“All good?” he asked through her window, she looked a little startled but answered.

“Yes. No, I don’t know. My car was all fine and now it just wouldn’t start.” she said.

“Why don’t I bring you home instead and we can figure out what to do.” he said repeating himself from earlier.

“I called someone already, they should be here soon.” she said.

“It’s late now, El. I’ll take you home.” he said not asking anymore.

She picked her bag again, got out and locked the doors then went with James.

“Really sorry for the inconvenience.” she said as soon as they began to roll out.

“Inconvenience? Not at all, taking you home can’t possibly be an inconvenience though, never.” he added that last part in a whisper that made her smile.

“If you don’t mind my asking, what happened between you and Alisha, I heard from Lana.” she said.

He explained everything to her as it had all happened.“She is very ambitious and well she chose that ambition, there isn’t much one can do in such cases. I just get the feeli

  • Chapter 500

    Chapter 500 The airport appeared ahead, a modern building of glass and steel perched on a hillside overlooking the sea. Theo pulled into the departure lane and stopped near the entrance. He got out quickly and retrieved their bags from the back while both women exited the vehicle. The white sedan pulled up three cars behind them and stopped. The two men inside made no move to get out, just watched. “Ignore them,” Theo said. “Walk normally. Don’t look back.” They entered the terminal and joined the line at the check-in counter. Ellen kept her eyes forward but she could feel the weight of surveillance pressing on her shoulders. Somewhere behind them, the men from the sedan had probably entered the building and were watching from a distance. The check-in process took fifteen minutes. Theo handed over the fake documents along with their real passports and the airline agent processed everything without question. When they received their boarding passes, the names printed on them read

  • Chapter 499: Santorini Departure

    The villa in Santorini was already half-packed when the sun rose over the caldera. Ellen moved through the rooms checking drawers and closets while Lana worked on securing their travel documents and booking the earliest flight back to Emerald Falls. Theo stood by the window, his phone pressed to his ear as he coordinated with security contacts in Athens. “I need three men at the airport,” Theo said into the phone. “Discrete positions. Eyes on all entrances. We leave in four hours.” Ellen zipped her suitcase closed and dragged it toward the door. “Did you get confirmation from the airline?” “First class on the two o’clock flight,” Lana replied without looking up from her laptop. “It was the earliest I could get. Everything else was fully booked.” “Two o’clock is too long,” Theo said, ending his call. “We should leave now and wait at the airport. This villa is too exposed.” “We can’t check in until noon,” Lana pointed out. “And sitting in a public airport for hours isn’t exactl

  • Chapter 498

    Chapter 498 The room tilted sideways for a moment and Jaxon gripped the arms of his chair to steady himself. Williams Jesse had been his rescuer? The same Williams Jesse who worked in the technical department and was dating Lana Wane? The same Williams Jesse who Jaxon had always dismissed as just another corporate drone? “Why?” Jaxon managed to ask. “Because you’re useful,” Williams said simply. “And because I wanted you to owe me. Which you do now, Jaxon. You owe me your life and I’m here to collect on that debt.” Jaxon shook his head, trying to clear the fog of panic that was settling over his thoughts. “What do you want?” “Information,” Williams said. He pulled a small notepad from his pocket and flipped it open. “Your father and I have an ongoing business but I need to use you to keep tabs on him.” “How would I do that?” Jaxon asked. “My father doesn’t tell me anything.” “But you have access to his room,” Williams countered. “And you know his habits well enough to fi

  • Chapter 497

    Chapter 497 Jaxon Sterling pushed through the revolving doors of EMC at exactly nine thirty in the morning, his designer sunglasses doing little to hide the fading bruises on his face from the kidnapping attempt weeks ago. His jaw still ached when he chewed and the scar above his left eyebrow was still pink and angry looking, but he refused to hide at home any longer like some kind of invalid. The lobby was bustling with morning traffic as employees streamed toward the elevators clutching coffee cups and briefcases. A few heads turned as Jaxon walked past, whispers following in his wake. He ignored them and headed straight for the executive elevator reserved for board members and upper management. “Mr. Sterling,” the security guard at the elevator bank said, nodding respectfully. “Welcome back, sir.” Jaxon didn’t respond, just pressed the button for the fifteenth floor where his office was located. The doors slid shut and he leaned against the back wall, pulling out his phone t

  • Chapter 496: Morning Moves

    Chapter 496: Morning MovesJames arrived at EMC before sunrise, the building’s lobby still dim and nearly empty except for night security finishing their shift. He rode the elevator to the executive floor alone, his mind already sorting through the variables from last night’s meeting between Eric and Liam. The recording Cara had delivered was damning, and now Liam had given them a seventy-two-hour countdown.He unlocked his office and set his briefcase down, pulling out his laptop and the encrypted phone Gregor had given him months ago. Two missed calls from his uncle Ryan and a text from Ellen sent at three in the morning Santorini time.*Can’t sleep. Someone tried to get into our villa tonight. Theo chased them off but we’re leaving tomorrow. Coming home.*James’ jaw clenched as he typed back.*Good. I’ll have security meet you at the airport. Don’t tell anyone your flight details.*He pocketed the phone and moved to the window, watching the city wake up below him. A knock at his d

  • Chapter 495

    Chapter 495The room went very quiet. Pa Aaron’s face darkened and Ma Pat’s expression became stony. Even Kate looked uncomfortable, though whether that was because Henry had spoken an uncomfortable truth or because he had said it out loud where everyone could hear was unclear.“We are not ghost workers,” Pa Aaron said, his voice low and dangerous. “Your mother, your father, your uncle Mark, your aunt Lisa, your cousin Sophia, they all work for their positions. They may not be the hardest workers in the building but they earn their salaries.”“Do they?” Henry asked, his smirk widening. “Or do they just show up and collect money while other people do the actual work?”Richard stood up abruptly, his hands clenched at his sides. “That’s enough, Henry. You don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Don’t I?” Henry leaned back in his chair, looking pleased with himself for stirring up trouble. “I’ve heard the stories. The Carl family got positions at EMC through connections, not merit. And no
