Avalon Hope Leaks Novels & Stories

“You might want to see this.” Ava blinked, still catching her breath. “See what?” “Turn on the news,” he said. I frowned and grabbed the remote. The screen came to life, showing a breaking report. A bold red banner was stretched across the bottom of the screen. “AVA ROBERTSON TO ASCEND TONIGHT. SIGNED DECREE LEAKED.”

Before I can answer, the elevator to the penthouse pings open behind us. Kevin rushes out, drenched, panting, tie crooked, phone in hand. “Sir—Hailey—don’t get mad but—there’s been another leak.” Hailey gasps. “What?” Kevin swallows hard. “It’s… bigger this time.” Ethan’s voice is pure ice. “How big.” Kevin lifts the phone, screen glowing blue with horror. “Someone leaked a video,” he says. “From inside the company.” Hailey’s face pales.

His expression shifted sharply while reading. “What?” Oliver’s voice carried warning now. Elias looked up slowly. “The archive wasn’t copied.” A pause. “It was activated.” Nobody understood immediately. Daniel frowned. “What does that mean?” Elias’s eyes darkened completely. “It means someone initiated public release sequencing.” The station fell silent. Ariana blinked. “You mean they’re going to leak it?” “Yes.” Another pause. “Starting tomorrow.” Oliver’s chest tightened instantly. The recordings. The reports. The collapse.

Violently. Through a phone call. Ava was reviewing budget projections when her phone rang. Damian. Immediately, her stomach tightened. Interesting. Very interesting. And probably very bad. She answered immediately. Damian’s voice sounded strained. That alone was alarming. “Mrs. Cole.” A pause. “We have a situation.” Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Ava closed her eyes briefly. Then waited. Because experience suggested the next sentence would be unpleasant. Unfortunately, experience was correct. “Someone leaked company documents.”

"You're going to drive yourself crazy. And make Hope miserable in the process." "Better miserable than dead." "Is it? Because from where I'm standing, you're teaching her that the world is too dangerous to engage with. That being herself means hiding forever. Is that really the lesson you want to give her?" Before I could answer, Edward burst through the door. "We have a problem. Someone just posted Hope's full schedule online. Detailed daily routine. Guard rotation times. Security protocols. Everything." "How? That information is classified!" "Someone on the inside leaked it. Someone with access to our security systems."

At breakfast, Leo studied her face. “You’re thinking in layers again,” he said. Serena smiled. “Is it that obvious?” “You only do that when something’s bigger than one person.” He paused. “Are we safe?” She didn’t soften the truth. “Yes,” she said. “Because they don’t want chaos. They want control.” “And you?” “I want sunlight.” Leo nodded, satisfied. At the institute, a senior analyst knocked cautiously. “There’s a leak,” she said. “Someone’s been previewing our releases.”

She immediately buries her face in my neck, babbling happily. On the phone, Ava exhales sharply. "There's news going around, Eden. It's everywhere. TMZ, TikTok, X, gossip blogs. Someone leaked hotel photos. They're saying Hayden cheated on you with Savannah. What the fuck is going on?" I freeze in the middle of the dining room, one hand supporting Nora's back, the other gripping the phone so tightly that my knuckles turn white. Nora pats my cheek with her little hand, completely unaware. "Eden?" Ava's voice is softer now, worried. "Talk to me. Is Hayden okay? Are you okay?"

“What.” “Your girl has a leak,” a voice said. Distorted. Male. “What girl?” “The one who used to be dead.” Click. Damon stood still, ice replacing his blood. --- He drove fast — recklessly — straight to Ava’s place. The guard recognized him. Let him in. Ava opened the door, eyes already tired. “I know,” he said. She stepped aside. On the table: the photo. The scar. The proof. He froze. “We have a leak,” she said. “Someone else knows I’m alive.”

You? Same. We can still wait. Push it back. Give ourselves more time. Ayana stared at the message. Wanted desperately to say yes, to postpone, to hide a little longer. But Raven was circling. The scandal was escalating. Time wasn't their friend. No. Tonight. We do this together. Together. I love you. I love you too. At three, Dr. Hayes called. "IT traced the leak It came from Raven's computer. Accessed Tuesday night at 11 PM, files sent to three media outlets using a burner email account."
