2024-09-09 19:27:14The helicopter landed smoothly, and before the rotors had even stopped spinning, a man in a sharp black suit stepped out, his expression grim.
This was Kyle, James’s most trusted underling, a man who had served him loyally for years.
"Mr. Donovan," Kyle said, his voice steady despite the urgency of the situation. "We’ve located them. They’re at the Grandview Hotel, Room 1207."
James nodded, his jaw clenched tight. "Then let’s go," he ordered, wasting no time. The two men climbed into the helicopter, and within moments, they were airborne again, the city lights below them blurring into streaks of gold and silver.
The ride was silent, the only sound the rhythmic thrum of the helicopter blades. James’s mind raced, replaying the images and words from the video.
He couldn’t believe this was happening. Emily, the woman he had loved and trusted, was in a hotel room with another man. A man who was trying to take her away from him, to violate everything they had built together.
As the helicopter approached the hotel, Kyle handed James a small earpiece. "I’ve informed the team on the ground. They’re ready to support us, but this is your call, sir."
James slipped the earpiece in, nodding. "Good. I want this handled quickly and quietly. No one leaves that room until I’ve dealt with him."
The helicopter touched down on the hotel’s rooftop, and within seconds, James and Kyle were inside, moving swiftly through the corridors.
Hotel staff and guests alike stared in shock as they passed, the sight of a helicopter landing on the building’s roof drawing attention, but James didn’t care. He had only one goal in mind—reaching Room 1207.
James rushed down the hallway toward Room 1207, his footsteps echoed with urgency. Just as he neared the door, a group of waiters appeared, their faces filled with concern and confusion. One of them stepped forward, raising a hand to stop him.
"Sir, you can’t go in there!" the waiter exclaimed, trying to block James’s path. "This area is restricted—"
Before the waiter could finish, Kyle, who was right behind James, swiftly stepped forward. With a cold, authoritative gaze, he pulled out a badge and ID card from his jacket pocket. He held it up for the waiter to see, the emblem of a secret military department prominently displayed.
The waiter’s eyes widened as he recognized the symbol. His confident demeanor quickly crumbled, replaced by fear and nervousness.
He took a step back, his hands trembling slightly. "I… I didn’t realize… I’m so sorry, sir," the waiter stammered, his voice quivering. "I didn’t know who you were."
Kyle’s expression remained steely as he spoke. "You know now," he said firmly. "Step aside.”
James didn’t spare them a glance. His focus was entirely on the door to Room 1207. Without hesitation, he kicked it open, the door slamming against the wall with a deafening crash.
What he saw inside made his blood boil.
Emily was on the bed, her clothes torn and barely covering her body. She looked terrified, her eyes wide with fear as the man from the video loomed over her, his hands poised to violate her. The scene was sickening, and James felt a surge of rage so intense it nearly blinded him.
"You bastard!" James roared, charging forward. The man barely had time to react before James delivered a powerful kick to his side, sending him crashing into the wall.
The man groaned in pain, but James wasn’t done. He grabbed him by the collar, hauling him up and slamming him against the wall again.
"You think you can touch my wife and get away with it?!" James’s voice was filled with fury as he drew back his fist, ready to deliver another blow.
But before he could strike, Emily’s voice cut through the haze of anger. "James, stop!" she screamed, her voice desperate as she reached out and grabbed his arm. "Please, don’t do this!"
James froze, the shock of her words hitting him like a bucket of cold water. He turned to look at her, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Emily… what are you doing? He was about to…"
"I know!" she cried, tears streaming down her face. "But I can’t let you hurt him. Please, James, don’t do this."
The man, still dazed from the impact, managed to push himself up, a twisted smile curling on his lips as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"See, James," he sneered, his voice taunting. "She doesn’t want you to hurt me. Maybe she’s not so loyal after all."
James’s heart pounded in his chest, confusion and anger warring within him. "Emily… did you…? Did you cheat on me?" The words felt foreign in his mouth, as if he couldn’t believe he was asking them.
Emily’s silence was deafening. She looked away, unable to meet his gaze, and in that moment, James felt as though the ground had been ripped out from under him.
The woman he had loved, the woman he had planned to spend the rest of his life with, had betrayed him.
"Why, Emily?" James asked, his voice hollow, the fury that had driven him here beginning to fade, replaced by a deep, aching pain. "Why would you do this?"
Tears filled Emily’s eyes as she finally looked at him, her expression filled with regret and shame. "James… I didn’t mean for it to happen. It just…"
"It just what?" James interrupted, his voice rising with anger again. "You let him touch you? You let him take what was supposed to be ours alone?"

And why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”“I tried!” Emily cried, tears welling up in her eyes. “I tried to call you, but… but the police wouldn’t help.

The tortured man groaned in pain, curling up tighter, his cries echoing through the room.“You bastard!” the brother spat, his fists clenching. “How dare you touch him!”James didn’t flinch.

James Donovan stood over Victor, his eyes cold as steel. The once-arrogant man now cowered before him, all bravado stripped away. James's voice was low, barely containing his fury. "Start talking. Now."Victor swallowed hard, his eyes darting between James and Kyle. "It... it wasn't personal," he stammered. "We were just following orders.""Whose orders?" James demanded, his patience wearing thin.Victor hesitated, fear evident in his eyes. "Mr. Zhao," he finally whispered. "The orders came from Mr. Zhao."James exchanged a glance with Kyle. They both knew the name - Wei Zhao, one of the most powerful and influential businessmen in the country."Why?" James pressed, his voice dangerously quiet. "Why my daughter?"Victor's words came out in a rush. "It's his grandson. The boy needs a heart transplant, urgently. Your daughter... she's a perfect match."James felt the blood drain from his face.

Kyle snapped his brows together inside the car, feeling a crack of irritation by the sudden interruption. Just then, the doors to the black cars opened, and several armed men in black suits and shades, alighted steadily. They all swiftly turned to Rolls Royce car, cocking the guns in their hands. From the T logo on their chest pocket, it was obvious to James and the rest that the men were from the Tarlose family. " James Donovan! You have to face your fate for laying a hand on our boss!" The leader of the men, who was black skinned and standing at the middle, with a zig zag scar running across from his forehead to his chin, declared openly in a strong voice. He raised his gun and pointed it towards the back seat of the Rolls Royce, snarling, " It is your choice to surrender willingly or with force. Either way, we don't care!" Then, he marched forward. James' face turned cold as ice, and he lowered his eyes.Kyle snorted with disdain. " They already know your identity. They s

The drive back to the Radcliffe estate was quiet.The weight of recent events lingered in the air, but for the first time in months, there was a sense of closure.James glanced at Emily in the passenger seat, her head resting against the window as she watched the trees blur past.In the backseat, Sarah was fast asleep, her small face finally free of worry.“This feels strange,” Emily said softly, breaking the silence.James glanced at her. “What does?”“Coming home. No Syndicate. No immediate danger. Just... life waiting for us.”James nodded, his grip on the wheel tightening slightly.“It’s what we’ve been fighting for.”Emily turned to him, a small smile on her lips.“I just hope we remember how to live it.”Later that evening, the team gathered at the estate’s main hall for what felt like the first peaceful meal in years.The atmosphere was warm, but there was an underlying current of finality.Kael raised his glass, smirking.“So, this is it, huh?

Winter’s fingers flew over her keyboard, her screen filled with data streams and encrypted files.The room was dimly lit, the glow of monitors casting sharp shadows on her focused expression.James stood behind her, his arms crossed, tension radiating from him.“You’re sure about this?” James asked, his voice low but firm.Winter nodded, not taking her eyes off the screen.“Positive. These files weren’t just buried—they were hidden in layers of false leads. Whoever did this wanted to make sure no one found them, not even Zhao.”Kael leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.“And yet, here we are. What exactly are we looking at?”Winter tapped a key, bringing up a series of interconnected names, companies, and shell organizations.“The Syndicate isn’t just regrouping—they’re rebranding. New names, new players, same game.”James’s jaw tightened. “Led by who?”“That’s the kicker,” Winter said, spinning her chair to face them.“These files mention leadership figures Zhao didn’t even know
CHAPTER 254
The black SUV pulled into the secluded driveway of the secure facility, surrounded by towering walls and layers of surveillance.James stepped out first, scanning the area with a soldier’s precision.Behind him, Emily and Sarah emerged, their expressions a mix of weariness and unease.“This isn’t a home,” Emily said quietly, her arms crossed as she glanced at the cold, gray building.James turned to her, his voice calm but firm.“It’s not supposed to be. It’s safe.”Emily sighed, the weight of the past few days evident in her posture.“Safe, James, but not sustainable. We can’t keep uprooting our lives like this.”James met her gaze.“It’s temporary. Just until we figure out our next move.”Inside, the facility was stark but functional. Sarah clung to Emily’s hand, her eyes darting around the unfamiliar surroundings.“Is this where we’re going to live now?” Sarah asked softly, her voice tinged with worry.Emily knelt to her daughter’s level, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“J

The strike team moved with precision, navigating the dense jungle that surrounded the suspected Shadow Council hideout.Winter’s voice came through the comms, calm but focused.“You’re two clicks out,” she said.“The perimeter scans show minimal activity. If they’re there, they’re keeping a low profile.”James adjusted his headset, his eyes scanning the terrain.“Understood. Stay on the sensors. If anything moves, I want to know.”Kael, walking just behind him, let out a low whistle.“Too quiet. I don’t like it.”James nodded.“Neither do I.”The team reached the entrance to the bunker, its steel doors partially concealed by overgrown vines.Kael moved forward, placing a charge on the lock.“Ready to breach,” he said.James gave a quick nod.“Do it.”The explosion was sharp and contained, the doors swinging open to reveal a dimly lit corridor. The team entered cautiously, their weapons raised.Winter’s voice came through again.“You’re in. Be careful—this layout is identical to some o

Winter’s workstation hummed with activity as lines of code scrolled across her screen.She leaned forward, her brow furrowed in concentration.On a nearby table lay the charred piece of paper Kael had recovered from The Widow’s lair.It was encoded, a complex cipher that had taken days to crack.Kael leaned against the wall, watching her work.“You’ve been at this for hours, Winter. Got anything?”Winter sighed, her fingers pausing over the keyboard.“Almost. Whoever wrote this wanted to make sure it stayed hidden. But they underestimated me.”James entered the room, his expression sharp.“What’s the status?”Winter pointed to the screen.“I’ve almost got it. The code is... odd. It’s deliberate, but there’s something about it that feels personal, like whoever wrote it wanted us to find it.”Kael raised an eyebrow.“Personal? From the Syndicate? Doesn’t exactly sound like their style.”Winter’s screen dinged softly, and she sat back, a faint smile of triumph crossing her face.“Got it.
CHAPTER 251
The boardroom was uncomfortably quiet as Emily entered, her heels clicking against the polished floor.The tension in the air was palpable, the kind of silence that only came before a storm.She set her tablet down on the conference table and looked around at the gathered board members.Many avoided her gaze, their expressions carefully neutral.Others met her eyes with a mix of defiance and unease.“Thank you all for coming,” Emily began, her tone sharp but calm.“I’m aware there have been... concerns about the direction of this company in the wake of recent events.”A man at the far end of the table, Greg Thornton, cleared his throat. He was one of the company’s longest-serving board members and had always been vocal about his disapproval of Emily’s leadership.“Concerns is putting it mildly, Mrs. Radcliffe. Some of us are wondering if your methods are jeopardizing this company’s future.”Emily raised an eyebrow.“Jeopardizing? Or exposing inconvenient truths?”The room shifted unea

The interrogation room was colder than usual, or perhaps it just felt that way.Zhao sat at the table, handcuffed, his posture relaxed despite the weight of his situation.His smirk was firmly in place, as if he were the one holding all the cards.James entered, his footsteps deliberate and echoing in the silence.He placed a folder on the table, its contents thick with evidence of Zhao’s crimes.Without sitting, he leaned on the table, his eyes locked on Zhao.“This is your last chance,” James said, his tone sharp.“Who’s still out there? Who’s pulling the strings now that you’re finished?”Zhao chuckled softly, shaking his head.“Finished? My dear Radcliffe, you give yourself too much credit. You’ve barely scratched the surface.”James’s jaw tightened, but his voice remained steady.“You’re alone. The Syndicate is in ruins. You have nothing left.”Zhao leaned forward slightly, his smirk widening.“Nothing left? Oh, James. You’ve only pruned the tree, not uprooted it. The roots are s
CHAPTER 249
The headquarters was quieter than usual, but the weight of what they’d accomplished hung heavy in the air.James stood in the main briefing room, surrounded by his team, while Winter sat at her station, typing furiously.Screens around her displayed reams of data—records, account numbers, and connections all tied to the Syndicate.Kael leaned against the wall, arms crossed.“That’s it, then? We’re done?”Winter didn’t look up from her screen.“Not yet. The Widow’s fall gave us access to a treasure trove of intel, but there’s a lot to sort through. Sleeper agents, hidden funds, collaborators—we need to root out every last one.”James nodded, his expression grim.“Every loose end tied up. No one slips through.”Kael raised an eyebrow.“You think that’s even possible? The Syndicate had its claws in everything.”James’s voice was steady. “We don’t stop until it’s done.”In another part of the building, Emily stood in front of a mirror, adjusting her blazer.She was minutes away from addre
