Chapter: CXIX - Blood Over MarseilleThe French city rose before them with indifferent beauty. Marseille welcomed them with a salty breeze and a sky covered in low-hanging clouds, as if the very weather sensed the war that was coming.Amalia stepped off the jet with her coat tight around her body, eyes fixed on the urban horizon. Beside her, Maddox walked with a steady pace, flanked by Max and Dax. Lev, slightly behind, held her purse discreetly, observing everything with sharp eyes."This is the point of no return," murmured Dax as the armored vehicles approached on the private runway."We passed it a long time ago," Max replied, without taking his eyes off the approaching cars.They boarded in silence. The convoy took them through the streets of Marseille to an old manor on the outskirts, a property that had belonged to the Dangello family for generations. Now turned into a temporary headquarters, it would be their base for the final operation.Inside, maps, screens, and electronic devices buzzed with the energy of the

Chapter: CXVIII - Vows in the ShadowsThe early morning left a faint trace of mist over the land surrounding the house. Amalia woke wrapped in a warmth that had nothing to do with the fire: Maddox’s arms held her with measured strength, as if he feared the world could take her even in sleep.She said nothing. Just watched his face. Serene, contained, human.For a moment, she allowed herself the luxury of thinking the end was near.But the sound of the cell phone on the nightstand shattered that fantasy.Maddox sat up instantly, his gray eyes already alert."Who is it?""Dax," she said, picking up the phone. "He says they found something."Half an hour later, they were all gathered in the main living room."We intercepted a call," Dax reported, opening a recording on a laptop. "The number belongs to one of the Council's old contacts. They’re organizing a secret meeting in less than 72 hours.""Where?" Max asked."Marseille. A private yacht, in international waters. It’s not an ambush, it’s a power statement."Amalia crosse

Chapter: CXVII - After the FireThe morning light filtered softly through the windows of the Dangello’s old hideout—far from Las Vegas, far from the noise, far from the chaos. The stone walls held a strange silence, one that didn’t come from the absence of sound, but from the weight of what had just ended.The war had been stopped.Cillian was dead. Project Phoenix, neutralized. The Council, weakened.But no one spoke of victory.Amalia had locked herself in the room she shared with Maddox and hadn’t come out since they arrived. She had been the first to shoot. The first to bring down the monster. And though everyone looked at her like a hero, all she felt was a strange emptiness.Maddox didn’t push her.He waited.Outside, Max was coordinating the final cleanup of what was left in Las Vegas. Dax was training the new allies with a seriousness he had never shown before. And Lev… Lev was resting more peacefully. Her pregnancy was progressing well, and peace was reflected in her eyes every time Max came near. There was

Chapter: CXVI - Echoes of WarThe sun had just begun to tint the edges of the windows with gold when Amalia woke up. Not from exhaustion, but from the intensity of the thoughts that wouldn’t let her rest. The day had come.The operation against Project Phoenix would begin that very night.She went down to the living room and found it empty, though it still smelled like freshly brewed coffee. Max was on the terrace, speaking softly with Lev. From a distance, Amalia noticed the gentleness of his smile and how Lev looked at him with a mix of admiration and curiosity. A silent connection that seemed to grow without words.Dax appeared with a folder under his arm.“We already have the internal blueprints of the Cosmopolitan. Maddox wants us to review them together before noon,” he announced, placing the documents on the marble table.Amalia nodded, taking a quick glance. Internal corridors, emergency exits, evacuation routes, and most importantly, the camera blind spots. Dax’s work was clean. Precise. And that gave her

Chapter: CXV - Voices That ReturnThe morning light filtered through the curtains, bringing with it an unusual calm. Amalia was in the kitchen, making coffee, when a soft knock at the door made her turn around."Who could it be at this hour?" she thought, drying her hands with a towel.When she opened the door, the world seemed to stop. Standing in front of her were June and Kari, her lifelong friends—those she had believed lost forever."Amalia?" June whispered, tears in her eyes.Without a word, Amalia hugged them tightly, feeling overwhelmed by emotion."I thought I’d never see you again," she said between sobs.After a few minutes, they sat down in the living room, still processing the reunion."What happened to you? Where have you been all this time?" Amalia asked, searching for answers.June was the first to speak:"After that night when everything changed, we were kidnapped by a group looking for information about you. They kept us separated, interrogating us constantly."Kari nodded, adding:"We managed to esc

Chapter: CXIV - Shadows Feel TooThe night fell like a sigh over the quiet neighborhood, so different from the chaos I had grown used to. My mother's house, with its scent of cinnamon and aged wood, felt more like a memory than reality. Everything was silent, except for the soft murmur of trees swaying in the wind.Maddox stood by the window, his silhouette outlined by the warm light inside. He was still wearing his black shirt, though it was no longer fully buttoned. His gray eyes, as intense as ever, were fixed on the darkness beyond the glass."You're not going to sleep?" I asked softly, pausing at the threshold of the living room.He didn’t turn at first. He only answered after a long second."Everything here feels... too quiet. It’s strange."I walked closer. The sound of my steps was nearly inaudible on the handwoven rug. He tensed slightly when I stopped beside him, but didn’t pull away."It’s not strange," I said, looking at the same point he was. "It’s peace. Something we don’t know how to hold for too long.

Dominated by Four; Dark Desires
A boundless adventure is two steps out of your way when one woman is able to handle life on a whim, yet trying to keep it under control can become a mess when four men with personalities far removed from each other collide.
Four?
It would be selfish of her not to share all of her for them.
But make no mistake, impulses have nothing to do with love. It is paramount that you remember that.
I can explain the situation to you in a simpler way; a small defenseless animal, cared for by four large dangerous predators. Each of them puts a different world on your back, in a universe of enemies and nothing can go wrong, right?
Enjoy before your perfectly manipulable world spirals out of control or they tear your soul apart, in short.
You understand.
Are you willing to succumb to the most delicious and noxious sensations there can be?

Chapter: 7"Amy, honey," she said in her high-pitched voice like an insistent ringing in my ears and left the two women following her like lapdogs to give her a hug from the position I was in.I watched her through the mirror and smiled softly, not too forcibly, so as not to give her the wrong ideas."Gwen, hi.""I saw you a while ago, you bumped into someone, didn't you," she leaned against the sink, as her minions entered the bathroom."Yeah, some idiot who wasn't watching where he was going," she denied and smiled."You don't change, do you, maybe they bumped into each other for a reason," she lifted the men."You sound like Lucas," I rolled my eyes."And maybe he's right, you are very lonely even though you hang out with men. And not just any men, right," he gave me a meaningful look, but I couldn't qu

Chapter: 6"I think I'm going to start going to that gym they mention so much on social media. People say it's really good and no one regrets it after going," I heard Evan say as I walked him towards the university's soccer stadium, since he had practice and at some point I would have to give the poor guy some attention. We were crossing the long corridors of the university, watching the students chatting among themselves and others entering their respective classes that morning. "What gym are you talking about," I asked curiously. I wasn't a fan of exercise and had never really encouraged myself to do a daily routine, or keep to a set diet. The next day I would forget that I had a commitment to my body and would end up giving in to the idea of fitness. It wasn't part of me. However, it was curious that people had no regrets about going to such a popular gym. Surely the fee would cost you an arm and a leg in cases like that. "The one several blocks from here, the one the crazy psychos were

Chapter: 5"Hello," Lucas jumped into my lap after finding me sitting on the university campus; I liked that about her, that she had green spaces where students could spend the time they had in short time before their next classes. Some had to stay early in the morning and took advantage of the space to share with their classmates.I smiled and gave him space to lie down on the tree he had taken, fortunately, since they usually always occupied the shade and it was not very pleasant to stay under the sun while it was hiding."Were you able to hand in the pending work you had," I asked and let go of the cell phone where I had lost myself for a moment from reality."Yes, you're my hero, Amy," he replied, before giving me a tight hug and I just thought of that word.""Heroine," said the guy I had helped, catching me off guard, as he wrapped his free arm around me and attached me to his body completely."It was that manly built man too much for my eyes, who had caught the attention of all the women p

Chapter: 4"Hi!" jumped into my lap Lucas, after finding me sitting on the university campus; I was pleased about that, that it had green spaces where students could spend the time they had in short order before their upcoming classes. I smiled and gave him room to lie down on the tree I had taken, fortunately, since they usually always occupied the shade and it was not very pleasant to stay under the sun while it was hiding. "Did you already manage to hand in the pending work you had?" I asked and let go of the cell phone where I had lost myself for a moment from reality. "Yes, you're my hero, Amy," he replied, before giving me a tight hug and I just thought of that word. It was that manly built man too much for my eyes, who had caught the attention of all the women present by his great bearing and the way he could make you fall for his game of looks.

Chapter: 3I went up to the second floor and sat on one of the puffs there, probably orange, since I was not very aware of what was going on around me. Only that amount of alcohol was enough to get me ready for the night; I was terrible at drinking and anything went down like a bucket of water.A few meters away from me, they were having a shots competition and there were two men, each at one end of the table. There was the blond guy that I recognized, he was the famous Matt, quarterback of the soccer team and in front of him there was another one that caught my attention; his hair was in gray tones, almost black and his eyes were also black. His hair wasn't long enough to cover his eyebrows, but the furtive look he was sending to the green-eyed guy froze me in place.I'd never seen him around college before, if I had, I probably would have remembered him. Besides the fact that he was good at remembering faces, he had a look that could leave you in your place and that strange gleam in his eyes m

Chapter: 2"Amy!" someone shouted, after the door burst open and the sound of wood impacting the loud wall startled me."Good grief," I turned around, after throwing all my books on the floor, why my hands were more concerned about protecting me from the crazy person who came like a deranged person into the room, "Lucas Fowler, damn it, you scared me half to death!"I complained angrily to my friend, who came in surprise to the place where I was; I slipped into an empty room to organize my books, since I had just been able to buy them when the bank released the money that I had stupidly established to buy my supplies for the next semester.I never imagined that in less than a week I was going to end up in economic disgrace because the second person I gave to survive had been vetoed from the only job she knew how to do and now she could not get a job, because she was already too old.I had to spend the money for my supplies and books needed for my careers, to at least survive for a season with uti
