All Chapters of I married the devil to bury my father : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The gunshot echoed across the estate. For a split second, no one moved. The woman stumbled backward, one hand clutching her shoulder. Blood seeped through her black coat, mixing with the rain. “Sniper!” Marco shouted. “Take cover!” Damien reacted instantly. He grabbed Elena by the waist and pulled her behind the stone pillar beside the gate. Another shot shattered one of the estate lights. Glass exploded across the driveway. “Find the shooter!” Aldo barked into his radio. The security team scattered, taking defensive positions behind vehicles and concrete barriers. The masked men surged forward. There were at least twenty of them. All dressed in black tactical gear. None of them fired another shot. They were heading straight for the wounded woman. “They’re trying to take her!” Daniel shouted. Damien drew his pistol. “They’re not taking anyone.” His first shot rang through the storm. One of the attackers collapsed before reaching the gate. Marco fired next. The

The courtyard fell into stunned silence. Rain hammered against the stone driveway. No one spoke. No one breathed. Aldo stared at the security tablet in disbelief. “Our underground seismic sensors have confirmed it.” “There are multiple explosive devices beneath the estate.” Marco grabbed the tablet from his hands. “Show me.” A digital map of the property appeared on the screen. Small red circles blinked beneath the mansion. The gardens. The east wing. The underground tunnel. The wine cellar. The garage. Every major support point had been marked. Marco looked up slowly. “They’re everywhere.” Damien never took his eyes off Adrian Wolfe. “You’ve been planning this for decades.” Adrian smiled. “I’ve learned that patience is the greatest weapon.” Elena stepped forward. “You planted bombs under this house twenty-three years ago?” “No.” Adrian’s smile widened. “I built this house around them.” The words sent a chill through everyone present. Vincent sighed as if

The gunshot echoed across the burning estate. Adrian Wolfe stared down at the blood spreading across his white shirt beneath the black suit. For a moment… He smiled. “So…” He coughed, a streak of blood running down his chin. “I always knew it would be you.” Vincent lowered the pistol. “I warned you twenty-three years ago.” “I don’t leave loose ends.” The masked men wearing the silver wolf insignia looked at one another in confusion. Their leader had just been shot. Several instinctively raised their weapons toward Vincent. Others aimed at Damien. No one knew who the enemy was anymore. “Stand down!” Adrian barked. Despite the wound, his voice still carried authority. Every weapon lowered. Damien narrowed his eyes. Even injured… The man still controlled them. Marco leaned toward Damien. “Why would Vincent shoot his own ally?” Damien answered without looking away from Adrian. “Because they were never allies.” “They were partners.” “And partnerships always end.”

The masked man’s rifle hit the wet pavement with a dull clang. He stared at Dr. Mercer. “…Noah?” His voice was barely a whisper. “Who are you?” Dr. Mercer’s eyes filled with tears. “I was there the day you were born.” The man’s breathing became uneven. “No…” Adrian stepped forward calmly. “Ignore him.” “He’s manipulating you.” The masked man looked at Adrian. “You told me my parents died in a house fire.” “I told you what you needed to hear.” Daniel took a cautious step forward. “Look at me.” The young man turned. For the first time, the two brothers stood face to face. They had the same grey eyes. The same dark hair. The same scar beneath the left side of their jaw. Daniel slowly rolled up his sleeve. A small crescent-shaped birthmark rested just above his wrist. Unaware, the masked man did the same. The same birthmark. His confidence cracked. “What…” “…what is happening?” Mercer spoke gently. “Your mother called you Noah.” “You were only three when th

Lucien Ashcroft’s smile disappeared. “What?” Grace turned the satellite phone so everyone could see the screen. UPLOAD COMPLETE 100% VERIFIED 1,482 SERVERS RECEIVED THE ARCHIVE GLOBAL RELEASE SUCCESSFUL For the first time in decades… The Chairman of the Circle looked uncertain. “No.” He took one slow step forward. “That’s impossible.” Grace smiled. “My mother never trusted one hiding place.” Lucien’s eyes narrowed. “Sophia…” “…was always troublesome.” Damien looked at Aldo. “Can you confirm it?” Aldo hurriedly checked three different devices. His eyes widened. “It’s true.” “The files are everywhere.” “We can’t stop them.” News alerts began lighting up phones across the courtyard. One guard glanced at his screen. Then another. Then another. Even the Circle’s operatives instinctively reached for their phones. Breaking news notifications poured in.
