🌹 Damien 🌹 Damien’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he pressed the accelerator, weaving through the darkened streets with precision. The city lights blurred past, flashing against the rain-slicked pavement. The briefcase containing the shattered remains of the hard drive rested on Aurora’s lap, its broken pieces a cruel reminder of how close they had come to uncovering the truth—only to have it ripped away in a single moment of chaos.The SUV tailing them was relentless, its headlights glaring through the rearview mirror like the eyes of a predator. Damien could hear the rev of its engine, the unmistakable promise of destruction as it gained on them. He knew the men inside wouldn’t stop until they were either dead or captured.Aurora’s breath was uneven beside him. “We need to lose them.”“I know,” Damien gritted out, swerving onto a side street. The tires screeched against the pavement, narrowly missing a parked sedan. “Hold on.”Gunfire erupted behind them. Bullets shatte

Chapter 90 🌹 Aurora 🌹The cityscape blurred past the car windows as Damien drove through the rain-slicked streets, his knuckles white against the steering wheel. The adrenaline from the last few hours still coursed through my veins, making my hands tremble as I gripped the seatbelt across my chest. The air was thick with tension, filled only by the sound of the wipers slashing across the windshield and the distant wail of sirens behind us."We need to regroup," Damien muttered, his jaw tight. "Figure out our next move before they catch up again."I swallowed hard, my heart hammering. "And where exactly do we go? We've lost the drive, we're being hunted, and we barely escaped with our lives."His fingers tightened on the wheel. "I have a safehouse on the outskirts. It's not in my name, and no one knows about it. We can lay low there until we figure this out."I exhaled shakily and nodded, watching the city disappear behind us as he took the freeway leading out of town. My mind repla

Victoria Fontaine sat in her high-rise office, the city sprawled beneath her like a kingdom waiting to be seized. The dim glow of the skyline reflected off the pristine glass walls, but her mind was fixed elsewhere—on the chaos she had set in motion. With Ethan Coldwell dancing to her tune, Damien and Aurora on the run, and the drive destroyed, she had successfully eliminated the most immediate threats to her dominance. Yet, something nagged at her, an unease she couldn’t shake.She tapped a manicured nail against her desk, her expression unreadable as she studied the multiple screens before her. Surveillance footage, intercepted communications, reports from her informants—all pointed to one undeniable truth: Damien was still alive, and worse, still fighting.A sharp knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She didn’t bother looking up as one of her most trusted operatives, Simon Grayson, stepped inside."I assume you have an update," Victoria said, her voice as smooth as silk, but

Down in the darkened corridors of the safehouse, Damien and Aurora readied themselves for the next phase of their plan. The remnants of the shattered drive lay scattered on the floor—a haunting reminder of their lost leverage—but in its place, a new resolve had taken root. They were going to force Victoria’s hand.Damien’s voice was low and determined as he spoke to Aurora, “We have to get the backups. Without them, our only chance to expose her is gone. I want you to meet with your contact and extract every byte of data you can find.”Aurora’s eyes blazed with determination. “I’ll do it. I won’t let her bury the truth. We’ve already lost too much—I’m not about to let her win without a fight.”Damien nodded, his gaze steady as he considered the gravity of their situation. “This isn’t just about our survival, Aurora. It’s about taking back control. Every secret they’ve hidden, every lie they’ve fed the public—they all end tonight.”Outside, the storm raged, rain lashing against the win

The blaring alarm shattered the brief silence in the safehouse, bathing the dimly lit room in a pulsing red glow. Damien spun toward the control panel, his instincts screaming that they had mere moments before an assault. Aurora had already taken position, her gun raised, her eyes sharp.Ryker’s hands trembled as he backed toward the nearest exit. “They found us. You need to understand—Victoria has more resources than you think. If she’s put this much effort into silencing me, then we’re all dead if we don’t move now.”Damien cursed under his breath, scanning the security feeds. Multiple figures were closing in, moving with military precision. Victoria wasn’t just sending a cleanup crew—she was making sure this ended tonight.Aurora gritted her teeth. “We can’t go out the front. The tunnels?”“They’ll have those covered,” Damien muttered. “But there’s another way.”He yanked open a hidden hatch in the floor, revealing a maintenance shaft barely wide enough to crawl through. “It leads
