Jessica had nicely barely gotten Romeo to rest after the gala before Juliet showed up at the penthouse the next morning again. This time, her expression was darker than usual.

"We've got a problem", She said , tossing a file into the kitchen counter.

Jessica's stomach flipped. "Another press leak?"

"Worse".

Romeo appeared behind her, still a grey robe, eyes tired. "What now?"

Juliet hesitated. "Godwin's team hired a private investigating".

Jessica's pulse sped up. She already didn't like where this was going.

"He's digging into Jessica's past".

Jessica's breath caught.

"My past?"

"He knows you weren't just some waitress. He found a file- your father's prison record, the school fights, the restraining order from your ex".

"Stop!" Jessica snapped, her voice breathing.

Romeo turned sharply to look at her, stunned.

"Is that true?" he asked.

Jessica clenched her fists. "It was years ago. I didn't think it mattered anymore".

"It matters now", Juliet said flatl

  • 365 Days With My Fake Husband    Ashes of Tomorrow

    The city was quiet for the first time in months. Not silent never silent but the chaos that had once ruled the skyline was gone. Smoke curled lazily from the ruins where the Syndicate's headquarters had stood, glowing faintly beneath the broken moonlight.Jessica stood at the edge of the bridge, the wind lifting her hair as dawn crept over the horizon. The air still carried the scent of gunpower and ash, but beneath it was something new hope, fragile and trembling, like the first beneath after drowning. Romeo joined her, limping slightly, his arm bandaged. He didn't say anything at first. He didn't have to. The suprise painted faces in gold, and for once, they both let themselves breath."It's strange", he murmured, watching the light spill across the river. "We fought for this moment for so long... and now that it's here, I don't even know what to feel".Jessica's lips curved faintly, the kind of smile that came for exhaustion rather than joy.

    The city groaned beneath the weight of it's own destruction. Smoke coiled upward like dying prayers, wrapping the skyline in gray despair. Somewhere beneath it all beneath the chaos, the ruins, and the rain the Syndicate pulsed like a heartbeat of darkness. Jessica led by the way through the shattered streets, boots crunching over glass and ash. Every corner whispered danger. Every shadow carried memory. Romeo and Daniel moved in sync behind her, weapons drawn, eyes sharp.The storm hadn't stopped since the first explosion it only grew louder, angrier, as if sky itself wanted vengeance. "Signal's strong", Daniel muttered, glancing at the handheld tracker. "We're close. Less than half a mile underground".Jessica's eyes flicked toward the collapsed overpass ahead. "Then we go through".They descended into the old subway tunnels, air thick with dust and the metalic scent of brunt circuitry. Graffiti lined the walls remnants of a forgotten

    The night air trembled with the growl of engines. Floodlights cut through the mist, turning the ruined skyline into a battlefield of shadows and steel. From the rooftops, snipers took position their laser sights tracing silent promises of death.Jessica crouched behind a collapsed wall, scanning the streets below. Every instinct screamed that this wasn't just another ambush it was an extermination. "Phase Two", she whispered, voice laced with dread. "They're going all in". Romeo checked his weapon, his jaw tight. "Then so do we".The roar of a gunship echoed above them, shaking the ground as spotlights swept across the debris. Through the static of their comms, a familiar voice crackled. "Targets located. Eliminate without delay".Jessica's blood ran cold. That voice... it was the same operative who had betrayed them back at the safehouse. The same one who had almost killed her. She glanced

    The morning after the explosion came in fragments smoke still lingering in the air, a faint metalic scent of burned steel carried by the wind. Jessica stood on the rooftop of the abandoned factory they'd turned into a temporary base. The city below still buzzed with sirens, chaos, and speculation. News drones zipped overhead, broadcasting flames and broken streets. They had struck a nerve. And now, the Syndicate would srike back. Romeo walked up behind her, the faint limp from last night's blast barely hidden. "We don't have long", he said queitly, his voice steady but taut with exhaustion. "Reports say the Syndicate's already regrouping. They lost suppiles, not soldiers". Jessica didn't look away from the skyline. "Then we hit them again. Harder this time". Michael appeared at the doorway, tapping at a glowing tablet filled with surveillance data. "I intercepted one of their encrypted transmissions", he said. "Th

    The night pressed away against the windows of the safehouse. A storm was coming not just in the skies, but within every soul gathered inside. Jessica stood near the window, her reflection a blur in the glass. Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped the frame. Behind her, Romeo and Michael argued in hushed but sharp tones. "She's not ready", Romeo snapped. "We push now, and we lose everything we've built".Michael's voice was colder. "You mean everything you're afraid to lose. She deserves the truth, even if it breaks her".Jessica turned slowly. "Then say it", she said. "Both of you. Stop fighting around me and start fighting with me".The room feel silent except for the thunder rolling in the distance.Michael's eyes met hers haunted, unyielding. "The Syndicate doesn't just want you for what you know, Jessica. They want you because you're the key".She blinked, confusion flickering across the face. "Key to what?"Ro

  • 365 Days With My Fake Husband    The Hidden File

    The train tunnels beneath the city smelled of rust and old rain.Drops of water fell from the cracked ceiling, echoing softly in the silence between them.Jessica sat on the cold ground, arms wrapped around her knees, while Romeo checked the entrance again for movement. Michael crouched near a broken console, the glow of his tablet casting pale light across his face.They hadn't spoken in hours. The adrenaline had worn off, leaving only exhaustion and the unspoken question that hung heavy between them.Finally, Jessica broke the silence."Michael", she whispered, her voice trembling, "what did Daniel mean? Why would he say I'm the reason this started?"Michael didn't look up. His jaw flexed, the muscle twitching like he was fighting with himself. "Because", he said finally, "he's not entirely wrong".Romeo turned sharply. "You want to explain that?"Michael exhaled slowly, as if the weight of the truth had been
