Ari's POVThe walkie-talkie went static, then it glitched. I clicked the button, took it closer to my mouth, then I spoke. “This is Ari reporting. I’m proceeding into the tunnels already.”I waited until a signal came again. “Copy that. After you.”I proceeded inwards. The tunnels were damp, the air thick with the stench of rusted metal and stagnant water. Shadows stretched long against the curved walls, flickering under the dim beams of our flashlights. My grip tightened around my gun as I moved ahead, signaling the team to stay close. We had been tracking this deal for weeks, waiting for the right moment to strike, and now—Now was the time.A whispered command crackled through my earpiece. "Stay sharp, Detective Walsh. We move when you signal."I barely acknowledged the voice. My focus was on the figures up ahead. Three men stood beneath a single hanging light, exchanging words in hushed tones. A briefcase sat between them, slightly ajar, revealing stacks of money notes. The de

Ari's POVI wasn’t sure what I was supposed to say.Hi? Hello?I was never really such a social person. With my mood all damaged and my entire life still gluing itself bit by bit, I guess I was in a much worse state to relate with anyone.So, this was doomed to get awkward.I never expected to run into him again. The one-night stand from that wild, reckless night with Kaelie. Yet, there he was—standing before me, looking all casual, like we weren’t tangled up in something that should’ve been left in the past.“Didn’t think I’d see you again,” I said, folding my arms nervously. I forgot – that was the first rule of sparking conversations: don’t fold your arms to create a sense of security and blockage.He grinned, his deep brown eyes twinkling with amusement. “I was thinking the same thing.”We stood there for a moment, an odd silence stretching between us. Then he finally chuckled, breaking the tension. “So… how’ve you been?”I raised a brow. “You mean since that night?”He smirked. “

Ari’s POVI kept my breathing steady as I sat across from Derek, forcing a smile while my mind raced. Lady Smith’s voice had been firm in my earpiece—it’s time to move.I lifted my glass of wine, taking a slow sip, my heart pounding as I glanced at Derek. He was oblivious, still smiling, still thinking this was just another normal night. But I knew better.I had exactly one minute.Placing my glass down, I exhaled sharply. “I just need to use the restroom,” I said casually, already pushing my chair back.Derek raised an eyebrow. “You okay?”I nodded quickly. “Yeah. Just freshening up.”He didn’t seem convinced, but he nodded, returning his focus to his plate. I turned on my heels, making my way to the restroom, each step calculated. As soon as I stepped inside, I pressed my back against the door, inhaling sharply.Lady Smith’s voice came through my earpiece. “Five seconds.”I counted them down in my head.Then—chaos.Screams erupted. The unmistakable sound of tables being knocked over

Ari’s POVI didn’t realize how much my life was coming back together.The precinct was buzzing with energy by the time I arrived the next day. Officers clapped my back, voices overlapping in praise, and for once, I allowed myself to soak in the moment. "Damn, Walsh. You really pulled off a show back there!" one of the officers, Turner, whistled. "It was like something out of a damn movie."Gina grinned beside me. "You should've seen yourself, Ari. Flipping tables, dodging bullets, taking down those men like a goddamn superhero."I chuckled, shaking my head. "It wasn’t that dramatic."Turner scoffed. "Oh, please. You literally saved that guy—what’s his name? Derek? The one who kissed you?"I froze mid-step. Gina smirked. "Oh, we all saw it."I didn’t realize they were still hanging around that night.I groaned. "Great. So now my hero moment is overshadowed by that."Before anyone could continue their teasing, Lady Smith stepped in, arms crossed, a rare smirk tugging at her lips. "Det

Ari's Pov My days went back to normal. At least, as normal as they could be."Hey, Detective Walsh.""What are you doing after work today, Detective Walsh?""Have dinner with me, Detective Walsh."The guys from the station never gave up, and if I was being honest, their persistence was getting old.I shot them a tired smile. "Sorry. I have plans.""With Derek, I assume?" Turner said, his voice dripping with sarcasm."As a matter of fact, yes." I admitted, a small smile playing at the corner of my lips."Oooh, what do you guys have planned?" Gina perked up."He didn't say. Just that he wanted to see me." I shrugged. "And guys, no more questions okay? We've got work to do.""Whatever, Walsh." Turner chuckled. "Have fun on your date."I rolled my eyes. "It's not a date.""Whatever you say."I ignored him, focusing on the case file in front of me.As the day wore on, my curiosity grew even more. I wanted to know what Derek had planned? What surprised he was cooking this time, but as the

Ari’s POVI woke up to an empty bed.For a second, I thought I was dreaming. My hand stretched across the mattress, fingers grazing nothing but cold sheets. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dim morning light seeping through my curtains. I sat up, blinking away the haze of sleep, scanning the room.Derek was gone.A strange feeling crept up my spine. I wasn’t entirely sure what had happened the night before. We had gone out for drinks, talked about everything and nothing at all, but beyond that?Again, it began to come together bit by bit - the surprise date, the beautiful dinner and then…Then…Did it happen? My memory was a blur. Not in a drunken, irresponsible way, but in a… murky kind of way. Like something was intentionally misplaced in my mind. I couldn’t exactly tell if we had done anything the previous night. Yes, Derek and I had history, but then…Things were different now.Anyway, I shook the thought away and got up, heading for the shower. ***At work, everything c

Ari’s POVDerek moved like a ghost—silent, fast, devastating.I was still yet to comprehend how everything was happening. I mean, he was meant to be the same guy hiding under the table when the attackers came during our date. How come this was playing out just now?One moment, he was standing beside me, seemingly just another ordinary man. The next, he was striking with precision, his fists a blur of motion as they connected with the attackers. It was unreal. I had seen trained fighters before. Hell, I had taken down my fair share of criminals. But Derek—he was something else entirely.The men charged again, trying to overwhelm him with numbers. The first came swinging with a knife, aiming for his gut, but Derek twisted to the side, catching the man’s wrist mid-air and driving his knee into his ribs. A sickening crack echoed through the alley. The guy collapsed, gasping for air, clutching his side.Another lunged at him, swinging a bottle. Derek ducked just in time, the glass shatteri

Ari's POVThat was when it happened. And this time, I didn’t stop him. Derek wasted no time in pulling my shirt down to my breast, his lips met mine in a hot and hungry kiss.His hand slid under my bra, his thumb brushing over my nipple while his lips trail down from my lips to my jawline and then to my neck.I moaned softly, arching my back into his touch. "Ohh! Derek..."He used his hand to pull me closer by my waist, his tongue running along my skin while he sucked on my skin, leaving marks on me.My own hands traveled up his back, tracing the lines of his muscles."God, Ari. You're so fucking beautiful."I smiled, running my fingers through his hair. "So are you."His hand left my breast and traveled down to the waistband of my skirt, his fingers dipping below and teasing the fabric of my pant."Do you want this, Ari?"I froze at his question, taking my time before responding.

Ari's POVDerek and I stayed side by side catching our breaths and relishing in the afterglow of our passion."What are you smiling about?" He asked me."You know what." I answered, chuckling.He leaned his head on his hand, still looking at me. "Tell me.""About tonight... about us."He grinned. "What about it?""You're crazy.""What do you mean?" He smiled.I rolled over, staring up at the ceiling. My mind started to race with all the thoughts of what could happen between Derek and I. Al adventures, the thrill, the fun and sad moments, all of it making me smile even more."You're smiling an awful lot." Derek's voice snapped me back to reality."Well, yeah." I responded, my cheeks hurting from grinning too much."Why?""I don't know... I just can't help it. Tonight was... alright I guess." He reached over and took my hand in his. "It is. And tomorrow will be even better.""Alright then. I need to use the restroom to clean up." I got up and headed towards the bathroom.When I got in

Cross’ POVOne year had passed.A full year of playing the game, of keeping my head down, of pretending that I had fully embraced this life with Mira, with The Don, with the empire he had built.That was not my reality, though. In reality, every day was a calculated move. Every action, every word, every look I gave was a step toward what I truly wanted—power. Not borrowed power, not gifted power, but power of my own.I had changed. I wasn’t the same reckless man I had been before. I had learned patience, control, the art of silence. The more I listened, the more I observed, the more I gained The Don’s trust. I had become his right-hand man, a force within his ranks. And now, finally, I was close to what I had been working for all along.I presently stood at the glass view of the empire the Don had built for me. Behind me, I could feel Mira’s presence as she lay on the luxurious bed behind me, still yet to awake. As for me, I was awake. I was aware. And I was calmly building my plan
