Chapter: Forever in Our HeartsChapter 74~~ FUNERAL ~~Everyone took their turn in dropping flowers on the grave of Caspian. His tombstone was carved with his real name:“Theodore Frost – Beloved Brother, Friend, Father, and Husband. Forever in Our Hearts.”Sandro walked forward first, dressed in his black suit and dark sunglasses, his face unreadable but his voice heavy.“Never thought I’d bury one of my brothers. It was fun living with you, Frost. You weren’t just a soldier, you were a big part of my life. Rest well, brother.” He placed his flower down and stepped back.Anna walked next, her smile trembling with sadness.“Hey Caspian… living good, huh? Who would’ve thought my gorgeous little best friend would leave me alone after all your promises. You liar.” She chuckled through her tears, dropped her flower, and stepped away.One after another, the rest of the family stepped forward — Kendrox, Fire, Marco, even Lyra — each leaving their flowers in silence, their grief weighing heavier than words.Last came Scy

Chapter: Theodore Chapter 73~~~ ESPOSITO HOSPITAL – 11:00 PM ~~~The night ripped apart with sirens as different cars screeched into the hospital compound. Doctors and nurses rushed out with stretchers, shouting orders.Caspian, bloodied and unconscious, was lifted quickly. His hand slipped lifelessly from the stretcher as they pushed him through the sliding doors.The director hurried toward Sandro. “Sir, you’re bleeding. Please, come with me.”Sandro’s eyes, red with fury and exhaustion, shot him a glare. “Attend to my man first! Get the best doctor here and put your fucking hands to use!” he barked, his voice cracking with both rage and fear.Anna gently touched his arm. “You’re bleeding, let him check you. Caspian will be fine.”Sandro closed his eyes tightly, struggling. Finally, he exhaled. “...Okay.” He let the director lead him away.Two Hours LaterJenny stirred awake in a dim ward, her lashes wet. Anna sat beside her, eyes swollen from crying.Jenny’s voice broke immediately. “What’s going o

Chapter: What Remains After FireChapter 72Caspian shot down guard after guard, his movements sharp, merciless. He grabbed one by the throat and slammed him against the wall, the man’s body crumpling before he even hit the floor. Caspian advanced, gun raised, rounding the corner—only to nearly fire at the figure who appeared before him.His finger froze on the trigger.“Scylla?” he breathed.Her eyes widened. The gun in her hand slipped from her grasp and clattered to the floor as tears spilled down her cheeks. In the next instant, she ran straight into his arms.“Theo…” she choked against his chest.The name struck him like a bullet. His gun slipped from his hand, clattering to the ground. He pushed her back slightly, disbelief tearing through him.“What… what did you just call me?” his voice cracked.“Theodore,” she whispered again, sobbing. “It’s me… Juliette.”For a heartbeat, the world stopped. His throat burned, his chest constricted as if he couldn’t breathe.“Juliette?” His voice broke. “No… no, this… this c

Chapter: The Face of the EnemyChapters 71Scylla staggered back, her eyes wide. “H–How the hell…?”“Help me,” Thane rasped, before collapsing into their arms.Chaos broke out instantly. He was rushed to the infirmary, word spreading like wildfire through the clan until it reached Sandro. The moment he heard the name, his blood ran cold. His chair scraped violently against the floor as he bolted out of his office and sprinted down the hall.When he pushed the infirmary doors open, the sight stopped him dead.On the bed lay Thane. His Thane. His dead friend—the brother he mourned every single day—breathing. Alive.Sandro’s throat tightened. His hand shook as he reached out, trembling inches away from Thane’s face, but he couldn’t bring himself to touch. His voice cracked, barely a whisper.“How… how is this possible?”His knees buckled. He collapsed into the chair beside the bed, his chest rising and falling unevenly. He whispered the name again and again, like a prayer, like a curse.“Thane… Thane…”Minutes bled in

Chapter: Twins of the Broken CodeChapter 70~~~THREE MONTHS LATER~~~~~~DARK DOMAIN – NIGHT~~~Jenny had been brought to the clan by Sandro two months ago, hoping Caspian would come after her. But he never did. Three months passed, and still, neither Caspian nor Ace had appeared. They had vanished into thin air—like smoke swallowed by the night.Jenny sat outside the clan gates, her phone beside her, her gaze fixed on the silent moon. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.“Hey,” a soft voice called.She turned to see Scylla approaching.“Hi,” Jenny whispered, quickly wiping her face before looking away.“What are you thinking about?” Scylla asked gently.Jenny forced a brittle smile. “Nothing… I just… I can’t stop thinking about him. What if something really happened to him?” Her voice cracked as tears slipped free.Scylla didn’t hesitate. She pulled Jenny into her arms, her own eyes heavy. “Caspian was like a brother to me… I saw him as family. Never—not once—did I imagine he’d do this. Why? Why the hell would he?”

Chapter: The Name They Fear: VincenzoChapter 22Voss EntertainmentKingsley sat in the meeting room, his body present but his mind far away as his eyes stayed fixed on the projector without actually seeing anything, his thoughts completely occupied with Tessa.She had been gone for two days without calling him, not even once to ask about Luna, and even though he felt annoyed, there was a deeper feeling of guilt sitting heavily in his chest because he knew it was his fault, he shouldn’t have spoken to her that way.The meeting felt empty to him, every voice sounded distant and meaningless as he kept staring ahead."Sir… sir," the lady presenting called out, trying to get his attention but Kingsley didn’t respond."Boss," Vince called again, louder this time, snapping him out of his thoughts.Kingsley straightened up slightly and cleared his throat before picking up his tablet, giving a small nod to signal her to continue."The scandal about one of our actresses is still going viral on the media, we tried to have it taken d

Chapter: The Monster She TrustedChapter 21~~~~~~~~Tessa sat still by Mia's bed, she didn’t blink or say anything, she just kept staring at her sister as tears rolled down her cheeks while her fingers curled tightly in her lap."What will I do now Mia, how did things get this tough," she cried softly, her voice breaking.A knock came on the door and she turned her head slowly, her eyes landing on Jarek who stood there with his hands behind his back.He walked closer carefully with his head slightly bowed. "Te… Tessa," he stuttered.Tessa sprang up immediately, her movements quick and restless. "What happened, what happened to my sister," she half yelled as she grabbed his hands tightly."You guys are close, she’s always talking about you so you should know, what the hell happened to her," she said as tears streamed down her face.Jarek let out a shaky breath, his lips trembling. "I… I’m sorry, I don’t think I can ever forgive myself for this, if it wasn’t for me, if I didn’t leave her alone because I was angry, she

Chapter: Too Late To ProtectChapter 20~~TESSA'S RESIDENCE~~A car pulled up in front of Tessa’s house, but she didn’t move, she sat frozen with her eyes fixed ahead and her fingers curled tightly in her lap. Felix walked around to her side and opened the car door, leaning slightly as he called her name.“Tessa, Tess,” he said softly, but she didn’t respond, her gaze still distant and unfocused. “Tessa, come on,” he added, tapping her shoulder gently.She blinked and turned to him slowly, her eyes glassy with unshed tears. “What will happen to Luna now? Will she think I’m a bad person?” she asked, her voice shaking.Felix hesitated for a moment before forcing a small, reassuring smile. “I think she’ll understand, she likes you more than you think.”Tessa shook her head immediately, her lips trembling as she struggled to hold herself together. “I don’t want to leave, I never want to leave her alone but…” her voice cracked and the rest of her words dissolved into sobs.Felix pulled her into a hug without another w

Chapter: The Words That Broke HerChapter 19Voss EntertainmentKingsley stood beside the window of his office, gazing down at the city, his hands fixed in his pockets as he stared ahead. His mind went back to what Felix told him yesterday, and he sighed.“What does he think he’s doing?” Kingsley muttered as Vince walked in.“Sir, you have an appointment at 2 and a shoot”“What’s the situation at the mansion?” he cut in, turning away from the window to look at him.“Your mother took Luna to her place for the holiday. Other than that, nothing,” Vince said, and Kingsley’s eyes changed.“She left the mansion? What about Felix?” he asked.“He’s at the mansion. Do you need anything from there?” Vince asked.“Cancel my appointments. I’m heading back to the mansion,” Kingsley said.“But sir, your shoot?” Vince called after him, but he was already gone.“I smell jealousy,” Vince said with a slight smile as he walked out.~~Voss Mansion~~The drive to the mansion wasn’t gentle, as Kingsley’s car almost flew while he drove towar

Chapter: Don't Let Me Love YouChapter 18Kingsley sat on the far end of the sofa, deliberately distant from his mother.Felix had just finished his polite chitchat with Tessa before she carried Luna upstairs, her small body limp with sleep, fallen asleep in Mrs Voss’s arms. The house had grown quiet—but not peaceful.“Why show up unannounced?” Kingsley said at last, his gaze fixed on the floor.His mother inhaled slowly. “King, I’m your mother. And this—” she gestured vaguely between them, “—this hostility has to stop. You treat your family like we’re a thorn lodged in your flesh.”A humorless smile tugged at Kingsley’s lips.“Do you really think showing up now will make up for what you did when Luna was born?” His voice hardened. “Because it won’t.”Felix shifted uneasily. “Brother, calm down. Mother had her reasons—”Kingsley shot him a glare sharp enough to silence him.“Do you know how it feels,” Kingsley continued, his voice rising, “to raise a newborn alone? To wake up every night, every single night, wonderi

Chapter: The One Before HimChapter 17~~~Next Day~~~Tessa woke with a throbbing headache, her skull pounding like it had been split open. The taste of alcohol lingered on her tongue as she groaned and squinted at her phone.“Oh my God— it’s ten. Luna’s late for school!”She shot out of bed, splashed water on her face, and bolted from her room. “Tessa!” Teresa called as she flew down the stairs.“Why didn’t you wake me up? Where’s Luna?” Tessa demanded, panic sharp in her voice.“She’s already at school.” Tessa froze. “What? And Kingsley—sorry—Sir?”“He instructed us not to wake you. I got Luna ready and sent her off.”Tessa dragged a hand through her hair, frustration simmering. That bastard. He got me drunk. This is his fault.She muttered an excuse and stormed back to her room, throwing herself onto the bed and rolling onto her side.“What the hell happened last night?” she whispered. “Why can’t I remember—” Her breath hitched.Fragments slammed into her mind. His face. His scent. The heat of his breath—
