His Most Dangerous Addiction Chapter 27
Rain finally began falling over Quezon City.The old mansion echoed with the steady rhythm of water striking its roof, turning the silence inside into something even heavier. The leather folder remained open on the library desk, its pages spread beneath the dim glow of a single antique lamp that Rafael had managed to get working with a portable battery.No one touched the documents.No one knew where to begin.Thea remained standing in front of her father's portrait, her fingers wrapped tightly around the letter addressed to her. She had read it twice already, yet every sentence seemed to carry a different meaning each time she looked at it.William watched her quietly.She hadn't cried.That worried him more than if she had.People who carried grief for years often forgot how to let it out."You should sit," he said softly.Thea slowly shook her head."If I sit, I'll think.""And what are you doing now?"She looked at him with tired eyes."Trying not to."Neither of them spoke after

For several minutes, nobody said a word.The library had become suffocating, not because of the dust or the silence, but because every page inside the folder seemed capable of rewriting everything William and Thea thought they knew about their families.William closed the file and placed it carefully on the desk."We're assuming every page is true," he said calmly. "That's our first mistake."Rafael looked relieved that someone had finally said it."Exactly. Whoever wrote this wanted someone to read it. That means it could be evidence, or it could be manipulation."Elena nodded slowly. "Your father always said the most dangerous lie is the one mixed with enough truth."Thea remained staring at her father's portrait."My father wrote those notes.""He did," William replied. "But that doesn't mean every document inside this folder came from him."That made everyone pause.William walked toward the large desk in the middle of the library. Years of dust covered its surface except for one

The words did not feel real at first.Never let William discover what he really is.The sentence stayed suspended in the air of the library like something unfinished, like a thought that should not have been written down but was anyway. William read it again in his mind even after Thea had stopped holding the page. Even after silence took over the room completely.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.Even the mansion itself felt quieter, as if it had leaned in to listen.Thea was the first to break.“What does that mean?”Her voice came out smaller than before. Not scared exactly, but unstable in a way William had never heard from her.He didn’t answer immediately. His eyes stayed on the paper, on the handwriting that belonged to a dead man who somehow still managed to control the room.Elena took a step back.“I don’t like that line,” she whispered.Rafael exhaled sharply.“Yeah, no kidding.”But William didn’t react to them.Because his mind had already started working in a different directi

The mansion seemed quieter when they walked back inside.As if it had been waiting.The grand entrance remained dimly lit by moonlight slipping through the tall windows. Dust floated lazily through the air, and every step echoed against the marble floor. Outside, Orlov and his people stayed where they were. Nobody followed.Nobody tried to stop them.That somehow felt stranger than violence.William walked beside Thea without saying anything. Rafael and Elena followed a few steps behind, both unusually silent.Everyone was thinking about the same thing.Their fathers had known each other.They had worked together.Orlov had known both of them.And somehow all of it had remained hidden for years.Nothing made sense anymore.Thea suddenly stopped walking.William looked at her.She was staring toward the staircase."I remember this place."Her voice sounded distant.She wasn't talking to anyone in particular."My father used to sit there."She pointed toward the bottom steps."He'd read

Nobody spoke.The night seemed to freeze around the mansion, every sound disappearing beneath the weight of Orlov's words.You remind me of your father.William remained completely still.For a moment, he thought he had misheard him.Then he remembered the photograph.Vienna.The man standing beside Elena.Rafael's expression when he recognized him.Every strange coincidence that suddenly didn't feel like a coincidence anymore.His father had known these people.Somehow.Somewhere.And nobody had ever mentioned it.William slowly looked at Orlov."You knew my father."It wasn't a question.The older man nodded once."Yes."Silence."How?"Orlov studied him carefully.For several seconds, he didn't answer.Then—"Your father was an intelligent man."William's expression hardened."That's not an answer.""No."The older man's gaze remained steady."It isn't."The silence between them became heavier.William had spent years believing he understood his father.Not completely, perhaps. No

For several long seconds, nobody inside the library moved.The headlights outside continued pouring through the tall windows, cutting through the darkness and turning the room into a battlefield divided by light and shadow. Footsteps echoed from somewhere beyond the walls, calm and unhurried, as if the people arriving had no reason to rush.Because they didn't.They knew exactly where everyone inside the mansion was.And that realization alone made the situation infinitely more dangerous.William slowly looked toward the windows again.Three vehicles.Maybe four.Enough people to surround the property completely.Enough to ensure nobody simply walked away.Rafael cursed quietly."I really hate being right."No one answered.Because nobody was interested in his accuracy at the moment.Thea remained staring toward the windows, her face pale but composed. There was fear in her eyes, but it wasn't the kind that caused panic. It looked familiar. The kind of fear that returned after years a

The silence left behind by Orlov’s call felt heavier than any threat William had faced before, not because the conversation frightened him, but because it clarified everything. There were no more assumptions now. No more fragmented patterns or indirect pressure meant to test reactions. The structur

I don’t like surprises.That’s the first thing people usually learn about me. The second is that I don’t forgive them.“Sir, we just received the updated report.”I didn’t look up from the tablet in my hand. “You’re ten minutes late.”“I know. The delay came fr
