Chapter 41: Shadows Closing in

Sienna’s pulse thundered in her ears. “Someone else?” she echoed, trying to make sense of Damian’s words. “Who? We thought it was Ava.”Damian stood at the window, his back rigid, hands clenched into fists at his sides. “Ava was the beginning,” he said, voice low and controlled, but there was an undercurrent of rage Sienna recognized all too well. “Someone helped her. Someone with deeper connections.”Sienna’s mind raced. “But Ava’s gone. She’s in custody. Who else would—”“An investor,” Damian cut in. “A former one. I had suspicions before, but now… now I’m certain.” He turned to her, his gaze steely. “His name is Victor Marcellos.”Sienna’s stomach knotted. She’d heard of Victor. He was a name whispered in business circles with a mixture of awe and fear. A man who’d clawed his way to the top, ruthless and without mercy.“Why would he come after you?” she asked carefully, though a sick feeling told her she already knew.Damian’s jaw tightened. “I cut him out of a major deal six m

Chapter 42: Nowhere Left to Run

The blinking red light on the security panel seemed to pulse in time with Sienna’s pounding heart.“Damian,” she whispered again, but this time there was urgency in her tone. “What does that mean?”Damian was already moving. He crossed the room in three long strides, his hand flying to the panel. He punched in a code, but the light stayed red. His jaw tightened.“Security’s been breached,” he said grimly. “They’ve cut the perimeter feed.”Sienna’s blood ran cold. “How? You said this place was secure.”“It is,” Damian ground out. “Or it was.”A faint crackle came from the intercom again, this time clearer. A voice, distorted but unmistakably male, sliced through the silence.“Did you really think you could hide, Cavendish?”Sienna clamped a hand over her mouth, muffling a gasp. Damian’s face darkened with fury as he ripped the intercom off the wall. “Victor.”The voice chuckled. “Enjoy your little island retreat. I’ll be seeing you soon.”The feed cut out.Damian swore under his breath

Chapter 43: Return to the lion's Den

The roar of the helicopter blades was deafening as they lifted off the private island. Sienna held Julian close, shielding his ears with her hands while Damian sat opposite her, strapped in and staring out into the dark horizon.His jaw was tight, his expression unreadable, but his hand rested briefly on her knee—a small gesture, grounding her as much as it reassured him.They flew in tense silence. It wasn’t until they were miles away from the island, heading toward the mainland airstrip, that Sienna allowed herself to breathe. The night sky stretched out around them, offering no comfort, only more uncertainty.“Are you okay?” Damian’s voice was low, but it cut through the thrum of the engine.Sienna nodded, though she wasn’t sure she believed herself. “I will be.”He studied her for a moment longer, then gave a curt nod. “We’re going home.”The word “home” lingered in her mind, foreign but somehow comforting. Could she ever think of London that way again? Or anywhere?She glanced do

Chapter 44: The Breaking Point

Damian moved like a shadow through the garden, his steps silent, his body tense. The moonlight barely pierced the dark clouds overhead, but he didn’t need to see clearly to know what was at stake.Victor’s men were here. On his property. That was a declaration of war.He gave a silent signal through his earpiece. “South garden perimeter, two intruders. No shots unless necessary.”“Acknowledged,” his head of security replied. “Backup en route.”Damian tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand. A lightweight pistol, silencer attached. He hated the necessity of it, but he wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger if it meant protecting Sienna and Julian.A flicker of movement to his left. He pivoted, silent as a predator.One of Victor’s men knelt by the hedges, planting a small black device against the wall.Damian’s blood turned cold. Explosives.He didn’t think. He moved.In two strides, he was behind the man. He caught him in a chokehold, cutting off air and sound in a single practice

Chapter 45: A Dangerous Alliance

Damian sat at the head of the long conference table in his private office, his fingers steepled, his sharp blue gaze scanning the faces before him. These were not his usual board members or executives. These men and women were shadows—operatives from his private security network, people he had employed years ago but never thought he’d need again.Until now.Victor had crossed a line. And Damian wasn’t going to wait for him to strike again.“We have two objectives,” Damian said, his voice like steel. “First, neutralize Victor’s access points—his people, his resources, his ability to move freely. Second, I want his weaknesses exposed. If he has debts, alliances, dirty deals, I want them. We use everything we find.”Heads nodded around the table. His team was silent, disciplined. They didn’t need pep talks. They needed targets.A woman at the far end of the table spoke first. Her name was Mia, a former intelligence agent who now ran Damian’s private security arm. “We’ve already identifie

Chapter 46: Whispers in the Dark

The night was heavy with silence. Damian stood by the large windows of his study, the New York skyline sprawling beneath him like a web of glittering lights. He could feel the weight of Sienna’s presence behind him before she spoke.“You’re thinking about him again,” she said softly.Damian didn’t turn. “He’s a threat. I can’t afford to think about anything else.”Sienna took a slow step forward. “You can’t live like this. Always waiting for the next move.”His jaw tightened. “I’m not waiting. I’m preparing.”She exhaled quietly, but said nothing more. Damian had always been this way—controlled, calculating. But this wasn’t just business. This was personal. And Sienna knew how dangerous personal could be for a man like him.Suddenly, his phone buzzed on the desk. He answered immediately.“It’s Mia,” came the voice on the line. “We’ve got something.”Damian’s eyes narrowed. “Go on.”“We tracked Victor’s men. They’ve made contact with someone inside your company.”A slow burn ignited in

Chapter 47: The Gathering Storm

The grand ballroom of the Cavendish Hotel was an ocean of elegance and opulence. Crystal chandeliers sparkled above like stars, illuminating the elite of New York as they sipped champagne and exchanged pleasantries. The annual Cavendish Charity Gala was in full swing—a night designed to display power, wealth, and benevolence.But beneath the polished surface, tension crackled like an exposed wire.Damian stood near the entrance, dressed in a tailored black tuxedo, his piercing blue gaze sweeping over the crowd. He wasn’t here for charity tonight. He was hunting.Victor Langston was out there. Somewhere. Damian could feel it.He adjusted the cuff of his jacket, glancing briefly toward the staircase. Sienna was upstairs with Julian, waiting for his signal. They were under strict protection, two of his best operatives stationed outside their suite.He wouldn’t take chances.Mia approached, her expression as hard as steel. “Security is tight. No signs of Victor yet.”“He’ll be here,” Dami

Chapter 48: No Place Safe

Sienna’s pulse pounded in her ears as Victor’s men poured into the suite. There were three of them, dressed in black, eyes cold and focused. The kind of men who followed orders without question. Dangerous orders.“Get behind me,” she whispered to Julian, shielding him with her body as she instinctively backed them toward the far wall.One of the guards lunged at her.Sienna’s reflexes kicked in. She grabbed the nearest object—an ornate lamp from the side table—and swung it hard. It crashed into the man’s shoulder, making him grunt, but he kept coming.Julian whimpered behind her. “Mommy!”“Stay down!” she shouted, her voice fierce despite the fear clawing at her throat.The second man grabbed her wrist, twisting it painfully. The lamp clattered to the ground. Sienna fought like a wildcat, kicking, clawing, but they were too strong.“We don’t want to hurt you,” one of them said, though his grip told another story.Sienna’s heart nearly stopped when she saw the third man heading straigh

Chapter 49: The Calm Before the Storm

The sun was beginning to rise over the Manhattan skyline, but there was no peace inside Cavendish Tower. Sienna sat on the edge of the king-size bed, her arms wrapped tightly around Julian, who had finally fallen asleep against her chest.She watched his little chest rise and fall, brushing his dark hair away from his forehead. There was a faint bruise on his arm from the scuffle, and it made her heart twist painfully.Damian stood nearby, silent. He hadn’t left their side since they’d gotten back to the penthouse. His normally pristine shirt was wrinkled, a smear of dried blood on his sleeve—Victor’s blood.Sienna finally looked up at him. His blue eyes met hers, dark with exhaustion but sharp with something deeper. Regret. Anger. Fear.“I’m taking you both out of the city,” he said quietly.Sienna’s stomach clenched. “And go where?”“I have a place. Somewhere they won’t find us.” His tone left no room for argument.She swallowed hard. “What about your business? Your empire?”Damian’

Chapter 50: Into the Darkness

The room was plunged into pitch-black silence. Sienna’s pulse thundered in her ears as she clutched Julian to her chest, his small body trembling against hers.“Mommy, I’m scared,” he whispered.She kissed his temple, forcing calm into her voice. “It’s okay, baby. We’re safe.”But they weren’t. She knew it.The faint beeping sound was still there, steady now, almost like a warning. She slid off the bed quietly, keeping Julian close as she moved toward the closet. If they stayed out in the open, they’d be vulnerable.Damian had shown her earlier that day where the panic room was, hidden behind a panel in the closet. She just hadn’t expected to need it so soon.Her fingers fumbled along the panel’s edge, her breaths shallow. “Come on,” she muttered under her breath. Julian clung to her, his small hands gripping the fabric of her shirt.Finally, she found the release latch. The panel clicked open, revealing a small space lined with reinforced steel. Not much, but it would keep them safe
