Sasha felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she thought about Grace being in the hospital. She couldn’t forget the moment in the shower with Ethan, when his phone had rung and she had kissed him to keep him from answering Grace’s call. Now, Grace was in the hospital, and Sasha couldn’t shake the feeling that her actions had played a part in the situation.

Determined to make amends, Sasha picked up her phone and called Ivy, asking her to find out which hospital Grace was in. A few minutes later, Ivy called back, informing her that it was City Hospital. Sasha quickly dressed, went to the closet mall to buy a bouquet of flowers, and headed straight to the hospital.

Once she arrived, she approached the front desk and asked for Grace Cringe’s room. The nurse pointed her in the right direction, and Sasha made her way down the hall, her heart pounding with every step. She stopped in front of Grace’s door, took a deep breath, and knocked.

When the door opened, it wasn’t Grace—it was Ethan.

    After Ethan dropped her off at her apartment, Sasha didn’t waste any time. She needed a distraction, something to take her mind off the emotional rollercoaster that was her relationship with Ethan. She grabbed her things and headed straight to Vegas Casino, where the headquarters of her operations for the Hell's Gang were located. It was time to focus on business and regain her composure. As she entered the secret office hidden behind the casino, Big Tom was the first to approach her. His face was tense with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his deep voice quiet but filled with care. "Did Ethan scold you for ordering the killing of Jimmy?" Sasha hesitated for a moment before removing her Nyx mask, revealing her conflicted expression. "We quarreled about it," she admitted, sighing heavily. "But... we're good now." She didn’t mention the part where they had broken up just a few hours ago. She wasn’t ready to talk about that. Not yet. She tried to distract herself from her thoughts

    Jack ended the call with Carlos's personal assistant, a sly smile playing on his lips. The plan was in motion. Hades, the man who had tormented his life and caused his brother's death, was walking straight into a trap. Jack could almost taste victory. The Macaris family, one of the most powerful mob families in Romoto, had no idea that they were merely pawns in his scheme. He had orchestrated a plan so devious that even Hades, the master of cunning, wouldn't see it coming."Everything is set," Jack murmured to himself, feeling the weight of the moment. The plan was simple but effective: Hades was scheduled to meet with the Macaris family outside the country to discuss a major deal. But instead of a peaceful meeting, Jack had arranged for assassins to be there. They would kidnap Hades, keeping his identity a secret until Jack and Carlos arrived. Only then, with the whole world watching live on the internet, would they unmask Hades and execute him.For years, Jack had fantasized about t

    Sasha sat quietly beside Chris’s hospital bed, her heart heavy as she looked at his unconscious form. She held his hand gently, her fingers tracing the back of his hand like they used to when they were kids. “I can’t wait for you to wake up,” she whispered, her voice barely audible in the silent room. “You wouldn’t believe the mess I’ve gotten myself into. I’m... I’m in love with the devil.” She let out a soft, humorless laugh. “Not literally, but it feels that way.”Sasha sighed, guilt washing over her as she thought about how long it had been since she visited him. “I’m sorry, Chris. I should’ve come more often. Things have just been... complicated. You know how it is. With Hue, the inheritance, Amanda—it’s all a mess.”Her thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock at the door. She turned to see Jack walking in, his expression a mix of concern and frustration."Where have you been?" Jack asked, his voice edged with irritation. “I’ve been calling you for weeks, and you haven’t retur

    Ethan sat in the plush leather seat of his private jet, staring across at the bloody, tied-up manslumped on the floor. Opposite him, Rowan watched the man with cold indifference, waiting for Ethan to finish up his business call. Rowan handed Ethan his phone, saying, “I have the head of theMacaris Family, Don Marcello on the line.”Ethan took the phone, his voice low but commanding. “What’s the deal? You send assassins to our meeting?”The head of the Macaris Family Don Marcello quickly responded, “No, Hades, you misunderstand. We received word that our meeting was scheduled for next week, not yesterday. Someone from your own ranks must’ve given you false information and tried to set you up. The Macaris family had nothing to do with the attempt on your life. No one from the Macaris family had anything to do with what happened to you last night.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on the phone. “I see,” he said, keeping his voice calm. “We’ll meet as planned next week.

    Ethan woke up in Sasha’s apartment, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. The room was quiet, peaceful. He looked down at Sasha, still curled up beside him, her soft breathing calming him for a moment. Without thinking, he leaned over and kissed her forehead, brushing his fingers lightly through her hair.Sasha stirred, slowly waking up. She smiled when she saw him, moving closer, resting her head on his chest. "Morning," she mumbled, her voice still thick with sleep.“Morning,” Ethan replied, his arm tightening around her. For a moment, everything felt right.But that moment didn’t last.Sasha’s phone buzzed on the nightstand. She reached over and picked it up, squinting at the screen. Ethan noticed her frown as she read the message. He saw the name Nicholas at the top of the screen and immediately tensed. Without warning, he snatched the phone from her hand."What the hell, Ethan?" Sasha protested, but he was already reading the message:Sorry for making you famous

    Ethan stood in a dimly lit room, his body tense, wearing nothing but a blood-stained white singlet. His mask was securely in place, casting a shadow over his face, making him look even more terrifying. Before him, tied to a chair, was the imposter they had brought back from Romoto. The man’s face was swollen, blood dripping from his eyes and mouth as Ethan had spent the past hour relentlessly beating him.“Tell me who sent you,” Ethan growled, pacing in front of the man.The imposter remained silent, defiant, despite the pain. Ethan clenched his fists, his knuckles already bruised from the hits. He was desperate to take out his anger on someone, and this man was a perfect target.A voice in his head whispered, dark and persuasive, “Let me take control.”Ethan’s lips curled into a wicked grin as he began to laugh, a low, maniacal sound that sent a shiver down Rowan’s spine. Rowan, who stood at the corner of the room, looked at Ethan with understanding. He had seen this before—the switc

    Sasha sat calmly in her living room, her fingers lightly drumming against the armrest of the couch. She knew the confrontation was coming—it was inevitable. The knock on the door came, followed by a familiar voice: her father’s. Charles Brooks had arrived, and with him, Amanda and Hue.“Let me let them in,” Sasha murmured to herself, her voice steady. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the showdown.As she unlocked her door, the door swung open, and Charles marched in first, his face set in a deep scowl. Amanda followed closely behind, her eyes filled with hatred, and Hue walked in last, sneering at Sasha as if she were beneath him.Charles was furious, pacing back and forth. “Why did you shoot Hue and Amanda? And what’s this I’m hearing about forcing Amanda to step down from the company? Have you completely lost your mind?” he demanded.Sasha looked at her father, her face calm and composed. “I didn’t shoot them, I gave them a warning shot,” she said coolly. “And Amanda st

    Ethan stood in Sasha’s living room, staring at her. The room felt oddly quiet now that Charles, Amanda, and Hue had left, but the tension between him and Sasha was thick, almost suffocating. She stood across from him, her arms crossed, her face unreadable. He waited for her to say something, anything, but she remained silent.Finally, he broke the silence. "Are you really not going to say anything to me after what just happened?" His voice was calm, but underneath, he felt a storm brewing.Sasha’s eyes met his, cool and distant. After a moment, she simply said, "Thank you."That was it. A simple, emotionless thank you. Nothing more. Ethan’s jaw tightened as he waited for her to continue, but she didn’t. Instead, she glanced toward the door, signaling that she wanted him to leave."Is that all?" Ethan asked, his voice tinged with frustration. "You’re just going to thank me and kick me out of your house after I helped you deal with your family? After I saved you from Hue and Amanda?"Sa

    The lights of Ethan's mansion shone dimly in the misty night as Sasha drove up the long driveway. Her hands gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white, her heart pounding as she replayed the events of the evening. Rico’s dying words echoed in her mind, haunting her with every breath. She could still feel the coldness of the gun in her hand, the heaviness of the glass she had forced him to drink. Her best friend, the person who had once shared her innocence, was gone, and it was by her own doing.Trembling, she stepped out of the car and approached the door. It was late, but Ethan had always told her that she was welcome at any hour. She barely noticed the warmth of his mansion as she stumbled through the doors, a shivering mess of guilt and sorrow. One of his guards led her to his study, where Ethan was waiting, his expression immediately darkening as he saw the tears streaking down her cheeks."Sasha," he said, standing up quickly, his voice filled with concern. "What happened?"She

    The night was cold as Sasha drove down the empty streets, the city lights flickering in her rearview mirror like fading stars. She had always been careful, had always walked the line between who she once was and the life she’d been pulled into. But Rico was closing in, his relentless pursuit drawing closer to truths that could ruin everything she’d built with Ethan. And now, she was at a crossroads she never imagined she’d face: she would have to kill him.As she reached the Miller mansion, her mind was clear, cold as steel. She pulled on a pair of black gloves, knowing every step would need to be precise, leaving nothing behind. She climbed the stairs to her bedroom, opened the hidden compartment in her closet, and retrieved a small vial of poison. She had kept it for years, a tool she hoped she’d never need. But Rico had left her no choice.Her fingers grazed over the gun in the drawer. It felt heavy, both in weight and in purpose. Rico was her friend—a part of her past, her childh

    The morning sun was filtering through the high windows of her office when Sasha’s phone buzzed on her desk. She reached for it, glancing at the unfamiliar number on the screen. Frowning, she answered. “Sasha Brooks.”“Miss Brooks,” the voice on the other end was firm and professional. “This is Agent Wyatt with the Secret Service. We need you to come down to our office for questioning.”Sasha felt a wave of unease wash over her. “Questioning?” she asked, forcing her voice to stay steady. “Can you tell me what this is about?”“I’m afraid we can’t discuss the details over the phone,” Agent Wyatt replied. “Please come in at your earliest convenience.”The line went dead before she could ask anything more. Sasha lowered the phone, her heart pounding. She’d known that Rico’s investigation wasn’t over, but she hadn’t expected him to summon her like this. She took a deep breath, steadying herself. If Rico wanted answers, she’d give them—but only what she wanted him to know.An hour later, Sas

    Ethan was still savoring the aftermath of his election victory as he reclined on the leather sofa in his penthouse office. The city stretched out before him through the glass wall, lights glittering like stars. The high of winning still coursed through him, though Sasha’s words kept gnawing at the edges of his mind. But before he could dwell on her warning, his phone buzzed in his pocket. The number on the screen made him sit up instantly—one of his contacts at the SSS.He answered, keeping his voice low. “What’s going on?”The voice on the other end was brisk and to the point. “Mr. Leo, we just received word that Rico Morales obtained a warrant to search the Vegas Casino. He’s on his way there with his team.”Ethan’s heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he stared out the window, feeling a cold, creeping dread settle in. If Rico was coming after the Vegas Casino, it wasn’t a casual inspection. Rico had been investigating Jack and Carlos’s deaths for months, desperate to connect the dot

    Rico leaned back in his office chair, rubbing his tired eyes. It had been over six months since he began his relentless pursuit of the shadows that haunted the city—the figures known only as Nyx and Hades. Six months of dead ends, sleepless nights, and watching blurry surveillance footage. Jack and Carlos were dead, their bodies leaving behind a silence that demanded justice. Yet every lead felt like sand slipping through his fingers.Jack had been his friend, someone he’d trusted. And Carlos, despite his flaws, had once been a key figure in the city’s underworld. Both men were gone now, and Rico knew that somewhere out there, someone was responsible. Someone powerful, calculating, and ruthless enough to cover their tracks perfectly.He switched on his laptop and resumed scrolling through the mountain of footage. Security footage from street corners, ATMs, storefronts—anything that might reveal even the faintest hint of Nyx or Hades. He was chasing ghosts, but his gut told him that pe

    Ethan’s words hung in the air, a confession raw and vulnerable, stripped bare of any pretense. Sasha’s breath hitched, her mind racing to process what he had just said. She searched his face, seeing the weight of years of torment etched into his eyes.“Bipolar?” she whispered, her voice barely audible, as if saying it too loud would shatter the fragile honesty between them.Ethan nodded, looking away, unable to meet her gaze. “I didn’t know for a long time,” he admitted, his hands clenching and unclenching as he tried to steady himself. “There were… signs. But I didn’t want to believe it. I thought I was just… intense. Driven. I’ve always felt this… voice inside me, pushing me to take control, to act without thinking.” He paused, his voice trembling. “It’s not just a voice. It’s me. It’s a part of me that I can’t seem to silence.”Sasha felt her heart break for him, realizing how much he’d been struggling, even before they’d met. She wanted to reach out, to hold him, but she knew he n

    Sasha leaned against her car, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as she waited outside the police station. The last few hours had been a blur of emotions she could barely process—anger, sadness, and betrayal. Ethan’s confession replayed in her mind over and over, a loop that tightened her chest with every repetition. She wasn’t ready to face Chris. Not after what she’d learned about Ethan, about the accident that had torn her family apart without her even knowing it. But her brother needed her, and right now, he was all she had. She had promised him he wouldn’t be alone, and she intended to keep that promise. When Chris finally stepped out of the station, his expression softened as he saw her. For a moment, they just stood there, the weight of everything unspoken pressing down on them. Sasha took a shaky breath, then walked toward him, her eyes filling with tears she hadn’t even realized she was holding back. it felt good, it felt good to have him out of cell. She could not be

    The world came back to Ethan slowly, like rising from the depths of a dark ocean. His eyelids felt heavy, and his entire body ached as if he’d been hit by a train. He blinked, trying to focus, and the sterile white walls of a hospital room gradually came into view. The dim light of early morning filtered through the blinds, casting soft shadows across the room. He turned his head, wincing as a sharp pain shot through him. But when he looked to his left, his heart softened. There, slumped over in a chair by his bedside, was Sasha. Her face was pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes, evidence of sleepless nights. She had one hand resting near his on the bed, as if she’d fallen asleep holding it but eventually drifted off from sheer exhaustion. He gently reached out, brushing his fingers against her hand, too weak to do more. Sasha stirred, blinking her eyes open as she processed what she was seeing. When she realized he was awake, her eyes went wide with relief and joy. “

    Sasha stormed into the police station, her mind a storm of fear, fury, and confusion. She hadn’t even had time to process Ethan’s condition at the hospital before she found herself here, chasing the need for answers, for justice. She marched up to the front desk, trying to keep her voice steady.“I need to see the person you arrested for the hit-and-run on Ethan Leo,” she said, her tone as firm as steel.The officer behind the desk looked up, recognizing her from media appearances as well as from the sheer power of her name. He gave her a nod. “Right this way, Miss Brooks.”Sasha followed him through a dimly lit corridor, her heart pounding harder with every step. She felt an almost dizzying mix of dread and anger as she walked, but she pushed it down. She had to stay focused. Whoever this was… she needed to see them, to understand why they would do something so reckless, so cruel.When the officer finally stopped outside a cell, Sasha’s breath caught in her throat.
