Chapter: Chapter 82- Hatch it!MTP ArenaQye stood in MetroPaul’s private study, the phone dancing in her hand as his voice crackled with cold, aristocratic disappointment.“What’s going on, Qye? Why is Nepher still up and cocky on my neck and why is Khaid still clad up in a suit everyday like his life is not falling apart.” Metropaul’s voice was like dry parchment. “Except you're doing a bad job at it.”Qye’s knuckles were white, her jaw locked so tight it ached. Inwardly, she was a screaming furnace of rage, but her voice came out like silk. “I understand, Metropaul. My apologies. I’m working towards it.”“Working towards it? I think I expected so much from you. Specter said you were his best”“I am” she said, gritting her teeth.“I doubt that” Metropaul scoffed. The smoke from the gigantic pipe in between his lips curled up like a sultry stripper into the air. “So, this girl hasn't gotten hit yet? How protected can she be?”“About that. I have information you might be interested in” She brought out her phone an

Chapter: Chapter 81-The TrainingKHAID'S RESIDENCE The morning sun didn't bring warmth. It brought a cold, clinical light that sliced through the heavy curtains of the lighted room. When Satera Bluey's eyes fluttered open, the first thing she saw wasn't Khaid’s face, but a stark white note resting on the nightstand.Meet me at the North Perimeter training field. 07:00 sharp.— K.Beside the note lay a set of charcoal-grey gym wear. The fabric was sleek, reinforced at the joints, and smelled faintly of newness. Confused and still feeling the ghostly weight of yesterday’s grief, she freshened up and pulled the suit on. It hugged her frame like a second skin, making her feel exposed in a way she couldn't quite name.“Do I even know where the north perimeter training field is?” She soliloquized as she stepped out of the room. She stepped out toward the North Perimeter, and the sheer, eerie vastness of the training grounds swallowed her whole.“A place like this exists in here?” She couldn't help the bulge in her eyes

Chapter: Chapter 80- ChemistryBluey woke up, dizzy. Her head was foggy from the event of the day. Slowly, she sat up on the bed but a new wave of headache hit her instantly. The ragged broken sound of grief filled the air. The sedation had worn off, leaving her raw, exposed, and drowning in the memory of her near -death experience that claimed another person’s life“Ahhhhh” she let out a long hiss. As if on cue, the door opened and Khaid entered into the room. “You’re awake” He asserted and moved closer to the bed to sit. “How are you feeling” he sat on the edge of the bed, his frame casting a long, protective shadow over her.Bluey looked at him and the event of the day started rushing into her head again and the tears started rushing in torrents again.“shhh” Khaid murmured, his voice a low vibrating hum against her temple. He pulled her into his laps, his large arms enveloping her completely. He was so big that she seemed to disappear against him like a small bird seeking shelter in the hollow of an oak tree.

Chapter: Chapter 79- Hide and Seek“Khaid, where are you heading to so quick? Have you seen your father?” Jane asked with a weak smile on her face. All the maids that were hovering over her have all left, leaving only her on the couch.Khaid sighed in frustration. He just wanted to walk out but he stayed out of curtesy and gave Jane a bored look. “Yes mother, I’ve seen him” then he proceeded to leave.“Stay for dinner, Nicholas.” She looked at him with a puppy eyes. “Please” she added quickly.“Why are you forcing this?” Khaid blurted.Jane sat up properly. Her brows raised and furrowed. “Forcing what?”“This!” Khaid gestured to the whole house. “This forced familiarity and warmth and affection out of nowhere. Why are you trying to be the best mother you were not 15 years ago?” he faced her squarely.“I …Khaid…I …” Jane stuttered helplessly as she tried to sit up properly.“I thought as much” Khaid shrugged nonchalantly and made to leave.“I’m sorry.” Jane stood up. Her legs shook badly and she quickly held the arm cha

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Duel of kingsAnna I stayed until Khaid’s breathing leveled out and the predator in his eyes retreated behind a layer of exhausted glass. We went together to the room Bluey was in. It was beside Khaid's room. She looked small, swallowed by the white linens of the oversized bed, her face pale and peaceful under the heavy veil of the sedation and weariness. She looks traumatized. A typical civilian's dilemma."I’m going home," I whispered, adjusting the blanket over her feet. "I'll be back in the morning to check on her."Khaid snorted, leaning against the doorframe with his bandaged hand tucked into his pocket. "Home? That boy is really building a nest for you, isn't he?"I rolled my eyes, grabbing my clutch. "You wish, Khaid. Don't project your domestic drama onto me."He escorted me down to the driveway, standing in the cool night air as I climbed back into the Lamborghini. He watched me with a strange expression—part envy, part warning. I knew what he was thinking. This Lamborghini of his was su

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-seven: The dateSaeat Five star restaurant Anna arrived forty minutes late. It was a deliberate strike aimed at Sage’s patience. She had spent the extra time in front of her mirror, not out of vanity, but out of a need to weaponize her appearance.She was dressed dangerously sexy in a backless, floor-length silk gown the color of spilled Burgundy that clung to her curves like a second skin. A high slit teased the line of her thigh with every step she took across the marble floor of the terrace. She looked less like a date and more like a beautiful catastrophe.As she reached the table, she didn't apologize. She just slid into the chair, her eyes defiant.Sage didn't look annoyed. In fact, he looked like a man who had just won the lottery. He stood up, his gaze sweeping over her with unapologetic admiration."You're late," he noted, his voice smooth and untroubled."I know," Anna replied, tilting her chin. "I'm sure you have better things to do than wait for a woman who clearly doesn't value your tim
