Chapter: RAPHAEL'S BETRAYAL
ZAYNThe dock smelled like salt, diesel, and old rope, the kind of place where deals went down under flickering lights and nobody asked questions. The ship finally bumped against the concrete pier, engines coughing their last as the crew exploded into action. They scrambled off like rats fleeing a sinking ship, boots slapping against the wet planks, voices overlapping in a frantic mess of curses and shouts. I didn’t blame them. Today had been long, bloody, it was perfectly normal for them to try and get off as fast as they could.I stepped off last, Celez slung over my shoulder like a sack of grain. My arm locked around her legs to keep her steady, her weight familiar now after carrying her through the lower decks. She was still out cold, breathing shallow against my back. I kept my pace even, boots crunching over gravel as I moved toward the waiting group.Jade stood there with backup, half a dozen of our guys, armed and alert, scanning the area like they expected trouble to jump out

Chapter: THE MEETING
AURELIAI rolled on my bed, my stomach growling with hunger. I was genuinely starting to wonder if those two brothers then were even humans. They seemed perfectly comfortable not having anything to eat. I got up after a long time of pondering and headed to the kitchen. Looking at the eggs, I cursed loudly and decided to fry some eggs instead. Heating the pan up I poured some oil and started looking for where I was supposed to break the eggs in. I couldn't find any. My stomach growled and I had the urge to scratch my hair but then I remembered the bandage I had and decided against it.Suddenly the frying pan caught fire and I stood, transfixed to the spot, not knowing what to do about it. The flames licked the edge of the pan.I stood there like a statue, eyes wide as the flames danced higher in the frying pan. The oil was spitting and popping, and the smell of burning filled the kitchen. My heart slammed against my ribs. Oh God, what have I done?* I reached out halfway, then pulled ba

Chapter: TWO DAYS AND A HALF
AURELIA “...get the fucking idiots out of there…” I groaned as I struggled to gain consciousness. My head banged like crazy as I blinked. The dim chandelier was the first thing I saw. I sat upright, confused as I searched my surroundings. I became familiar with Zayn's small penthouse.“, you're overlooking the fact that someone leaked information that went as far as reaching interpol,” Lorenzo's voice came from outside the door. My head throbbed painfully and I realized I had a bandage around it.Their bickering outside wasn't even helping situations. I pushed open the door and saw Zayn looking pissed off as he cleaned a shotgun. Both their gazes snapped towards my direction, alarmed and cautious.Lorenzo's expression softened a tiny bit but Zayn's remained the same.“Shouldn't you be resting in bed?” Zayn finally responded, his voice icy.“How long was I out for?” I asked back.Zayn didn't reply, he greeted me with his usual silence.“Two and a half,” Lorenzo finally spoke up in his

Chapter: SPINNING DARKNESS
AURELIA Everywhere suddenly erupted in chaos. Men came forward, guns pointed at me but I relaxed. I was directly behind the captain, anyone who wanted to shoot me would have to shoot me first and then we'll all be stranded here unless someone knows how to sail a ship then yeah, we might probably get out of here.Zayn stood at the back, his expression faltering for a second before it hardened and he swung Into action. Three men rushed towards him and he had them knocked down in seconds. My gaze was glued on him, hypnotized by his movements. My heart hammered like a drum in my chest as I watched Zayn move. He was a blur of fists and power, dodging punches from two guys like it was nothing, then landing his own with sickening thuds that dropped them one after another. I kept my gun pressed against the captain’s head, trying to look like I knew what I was doing, but my eyes kept flicking back to Zayn. We were outnumbered, the deck was chaos, and every second felt like it could be our la

Chapter: HAMMERING HEART
AURELIA My heart hammered so hard I could barely breathe. This wasn’t supposed to be happening. I was the one who was supposed to protect him, damn it. I was his bodyguard. Yet here I was, tucked against Zayn like some fragile thing while chaos exploded around us.I slowly lifted my head, and my gaze locked onto his face. God, he was beautiful. Even now, with everything falling apart, I couldn’t stop staring. His sharp jawline was clenched tight, a streak of blood running down from his temple, tracing a dark path along his cheekbone before disappearing near the corner of his mouth. It should have made him look wrecked. Instead, it only sharpened everything… the intensity in his eyes, the raw power in the set of his shoulders. The blood made him look more alive.My eyes traced the line of his nose, the slight furrow between his brows, the way his dark lashes cast faint shadows on his skin. How was it possible for someone to look like this in the middle of a gunfight? My thoughts scatt

Chapter: SPANISHTARDS
AURELIA “I FOUND IT!”“I FOUND HIM!” My voice and Lorenzo's voice clashed together as we spoke into our earpiece.“What?” I asked again.“He was knocked unconscious and tied up by two men. I knocked them out too but I needed to get him out of here as fast as I could. Stay right there and mark that particular shipment. That can't be the only one there would be more so find every single one of them… once you've marked it we might both have to go into hiding, they've marked both our faces, you stay on deck and watch out for anyone that's more likely to be the mastermind.” The line went quiet again before I could say anything further.I cursed loudly, I marked the container and walked towards the next one. I was filled with crabs and as predicted, I walked in, wrinkling my nose as I inspected it and noticed a plastic-like kind of material peeking out from within.I was about to leave when I heard a whistle. I froze at the entrance as the man with decaying teeth suddenly stood staring at

THE LINE BETWEEN US

THE LINE BETWEEN US

Autumn Simeons had loved Damian McLaren for as long as she could remember. From childhood to their teenage years, he was her safe place, the one person who made life feel lighter. But while Damian came from wealth and privilege, Autumn’s life was far simpler—and his heart seemed to belong to someone else. She kept her feelings hidden, choosing to be the best friend he could rely on. That fragile balance broke when Damian got a girlfriend who saw Autumn as a threat. Tension grew until, without warning, Damian cut her out of his life completely. One day they were inseparable; the next, he treated her like a stranger. Months later, fate intervened when Damian’s mother, worried about his slipping grades, asked Autumn to tutor him—unaware of the rift between them. Both protested, but their parents insisted. Now, forced into the same space, Autumn must face the boy she still loves, who seems to resent her presence. His girlfriend’s shadow hangs over every exchange, and unspoken history simmers beneath the surface. As old feelings resurface, Autumn realizes some lessons can’t be taught from books—they live in stolen glances, unsaid words, and memories that refuse to fade.

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR
Prom came faster than I’d expected. One moment, I was nervously smoothing the hem of my dress, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t too excited, that it was just another school event. And then it was here, lights twinkling like stars had fallen onto the gym floor, music vibrating through the air, and everyone dressed like they’d stepped out of a dream.Taylor had been the first to show up at my doorstep that night, grinning like he had a secret no one else knew. He carried a bouquet that matched my dress, soft pinks and whites, for the first time in weeks, I felt lighter. He’d said the right things, things that made the tension I’d carried for Damian feel like it could finally breathe. That night was a bomb, he’d said. “You can fix things with Damian after prom. I'm totally fine, already moving on. You deserve this night.”And he was right.Prom went smoothly. The slow songs that always made my chest tighten didn’t feel like reminders anymore; they were invitations to laugh, to spi

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE
I didn’t notice it at first.That was the worst part, the way it crept up on me slowly, quietly, like something patient and cruel that knew I wouldn’t fight it until it was too late. It wasn’t one big moment where everything shattered. It was the accumulation of small things. Autumn wasn’t angry.She was worse than angry.She was done paying attention to me.At first, I told myself it was temporary. That she was busy. Exams, stress, life. I’d used those excuses myself often enough to believe them when they suited me. But days passed, then weeks, and every time I saw her in the hallway, it felt like walking past a closed door I used to live behind.She didn’t hate me. She didn’t glare or scoff or throw sharp words my way.She just… didn’t see me anymore.And every single day, it pierced my heart like something thin and precise, like the pain was intentional in its accuracy. Like it knew exactly where to land.Marianne.The name sat in my chest like a stone.I hadn’t loved her the way

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO
The room felt lighter the moment I turned the last page.Not quieter, exam halls are never quiet, but lighter, like something heavy had finally slipped off my shoulders and hit the floor without making a sound. My pen hovered over the paper for a second longer than necessary, ink drying at the end of a sentence I’d rewritten three times just to be sure it sounded like me. Honest. Complete.Done.The word echoed in my head, unreal and fragile. I let out a slow breath, the kind that starts deep in your chest and empties you out on the way up. This was it. The last paper of the session. Months of stress, late nights, tears, silences, things I didn’t talk about and things I didn’t even have words for, all of it ending here, with black ink on white paper.I leaned back slightly in my chair and looked around.Some people were already handing in their scripts, faces bright with relief. Others were still hunched over, scribbling furiously like the clock had personally wronged them. A few star

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE
The next morning, the house was too quiet again, but not in the same sharp, shattered way as the night before. This quiet was padded. Soft. The kind that settles after crying yourself empty, when everything still hurts but your body is too tired to fight it.I woke up on the couch with my neck stiff and my cheek pressed into my mom’s shoulder. For a second, I didn’t remember why my eyes burned or why my chest felt bruised from the inside. Then it all came rushing back at once, and I squeezed my eyes shut like that might keep it from happening.Mom stirred beneath me. Her hand was still tangled in my hair.“Morning, sweetheart,” she murmured, voice thick with sleep.“Morning,” I croaked.She tilted her head to look at me. “You okay?”I almost laughed. Not because it was funny, because the question felt impossible. I nodded anyway. “Yeah.”She didn’t call me out on the lie. She just kissed my temple and shifted so I could sit up properly. “You don’t have to go today if you don’t want to

The house felt wrong after the door slammed.Not quiet, empty. Hollow. Like the sound had knocked something loose inside the walls and taken it with him. I stood there for a long second with my hand still hovering near the doorknob, my chest tight, my breath coming too fast, like if I moved even an inch I might actually fall apart.So I didn’t move.I slid down until my back hit the door and sat there on the floor, knees pulled up, forehead pressed against the wood. The place where his shoulder had been just minutes ago still felt warm in my mind, like my body hadn’t caught up to reality yet.I did this, I thought.I stayed like that for a while. Long enough for the adrenaline to drain out of my limbs and leave behind that awful shaky emptiness. Long enough for my phone to buzz once on the coffee table and then go silent again when I didn’t move to check it. Long enough for my eyes to start burning even though I refused to cry yet.I didn’t want to cry alone.That thought surprised me

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN
The door had barely closed behind him before the words came spilling out of me, sharp and fast and ugly in a way I didn’t bother to soften. They’d been fermenting all day, building pressure with every unanswered message, every empty chair, every step I took alone.“If you’re going to say it was a long day,” I said, voice tight, “don’t.”Damian froze halfway into the room, his backpack still slung over one shoulder like he hadn’t decided whether he was staying or leaving. His brows pulled together. “Autumn…”“No.” I held up a hand, palm out. “You asked if something happened. Something did. A lot of somethings. And I’m not in the mood to pretend I’m fine so you can ease into this.”He hesitated, then let the bag slide off his shoulder and onto the floor. The soft thud sounded too loud in the quiet room. “Okay,” he said carefully. “Talk to me.”That did it.Something inside my chest cracked wide open.“Talk?” I laughed, the sound brittle and wrong. “I’ve been talking, Damian.
