HE CAUGHT HIS MOTHER ATTACKING HIS WIFE… THEN DISCOVERED THE SECRET THAT DESTROYED EVERYTHING

Chapter 7: Hangar 4

The private airstrip was heavily guarded. Private jets sat like sleek black birds of prey under the harsh floodlights. Liam drove the armored SUV straight through the chain-link fence, the screech of tearing metal alerting everyone.

He didn't stop. He rammed the SUV directly into the barricade of black sedans guarding Hangar 4, sending heavily armed men scattering. Liam kicked the door open, firing cover shots as he sprinted into the massive hangar.

Inside, the roar of a jet engine was deafening. The plane was prepping for takeoff. At the foot of the boarding stairs stood Evelyn, looking as elegant and unbothered as ever. Beside her, two guards held a battered and bruised Chloe on her knees.

And in Evelyn’s arms, wrapped in a luxurious blanket, was a baby.

"Liam!" Chloe screamed, her voice tearing through the sound of the engines.

"Let them go, Mother!" Liam roared, stepping into the light, his gun raised. "It's over!"

Evelyn laughed, the sound cold and hollow. "Over? Oh, my sweet, naive boy. It's just beginning." She handed the baby to a man in a dark suit—the cartel buyer. "Take the child. I'll deal with my son."

"No!" Chloe fought with unimaginable strength, biting the guard's hand. She broke free and threw herself desperately at the man holding her baby. The man stumbled, dropping his weapon.

"Shoot her!" Evelyn shrieked, losing her composure completely.

The guards raised their weapons at Chloe. Time seemed to slow down. Liam didn't think. He threw himself in the line of fire, shielding his wife and his child.
