Urghhhh” Elowen groaned tiredly. She felt the weight of the day in her bones.The conversation with Yura had shaken her more than she wanted to admit, but it had also made something clear: she could not wait for the truth to fall into place. She had to act.Cassian was still in the study, going through files. His brow was tight and his hands were moving over documents with precision. At any slightest time, he muttered a word under his breath, either in frustration, worry or calculation.Elowen stepped closer. “Cassian,” she said softly.He looked up, and for a moment, she thought he would smile but the tension in his jaw didn’t soften.“What is it?” he asked.“We need to take the first step,” she said. “We can’t just wait for whoever has the drive to make the next move.”Cassian ran a hand through his hair. “And what step is that?”She drew in a breath, steadying herself. “We make them show themselves then We force the first move, carefully” Cassian studied her. The way she said it w

Her body felt heavy, but not in pain but she was tired when she woke up. Elowen placed a hand over her stomach without thinking. The movement inside her was gentle, steady and calm today and that was what mattered.She lay still for a moment, listening to the house. It was quiet, but not empty. Cassian. She thought.She pushed herself upright and reached for her robe. Pregnancy had taught her patience.She stepped into the hallway and followed the soft glow of light toward the living room.Cassian stood near the window with his phone in his hand, his posture tight. He hadn’t noticed her yet.“Elowen,” he said quickly when he turned. “Did I wake you?”“No,” she replied. “I woke up because you weren’t there.”That made him pause.She walked closer, slowly, and took his hand. His grip was strong, but tense.“What happened?” she asked.Cassian hesitated. He always did when the truth felt heavy.“There’s something missing,” he said. “Something important.”She didn’t let go, she persis

Cassian did not ask Elias to sit and that alone said enough.Elias stood near the door with his hands folded behind his back and his face was so calm in the way Cassian had learned not to trust. The room was quiet except for the low hum of the lights above them. Outside the glass wall, the city moved as if nothing was breaking apart inside this building.“You said the audit was finished,” Cassian said.He kept his voice even and nodded once. “Yes.”“That’s all?” Cassian asked still in doubts.Elias met his gaze. He did not rush to explain and he did not fill the silence. He had always known how to use quietness like a weapon.“That’s all you asked,” Elias replied.Cassian watched him closely. He searched for unusuals, something in the eyes, the shoulders, the breath but Elias gave him nothing.Cassian leaned back against the desk. “You didn’t bring a report.”“No,” Elias said.“Why?”“Because a report leaves a trail.”Cassian’s furrowed his eyebrows. “So you came empty-handed.”“I

Cassian woke before dawn. The house was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against his ears. He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, listening to his own breathing. For the first time in weeks, his mind felt clear.That alone should have warned him. He got out of bed and walked to the window. Outside, the city was just starting to become lively and behind him, Elowen slept on her side, one hand resting protectively over her stomach. Cassian watched her for a long moment. The twins were safe. That was what mattered most. That was what he kept telling himself.I’m winning, he thought.The legal pressure on his father was tightening. Key accounts had been frozen. Two allies had stepped back, choosing silence over loyalty. The evidence Cassian had gathered, clean, verified, and legal was finally being taken seriously.For the first time, Anton Vale was cornered.Cassian let out a loud breath.He dressed quietly and left the bedroom, closing the door with care.

Cassian arrived at the backup facility just before dawn.The building stood alone at the edge of the industrial zone, surrounded by empty roads and silent warehouses and that was what bothered him most.He stepped out of the car, the cold air brushing his face. Two guards followed behind him maintaining careful footsteps.Cassian raised a hand, signaling them to stop.“Wait here,” he said quietly.“Sir…” one of them began.“I’ll call if I need you.” He interrupted.They hesitated, then nodded.Cassian approached the entrance alone and he found out that the door was still open, it was not damaged.He paused at the threshold, listening for any noise or sound but there were no footsteps or voices. No hum of machines.Cassian stepped inside. The lights were on, but dim. His shoes echoed softly against the floor as he moved forward.He didn’t rush in order for him not to miss things.Cassian walked past rows of secured cabinets and data terminals. Screens blinked quietly, still powered. No

Yura knew something was wrong the moment the hallway went quiet.She stood near the window of the temporary apartment with her arms folded tight against her chest. Her phone lay on the table beside her. There were no new messages. There were no warnings. Cassian had told her to stay put and trust the system. Yura let out a slow breath, then she started hearing footsteps.Yura’s spine stiffened. She turned off the lamp with one quick movement and stepped back into the shadows near the wall. Her heart began to pound, not fast, but deep and stead.She listened. The footsteps stopped outside her door and silence followed.Then, a key slid into the lock.Yura’s breath caught.“Impossible. Only three people had access to this apartment. Cassian, the security. And…”Her thoughts cut off as the lock turned and the door opened slowly.Yura widened her eyes in curiosity.She watched as a figure stepped inside, tall and calm, dressed in dark clothes that blended into the night. The person clos
