed outside the windows while silence settled between us. Unfortunately, silence and I h

Chapter 129

Jax "Take me to her."The words left my mouth before Charles could finish whatever excuse he was about to give. My heart was pounding so hard that it felt painful, yet somehow not painful enough to distract me from the chaos tearing through my head. Everything I thought I knew about my life had just been ripped apart and rearranged into something I didn't recognize. A sister. Not a distant cousin. Not some family friend. A sister. My sister. And Charles was sitting there looking at me like he expected me to calmly process that information and wait for the right moment. I laughed bitterly and shook my head."Jax—""No." I turned sharply toward him. "Take me to Nathalie. Right now. Or take me to someone who can confirm this story because if you think I'm just going to sit at home wondering whether you're telling the truth, then you've completely lost your mind."Charles rubbed his forehead and exhaled heavily. He looked exhausted. For the first time since this conversation started, I n

Chapter 130

Charles The apartment had been quiet for almost twenty minutes.I sat on the edge of the couch staring at absolutely nothing while Jax remained locked inside the bathroom. At first, I told myself she simply needed space. Anyone would after finding out something like that. But as the minutes dragged by, the silence began to feel heavier and dangerous.It was the kind of silence that wasn't empty at all… more like the kind that was filled with thoughts, questions and pain.I rubbed my face tiredly. The image of her standing in the park refused to leave my head, especially the way she'd stared at Nathalie and the way her entire expression had changed, as though she had been looking at a stranger and family at the same time.A sharp vibration pulled me from my thoughts.My phone.The screen lit up. It just had to be Ivan.I closed my eyes briefly.Of course, this conversation had been coming.I answered before the second ring. "Ivan."The response was immediate."What the hell were you t
