Brielle’s POV

The ride back home felt longer than it should have.

Axel didn’t say much after the call. He just drove—fast, reckless, cutting through the narrow jungle roads like the car had some mysterious flying engine that could activate any minute from now.

Sadly, that technology didn't exist. Yet.

Alexei sat in the back, unusually quiet for once.

And me?

I couldn’t stop hearing the nanny's words ringing at the back of my head. My fingers tightened unconsciously against my lap.

  • After He Took It All   The Evolution

    Brielle’s POVThe ride back home felt longer than it should have.Axel didn’t say much after the call. He just drove—fast, reckless, cutting through the narrow jungle roads like the car had some mysterious flying engine that could activate any minute from now.Sadly, that technology didn't exist. Yet.Alexei sat in the back, unusually quiet for once.And me?I couldn’t stop hearing the nanny's words ringing at the back of my head. My fingers tightened unconsciously against my lap.“They’re fine,” Axel muttered suddenly, like he was trying to convince himself more than me. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he choked out yet again, “They’re fine. It’s probably just—lighting. Kids do weird things.”I didn’t answer. Because deep down, we both knew that was far from the truth.The moment I placed my hand into that scanner to clear my head… something weird happened.I felt it. Not just pain.Something else. An energy that didn’t belong to me alone—someone else was activated.“Fa

  • After He Took It All   The Blue Eyed Disaster

    Axel’s POV“Move!”I didn’t remember saying it. Didn’t remember making the decisions here—all I remembered in that moment was the adrenaline pumping through my veins.But suddenly, I was the one moving—with Brielle in my arms, her weight barely noticeable as my grip tightened more around her hips, afraid that I would lose her through all these.Again.“Left—take the left corridor! Now!” Alexei’s voice cut through the ringing in my ears, snapping my head towards his wide-eyed figure.I didn’t think to argue with him at that moment. Heck, I didn't even think.I just ran.The countdown was still burning loudly like a buzzer into my skull, a reminder that death was only an explosion away from us.02:31Shit, this was moving way too fast. Everything was moving too damn fast.The corridor lights flickered continuously overhead, casting sharp, flickering shadows across the walls as the system around us began to malfunction. A low, mechanical groan suddenly echoed through the structure—a low

  • After He Took It All   Did He Just Betray Us?

    Brielle’s POVEverything went quiet immediately after the authorization was completed.Heavy, with a laced suffocating tension as my body slowly felt weightless—and at the same time, unbearably heavy.Pain still bore through my veins like thousands of needles, my hand trembling uncontrollably as Axel held me against him. His voice sounded distant, like I was hearing him underwater.“What happened to her?”I wanted to answer.I wanted to tell him I was fine. But my lips barely even moved.“System shock,” the chairman said somewhere behind us. “Her body just went through forced extraction and neural synchronization. It’s…expected.”Expected?I would’ve laughed if I had the strength.Axel tightened his grip on me, his hand pressing against the back of my head like he was trying to shield me from everything—including my own self.“Fix it,” he snapped.“There’s nothing to fix,” the chairman replied. “She needs time.”Time.But we didn’t have time.After what felt like an hour, my eyes fina

  • After He Took It All   Authorisation Complete

    Axel’s POV“Perimeter sensors start about thirty meters out,” my father muttered under his breath, crouching slightly as he studied the ground ahead. “Thermal grids are layered over motion detection.”Alexei leaned in beside me. “And…what does that mean?”“Don’t breathe too hard in this place,” I said flatly.“Ah,” he nodded. “Excellent. My specialty.”Brielle didn’t look back at either of us. Her eyes were locked on the pyramid, her glance sharp and focused, as if waiting for something out of the ordinary to move.“Path?” she asked.My father pointed towards a barely visible dip in the terrain, the bob in the throat moving as he didn't look away, “There. The blind spot. Twelve-second window between sweeps.”“Twelve?” Alexei repeated. “Generous.”“It used to be eight.” He confessed.“That does not help.” He frowned.I ignored them, and focused on the situation. “On my mark,” I said under my breath, in hopes of calming every aching nerves.Get set.I nodded to their waiting faces and i

  • After He Took It All   Bring Everything Down

    Brielle’s POVThe jungle might have been the worst suggestion I'd come up with…The moment our boots hit the ground, the smell of rain and rot wrapped tightly around my throat. It was thick, and worse, suffocating as every breath felt heavier than the last.I didn’t like it.Not because it was nature. But because something else was unnatural about this place, I just couldn't figure it out yet.“Remind me,” Alexei muttered behind me, swatting at something invisible near his neck, “why we couldn’t just bomb this place from orbit?”“Because we need the core intact long enough to shut it down,” I replied without looking back.“And because you’d probably miss,” Axel added flatly.“I do not miss,” Alexei gave a dramatic scoff and glared at Axel for explanation, but I simply ignored them.Because ahead of us, the chairman was slowing down yet again.His movements were far from steady—and looked too careful in the first three steps, then too rushed in others that came after. The bandages arou

  • After He Took It All   The Suicide Mission Is A Go

    Alexei’s POVI knew something was wrong the second Axel called.Not because of what he was eventually going to say. Oh no no no! It was always about the parts he always wasn't going to say.Axel was not a man who randomly chose to call at two in the morning. And when he did, it always meant one thing—and one thing alone.“Get here. Now.”“Good morning to you, Axel.” But the line was already disconnected before I questioned anything further.So naturally, with a long deep breath of regrets and worry, I arrived armed.Not with guns. Oh, no no—you see, that wasn't my style at all. Instead, I came armed with vodka. I stepped into the house twenty minutes later, shrugging snow off my coat as the door closed behind me.“Alright,” I said casually, letting out an exhale as I stared down at my floor, braced up for the news. “Who died?”But when no one laughed or bothered to welcome me sarcastically like they'd always done, that was already the first warning bell going off in my head.But unf
