I gripped the knife tightly, my heartbeat steady despite the circumstances. My wrists ached from the raw burn of the rope, but I ignored it. Pain was secondary to survival. I needed to get out of here, and I needed to do it before Levi walked into whatever trap they had laid for him.

The room was quiet again, but I knew it wouldn’t be for long. Livia was arrogant, but she wasn’t careless. She would have guards stationed outside, watching, waiting. Levi’s sister was another problem entirely. I had seen something flicker across her face, something almost human, but it didn’t mean I could trust her.

I moved quickly, crouching as I made my way toward the door. The knife in my hand was small, barely enough to do real damage unless I struck in exactly the right place. I pressed my ear against the heavy wood, listening.

Two men. Their voices were low, their conversation casual.

They weren’t expecting me to escape.

Good.

I took a slow breath and positioned myself against the wall

    I leaned back against the seat, trying to steady my breathing, but the fear still clung to me. The adrenaline was starting to fade, leaving a dull, aching exhaustion in its wake. Levi's grip on the wheel was tight, his knuckles white, but he didn't seem to notice. His eyes flicked between the rearview mirror and the road ahead, sharp and calculating, like he was waiting for something to happen, always prepared. His silence only made the tension between us heavier. The engine hummed beneath us, but it felt like the weight of the world was pressing down on me, on both of us.I could still feel the sting of the wound on my side, but I pushed it aside for now. I’d survived far worse. My mind kept replaying the events that had unfolded, the moment I realized the trap they had set for me, and the ruthless way Livia and Levi's sister had orchestrated it all. The sting of betrayal was bitter in my mouth, and I could taste it, but I couldn't afford to think too much on it—not yet.Levi’s grip

    I felt the weight of the silence between us, a suffocating, almost tangible force as Levi and I continued to drive through the darkened streets. The tension was thick, like the air just before a storm. I could feel it in the way his jaw clenched with each passing second, in the way his fingers tightened around the steering wheel, his knuckles growing paler with each beat of his heart. He was furious, no doubt about it. But underneath that fury, I could sense something else—a barely-contained panic, something raw, something real. It wasn’t just fear for me, though that was part of it. It was the overwhelming sense that we were standing on the edge of something we couldn’t control, something that was too big for us to fix on our own.I leaned back in the seat, my hands folded across my chest as I stared out the window, watching the city pass by in a blur of neon lights and shadows. My mind was racing, too many thoughts swirling at once, too many pieces of the puzzle still missing. I cou

    The air in the house felt cold as we entered, the silence hanging over us like an unwelcome guest. The shadows were long, stretching across the rooms as I walked through the familiar hallways. This house had been our sanctuary, our place of refuge in the middle of the chaos. But tonight, it felt different. The walls seemed to close in around me, the weight of what we were about to do pressing on my shoulders like an invisible burden.Levi was right beside me, his presence a constant reassurance, even as the tension between us grew thicker with every step we took. I could feel the weight of his gaze on me, the intensity in the way his eyes followed my every movement. He wasn’t just worried about me anymore. There was something more—something darker, something primal that I couldn’t ignore.“Are you sure about this?” Levi’s voice was low, a hint of concern lacing his words. He knew as well as I did that what we were about to do was dangerous, that the risk was far greater than anything

    I could feel the air change around us as we moved through the hallways, the tension thick, almost suffocating. The sound of my boots on the cold marble floors echoed, far too loud in the oppressive silence that surrounded us. There was no escaping the reality of the trap we had walked into. Every turn felt like we were being herded, funneled into something we couldn’t control.Levi was at my side, his presence a steadying force even as the walls seemed to close in on us. I could tell he was frustrated, his usual calm demeanor slipping as the situation unraveled. The intensity of his eyes, that sharp focus that had always been his strength, was now tinged with anger and concern. It was all so familiar, yet so different at the same time. We had been in situations like this before, but never this exposed, never this vulnerable.I glanced at him, my heart pounding in my chest, wondering how far we’d go before we hit the breaking point. "We’re too deep in," I said, my voice barely above a

    The darkness felt oppressive, like a heavy blanket smothering me. Every breath I took seemed harder than the last, each one tinged with the fear that had begun to creep into my bones. I couldn’t see Levi, but I could feel his presence beside me, the subtle heat of his body a silent reassurance amidst the chaos. His grip on my arm was firm, steady. He wasn’t panicking. And I had to remind myself that I couldn’t afford to panic either. Not now. Not when it seemed like the walls were closing in.Livia’s voice echoed in the shadows, taunting us, mocking us for thinking we could ever escape. I wanted to shout back at her, to tell her that we were stronger than she thought, that we wouldn’t fall into her trap. But the words died in my throat. We weren’t out of danger yet. We couldn’t afford to underestimate her, not even for a second.I could hear the faint shuffle of footsteps in the dark, the sound of boots on the cold marble floor, but I couldn’t pinpoint their location. They were moving

    I barely had time to think as the walls of the narrow hallway seemed to press in around us. The echo of our footsteps sounded so loud in my ears, like they could be heard by anyone in this building, every noise amplified in the silence that followed. The gunfire had stopped for now, replaced by the sound of men moving, quietly but deliberately, creeping in on us from every direction. The tension was palpable, thick in the air, like static before a storm. Levi was beside me, his presence unwavering, but I could feel the weight of the situation settling over him. He wasn't just worried for us—he was calculating every move, every contingency, trying to stay two steps ahead of an enemy that seemed to be everywhere.I tried to push the fear down. It didn't help. Every fiber of my being screamed for me to run, to get out, to save myself. But I couldn’t. Not when Levi was in this, not when we had come so far. The price had been too high to just walk away now."Stay close," Levi whispered, hi

    I wasn’t sure how long we’d been fighting, but it felt like hours, maybe days. Each moment blurred into the next as we moved, fought, and fought some more. The Rossettis, Livia, even Mr. Rossetti—they had been obstacles, pieces of the puzzle, but they weren’t the true threat. They were pawns, caught in a game they didn’t understand. It was always her. Levi’s twin sister. I had sensed it all along, but I hadn’t been able to put the pieces together until now. Every step we had taken, every move, it had all been leading us to her. She was the one who orchestrated this entire nightmare. The Rossettis had been too predictable, too visible. It had been her, pulling the strings from behind the scenes. And now, as we stood on the precipice of everything we had fought for, it became clear. She was here. She was the storm we had been trying to survive, and now it was time to face it head-on. Levi’s anger was palpable beside me. I could feel the tension in his every muscle, the way he gripp

    The world around me was a blur of motion, flashes of light and darkness, the steady beep of machines blending with the sound of Levi’s voice. He was calling my name, his hand gripping mine tightly, but everything felt distant, as though I was floating somewhere far from him.“Eliana, stay with me,” he said, his voice strained, as though it was costing him everything to speak. I could hear the panic there, the fear, but there was something else too—something I hadn’t heard before. Something raw. His hand tightened around mine, and I tried to squeeze back, but my fingers felt heavy, sluggish. I couldn’t focus, couldn’t stay present. My body felt foreign to me, as though I was losing control of it.“Eliana,” Levi’s voice broke through again, more urgent this time. “I need you to stay with me. Just a little longer, please.”I tried to respond, but no words came. Instead, I felt the p

    Years had passed since the day we fought for freedom, for peace, and for the life we have now. The life we had dreamed of for so long but never dared to imagine in the depth of our darkest days.Our home was no longer a symbol of chaos or fear—it was a sanctuary. The walls that once echoed with tension now hummed with the laughter of our children and the soft murmur of conversations that held no weight of the past. It was a place of peace, of love, of family.Levi stood by the window, looking out over the vast grounds of our estate. The sun was setting, casting a warm, golden light over everything. He had always been the protector, the one who looked out for everyone, but now, as I watched him from behind, I saw the shift. The years had softened him in ways I hadn't expected. His gaze, once sharp and filled with purpose, now held a quiet w

    We stood together, the weight of the world no longer pressing down on us. For the first time in what felt like forever, I could finally see the horizon ahead—clear, unobstructed, and full of promise. The past had been a storm, one we’d weathered with everything we had, but now the skies were calm, the air sweet with the scent of new beginnings.Levi’s hand found mine, his fingers wrapping around mine with that familiar, comforting strength. We had come so far, from the darkness of a life we never asked for, to this—this quiet, peaceful moment where everything felt right. We had built a life together, piece by piece, through the pain and the loss, through every challenge that had come our way. And now, we were free.I looked down at our son, sleeping peacefully in Levi’s arms, his tiny chest rising and falling with every breath. He was a symbol of everything we had fought for, everything we had dreamed of. He was our future, and that

    The world had changed for us. For the first time in a long while, I could breathe without the weight of the past suffocating me. Levi and I, side by side, were finally at peace. The endless battles, the constant fight for survival, all of it felt like it was behind us. There was no more running, no more hiding. We had built something together, something we never thought we’d have: a life that was free of fear, full of hope, and, most importantly, full of love.I watched Levi as he stood by the window, his hands resting lightly on the sill. The evening sun bathed him in a warm golden light, casting long shadows across the room. His face, once hardened by years of war and loss, now wore a calmness that I hadn’t thought possible. There were lines on his face, yes, but they were no longer lines of anger or sorrow. They were lines of experience, of wisdom. He had lived through so much, and yet, now, in this quiet moment, he was at peace. We both were.I leaned a

    Levi held the envelope in his hands, his fingers tracing the edges of it as if unsure whether to open it. The silence was heavy between us, each of us waiting for him to make the first move. I could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me. I had never expected to find myself in this situation, not with Levi’s mother standing before us, and certainly not with her holding something that could change everything. The tension was palpable, and for a moment, it felt like the room itself was holding its breath.I glanced at Levi, who was still staring down at the envelope, his jaw tense, his mind clearly processing everything. It wasn’t just the content of the letter that he was contemplating; it was the years of abandonment, of unanswered questions, of the emptiness that his mother had left in his life. No matter how much he tried to shield himself from it, the truth about her absence, the reason why she had walked away all those years ago, was something that

    The days after our vow renewal passed in a peaceful blur. For the first time in what felt like forever, there were no enemies at the gates, no secrets threatening to tear us apart. There was only the present—the quiet, intimate moments we shared as a family. Levi and I spent hours talking about our future, about the life we were going to build for our son. We reflected on all we had endured to get to this point, but even more so on the love we had for each other and the trust that had grown between us.In these moments, I felt a sense of calm that was foreign to me. In the past, I had always been on edge, waiting for the next betrayal, the next threat to arise. But now, in the safety of our home, with our son sleeping peacefully in his crib, I allowed myself to feel what I had always longed for—peace.Levi and I shared a quiet dinner one evening, the soft glow of the lights illuminating the room. Our son was asleep in his room, and for the first time,

    As I watched Levi hold our son, the weight of everything that had happened seemed to melt away. It was hard to believe that just months ago, we were fighting for survival, struggling with betrayals, with enemies lurking at every corner. And now here we were, in a hospital room, surrounded by the soft hum of machines and the faint scent of antiseptic, with our child between us. I couldn’t remember a time when I had felt more at peace.Levi had always been the force of nature, the leader who commanded respect, but here, in this moment, I saw a side of him I hadn’t truly known before. The man I thought I understood—cold, calculated, driven by the mission—was now softened, changed by the simple act of holding our child. Our son, our little miracle, had transformed him in ways I didn’t think were possible.I turned my head to look at him, my hand resting gently on his arm. He was staring down at the baby with a soft expression on his face, his

    The moment Levi held our baby for the first time was one I would never forget. I had seen him strong, cold, ruthless in battle, and yet here, in the quiet, dimly lit hospital room, all that faded away. It was just him, me, and the tiny life we had created together.His arms were gentle, yet his grip was firm, as if he were afraid to let go, as if the very idea of losing this moment, losing this piece of him, terrified him more than anything else. His face was soft, his eyes filled with a vulnerability I had never seen before. He looked at our child with a kind of reverence, his gaze intense and full of awe.“I never thought…” Levi’s voice faltered, thick with emotion, and for the first time, I saw the cracks in his armor. His gaze flickered from the baby to me, and there was a shift in him, something profound. “I never thought I could feel like this. So... so helpless. But in the best way. This... this little one has already changed
