Chapters 58: Stepping into the Light

Olivia's POV

The golden light of dawn seeped through the cracks in the boarded-up windows, illuminating the small room where Leonardo and I sat.

The air was thick with unspoken words, each of us lost in our thoughts.

I stared at my hands, clenched in my lap, as a wave of frustration bubbled inside me.

This wasn't the life I wanted.

"I can't do this anymore," I said suddenly, my voice breaking the heavy silence.

Leonardo, who had been pacing near the window, stopped and turned to face me. His dark eyes softened as they met mine, but there was a hint of worry behind them.

"Do what?" he asked, his voice low.

"This." I gestured vaguely around the room. "Hiding. Running. Living in fear of what Alicia will do next. It's not living, Leonardo. It's surviving."

He crossed the room in a few long strides, crouching in front of me so we were at eye level. His hands rested on my knees, grounding me with their warmth.

"I know," he said quietly. "I hate it too.

    Chapter 59: The Web TightensAlicia's POVThe glow of the city skyline outside my office windows was usually calming, a reminder of everything I had built. Tonight, though, it felt suffocating. I leaned against the edge of my desk, swirling the wine in my glass as I stared at the reports Frank had sent me.Leonardo and Olivia weren't hiding anymore."They've decided to fight," I said aloud, my voice dripping with amusement. "How noble."Victor Navarro sat across from me, his dark suit impeccable, his face impassive. He sipped his drink without a word, his sharp eyes fixed on me."They've grown bold," Victor said finally, setting his glass down. "That makes them dangerous."I smirked, turning to face him fully. "They're not dangerous, Victor. They're desperate."He raised an eyebrow. "Desperation can make people unpredictable. Don't underestimate them."I rolled my eyes, setting my glass down on the desk. "I've handled Leonardo for years. He's predictable, Victor. He reacts, never pla

    Chapter 60: Breaking FreeOlivia's POVThe penthouse glimmered in the morning light, but I could feel the weight of the world pressing against its polished walls. It was strange how a place so luxurious could feel so suffocating. The spacious rooms, the gleaming marble floors, the panoramic city view-all of it seemed like a lie.Leonardo stood near the window, his hands in his pockets, staring out at the bustling city below. I could see the tension in his shoulders, the tightness in his jaw. He hadn't said much since Frank left to "gather more information."I didn't trust Frank.There was something about the way he looked at us, the way he spoke with just enough vagueness to keep us on edge. But Leonardo trusted him, and I didn't have the energy to fight about it."What are you thinking about?" I asked softly, breaking the silence.Leonardo turned to me, his dark eyes meeting mine. "Alicia."Of course. She was the shadow looming over us, the constant reminder that we weren't free y

    A Crack Leonardo's POVThe ride back to the penthouse was oppressively silent. Olivia sat beside me, her hands folded tightly in her lap. Her face was calm, but I knew her well enough to see the tension in her clenched jaw, the flicker of doubt in her eyes.Frank sat in the passenger seat, tapping a rhythm on his knee. He had barely said a word since we left Alicia's office, which only fueled the unease gnawing at me.Alicia had been too composed, too sure of herself. Her threats, while sharp, didn't carry the usual venom. It was as though she was playing with us, letting us think we had gained some ground.Something wasn't right.When we reached the penthouse, Olivia was the first to move, heading straight to the expansive windows that overlooked the city. The evening sun cast a warm glow over her features, but she didn't seem to notice."She's planning something," Olivia said, her voice cutting through the quiet.I nodded, stepping closer to her. "I know. But whatever it is, we'

    Unmasking LiesOlivia's POV Leonardo stood at the kitchen counter, his back to me as he flipped through Frank's latest batch of documents. Every so often, he'd pause, his brow furrowed in concentration, but I could tell his mind wasn't entirely on the pages in front of him.Mine wasn't either.Frank had left less than an hour ago, his usual confident stride and smooth words lingering in my mind like a bad taste. No matter how much he smiled or claimed to be on our side, I couldn't shake the feeling that he was playing us."Leonardo," I called softly, breaking the silence.He looked up, his expression tired but attentive. "What is it?"I hesitated, weighing my words carefully. "What if Frank isn't who we think he is?"His gaze sharpened, and he set the papers down. "You've been suspicious of him since the beginning," he said, stepping closer."And you haven't?" I shot back, crossing my arms. "You're the one who taught me to question people's motives. Why are you letting him get so c

She was trying to stay calm, but I could see the tension in the way her fingers pressed against each other.Frank sat in the front passenger seat, his tone casual as he gave directions to the venue. He was too relaxed, too confident. I couldn't stop myself from studying him-the way his shoulders didn't carry the same weight as mine, the way his words were always carefully measured.Olivia's instincts about him had been right. He was working against us, and I'd been too blind to see it.Now, I was done giving him the benefit of the doubt.The venue was a high-end bar tucked away in one of the quieter parts of the city. Its sleek, modern design was a stark contrast to the chaos simmering beneath the surface of our lives.Frank led the way inside, weaving through the tables with the ease of someone who'd been he

    Chapter 64: A Dangerous GameOlivia's POVThe walls of the penthouse felt like they were closing in on me. The knowledge of Frank's betrayal weighed heavily on my mind, turning every interaction with him into a careful act of control.I couldn't let him see the anger simmering beneath the surface or the fear twisting in my gut.Leonardo had been calm when he told me the truth, but I could see the fire burning in his eyes. It wasn't just anger at Frank, it was anger at himself for letting someone so dangerous get this close."We have to be smart," he told me last night as we finalized our plan. "If we move too soon, we risk everything."I agreed with him, but waiting was agony.Frank arrived early the next morning, his usual smug smile in place. He set his briefcase on the coffee table and began pulling out folders, his movements practiced and precise."We're making progress," he said, flipping through the papers. "Navarro's operations are more vulnerable than we thought. If we strik

    Chapter 65: Between Truth and LiesOlivia's POVThe city looked alive outside the penthouse windows, its lights twinkling like stars against the inky black sky. But tonight, those lights felt more like warning signals, flickering and buzzing with danger.I sat at the edge of the couch, my hands gripping the armrest as my mind replayed the events of the day. Frank's words, Michael's calculated demeanor, and Leonardo's quiet resolve-they all felt like puzzle pieces I couldn't quite fit together."We need to move carefully," Leonardo had said after the meeting, his tone steady but cold. "Frank's playing a long game, but we'll catch him slipping soon enough."I believed him, but I hated the waiting.The sound of the elevator doors opening pulled me from my thoughts. I glanced up as Leonardo stepped into the living room, his tie loosened and his jacket slung over one arm."You're still up," he said, his voice low.I nodded, tucking my legs under me. "Couldn't sleep."He sat down beside

I could see the tension in the way her shoulders hunched, the way her jaw clenched.Frank's betrayal was no longer a theory. It was a fact, proven by the chaos at the warehouse. And now, we were left to pick up the pieces and figure out our next move before Alicia tightened the noose.When we reached the penthouse, Olivia stepped out of the car first, her movements quick and agitated. I followed her inside, the weight of everything that had just happened pressing heavily on my shoulders.She turned to face me as soon as the door shut behind us."What now?" she asked, her voice sharp. "Frank played us, Leonardo. He set us up, and we walked right into it."I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling slowly. "I know.""Then why aren't we doing anything about it?" she demanded, her frustration bubbling to the surf

Lily's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to find her standing by the back door, already in her sneakers, her backpack slung over her shoulder as though she was ready for an adventure."Did you finish your chores first?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.Lily made a face but nodded. "Yes, Mommy. I made my bed, and I put away my books."I smiled. "Alright, go ahead. But make sure to stay close, okay?"She grinned and ran outside, her blonde hair streaming behind her. Ethan, who had been playing with his toy cars on the floor, looked up at me."Mommy, can I go outside too?"I knelt down to his level, brushing a stray curl from his face. "After breakfast, sweetie."He pouted but nodded, his little lips pulling into a tight line as he held up his toy truck.I went back to the kitchen, turning off the stove and preparing to set the table. Just as I placed the last plate down, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap

I stood by the kitchen sink, watching through the window as Leonardo played outside with our daughter. Their laughter echoed in the crisp air, blending with the rustling of leaves.She sat perched on his shoulders, her tiny hands gripping his hair as he ran in circles, pretending to be a horse.“Faster, Daddy!” she squealed.Leonardo groaned dramatically. “Princess, Daddy is getting old.”She giggled, tapping his head. “No, you’re not! You’re strong like a superhero!”I smiled, my heart swelling.This was our life now. Simple, filled with love.No more running. No more looking over our shoulders. Just us.I wiped my hands on a towel and made my way outside. The air was crisp, the scent of pine and fresh grass wrapping around me.Leonardo spotted me first.

The morning sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a golden glow over the wooden floors. The air smelled of fresh coffee and something sweet—pancakes, maybe.I followed the scent, my heart warming at the sight before me.Leonardo stood at the stove, shirtless, wearing only loose pajama pants. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, and the muscles in his back flexed as he flipped a pancake with effortless ease. But what made me smile the most was the little girl sitting on the counter beside him, her tiny hands clapping together as she watched her father cook."Again, Daddy!" she giggled.Leonardo grinned and spun the spatula between his fingers before tossing the pancake into the air. It flipped twice before landing perfectly back in the pan."Like that, princess?" he asked.She nodded enthusiastically, her brown cur

    Chapter 156: EpilogueOlivia’s POVThe mountain air was crisp as I stood on the wooden balcony, gazing at the endless stretch of pine trees below. The sun had just dipped behind the peaks, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The wind whispered through the branches, carrying with it the clean scent of rain and earth.It was quiet here. Peaceful.Safe.For the first time in months, I could breathe without fear coiling around my throat. The Russo family was gone. Matteo Russo was dead. The house, the network, the legacy—destroyed. Harris had confirmed it with photos and reports. There was no one left to hunt us. No shadows lurking behind cameras. No footsteps echoing in the night.Leonardo stepped onto the balcony beside me, two mugs of coffee in hand. He handed me one, then wrapped his free arm around my waist, pulling me into his warmth."Thinking again?" he asked softly.I leaned against him, feeling his steady heartbeat through his sweater. "Always."He kissed the top

    Final Chapter(155)Leonardo’s POVThe sharp sound of footsteps echoed through the stairwell as Olivia and I sprinted toward the exit. Smoke burned my throat, and every muscle in my body screamed for rest, but we couldn’t stop. Not now. Not with Matteo Russo closing in.We reached the ground floor and burst through the emergency exit into the alley. The cold night air hit me like a slap. I scanned the shadows for movement, gun raised. Olivia stood beside me, her eyes wide and wild.The phone in my pocket buzzed again.Another message.“You can’t run forever.”I gritted my teeth and shoved the phone back into my jacket. "He’s playing with us," I muttered.Olivia’s voice shook. "He’s just a kid, Leonardo.""No," I said, scanning the rooftops. "He stopped being a kid the moment Victor put a gun in his hand."She hugged herself, shivering. I placed a hand on her arm, grounding her. "We end this tonight.""How?" she asked.I didn’t have an answer.The phone buzzed again.I hesitated, then

    Chapter 154Olivia’s POVThe smell of smoke lingered in the air as I stood beside Leonardo, staring at the burning ruins of the Russo compound. The flames crackled, devouring the walls, the floors—everything Matteo Russo had built to continue his father’s legacy.But the weight in my chest wouldn’t lift. The fire might’ve destroyed the compound, but the memories remained. The sight of Matteo’s small body hitting the floor haunted me. His lifeless eyes. The blood spreading across his shirt.He’d been just a boy. A boy raised to hate, to kill, to continue the twisted family tradition. And Leonardo had been forced to pull the trigger."Olivia," Leonardo said softly, his voice pulling me from my thoughts.I blinked, realizing I’d been clutching my arms so tightly that my nails had dug into my skin. I loosened my grip. "Yeah?""We need to go. The police will be here soon."I gave a shaky nod.Leonardo took my hand, guiding me toward the car parked beyond the tree line. The headlights wer

Olivia sat beside me, her eyes locked on the image as though it might come to life. My own thoughts churned like a storm, each one darker than the last.Victor Russo had a son. An heir. A child born into a legacy of violence and manipulation."We didn’t know," Olivia whispered, voice trembling. "We thought we ended the family."I ran a hand down my face, exhaustion pressing against my skull. "Victor always had contingency plans. We underestimated him.""But how?" she asked. "We dug into every aspect of his life. There was nothing about a kid.""Because he wanted it that way." I stood and paced the length of the living room. "Victor was always obsessed with bloodlines. Family. Legacy. Of course, he’d hide a child until he was ready to use him."Olivia rubbed her arms. "He looked so...calm. That boy at the door. Like he wasn’t scared at all.""

"Did...we win?"I glanced at Victor’s body. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling."Yeah," I said. "We won."Harris’s team arrived within minutes. They removed the bomb and secured the mansion. Harris, bruised but breathing, sat on the porch while medics checked his vitals.Olivia and I stood nearby, watching the sunrise paint the sky in soft oranges and pinks."It’s really over," she whispered.I wrapped my arm around her. "This time, it is."She leaned into me. "No more running?""No more running," I promised.The Russo family was gone.And we were finally free.Olivia’s POVThe morning sunlight crept across the horizon, casting a soft orange glow over the Gael estate.

    Chapter 151:Leonardo’s POVThe headlights sliced through the dark as I sped away from the cemetery, my knuckles white against the steering wheel. Olivia sat beside me, silent, her body rigid with fear. The message on my phone echoed in my mind:“The devil doesn’t die.”Victor Russo was alive. Or someone who looked and sounded exactly like him.I didn’t believe in ghosts. But I knew the Russos were capable of almost anything. Victor had faked his death once already. Why not twice?"Leonardo," Olivia said softly.I glanced at her, her face pale in the dim light. "Yeah?""How...how is this possible?" Her voice cracked. "We saw his body. We saw the coroner’s report."I didn’t have an answer. I’d held Victor’s cold wrist to check for a pulse that day. I’d seen the bullet hole in his forehead. But tonight...I’d seen him standing beneath the trees, breathing, smiling."We’re missing something," I said finally. "Something big."She hugged herself. "What if it really was him?"I gritted my t
