Neil Hellman Library Novels & Stories

I focused on the sound of his lungs—the same lungs that had breathed life into me in the safehouse, the same man who was currently my only anchor in a world turned to ash. We finally emerged into the bowels of the New York Public Library—the Milstein Research Stacks. In the daytime, this place was a sanctuary of knowledge. In the blackout, it was a haunted forest. The flashlight in Cassian’s hand was shielded by a red filter, casting a bloody, rhythmic pulse over the endless rows of shelving. Millions of books sat in the dark, their spines like ribs, their contents a silent witness to a history that was being unwritten in real-time.

Maybe her voice calms me. No Uhh, coming outside from my bedroom, I sit in the library to read a book. Placing one book in front of me, I try to concentrate on the words. Fifteen minutes passed, and my eyes still kept running on one line. My mind is trying to understand: What’s the fuck written here? “Sir.” Neil entered the library. Maybe he saw the lights on, and that’s why? “What?” My words are a little hard for him. “Sorry. I just..” He looked at me like I was a ghost. Yaaa.. whatever, look at me. What the hell happened to me because of one girl?

I clearly heard the instructions Sain gave them and that is not something that needs to be delayed especially now that they already figured out the Mafia Romano. I took a deep breath. "Does the library located in the west wing?" I inquire. "No, it's in the north east at the end of the hallway near the-" "Got it," I cut him off. "I'll go get him" I smile and turn around. I already where is that library he is talking about. That's the place where I heard Nicolai and Sain talk about Laurent Alcatraz.

Helma murmured, piecing it together, "Look, their M.O. has always been to throw King Residence into total chaos. Whether it's you in a car wreck or me, they're all about making it look accidental. But hey, we're still kicking. That tells me they're not out for blood. They just want to snatch the book in the confusion. Heck, they probably would not dare top us because if they can't dig up the Book of Medical Remedies, they'll have to squeeze the info out of us eventually." Neil paused, mulling it over. "So, you're not scared they might snatch you?" He arched an eyebrow. "Just so you know, if anything happens to you, I could not care less about the worth of the Book of Medical Remedies. You're

I drove like a madman through the city, my brain going a hundred miles an hour. Where would Damien hide something that dangerous? Not the main estate. That place was too watched. Too obvious. Not any of the business offices. Those were bugged to hell by us and our enemies. So that left one place in my head. The library. That goddamn library which was almost non-existent to us all. it was off the grid. No cameras. No guards. No one ever moved in there, because nobody thought it was important. it was covered in books, and men like us had no business with that. we dealt with guns and blood. So, that was a perfect camouflage to hold important things like this.

“Say it, Kalina!” Gavin’s voice broke the silence that had hung for several moments. “Where can we find details about Nigella Kingdom’s history or past?” “The Palace Library,” Elard answered. “There are a lot of important books there, only—” “That place isn’t open to just anyone,” Gavin cut in. “Only the royal family and the elders who have permission can enter.”

She had seen her son angry, and she had seen him worried, but she had never seen him look this haunted, this sick to his stomach over some pictures he had seen in a book. "What is she talking about, Fennigan?" Elana asked, her voice tight with a mother’s demand for truth. "What was in those books? Where did you even find them?" Fennigan tightened his arm around Leela, pulling her and the twins closer into his side, shielding them from the world. He looked at his mother, then at Ginny, whose hand was resting protectively on her pregnant belly. "We found them in the Shadow Wing," Fennigan admitted, his voice rough like gravel grinding together. "The section behind the iron grate. The part of t

POV: Mira The library felt like it belonged to another world—a sanctuary untouched by the chaos that had engulfed Newhaven. Dust floated lazily through shafts of sunlight filtering in from cracked stained-glass windows, casting fragmented rainbows onto rows of ancient shelves. The air was rich with the scent of aged paper and leather, a comforting contrast to the acrid smoke that haunted the streets outside.

"I know she’s in there. I know you’re using Kaima to power this digital hell." " 'Hell' is such a dramatic word, Alpha Rowan," Vane smiled, walking down the stairs toward us. "We prefer to call it 'The Infinite Library.' Why leave the magic to rot in the mud where it can be used for war and chaos? Here, it is safe. It is categorized. It is... profitable." He stopped ten feet away, his eyes scanning the countdown on my arm. **158:45:12.**

Ivan muttered, his voice low and laced with shock. The details on the screen were staggering. Holland Hospital wasn’t just any hospital; it was a massive, self-sufficient complex, housing a state-of-the-art medicine lab, a top-tier medical school, and a high-security research center. The place was so vast it was practically its own village—a carefully constructed empire, guarded by layers of influence and power. And Neil was right at the center, with government connections backing his every move. The resources he had there went far beyond the Holland family’s previous operations. This was a stronghold, a seat of power from which Neil could play his game undisturbed.
