Walker knew his instinct was right. Everything about the hospital was telling him to be more vigilant. They thought he will get tired from their bad treatment and forget Elizabeth, the love of his life. Little did they know that Walker was not just a man, but a man from a different breed who don't know how to quit. He never planned to expose them but they let him do it without knowing the extent he can go for his love.

The honeymoon
The air was cool, but dark clouds hung low, warning of a storm. The first raindrops hit the windshield, then came the downpour. Walker switched on the wipers, gripping the wheel as the road blurred beneath the hammering rain. Nothing could ruin this day. He and his wife, Elizabeth, were finally heading to Paris for their honeymoon. “This is going to be the best day of my life,” Elizabeth said, reaching over to stroke his beard before pressing a soft kiss on his cheek. “Oh yeah?” he grinned, keeping his eyes on the road. “I’ve never been to Paris,” she murmured, staring out the window with a dreamy smile. “Neither have I,” he admitted, glancing at her. “I can’t wait to see the Eiffel Tower. It’s so beautiful in pictures.” Walker raised an eyebrow. “Seen it with some ex-boyfriend?” She laughed, swatting his arm. “No! My friend from Romania went on a business trip and sent me pictures.” “Uh-huh,” he teased, reaching over to nudge her. “Bet he’s handsome.” Elizabeth rolled her e

The shadow in the hospital The reconnection
The car screeched to a halt. Jett barely felt the force of the stop—his body was too battered, too numb to register anything but exhaustion. The doors unlocked with a mechanical click, and one of the men in the front seat turned around, his cold, dead eyes drilling into Jett’s.“Get out.”Jett didn’t need to be told twice. He pushed the door open, dragging himself onto the pavement, his legs wobbling beneath him. He felt the weight of eyes on his back as he staggered forward, nearly falling but catching himself at the last moment. The car didn’t linger. It roared off into the night, leaving behind nothing but the acrid smell of burning rubber.He forced himself toward his apartment, each step a reminder of what he had just survived. His ribs jutted out beneath his torn shirt—he hadn't eaten real food in days. His body was an empty shell, but his mind… his mind was a storm.Jett fumbled with the key, his fingers trembling as he jammed it into the lock. The door creaked open, and he all

Walker stepped out of the supermarket, his arms laden with the items he had picked up for his wife in the hospital. The revolving glass doors whispered shut behind him as the cool evening breeze brushed against his face. He still couldn't wrap his head around the turn of events—one moment, he was just another customer; the next, he was humiliated, then compensated, and now, walking away with unpaid-for goods. It didn’t sit right with him, but Svet had insisted.Just as he exhaled, trying to clear his thoughts, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. A feeling of unease crept up his spine. Someone was following him.He stopped and turned.There she was.The same woman who had falsely accused him earlier, standing a short distance away, hands trembling, rubbing them together in a nervous plea. Her lips quivered, and tears streamed down her face.Walker’s expression darkened. His fingers clenched around the grocery bag."You again?" His voice was cold, edged with suspicion. "If you’re her
Last Updated : 2025-03-26The shadow in the hospital Final Wreck for his courage
The entire police department was in chaos.A cop had been beaten, humiliated, and left for dead in the middle of the street. The video was everywhere—circulating online, played repeatedly on news channels, dissected frame by frame by both law enforcement and the public. The image of Officer Oscar struggling, then collapsing, played like a stain on the department’s reputation.A prisoner had escaped, not just slipping through their fingers but taking a patrol car and making a mockery of them. It was a slap to the face.Inside the precinct, tempers flared.“We have checkpoints all over the city, CCTV surveillance, and an entire force dedicated to tracking this guy down!” Ramirez slammed a file onto the desk. “And yet, nothing?!”Another officer, jaws clenched, shook his head. “He’s like a damn ghost. We traced the patrol car—found it abandoned near an uncompleted building. No fingerprints, no leads, nothing.”The NYPD’s higher-ups were livid. The escapee’s face was everywhere, plastered

The security office was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of coffee and stale authority. Walker sat in the interrogation room, his wrists still stinging from the tight handcuffs. His jaw clenched as he watched the security officers whisper among themselves, throwing him the occasional glance like he was some street rat caught in the wrong place.Outside, in the loading bay of Daad Intercontinental Supermarket, a massive steel door groaned open—the supplier's entrance, a passage reserved for trucks delivering goods straight from the seaport and airport. Svet had just finished his delivery.He stepped down from his truck, stretching his back with a groan before heading toward the security department to finalize his clearance. He wasn’t in a hurry. His work here was done, and all that remained was getting the final stamp on his delivery papers before driving off.Whistling softly, he knocked once on the security office door, then pushed it open.Inside, he slid in casually, humming

Jett jerked awake to the sharp sting of ice-cold water slamming against his face. His body convulsed from the shock, lungs seizing as the freezing liquid soaked into his torn clothes. The world was a blur—shadows moving, voices laughing, his breath coming in ragged gasps.Then, the fist came.A brutal strike to the ribs. Then another. Jett groaned, head lolling forward, but the pain snapped him awake. His wrists burned from the ropes cutting into them, his legs bound so tight he could barely feel them anymore.A boot slammed into his gut.He would’ve doubled over, but the ropes held him upright."That woke him up," one of the guards sneered, rolling his shoulders. The red scarf around his neck was stained with dried blood—maybe his, maybe someone else’s. Didn’t matter. These men didn’t care.Jett spat blood onto the floor.The laughter around him was casual, like they were playing cards instead of torturing a man. He could barely lift his head, but he caught glimpses—rifles slung lazi
Last Updated : 2025-03-24The shadow in the hospital Daad Intercontinental Supermarket
The revolving glass doors parted, and Walker stepped into Daad Intercontinental Supermarket—a retail empire owned by the prestigious Daad family. It was more than just a supermarket; it was a symbol of luxury, the epitome of affluence, where only the wealthiest could afford to shop. Everything inside shimmered under golden-hued chandeliers, from polished marble floors to elegantly arranged aisles stocked with imported goods. Each item carried a price tag that could make an average man weak in the knees.Walker was not an average man. He was far below that today.His clothes were crumpled, the same ones he had hurriedly thrown on when the truck driver took him and his wife to the hospital. He had no time to go home for a change. His wife had just given birth, but complications had kept her in the hospital. Now, she needed urgent supplies—things for herself and their newborn.As he scanned the aisles, feeling out of place among the elite customers dressed in tailor-made suits and design
Last Updated : 2025-03-24The shadow in the hospital Where does Svet belong?
Something about the truck driver was off.Walker noticed it the moment Svet shrugged off his coat and settled into the waiting room chair. The dim hospital light cast soft shadows over his frame, highlighting the marks that crept up his neck—tattoos, but not the casual kind. Some were shaped like stars, others like half-moons, blending into the wrinkles of his aged but still intimidating physique.Then there were his arms.Walker had seen tattoos before—who hadn’t?—but the ones on Svet’s hands were different. His left forearm bore the inked silhouette of a scorpion, its tail curled upward in a striking green hue, as though ready to strike. The details were sharp, intricate, as if the creature itself had been burned into his skin rather than merely inked. It was mesmerizing, dangerous-looking, almost alive.This wasn’t just body art. This was a mark of belonging.Walker’s gaze shifted to Svet’s right arm, where a serpent-like dragon coiled in emerald and black, its fierce eyes seeming
Last Updated : 2025-03-23The shadow in the hospital A Visit to Ramirez’s coward partner
The car door swung open, and Ramirez stepped out, his polished boots slamming onto the pavement with firm authority. He was a man of presence—tall, broad-shouldered, and exuding the kind of honor that made him stand out even in a city like New York. His jet-black hair, neatly combed back, glistened under the streetlights, and his sharp brown eyes carried a depth of experience that few could comprehend. At 33, Ramirez was a man built for resilience, a man who had seen too much yet carried himself with dignity. His chiseled jaw, accentuated by a slight five o'clock shadow, gave him a rugged appeal, and his tailored black suit hugged his frame perfectly.Tonight, he was on Madison Avenue, not far from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital—where Oscar was recovering. As he pulled up, his mind raced with memories. He and Oscar had been through everything together. From the cold streets of the Bronx to high-stakes busts in Brooklyn, they had always had each other’s backs. Sure, Oscar had his moment

The nurses emerged from the labor room, their steps brisk yet gentle as they carried the newborn swaddled in a soft white blanket. Elizabeth, exhausted but glowing with the warmth of motherhood, leaned into Walker’s embrace as he wrapped his arms around her. His breath hitched as he gazed down at the tiny bundle in the nurse’s arms.Walker’s throat tightened, emotions bubbling up inside him. He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss on Elizabeth’s forehead, then another on the baby’s. "You did it," he murmured, his voice thick with gratitude.Elizabeth smiled, though fatigue pulled at her features.“Nurse, can we go now?” Walker asked. His arms tightened protectively around Elizabeth, an instinctive urge to take them home where he knew they’d be safe.“Not so fast, sir,” the nurse replied, shaking her head. “Your wife needs to stay for two days. There were some complications after birth. We need to monitor her.”Walker’s expression didn’t change, but inside, a wave of unease crept up his sp
