Chapter 11: Collision

MORRISONThe way Quinn looked at me. I knew something had changed in my face.I tried to keep it subtle, but she was too smart and didn’t miss it.I slipped the phone back into my pocket and thought of the best possible ways to convince her to come with me.If my head of security said she was in danger, then she really was, and the earlier I acted, the better.I was not unaware of the fact that Jasper was keeping tabs on her just as I did. In fact, he had more seasoned hands and the resources.I was extra careful myself. So, reading the texts, it shifted me a little.“Five minutes,” Quinn reminded, her voice very calm.My eyes lifted slowly to her, darker and sharper.“We don’t have five minutes anymore, Quinn.”“And what is it?”I hesitated, “You need to pack.”Her brows furrowed slightly. “Excuse me?”“I don’t need to repeat myself, Quinn,” I walked closer and reached for her, fingers closing around her shoulder.“I just got a message. We need to leave now. You are in danger.”She s

Chapter 12: Behind The Mask

SERAPHINASomewhere in the distance, something was breaking.Not loudly, but visible. The exact moment everything began to fall apart.From the car, I watched clenched fists and jaws, with calmness that comes with anticipation of the irreversible happening.The tension came not from the actions, but from what was about to happen.A “kill or be killed” feeling lurked in the atmosphere. Jasper was the first to move; his usual calculated composure was completely shattered. I saw a hurt ego.“How dare you!” he barked.His eyes were wide, panicked, and darting, that desperate look that showed terror.It was all a twist space between fight or flight. Every person there was a weapon waiting to be aimed.And the best part? None of them realized they were exactly where I needed them to be.“Let me go..” Quinn struggled.Meeting Jasper with a roaring, unfiltered rage, her face was impassive, but her pulse hammered visibly in her throat.Her thick brows furrowed, and her eyes blazed at her targe

Chapter 13: Hidden Villain

QUINNThe sirens came just before everything could turn irreversible.For a split second, no one could move. Not Jasper or the men behind him. Not even Morrison.Jasper’s grip on my hand tightened as I struggled with him, then loosened, not because he wanted to, but because he had to.The flashing lights cut through the environment, blinking colours: red, violet and blue. I found them fascinating even then.The authority had arrived, and whatever madness both of them were made of would stop automatically. That was the line they could not cross publicly, no matter how much power they claimed they had.“Step away from her!”The voice of the officer was firm and commanding, not high, not low; he exuded professionalism.Jasper exhaled hardly, his chest rising and falling like he was forcing himself back into control. His finger slid off my arm, but his eyes never left my face.“You called them?” he asked, low and dangerous.I didn’t reply. Bold of him to think I was kidding when I threate

Chapter 14: I Left With Morrison

QUINNMy gaze shifted instinctively to the edge of the room.I thought my eyes were playing tricks the first time I saw the flash of light just above the doorway.And for a moment, my new peaceful home was no longer safe.“Why are you standing like that and just watching?” Morrison asked.I raised a finger to my lips, “Don’t”, my voice barely above a whisper. “We are not alone.”He shifted closer, “What is that? You saw anybody?”“Almost,” I said, “the light flashed and faintly reflected two figures hiding over there.” I pointed at the doorway, “I saw them.”Morrison darted his eyes around the room, his nose shifted as if he was trying to sniff out the suspects. I followed his eyes and didn’t even see when the gun appeared.My heart slammed hard, not the fear of a gun. But the realization that he came prepared for something like this.“Let me handle it. Stay here,” he said.He took gentle steps, aiming the gun directly at nothing, but straight and steady. His body angled, and his att

Chapter 15: A shift

QUINNMorrison quickly placed a call, and minutes later, a car pulled up.I thought to myself, this wasn’t the man I walked away from years ago. That version of Morrison didn’t command influence or move like the world adjusted for him.He had men at his call and beckon, controlling and dishing out orders. The aura was intimidating to a fault.Little wonder Jasper was running crazy each time he saw his face.I hopped into the car with him. I didn’t know where we were headed, but I followed, not because I trusted him, but because I had no better options.As I sat in the back seat of the tinted glass SUV, the city moved past in blurred light and shadows, just like everything else in my life right now.I racked my head over the activities of the past days. My divorce, Seraphina’s pregnancy and mine.And now, Jasper would stop at nothing till he had gotten what he wanted. And when everything seemed under control, a bigger mysterious threat appeared.“You okay?” Morrison asked.“I will be.

Chapter 16: Catalyst

MORRISONI should have walked away the moment she confessed. Instead, I brought her deeper in.Walking side by side with Quinn, I found myself wondering why I was going all out for her.This is the same woman who rejected me, chose another man over me, even when I literally begged her to allow me to show her just how much she meant to me.Perhaps I was the second choice and backup plan, and I allowed myself to be just that.“Did you hear what I said?”Her thin voice snapped me from my wandering world.“I am just thinking of the better way to follow this up,” I lied.I took a turn to the left side of the building, which housed the VIP area, and she followed quietly. I didn’t ask what she said earlier, and she didn’t reiterate either.We arrived at one of the rooms where she would stay for the meantime. It was at the far end of the hallway, highly luxurious. A 5-star.“Why are you doing all these for me? Helping me?” she asked.“Am I? I replied.Quinn turned and walked slowly to the win

Chapter 17: Reckoning

MORRISONThe message didn’t come as a surprise; it was the timing.I knew men like Jasper; they never back down, they storm and demand until they’ve gotten it.“We need to talk, you will want to hear this.” ~ Unknown contact.I stared at the screen for a second, longer than necessary. There was no name or signature. But I didn’t need one; the tone said it all. It was Jasper.My thumb hovered around the screen, not to confirm the identity, but to reply. A second message came before I could type—“You are already in deeper than you think. Come alone.”I inhaled. So, that was how he wanted to play it. Then I would abide by it.I didn’t say a word about it to Quinn, didn’t even tell her when I left. Because whatever this was, it meant it wasn’t meant to be shared.And if Jasper was baiting me, I was walking straight into it.The location is followed later in another text. A private warehouse in a street I know so well.By the time I stepped out of the car, the night had settled into somet

Chapter 18: The Pressure Point

MORRISONThe silence wasn’t empty; it was loaded.Looking at his face, I could see the uneasiness and alertness. But he hid it under a smile.Jasper circled me, enough to remind me he thought he still had control. He exhaled the smoke from the cigarette directly on me.I stood still, my face lowered to the ground. Waiting for the first blow or kick. Or some men coming out to strangle me.But it didn’t happen. Jasper did not do any of such.“You are not going to push? No ambush or cheap shots?” I taunted, “You are losing your touch.”He laughed out loud, the kind that reechoed in the empty warehouse. “Why should I? I think we should agree that we are best of enemies.”Best of enemies? Silly! Whatever he meant by that.“You are already late,” he said.My eyes narrowed. “What do you mean by that?”He laughed. “I know your coming back is not a coincidence. But whoever is leading you, be very careful.”He tapped my shoulder from behind. “I am giving you that advice as a best enemy. You hav

Chapter 19: The Signal

MORRISONI stared at the message for some time, waiting for it to disappear, or even explain itself.But it didn’t.Quinn was not telling me all she knew, I was sure. I knew very well that this kind of attack does not come to just ordinary people.I stepped closer and handed the phone to her. “Take!”“What?” she grumbled.“Read it,” I instructed.“She was never meant to survive," she read slowly. Hearing her say that made me unsettled. It didn’t sound like she was reading it, but telling it.“What does that mean?” I asked.She shrugged. “I don’t know. Is this about me?”Maybe she believed that she didn’t know, or wanted me to believe so. But one thing was certain: the message was not just random.“Quinn,” I said slowly, “what exactly are you hiding from me?”“If I knew something, I wouldn’t be standing here asking questions,” she replied.“You know,” I lit up a stick of cigarettes, “I am beginning to think you manipulate people to get what you want.”“If I wanted to manipulate you,”

Chapter 20: Investigation

MORRISONI stood in front of the glass wall of my dimly lit office, watching my reflection as if it could answer me.Because tonight, I wasn’t just looking for information. I was looking for the truth someone was trying hard to bury.The light emanating from three large monitors cast a cold, gray glow on my body.I took a deep breath and turned around, focusing my attention on the primary screen where documents were loaded.I then walked gently to the workspace chair and took a seat. Every second felt borrowed as I waited for my head of security.A mug of cold coffee sat untouched beside the sprawling network diagram taped to the wall, with detailed routers and firewalls needed to bypass security.My fingers hovered over the keyboard, ready to dig through deleted logs and hidden partitions to uncover the true identity of “Quinn Ledger.”Minutes later, the door clicked open, and my head of security entered.“Good evening, Sir,” he bowed as he greeted respectfully.“Welcome, Alex,” I poi
