The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 84. The Trap is Set
Elijah stood in his study, going over the plans laid out before him. His mind was sharp, calculating every possible angle, every move Duke West and William Winter might make. He needed to get ahead of them.This time, he’d lure Asher and the remnants of the Shaw brothers' forces into his trap, weakening Duke West’s resources in one decisive move.Doug entered, his expression grim but resolute."Marshal, our men have confirmed Asher’s gathering Zack and Kevin Shaw’s remaining forces.""Perfect," Elijah replied, his voice edged with determination."Make sure he’s led straight into our setup. I want Asher to believe he’s closing in on me, not the other way around."Doug nodded, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. "He’ll walk right into it. Just say the word.""Then let's start," Elijah ordered, his tone final....The tension between Elijah and Sophia had been thick lately, and Elijah could feel it growing by the day.Sophia had been hurt by her family’s manipulations and was dea
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 85. The Gathering of Enemies
Elijah straightened his suit in the dimly lit hallway, adjusting his mask to fully embrace his James Hamesworth persona.Olivia had arranged this meeting, and he knew it would bring him face-to-face with some of Duke West’s most influential allies.The information he could gather tonight would be invaluable if he wanted to protect Sophia and keep Evendore from falling into chaos.As he entered the secluded venue, a low murmur filled the air, the weight of secrecy and power lingering in every corner.High-ranking members of Duke West’s faction, notorious figures in the underground network, stood gathered around a central table.Olivia spotted him from across the room, her face lighting up as she approached him."James," she greeted warmly, her hand lightly touching his arm."I’m glad you could make it. Tonight, you’ll see just how powerful we can be."He offered her a subtle smile, keeping his voice calm. "Olivia, I wouldn’t miss this for the world."She leaned in closer, lowering her
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 86. Only Hope
Back at Arthur Palace, Sophia paced the long hallway, worry etched across her face. Elijah’s strange behavior and frequent absences had started to weigh on her heavily.It wasn’t just the secrecy that troubled her—it was the feeling that he was involved in something dark and dangerous, something he was determined to keep her from understanding.Finally, she called Doug, hoping for some answers. She waited as the line connected, her fingers tapping nervously against the phone."Doug, can you tell me where Elijah is?" she asked, her voice tight with worry.Doug hesitated."Miss Sophia, the Marshal is… handling important matters. He’s doing everything he can to protect you and the life you both have."Sophia sighed, frustration clear in her voice."I just wish he’d tell me the truth. It feels like he’s slipping away, and I don’t know why."Doug’s voice softened."He’s doing all of this for you, Miss Sophia. He’s protecting everything that matters most to him. Just trust him… he’ll come b
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 87. A Plan of Defense
Elijah took a steadying breath, forcing his mind to focus on the task at hand.His plans had been intricate and hidden, but now, with the threat to Sophia and Lando Yale rapidly closing in, he knew it was time to strike back.“Doug,” Elijah’s voice was low, calculated, “we need to act quickly. Duke West and William Winter are moving against Yale’s operations, and it’s only a matter of time before they come for Sophia.”Doug nodded, his face grim.“We have our best men on standby, Marshal. Just say the word, and we’re ready.”“Good,” Elijah replied, his gaze hardening.“Gather them. I want every approach secured and no one getting near Sophia. Tonight, Duke West is going to learn that coming after those I care about has consequences.”As Doug disappeared to rally the forces, Elijah climbed the stairs to check on Sophia, his mind weighed down by the words she’d spoken on their last encounter.He hadn’t expected her suspicions to grow so rapidly, and it pained him to know how much his se
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 88. A Fierce Determination
Sophia sat alone in the dimly lit living room, frustration radiating from her as she looked at the clock.Elijah had managed to slip in after she’d fallen asleep last night and had left again before she’d even woken up. It felt like he was there, just beyond her reach, but distant enough to leave her feeling alone.She took a deep breath, her thoughts swirling as she paced back and forth.Just as she was debating whether to call him, the door opened, and Elijah stepped in, his face showing signs of exhaustion.“Elijah,” she said, her tone tense.“Sophia,” he acknowledged with a soft nod, closing the door behind him.
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 89. The Attack
Elijah stood in the war room of Arthur Palace, his face set with grim determination as he briefed his team. Doug was at his side, reviewing last-minute security adjustments on a detailed map.Every critical point around Sophia’s business and the palace had been reinforced, but they knew the threat was unprecedented.“They’re coming, Marshal,” Doug said, his tone grave.“William Winter’s brought in more men than we anticipated. And there’s someone else—a powerful figure. We don’t have a clear ID yet.”Elijah nodded, his jaw tight. “It’s likely Duke West himself. He wouldn’t delegate something like this.”Doug raised an eyebrow. “You really think he’d take that risk?”Elijah’s gaze hardened. “I know he would. He wants to make this personal, and that means facing me directly.”Elijah turned to the rest of his men, his tone sharp.“Listen up. Winter’s forces will go after Sophia’s business interests first, then the palace. Be ready for anything—they’re going to throw everything they have
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 90. Showdown in Shadows
The cold night air whipped through the empty alley as Elijah faced Duke West in a standoff, each man’s stance mirroring the other’s intensity.The city lights cast long shadows across the walls, adding to the tension that hung between them.The silence between them felt heavy, broken only by the distant sounds of skirmishes as their men clashed in nearby streets.“You’ve become predictable, West,” Elijah taunted, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward.“Always hiding behind an army. When was the last time you fought for yourself?”Duke West’s lips curled into a cold smile.“Is that what you think? That I hide behind others?” He paused, letting his words sink in.“Control, Elijah. True control comes from knowing when to use power and when to let others wield it for you.”Elijah’s expression didn’t falter.“That’s not control—it’s cowardice. Real strength doesn’t hide in the shadows.”Duke let out a mocking laugh, slowly circling Elijah, sizing him up.“You’re strong, yes. But you
The Unstoppable Dragon Marshal 91. A Moment of Weakness
Sophia stood in the living room, her arms crossed tightly. She had been up all night, worry gnawing at her every thought.When Elijah finally entered, his face was drawn, his shirt still stained from the night’s chaos.Sophia's eyes narrowed, her frustration and concern bubbling over.“Elijah, I want answers,” she demanded, her voice steady but laced with emotion.“Every time there’s trouble, you’re gone, and I’m left in the dark. I need to know what’s going on.”Elijah sighed, pulling a hand through his hair as he faced her.“Sophia, you know I’d tell you if I could. But some things… they’re better left unsaid. It’s safer that way.”Sophia’s gaze sharpened.“Safer? I don’t feel safe, Elijah. It feels like there are walls between us, and I can’t keep guessing if—if there’s something you’re hiding.”She took a shaky breath.“Do you have enemies? Are they coming after us?”Elijah took her hands gently, his expression softening.“Yes, I have enemies, and yes, they’d do anything to hurt m
