RISE OF THE GREAT SULLIVAN Chapter 153
Erica walked quietly through the dimly lit hallway, her bare feet making soft sounds against the wooden floor. The weight of the night still clung to her, but she pushed it aside, focusing instead on her next task—checking on Evelyn.As she approached Evelyn’s room, Erica noticed the door slightly ajar. Pushing it open gently, she was surprised to find John sitting beside the bed. His tall frame was hunched over, his hands resting on the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were closed as he slept. She heaved a sighed as she stared him.His expression, usually so guarded and stern, seemed peaceful and almost vulnerable in sleep.For a moment, Erica stood in the doorway, her eyes softened as she took in the scene. She couldn’t help but think about how sweet they looked togetherJohn, the steadfast protector, and Evelyn was always fierce and she noticed she was independent woman.Often she found their bickering cute but she knew it was impossible between those two.But the fact still

When Erica got back the moment she opened the door the first person she saw was Sullivan. "Babe, Where have you been?" He asked with his eyes filled with drowsiness. "Are you up already?" Erica asked going over to his side. "Not really," He groaned. Before Erica could say another word he pulled her to himself. His arms were around her waist as he buried his face in her neck. "Let's stay like this a little longer. "He sighs."Hmm." Erica's hand goes into his hair and gently begins to caress it. The texture was so soft that Erica couldn't help but smile.She pulled back and looked into his eyes which were still trying to stay open. "If you are tired then you should get some sleep." Erica turned. "I don't want to. " Erica moved forward and pressed a kiss on his forehead. "You are tired and I don't like the way I'm ""You are tired, and I don’t like seeing you this way," Erica whispered, her lips lingering against his forehead.Sullivan tightened his hold on her waist, refusin

The next morning just before breakfast a meeting was fixed so they could discuss how to solve the problem they indirectly created for themselves. The atmosphere in the room was tense as Sullivan, Erica, Evelyn, and John gathered around the table, maps and documents spread out before them. The weight of their responsibilities hung heavily in the air, each of them acutely aware of the dangers that lay ahead. The South had become a critical battleground, and now they were forced to adjust their strategies in light of the new developments.Sullivan ran a hand through his hair, his expression grim as he surveyed the situation. "We need to move quickly. The longer we wait, the more fortified their positions will become.""Since they already know we went to the south."John, standing by his side, nodded in agreement. His hand where in his pocket studying the items on the table. "We can’t afford to be caught off guard. Our enemies are expecting us, which means we need to outmaneuver the

Erica noticed that he wanted some alone time with Evelyn, so she followed John outside.She didn’t have a problem leaving her husband with Evelyn because she trusted her.She could see how John was beginning to get agitated, so she placed a hand on his shoulder."Don’t worry, she’ll be fine," she said to him."I wasn’t worried about her," John lied, trying to avert his gaze."You don’t have to hide it because I know you care about her," Erica said with a smile. "Do you have feelings for her?" she added.This time John flinched because he wasn’t expecting her to ask such a straightforward question."It’s okay to want something for yourself," she said softly."It’s just complicated," he sighed in distress."Don’t worry, you’ll be fine," Erica chuckled. "Come on, let’s go," she added as they continued to walk down the hallway.---Evelyn was still watching Sullivan as he stood in front of her.She felt her heart beating in her chest because she was scared of being alone with him.She fea

Evelyn's heart was racing, but she forced herself to remain composed. Sullivan's apology had caught her off guard, and she was struggling to process the emotions it stirred within her. For months, she had carried the weight of her past actions, believing she was beyond forgiveness, even from herself. Yet, here was Sullivan, acknowledging her pain, even thanking her."Set things right?" Evelyn echoed, her voice tinged with bitterness. "You can't just say a few words and expect everything to be okay.""I know," Sullivan said, his gaze steady. "But it's a start. I don't expect you to forgive me, and I don't expect us to go back to how things were. I just wanted you to know that I recognize the good you've done."Evelyn looked away, her fingers fidgeting as she tried to hold back the tears threatening to spill. She hated how vulnerable she felt in front of him, hated that despite everything, his words affected her so deeply."Why are you doing this?" she asked, her voice barely above
RISE OF THE GREAT SULLIVAN Chapter 158
"No, there's no need for you to be concerned," Evelyn replied with an amused expression."Then it's all settled and done," Sullivan sighed with relief.Evelyn took her leave and went to her room.When she got to the door, she found John standing outside."Hey," he started slowly."Hi," Evelyn replied, looking at him.The silence was beginning to get awkward, so Evelyn offered, "Do you want to come inside?""Hmm."Slowly, she opened the door and gestured for him to come inside."I want to talk to you about something," he began."We are walking, so you should just say whatever you want to say," Evelyn said, rolling her eyes."We'll be going to the south, and I know it's going to be really dangerous…""If you're trying to convince me not to go, I won't," she said firmly.The firmness in her voice made John realize that she had no intention of changing her mind, and it bothered him because he was scared.He had been on so many dangerous missions in his life, but he had never once been sca

"We have gotten news that the Dragon General will be coming to the South," Jason's father said as he stood in front of the other members of the five great families."If he's coming, then he must be trying to seize control of the South like he did with Lowell Tower, but we must stop him before he does," Mr. Brown said.The other members were already looking uncomfortable as they began to mumble among themselves."Silence!" Jason’s father yelled."There’s no need to fret; the situation will be sorted out," he said firmly."Men will be deployed to the South to ensure that our place is secure."Mrs. Martin, who had been watching the proceedings with a nonchalant expression, finally leaned forward to air her opinion."What if we meet resistance from the people because of the Dragon General?" she asked.Everyone’s heads snapped toward her, trying to understand what she was implying."I don’t think we understand what you’re trying to say," Jason's father frowned."The likelihood of the popul

"What was that all about?" Jason's father asked the moment they stepped out of the building.Mrs. Martin turned to him, feigning ignorance. "I don't understand what you're implying. You'll have to be specific.""It looks like you have everyone wrapped around your pretty little fingers."Mrs. Martin's lips curved into a smile as she leaned against the side of the car."Is that jealousy I smell on you, love?" she teased, arching an eyebrow and shaking her head in amusement.If only he knew the plans she had in mind for him."I don't get jealous.""Then I don't see how that is a problem," she shrugged. "You, of all people, should understand that it's all just business."Her assistant helped her open the car door, and she got inside."I hope I'll see you later tonight," she said with a wink."Keep your voice down," Jason's father warned, although the prospect of meeting up later excited him."The walls have ears," he remarked nervously, allowing his eyes to roam the garage."It's just us

The doctor rushed in, concern etched on his face. "What's happening?" he asked, immediately assessing Erica's condition."She's bleeding," Sullivan replied, his voice tight with worry.The doctor quickly examined Erica, his face grave. "We need to run some tests," he said, calling for a nurse to assist.Erica's heart raced as she lay on the hospital bed, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. She had thought she was past the age of motherhood, and now... now she might lose the baby.The doctor returned with a warm smile. "Erica, you're pregnant. And not just with one baby, but twins."Erica's eyes widened in shock, followed by a wave of joy. She was going to be a mother!But her happiness was short-lived as she remembered Evelyn's condition. Her best friend, who had just lost the love of her life, was also pregnant and alone.The doctor's expression turned serious. "Erica, you need to take it easy. The stress of the situation almost caused you to miscarry. But you're okay now

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. He knew that the council's infighting had reached its peak and that Sullivan, the Dragon General, would be ready to act. Knocking briefly, Joh

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. "What do you suggest we do then. "Mr almer asked."What can we possibly do? "Mr smith rolled his eyes."He's a child. "Mrs.martin groaned. "A child th

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
