last update Last Updated: 2025-04-15 00:03:07

The sun was only just beginning to rise over the sea as the boat finally coasted into the narrow inlet behind the safe house, hidden beneath a thick veil of jungle and rock. Mist clung to the trees like a breath held too long, and the cries of birds echoed somewhere in the distance, far too peaceful for what they had just survived. Alejandro’s grip on the steering handle loosened slowly, but the tension in his shoulders remained stiff, locked in place by the blood, gunpowder, and adrenaline still coursing through him. His knuckles were scraped, his shirt torn, and his eyes bore the weight of a hundred battles this one had merely added more shadows to the collection.

Aria hadn’t let go of his hand since the last bullet had been fired. Her palm was warm in his, her grip steady, even though her breathing was still uneven and shallow. She hadn't cried. She hadn't screamed. She had fought sharp, fast, fearless. But he knew her silence wasn’t peace. It was survival. And survival always came

    The gunfire had stopped, but the silence it left behind was heavier than any explosion. Smoke curled in the trees, the scent of scorched leaves mixing with the acrid tang of gunpowder. Alejandro stepped forward, scanning the tree line, his jaw clenched. His finger hovered near the trigger, ready for a second wave. But none came.Just the eerie stillness.“They’re retreating,” Jace murmured, lowering his rifle. “That wasn’t a full hit squad. Just scouts. They were testing us.”Alejandro nodded grimly. “Santiago’s gauging how far we’re willing to go. But he’s about to find out we don’t break.”He turned toward Aria.She was crouched behind the jeep, breathless but sharp-eyed, her hand still wrapped tightly around the grip of her pistol. Her hair was windswept, her clothes covered in dirt, but there was fire in her gaze.“You didn’t listen to me,” Alejandro said as he walked over.“I didn’t have time to,” she replied, standing. “They were aiming at Jace. You would’ve done the same.”He s

    The sky was bruised with the colors of dusk as the safehouse lights flickered to life one by one, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floors. The quiet buzz of electricity hummed through the air, but inside the living room, the tension was louder. Alejandro stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the crimson-stained sky. His arms were folded across his chest, but his posture wasn’t calm. It was coiled like a storm waiting to be unleashed.Aria watched him from the couch, her fingers gripping the throw pillow tightly. She had seen him silent before, even cold but this was different. His silence wasn’t an escape from emotion it was soaked in it. His eyes weren’t empty; they were burning. And the fire in them made her own chest ache.Valentina entered the room with two mugs of tea, one for Miguel who was finally beginning to look like himself again and one for herself. She paused briefly, her eyes flitting between Alejandro and Aria. There was something simmering be

    The sharp scent of blood still lingered in the air, soaked into the floorboards of the safe house like a curse no fire could burn away. The room was silent, too silent except for the faint dripping from a busted pipe somewhere in the back wall and the occasional groan of pain from the injured men sprawled across makeshift cots. Alejandro stood in the center of it all, shirtless, his side bandaged but his face unreadable. The world was spinning on a new axis now, one tilted by betrayal, vengeance, and the crackling tension between him and the woman whose presence still lit a fire inside him even in the darkest of hours.He hadn’t spoken since the boat. Not since the last body dropped into the sea and silence returned. Not since he saw the horror in Aria’s eyes when the bullet narrowly missed her skull. His arms had wrapped around her then, not because he had to because he needed to. Because every breath he took without her felt like an echo in an empty room.Aria sat on the edge of the

    The rain hammered against the glass walls of Alejandro’s private suite as if the sky itself mourned what was left of the night. Aria stood barefoot near the window, her silk robe soaked along the hem, her arms wrapped tightly around her body, not from cold—but from disbelief. The echo of Valentina’s broken voice still rang in her ears, the truth of what she’d uncovered hitting harder than anything she’d ever imagined. Alejandro had lied. Again. Not just about the past—but about the very blood that tied them all together. Alejandro and Jace were half-brothers. And everything was spiraling from that one tangled thread.Downstairs, Alejandro paced like a storm bottled in human form. He’d read Valentina’s message ten times over, but the weight of it refused to sink in. Aria knew. She finally knew. And there was no version of the truth that would make it right again. He’d spent years manipulating the shadows, but now the light was burning through his lies, stripping him raw. He was no long

    The night hung heavy over the estate, thick with the scent of rain-soaked roses and the kind of silence that only follows after chaos. Alejandro stood at the edge of the veranda, his broad shoulders taut beneath the weight of the truth he could no longer ignore. His eyes scanned the gardens below, where moments ago, Aria had stormed off, her eyes glistening with pain and betrayal. The memory of her trembling lips haunted him. She hadn’t just been angry. She had been shattered. And it was his fault.Behind him, the door creaked as Jace stepped out, his movements quiet, cautious, as though afraid to disturb the storm brewing inside Alejandro.“She’ll come back,” Jace said softly, lighting a cigarette he didn’t really need. “She always does.”Alejandro didn’t look at him. “Not this time.”Jace sighed, leaning against the railing. “You didn’t tell her the full truth, did you?”“She doesn’t need to know everything.”“She’s not a child, Alejandro. She deserves to know what you did. What we

    Alejandro paced the length of the hospital hallway like a lion trapped in a cage, his fists clenched so tightly the veins in his arms bulged beneath the sleeves of his shirt. Every inch of him screamed fury and desperation. Aria had been taken again, and this time it wasn’t just a rival cartel—it was someone closer, someone who knew how to disappear without a trace. Sophia stood nearby, her arms folded across her chest, her face pale but determined. “He won’t kill her,” she said softly, watching Alejandro carefully. “He wants something else—something deeper.”Alejandro’s eyes flicked to her. “If he touches her, I’ll tear his heart out with my hands.”Sophia didn’t flinch. She had seen the carnage Alejandro was capable of when Aria was in danger. But this time felt different. Alejandro was unraveling, not because he couldn’t control the situation—but because he was scared. Deeply, undeniably scared. That was something even he didn’t want to admit.“He’s not acting alone,” Sophia contin

    The night air had grown colder as Alejandro paced the small, dimly lit room, the walls pressing in on him like a vice. His thoughts were a blur, spinning in every direction as he tried to focus on the task at hand—finding Aria. Every inch of him was tense, every muscle tight with a fear he hadn’t felt in years. The world was closing in around him, and the woman he loved was caught in the middle of it all. His grip on the gun tightened, the cool metal digging into his palm, grounding him in the chaos.He had been here before, had faced down countless threats, and walked away from death with nothing but a bloody history to remind him of the price of power. But this… this was different. Aria wasn’t just collateral damage. She wasn’t a pawn in a game he could control. She was everything. The thought of her being hurt, of losing her—he couldn’t bear it.“I’m going to kill him,” he muttered under his breath, the words tasting bitter as they left his mouth.Alejandro wasn’t sure if he was sp

    Sighing, Aria walked home from work after yet another boring, non-adrenaline-filled day. Her feet were covered in little blisters that throbbed from standing all day. She worked as a data analyst in an office just a few blocks from her tiny apartment, staring at computers and numbers until her eyes blurred. It was tedious, but it was the only way she could pay her bills, put food on the table, and manage her student loans, which felt like they were about to crush her.But Aria's mind was elsewhere. She used to love cryptography, spending countless hours solving and decrypting secret codes while exploring the dark web. She was good at it too; people even called her a genius. However, something had changed. Aria had stopped working on her codes and messages after her parents were brutally murdered in their home back in Minnesota before she moved to New York. They were found dead, with no leads or motive. The police claimed it was a robbery gone wrong, but Aria knew better. She believed

    The safehouse was quiet, too quiet. Alejandro stood by the window, arms folded across his chest, his jaw tense. The candlelight flickered across his features, casting shadows that made him look more like a war general than a man trying to find peace. Outside, the world slept under a cloak of darkness, but inside these walls, no one could rest. Not really. Not with Santiago still out there. Not after everything they’d lost.Aria sat on the edge of the bed, her hands fidgeting in her lap. She could feel the storm building in him again, could hear it in the silence between his words, in the way he hadn’t looked at her since they arrived. He was slipping back into that place the one where he tried to bear everything alone. The place where he pushed everyone away, even her."You haven’t said anything since we got here," she said softly, not accusing, just tired.Alejandro’s gaze flicked toward her, the dim light catching the torment in his eyes. “Because there’s nothing left to say,” he mu
