ARIA'S POV

Someone out there had already chosen sides.

My father took the paper from me slowly, his expression tightening as he folded it again.

“This is intimidation,” he said firmly, though there was a tension in his voice that hadn’t been there before. “Criminals like to play psychological games.”

Luca didn’t immediately respond.

Instead, he pushed himself away from the wall and studied my father with quiet patience, as though carefully measuring the weight of his next words.

    THE MAINTENANCE SHAFTARIAThe tunnel was colder than I expected.Cold, narrow, and suffocating.The concrete walls seemed to close in around us as we moved through the darkness, guided only by emergency lights mounted along the passage. Water dripped steadily from somewhere overhead, each drop echoing through the confined space.Under different circumstances, the place would have felt abandoned.Tonight, it felt hunted.Marcus led the group from the front while two guards remained behind me and another two moved ahead, scanning every corner with weapons drawn.Nobody spoke much.Nobody needed to.The tension filling the tunnel was thick enough already.My mind kept replaying Viktor Sokolov's face.That smile.That certainty.The way he had spoken directly to me through the security cameras as though we were having a private conversation.As though he already owned the outcome.The memory sent a shiver down my spine.Marcus suddenly raised a hand.Everyone stopped.Immediately.The tu

    PERSONAL VENDETTA LUCALuca had spent years building a reputation that kept men like Sokolov cautious.Careful.Respectful.Tonight, Sokolov had ignored all of that.Which meant he either believed he had already won...Or he was desperate.Luca intended to find out which.His phone rang again.Marcus.This time it was a live call.Luca answered immediately."Report."Static crackled through the line.Then Marcus's voice."We've started moving.""Where are you?""Tunnel access.""Any contact?"A burst of gunfire echoed in the background.Marcus cursed."Yes."Luca's grip tightened around the phone."Status?""They found the entrance."For the first time all night, genuine concern pushed through his composure.The tunnel entrance wasn't visible from the main house.Finding it required knowledge.Specific knowledge.Which meant the leak went deeper than he'd feared.Much deeper."Can you hold them?""We'll try."Not good enough.Not nearly good enough.Luca looked toward the driver."Ho

    81THE STORM ARIAThe screen went black.For a moment, all I could hear was my own heartbeat.Then one of the guards spoke.Very quietly."He's close."Another burst of gunfire echoed somewhere beyond the reinforced walls.Closer than before.Much closer.Marcus immediately drew his weapon."Tunnel. Now."This time I didn't argue.Because for the first time since arriving at the estate, I understood something with absolute clarity.Viktor Sokolov wasn't searching for me anymore.He had already found me.And somewhere out in the storm, racing back toward the estate, Luca was driving straight into the trap Sokolov had spent weeks building.LUCAThe call came three minutes outside the city.Three minutes from believing the worst of the night was behind him.Three minutes from making the mistake Viktor Sokolov had been counting on.The secure line rang once.Dominic answered it from the front passenger seat.Luca immediately knew something was wrong.The color drained from Dominic's face

    80MAN WHO WALKED INARIA"How?" I whispered.Marcus looked as disturbed as I felt."Inside information."The answer hit like a punch.Someone had betrayed Luca.Someone close enough to know the estate's layout.The thought made my skin crawl.Sokolov reached out and touched the frame lightly.Not opening it.Not yet.Just confirming it was there.Confirming what he already knew.Then he continued walking.Like a man following a map.A very accurate map.One of the guards grabbed his radio."We need to move her."Marcus nodded immediately."Agreed."My head snapped toward him."What?""If he knows the internal security systems, this room may already be compromised."The words made my pulse spike."This room is supposed to be the safest place in the house.""It was."The distinction was terrifying.Was.Marcus pointed toward another section of the room."There are emergency tunnels."Of course there were.Because apparently Luca built his homes the way medieval kings built castles.One

    79HE'S INSIDEARIAFor the first time since leaving my room, I felt slightly safer.Only slightly.One of the guards immediately moved to the monitors."Pulling external feeds."Several screens flickered to life.Camera angles from throughout the estate appeared.My stomach dropped.The fighting was worse than I imagined.On one screen, guards exchanged gunfire in the lower hall.On another, two intruders moved through a service corridor.A third camera showed shattered glass and overturned furniture in what looked like one of the sitting rooms.The estate had become a war zone."How many got inside?" I asked.Nobody answered immediately.Finally Marcus spoke."Too many."The room fell silent again.Everyone focused on the screens.Watching.Waiting.Praying the defenses would hold.Then one of the monitors changed.A new feed appeared.The front entrance.My pulse quickened.A dark figure stepped through the main doors.Tall.Calm.Unhurried.Unlike the others, this man wasn't runni

    78THE SAFE ROOMARIAThe first thing I noticed was how fast everyone moved.There was no confusion.No panic.No shouting.The moment the gunfire echoed through the estate, every guard in the hallway seemed to switch into a different version of themselves. Their movements became sharper, more deliberate, as though they had rehearsed this exact scenario dozens of times.Maybe they had.Marcus placed himself slightly in front of me."Stay between us."I nodded.My throat had gone dry.Another burst of gunfire echoed from somewhere below.The sound reverberated through the walls of the house, making my pulse spike again.The intruders were inside.Actually inside.Not at the gates.Not outside the perimeter.Inside.The realization felt surreal.Yesterday, this house had seemed untouchable.Now it felt like a battlefield.Marcus touched the radio clipped to his shoulder."Status."Static crackled.Then a voice answered."North corridor compromised. Two hostiles confirmed."Another voice
