Brielle's POV

I screamed.

That’s all I remember doing for the first few seconds. Just this loud, animal sound that echoed off the damp brick walls.

My whole body was ready for him to grab me, ready to kick and bite and use my nails. I didn’t care if I got caught; I just cared that he didn't take the documents, and he didn’t find out about the baby.

The man in the overcoat—Axel’s guy, I was completely sure—took another slow step. His face was still blank, completely without human emotion, and

  • After He Took It All   The Hunted Becomes The Hunter

    Brielle’s POVBy morning, I was already in the west tower office.Richter stood across from my desk, his tablet in his hands, reading the recent security reports.Axel on the other hand, leaned against the bookshelf, arms crossed, watching me the way he always did when he knew I was up to something—both good and bad.“Say it,” he finally broke the silence, eyes directed at me.I looked to the side with a frown, “You don’t want me to.”“I want to hear it.” He insisted.I simply folded my hands on the desk.“If the energy tech is worthless without me,” I explained, as calmly as possible too, “then its value lies in exclusivity.”Richter’s gaze sharpened at my words, and his eyes lifted to my direction.“And?” he prompted.“And exclusivity only exists when access itself is restricted.”Axel straightened up immediately and turned to me sharply, “Brielle.”“If I remove exclusivity,” I continued, ignoring the warning in his tone, “I remove leverage.”Silence filled the office for a moment a

  • After He Took It All   The Tattoo Secret

    Axel’s POVI couldn't sleep that night. Not after what I’d just seen.Turning to the side, I stared at the figure next to me. Brielle. She had her back to my chest, breathing calmly like what we discovered wasn't a big deal.But I knew her a little too well.I knew her well enough to know when she was asleep and thinking her pretty head out.And right now? She was thinking her pretty head out.I laid frozen, unsure whether to get her attention, or just let her think through everything, because apparently, whenever she pulled these thinking caps strategies easily fall into place.But that didn't shut out the ringing in my ears—reminding me how awfully quiet the castle was now.That didn't stop my brain from running over the analysis of this place over and over, and over again.Security rotations around all axes have been doubled, together with thermal scans that momentarily sweep through the premises every now and then.I even went as far as having the twins’ wing sealed behind biomet

  • After He Took It All   The Ghost Of A Mother

    Brielle’s POVThey say the eyes are windows to the soul.But what happens when you’re looking into a mirror that shouldn’t exist?Standing in the Bayerischer Hof ballroom, surrounded by the scent of expensive champagne and the hum of Munich’s elite, the world felt like it was tilting on its axis. The chandeliers above us sparkled with a million different lights, but all I could see were those eyes.Eyes that looked like mine.Eyes that looked like hers.Seraphina Laurent.The name sounded....I don't know, surreal, maybe? But the presence she carried was pure steel. She stood there with a smile that didn't reach her pupils, watching me like a scientist would watch a particularly interesting specimen under a microscope. I felt Axel’s grip on my hand tighten but even his warmth couldn't stop the cold from seeping into my marrow.My mother is dead, I’d said. It was a fact. A pillar of my existence.Yes, she said softly. She is.I didn't blink. I couldn't. If I blinked, the reality of thi

  • After He Took It All   The Munich Sanctuary

    Axel’s POVThere were moments where everything all narrowed down to just one event.Not fade out of sight per say—but appear bigger.Until the only thing left in your line of sight was what mattered most.For me, it was two small hands gripping my suit jacket from the sides.Two identical pairs of eyes staring up at me, unaware that they had just become targets in some bloody inheritance war.So, with everything revealed now….As much as I didn't want to accept it—to face it….one thing stood out the most now.They were coming for the twins next.Henri’s words didn’t just pinch at my soft side. If anything, it did something even worse.It brought out the beast behind the sheltered walls I'd put all around me for years.It brought out my beast.And did I try to stop it?No, not this time. Not when everything was on the line now.So, I made my move now.By the time we left the hospital, I'd made three encrypted calls across my centers.But that wasn't all.When we also reached the tempor

  • After He Took It All   Henri’s Warning

    Brielle’s POVThe flight back to Germany felt shorter and more tense than the last time.Or maybe I just didn’t feel time moving like it normally did anymore.Luca was asleep against my chest, his breath warm through my sweater. Leo sat beside Axel, unusually quiet, staring out the window like he was aware of everything going on.Sometimes, I wonder if he really did, but then again, I wouldn't want to drag my kids into this cruel reality.They were just kids after all.As for Axel? He still hasn't let go of my hands ever since we boarded.I mean, I didn't blame him.We barely recovered from whatever the heck that was with his father.I closed my eyes briefly to the private jet humming in a firm rhythm beneath us as it slid through the clouds towards Munich. Richter had arranged everything within minutes of the hospital’s call. Of course he had. Because If there was one man who was prepared in the face of any emergencies, it was him.Heck, I haven't even been back to Germany in mont

  • After He Took It All   The Dust Settles

    Brielle’s POV“Brielle!”I didn’t think.What the heck was there to think about?I was doomed.I turned without hesitation, watching as my world tilted around me.But to my surprise, a shadow swallowed the ceiling light above me, and then Axel was there—his body slamming into mine, arms wrapping around my waist with enough force to bruise me away into safety.The pillar hit where I had been standing.The sounds that followed after were almost deafening and terrifying.It was a collapse.Stones exploded against the floor. The impact knocked the air from my lungs as we hit the ground and slid across the debris.For half a second, everything went hot-white from the pain.Then sounds came back all at once to my ears, painfully, might I add.The sound of metals tearing against each other.Concrete splitting across corners.The sea roaring somewhere beyond the walls, like it wasn't far away from the hall we'd found ourselves in.The entire bunker groaned like something heavy was moving acro
