A thin veil of light slipped across the horizon, brushing the world in pale gold. Smokw still lingered from the distant fires, curling into the sky like the last sighs of a nightmare. But beneath it all was something new soft, fragile, and alive.

Jessica stirred against Romeo's shoulder, the scent of ash and earth mixing with the faint promise of morning dew. For a long time, she didn't move. The simple rhythm of his breathing, steady and real, was enough to remind her that they'd made it through another night.

When she finally opened her eyes, the camp around them had changed. The survivors had started early voices murmured, hammers tapping against broken walls, and somewhere nearby, someone was laughing. Laughing.

    The night was quiet too queit. The kind of silence that carried weight, the kind that came after chaos had burnt itself out and left nothing but truth in it's ashes. The moonlight filtered through the thin canvas of the tent, painting soft silver over Jessica's face as she sat beside Romeo, her head bowed, her fingers nervously tracing invisible patterns on his palm.Romeo didn't speak. He just watched her watched the woman who had once been fire and thunder, now trembling benath the fragile calm of a world finally at peace. The wind rustled outside, brushing against the tent's fabric like a whisper urging them to say what had long been unsaid."You ever think about how we ended up here?" Jessica finally asked, her voice small, hesitant. Romeo chuckled softly, though there was no humor in it. "Every day", he said. "But if you're asking whether I'd change any of it... i don't think i would".She lifted her gaze to him, startled. "Even with everything we lo

  • 365 Days With My Fake Husband    Rebuilding the Ruins

    The world after the war didn't look like it had before but maybe that was the point. The once-bustling city was quieter now, the sound of construction replacing the echo of gunfire. Streets once lined with broken glass now held new beginnings fresh paint, open doors, and laughter that still felt strange, fragile, and holy. Jessica stood on what used to be the heart of their battlefield. The old train station where they'd once hidden from death was now a gathering place for survivors. Tables were lined with tools, makeshift plans for rebuilding neighborhoods spread out on crates, and in the corner, someone had even planted a small garden that stubbornly bloomed despite the cracked concrete beneath it. Romeo approached from behind her, his hands still marked with dust and grease from fixing a broken generator. His voice was rough but steady. "Two weeks, and we already have running water again. Not bad for people who almost lost everything".

    The world outside was quiet again but only in the way a battlefield falls silent after the final shot. Beneath that stillness, something was shifting. The air was thick with smoke and new beginnings, the kind that came only after blood had been spilled and truths had been unearthed.Jessica stood before the shattered window of the safehouse they had turned into their final base. Her reflection stared back eyes weary, heart bruised, but alive. Behind her, the remnants of their equipment hummed faintly, monitors flashing with encrypted maps of the Syndicate's remaining networks. Romeo entered quietly, the collar of his dark jacket dusted with ash. "They're regrouping in the East", he said. "The last few members. They're trying to rebuild".Jessica turned, her lips curving into something that wasn't quite a smile. "Then we finish what we started. No rebuilding. No mercy".Romeo leaned against the wall, watching her. "You've changed", he said softly.

    The room was silent except for the faint hum of the rain outside. Jessica stood frozen, eyes fixed on the message pulsing across the screen.You thought the fire died. But some embers never fade. Romeo moved first, leaning over her shoulder, scanning the encryption signature. "It's not from any of our frequencies. Whoever sent this... they're using Syndicate-grade coding".Daniel frowned, pulling a tablet from the table. "That's impossible. The Syndicate's servers were vaporized in the blast. I watched the core melt"."Then someone rebuilt", Jessica said quietly.She turned toward them, her face lit by the flickering blue glow of the monitor. The firelight from the ruins outside danced in her eyes but it wasn't fear that burned there anymore. It was the same cold, relentless determination that had carried her through every battle."Trace it", she ordered. Daniel's fingers flew over the keys. "Trying. The signal's

    The city had begun to breath again. Days had passed since the Syndicate's fall, but the smoke still lingered like the ghost of every battle fought beneath it's shadow. Streets once soaked in blood were now being scrubbed clean, glass replaced, walls patched. Life, cautious and fragile, was returning. Jessica stood by the window of the temporary safehouse an apartment overlooking the ruins. Below, workers and volunteers moved like ants, rebuilding what the war had tried to erase. The silence felt unnatural after years of gunfire and sirens.Her reflection stared back at her in the glass tired glass, lips pressed in thought, bandages around her arms. The kind of look that didn't belong to the same woman who once fought through fire and betrayal.Romeo entered quietly, his shoulder still bandaged. He carried two mugs of coffee, the faint aroma of something almost normal cutting through the metalic scent of ash that clung to everything.
