Secure Contain Protect Novels & Stories

"I understand the logic. But marriage is not always logical. Sometimes it is standing together even when apart seems safer." Dr Morrison nodded. "What if there was a middle ground? A way to stay together while minimising risk?" Four leaned forward. "I am listening." "Relocate temporarily to a secure location. Not hiding but strategic positioning. Manuel and his team handle the active threat while you are protected together. Veronica is not separated from you but not in the direct line of fire either." I felt something loosen in my chest. "A safehouse." "With proper security. Round the clock protection. You are together but protected."

She asked. "It's a safe house, Sandra. What does that mean? Typically, there would be a concealed doorway so people could come and go without being seen. Every flat is protected so nobody can eavesdrop on what was going on, essential for cross-examinations, let us say. It would also have all the usual safety measures: bullet-proof windowpanes, toughened doors, probably with a biometric security device, full-time auditory and video observation, and a direct line to Vauxhall Cross."

Marco, my head of security, approached me, his face pale. “Sir. The building is secure. We are doing a full sweep, but we believe all of Cassian’s operatives have been… neutralized.” “This breach was absolute, Marco,” I said, my voice low and cold. “It will not happen again. Double every protocol. Redesign the entire system. I want this building to be a tomb that no one enters without my permission. Is that understood?” “Yes, sir,” he said, the words clipped with a mixture of shame and resolve.

“The coin on my nightstand. It is a threat. They want us scared. They want us to make a mistake.” Damien knelt in front of us his hands covering mine on Maya’s back. His eyes held the same protective fury I felt burning in my own chest. “They will not touch her,” he said his voice low and fierce. “We increase security. We monitor every De Witt move. We prepare for whatever comes next. But we do not let them win by living in fear.”

He flashed me a smile that said I was adorable, making me want to smack that look right off his face. “No. It also scans for stress markers. Therefore, it cannot be opened if someone with clearance is under duress. The hub is the command center for the entire security of this pack.” That was extremely smart. I wondered whose idea that was. The squad seriously put a lot of effort into ensuring this pack’s security. There was absolutely no denying that this had to indeed be one of the most, if not the most, protected packs around.

A hint of amusement played on his lips. "The safety net was a temporary thing, Julian, " Elena replied. Her voice was steady and clear. She tilted her head up. Her dark eyes flashed with her fierce sovereignty. "I don't need a binding document to protect me in this house. The VALE_09 core engine makes sure my signature is part of the asset shield. If you try to remove me the whole infrastructure falls apart." Julian let out a laugh. He stepped closer, his heavy sweater brushing against her pashmina. His big hand slid down to her waist. He lifted her slightly, pulling her body against his.

“You’ve never seen the need because I’ve always made sure you were protected. Natalie, you are the heir to a billion-dollar company. You need protection. Last night, nobody knew where you were.” “I was out with friends.” “And this morning? You won’t be in your apartment.” “With a friend.” A blush reddened her brown skin. “I’ve realised the security companies we’ve been using are not good enough. I’ve hired a new company and they come highly recommended. Owners of the company are former Navy Seals and so are the people working for them. I have a feeling someone with military training will handle you and your tactics.” “Daddy!”

He would know that she would be safe with her, but if this was his opinion, then I knew to respect it. “You do know that it would mean that you need to have three different security teams? If you are going to ensure protection…” “Don’t worry yourself about these small details, baby girl. I’ll be dealing with them, and I’ll leave you to deal with the fact that the two of us have a date to enjoy.” He said, making me blush. “Just be sure to keep your necklace and bracelet on. Their power might not be one that you understand, but at least it would keep you safe to some extent.”

"For the past three months. Since we got engaged." My heart started to race. "What kind of something?" He turned the screen toward me. A clean, modern app design filled the screen. "It’s called SafeGuard," he said. "An app to help victims of corporate fraud record their cases and connect with legal help." I stared at it, stunned. "Users can log incidents securely," Smith explained. "Store documents. Track behavior patterns. Everything is encrypted and backed up. So even if someone tries to erase it, the proof stays safe."

“Damn. You are dangerous.” Leo shrugged. “I know.” Before Matteo could respond, Adrian walked in. He took a brief glance at the screens before shifting his gaze to Leo. “How secure is it?” Leo turned back to his keyboard, typing a few quick commands. A moment later, one of the screens displayed a live feed of encrypted data streams. “No one will be able to detect it. Even if they try, they will be chasing false signals.” Adrian studied the screen, impressed. “Good.”
