For the first time in a long time, I was certain about something. Levi. He’d been my anchor in a sea of chaos, my one constant when everything else was falling apart. Trusting him had always felt like walking a tightrope over an abyss, but now…now it felt like solid ground. As I left the room, his words still ringing in my ears, I turned back. He stood there, silhouetted against the dim light, his jaw tight, his fists still clenched. He looked like a man fighting a war on too many fronts, but when his eyes met mine, there was no hesitation, no doubt. “Levi,” I said softly. He raised an eyebrow, waiting. “I’ll come back,” I promised, stepping closer. “But I need you to know I don’t think I can do this without you.” His expression softened, the tension in his shoulders easing just a fraction. “You don’t have to,” he said, his voice low and steady. “I’m not going anywhere, Eliana. Not now, not ever.” The words struck something deep inside me. I crossed the space between us an

Levi must’ve noticed the way I carried the tension in my shoulders, how my fingers twitched every time I glanced at my father’s name on that list. It wasn’t even lunchtime when he walked into the study, grabbed my hand, and said, “Come with me.” I blinked, startled. “What? Where?” “You’ll see,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “We don’t have time for—” “Eliana,” he interrupted, his voice soft but firm. “We’ll make time.” I wanted to argue, to tell him we couldn’t afford to stop not when everything was hanging by a thread. But the way he looked at me, like he was offering me air while I drowned, made me pause. I let him lead me out of the room, my protests dying on my lips. Levi drove us out to the edge of the city, where the Vanderbilt estate gave way to rolling hills and quiet, open fields. He parked the car near a hidden grove, and as I stepped out, the sound of rushing water greeted me. “Are you kidding me?” I asked, turning to him with a raised eyebrow

The drive back to the estate was quieter, but the tension between us had eased. I felt lighter somehow, like I’d finally let go of a weight I hadn’t even realized I’d been carrying. As we pulled up to the gates, one of Levi’s men ran out to meet us, his face pale. “We’ve got a problem,” he said, his voice tight. Levi’s expression hardened. “What is it?” “The bomb at the estate—it wasn’t random. It was triggered by someone on the inside.” The words sent a chill down my spine. “Who?” Levi demanded, his tone sharp. “We’re still working on that,” the man admitted. “But whoever it is they’re good. And they’re still feeding Aurora information.” Levi’s jaw tightened, his hand curling into a fist. “Find them,” he said coldly. “I want a name.” As the man hurried off, I followed Levi inside, my mind racing. But when we reached the study, my attention was drawn to the list of targets still spread out on the desk. My father’s name stared back at me, a grim reminder of what was a

The kiss lingers for just a heartbeat longer than necessary, but I know better than to let myself get lost in it for too long. Not now. Not when everything is about to unravel.Levi pulls back, his eyes searching mine with an intensity that makes my pulse flutter. But his expression hardens almost immediately, as if the world’s weight comes crashing back onto him, and I feel it too—the pull of the mission, the gravity of everything we’re up against.He exhales sharply, his voice low and steady. “We can’t let this go to shit, Eliana. We have to make sure Aurora’s plan fails, no matter what.”I nod, pushing down the flicker of doubt that threatens to rise. It’s easier to be resolute when his presence is grounding me, but I know I can’t rely on him forever. Not that I don’t trust him. No, it’s the opposite. I trust him too much, and that’s dangerous. That’s a part of myself I can’t afford to surrender.“Let’s get to it, then,” I say, keeping my voice steady, even though the weight of the

The seconds drag on, the urgency in Levi’s eyes a silent reminder that every choice now could cost us everything. My pulse pounds in my ears, a steady rhythm that matches the fear starting to creep up my spine. We don’t have much time, and the weight of it is crushing.We move quickly, both of us darting through the narrow back halls of the summit building. There’s no time for pleasantries. No time for second thoughts. It’s just us, the mission, and whatever game Aurora’s playing behind the scenes.Levi’s grip on my arm tightens. I can feel his focus, the calm in his eyes, but even he’s not immune to the pressure. “Eliana, stay close,” he mutters. His voice is low, rough around the edges, the kind of tone that makes it clear he’s taking no chances.I nod sharply, even though the tension inside me is suffocating. If we don’t stop this, everything will crumble. This isn’t just about taking down a single enemy anymore. It’s about everything my mother left behind—every secret buried under

I force myself to walk toward my father, my feet moving like they’re on autopilot, the anger growing inside me like a wildfire. My hands are shaking, but it’s not out of fear. No, it’s something worse. Betrayal. A slow burn that eats away at everything I thought I knew, everything I thought I could count on."You’ve got a lot of explaining to do," I say, my voice low, controlled, but there’s no hiding the fury in my eyes.He doesn’t look up. Instead, his eyes flicker to the ground, like he’s ashamed of the truth he’s been hiding from me all this time. But it’s no use. I know what I saw. I know what I heard. The pieces are finally falling into place, and it’s all my father’s fault.“Dad,” I say again, my voice sharper now, louder. “I need you to tell me the truth. Now. Did you fund Aurora’s rise to power? Did you?”For a long moment, he doesn’t speak, like he’s weighing the consequences in his head. Maybe he’s waiting for me to turn away, to let it go, but I’m not backing down. Not now

I storm out of the room, my mind racing faster than my feet. The echo of my father’s voice still lingers, but it’s fading, buried beneath a pile of new truths I’m not ready to face. I can’t won’t let myself get lost in the mess of family betrayal and guilt. Not when I have to keep moving, keep fighting.My hand presses to the wall as I move down the hallway, trying to steady my breath. I hate how this feels. The way the pain creeps up from behind, when I least expect it. But I can’t let myself break. Not yet. Not when there’s so much at stake.I need to find Levi.I reach for my comms, but there’s no response. No signal, just static. My heart speeds up, the dread creeping in. I’ve never felt this alone, and it’s like the world’s closing in around me. But I can’t stop. I won’t stop.The summit’s chaos has finally reached its boiling point, and everything’s converging. My father. Levi. Aurora. The summit’s financial collapse. I have no damn clue how this is all going to end, but I’m not

The weight of the night still presses down on me as I lie next to Levi, the world still in motion outside but feeling completely still in this moment between us. The rush of victory lingers, but it’s mixed with a subtle undercurrent of dread. It’s as if I can feel the storm coming, even if I don’t know exactly where it’s coming from.Levi stirs beside me, his chest rising and falling with steady breaths, his hand unconsciously brushing against mine. It’s so easy, this space between us, but it’s deceptive. A calm before something far worse. The walls of this room seem to shrink around me, heavy with the knowledge that everything we’ve done, everything we’ve sacrificed, might not be enough. Not in the face of what’s coming.I slip out of bed as gently as I can, not wanting to disturb him, but it’s like I can feel his eyes on me even before I stand. His gaze always feels like a pull, magnetic, pulling me back toward him when I try to distance myself.He watches me with that sharp focus o

The voice hits me like a brick. I freeze, heart slamming in my chest. My hand hovers over the bomb, a bead of sweat trickling down my spine. There’s no time to think, only react.I turn slowly, my muscles tensing, ready for whatever comes next. I know what’s coming: an operant of Aurora’s. One of her many shadows scattered throughout this event. But that doesn't stop the pit in my stomach from growing deeper. The weight of this bomb in my hands, both literal and figurative, presses down harder with each passing second.A man steps into view, eyes narrowed, gun loosely held at his side. The nonchalance on his face only makes the situation worse. The lack of urgency in his posture makes it clear: He’s confident. Too confident. He doesn’t think he’s going to lose.But I won’t let him win. Not today.“You’ve been busy,” I say, keeping my voice steady. I don’t give him the satisfaction of seeing my nerves. There’s no room for weakness here.The man chuckles, a low, unsettling sound that ma

The shockwave from the explosion sends me stumbling, but Levi’s grip on my arm is ironclad. His other hand darts out, shoving me toward the narrow exit tunnel in the back of the room. The cacophony of chaos echoes from behind us, the sounds of shattering glass, the distant screams, and the heavy thudding of footsteps growing louder.We don’t have much time.My heart is thundering in my chest, but my thoughts are still clear, still calculating. The bomb. The explosion. We can’t afford to waste another second. I’m already trying to process what’s happening, but my mind can’t keep up with the speed at which everything’s unfolding.Levi doesn’t speak, but his presence is enough. His proximity, the way he moves, like an extension of my own thoughts. He’s here. He’s with me. He always has been, despite everything. Despite the years of trust broken, the betrayals, the games played. I can feel his breath on my neck, the heat of his body just behind me, guiding me through the carnage."Stay cl
