Just as things were getting really tense in the shop, the sound of suresteps echoed through the room. Carlo, the head designer for the store, walked in with a sense of power and looked around quickly."What's going on here?" The other staff members couldn't be heard because of Carlo's deep, authoritative voice, which cut through the tension.The salesperson stepped forward quickly, and her tone was both too nice and protective. "Sorry, Mr. Carlo—just a small misunderstanding." “This man was—"Carlo had already looked at Ethan, though, and his face changed from interest to recognition. He broke out in a big smile and walked forward, ignoring the other person completely."Hi, Ethan Elliot!" Carlo yelled and put out his hand. "This is the moment I've been waiting for.It's great to finally meet you.”When Ethan saw Carlo, he blinked in surprise and knit his brows together. "Have we met before?" he asked, with a cool.Carlo stepped closer, and as he did, his eyes lit up with excitemen

Carlo then turned back to the salesperson and kept his face the same. "You're fired.”“M-Mr. Carlo, please!” she stuttered in protest, and her face turned pale. We just didn't know! I didn't mean to—""Enough," Carlo said in a strong voice. "Get your things together and leave. Right now.”The other employees were shocked and kept quiet as the embarrassed salesperson quickly gathered her things and left, bowed her head in shame.Carlo let out a big breath and turned back to look at Ethan and Sanaya. His tone changed right away. "I'm truly sorry for what happened. Don't worry—this doesn't represent what our boutique stands for.”Ethan didn't say anything, but he just nodded. Sanaya smiled at Carlo to show her appreciation.Carlo's friendly attitude came back as he spoke to them. "Please allow me to help you personally." “I promise to make up for this bad experience.”After thirty minutes, Ethan and Sanaya left the store with the pink dress carefully wrapped in a stylish clothing

At its busiest, the talent show competition filled the college hall with lively noise. Ethan was in the crowd and nervously tapped his knee.He kept his eyes on the stage as a band finished their performance. "And now, let's welcome Sanaya Kapoor to the stage!" The host said with a big smile as he crossed the stage to the next act.The crowd made a noise when Sanaya's name was called. Along with the cheers and whispers, a group of so-called "bad boys" in the back row laughed and made sexy comments."Does she really think those cute little moves will make anyone like her?" one of them laughed."She'd do better if she gave us a private show backstage," said someone else with a mean grin.Ethan clenched his teeth and made fists with his hands. Even though he was getting angry, the lights in the theater went down and a soft music filled the room before he could do anything.The only light on the stage lit up Sanaya's outline as she walked on. She stood tall and straight, and her face

With an embarrassed grin on his face, Ethan rubbed the back of his neck."I just wanted it to be a surprise," he said in a soft voice.As Sanaya clapped her hands together and leaned in closer, her eyes sparkled."Well, it worked! That was really cool! Ethan, I had no idea you could sing that well. You've done amazing!"He looked away and scratched his forehead as his cheeks turned a deep red color.His heart was racing because of the warmth of her hug earlier.He opened his mouth to answer, but his classmates and friends rushed around him, ending their moment.One of the boys clapped Ethan on the back and said, "Dude, that was crazy!"Someone else said, "Yeah, I didn't know you had that in you."With a soft, proud smile, Sanaya stayed close and watched Ethan accept the praise with grace.As he looked through the crowd of faces, he tried to catch her eye, but a voice full of sarcasm cut him off.Melissa stepped into the group and said, "Well, well, Ethan." Even though she spoke in a s

Melissa's face turned smug with pride, and she looked back and forth between Ethan and Sanaya. "You are same, the worthless delivery boy.”Even Ethan was surprised when Sanaya slid her arm around his waist and pulled him closer. Ethan's jaw tightened, but he didn't have time to answer. She had a warm smile on her face, but her eyes were like cold blades pointed at Melissa."Well, Melissa, you would know all about people who need help, wouldn't you?" Sanaya said in a sweet way. "After all, wasn't your last boyfriend still getting everything paid for by his parents, even your fake designer bags?"People in the crowd tried not to laugh, and Melissa's face turned red, but she wasn't going to give up. "At least I don't have to act like someone else to get attention."Sanaya cocked her head and smiled steadily. "Oh, is that what you mean when you jump from one poor person to the next?Being real?Or Shameless!!"Melissa's sharp look made Ethan frown, but he couldn't hide his enjoyment.

Ethan studied Sanaya's features, mesmerized by the delicate curve of her cheekbones and the soft shimmer in her eyes.The late afternoon light caught her skin, making her seem almost ethereal."What are you thinking?" Sanaya whispered, her voice soft and melodic.Ethan swallowed hard."You're... incredibly beautiful," he said, his voice slightly trembling.I shouldn't be doing this, he thought.She deserves better than someone like me.Sanaya's breath caught."Ethan," she murmured, her gaze intense and questioning."I'm sorry," he said, suddenly pulling back."This isn't right.""What do you mean?" she asked, confusion dancing across her face."I can't..." Ethan's voice cracked."I don't want to complicate things."Sanaya reached out, her fingers barely grazing his hand."Complicate what?"She's so close. So perfect, Ethan's mind raced. And so completely out of my league."Us," he finally said."Our friendship. Everything.""Ethan?" she asked in a soft voice that hinted at doubt.As s

Next day, Ethan's bedroom, but the knot in his stomach felt anything but warm.He groaned and sat up, running his hand through his messy hair.In his mind, he kept going over what happened the night before:Sanaya's knowing smile, her quiet goodbye, and the guilt he felt for breaking her heart."I feel guilty. God knows what she must be thinking about me?"He was scared about today for a whole week."Young Master, your suit has arrived." The butler kept the suit on the bed.He had one more day to work things out with his dad before meeting the Barrett family.With an engagement he didn't want, he was supposed to take one more step toward sealing his fate.By the evening, Ethan was wearing the suit that Carlo had made just for the event.The sharp edges and perfect fit made him feel like he was chained to a future he couldn't get away from.His father called from downstairs as he fixed his tie in the mirror."Ethan! Let's go. We don't want the Barretts to have to wait."Ethan took a bi

Everyone in the room was tense because they were all waiting for Ethan or Sanaya to talk. Lisa, or Sanaya's, mother broke the pause with a polite question in her voice."You both know each other?"Ethan and Sanaya didn't answer right away. They were both still, and shock could be seen in their eyes. The moment went on until James, Ethan's father, stepped in. His voice was calm and collected. With a cool, knowing smile, he said, "I think it would be best to let them talk alone for a moment.""Of course," Mrs. Barrett said in a soft but firm voice. "Take your time."As the butler led them to the balcony, there was a strange silence that began with the soft click of the door closing behind them. The air was cool, and the light breeze in the evening didn't make things any better between them.Ethan finally spoke, which broke the silence. His voice was rough, and you could hear the anger in it. "How come you didn't tell me? I feel totally caught off guard here!"Sanaya was also caug

Lisa’s breath came in shallow gasps as she darted between rows of containers, the manifest clutched tightly in her trembling hands.The sound of boots pounding against the concrete behind her grew louder, her pursuers closing the gap.She pressed herself against the cold metal of a container, heart hammering in her chest.Stay calm. Think. They haven’t caught you yet.“Split up,” a gruff voice ordered, echoing through the narrow corridors of cargo. “She couldn’t have gone far.”Lisa gritted her teeth, her mind racing.Ethan, hurry. I can’t do this alone.She fumbled for her phone, her fingers shaking as she hit the speed dial for Ethan.“Lisa?” Ethan’s voice crackled over the line.“They found me,” she whispered urgently. “I’m cornered at the docks. There are too many of them, Ethan. They’re armed.”“Hold on,” Ethan said, his voice steady but filled with determination. “I’m on my way. Stay hidden. I’ll get you out of this.”The sound of engines roared through the air as Ethan’s convoy
CHAPTER 142
The team quickly split into groups.Victoria and Harris headed to Elliot Enterprises’ headquarters to fortify its defenses.Ethan stayed behind to coordinate operations and analyze intel as it came in.Lisa and Mike drove to the docks, the air between them heavy with tension.“Are you always this determined to throw yourself into danger?” Mike asked, half-joking as he navigated the city streets.Lisa smirked.“You’ve worked with Ethan long enough to know the answer to that.”Mike chuckled.“Fair point. Just make sure you keep your head down when things get dicey.”“I will,” Lisa said, her tone firm.“I need to see this through.”The docks were a hive of activity, even at night.Cranes loomed over rows of stacked containers, their mechanical arms unloading cargo onto waiting trucks. Workers moved about, their faces shadowed under dim floodlights.Mike parked the car a safe distance away, pulling out a small drone.“I’ll use this to scout the area. If anything looks suspicious, we’ll kn

Ethan clicked play on the video again. The masked figure leaned back, their tone becoming almost conversational.“You have 48 hours, Ethan. Forty-eight hours until your legacy crumbles, until the name Elliot is nothing more than ashes in history’s dustbin. Tick-tock.”As the figure’s hand moved, the screen revealed a countdown timer: 47:59:59 and ticking.Ethan paused the video, staring at the timer as though it were a physical threat.Lisa whispered, “Forty-eight hours. That’s all we have.”Ethan’s thoughts churned. They’re giving us time, but why? Is it arrogance? A trap? Or do they want something from me?He turned to Lisa, his expression grim. “This isn’t just about destruction. They’re setting the stage for something bigger.”Lisa nodded, her voice steady despite the fear in her eyes. “Then we have to use every second to figure out what it is.”Ethan grabbed his phone, calling Harris. “Get everyone in the war room. Now. This is a priority-one threat.”“Understood, sir,” Harris re
CHAPTER 141
Ethan sat in his study, the lights dimmed to match his somber mood.The laptop screen cast a faint glow on his face as he replayed the video attached to the cryptic email.Every word, every gesture, every flicker of light in the background was scrutinized, but the masked figure’s mocking voice dominated his thoughts.“Your father rests peacefully now, but what about tomorrow?”The figure’s distorted tone carried an unsettling mixture of menace and amusement.Ethan’s fists clenched, his jaw tightening as he leaned closer to the screen.Lisa entered quietly, her expression as tense as his.“Have you found anything new?”“Nothing yet,” Ethan replied without looking at her.“I’ve replayed this video a dozen times, and every detail feels like a trap.”Lisa moved beside him, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder.“We’ll figure it out. But you can’t do this alone, Ethan. Let me help.”He finally turned to her, his eyes filled with both gratitude and frustration.“You’re already helping by
CHAPTER 140
The study was eerily quiet except for the faint hum of Ethan’s laptop as he replayed the video.The screen displayed a masked figure sitting in a dimly lit room, their voice distorted but deliberate.“Ethan Elliot,” the figure began, their tone calm yet menacing.“You thought killing Kane would end this. But The Black Hawk doesn’t die—it evolves.”Lisa sat beside Ethan, her hand resting on his arm.Her knuckles were white, and her face was pale as she watched the video.“Who is this?” she asked softly.Ethan’s jaw tightened.“Someone trying to pick up where Kane left off. Someone who wants us to know they’re coming.”The figure leaned closer to the camera, their mask gleaming under the faint light.“Kane was only a part of the plan. His vision was... limited. But under my leadership, The Black Hawk will soar higher than ever. And you, Ethan, will watch everything you love fall apart.”The figure paused, then gestured to something off-camera.The video cut to a series of images—bluepri
CHAPTER 139
The dawn broke over the smoldering remains of the airfield, the first rays of sunlight casting a golden hue over the blackened wreckage.Ethan stood at the edge of the tarmac, his expression grim as he watched his guards secure the area.The fight was over, but a gnawing sense of unease lingered in the pit of his stomach.Lisa approached quietly, her face pale but resolute.“Kane’s dead,” she said softly, as if saying it aloud would make it more real.“Does that mean it’s over?”Ethan shook his head, his gaze never leaving the horizon.“Not completely. Kane was the head of the snake, but syndicates like The Black Hawk don’t just disappear overnight. There’ll be others trying to step into his shoes.”Lisa crossed her arms, shivering slightly in the cool morning air.“Then what do we do now?”“We rebuild,” Ethan replied, his voice firm.“The Elliot family needs to be stronger than ever. If there are remnants of The Black Hawk left, they’ll come for us eventually. We need to be ready.”L

The Lisa by his side began to glitch, her image flickering as the truth was revealed—she was a projection, a clever hologram.Ethan’s mind raced, his fury directed at Kane.“What do you want?”Kane’s expression darkened.“You have a choice, Ethan. You can stop me from escaping and end this little dance of ours. Or you can save her.”The live feed shifted to show a timer on the wall next to Lisa: 00:15:00 and counting down.Kane gestured to the screen.“When that timer hits zero, the room she’s in will be flooded with a gas that’s... less than forgiving. But hey, you’re a resourceful man. Maybe you’ll figure it out in time. Or maybe you won’t.”Ethan’s chest tightened.“You’re a coward,” he spat.“No, Ethan,” Kane said, his tone chillingly calm.“I’m a survivor. And tonight, you’ll prove what you really care about: your precious family legacy or the woman who’s been your anchor.”Ethan’s mind raced as he weighed his options.His team was positioned around the hangar, ready to take out
CHAPTER 137
The dim light inside the heavily guarded hangar cast long shadows across the expanse of the space, revealing a sleek private jet fueled and ready for takeoff.Ethan led his team through the maze of crates and machinery, his pistol drawn, every nerve on edge.“Stay sharp,” he muttered to Lisa, who followed closely behind.“This is it.”Guards patrolled the perimeter of the jet, but their movements were rushed, distracted.The chaos outside the airfield was working in Ethan’s favor.Lisa whispered, “Do you think the leader’s already inside?”“We’re about to find out,” Ethan replied grimly.He signaled for his team to fan out and create a perimeter.As they crept closer, the hangar doors groaned, and a figure emerged from the shadows near the jet’s stairs.Ethan’s breath caught as the man stepped into the light—a tall, sharp-featured figure with an air of calculated control.“Elias Kane,” Ethan muttered under his breath.Lisa’s eyes widened. “That’s him? The Black Hawk leader?”Ethan nodd
CHAPTER 136
The abandoned airfield loomed in the distance, its crumbling hangars and runways bathed in the faint glow of floodlights.Ethan crouched behind a ridge with his strike team, surveying the facility through binoculars.Armed guards patrolled the perimeter, while surveillance drones buzzed through the air, scanning for intruders.“They’ve fortified this place,” Lisa said softly, crouched beside him.She had insisted on joining despite Ethan’s protests, her resolve unshaken.“They’re protecting something big,” Ethan replied, lowering the binoculars.“This isn’t just a stronghold—it’s their nerve center.”One of his team members, a seasoned operative named Harris, leaned in.“What’s the play, sir? A frontal assault would be suicide with those drones.”Ethan smirked.“We’re not walking in through the front door. We use the chaos to our advantage. Harris, take a team to the east perimeter. Create a diversion—smoke grenades, flashbangs, the works. Keep their attention focused there.”Harris n
