Chapter 1

Deckard Shaw locked the safe and stepped back from the wall. Inside sat documents, photos, and a list of names—people who wanted his family dead. He'd spent years in the shadows, cleaning up messes his siblings never knew about. Now the threats were getting closer. His brother and sister lived normal lives, unaware of the danger circling them. Deckard wouldn't let anyone touch them. He'd hunt down every enemy first. He pulled out his phone and scrolled through property listings. The old hideouts wouldn't work anymore. He needed something better. Something permanent. His eyes stopped on a building outside the city—a modern structure with reinforced concrete walls and surveillance systems already installed. The place looked like an office complex but had been built for security. He made the call and bought it within the hour. His siblings would stay there when things got bad. Thick walls, locked gates, cameras on every corner. No one would get through. Two days later, Deckard stood inside the fortified safehouse, testing every lock and door. The security team had upgraded everything overnight. Motion sensors lined the perimeter. Steel shutters covered the windows. He moved to the control room and examined the monitors—twelve screens showing every angle of the property. A sleek panel with glowing indicators controlled the whole system. He tapped the screen and watched the cameras shift. The gates, the hallways, the rooftops—he could see it all. If anyone came within a hundred yards, he'd know. His siblings would be safe here. That was all that mattered now. He walked to the garage and pulled the cover off a car he'd bought the week before. The vehicle sat low and sleek, its polished metal body built for speed. He needed it ready for when things went wrong. The safehouse was strong, but no fortress held forever. When enemies broke through, his family would need to move fast. He started the engine and listened to it roar. The car would get them out, through back roads and tight streets, before anyone could follow. Deckard ran his hand along the hood and nodded. Everything was in place. The safehouse would protect them. The security system would warn him. The car would save them if all else failed. His siblings didn't know yet, but they would soon. He'd bring them here and tell them the truth. The Shaw family had enemies, and he'd spent his life keeping them away. Now it was time to keep his brother and sister close.
