Ezekiel leaned against the edge of his desk, his piercing gaze fixed on the livestream projected on the wall. Daisy’s smile flickered on the screen as she laughed at something Veronica said, but he saw beyond it. That smile didn’t reach her eyes.“Something’s troubling you,” he murmured, his voice soft yet commanding. His fingers curled into a fist. He turned to one of his men, who stood silently nearby. “Why wasn’t anyone aware of the ambush earlier today?”The man stiffened. “It was an oversight, sir. We—”“An oversight?” Ezekiel’s voice was razor-sharp. He stepped forward, his imposing presence suffocating. “There’s no room for oversight when it comes to her safety.”The man dropped his gaze. “It won’t happen again.”“It better not,” Ezekiel replied, his tone icy. “Find out who orchestrated it. Report back with names.”As his subordinate scurried out of the room, Ezekiel’s eyes returned to the livestream. He watched Daisy’s every move, enthralled yet furious at how close she’d come

Louis stood before the large map pinned to the wall of his private study. Each red mark on it represented a gang linked to Daisy’s recent accidents. His sharp eyes darted from one point to another as his hand clenched the edge of the table.“Sir,” one of his trusted men said, standing a few feet behind him, “we’ve narrowed it down to three major players. They’re smaller groups but have connections to Natalie’s circle.”Louis’s jaw tightened. “I don’t care how small they are. I want them dismantled—cleanly and without a trace. No one connected to Daisy gets to walk free.”“Yes, sir.” The man bowed and left the room.Louis leaned against the table, running a hand through his hair. His mind raced with thoughts of Daisy—her bright laughter, the way her eyes sparkled even when the world seemed to conspire against her. He’d kept his emotions buried for so long, but the distance between them was becoming unbearable.“Soon,” he whispered to himself. “Soon, I’ll bring you back where you belong

The sun hovered low on the horizon as Daisy, Veronica, and Clara prepared for their next challenge. The production team had hinted at a grueling task—a high-altitude hike through rocky terrain. Daisy adjusted the straps of her backpack, her mind already racing with strategies to keep her team safe. She caught Veronica’s concerned glance and forced a reassuring smile.“Relax, Veronica. We’ll get through this,” Daisy said softly, though unease churned in her gut.Clara giggled nervously. “Yeah, as long as I don’t trip over my own feet.”The trio set off with the other cast members. Cameras followed their every move, capturing the dramatic landscape and their interactions. Daisy kept an eye on her team, but the rough terrain triggered flashes of her past life—a life where she had clawed her way up from rock bottom, only to lose everything in a fiery betrayal.She stumbled slightly, gripping a tree trunk for support as her breath quickened.“Daisy?” Veronica’s voice pulled her back to rea

The crackling of flames roared through the production site, drowning out the chaos of shouted orders and wailing sirens. The air was thick with acrid smoke, making it hard to breathe. Louis and Ezekiel stood inches apart, their faces set in grim determination, both oblivious to the inferno raging around them.“You call this protecting her?” Louis spat, his voice sharp with accusation. His fists were clenched at his sides, the veins on his neck taut with fury.“I was the one who pulled her out!” Ezekiel retorted, his grip on Daisy’s arm tightening momentarily. His eyes were like steel, unyielding. “Where were you?”“She wouldn’t be in danger if it weren’t for you lurking in the shadows,” Louis snapped, stepping closer, their tension boiling over into an almost physical confrontation.“Funny, coming from the man who left her vulnerable in the first place,” Ezekiel growled back.Between them, Daisy tugged weakly against Ezekiel’s hold. Her head was spinning, the suffocating smoke bringin

The house was unnervingly quiet.It had been days since the fire, but the weight of silence still hung thick in the air, suffocating the life that once filled the mansion. Louis sat by the grand window, his gaze fixated on the horizon, though he saw nothing. His mind was consumed by the burning memories of Daisy—the way she would laugh at his sarcasm, the warmth of her body pressed against his, the softness of her lips when they shared stolen kisses. Every detail of her, etched into his mind like a scar that wouldn’t fade.The room, once a space filled with life and conversation, felt like a tomb. Louis hadn’t spoken since Liam had brought him back from the fire site, his silence deepening as the days dragged on. His heart throbbed with the ache of what he had lost, and the pain was unbearable, like a wound that refused to heal.Liam had tried, more times than he cared to count, to break through his brother’s wall of grief. But Louis wasn’t himself—not anymore.“Dammit, Louis!” Liam’s

The early morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of the hotel room, casting a golden glow that felt cruel against the somber mood. The air was heavy, and the once lively banter and laughter that had filled the room between the trio was now replaced by silence.Veronica sat by the window, her knees drawn to her chest, staring blankly at the world outside. Her usually fiery, outspoken demeanor was nowhere to be found. The news of Daisy's death had shaken her to her core, leaving her raw and vulnerable in a way she hadn’t experienced in years.Clara sat quietly on the bed, her arms wrapped tightly around a pillow. Tears streamed down her cheeks, her soft sobs filling the silence. She was the youngest, the baby of their group, and Daisy had been her protector—a guiding light in an otherwise harsh and judgmental world. Without her, Clara felt adrift."She’s really gone," Veronica whispered, her voice cracking. It was the first thing she’d said in hours.Clara sniffled, wiping her f

The Croft mansion, usually alive with elegance and quiet sophistication, had become a house of sorrow. The once-bright chandeliers now seemed dimmer, the halls heavier with a silence that suffocated anyone who dared to walk through them.Dandelion Croft stood by the large living room window, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She had always been the composed one, the eldest who held the family together in times of distress. But now, her expression betrayed her fragility, her jaw trembling as she gazed out at the gray sky.Behind her, their mother sat in a high-backed chair, her face buried in her hands. The strong, poised matriarch of the Croft family was reduced to quiet sobs, her grief pouring out in broken waves. Beside her, their father gripped the armrest of his chair, his knuckles white, his face stoic but hollow. He had always been a man of few words, but now, the words refused to come altogether.In the center of it all was Liam. He stood stiffly near the fireplace, his

Louis sat in his dimly lit office, staring at the empty glass of whiskey in front of him. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his normally immaculate appearance was disheveled. He hadn’t slept properly in days. Every moment was a struggle to hold himself together, and every time he closed his eyes, Daisy’s laughter haunted him.A soft knock on the door pulled him out of his reverie. He didn’t answer, knowing who it was but unwilling to entertain her.The door creaked open anyway, and Natalie stepped inside. She was dressed modestly, her expression carefully molded into one of concern.“Louis,” she began softly, stepping further into the room. “You can’t keep shutting yourself off like this.”He glanced at her, his gaze icy. “I don’t recall asking for your opinion.”Natalie hesitated but pressed on, taking a seat across from him. “I know you’re grieving. We all are. Daisy was... important to me too.” Her voice faltered, feigning emotion.Louis’s fist clenched at her words. “Don’t

Natalie watched Louis from across the room, her eyes narrowed as he sat slouched in his chair, nursing a glass of whiskey. His injuries had mostly healed, but the emotional wounds he carried were far from mended. He barely acknowledged her presence, his thoughts clearly elsewhere.She smiled faintly, masking the bitterness that twisted in her chest. Tonight would be the night she secured her future.“Louis,” she called softly, stepping closer. Her voice was soothing, almost maternal. “You’ve been drinking too much again.”“I’m fine,” he muttered, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.“No, you’re not,” she said firmly, taking the glass from his hand. “Come sit with me.”He didn’t resist as she guided him to the couch. She handed him another drink, this one carefully prepared.As he drank, Natalie sat beside him, her hand resting lightly on his arm. “I’ve been worried about you,” she said, her tone sweet and laced with concern.Louis blinked slowly, his vision beginning to blur. “I’m

Natalie stared out the window of her lavishly decorated parlor, her fingers curled tightly around the stem of her wine glass. The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow across the room, but it did little to brighten the storm brewing inside her.The whispers had reached her ears—whispers that shouldn’t exist, whispers that sent her carefully constructed world teetering on the edge of chaos. Daisy. Alive.The name burned in her mind like a brand, fueling a mixture of fear, anger, and something dangerously close to envy. Louis hadn’t been the same since his return from the Sovereign’s clutches. He was distant, restless, his eyes constantly clouded with thought. Natalie knew where his mind wandered, even if he didn’t dare speak it aloud. It wasn’t hard to guess.Daisy.She swirled her wine absently, her mind working through the implications. If Daisy truly was alive, everything Natalie had worked for could come crumbling down. Louis had been hers for years now, tethered by duty and conven

Louis stumbled through the shadowed streets, clutching his bruised ribs as he gasped for air. The Sovereign’s men had made it clear that his escape wouldn’t come easy. Blood seeped through his torn shirt, each step sending sharp jolts of pain through his battered body. But he didn’t care. There was only one place he could go, only one person who might help him make sense of what had just happened: Ezekiel.When he finally arrived at Ezekiel’s residence, he nearly collapsed at the gate. Summoning the last shred of his strength, Louis banged on the door, his bloodied knuckles leaving red smears on the polished wood.The door swung open, and Louis looked up, expecting Ezekiel’s stern gaze. Instead, he was met with the wide-eyed stares of Liam and Dandelion.“Louis?” Dandelion’s voice was sharp with disbelief.“What the hell are you doing here?” Liam demanded, his expression a mixture of anger and concern.Louis staggered inside without waiting for an invitation, collapsing onto a nearby

The room was oppressive, suffused with a damp chill that clung to Daisy’s skin. Her wrists were shackled above her head, the iron cuffs biting into her flesh. She stood in the center of the punishment chamber, her cloak discarded, her back bare to the cold air. The Sovereign’s heavy footsteps echoed ominously, each step a grim promise of what was to come.“You failed me, Phantom.” His voice was devoid of warmth, each word cutting like a blade. “You, my most trusted. My most loyal.”Daisy remained silent, her chin lifted defiantly despite the weight of the accusations. She had made her choice, and she would endure the consequences.The Sovereign circled her slowly, his presence looming. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice? That I wouldn’t see the hesitation, the weakness? You let him escape.” His voice dropped, chillingly calm. “You, of all people, betrayed me.”She stiffened but didn’t speak. What could she say? He was right. She had faltered when she saw Louis, the memories of their pas

The room reeked of damp cement and rusted metal, its oppressive silence broken only by the faint drip of water from a leaking pipe. Shadows flickered against the walls, cast by a single bulb hanging precariously from the ceiling. Louis sat hunched in a steel chair, his wrists bound tightly by chains that dug into his skin. Dried blood crusted on his cheek from a deep gash, a testament to the rough treatment he’d endured, yet his eyes still burned with defiance.He wasn’t afraid of them. At least, that’s what he told himself. But deep down, beneath his stoic facade, there was a small, gnawing fear—not for himself, but for those he had failed.The heavy door groaned open, its sound reverberating through the room like a warning. Louis lifted his head, squinting through the haze of pain and dim light. The rhythmic clink of boots filled the silence, deliberate and unhurried.She entered the room with a calculated grace, her black cloak billowing slightly as she moved. A sleek mask covered

Daisy sat at the edge of a deserted rooftop, her legs dangling over the ledge as the neon-lit city sprawled below her. The air was thick with the hum of distant traffic, broken only by the occasional siren. She exhaled, her breath forming a mist in the cool night air. The trail she had left behind was deliberate—a breadcrumb she knew he couldn’t resist.He would come. He always did.But why? Why was she doing this? Each time, she told herself it would be the last. Yet here she was, waiting, her heart warring between anticipation and dread. She hated this pull he had over her, hated how his presence stirred something deep within her that she thought she’d buried forever.The faint sound of footsteps reached her ears, steady and purposeful. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. She closed her eyes briefly, steeling herself.“You’re getting sloppy,” Ezekiel said, his voice low and tinged with worry.She smirked, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Or maybe I’m just testing you

The tension between them had always been an undercurrent, simmering beneath the surface, threatening to boil over. But lately, it had become impossible to ignore. Daisy sat at the edge of the Sovereign's grand meeting hall, her eyes scanning the room as the powerful figures debated alliances and power plays. She could feel his gaze on her—intense, unwavering, and maddeningly familiar.Ezekiel was there, standing among the few who had been granted access as external advisors. His focus was razor-sharp, but Daisy could tell it wasn’t on the room's politics or the Sovereign’s plans. It was on her. Always her.After the meeting concluded, Daisy made her way through the winding halls of the Sovereign’s estate. Her steps were deliberate, echoing against the cold marble floor. She didn’t want to acknowledge his presence trailing her, but she knew he was there. He always found a way to close the distance, and today was no different.“Do you think you can avoid me forever?” Ezekiel’s voice cut

Louis sat at his desk, the dull glow of the single lamp barely illuminating the mess of papers scattered before him. Financial reports, gang operations, and troubling news about the Sovereign’s encroaching power all screamed for his attention. But his mind was elsewhere, replaying the haunting image of her—the masked figure with scars.The memory gnawed at him relentlessly. Could it have been Daisy? Or was it a cruel trick of his guilt-ridden mind? He hated himself for even entertaining the thought.He poured himself another glass of whiskey, the burn doing little to numb the ache inside him. Across the room, Natalie entered without knocking, her expression a mix of irritation and triumph.“You’re spiraling,” she said bluntly, placing a folder on his desk. “We can’t afford for you to lose control now.”Louis glared at her. “I don’t need a lecture, Natalie.”Her lips curved into a sly smile as she sat on the edge of the desk, twirling a lock of her hair. “Good, because I’m not here to

Ezekiel sat in the dimly lit study, papers strewn across the desk in front of him. Maps, lists, and dossiers—all meticulously gathered in his relentless pursuit of a way to free her. His thoughts were a storm, a mix of strategy and emotions he couldn’t suppress. Every time he thought of her—her eyes hidden behind that mask, the scars on her body—his determination only grew stronger.“Daisy,” he murmured, the name a whisper of both hope and pain.He didn’t know how long he could endure watching her suffer, trapped in the Sovereign’s web. But he knew one thing for certain: he wouldn’t stop until she was free.---Meeting with Liam had been his first step, and though he had anticipated resistance, the outright rejection still stung.“Liam, please,” Ezekiel had said, his voice steady despite the tension between them. “I need your help. She needs your help.”Liam had crossed his arms, his expression unreadable. “And what makes you think I’d trust you? After everything? After Louis?”“This
