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: When the Monster WokeChapter 15~~~~~~~~~~Tessa stumbled down the grand staircase of the mansion, her hand gripping the banister slick with her own blood. Every breath tore through her chest as she forced herself deeper into the darkened hall. Behind her, footsteps echoed—slow, steady, deliberate. Hunting her.“Enough hide and seek, Tessa…”The voice slid through the shadows, cold and amused. Tessa pressed herself behind a marble pillar, clamping a trembling hand over her mouth to quiet her sobs.“Come out… come out, Tessa.”His tone was playful, almost sing-song, which made it even worse.A silhouette drifted into view, his steps unhurried as though he already knew the ending. Tessa fought to stay silent, muscles shaking, tears streaking through the grime on her face.Then—A hand snatched her from behind the pillar.“Found you.”Her scream was ripped from her as he slammed her against the wall. Pain exploded through her ribs, and she hit the floor with a choked cry, coughing blood onto the polished til

Chapter: The AttackChapter 14~~ NIGHT — VOSS MANSION ~~Tessa had just tucked Luna in, switching off the lamp when a sharp pain twisted through her lower stomach.“Ah—damn,” she hissed, pressing her palm flat against her abdomen.Her cramps were getting worse.Too familiar.“Please don’t let this be what I think it is…” she muttered as she shuffled into her room.She opened her drawer.Paused.Stared.Then groaned loudly.“Oh perfect. Of course. Of course I’d forget tampons of all things.”She dragged a hand down her face. “My uterus hates me.”She marched to Teresa’s room and knocked lightly.Nothing.Knocked again.Still nothing.“Seriously? You pick tonight to sleep like a log?”She jiggled the doorknob — locked.Tessa let her head fall against the door dramatically.“Great. I’m dying.”She trudged back into her room, threw on joggers, a big hoodie, grabbed her phone, and stepped into the hallway.OUTSIDETessa reached the gate, only to find two guards standing there like statues.

Chapter: The House Filled With SecretsChapter 13~~ VOSS MANSION — NIGHT ~~The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of the bedside lamp. Tessa sat curled at the edge of Luna’s bed, her fingers gently brushing through the little girl’s hair. Luna breathed softly, her tiny hand still loosely clutching Tessa’s sleeve even in sleep.“Such a lucky girl…” Tessa whispered, her throat tight. “Your dad would burn down the world for you.”Her smile wavered, trembling.“How I wish…” She swallowed the ache clawing up her chest. “How I wish my own dad cared enough to even look at me—much less fight for me.”The thought stabbed deeper than she expected. She blinked hard, but tears still spilled over, streaking her cheeks silently.“Luna,” she whispered, brushing a loose curl off the girl’s forehead. “If something happens to me… my sister… she’ll be all alone. She pretends she’s grown, but she still needs me. I can’t—” Her breath broke. “I can’t leave her.”The room suddenly felt smaller, the shadows heavier.“I don’t want to believ

Chapter: A Heiress MarkedChapter 12~~NIGHT~~Tessa sat at the dining table, completely still, completely gone. Her eyes were unfocused, her fingers hovering near her lips, her mind racing in circles since Ashley’s visit. Every thought felt heavier than the last.Could Kingsley really go that far?Would he actually kill people… just to protect Luna?The more she thought about it, the more it refused to sound impossible.And that realization made something cold curl in her stomach.She didn’t even hear Mia walk into the house.“Tess… Tessa?”No reaction.“TESSA!”Tessa jolted so hard the chair legs scraped the floor. Her breath hitched. “Oh—Mia. You’re back.” She stood too quickly, like someone trying to outrun whatever she was thinking.Mia frowned. “What were you thinking about? I’ve been calling you forever.”Tessa forced a smile that didn’t touch her eyes. When she reached out to ruffle Mia’s hair, her hand was shaking.“Sorry. Just… work stuff.”“Really?” Mia asked, brows knitting as she studied her siste

Chapter: What if I Was NextChapter 11~~~~ NEXT DAY ~~~~ 7:30 AM~~ TESSA’S RESIDENCE ~~“Mia! Breakfast is ready!” Tessa called from the kitchen.Mia stepped out of her room already dressed for her early morning classes—jeans, a fitted top, her laptop bag slung over one shoulder, and her hair neatly packed. She looked fresh, composed, and painfully mature for her age… a reminder of how hard Tessa had tried to keep her away from the chaos of their past.“Oh my God, I missed your cooking so much, big sis,” Mia said, taking her seat at the dining table with an eager smile.“Do you need help, sis?” she asked.Tessa smiled, masking her exhaustion.“No, just sit still. I’ve got it.”She placed the plates down gently.“Here we go. Dig in.”Mia didn’t need to be told twice.“Sis, did you hear about the rumors going around about Kingsley? They said he had a secret child,” Mia said between bites.Tessa raised a brow. “Did you believe it?”“Why would you even ask?” Mia scoffed. “I’ve been Kingsley’s fan for YEARS. There’

Chapter: When Fury Met the Wrong TargetChapter 10~~~ Same Day ~~~ 6:00 PMTessa shook her head violently, eyes wide, chest tight with panic as Kingsley stared at her like she had personally stabbed him.“I didn’t,” she mouthed desperately.But he wasn’t listening.Kingsley turned back to Luna instead, brushing her hair softly, voice dripping with gentleness that Tessa had NEVER experienced from him.“Baby… get some rest for now. You just woke up. We’ll talk about this later, alright?” he whispered, wiping her tears.Luna nodded weakly and drifted back to sleep.The moment her breathing steadied, Kingsley rose slowly—too slowly—like a man reeling in a storm.He looked at Tessa, his eyes cold as stone.“Follow me,” he said.Calm. Too calm.Tessa’s stomach dropped. I’m screwed, she muttered under her breath as she followed him into his office.The door clicked shut behind her.Kingsley didn’t turn. Didn’t speak. He just stood with his back to her, shoulders tight with barely controlled fury.“H-hmm, I think you’re misunderst
