" You used me back then, calling me obedient?! Do you think that is obedient?! Mum, I bet you don't know what love is! If you do, you will understand the value of it, and how special it is. Maybe you will learn how to treat people better."

‘’ I can’t believe you, Emily, you don’t act like my daughter!’’ Juliet shook her head, contorting her eyes, unable to accept what Emily was saying.

This couldn’t be!

‘’ You should learn to talk to me better and do the right thing otherwise I will kick you out of the house and never recognize you! You have caused so many problems for me and your daughter, starting from when you had a nightstand with your penniless husband and carrying an illegitimate child! We condone all your mistakes, Emily, and now you couldn’t do the same for us? You are so shameless and ungrateful!’’

She shoot back at Emily, glowering at Sarah who was still cowering behind her mother as if she wanted to use her eyes to pierce the little child!

    " It comes with a price. Are you willing to pay the price attached to the investment?" Instantly, the poor light in Emily's eyes reduced drastically, her jaws clenching on their own! " What kind of price?!" She had no idea an investment requires a price. Or, what could this strange man be up to? " I see you are eager about the price." Code Red taunted, gently tapping on the desk." Just tell me what I need to know!" Emily had almost lost her self-control as she blurted out! " Mr. Enzo Black is our benefactor. Do you think any other person is interested in our dying company? You should respect him! Whatever you want is what you should give to him!"'Juliet intervened, glaring at Emily with dissatisfaction brimming at the corner of her eyes. Although this was also her first time meeting with the mysterious man, it was not as bad as she thought, except for his aloof kind of attitude. And this might also be her chance to achieve her goals, which she wouldn't let Emily destro

    Suddenly, a man jumped from nowhere, holding Emily's hand, dragging her away from the speeding car! " That's too dangerous! You should flee when you have to." Emily was unable to balance herself and crashed against the man's chest, together with Sarah. " Ha!" The pain she was expecting seemed to be delayed by something, feeling a strong wall surrounding her. " It's okay, you are safe." Assuring words were the only thing echoing in Emily's ears, which she found to be strange. Wait?! Isn't she about to get hit by a car?! Instantly, she widened her eyes, glancing at the strong wall protecting her.Oh no! Emily turned to face the strong wall, but the strong wall was not what she thought it was! " Who ......are you?!" She pointed to the man who had just saved her, shakily, unable to comprehend what was going on. " I don't think that's the best way to thank the man who just saved you." The man grinned, winking playfully at her as he stood akimbo, scrutinizing Emily subtly.

    " It's you.......I have.. been looking for you all these times......." This stunned Kael, his eyes flickering with the unfamiliar woman's eyes. He seized the woman up, but there was nothing about her that rang a bell. Immediately, he was charged up, ready to protect James at all costs, since only a few people could be aware of the secret identity. Winter frowned, glancing at James, who looked down at the woman, his expression unreadable. " Who are you?"'James demanded, not startled to hear someone calling out his alter ego. " How do you know my real identity?" His eyes were lazy, but the intensity and the strong aura from him were enough to caution anyone to be wary.The frail woman coughed out loud, grinning, her dull eyes that were lifelessly lit up! " I have finally found you....." She stuttered weakly, shaking her head. " You don't know me but I know you." " You better start talking!" Kael's patience was wearing thin! " I am Samantha, a widow who has suffered since my h

    The sun was already sinking low when James, Kael, Winter, and Samantha finally reached the remote downhill village. They had agreed to take Samantha along to find more victims. The two-hour drive had been filled with little talk, each person lost in their thoughts about the “Blue Tribe” they sought, which was the next victim Winter discovered in the files. James’s face remained stoic, his focus unbreakable. Samantha, sitting beside Winter, gazed out the window, her thoughts somber as memories of her loss drifted back to her.As they entered the village, the scene was modest and quiet, with houses made of bricks, and villagers moving at a slow, unhurried pace. They inquired around, and a few villagers led them to a small, isolated house where the women of the Blue Tribe gathered. The group was greeted warmly, but James’s demeanor stayed reserved. There was an air of purpose about him that told everyone he wasn’t here for pleasantries.The woman in charge of the Blue Tribe st

    James turned to Sarah with a grin. “Let’s get that doll,” he said and held Sarah’s hands. Together, they walked toward the stand, leaving Theo in awe of James’s determination.James stood in the middle of the high-end toy shop, looking around at the countless shelves filled with extravagant toys, each more elaborate than the last. There were dolls with custom outfits, miniature race cars, and carefully crafted puzzles. His gaze fell on a beautiful doll that Sarah had her heart set on. He reached for it and turned to the shop attendant, holding it up.“I would like to purchase this for my daughter,” he said simply.The shop attendant looked him up and down, her eyes narrowing. She didn’t seem impressed by his casual clothes, which looked out of place in the elegant store, which is more of another reason in reality why one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.“Are you sure, sir?” she asked, a slight smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth. “This doll is part of our exclusive lin

    Theo walked quietly through the sterile white halls of the hospital, glancing at the room numbers until he finally reached Steven’s ward as directed by one of the nurses. Taking a deep breath, he knocked gently, letting his expression soften as he prepared to play the part he had rehearsed. He stepped inside to find Juliet, her face red and eyes puffy from crying, sitting on the edge of the bed.“Mrs. Thompson?” he asked softly. “I’m Theo… Emily’s friend. She told me a bit about what you’re going through, and I wanted to check in on you.”Juliet looked up, surprised to see a strange man in her front, and her eyes filled again with tears. “Emily… Emily’s done enough damage already,” she choked, her voice laced with bitterness. “If it weren’t for her stubbornness…the family wouldn’t be on the edge of ruin. My husband is suffering in this hospital bed because of the stress she has caused. We could have had everything! And she just… turned it all down.”Theo nodded sympathetically, lean

    A confused look roamed across Winter's face as she witnessed Jessica walking lonely out of the house. Her eyes dilated, wondering what was going on. She glanced at Kael, but there was no expression on his face. His face was unreadable just like James'. " If you want to know what's wrong. You can ask her." Kael shrugged, uttering casually but his eyes held the weight of something that he knew. He could guess James was now aware of Jessica's plan which could result in the latter getting kicked out mercilessly. Well, he had warned her and there was little to what he could do at the moment. Although his eyes softened, watching Jessica appear alone, he couldn't let his feelings take control of him. Not at this moment. Winter immediately ran after Jessica, calling out to her loudly. " Jessica!" She lifted her hand, waving, " Hey hold up!" However, Jessica didn't answer and even increased her pace, shaking her head nonstop. The young medical practitioner didn't want to f

    "Emily, you are the love I never thought I could get. With you, I don't have to bother about the moon and sun, cause they are not important to me like you. My heart is so full of ice, that only your hot presence could melt. Tell me, do you think I will trade my burning light for any other thing?" Those loving words from James seemed to touch and flicker something in Emily’s heart, a red shade slowly crept on her cheeks. She wanted to dance to the tune of his love and muttered, ‘’ Do you love me because I am your wife or…….’’‘’ Shh…..’’ James placed his right index finger on her lips, shaking his head as his head tilted sideways. ‘’ Let me see your beautiful face before you get an answer.’’He teased her, trying to study more of her exquisite jade facial features that were impossible to ignore. It was at this moment, Emily felt the need to lower her head, unable to comprehend the reason for her anxiousness. She rubbed the tips of her fingers as he avoided James’ gaze. ‘’ Y

    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? No more bunkers, no more ambushes

    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

    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.

    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

    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
