Novel & Cerita Sirius Black Dies

The victory lasts exactly sixteen hours. Saturday morning, Lucian’s phone rings at six AM. Marcus. Never good news at six AM. “Turn on CNBC,” Marcus says. No greeting. Lucian grabs the remote. I wake beside him. “What’s wrong?” “I don’t know yet.” The news anchor’s voice fills the room. “Breaking news in the Blackwood Technologies saga. Three major investors have issued a joint statement expressing concern over CEO Lucian Blackwood’s recent board retention despite what they’re calling ‘clear conflicts of interest.’”

At least I would've lost you honestly. That is what I denied you. Not just loyalty. Choice. Take care of our son. Live the life I kept asking you to postpone. Don't carry anything for me anymore. Adrian I read it twice. The attorney waited until I looked up. "What happened?" "Alpha Blackwood's condition worsened after he finalized the trust separation," he said. "There were complications during the last moon. He died two weeks ago." The words landed softly. No thunder. No collapse. No sense that the world had stopped. Just the quiet recognition that a chapter I had already closed had now been locked from the other side.

“It's so funny you expected me to believe what will come out of your bloody mouth.” "Fine," Alex said abruptly, releasing my wrist. Then he walked across the room to where a television was mounted on the wall. I hadn't even noticed it before. With a click of the remote, the screen flickered to life. "If you want to see him so badly," Alex said, his voice flat, "then see him." The news channel was already on, and the banner at the bottom of the screen made my blood run cold. “BREAKING: PROMINENT BILLIONAIRE IN IRAN KILLED IN HIGHWAY EXPLOSION, AND BILLIONAIRE DARRELL BLACKWOOD IN CRITICAL CONDITION”

New Status: Serena Blackwood declared ALIVE Revocation Date: October 15, 2024 Approved by: New York City Department of Health & NYPD Serena stared at the document with wide eyes. "This... is impossible. How could—" "Kaevan used all his connections," Ethan cut in with a neutral tone. "He paid the right people, manipulated the system, even 'found' false DNA evidence showing that the woman who died wasn't Serena. The official story is: Serena experienced severe depression after the crisis in her husband's company three years ago, then disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought she committed suicide. But actually—she just... left. Underwent mental rehabilitation at a secret facility in Switze

He turned his face away as he spoke. “James Blackwheel did not die,” he began. “He was murdered but he didn't die. He is still alive. Currently, he is in Africa with his daughter.”

“Living isn’t just surviving anymore. Not for me.” That made him tilt his head, eyes softening just a little. “Good. Keep it that way.” Before I could respond, Damian’s voice cut through the hallway. “Evelyn, you need to see this.” The study’s lights burned bright against the midnight dark. The brothers stood around a tablet and a wall screen covered with numbers. “What’s wrong?” I asked. Elias turned. “Blackwood Enterprises just crashed fifteen percent on the market.” I blinked. “His company?”

I spent my days working as a freelance illustrator, trying to save every penny for the baby growing inside me. My phone buzzed. It was a message from an old friend, a girl I hadn't spoken to since the divorce. Eve, have you seen the news? Are you okay? I can't believe he let it all go to hell after you left. My heart skipped. I opened a browser and typed in his name. The headlines were a bloodbath. BLACKWOOD EMPIRE COLLAPSES: LUCIAN BLACKWOOD DECLARES BANKRUPTCY. THE FALL OF A TYTAN: ASSETS SEIZED AMIDST SCANDAL.

Captain Rian’s reply. “Sorry Rian. Force of nature.” Genesis replied with a smile. [Aster walked towards their room. Genesis and Captain Rian also made their way to Chief Vincent’s office.] [June 29, 1212; Great Fall Era – Present | Sewers Square - Eben, Meccichuzan (11:40)]

It had been poignant, yet ignored by so many. I remember the burial ceremony: a silent Sienna, stoic and nonverbal in almost every respect but the silent sobs that escaped under her flowing black veil. Kyle and Mistra by her side, offering quiet comfort. The Ascended, heartbroken and solemn in the death of the toddler and even more disappointed in their inability to save him. It had been a dark time: the loss of the Aperture Dauphin. So ten years later, as I sat in the office, listening to Kyle tell me that after all this time, Sirius was alive? I didn’t believe it. This was some type of sick joke. Some test of my position as Gamma.

A man who orchestrated the downfall of the woman I loved. And yet… Howard’s voice brought me back. “I understand this must be difficult for you, Mr. Blackwood.” I let out a breath. “It’s complicated.” “I assumed so.” “How… how did he go?” I asked quietly. “He suffered organ failure. His body was simply… too weak to continue.” I nodded slowly, eyes fixed on the wall but seeing nothing. “And Kate?” “I will call her next, but he insisted you should hear it first.” “I see.”
