THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIDDEN MISSION
In the glittering coastal city of Lumine Bay, where wealth hides corruption and power is protected by shadows, Elara Moretti appears to have the perfect life as the wife of billionaire Damon Moretti. But behind the luxury, her marriage is cold, controlled, and full of locked rooms she has never been allowed to enter.
Her world fractures the night she returns from a charity gala to find a threat note waiting in her car:
“Your husband built an empire of enemies. You’ll be the first to fall.”
By morning, Damon had vanished. His phone is off, his safe has been opened, and the mansion’s security system shuts down in a mysterious lockdown. The Moretti estate, an ultra-modern fortress, becomes a cage.
Then a stranger enters through the darkness.
Kai Valez, a disciplined, unreadable operative, arrives claiming to have Damon’s clearance and strict orders to protect her. Elara doesn’t trust him… but the attacks closing in leave her no choice.
As danger intensifies, she uncovers alarming secrets hidden within Damon’s world: classified files, coded messages, surveillance footage of herself, and a mission tied directly to her past. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes, Damon didn’t disappear.
He planned everything.
Now Elara must navigate a web of lies involving her husband, his powerful family, and the man suddenly risking his life for her. Loyalties blur. Enemies multiply. And the line between protector and threat becomes terrifyingly thin.
Just when Elara finds the strength to fight back, she receives a final message:
A video.
Damon is alive.
Staring straight into the camera.
“Elara… don’t trust the man beside you.”
And the mission truly begins.

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE — FIRST MOVEElara decided without ceremony.There was no moment of rebellion, no inner speech to mark the turn. She simply reached a point where waiting felt louder than acting. Kai had given her language, not permission. The difference mattered.She chose a day that looked ordinary.Morning passed as usual. The sanctuary breathed in its familiar rhythm, quiet corridors, softened light, conversations that drifted and dissolved. Nothing suggested change. That was the advantage. Systems relaxed when they believed nothing was being tested.Her move began with a question.Not a request. Not a demand. A question placed where curiosity was expected and consequence was not. She asked for access to a minor archive, dated records, internal audits that no one referenced anymore because they had already done their work by being forgotten.The response arrived quickly.Approved.No delay. No justification. No escalation.That, more than the access itself, confirmed what she suspected. The archive was watched

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR — THE COST OF KNOWINGKai waited until evening.Elara noticed that, too.He could have spoken earlier. There had been space for it, quiet hours, shared corridors, the careful neutrality of the sanctuary’s common rooms. Instead, he chose the hour when the building softened its vigilance, when lights dimmed and footsteps thinned. When the truth, if it came, would not echo.He led her to a room she hadn’t entered before.No windows. No glass. The walls were finished in a dull, patient gray that absorbed sound. A single table stood at the center, bare except for a slim tablet resting face down, as if even it understood the weight of what it carried.“This isn’t about control,” Kai said as the door closed behind them. “It’s about scale.”Elara remained standing. “Scale is just distance,” she replied. “Between what we know and what we pretend not to.”He didn’t argue.Kai turned the tablet over and activated it. The screen lit, not with names or faces, but with motion. Lines appeared, intersected, and withdrew.

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE — SAFE IS A SHAPEElara discovered the limits of the sanctuary by forgetting, briefly, that it had any.The first time it happened, she was distracted. Not anxious. Not cautious. Simply human. She had woken from a dream she couldn’t fully recall, only the sensation of reaching for something that wasn’t there, and for a few minutes she walked as if the space belonged to her.She took a corridor she’d never used before.It curved gently, lit by a softer strip of light than the main halls. No warning signs. No visible barrier. Just a door at the end that looked like every other door in the building.She reached for the handle.Nothing dramatic followed. No alarm. No voice. Just a pause, barely perceptible, before the handle resisted her hand.She stood there longer than necessary, fingers still resting against the metal, a quiet heat rising beneath her ribs.It wasn’t locked.It was deciding.She stepped back, and the pressure vanished.That was when she understood: the sanctuary didn’t stop movement. It

Chapter: CHAPTER TWO — THE RULES NO ONE WRITESKai did not begin with a lesson.He did not sit her down, or list principles, or warn her about what she was about to see. Instead, he waited until the day had grown loud and impatient, then handed her a coat and told her to follow him.The car was ordinary, too ordinary. No markings, no sense of importance. Elara noticed that first. Damon never used things that drew attention. He preferred what blended in, what invited no questions.They drove without speaking. The city pressed in around them, dense and restless, its movement uneven, like something breathing too fast. Elara watched reflections slide across the window and tried to name what unsettled her. It wasn’t fear. It was recognition.Kai stopped several blocks short of the central exchange and cut the engine.“We walk from here,” he said.She stepped out into noise and heat and unfinished conversations. The street was narrower than the ones closer to the towers, crowded with people who moved as if every second mattered. Elara f

Chapter: Book 2 : CHAPTER ONE — ASHES DON'T RESTElara woke before the light reached the windows.She lay still for a moment, listening, not for danger, but for proof that the room would stay as it was. Quiet. High above the city. Too clean. Too carefully arranged to be accidental.She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and crossed to the glass wall. The city was already awake. From this height, it looked almost peaceful, its noise softened into a low, distant pulse. People down there were making decisions, breaking promises, building things they’d later pretend were inevitable.This was where they’d put her when everything ended.Safe. Untouched. Watched.She rested her forehead against the glass. It was cold enough to ground her, enough to remind her that whatever this place was, it wasn’t freedom. Damon had loved places like this. Places that claimed to offer protection while quietly stripping away choice.She had learned that lesson the hard way.“I thought you’d still be asleep.”Kai’s voice came from behind her. Not sharp

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY — FINAL TWISTThe message arrived when the house was finally quiet.Not the fragile quiet that followed panic, but the heavier kind that came after survival. Dawn light slipped through the narrow windows of the safehouse, pale and cautious, touching the edges of furniture like it wasn’t sure it was welcome.Elara sat on the floor with her back against the couch, knees drawn to her chest. She hadn’t slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw fire, falling glass, the island collapsing into darkness.Kai stood near the window, half-shadowed, scanning the empty road outside. He had barely moved all night. Every few minutes, his gaze returned to her, as if checking that she was still real. Still breathing.They were alive.That should have been enough.The phone vibrated.Once.Short. Controlled.Wrong.Both of them froze.Kai turned first. His hand went instinctively to the weapon at his side, his body already angling toward Elara. “Don’t touch it.”Elara stared at the device on the table. It hadn’
