Erica's eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned in closer to Sullivan.

"Is that so?" she whispered, her breath warm against his ear.

Sullivan's grip tightened around her waist, pulling her even closer.

"You know exactly what you're doing," he murmured, his voice husky.

"Maybe," she replied playfully, trailing her fingers down his chest.

"But we do have more important things to focus on right now."

Sullivan sighed, his desire momentarily giving way to the weight of their responsibilities. "You're right," he admitted reluctantly.

"There's a lot at stake."

Erica's expression softened as she cupped his face in her hands.

"We'll get through this," she assured him. "Together."

Sullivan nodded, his resolve strengthening.

"Together," he echoed.

A knock on the door interrupted their moment, and a maid stepped in, bowing respectfully.

"General, Lady Erica, Doctor Lee has arrived."

Sullivan and Erica exchanged a glance, the tension from their conversation dissipating.

"Good," Sullivan

    As dawn broke, a soft light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. Erica stirred, the events of the previous day rushing back to her. Sullivan was already awake, sitting at the small desk by the window, poring over maps and documents. He looked up as Erica sat up in bed, stretching."Morning my love." he greeted her with a tired smile. "Did you manage to get some rest?""Some," Erica replied, running a hand through her hair. "I see you didn't sleep much."Sullivan shrugged. "There's too much to be done. I was going over our plans for the South. We need to be ready for anything."Erica got out of bed and joined him at the desk. "Let's review everything once more before we meet with our supporters."Sullivan nodded, handing her a sheet of paper. Erica's eyes lit up in surprise because Sullivan barely told her anything of his plans ever since the incident with the masked man.At this point, she wondered what could have possibly changed his mind."I made

    After all, they left John and stepped inside the room with a gloomy expression. Doctor Lee noticed his presence and acknowledged him with a nod."You'll be fine." Doctor Lee said to Evelyn then started packing his bag."Thank you," Evelyn replied.John kept silent as he watched the doctor pack his stuff"I'm done." Doctor Lee said to John."Let me escort you back to the jet." He offered."Theirs no need and besides didn't you want to check up on the patient."His eyes shot wide open for a moment then he gave a nod.Evelyn's eyes were fixed on John and his on hers.Doctor Lee cleared his throat which caused John to snap away from his thoughts."I'll be on my way now." He said that he took his bag and started walking to the door."Hey," Evelyn said weakly.John paused, turning back to her, his expression unreadable."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice softer than usual."Better, thanks to you," Evelyn replied, her gratitude evident.John shrugged, trying to downplay his concern.

    She was coy, clingy and she knew it. He was going to object but she still had to try. John sighed, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards. "Alright, but just until you fall asleep."He returned to her side, pulling up a chair. As he sat down, Evelyn's eyes fluttered open briefly, a small smile playing on her lips."Thank you," she whispered.John nodded, settling into the chair. "Just close your eyes and rest."For a while, the only sound in the room was the soft rhythm of Evelyn's breathing as she slowly drifted off to sleep. John watched her, his thoughts racing. He had always been a man of action, a soldier trained to fight and protect. But sitting here, watching over Evelyn, he felt a different kind of responsibility—one that was new and strangely comforting.His mind wandered to the events that had brought them here, the battles fought, and the lives lost. He thought of Sullivan and the five great families, of the ongoing conflict that seemed to have no end. Yet in thi

    "John it's seven am in the morning what are you doing here." She asked with curiosity.John felt his heart beating against his chest very fast. Somehow he didn't want Erica to know that he spent the night in Evelyn's room so she wouldn't misunderstand."I.." He stuttered racking his brains for the right words to say.Erica raised a brow at him waiting for his response.He took a glance at the door and exhaled."Perhaps you spent the night here?" Erica asked with a smile.John's eyes fell wide open and Erica burst into laughter."At this point don't even bother to deny it because your face has already given you away.""Evelyn told me to stay with her for the night that she was scared." John replied.Erica moves forward and placed a hand on his shoulders."I don't think that you owe me an explanation of how to live your life." She smiled."You should get some sleep because it looks like you didn't get any last night." She with a wink.John cleared his throat as his cheeks turns fluste

    Jason stares at the prison cell. He felt awfully weak and tired. He didn't know how long he had been here nor could he remember the last time he saw Scar. "That punk," he cursed under his breath using the Little energy he had left to clench his fist.He hadn't eaten for days and he was thirsty.All hope of living or escaping left him alone time again after his many failed attempts.Scar had left him here to die and he accepted his fate but he saw in his heart that if ever he did live he was going to kill that bastard.He lay on the ground staring at the darkness.He missed the warmth of the sun.He misses his home, his life as the young master of the jab.He wanted to go home to his mother.He told himself that he was not going to cry but at this moment he was broken to the core and he let the tears run down his face.He slowly closed his eyes awaiting his only date which was death.Not quite long he heard the clicking sound of the door and his eyes snapped wide open.He wondered w

    Jason's body screamed for relief, his mouth parched and his muscles aching from the constant strain. The bottle of water seemed to taunt him, its clear contents gleaming invitingly in the dim light. His mind was a whirlwind of desperation and anger, the memory of Scar's smug face pushing him toward defiance.He stretched out his hand closer to the water. But he quickly withdrew his hand and shut his head. "I can't give up just like this." He muttered.But the need for survival was stronger. He needed strength to escape, to fight back. The rumbling of his stomach just seemed to make things even worse for him.He stares at the bottle this time with an intense gaze.He knew taking that water meant submitting to scars will.He was already imagining the kind of torment that awaited him if he did what his body was craving desperately.After a while, he concluded that it was best to live to fight another day.Slowly, painfully, he crawled towards the bottle.He barely had strength becaus

    Jason's eyes lit up with hope at the thought of his grandparents coming."Hopefully he can try and convince them to take him back with them.""Don't start getting funny ideas because you are not going anywhere," Scar said firmly."I'll tell them about what you did to me.""Go ahead do I look like I care." scar said with a hint of worry in his words."I'll simply just explain that it's training and they will surely understand.""After all our elite soldiers go through such ever worse procedures and you want to rule them. What right do you have." Scar scoffed."Just because you are their grandson doesn't give you any fucking right because you don't know what kind of pain they had to undergo.""Now that you are going through training yourself I'd say you are starting to have an idea about it "Scar retorted."Their job is to follow orders why the fuck should I care about what happens to them or what they have gone through..." Jason's words were silent when he punched him hard in the face

    Jason felt a pang of betrayal. His grandfather had orchestrated this hellish "training" and endorsed Scar's cruelty. Here he was thinking that his grandfather was going to save him from Scar.He chuckled bitterly.What a wishful thinking, he thought. Jason’s mind raced back to the actions that led him here, his reckless behavior that got his friend killed.He regrets but he is too stubborn to admit it."Grandfather," Jason said, his voice a whisper of pain and disbelief. "You... you told Scar to do this?"He was expecting another form of answer but his grandfather’s face hardened, all traces of concern vanishing. "Yes, Jason. I did. Your parents sent you away because they believed you were too weak, too irresponsible. You got your friend killed, and they feared you would bring more shame and danger to the family.""No, they did this to save my life. They told me it was just for the moment and when things calm down they would...""And you believe them?" His grandfather chuckled."

    The doctor rushed in, concern etched on his face.

    Sullivan's steps were heavy as he trudged back home, his once resolute demeanor now burdened by the weight of the night’s events. The adrenaline that had fueled him through the mission had long since faded, replaced by a hollow emptiness that gnawed at his chest. His uniform, stained with the blood of battle, felt suffocating as he reached the front door of his home. The moment the door creaked open, Evelyn appeared, her face lighting up with relief at the sight of her father. Behind her, Erica emerged, her eyes scanning Sullivan's expression with concern. But as Evelyn took in her father's sullen face, her heart skipped a beat. She looked past him, her brow furrowing in confusion."Where’s John?" Evelyn asked, her voice tinged with worry. Sullivan's eyes met hers, and for a moment, he couldn’t find the words. His silence was all the answer Evelyn needed. "We met some resistance and John used his life to save mine. " Sullivan broke into tears. All things came with a price but t

    Jason's cold smile lingered as he took a step back, his eyes scanning the room, daring anyone to defy him. Mrs. Martin glared at him, her jaw clenched in anger, but she remained silent. The tension in the room was palpable, every breath heavy with unspoken threats and unresolved conflicts. Jason had them all where he wanted—on edge, fearful, and uncertain.Before anyone could muster a response, Jason turned on his heel and strode out of the chamber, his men following closely behind. As the heavy doors slammed shut behind him, the room erupted once more into chaotic whispers and accusations. But their words meant nothing to Jason now. The seeds of discord had been planted, and it was only a matter of time before they bore fruit.*****John approached Sullivan’s study with deliberate steps, his heart racing with the urgency of the situation.

    The room had barely settled into a sense of uneasy calm when the doors to the council's meeting chamber burst open. "Jason has gone wrong and we need to put him down." Mrs.Martin yelled. "You of all people should know that he's not a force to be reckoned with. " Jason's father yelled. "You are no longer the head of this council so don't give oders." Mrs. Martin snapped. "But as a member i have a right to speak." He shot quickly. His face was clenched in anger because he still couldn't believe she did this to him. Ever since he stepped down from his position, his family has not been peaceful plus the death of his grandfather made his wife on a rampage. "Speak when you are needed."She shunned then she turned her gaze to the council. "We need to deal with Jason before he destroys the city and everything in it. " She said firmly.

    Sullivan managed a weak smile, though it did little to mask the turmoil within him. "I feel like it too," he admitted, running a hand through his disheveled hair."Did you even get any sleep."Sullivan turned his eyes lazily at john. "What do you think?""Right." John remarked as he gave a nod. John moved to the counter, pouring himself a cup of coffee before taking a seat across from Sullivan. The silence between them was heavy, laden with unspoken worries and unaddressed fears.After a long sip of his coffee, John finally spoke. "I take it things didn’t go well with Erica?"Sullivan sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping. "No, they didn’t. She’s so hurt, John. I don’t know how to fix this."John nodded thoughtfully, his gaze steady and he sighed before he slouch on the couch. "You’ve always been good at fixing things, Sullivan. But some wounds… some wounds need time, not quick fixes."Sullivan stared into his cup, the steam rising in gentle swirls. "I know that. But I can’t s

    Sullivan’s footsteps echoed hollowly through the grand halls of their home, the weight of the night's events pressing heavily on his shoulders. He had escorted Erica and Evelyn back from the warehouse, but the tension between him and Erica was palpable, a chasm that seemed to widen with each passing second. As soon as they arrived, Erica had avoided his gaze, her body rigid with anger and pain. Sullivan had tried to reach out to her, but she had brushed past him, her eyes cold and distant. Now, he stood outside their bedroom, his heart pounding in his chest.Taking a deep breath, Sullivan pushed the door open and stepped inside. Erica was by the window, her back to him as she stared out into the night. The silence between them was suffocating.“Erica…” Sullivan began, his voice low and tentative.She didn’t turn around. “I don’t want to hear it, Sullivan,” she said, her voice cold and firm.“Please,” he implored, stepping closer. “Just let me explain. I was trying to protect you. I

    Sullivan’s heart pounded as Jason’s voice echoed through the dark, cavernous warehouse. He clenched his fists, every muscle in his body tensed, ready for whatever was to come.“Jason,” Sullivan called out, his voice steady but laced with fury. “Where are they?”A low chuckle reverberated through the space, causing Sullivan’s skin to crawl. He spun around, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound, but the shadows played tricks on his senses. Suddenly, a flicker of light appeared on the far wall, and a hologram of Jason materialized, his cold eyes locking onto Sullivan.“Relax, General,” Jason said with a twisted smile. “They’re alive… for now.”Sullivan took a step forward, his jaw clenched. “I’m not here to play games, Jason. Where are they?”The hologram of Jason tilted his head, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Always so impatient. You know, Sullivan, you should be thanking me. I’ve given you a gift—freedom.”Sullivan narrowed his eyes, his pulse racing. “What are you talking

    Sullivan’s heart skipped a beat as John's words sank in. He stood frozen for a moment, his mind racing to process the information. The unease that had been gnawing at him now turned into full-blown dread."Have you checked everywhere?" Sullivan demanded, his voice sharp with urgency."Have you searched every corner of the house? The garden.""Yes, General," John replied, still catching his breath. "We've searched the entire estate, questioned the staff—no one has seen them since this afternoon. Although I interrogated the maids and they overhead the lady Erica talking about going to a boutique."Sullivan clenched his fists, his mind reeling. Erica and Evelyn wouldn't just disappear. Not without something being wrong. His thoughts quickly turned to Jason. Could this be his move? Was this the beginning of his revenge?"It's going to be her regular. Have you called in to see if they used their cards to pay for any item..""General, they never made their way to the boutique."“Damn it

    Jason sat in his dimly lit office, the heavy silence of the room punctuated only by the ticking of an old clock on the wall. The air was thick with the scent of leather and smoke, mingling with the faint aroma of whiskey from the glass in his hand. He stared down at the liquid, swirling it slowly as he reflected on the event that had brought him here—at the top of the underground empire, feared by those who once looked down on him.With his newfound power and authority, Jason knew he was unstoppable and now it was time to take back everything that was taken from him. He had spent years clawing his way out of the shadows, enduring brutal training, torture, and pain.What made him happiest was that the scar was no more. He always promised to end his life and so he did. He chuckled when he recalled the look of hurt and helplessness on his face. Every step had been a struggle, but now, with power and authority firmly in his grasp, he knew he was unstoppable. It was time to repay th
