The cheers were still echoing faintly in the room, until Darius stepped forward. The noise died instantly, like someone had flipped a switch. Every eye turned to him.

He looked directly at Liam, his expression unreadable, and then slowly, he extended his hand.

Liam stared at it for a moment, contemplating on what it meant if he took it. The silence was deafening now—not tense, but waiting.

His hand twitched at his side, unable to easily shake Darius‘. He needed these people. He needed their knowledge, their strength, their will to fight. But he also knew what Peter was capable of. He had seen people broken and remade because of a mad man’s ambitions. If he failed, these people, these survivors, would be the next victims.

His fingers flexed uneasily. Could he really ask this of them?

Evelyn shifted beside him, then softly cleared her throat.

Liam turned his head slightly, meeting her gaze. She didn’t say a word, but he saw it in her eyes. Trust them. Trust yourself.

    Evelyn frowned and turned her face away the moment Darius looked at her, pride glowing behind his eyes. Her shoulders were tense, her jaw locked tight. “You crossed a line,” she muttered, barely louder than a breath.Darius blinked in a dismissive way, “She volunteered.”“She’s still a human being,” Evelyn snapped, rounding on him now. “You don’t get to experiment on people and hide behind consent like it’s a shield. You think because she said yes, that makes it clean?”“She chose this,” Darius replied calmly. “She wanted to be useful.”“Useful?” Evelyn’s voice rose. “Is that what we’re calling this now? Weaponizing people, locking them in chambers like test subjects—useful?”Liam stood still, watching the tension crackle between them. He didn’t speak, didn’t breathe. His gaze remained fixed on the woman now standing inside the slowly opening chamber. She was curled around with mist, her form slowly becoming clearer with every breath she took.Jack stepped subtly to the side, closer t

  • THE VENGEFUL HEIR   An Ambush

    Liam quietly pulled Jack aside with a glance, but the others stayed where they were, watching Mara and murmuring in low tones. Jack followed Liam to a dim corner of the warehouse, his steps cautious but also laced with curiosity. He could tell that Liam wanted to talk to him about something important, but what was it? To the best of his knowledge, this situation with Mara had already been resolved.“We’re not done here,” Liam said in a low voice just as they reached the corner of the warehouse. “Not by a long shot. But if we’re doing this… I need to know if you can still reach your contact in Santa Fe.”Jack’s brows knitted. “The prison director?”Liam nodded. “We need options. If we’re serious about using this program to redeem people, we start with the ones already sentenced. No one innocent or coerced. Just people who are willing to redeem themselves.”Jack looked away for a second, his jaw tightening. “I can try. I haven’t spoken to him in months, but we’ve done favors for each ot

  • THE VENGEFUL HEIR   The Unexpected Ally

    Jack slammed the warehouse door shut as soon as he returned to Liam's mansion. He wasn't sure it was a good idea to still meet Monroe now. Peter's man could have still been trailing him. This time, his steps were slower than usual, more deliberate, and there was a raw edge in his eyes that hadn’t been there before. Liam caught it immediately.“You good?” Liam asked from across the room.Jack didn’t answer at first. His eyes flicked away for a moment before he spoke, and even then, his voice was low.“I was followed.”Liam stood still, he was surprised for a moment and feared they had been compromised, but something in his posture stiffened. “You handled it?”“Yeah,” Jack said, but the word carried a weight that made Liam pause.Jack exhaled and glanced over his shoulder. “It wasn’t just a tail. He was sent. Gun, silencer, no hesitation. He said Peter knows. Everything. The prison, the program. He knew who I was meeting and why.”Liam’s jaw clenched, but he said nothing.Jack looked ar

    Liam felt his heart skip as soon as he heard the gunshots and immediately, he dashed towards the table in the room and picked up his car keys rushing towards the warehouse with Jack closely behind him. However, just as they arrived, everything was still as if there was not an attack here moments ago. Silence fell over the warehouse, broken only by heavy breathing and the sizzle of a burning fuse on a demolished generator.“Everyone okay?” Liam called out as soon as he walked inside the warehouse.“I’m good,” Evelyn replied.“Mara too,” Darius added, shaken but unharmed.Jack nodded, checking his weapon. “That wasn’t a raid. It was a warning.”“Or a test,” Liam said darkly. “To see how ready we really are.”He looked around at the team—bruised, bloodied, but still standing. Then down at the device still in his hand. Victor’s message pulsed again, like a heartbeat.“He’s closer than you think.” causing Liam’s eyes to narrow.The warehouse was quiet now, too quiet. Only the occasional f

  • THE VENGEFUL HEIR   The Breaking Point

    Liam stood outside the second warehouse, Jack’s voice still echoing in his ears.“You need to see it for yourself.”The lights flickered as he stepped inside the warehouse. The air was colder here, sterile. And there in the center of the floor was Mara, breathing heavily, hunched over, her muscles trembling.Darius stood beside her, smug and proud.“She’s ready,” he said with a grin that didn’t reach his eyes. “Fully enhanced. Stronger than any of the others. Her reflexes are beyond anything we’ve seen.”Liam stepped closer, eyes locked on Mara. Her pupils were dilated. She looked up slowly, her face contorted between exhaustion and fury.“Liam…” she said, voice strained. “Something’s… off. I can feel it.”“Nonsense.” Darius interjected dismissively, “You’re fine. You just need some time,” Darius said quickly. “The mind is adjusting to the body. It always takes a moment.”Mara suddenly twitched angrily. But before she could say anything else, a wrench fell from the top floor of the wa

  • THE VENGEFUL HEIR   Descent into Darkness

    The atmosphere in the corridors of the base had changed. Liam moved silently through the main hallway, his eyes catching the flickers of red scanner lights, the whirring of automatic doors, the dull hum of the enhancement chamber far down the line. Evelyn’s words still pressed on him, but so was the weight of what he had to do.Darius had done the procedure on a few more volunteers from the Tribunal, and as Liam passed them, their faces were blank. Their eyes filled with chemical fire, but they also blank. One woman flinched as he passed, her arm twitching involuntarily like her muscles were trying to remember something human.Liam stopped right in front of her. Before now, she was a medic with warm eyes and a shy smile. Now her eyes were empty and dull. He didn’t even remember her name.He turned away, his heart sinking deeper than he’d admit to anyone. Each footstep he took weighed more than the last, and every face he passed was a reminder that the line had already been crossed—and

  • THE VENGEFUL HEIR   The Final Confrontation

    Liam blinked his eyes slowly open. His head throbbed heavily and his vision was still blurry. For a second, he couldn’t remember where he was or how he got there. But then it all rushed back—Peter. The fight, the capture, the darkness.He tried to sit up, pushing through the dizziness. The air around him was heavy, like the weight of everything that had led to this moment had settled into the room. He looked around and realized he was deep inside Peter’s base. Cold walls, dim lights. The heart of the enemy’s lair.Then he heard a slow clap. Peter stood in front of him, arms folded, with a smirk stretched across his face.“Well, well,” Peter said, his voice calm but mocking. “Look who finally woke up.”Liam got to his feet, legs shaking but steady enough. He didn’t respond right away. He just stared at Peter, taking him in. This was it. The man who had caused so much pain. The man who chose power over everything else.Peter stepped closer, his eyes gleaming. “Still think you can win, L

  • THE VENGEFUL HEIR   The Rise of a New Villain

    The air was thick with smoke and dust, filled with the remains of Peter’s fortress. The battle was over, or at least that’s what Liam thought. He leaned against a crumbled wall, blood streaked across his face, his body aching from the fight. Around him, the enhanced soldiers stood quiet, still catching their breath. For a brief moment, there was silence, peace. Or something like it. Then Darius stepped forward.Liam looked up and immediately felt something was wrong. Darius didn’t look like himself anymore. His eyes glowed with a strange, dark light. His skin was pale, almost gray, and thin black veins crawled across his arms like vines. Liam could see it clearly now, the power of the Ogini rippled off him in waves, thick and heavy. It had fully taken control of Darius.But Darius wasn’t acting possessed. He didn’t move like someone under control. He moved like a man who had finally found his purpose.“You feel it, don’t you?” Darius asked, voice deeper than before. “The power. It’s r

  • Pieces on the Board

    Mia sat in the corner of the cold basement, now awake, her wrists bound, her head heavy. The walls around her pulsed with a faint red glow, like veins carrying something unnatural. Darius paced slowly in front of her, his face calm, and eyes fixed heavily on her. That eerie glow from the Ogini still lived inside him, and it was getting stronger.“You look tired,” he said with a soft smile, crouching in front of her. “This place drains you, doesn’t it?”She didn’t answer. Her eyes locked on him, full of fear but also something else, confusion and anger.Darius tilted his head, amused. “I don’t blame you for not trusting me. I wouldn’t trust me either. But I’m not your enemy, Mia. I’m just the one finally telling you the truth.”“Liam will come for me,” she said quietly, but her eyes carried the fire of a strong resolve.“I know,” Darius said with a grin. “That’s the plan.”He stood up and waved his hand. The room around them shimmered, and suddenly the walls fell away. Mia gasped as vi

  • Echoes in the Silence

    Liam sat on the edge of the cot, staring at the cracked floor of the safe house. The silence felt heavy, like a warning. Something was wrong, Mia was gone, but as much as he wanted to believe that Darius was the one who took her, he couldn’t roll out everything yet for certain. Deep in his gut, he felt it twisting like a knife.Evelyn paced nearby, her phone clutched tightly in her hand. “Still no answer,” she said, her voice laced with worry. “I’ve called her three times. Her phone rings but then stops.”Jack stood by the door, arms crossed. He looked from Evelyn to Liam, frowning. “Let me go check her place. Maybe she just needed space.”Liam didn’t look up. He barely moved, his head was already filled with anxious thoughts. What if it was already too late? What if Darius had turned her into one of the Ogini’s puppets? How would he explain any of this to Lord Steven? Jack waited for his response, and when he didn’t get it, he grabbed his coat and left without another word.Minutes p

  • Snatched in the Dark

    After Mia left the safe house, she wandered along the edge of the city, her steps slow and heavy with emotion. The night was quiet, but her mind was loud—full of questions, hurt, and the echo of Liam’s cold words. She pulled her coat tighter as the breeze swept through the empty streets. She glanced at her watch and it was just a few minutes past ten. The streetlights flickered above her, casting long shadows on the cracked sidewalks.She didn’t know where she was going. She just needed to be anywhere but the safe house. Anywhere away from Liam’s distant stare and the feeling that she no longer belonged. She eventually came to a stop near an abandoned train station and with a slow soft exhale, she sat on a bench, the wood damp beneath her, and exhaled.“You don’t look like you belong here,” a voice said.Mia flinched, frightened and turned. A man had taken the seat beside her. He was dressed in dark clothes, hood half pulled over his head. His face was calm, his smile polite, but some

  • The Ashes of Victory

    The van rumbled through the wrecked outskirts of the city, but no one spoke. Liam sat in the back, slouched against the wall, his body aching with every bump in the road. His shoulder was torn open, blood soaked into the gauze Evelyn had hastily wrapped around him. Across from him, Jack stared at the floor, jaw tight. Mara’s eyes were still glowing faintly from the battle, but her expression was blank. There was no celebration. No sense of victory. Only silence.Peter was gone. But the Ogini… the Ogini had found someone worse — Darius.When they finally pulled up to the safe house, it was still dark. The building stood quietly, unchanged since the morning they left—but everything felt different now. The team moved slowly, exhausted in body and spirit. Inside, the lights flickered on. The place was eerily quiet. Liam collapsed onto the worn-out couch, wincing as the pain in his ribs flared. Evelyn knelt beside him with a first-aid kit, gently peeling back the soaked bandage.“You shoul
