PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 48
Jessica drove through the darkened streets, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. The encounter with her father’s man had left her shaken, and the thought of what lay ahead filled her with dread. She had always known that her father was a controlling, manipulative man, but the reality of his power over her life was becoming more apparent with each passing day.As she approached her father’s estate, a sprawling mansion on the outskirts of the city, Jessica felt a chill run down her spine. The tall iron gates loomed ahead, their black metal twisted into intricate designs that gave the place an almost gothic appearance. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves as she pulled up to the gate.The guard on duty stepped out of the small booth and gave her a nod before pressing a button that caused the gates to slowly swing open. Jessica drove through, the gravel crunching under her tires as she made her way up the long driveway. The mansion stood at the top of a small hill
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 49
Jessica sat in her car outside her father’s mansion, her hands still trembling from the intense conversation. She had always known that her father was a powerful man, but the extent of his control over her life was becoming suffocating. His words echoed in her mind, reminding her of the delicate line she was treading between loyalty to her family and her feelings for Philip.As she drove back to her apartment, Jessica’s thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and fear. Philip had been a significant part of her life, and despite everything, she still cared for him deeply. But her father’s threats were not something she could ignore. Andrew Lane was not a man to be crossed, and Jessica knew that if she didn’t play her cards right, both she and Philip could suffer the consequences.When she finally reached her apartment, Jessica parked the car and took a moment to gather herself. The quietness of the night seemed to offer no solace, only amplifying the turmoil in her mind. She took a deep

Jessica couldn’t sleep that night. The fear and tension of the day clung to her like a suffocating blanket. She tossed and turned, her mind racing with thoughts of her father, Philip, and the mess she found herself in. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched, that at any moment, something terrible would happen. Every creak of the floorboards and rustle of the wind outside sent her heart into a frantic rhythm.By morning, she felt drained, the restless night leaving her more exhausted than before. She dragged herself out of bed, going through the motions of getting ready, but her thoughts were still on the ominous conversation she’d had with her father. His threats were clear, and she knew that he wouldn’t hesitate to follow through if she stepped out of line. She had to be careful—very careful.As she made her way to the kitchen, her phone buzzed on the counter. She froze, her stomach tightening as she saw the caller ID. It was her father.Jessica hesitated for a mom

Philip sat at his desk in the dimly lit office, staring blankly at the stack of documents before him. The weight of recent events pressed heavily on his shoulders, and the noise of the city outside seemed distant, almost muted. He couldn’t focus on work, not with everything that had happened. The memory of his last conversation with Jessica played over and over in his mind, her voice trembling with something she hadn’t said. There was something she was holding back, and it gnawed at him.A soft knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. “Come in,” Philip called out, his voice rough from the long hours of silence.The door creaked open, and Marcus, his long-time assistant, stepped in, holding a folder. “Sir, the board is asking for an update on the Lane situation,” Marcus said, his tone careful. He could see the strain on Philip’s face.Philip sighed deeply, rubbing his temples. “Tell them I’m working on it. I’ll give them something concrete by the end of the week.”“Understood,” Marc
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 52
Philip's heart raced as he heard Jessica's words. "He knows you're here." The gravity of the situation hit him like a ton of bricks. He instinctively reached for Jessica’s hand, a protective urge surging through him. They needed to get out, fast.“Do you have a back exit?” Philip asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite the fear gripping him.Jessica nodded, her face pale. “Yes, through the kitchen. It leads to an alleyway behind the building.”“Let’s go,” Philip urged, pulling her gently towards the kitchen. Every second felt like an eternity as they moved quietly through the apartment, the tension thick in the air.Just as they reached the kitchen door, a loud knock echoed from the front of the apartment. The sound was sharp and demanding, making both of them freeze in place. Philip’s grip on Jessica’s hand tightened.“Open up, Jessica,” a voice boomed from the other side of the door. It was cold and authoritative. “We know Philip is with you. This doesn’t have to get ugly.”J
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 53
Philip barely slept that night. His mind raced with thoughts of what had just happened, and what lay ahead. The motel room was small and sparsely furnished, with a single bed, a rickety wooden chair, and a tiny bathroom that had seen better days. Jessica had insisted on taking the bed, leaving Philip to sleep in the chair, but neither of them got much rest.As the first light of dawn crept through the thin curtains, Philip finally gave up on trying to sleep. He stretched out in the chair, every muscle in his body aching from the tension of the night before. Jessica stirred in the bed, blinking groggily as she sat up."Morning," she murmured, rubbing her eyes. "Did you sleep at all?""Not really," Philip admitted, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "Too much on my mind."Jessica nodded, pulling the blanket around her shoulders as she leaned against the headboard. "Me too. I can't stop thinking about what my father said. 'You're a kite dancing in a hurricane.' What did he mean
PHILIP SCOTT: THE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 54
The tension in the FBI office was palpable. Philip could feel it in the air as they walked through the sterile, brightly lit corridors. Agents moved with purpose, their faces set in grim determination, and the faint hum of voices and ringing phones filled the space. Clara led the way, her stride confident despite the weariness that clung to her like a shadow.They reached Clara’s office, a small room filled with stacks of files, a cluttered desk, and a single window that overlooked the city. Clara shut the door behind them, sealing them off from the noise outside."Take a seat," she said, gesturing to the chairs in front of her desk. Philip and Jessica sat down, their eyes on Clara as she moved to her desk, pulling out a folder from a stack. She opened it, revealing a file on Greene."We’ve been watching Greene closely," Clara began, her voice steady but laced with tension. "He’s been tight-lipped, which isn’t surprising, but we’ve managed to piece together some information. Andrew La

Philip's heart raced as he watched Andrew Lane step out of the car. Lane's presence confirmed that whatever was happening here was more significant than they had anticipated. He exchanged a quick glance with Clara, whose expression had hardened into one of intense focus."Stay low," Clara whispered, pulling out her phone to alert the FBI backup team. "We can’t move in until we have confirmation of what’s inside those crates. This has to be airtight."Jessica shifted nervously beside Philip, her eyes glued to her father’s figure. Lane was speaking with one of the guards, his demeanor as calm and collected as ever. It was the same cold confidence Philip had seen in their previous encounters, but now, it was laced with something more—determination. Whatever Lane had planned, it was unfolding right before their eyes.Philip felt a surge of anger, but he knew they couldn’t afford to act impulsively. They needed to stick to the plan and gather as much information as possible. This might be
