The resort loomed behind her within the rearview mirror, and with it, the chaos she had left at the back of. She didn’t recognise where she became driving to, or what her subsequent circulate could be, however she needed to escape from James, Alexis, and even Elijah. She couldn’t accept it as true with any of them.

Her mind became spinning with confusion. Elijah’s betrayal cut the innermost. She had leaned on him, allowing him to guide her through this maze of deception, and now she wasn’t certain what his genuine motives were. He had claimed to be protecting her, however had he certainly? Or had he just been gambling his own recreation, the usage of her as a pawn like anybody else?

The streets had been empty as she drove through the early morning haze, the metropolis still quiet and asleep. The bloodless dawn air seeped into the car, making her shiver, but she didn’t

Her heart was nevertheless pounding, the adrenaline coursing via her veins making her experience each exhausted and on part. She had achieved it—she had uncovered James for the liar he was. But in preference to feeling effective, a feel of dread crept over her. His final phrases echoed in her mind: “You must be afraid.”She knew that this wasn’t over. James wasn’t the sort to backpedal easily, especially while his popularity and control have been at stake.

    Paulina’s heart pounded in her chest as she stared across the desk at Alexis, looking to decipher the meaning behind her words. The café, which had felt so quiet and peaceful when she entered, now appeared suffocating.

Alexis sat across from her, calm and gathered, a predator poised to strike.“A deal?” Paulina repeated, her voice bloodless. “You want to make a deal with me?”Alexis leaned forward slightly, her smile never wavering. “Yes, Paulina. You and I both understand that James is risky. He’s ruthless, and he’ll prevent at not anything to get what he wants. You’ve seen that firsthand. But what you don’t recognise is that he’s already planning his next pass.

James becomes plotting something bigger, something a long way greater risk than she’d anticipated.

The question changed into, should Paulina preserve her near without being dragged down with her?Paulina glanced down at her smartphone, the display st

You’ve changed the world.”She turned to him, tears shining in her eyes.

The names and operations laid out in the files confirmed her worst fears this wasn’t just about energy or the coalition. It was a network of power that spanned industries, governments, and borders.By morning, Paulina had made up her mind. She paced the safe house living room, Elijah watching her carefully.“We can’t sit on this,” Paulina said, her voice firm. “The longer we wait, the more damage they can do.”Elijah nodded, though his protective instincts were clearly at war with her determination. “I agree. But if we’re going to act, we need a plan. Rushing in blind will only get us killed.”Paulina stopped pacing, turning to face him. “Then we need to find someone we can trust. Someone with the resources to take this on.”Her father, sitting quietly in the corner, cleared his throat. “I know someone. An old contact who helped me disappear. He has connections in places that matter. If anyone c

    Paulina’s heart pounded as her father’s urgent words hung in the air. The tension in the small apartment was suffocating.“Leave? Why?” she demanded, her voice sharp. “You owe me an explanation!”Her father grabbed a small bag from the corner of the room, his movements frantic. “There’s no time. They’ve found me.”“They?” Elijah asked, stepping protectively in front of Paulina. “Who are you running from?”Her father hesitated, his eyes darting to the window as the sound of footsteps approached the building. “The people who’ve been after me for years. The same ones targeting you, Paulina. I didn’t want you involved, but now it’s too late.”Paulina’s chest tightened. “You knew about the coalition?”“They’re just a piece of the puzzle,” he replied. “The real players are far more dangerous.”The footsteps grew louder, and Elijah’s protective instincts kicked in. “We need to move now,” he said firmly.Paulina hesitated, torn between her anger at her father’s years of absence and the clear

She lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts racing.Elijah stirred beside her, turning to face her in the dim light. “Paulina,” he said softly, his voice laced with concern. “You’re still awake.”She sighed, her gaze meeting him. “I can’t stop thinking about it. If he’s alive… Why now? Why come back after all these years?”Elijah reached for her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. “We’ll find out. But whatever the reason, you’re not facing it alone.”Paulina gave him a faint smile, her heart aching with gratitude. “I don’t deserve you, Elijah.”“You deserve everything,” he said firmly, leaning in to kiss her forehead.The next morning, Paulina called Leila into her office. “I want you to dig deeper,” she said. “If my father is alive, I need to know where he’s been all these years and why he’s resurfacing now.”Leila nodded, he

    Paulina sat on the edge of her bed, the photo still in her hand. The man in the picture her father was a ghost she thought she had buried long ago. She hadn’t spoken of him in years, not even to Elijah. The idea that someone had gone to such lengths to dig into her past filled her with dread.Elijah walked into the room, carrying two mugs of tea. He placed one beside her and crouched down to meet her gaze.“You don’t have to tell me everything right now,” he said gently. “But whatever this is, Paulina, I’m here for you.”She gave him a faint smile, her fingers brushing against his. “Thank you. It’s just… complicated. My father wasn’t a good man, Elijah. If someone’s using him against me, it could get ugly.”Elijah’s jaw tightened. “Then we’ll face it together. Whoever’s doing this doesn’t know who they’re messing with.”Paulina chuckled softly, the sound bittersweet. “You always know how to make me feel stronger, even when I don’t want to.”“That’s because you are strong,” Elijah said

We’re in this together.”She turned to him fully, her heart swelling with gratitude. “You always know what to say. I don’t think I’d have made it this far without you.”Elijah smiled, leaning closer.

    The weeks of calm that followed the press conference were a much-needed reprieve for Paulina and her team. Nexus and Horizon were working seamlessly, Horizon X was exceeding expectations, and the communities they served were thriving.But the coalition had not been idle.Elijah entered Paulina’s office late one evening, his face shadowed with concern. He held a tablet, and the data displayed on its screen sent a chill down her spine.“They’re planning something big,” he said, his voice low. “All the chatter we’ve been intercepting points to the original pilot site in Kenya. They want to destroy it, Paulina. Not just to sabotage the system, but to send a message to the world.”Paulina’s stomach tightened. The Kenya site was more than just a project it was a symbol of Nexus’s success and resilience. Losing it would be devastating.“What’s their timeline?” she asked, her tone steady despite the dread building inside her.“Two days,” Elijah replied. “We don’t have much time, but we can ge

    Elijah’s recovery was slow but steady. Paulina rarely left his side, her determination to be there for him unwavering. Despite the chaos of the past few days, she managed to juggle overseeing Nexus operations and spending quiet moments with Elijah in the medical bay.“You’re supposed to be resting,” Paulina scolded gently as she entered his room, finding him reviewing security reports.Elijah smirked, his bruised face still carrying its usual confidence. “Resting doesn’t mean doing nothing.”She crossed her arms, her expression softening as she looked at him. “You scared me, Elijah. I thought I’d lose you.”“You won’t,” he said firmly, reaching for her hand. “Not now, not ever.”Paulina sighed, sitting beside him. “I don’t know how you stay so calm. Even after everything.”Elijah smiled faintly. “Because I know you’ll always find a way. You’re unstoppable, Paulina.”Her eyes glistened as she leaned in, their foreheads touching. “And you’re my strength, Elijah. Don’t you dare forget th

    The calm after regaining control of Horizon X didn’t last long. Paulina knew the coalition wouldn’t give up so easily. Reports of suspicious activity near a Nexus site in Eastern Europe began trickling in, and the tension in the air was almost unbearable.Elijah entered her office with a file in hand. His expression was serious but calm. “We’ve intercepted chatter about the coalition targeting the Bucharest site. They’re planning something big.”Paulina frowned, her heart sinking. “Do we know what?”“Not yet,” Elijah admitted. “But the site is vulnerable, it's still in its early stages, and the security systems aren’t fully operational. If they hit it now, it could cripple us.”Paulina stood, her resolve hardening. “Then we can’t wait for them to strike. Let’s strengthen the defenses and send reinforcements immediately.”Elijah hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I’ll go personally. If they’re targeting this site, I need to be there to stop them.”Paulina’s heart clenched. “Elija
