Turn Off The Camera Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

"They must have cleaned up this office beforehand. We're one step behind." Silas scowled, frustration tightening his chest with each labored breath. Just as he reached for another book, his hand stilled. A black hardcover copy of "That's Capital" caught his eye. At first glance, it appeared unremarkable. But upon closer inspection, a tiny pinhole camera was discreetly embedded in the spine, perfectly positioned to capture the entire office. The battery-powered camera had long since died. Silas' heart pounded. He tucked the book under his arm and marched toward a stunned Scott.

"And that’s an admission to your crime. Just in case you’re not aware, I have CCTVs capturing you." His smiles widen, his eyes darken. “I was prepared before arriving here.” My brow furrows in confusion, and he notices that, making him continue. “I asked your Omegas to temporarily disable the surveillance cameras by simply unplugging them,” he says.

I quickly check the CCTV feed on my cell phone. With a few taps, I access the app and expect to see the familiar views of my penthouse displayed on the screen. But what I see makes my body t

“Click this button to swap cameras.” I thank him, waiting for him to leave before I turn my full attention to what's going on in T’s cell. While I was gone, Cal had entered T’s cell, and was sitting in front of him. It reminds me of the first time I spoke to the Silent. Turning the volume up, I strain to listen for any sense of a conversation. I want to hear Cal try as much as I did. “You don't have to keep this act up with me,” Cal says flatly. He seems irritated at T, who is exhaling slowly.

Connie’s POV As much as I’d like to storm out of the room without answering the question, I understood the camera was on me and viewers all over the world were watching at this very moment. I couldn’t fuck this up or else Vress might as well carry out his threat. I took a deep breath to relax and I flashed a smile. “What happened between both of you was an unfortunate incident. It’s truly regrettable that it had to end up with violence,” I said lightly.

"I hope you live a long life." The hand on mine clenched slightly, trembling. William kept his gaze on the window, his expression hidden. The frame shifted—we were each lying down, settling into the silence. But then, in the dark, I reappeared on screen. I leaned toward the camera, frowning slightly. "Forgot to turn this thing off." I reached out to stop the recording, then hesitated. After a pause, I dragged a chair over, sat in front of the lens, and adjusted it, a trace of confusion in my eyes. "Will anyone actually watch this?"

She called out his name in a shaky voice. "What's wrong baby?" He asked pausing once he saw the look on her face. "How do you know if the camera works?" She asked and he frowned. "Cameras? What cameras?"

Counsel looked at me, not asking for permission, just acknowledging the truth: “This is your pivot. If we stop him, we stop tonight.” I swallowed. My hand went to my belly without asking. The baby shifted as if insisting on being alive no matter what the internet wanted. “Stop him,” I said. Not for revenge. For closure. Luca nodded once, and the nod was not theatre. It was structure. “Close the door,” he told Security. And somewhere beneath our feet, the building’s quiet machinery began to obey. —End Chapter 33

Chapter 9 The glow of the red light burned into me long after I left the room. Even with the door shut tight behind me, I couldn’t erase the image from my mind. That tiny, unblinking eye, watching. Recording. Owning. ‎ ‎I pressed a hand against my chest, willing my heartbeat to steady, but it was useless. The more I tried to calm myself, the louder the thoughts became. ‎ ‎If there was one camera, there were more.

“You actually got it.” “You asked.” I opened it carefully. Inside was a small black camera that looked simple enough for even me to use. I picked it up and turned it around in my hands. “This is perfect.” “You haven’t even turned it on.” “I can tell.” He laughed.
