Isabel POV I stood in front of the white bungalow with a red door. I took one more look at the address then at the house number just to be sure I was at the right place. Why would she come all the way to Paris? Like France! I adjusted my coat taking in a deep breath before walking to the red shiny door. I knocked on the door and few minutes later the door swung open revealing a little girl of about seven years." Hi." I greeted. She looked at me weirdly squinting her eyes at me. " You don't look like a nanny, you look young so I'm pretty sure you can't make my favourite meal. So, no you can't be my nanny. Don't bother entering." She ranted maintaining eye contact with me the whole time. I stood there confused at what this was all about. " Who's at the door Esme?" Someone called out from inside the house. The little girl looked at me straight in the eye and shouted a no replying that person before slamming the door in my face. Ok that had to be one rude girl. I knocked again and th

Isabel POV.I got to the park to find him already seated waiting for me. " Are you always this late ?" Jamin asked immediately he saw me " Good morning to you." I said as I took a sip from my coffee. " Why are you late."" Last I checked I don't work for your." He rolled his eyes at me." Let's go." He said standing up which I followed suit immediately. We walked towards the black Rolls Royce. We got in and got settled in. " Now tell me , how can you help." I asked immediately he started driving." Who are you looking for?" " I'm looking for Katie, She was my nanny at some point in my life" His head snapped at me like he was suprised." What a coincidence Miss Cruz." " I don't remember telling you my name, how do you know my name? Are you stalking me?" I asked as all my safety senses got alerted." No, I don't. I don't stalk people. It's usually the other way round." I rolled my eyes at him. His confidence is as big as a house." So where are we going to?" I asked. " It's not to

Isabel POV My short stay in Paris was good all thanks to aunt Katie and Jamin. Jamin was nice enough to show me around his company, some cool spot I could sit and watch the sun set and most importantly a cafe to get the best coffee in all of Paris. " Would I see you again?" Katie asked. " Maybe I might be back." I said before engulfing her in a big hug which she reciprocated. " Well it was nice meeting you Miss Cruz." " Nice to meet you too Mr. Cole." I got on the plane back to Philippines. There was something different in the air. Immediately I entered Philippines the aura was very different from that of Paris. My driver was already stationed at the arrival terminal waiting for me. " Welcome back Miss Cruz." He said getting my luggage from me to put it in the car. " Thank you Benjamin." " Ma'am your father wants to see you." I knew that by father he meant Mr. Cruz. I would admit with everything that has been happening I hadn't gone home. It was funny how quickly the Cruz dyna

Miguel POV It is so hurtful for the one you love to lose their trust in you all because of your foolishness. I dailed her number again. " Hi, this is Isabel. Just drop a message and I'll get back to you later." It had been going straight to voicemail but I just kept on calling from time to time hoping that one day she would pick my calls and hear me out. I knew I had a lot on my plate to deal with. The company, and the gang rape video from the past that is in God knows who's hand. If that video was to release it would be very lethal and destructive. It would have a very negative impact on every one that was involved. I just needed a distraction from my noisy mind, and escape room where I could settle down for a moment. That distraction and safe space was Isabel. I decided to go to her office, I believe I have given her enough space for her to process everything. I don't think I can go another day without hearing from her. I alighted in front of Cruz group building. I got greeting

Isabel POV " I have an appointment with Director Regina." I said to the receptionist at Reyes industries. She typed on her laptop for a while probably confirming the time and date." What's your name ma'am?" She asked me as she picked up the intercom." Miss Isabel Cruz." Once she dropped the call she directed me to Director Regina's office. " Isabel! It's so lovely to have your here." She said as she stood up to give me a curt hug. " Regina it's nice to see you too." I said reciprocating the hug." Please do have a seat." She gestured at the chair on the other side of the table. " Thank you, your office looks so nice." I complimented. The brown and white colour blend gave off a nice aura. " Oh my interior decorator is great you should try her."" Sure I would definitely do that." I said before subtly looking around the office again." What would you like to have? Water, juice, tea or coffee?" I couldn't trust that my coffee would be made perfectly to my liking." Water is fine."

Isabel POV " I'm fine" I mumured when he tried to feed me. " Isabel you can't keep doing this." Miguel said. From his facial expression I could tell that he was somewhat pissed. I was suprised to see Miguel at the hospital with me. I knew I was having a panic attack combined with my asthma attack but I had no idea how I ended up in the hospital. " I'm not doing anything." I said acting indifferent." You have to eat so that you can take your medication." I ignored him diverting my attention to someone else." What else do you want me to do Isabel, I tell you I love, you don't want to believe. I tell you that it is all in the past. I've told you my whole life story what more do you want me to do." " Maybe stay away from me." I said without thinking. Before I could process what I had said I could already see a hurt expression on his face. " You want me to stay away from you Isabel? Then so be it." He said angrily before walking towards the door to leave. A part of me wanted to call

Isabel POVFlashback The Lawson mansion was quiet as only the sound of the soft patter of the rain was heard. I sat on the chair beside baby Esmeralda's cradle rocking it to get her to sleep. Mr and Mrs Lawson had told me that there were going to come in a bit late that night. They still had work at the office to do. They pleaded with me to stay with the baby till they are back which I agreed to. My alert senses peaked when I heard the front door open. That must be Mr and Mrs Lawson. I took one last look at baby Esmeralda and she was fast asleep. I picked up my bag and tiptoed out of the room trying not to make a single noise. When I got downstairs i was met with Mr. Lawson sitting in a corner of the living room." Welcome back sir, how about Mrs. Lawson." I asked hoping I would get her extra hour pay that night. " She's not here." They had both called me together to tell me that were working late and I thought that they were going to come back together.I sighed as my hope was sh

Miguel POV I glanced at the clock and it was only three o'clock AM. I haven't been able to sleep properly for the past few days. Each time I wake up to a nightmare of that night. Rosa is always after me and pointing accusing fingers at me. I decided to shake it off my mind and focus on something else. M Isabel Cruz. The woman that stole my heart and then broke it. I couldn't really blame her with everything that was done to her by that bastard Antonio. My phone vibrated on my bedside table and I picked it up to see who it was. It was an unknown number. I wasn't expecting any call at that hour. I swiped it and placed it over my ear. " Hi babe." I cringed at the recognition of the voice. " What do you want Vanessa?" I asked with irritation in my voice." Babe, I just called to set a date for us to meet." " I thought I had made it clear to you that I I'm not interested in seeing you anywhere near me or my family." I said pulling myself to sit up on the bed. " How about that luxurio

"Feeding off what?" Caleb asked, his rifle sweeping the area.Before Finn could answer, a low growl echoed through the village. The team froze, their weapons trained on the source of the sound. From the shadows emerged creatures unlike any they had faced before. Their forms were barely humanoid, their bodies composed of writhing tendrils and jagged shards of obsidian. Their glowing eyes burned with malice."Contact!" Ruby shouted, firing the first shot.The creatures attacked with terrifying speed, their movements unnatural and erratic. Caleb fired at the nearest one, his bullets shattering its obsidian exterior but failing to slow it down. Selene charged forward, her blade glowing as it sliced through a tendril that lashed out at her."Aim for the cores!" Finn yelled, his device beeping wildly.

''I'll feel better if I sleep, I told myself.Ghb yuu yuu y7u rrd tre oil uiuBut immediately as I was about drifting into sleep, I heard a sound that made me jump right up from bed.Asher's ears sparked in defense, his growl filling the whole room. The sound alone sent a chill running through my spine, but I couldn't look away from the window. There was a shadow outside that seemed to shift, stretching and bending unnaturally than they should have.I stood in fear, not being able to feel my legs which felt heavy. All I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat which kept on thundering in my chest. A loud bang at the door made me jump from my bed. I gasped out of shock, crawling on my knees in order to peep through the door. before I could even make it, the door burst open with enough force to slam against the wall. Two figures stood in the doorway, covered in dark shadows.GyyTheir eyes were glowing with yellow, a sight that

"Another kilometer," Finn replied, adjusting the scanner. "But the energy is… erratic. It's like the cluster is unstable, but it's pulling resources from somewhere."Ruby nodded, her grip tightening on her rifle. "Stay alert. The Shadow never makes things easy." The whole team were on high alert as they lifted their weapons higher ready to attack at the slightest movement The cluster appeared suddenly, nestled within a narrow gorge. Tendrils of dark energy snaked along the ground, pulsating faintly. At its center was a twisted structure, a crude spire of shadow and stone that seemed to breathe with unnatural life."Looks like a smaller version of the core," Finn murmured. "But it's… fractured. If we can destabilize it, the whole thing should collapse."Ruby surveyed the area. "Let's make it happen. You handle the spire. I'll cover you."As Finn approached the structure, the ground trembled. Creatures emerged from the shadows, their forms misshapen but vicious. Ruby fired a quick burs

Finn's scanner beeped intermittently, struggling to maintain accuracy. "The interference is worse than I expected," he admitted, frowning at the flickering display. "We're flying blind out here."Selene's eyes scanned the horizon. "Then we rely on instincts. This isn't the first time we've worked without a map."Zoe smirked faintly. "She's right. Besides, if anything jumps out, I'll just cut it down."Ruby kept her rifle at the ready, her voice cutting through the tension. "Stay sharp. Whatever's waiting for us, it knows we're coming."The signal led them to an ancient ruin, partially buried beneath layers of shadow-infused earth. The structure was unlike anything they'd encountered before—crumbling stone walls laced with veins of pulsing dark energy. Tendrils of shadow coiled and twisted through the air, moving as if alive.Finn's eyes widened as he studied the ruin. "This place… it's amplifying the signal. The core's energy is dormant but concentrated here. If we can disable it, we'

Ruby led the way, her voice cutting through the chaos. "Stay together! Keep moving!"A massive tendril slammed into the path ahead, cutting them off. Selene darted forward, her blade slicing through the tendril in a single, decisive strike. "Go! I've got this!"The team pushed forward, the exit coming into view just as the chamber let out a deafening roar. They burst into the open air, the ground beneath them trembling as the chamber collapsed entirely.Finn stumbled to his knees, his scanner clutched tightly in his hands. He stared at the screen, his face pale. "The energy… it's… it's heading somewhere else."Ruby turned to him, her expression grim. "Where?"Finn looked up, his voice shaking. "I don't know. But whatever it is, it's not good."The team's breaths came in heavy gasps as they stared out over the Wastes. The Shadow's remnants weren't just lingering. They were regrouping, gathering strength for something far worse.Ruby's grip tightened on her rifle. "We'll stop it. Whatev

The mechanical voice over the intercom had been haunting in its finality: "Containment protocol initiated. No one leaves."I bolted from the server room with my laptop clutched to my chest, my mind racing. Somewhere in these files was a way out, a weakness in the system I'd unwittingly helped build."Miguel!" I called, spotting him barricading the main corridor. His eyes snapped to me."What did you find?" he demanded, not pausing in his task of positioning wreckages for cover."More data on the project—but it's a mess. They've buried the important files under layers of encryption.""Then unbury them," he snapped. "We're running out of time!"I didn't argue. My hands shook as I knelt beside him, setting up my laptop on a nearby crate. The battle outside raged, but my focus was on the scre

Miguel's POVThe headlights caught her face fully now, and there was no mistaking it.Our mother.Her face was pale, lined with the kind of exhaustion that only comes from years of pain, yet her eyes held that same piercing intensity I remembered as a child.Fifteen years. Fifteen years without a word. Without an explanation.I pushed open the car door. Cold air hit me, but my chest burned hotter than ever."Stay in the car," Dad ordered, his voice taut with authority."Like hell I will." I stepped out, heart pounding. "Fifteen years. And you think showing up now—like this—is enough?"She took a step forward."Miguel, please. There's so much you don't—"I cut her off, my voice trembling. "Then explain it. No more riddles. No more secrets. Why now?"Behind me, Isabel's voice cut through the tension."Miguel! Diego's pulse is dropping again!

The air in the resistance base buzzed with an energy that was equal parts anticipation and dread. Though Ruby and her team had delivered a crippling blow to the Shadow, the cracks in the landscape, the faint echoes of corruption still lingering in the Wastes, spoke to a danger far from eradicated. The Shadow's remnants were more than just scars; they were seeds, threatening to sprout into new horrors if left unchecked.Ruby stood in the command center, leaning over a table strewn with maps and tactical reports. The dim light overhead cast sharp shadows across her face. Evelyn's voice was sharp as ever as she discussed deployments with the council."We've dispatched scouts to all regions marked by Finn's residual energy readings," Evelyn said, her fingers tracing the map. "But reports from the south are troubling. A village near the Wastes border… it's gone dark. No communication. No survivors seen leaving."Finn adjusted his device, the holographic map flickering to life above the tab
