Chapter 131

MALTIDAI watched her run like a wounded animal, and I took another slow bite of my steak.The meat was still warm, juices pooling faintly on the plate, the scent of blood mixing with everything in the control room. It was almost amusing, how the world could be ending for someone else, and yet everything in mine remained perfectly controlled.Desperation had a rhythm.And I could hear hers even without sound.“Slow her down,” I said calmly, dabbing the corner of my lips with a napkin. “Don’t catch her yet.”One of the men beside me hesitated. I didn’t turn to look at him.“Ma’am… she’s nearing the outer corridor.”I smiled faintly, picking up my glass and swirling the wine inside it before taking a slow sip. “Exactly. Let her think she’s close.”There was a pause. Then, “Yes, ma’am.”Orders moved quickly after that. I watched it unfold like a performance I had rehearsed a hundred times in my head. Hope.Then fear.Then hope again.It was a beautiful cycle.Emily stumbled on one of th

Chapter 132

ALESSANDRO I stood there for a long moment, staring at the screen, letting the numbers burn into my head as if memorizing them would somehow make this easier. It didn’t. Nothing about this was easy anymore. Not the decisions. Not the waiting. Not the thought of what I might find when I finally got to Emily.My jaw tightened.“Say it again,” I said, my voice low but steady.Across the table, Marco shifted, glancing down at the tablet in his hands before looking back at me. “Underground structure. Industrial zone outskirts. Registered under three shell companies—every one of them loops back to Maltida’s network.”I nodded slowly, dragging a hand across my face before resting it against my mouth.“Security?” I asked.“Minimal on the surface,” he replied. “Heavy below ground. Rotational guards, controlled access points. They’re not hiding it, they’re daring someone to try.”A humorless smile pulled at my lips.“That’s because they think no one will.”Silence settled briefly across the ro

Chapter 133

EMILY The sound came like something crawling through the walls.At first, I thought it was in my head.Because that was what this place did to you—it made you hear things, imagine things, cling to anything that felt like movement just so you wouldn’t drown in the silence. I had learned not to trust it. I had learned to sit still, to breathe slowly, to ignore the way my mind tried to trick me into hope.My body reacted before I could stop it.I pushed myself up from the floor, my back scraping painfully against the wall as I stood, every muscle in my body screaming from exhaustion. My head spun for a second, black spots dancing at the edge of my vision, but I forced myself to stay upright.I moved slowly toward the door, my steps careful, silent, like I was afraid the ground itself would betray me. My fingers hovered near the wall as I leaned forward, pressing my eye to the tiny peephole.Darkness.Flickering light.A shadow moved across the hallway, too fast to make out, followed by

Chapter 134

ALESSANDRO I didn’t feel the pain at first.Everything was too loud, too fast, too sharp for my body to process anything properly. The gunshot, the alarms, the shouting through my earpiece—it all blended into one violent rhythm that pushed me forward, step after step, deeper into the facility.But the moment I saw her… everything else fell away.Emily.For a second, I just stood there, my chest tightening so hard it almost felt like something inside me had snapped. She looked… sick. My eyes dropped instinctively.“Secure the room,” I said, my voice low, controlled, but there was something underneath it that made the men around me move faster without question.“Yes, boss.”Two of them moved immediately, checking corners, clearing blind spots, while another stepped toward the door to stand guard. Up close, it was worse.Her wrists were raw from the restraints. There were faint tremors in her hands she was trying to hide. And when she looked at me, it wasn’t just relief I saw.It was

Chapter 135

MALTIDAI thought I had control over this situation. I stood in the narrow stretch of my private exit corridor, watching the live feed flicker across the monitors in front of me, I could feel that control slipping slowly at first, like sand through my fingers, and then all at once.Alessandro.Of all people.Of all the men in this world who could have interfered, it had to be him.My jaw tightened as the screen glitched again, catching a blurred glimpse of him moving through one of the lower corridors, Emily in his arms like she was something worth saving.My grip around the edge of the console tightened until my knuckles turned pale.“She was never supposed to leave here.”The words slipped out under my breath. Everything about this was not going as planned.Emily was supposed to break here. That was the point. That was always the point. A cold, suffocating feeling settled in my chest, one I hadn’t felt in years.Alessandro being here didn’t just complicate things.If he had found

Chapter 136

MALTIDAI knew the moment I heard the footsteps that they had found me.A sharp breath left my lips as I pushed forward, my boots hitting the concrete floor in quick, controlled steps. The tunnel curved slightly ahead, dim lights flickering along the walls, and for a brief second, I considered running faster, pushing harder but that would have been desperation.And I refused to let them see me desperate.Instead, I slowed just enough to think.The document in my hand felt heavier than it should have, the edges slightly worn from how tightly I had been holding it. Everything I needed was right here.Which meant it couldn’t fall into their hands.Not under any circumstances.I glanced around quickly, my eyes scanning the ground until I found a weak spot near the base of the wall where the concrete had cracked slightly. Without hesitation, I crouched, my fingers digging into the loose earth beneath it. Dirt got under my nails, dust clung to my skin, but I didn’t stop until the hole was d

Chapter 137

ALESSANDRO The moment her thumb pressed down on that device, I ran towards her.There was no thinking, no weighing options, no second-guessing. Just instinct. I lunged forward, my body already reacting before my mind could catch up, and in the split second before everything went white, I remember seeing Emily’s face. Then the world detonated.The explosion wasn’t loud in the way I expected. It was… contained. Pressurized. Like the air itself had been squeezed and then released all at once. The force slammed into my chest, throwing me backward. My ears rang instantly, a sharp, high-pitched whine drowning out everything else. For a moment, I couldn’t tell up from down. Dust filled my mouth, my nose, my lungs.I hit the ground hard, my shoulder screaming in protest, and for a few seconds, I couldn’t move.Everything blurred.Then, slowly, painfully, the world started to come back.Sound came first, distant shouting, boots hitting concrete, someone barking orders through a radio. Then t

Chapter 138

EMILY I didn’t realize I was shaking until I tried to lift my hand and it wouldn’t stay still.The stethoscope lay there on the small table like it had been placed carefully, almost deliberately, like a message meant to be understood without explanation. The metal glinted faintly under the soft light, but it wasn’t the shine that held my attention—it was the blood. My stomach twisted so violently I had to press my palm against it.“Emily.”Alessandro’s voice came from behind me. I didn’t turn immediately. I couldn’t. My eyes were locked on that thing like it might suddenly move.“I…” My voice cracked, and I swallowed hard before trying again. “I didn’t hear anyone come in.”That was the part that terrified me the most. Someone had come into this house. Into my space. And I hadn’t heard a single thing.Alessandro stepped past me then, his presence filling the room in a way that made the air feel tighter. He didn’t hesitate as he picked up the stethoscope, his expression hardening a

Chapter 139

EMILY I didn’t trust Lucas.I knew that much the moment I saw him standing there under the dim flicker of the parking garage light. Still… I didn’t walk away.Because whatever this was, whatever he thought he had, it had dragged me out here at night despite every instinct screaming at me to stay home.And that alone made it dangerous.“You said you had something,” I said finally, folding my arms as I kept a careful distance between us. “Start talking.”Lucas studied me for a second like he was trying to decide how much of the truth I deserved, and that alone irritated me more than I expected.“You haven’t changed,” he murmured.“Lucas.”He lifted both hands slightly in surrender. “Alright. Straight to it.”The air shifted.I didn’t know how to explain it, but something about the way he straightened, the way his voice lost that casual tone—it made my chest tighten.“This is about Ava.”My heart skipped.“No,” I said immediately, shaking my head. “Don’t—”“She’s alive.”The words land

Chapter 140

ALESSANDRO Emily wouldn’t stop talking as I drove.“I’m coming with you,” she said again, her fingers gripping the edge of the seat like that alone could anchor her decision into something permanent.I didn’t even look at her at first. My hands stayed tight on the steering wheel, jaw locked, eyes fixed on the road ahead.“No.”But Emily had never been the type to accept simple answers.“You don’t even know what we’re walking into, Alessandro,” she pushed, her voice rising just a little. “That’s exactly why I should be there. If this is connected to Ava—”I slammed the brakes just enough to make the car jerk forward slightly.Silence dropped between us like something fragile that had just cracked.I turned to her slowly.“You’re out of your damn mind if you think I’m letting you walk into something like this alone with me.”Her lips parted, but I didn’t give her the chance to interrupt.“No,” I repeated, firmer this time. “This isn’t one of your reckless runs where you figure things o
