The Devil You Loved

I called Merald and told him to meet me at my house, and he showed up an hour later looking worse than I'd ever seen him, dark circles under his eyes and his jaw tight with tension."Someone tried to kill me yesterday," I said, not bothering with hello. "They cut my brake lines."His face went pale. "I heard about the accident, I didn't know it was attempted murder.""Now you do." I stepped closer, my voice rising. "I want to know about my brother's accident, Merald. Why were you there, what did you see, and why have you been lying about it for years?"He was quiet for a long moment, his eyes dropping to the floor. "I was there, but I didn't kill him, Debbie, I swear to God, I didn't kill your brother.""Then who did?""I can't tell you.""Can't or won't?""Both." He looked up at me, and his eyes were red. "If I tell you, they'll kill you, they'll kill me, they'll kill everyone we've ever loved.""Who are they?"He shook his head. "You're asking the wrong questions, Debbie. You've bee

The Game Begins

The man drove me to a safe house on the outskirts of the city, a small cabin hidden in the woods with no neighbors and no cameras and no way for anyone to find me unless I wanted them to. I sat on the worn couch with my hand on my stomach and my mind racing, trying to process everything he'd told me."What do they want with my child?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.The man, who still hadn't given me his name, sat across from me in a wooden chair, his cold eyes watching my every move. "Your grandfather's empire is worth billions, Debbie, but the money is only part of it. The real power is in the bloodline, in the heir, in the person who can claim ownership by right of birth. You're pregnant with Merald's child, and Merald is connected to Victor Vance in ways you don't understand yet. That baby, if it's a boy, becomes the key to everything."I shook my head, refusing to believe it. "That's insane, no one is going to hurt my baby, I won't let them.""You won't have a choice if you'

Not Him… Then Who?

I stared at the photo for hours after the call ended, my eyes tracing every detail of the man standing in the corner of my brother's apartment. His face was half in shadow, but his ring caught the light, the symbol on it clear and unmistakable."Mr. Lawson, I need you to bring my grandfather's files, all of them," I said into my phone. "There's something I'm looking for."He arrived within the hour, boxes stacked in his arms, and we spread everything across the dining room table. I pulled out document after document, photograph after photograph, searching for anything that matched the symbol on that ring."There," Sarah said, pointing to the corner of a yellowed page. "That symbol, it's the same one."I grabbed the document and held it next to the photo, my hands shaking. The symbol was identical, etched into my grandfather's private files like a signature, like a brand."Your grandfather was tracking this man," Sarah said. "He has files on him, notes, photographs. Whoever this is, he

The Enemy With No Face

I didn't sleep after the warehouse, couldn't close my eyes without seeing David Cole's face and hearing his words echoing in my head. He was my uncle, my grandfather's secret son, and he had been in my brother's apartment the night he died. He said he was trying to protect me, said he'd been watching over me for years, but I didn't know if I believed him."You need to rest," Anabel said, handing me a cup of tea I hadn't asked for."I can't rest, not until I know the truth.""The truth about what?"I looked at her, really looked at her, and I realized how much I'd been keeping from her. "Everything. My brother, my grandfather, the symbol, all of it."She sat down across from me, her eyes steady. "Then tell me."I spent the next morning going through the files David had given me, stacks of documents and photographs that connected the symbol to something much bigger than I'd imagined. The Circle wasn't just a shadow organization, it was a network that stretched across the country, contro

The Man She Shouldn't Trust

I sat in my car outside Marcus Thorne's apartment building for an hour, staring up at the windows and wondering how many times he had watched my brother come and go without me ever knowing. He had been right there, two floors above, close enough to hear him walk up the stairs, close enough to know when he was alone.Sarah was in the passenger seat, her eyes scanning the street. "We should go inside, talk to the neighbors, see if anyone remembers him.""He's been gone for months, Sarah. No one's going to remember him.""You'd be surprised what people remember when you ask the right questions."I shook my head and started the engine. "Not today. Today, I need to do something else.""Like what?""Like talk to the one person I've been avoiding since this whole thing started."Merald's office was at the top of the Edison Holdings building, all glass and steel and expensive art that probably cost more than my first car. I walked through the lobby with my head high and my hand on my stomach,

Closer Than Before

Merald showed up at my house at midnight, his face pale and his hands shoved deep into his coat pockets, and I knew something had changed before he even said a word."We need to talk," he said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation."About what?""About the Circle, about your brother, about everything I couldn't tell you before." He walked past me into the living room, his footsteps heavy on the hardwood floor. "I've been investigating them for years, Debbie. Longer than you've known me."I closed the door and leaned against it, my arms crossed over my chest. "And you're just telling me this now?""Because now I have proof." He pulled a thick file from his jacket and held it out to me. "Your brother wasn't just involved with the Circle, he was working to bring them down from the inside. He was a mole, feeding information to your grandfather, and when they found out, they killed him."I took the file, my hands shaking slightly, and opened it. Page after page of documents, p

The Lie She Carried

I couldn't sleep after what Merald told me about David. My uncle, the man who claimed to be protecting me, had been working for the Circle the whole time. He gave them my brother. The words kept playing in my head like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from."I need you to look into someone," I told Sarah the next morning. "Shelie Kerry.""Merald's fiancée?""She's not his fiancée, she's an agent planted by the Circle. I need proof."Sarah nodded and opened her laptop. "Give me a few hours."She came back with a file at noon, her face grim. "You were right. Shelie Kerry isn't pregnant. She's never been pregnant."I opened the file and saw medical records, doctor's reports, even ultrasound images with dates that didn't match. "How did you get these?""I have a contact at the hospital. Took some convincing, but she came through." Sarah pointed to a line on the report. "See this? She had a full hysterectomy two years ago. She can't get pregnant, never will."I stared at the words, my mind r

Watched From the Shadows

"I can't talk anymore, He's watching me. Please, Debbie, just leave me alone". I typed back: "You're not safe there, Let me help you". A pause, then: "No one can help me. Not you, not anyone". Vance owns everyone, The medical records were clear, no pregnancy, no baby, just a desperate woman playing a desperate game. But who was she playing for? Herself? Or someone else? I looked at her last message and whispered: "I'm not leaving you behind, Shelie. Whether you like it or not."I noticed the car on Tuesday morning, a black sedan with tinted windows parked across the street from my house, and I tried to tell myself it was nothing, just a neighbor or a delivery driver or someone who'd taken a wrong turn. But when it was still there an hour later, and then two hours, and then three, I knew it wasn't nothing at all."Sarah, there's a car outside my house," I said into my phone. "It's been there since dawn.""I'll run the plates," she said. "Don't go outside until I call you back."I stoo

The Traitor Within

I couldn't look at Anabel the same way after Sarah showed me the footage, couldn't sit across from her at coffee or let her hold my hand or pretend that everything was fine between us. She had been feeding information to Vance for weeks, every move I made, every file I accessed, every person I talked to, and I had trusted her with my life."Mrs. Debbie, we need to set a trap," Sarah said, spreading documents across Merald's kitchen table. "Feed her false information, see who she passes it to, and catch her in the act.""What kind of false information?""Something that would be valuable to Vance, something that would make him want to act. A fake lead on Marcus Thorne's location, maybe, or a made-up document linking him to a crime."I thought about it for a moment. "The senior executive, the one who's been so helpful since I took over. What's his name?""Charles Whitmore.""Let's use him. Tell Anabel that Charles has been feeding us information about Vance, that he's agreed to testify a

Silencing the Truth

I didn't scream, I just stood there watching the body crumple to the floor. They killed him before he could talk."Everyone down!" Sarah shouted, grabbing my arm and pulling me behind a stack of crates. "Sniper! Get to cover!"The shots kept coming, one after another, and I heard screams and shouts and the sound of bodies hitting the floor. Anabel was on the ground, her hands over her head, and Sarah was firing back, trying to pinpoint where the shots were coming from.Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped.Silence.Sarah peeked over the crates, then stood up slowly. "They're gone."I stood up on shaking legs and looked at the bodies on the floor. Charles Whitmore was dead, two of Sarah's team were wounded, and Anabel was crying in the corner."They killed him," I whispered. "They killed him because of me.""No, Mrs. Debbie. They killed him because he was in the way."I walked over to Anabel and knelt beside her, my voice cold. "You're going to tell me everything, Anabel. Every
