HE’S WATCHING

{NAIROBI, KENYA}

The phone buzzed against the mahogany desk, rattling next to a half-empty glass of whiskey. Tyson snatched it up, already scowling.

“Well?” he barked.

Static crackled before one of his men’s voices came through, low and hesitant.

“Boss… we—we had her. We followed her and the man, but…” A pause. “…it wasn’t safe to strike. He fought like a soldier last night. If we’d gone in again, we wouldn’t have walked out alive.”

Tyson slammed his glass down so hard amber liquid splashed over his hand. “I didn’t ask you to walk out. I asked you to bring her to me!” His voice echoed off the walls of his Nairobi apartment, venom thick in every word.

The man on the other end stammered, “It’s not just that, boss. We know who the man is now. Javyn Andrew.”

The name hit Tyson like a punch to the gut. His grip on the phone tightened. “What did you just say?”

“Javyn Andrew.”

“The billionaire who—who exposed Grant, got him deported. That’s who’s protecting her? How could you a

    REBELLIONJada lingered by the edge of the couch, watching her mother closely. The way Celia smoothed her hair, the way her fingers wouldn’t leave the phone, it all screamed of something slipping.“Mother…” Jada said slowly, her words tasting like rebellion on her tongue. “For someone who claims to be in control of everything, you don’t seem very… in control right now.”The remark hung in the air, sharp and dangerous.Celia’s eyes snapped to her daughter, the mask of composure freezing into place. But Jada didn’t back down—she tilted her chin, waiting for an answer, watching every flicker across her mother’s face.Before Celia could strike back, her gaze slid past Jada. On the staircase landing, Mia was caught mid-step, tray in hand, eyes a little too wide.The silence stretched for a beat. Then, Celia’s voice cut through like glass.“Mia.”The maid stiffened. “Yes, Ma’am?”“Pack our bags. We’re leaving for Los Angeles.”Jada’s head whipped around. “LA? You mean…”“No questions,” Cel

    THE SECRECYMia lingered in the hallway, her heart thrumming as she gripped the folded piece of paper tighter—the one she had found tucked in Celia’s cabinet, detailing the prescriptions and notes that made no sense for someone with her “condition.” She had replayed the discovery a hundred times since, each time circling back to the same conclusion: Celia wasn’t sick. At least not the way she let Jada believe.Through the open door, she watched Jada sitting cross-legged on the rug, a half-finished sketchbook propped on her lap. There was a softness in her face Mia hadn’t seen in years, something almost childlike in the way she hummed under her breath, speaking fondly about how “mom was finally letting her in.”Mia’s chest tightened. Jada had grown attached again, drinking in every drop of Celia’s affection like a flower desperate for rain. If she said something now—if she shattered this fragile peace with the truth—would Jada ever forgive her?She stepped forward anyway, her throat

    L.A. LANDINGZayn finally slowed the car after what felt like an eternity of speeding through the dark. The tires crunched over gravel as he pulled off the road into a clearing sheltered by tall eucalyptus trees. The engine ticked as it cooled, the air thick with the smell of burnt rubber and dust.For a moment, no one moved. The silence was deafening, broken only by Savannah’s ragged breathing.Then Javyn gently eased her back so he could see her face. Tears streaked her cheeks, her eyes wide and glassy. He brushed a trembling thumb across her skin, whispering, “It’s over. For now, it’s over.”Savannah’s lips quivered. “Javyn, if that car had pushed us any harder—” Her voice cracked, and she folded into his chest, clutching at him with a desperation that stabbed through his heart.“I know,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around her and pressing his lips to her hair. “But it didn’t. You’re here. Both of you are here.” He laid a hand over her stomach, steady, grounding.Zayn stepped ou

    LOST THEMThe car’s headlights cut through the countryside darkness, throwing fleeting shapes across the road. Savannah sat stiffly in the backseat, her fingers tangled tightly with Javyn’s, the knitted blanket from Mrs. Kent draped over her lap like armor.Zayn was behind the wheel, eyes flicking from mirror to mirror with a sharpness Savannah had never noticed in him before. He wasn’t just driving—he was calculating.Every bend in the road felt as though it were being watched. Every pair of headlights in the distance seemed to linger too long. The hum of the tires against the gravel only amplified the silence.Savannah turned her head just enough to whisper, “Javyn… are we being followed?”Javyn’s hand tightened around hers, his other hand brushing lightly over her stomach in reassurance. He didn’t answer right away. Instead, his gaze lifted to the rearview mirror, meeting Zayn’s eyes. Zayn’s jaw flexed, the unspoken answer loud enough.“Keep driving,” Javyn said finally, his voice

    CHAOTIC{NAIROBI, KENYA}Daniel stood in the kitchen long after Chiri’s voice had faded from the line, the city’s silence pressing on him like a warning. He couldn’t shake the image of Tyson’s men lurking in the dark, closing in with every misstep.He pulled out his other phone—the one Chiri didn’t know about—and scrolled to the contact he reserved for nights like this. Kyle. Trusted, sharp, and loyal enough to ask no questions.When the call connected, Daniel’s voice was clipped and low. “I need eyes on her. Starting tomorrow. Discreet. No mistakes.”Kyle hesitated. “Chiri?”“Yes,” Daniel snapped, then softened his tone. “She doesn’t know. And she can’t. You’ll coordinate shifts with the team you built for the Grant investigation. Quiet cars, unmarked faces. Anyone slips, it’s not her they’ll take—it’s me.”“Understood,” Kyle replied.Daniel hung up, his chest tight. He poured himself a glass of water, staring at his reflection in the window—the polished editor-in-chief of a major
