Boom Boom Boom!The sound of knocking reverberated through the quiet night.“Who’s at the door?” Samuel murmured groggily.The clock on the wall showed 1 a.m.—far too late for visitors.“Open the door, or we’ll break it down!”A commanding voice from outside made Samuel quicken his steps.As he passed the window, his gaze caught the faint flicker of police sirens.Shock coursed through him when he opened the door and found three police officers standing there.“Mr. Hayes, you’re under arrest”One of the officers, a man with a thick mustache, held out an arrest warrant. Fraud, embezzlement, forgery, and tax evasionIt’s all about the company.

BENEATH THE MASK: REVENGE OF SAMUEL HAYES 59
The crash of falling rocks echoed behind them as Samuel and Sarah emerged onto the rocky shore, their breaths ragged and uneven. The cave had collapsed completely, leaving behind nothing but dust and the faint tremors still reverberating through the earth. The ocean roared against the jagged cliffs, its waves crashing in a relentless, violent rhythm, as if mirroring the chaos unfolding before them.Samuel steadied himself, hands braced against his knees, his pulse hammering in his ears. He turned sharply toward Sarah, his voice laced with frustration.“What the hell just happened?”Sarah’s face was pale, her usually sharp gaze unfocused as she stared at the spot where the cave entrance had once stood. Slowly, she shook her head. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “That wasn’t supposed to happen. The island has never reacted like this before.”Samuel exhaled sharply, his frustration mounting. He could still feel the weight of the journal tucked in his bag, as if the secrets within were burn

The cave trembled around us, dust raining from the ceiling as the ground beneath our feet quaked. The pedestal where the journal had rested began to crack, thin fractures crawling across its surface like veins of some ancient, dying beast.I gripped the book tighter, my breath coming fast. “What the hell is happening?”Sarah stood frozen, her eyes darting around the chamber. She took a step back, her voice barely above a whisper. “We triggered something… but I don’t know what.”I turned to her sharply. “You knew this place would react, didn’t you? You knew something like this could happen.”She flinched at the accusation but didn’t deny it.“You’ve been keeping secrets this entire time,” I snapped, anger flaring in my chest. “Enough. Tell me what’s really going on.”Sarah clenched her fists, her hesitation tangible. The flickering torchlight cast

The hum of the private jet was the only sound that accompanied Samuel as he stared out of the window, watching the endless blue of the ocean below. The sunlight reflected off the water’s surface, making it appear like liquid glass. It was beautiful—too beautiful for what lay ahead. Samuel shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his thoughts racing.His old master’s final words echoed in his mind: “Your true purpose lies in the ocean’s depths.”What could that possibly mean? He had been trained for years in secret, preparing for something big, but nothing had ever felt this urgent. XX Island. The name alone was enough to send a shiver down his spine. It wasn’t just an island—it was a place steeped in mystery, with whispers of its ancient power and artifacts that could alter the very fabric of time. And now, Samuel was bound for it, with only fragmented clues to guide him.Beside him, Sarah sat quietly, her gaze fixed on the horizon. He hadn’t heard a word from her since they boarded the pla

Samuel first noticed the visions three nights ago. They started as fleeting images—shadows curling at the edges of his consciousness, whispers in languages he didn’t recognize, and a throne wreathed in flickering blue flames. But last night, they became impossible to ignore. He had woken up drenched in sweat, heart hammering in his chest, his arm burning as if seared by an invisible fire. When he pulled up his sleeve, a sigil glowed on his forearm, intricate and pulsating with an eerie golden light.Sarah was the first to see it.Her face paled. She took a step back, gripping the edge of the table as if the sight had physically weakened her. "Oh, God," she whispered."What?" Samuel demanded, his voice hoarse. "You know what this is?"Sarah swallowed hard, her fingers trembling. "I was hoping this would never happen." She looked into his eyes, guilt and fear warring in her expression. "Samuel, there’s something I never told you about your

Samuel stared at the money Joey had placed on the table. A stack of red and blue bills lay neatly, as if they had just been withdrawn from the bank. However, something within him sensed an oddity.Suddenly, a fleeting vision flashed through his mind. Fragments of memories from who knows where seemed to tell him something. This money was no ordinary cash. He recognized the packaging pattern and the faint scent emanating from it—a mix of expensive perfume and tobacco smoke. Something he could only associate with one name: Sharon.Samuel furrowed his brows and took a deep breath before looking at Joey, who was still standing before him with a questioning expression."This is from Sharon," he stated, his voice flat but filled with certainty.Joey blinked, looking surprised. "Sharon? You mean, that Sharon?"Samuel nodded slowly. "A high-profile criminal. The shadow queen we've never been able to touch."Joey exhaled and rubbed the back of his neck uneasily. "How can you be so sure?"Samuel

Samuel sat alone in the dimly lit room, his fingers tracing the worn edges of a map spread across the table, his mind was a maze of conflicting thoughts. The rebellion had come so far, and yet it felt like everything was crumbling, piece by piece. Was it all worth it? He had sacrificed so much—his time, his energy, his relationships—and yet, in the end, what had they achieved? The state had grown stronger, and the people who once followed him now looked to him with doubt and fear in their eyes.His reflection was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Samuel didn’t need to look up to know who it was. Joey had been a constant presence in his life for years, a loyal ally despite the chaos that surrounded them. But now, the younger man’s silence was a weight Samuel couldn’t ignore.“Samuel,” Joey’s voice broke the stillness, low and unsure. “Are you okay?”Samuel didn’t answer immediately. He could feel the weight of Joey’s gaze, the expectation in the air, but he wasn’t sure how to resp

The tension in Aletra had been building for weeks. Samuel could feel it in the air, thick and suffocating, like the city itself was holding its breath. His rebellion had been gaining momentum, stirring up fear and uncertainty in the state’s leadership. Samuel’s plan was working, but as with every move he made, there were risks—risks he had learned to live with.What he hadn’t anticipated was that one of his own allies would be the one to deliver the blow. It came swiftly, in the dead of night, like a dagger to the heart.Samuel had always trusted Aaron. The man had been a loyal companion, one of the few people Samuel could count on. Together, they had built the resistance from the ground up, fighting against an oppressive government that had no regard for the people. Samuel had shared his darkest secrets with Aaron, confided in him when the weight of the world became too much. He had believed in him, trusted him as much as anyone could.But that trust was shattered in an instant.It h

There had been whispers of a betrayal, rumors that certain allies had already begun to distance themselves. The state’s forces had infiltrated nearly every corner of Aletra, making it nearly impossible to trust anyone. Samuel’s trust in his inner circle was faltering, his thoughts clouded by doubt. He had led them this far, but now it seemed like the walls were closing in.His position was precarious. The political forces within Aletra had already sided with the state, pressuring Samuel’s few remaining allies to withdraw. The underworld, once a dark web of support, was now splintered into competing factions, each more concerned with survival than loyalty. Samuel was on the brink of losing everything.And then, when it seemed like hope was fading, a figure stepped from the shadows.It was a presence that Samuel had not expected, a figure whose reputation preceded him like a storm—The Falcon.Known to most as a shadow, a ghost in the city's underworld, The Falcon had managed to stay out

At the heart of this division stood Joey. His uniform, a deep shade of blue with the emblem of the state emblazoned on his chest, symbolized everything he had once believed in—order, control, and loyalty to the system. But that loyalty was beginning to waver, and with it, everything he had ever known.Joey had always thought he knew where his allegiance lay. He was a soldier, part of the system, bound to uphold the state’s rule and maintain the fragile peace that held Aletra together. For years, he had followed orders without question, believing the ideal of a unified city. That was, until he met Samuel.Samuel had come into his life at the most unexpected of times—a time when Joey’s faith in the state was beginning to crack. He had watched Samuel for weeks from the shadows, a man who seemed to move through the streets of Aletra with a quiet power, someone who wasn’t bound by the state’s rules, but who could navigate the city's darkest alleys with ease. At first, Joey had seen him as
