Chapter Thirty: Home

Aamon’s Point of ViewI observed the children playing at the park: Onyx and Salem expertly maneuvering on their skateboards while Shiloh swayed gently on the swing, lost in her music. I have been a silent guardian over them, always careful not to draw attention to myself while watching them. Our family and its connections have always strived to give Rei and the kids their independence while keeping them safe. I often volunteered for duties like this because it allowed me to catch a glimpse of Grace. It was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. My ex will always be my "home", even if we can't be together.Today, my grandfather wanted Ethan Steele to talk to Xavier Woods. He wanted to give him a choice: continuing his relationship with Rei would mean transitioning from one dangerous environment to another. But the world that the Brzezinski family operated in was far more perilous.My grandfather had warned the director of the secret government agency that he needed to be

Chapter Thirty-one: Walk Through Fire

Grace’s Point of ViewEach time I crossed paths with Aamon, his last words to me haunted my thoughts. I never understood why he paid me to befriend Grace, and even after I left our mutual employer - the one Lillianna had recruited me for - Aamon still watched my dear friend. He had trained me in the art of awareness and self-defence, skills that came in handy during my assignments infiltrating and befriending others. But when it came to Rei, there was no need for deception. My only task was to ensure she made connections. It was a strange job, but it paid well and unexpectedly brought us together. Yet, looking back now, I can't help but wonder if things could have turned out differently if I had known the truth behind Aamon's actions.I could never comprehend Aamon's fascination with Rei Draven, or the entire Brzezinski family, for that matter. She was such a gentle soul, raised in a strict household that ultimately abandoned her once she married Greg. We all received messages from Rei

Chapter Thirty-two: I'm Not Who I Was

Xavier’s Point of ViewThe anticipation of seeing Rei again was overwhelming. Choosing to be with her was never difficult for me; she was always my top priority. My actions, even when I stayed away, were driven by my love for her. She had captured my heart, and I hoped she would someday feel the same way about me.I had romantic plans to impress her, starting with dinner at a cozy Italian restaurant and then a scenic drive under the starry sky. Rei agreed but also suggested bringing a backpack with extra clothes in case it rained. She assured me that Shiloh had agreed to babysit her brothers and knew Rei would return quite late. My mind swirled with possibilities, picturing us returning to my place and indulging in our desires together.When I contacted Matt and Tom also to let them know of my impending return, they eagerly shared their conquests with Rei’s friends and boasted about their sexual exploits. I cringed, listening to them, thinking that it sounded immature. I probably would

Chapter Thirty-three: Didn't See That Coming...

Lillianna’s Point of ViewI texted Alex as soon as I was home. His response was kind and caring, urging me to rest and reach out if I needed anything. It would be awesome if I could feel even a shred of affection for him. But he paled in comparison to Xavier, the only one who could ever truly understand me. As my heart ached with longing, I cursed the intense love that bound me to my best friend, an all-consuming force that left no room for anyone else in my life.I still had the key to his apartment, and a sudden thought crossed my mind. I could surprise Xavier with some of his favorite snacks, and we could spend the evening playing video games like we used to. Or, we could binge-watch something on his streaming service. I checked the time; it was still early in the evening. Hastily, I grabbed my purse and made my way to the door. Before I could step out, my phone started to ring, and a smile spread across my face when I saw Xavier's name on the screen. Excitedly, I answered the call.

Chapter Thirty-four: The Price of Integrity

Xavier’s Point of ViewMy hands shook as I listened to the dial tone on my phone. Lillianna was furious, although I knew she would be. But a furious Lillianna was a dangerous one. I was grateful I’d had the locks changed before I spoke to her, and I had an appointment scheduled for the security system I had to be updated. I couldn’t take any chances. If Rei were not the granddaughter of Kazimierz Brzezinski I would be worried for her safety.I should have done this years ago, when Lillianna took things too far and crossed a line into darkness when dealing with Greg Ravenscroft that neither of us could ever come back from.Years ago, she and I crossed paths during a tumultuous period when I associated with a toxic group that brought nothing but chaos. Call it teenage angst, whatever it was, I got lucky that Ethan Steele took an interest in me and deemed me worthy of saving. Despite the drama and trouble from our previous group, Lillianna continued to hang out with me. She eventually lef

Chapter Thirty-five: Everything Falls Apart

Grace’s Point of ViewI hung up the phone quickly, trying not to spiral. It would make things worse if I were agitated when Lillianna arrived. She’d called, sobbing on the other end of the line, wanting to come over. I offered to go to her, but Lillianna insisted the drive would help. She loved that motorcycle, and I found myself agreeing—the ride would calm her down at least so that she could properly articulate whatever had happened.I didn’t know what to think. Lillianna had a dark side. It was fucking scary when she plunged into those depths, and hard to bring her back out of it. So often, it was like she was two souls warring within her, one foot in the darkness and one in the light.I knew what Xavier was talking about. I’d seen it myself. It was one of the reasons why I wanted to leave the organization. After a job that Lillianna had “tackled with a little too much enthusiasm” Aamon had sent me in to check on my friend in the washroom. Maybe he wanted me to see this side of Lill

Chapter Thirty-six: Other Side

Aamon’s Point of ViewI stared at the phone in disbelief when I saw who was calling me. I was in the middle of a meeting, but when it came to Grace, I would always drop everything to be there for her however I could. In some ways, it was the only way I could keep the ghost of my ex-girlfriend in my life.“Excuse me, I need to take this,” I said, leaving the room to speak privately.“Hello, Grace,” I said quietly.“Aamon, I need your help,” Grace’s voice was a tortured whisper.“Are you hurt? In danger?” I asked, trying not to panic, wondering what could be wrong.“Not at the moment, but do you think we could talk? In person? Lillianna showed up at my apartment very upset and passed out on my couch. This is not a conversation I want to have over the phone, and I don’t want to go too far with her feeling like this,” Grace said.This wasn’t a good idea. I knew it wasn’t. Everything in me screamed to say no, to protect my heart that had never fully healed from Grace’s rejection. It was dif

Chapter Thirty-seven: Rest

Grace’s Point of ViewI knew what Aamon was trying to say without directly saying it. I closed my eyes and took a measured breath. I still loved him. I’d never stopped. But I thought for sure that he had moved on.“Do you need me to say it, kochanie?” Aamon asked as he wiped away a tear falling down my cheek.I nodded slowly because I did. I needed to know that even though I had walked away, tried to move on, and left him behind, Aamon still loved me because I had never stopped loving him. I needed those words, and I prayed that they would be the truth, not just something he thought I needed to hear.“I love you, my Grace. I always have, and I always will. There will never be another who holds my heart as you do. If I couldn’t be there to protect you myself, someone else was always watching,” Aamon said softly.His words were like a caress to my soul, and I kissed him before I could stop myself. Aamon hesitated for a brief moment and then kissed me back. Everything we wanted but couldn

Chapter Thirty-eight: Reality Bites

Aamon’s Point of ViewI’d wanted Grace to see the danger that Lillianna posed, but not like that. My ex-girlfriend looked terrified; the colour drained from her beautiful face. She was shaking from shock and fear. Reality was hitting hard, and Grace knew she couldn’t pretend it wasn’t and look away.“Rei… the children …” Grace’s voice trailed off in a panic.My phone rang, and I knew how it was before I even answered. I held up a finger and placed it on my lips, looking at Grace before answering the phone.“Interesting night you’ve been having there, boss,” she teased, trying to lighten my mood. When I didn’t respond, she awkwardly cleared her throat.“I’m tailing her, don’t worry. It doesn’t look like Lillianna is heading towards Xavier or Rei right now. I’ll keep following her, and if anything changes, I’ll let you know,” she shared.“Call for backup if you need it. Do not ruin your cover. She’ll come for you next if you do,” I warned.“Noted,” she answered and then cut the call.“So

Chapter Thirty-nine: Unexpected Accessories

Mary’s Point of ViewWhen we first started working together, I was taken aback at how hard Rei worked, how dedicated she was to her job and doing the best she could. Maybe it was because she was the sole provider for her little family, or perhaps it was the way she was raised. Or, most likely, it was because that was just how Rei was. Bless her heart; she pours it into everything she does.I playfully teased and supported her throughout the years we’ve worked together. While I had worked with numerous nurses, none were quite like Rei, my sweet girl. She was a joy to tease and uplift to boost her confidence. That as.shole of an ex-husband of hers had really done a number on Rei. Despite her beauty, she was oblivious to it. Men often tried to catch her eye, but she was always unaware of them until Xavier Woods came into the emergency after some shenanigans had gone wrong for his group of friends.Rei hurried away like a timid mouse, seemingly believing she wasn't deserving of his notice
