All Chapters of Professor Grayson's Favorite sin: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

The safe house was located on the outskirts of the city. It was a nondescript building that looked like any other structure in the neighborhood. The windows were dark, the doors were locked. The security was invisible but absolute, anyone passing by would have no idea what was happening inside.Lennon sat at the table in the center of the room. Damien was beside him. Roman was across from them, Archer stood near the door with his arms crossed. Evelyn and Scarlett were in the other room with Luca.The associate sat at the head of the table. His hands were still shaking. His eyes were still darting around the room, he looked like a man who had been running for a very long time. His clothes were wrinkled and his face was pale."Tell us about the file."The associate took a breath. "Kessler has been building it for years. Decades, maybe. He started collecting information when he was still in politics."Damien leaned forward. "What kind of information?"The associate met his eyes. "Everyt

The news came at seven in the morning. Lennon was in the kitchen making coffee when his phone buzzed with an alert from the surveillance team. He set the coffee down and opened the message. His heart stopped when he read the words."Kessler spotted at the airport. He's back in the city."Lennon stared at the screen for a long moment. He read the message again to make sure he hadn't misunderstood. The words were the same. Kessler was back. He had returned to the city after weeks of hiding in Europe. The man who had tried to destroy their family was now in the same city.Damien limped into the kitchen. His leg was still in a cast. His face was pale from the effort of moving. He was using his crutches but he was getting faster with each passing day. His eyes were still heavy with exhaustion."What is it?"Lennon held up the phone. "He's back. Kessler is back in the city."Damien's face went hard. The softness that had been there during their recovery vanished instantly. "Are you sure?

The news hit like a bomb exploding in the center of the city. Every channel was covering the story. Every website had the file posted. Every newspaper was rushing to print special editions, the information was everywhere and there was no stopping it.Lennon sat in the penthouse living room. The television was on but the sound was off. He couldn't bear to hear the words being spoken by the reporters. The images on the screen told him everything he needed to know. His face was on every channel. Damien's face was on every channel, their past was being dissected for the entire world to see.Damien stood at the window. His leg was still in a cast. His face was hard and unreadable. He hadn't spoken in twenty minutes, he was staring out at the city below."This is bad."Lennon looked at him. "I know."Damien turned. "This is worse than bad. This is catastrophic, this is the end of everything."Lennon stood up. "We need to get ahead of this. We need to control the narrative.""How? It's alr

The courtroom was packed to capacity. Every seat in the gallery was occupied by reporters, spectators, and curious onlookers who had come to witness the latest chapter in the Grayson saga. The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife. People whispered to each other in hushed tones, the air was heavy with anticipation.Lennon sat at the defense table. Damien was beside him. Their hands were clasped together under the table. They had been brought from their separate cells that morning and reunited for the first time in days. The sight of each other was a relief that Lennon felt in his very bones. He had been so afraid that he would never see Damien again.The attorney sat on their other side. She was calm and focused. She had been preparing for this moment for weeks.Her files were organized on the table in front of her. Her arguments were ready, she had gone over every possible scenario.The prosecutor sat at the opposite table. His face was smug. He had been confide

Roman called back ten minutes later. He had a name."Marcus Webb. He was one of Kessler's lieutenants. Low-level but connected. He disappeared about six months before Kessler was arrested and we assumed he went into hiding when things started falling apart.""What's his connection to us?""He blames you for Kessler's downfall. He blames all of us, he's been posting on forums and message boards for months. Conspiracy theories and threats and rants about how we destroyed the network and ruined his life. The FBI had him on a watch list but he slipped through.""And now he's here.""It looks that way."The next morning Damien gathered everyone in the living room. Roman, Archer, Scarlett and Evelyn. Lennon sat on the couch with Luca in his lap and Damien stood by the window with the curtains still drawn."We're not running," Damien said. "We're not hiding. We've done too much of that already.""What's the plan?" Archer asked."We find him before he finds us. Roman has a name and a histor
