Where are we going?To someone who owes me more favors than he likes to admit.Ten minutes later, Larris parked behind an unmarked warehouse. The inside smelled of motor oil and old secrets. A man in a grease stained shirt looked up from a workbench.Let me guess, he muttered. You’re in trouble again.Larris smirked. You love it, Leon.Leon grunted. I tolerate you. Who's the girl?

Chapter: Chapter 5SHADOWS IN GREYFALLThe world outside this balcony was quiet, uncomfortably so for a city like Greyfall.Teresa felt it before she could explain it. A tension and heaviness of an old instinct told her something was shifting again, and she had learned to trust it. it had saved her life more than once.Larris stepped beside her, still holding a mug of coffee.You’re thinking again, he said, a tiny smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.She kept her gaze out on the view. I can’t help it. Peace feels strange.Peace is allowed, he said softly.Yes. But peace in Greyfall that is what feels strange.Larris chuckled. “LYou sound like me.Maybe I've learned a thing or two.He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, warm and solid. What's bothering you?Teresa hesitated. Did you hear the news this morning?No.They moved Desmond to Blackwater Prison.Larris expression changed. He was outwardly calm, but that alertness flickered in his eyes. Already? That was fast.Teresa nodded. And they're say

Chapter: Chapter 4THE CITY OF SHADOWSHours later, they reached the outskirts of Greyfall City again.Exhausted.Starving.Cold.But alive.Larris took her to a hidden apartment above an old bookstore—another safehouse.The moment they were inside, Teresa collapsed onto the couch. I cannot keep running like this.Larris knelt beside her. I know.What do they want so badly that they’re willing to kill me?Larris hesitated.Then he showed her.A leather briefcase.Inside it documents, bank accounts, shares, contracts, her name everywhere.This, he said, is your grandfather's legacy. And the key to controlling it is your signature.Theresa stared, throat tight.My whole life was a lie.Not a lie, Larris said softly. A secret meant to protect you.She looked up at him. Why protect me? Why did my grandfather trust you?Larris looked away.Because I used to work for Jerry Desmond.Time froze.The breath seemed to leave her body. What?I wasn’t always on the right side, he said, his voice dropping. Your gran

Chapter: Chapter 3THE SAFEHOUSE.The safehouse wasn't what Teresa had expected.It was a small, wooden cabin, tucked deep inside the Greyfall Forest. Humble and Quiet. Almost peaceful if not for the danger that lay in wait behind them, like a shadow.Larris checked every window and door before allowing her inside.Are we… alone here? she asked.Completely, he said to reassure her. Only you and I know this place exists.She swallowed nervously. So what happens next?Larris hesitated.You rest, he said finally. Then we talk.Teresa nodded, although her chest ached from exhaustion and fear. Inside the cabin was warm, lit by a single lantern. Larris gave her a long hoodie to replace the soaked wedding dress.She changed in the small bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror.Mascara streaked her cheeks.Her hair was tangled.Her body shook.This wasn’t the woman she thought she’d become.But maybe that wasn't a bad thing.When she came out, Larris had brewed tea for her.She took a sip and whispered, Th

Chapter: Chapter 2THE STRANGER IN THE RAINTeresa stepped back, her wet dress clinging to her body like a second skin. Who are you?The man nodded toward the street, flashlights sweeping in the rain. Right now? The only person who isn’t planning to drag you back to that cathedral."Answer me," she demanded, her voice shaking.He held up his hands. "Fine. My name is Larris. And I've been watching Jerry Desmond for months."Her stomach knotted. Why?Because your fiancé isn't who you think he is.A distant shout, now closer, echoed.Larris clutched her hand once more. Move.She hesitated.Then she heard Desmond's voice, angry, ordering.Bring her to me, NOW!Her decision was instantaneous.She ran with Larris They ran down alleys, puddles splashing below their feet, as rain turned the whole city into a glowing smear of streetlights and danger.Larris led her to a basement garage behind an abandoned laundromat. He unlocked a dusty car, ushered her inside, and sped off just as the guards rounded the corner
