Silence filled the car.

Heavy.

Shaking.

The younger girl, my cousin, was still trembling in Jason’s arms.

Her breathing uneven.

Painful.

Each small sound she made felt wrong.

Too fragile.

Too broken.

The older one sat beside me.

Hands shaking.

Eyes wide.

Still in shock.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

I looked at her more closely now.

She looked older than the girl—but not by much.

Too thin.

Too tired.

Too… used to this.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

She froze.

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Out

    Amber POVEvery scream echoed through the cabin like a knife twisting in my chest.Jason moved first, his footsteps completely silent despite the old wooden floor beneath him. I stayed several seconds behind, exactly as we had planned, letting him take the lead while I watched our backs.The voices grew louder.Alex.It was definitely Alex.I heard him crying.My hands clenched into fists.Jason reached the doorway first.I slipped behind the open door of a storage closet only a few meters away, just enough to remain hidden while still hearing everything.A man's laughter filled the room."Well, there you are.""We were beginning to think you weren't coming."I heard Jason's cold voice."Let my son go."The kidnapper laughed again."We expected you much sooner.""You took far too long to follow orders."Then..."Dad!"Alex.My little boy.His voice cracked with fear.I had to bite the inside of my cheek to stop myself from running into the room.Not yet.Not until I knew where everyon

    Amber POVAlice did not need an hour.She needed exactly thirty-seven minutes.Jason timed her.He insisted he hadn't, but the first thing he said when she came running back into the living room carrying a second black cloak was, "Thirty-seven minutes."Alice beamed with pride, completely unaware that four adults were staring at her in stunned silence."I finished!"Pamela immediately took the cloak from her little hands and spread it across the dining table.Her expression grew more incredulous with every second that passed.She checked the tiny circuits woven into the fabric, the miniature battery hidden inside the collar, and finally pressed the activation switch.The cloak shimmered.For a heartbeat, it seemed to melt into the background.Pamela slowly looked up."It works."Marcus walked around the table to see it for himself."It actually works."Jason looked from the cloak to Alice and then at me."Our daughter built this in thirty-seven minutes."Alice nodded proudly."I remem

    Amber POVAlex had left us a trail.Now it was our turn to follow it.Only four people knew where that trail ended.Jason.Marcus.Pamela.And me.No one else.Not the military.Not the police.Not Emory.Not even our parents.The little blinking signal on my laptop pointed to a tiny abandoned island off the coast of Sum, an island everyone believed had been deserted decades ago because of the poisonous gases that seeped from the old mines.Jason folded the map and looked at the three of us."We're not telling anyone."Marcus nodded immediately."I agree."Pamela looked surprised."Not even Emory?"Jason slowly shook his head."No.""The fewer people who know where Alex is, the safer he is."He looked at each of us."We already know Sun Corporation was compromised.""We know investors were compromised.""We've had people inside our own companies feeding information to the Vincents."He paused."I'm done taking chances."No one argued.As much as it hurt to leave Emory out of this...J

    Amber POVI stared at the tiny blinking dot on my laptop screen.It was so faint that it almost disappeared every few seconds.Yet it was there.Alex.My eyes began to sting.All I could think about were the endless what ifs.What if I had never shown Alex how to build the emergency beacon?What if I had never taught him to think three steps ahead?What if he had never insisted on adding a hidden transmitter that even I had called unnecessary?Then another memory surfaced.The day Alex had gone with the military after helping locate his kidnapped friend using one of his homemade tracking programs.He had only been six years old.Six.He had watched soldiers work.Asked questions.Improved his own designs afterward.Back then, I had laughed and called him my little engineer.Now...That same little engineer had managed to leave us a trail after being kidnapped.I covered my mouth to stop myself from crying."Please hold on...""We're coming."Jason placed a hand on my shoulder."We'll

    Amber POVI don't remember the drive from the airport to the school.One moment I was on the plane.The next I was standing outside the front gates, surrounded by flashing police lights.The school grounds were eerily quiet.Parents had already collected their children.Teachers stood together in small groups, many of them crying.Alex had never failed to come home.Not once.Jason met me before I could even reach the entrance.Without saying a word, he pulled me into his arms."I'm sorry."I shook my head."This isn't your fault."He rested his forehead against mine."We're going to find him.""We have to."The search had already spread beyond the school.Security guards.Police.Military personnel.Volunteers.Everyone was looking.The first clue came less than an hour later.One of the guards called over the radio."We found something."Jason and I ran.Lying on the shoulder of a road behind the school...Was Alex's smartwatch.I immediately recognized it.I had designed every emer

    Amber POVMarcus and I had barely stepped out of the airport terminal in River City when I realized something was wrong.There were far too many cameras.Dozens of them.The moment someone recognized me, the crowd surged forward."Mrs. Sun!""Mrs. Sun, are you having an affair with Marcus?""Did Jason's hospitalization lead to the breakdown of your marriage?""Is Marcus the real reason for the divorce?"I froze."...What?"Marcus instinctively stepped in front of me."Please step back."No one listened.Someone held up a tablet."Mrs. Sun, would you like to explain this picture?"The screen displayed an old photograph.It showed Marcus with one arm around my waist as we walked out of a hotel after a company celebration years ago.I remembered that night immediately.I had been completely drunk after finally closing a year-long acquisition.Marcus had volunteered to make sure I got home safely.The picture had been carefully cropped.It only showed Marcus and me.Nothing else.The repo

    I didn’t cry. I didn’t shake. I didn’t look back, or mourned the life and the years i will never get back, lost forever. I just went home, time to pack and say goodbye to my old life. The penthouse doors opened with biometric recognition the moment I stepped inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass. Marb

    Adrian left the office, but not before stopping at the door. “You will regret ever standing in my way, Amber.” His voice was low. Controlled. Promising. Then he walked out. I remained standing in front of Grandfather’s desk, the Zoom meeting still active behind me. The screen displayed a gri

    They called her in. No delay. No warning. The door opened ten minutes later. Amelie walked in looking immaculate — refreshed, polished, perfectly styled. Not a trace of nerves in her posture. At least not until her eyes landed on me. For a fraction of a second, the color drained from her face
