Natalie had been standing by the door for nearly five minutes, watching me gather the documents I needed for the reception."I'll be down shortly.""You said that five minutes ago."I ignored her remark and slipped the documents into my briefcase.The call with the governor had gone worse than expected. Two days had passed since our last discussion, and I had very little to show for the time he had given me. Andrei's investigation had uncovered another dead end, while the information we had on Fabrizio's movements remained frustratingly incomplete.Two weeks had seemed generous when I made the promise. It was beginning to feel considerably shorter.My right eye throbbed. I reached for the medication beside my laptop, swallowed it and closed the case.Natalie was still watching me. "Are you sure you're all right?""Why wouldn't I be?""I don't know. You've been glar

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈"What's the occasion?"I glanced at Sophie. "What?"She tilted her head towards the girls standing near the classroom entrance. "Apparently, something interesting is happening, and nobody bothered to invite us."I frowned, adjusting the contents of my bag. "What are you talking about?""Look around, Natalie."I finally raised my head. A few girls were whispering among themselves, occasionally glancing in our direction. I barely paid attention until we walked further down the corridor and noticed more groups doing the same thing.Then I followed their gaze.And stopped.Leonardo was leaning against his car, one leg crossed casually over the other. One hand rested in his pocket while the other scrolled through his phone. His sunglasses concealed his eyes, and his dark outfit looked almost effortlessly put together.For a moment, I forgot where I was.I had seen him dressed impeccably countless times, but there was something

┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Leonardo ┈◆┈┈◇┈┈•⊰⊱•┈◆┈◇┈┈ Andrei closed the office door behind him. "Sebastian has handed the documents to the government." My phone rang before I could respond. The governor's name appeared on the screen. "Leonardo," he greeted when I answered. "I assume you've heard about the documents Sebastian submitted." "I have." "The search team is taking the report seriously. They're examining the records and may decide to expand their investigation." "Then we need to prevent that from happening." "That's easier said than done. I can't simply order them to abandon an investigation." "I didn't ask you to." There was a brief silence. "I need you to find a way to redirect their attention and prevent this from escalating publicly while I deal with the source of the problem."

☠︎︎━━━━━⚔︎━━━━━━☠︎︎ Told From Afar ☠︎︎━━━━━⚔︎━━━━━━☠︎︎ The report lay open on Sebastian's desk. Another government search. Another club sealed off. Two of his establishments had been raided within days, their operations suspended while investigators searched for evidence connecting them to the distribution of Oblivion. He tossed the report aside. This was never how things were supposed to go. He had wanted Leonardo Moretti exposed. He hadn't expected the investigation to reach his own businesses. Now his clubs were making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and every attempt to contain the situation seemed to make it worse. Somehow, everything involving Leonardo always ended in ruins. Sebastian leaned back, dragging a hand across his face. It was always Leonardo. Even before Oblivion, before the clubs, before any of this, there had been Silvia. He could still remember returning to the country and being told she was dead. He had barely settled in when the

His expression was unusually calm."You're still working?" he asked.I glanced at the documents spread across my desk. "You came here to discuss my schedule?""No." He placed the folder in front of me. "I came to discuss the investigation."I leaned back in my chair. "Go on."He hesitated for a moment before speaking."The three employees we suspected of leaking information are innocent."I looked at him. "All three?""Yes. I've gone through their records again, including their communications and movements during the periods when the information was accessed. None of them initiated contact with our competitors or passed anything directly to anyone outside the organization.""Then why were their names connected to the incidents?""Because someone wanted us looking at them."

❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈ Natalie ❈─────≪ °❀° ≫─────❈By the time I arrived at the university, I had already received three messages from Sophie.The first asked whether I was coming to class.The second asked whether Leonardo was dropping me off.The third was simply a string of question marks.Me: I'm already here.Her reply came almost immediately.Sophie: Without Leonardo? Disappointing.I shook my head, slipping my phone into my bag.I had barely reached the lecture hall when I heard her voice.“Natalie!”Sophie hurried toward me, holding a takeaway coffee in one hand and her phone in the other.“Good morning,” I said.“Is it?”I glanced at her. “What's wrong?”“Nothing. I just had to wake up early, and I haven't recovered.”“You're the one who sent me three messages before eight.”“Because you weren't answering.”“I was getting ready.”“Exactly. You could have been getting ready while answering me.”I laughed, and she looked pleased with herself.We entered the lecture
