บททั้งหมดของ Bound by the Triplets: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

POV MADDISONThe midnight storm battered the towering glass windows of the Blackwood estate's master suite, the heavy sheets of rain completely drowning out the distant lights of the city below. I stood near the massive, charcoal-draped king-sized bed, my skin still humming from the hot shower. I was wearing only a sheer, midnight-blue silk robe that Caleb had draped over my shoulders earlier in the evening, the delicate fabric doing absolutely nothing to hide the lingering, dark bruises blooming across my collarbones.The grand double doors clicked shut with a heavy, definitive echo. The shift in the room’s atmosphere was immediate—a thick, intoxicating drop in pressure that signaled their arrival.Ethan, Caleb, and Asher stepped into the dim light of the suite. They had shed their corporate armor. Ethan was in a dark, unbuttoned dress shirt, Asher was bare-chested and clad in low-riding sweatpants, and Caleb walked with a slow, predatory grace, holding three long strips of heavy bla

POV MADDISON"Get down!" Asher roared, his gravelly voice cutting through the hiss of the scalding water.Before the operative in grey tactical gear could drive the combat knife into his throat, Asher’s massive hand shot out like a steel vise, clamping onto the man's wrist. The sound of bones cracking echoed over the splash of the shower. The attacker let out a strangled gasp, dropping the blade onto the wet tile, but two more silhouettes materialized through the thick, swirling white steam."Asher, left!" I screamed, slipping on the wet floor as I scrambled back toward the marble wall, my soaked silk blouse clinging to my skin."I’ve got him, doll!" Asher barked, delivering a brutal, bone-crushing elbow to the first man's jaw, sending him crashing through the remaining glass partition.Suddenly, a heavy, deafening bang echoed from the outer gym corridor. The heavy reinforced door was kicked completely off its hinges, and Ethan stepped into the steam, his matte-black handgun raised. B

POV MADDISONThe world shattered into a deafening symphony of ripping metal, screaming alarms, and the violent roar of the ocean. The private jet skipped twice across the swelling crests of the dark Atlantic before its nose sheared completely off, plunging the pressurized cabin into an immediate, freezing darkness. Water—black, heavy, and freezing cold—rushed through the severed fuselage with the force of a concrete wall.Hands, massive and unyielding, gripped my soaked frame before the vacuum could drag me under."I’ve got you, doll! Don't let go!" Asher’s raw, feral roar pierced through the chaos of the crashing waves.He didn't just pull me; he hoisted my bare, shivering body completely out of the submerged wreckage, his massive, tattooed arms anchoring me against his chest as he kicked through the heavy surf toward the jagged, shadow-drenched shoreline of Black Sands. Ethan and Caleb breached the surface right behind us, their tactical weapons held high above the white foam, their

POV MADDISONThe red perimeter lasers on the master control console blinked with a sickening, rhythmic precision. Eight thermal silhouettes. Fifty yards from the primary blast doors. The high-tech sanctuary we had just bled in was no longer a fortress; it was a high-stakes kill box."They didn't stumble onto us," Ethan barked, his voice dropping into that terrifying corporate-commander register as he instantly buckled his tactical vest. "Their tech division traced the satellite handshake when Caleb initialized the backup mainframe. We are targeted.""Let them come," Asher snarled, stepping out from the armory alcove. He tossed a sleek, lightweight submachine gun onto the quartz counter right next to my bare thigh. "I’ve been waiting to clear the board since they touched the jet.""No," Caleb countered smoothly, his brilliant dark eyes flashing with a dangerous, psychological excitement as he rapidly tapped a sequence into the master terminal. "If we engage them in the open jungle, we

POV MADDISONThe sterile, blue-tinted light of the primary satellite array cast long, cold shadows across the villa’s main living area. On the towering central monitor, the live broadcast from the High Court’s subterranean chambers remained frozen on a frame of pure terror. Lauren’s hysterical, tear-streaked face pressed against the heavy steel bars of her cage was a grotesque reminder that our war with the old world had only just begun."The old bastard actually did it," Asher hissed, his gravelly voice dripping with an unhinged, lethal venom as he slammed his fist into the reinforced concrete pillar beside the monitor. The impact cracked the plaster, but his wild eyes never left the screen. "He snatched her right out of the northern district to use her as leverage for our encryption codes.""It’s a standard executive extraction strategy," Ethan stated, his deep voice entirely devoid of emotion as he stood at the center of the room, his massive arms crossed over his tactical vest.
