Brielle's POV

I didn't think I could be more pissed off tonight. I’d just signed a "friendship contract" with a man who thinks life is a musical, and my husband—contract husband, whatever—was staring at me like he wanted to either scream or kiss me, and I wasn't ready for either.

But then Alexei, the king of dramatic exits, came back from the bathroom looking like he’d crawled through a sewer and dragged a half-dead rat in with him.

Except the rat was Sophia.

  • 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

  • After He Took It All   The Final Stand

    Axel’s POVThe sound of the helicopter blades faded into the distance.A sound that reassured me of their safety.Of their whereabouts.Which was enough for me to feel something inside my chest unclench for the first time since I saw that empty crib.Knowing that they were finally safe with us.That Alexei had them up there.God help me, the only person reckless and soft-hearted enough to throw chili powder at armed men and still apologize about it later.Good.Let him cook.Because I was done pretending to be civilized.My eyes and lungs still burned from the smoke of the aftermath, but none of that compared to what was coming for him.I turned back slowly.My father stood a few feet away, wiping at his eyes with a handkerchief like this had been a minor inconvenience at brunch.His security detail was coughing, disoriented. Some were still down on one knee, blinking through tears.Brielle didn’t hesitate—yes, she came with me too.We couldn't let him go scot-free after all. Knowing

  • After He Took It All   The Unlikely Savior

    Alexei’s POVOkay.In my defense, I didn’t plan for it to look this dramatic.The helicopter part? Yes. That was intentional.The rest?Improvised brilliance.I had exactly twelve minutes between the last call with Brielle’s legal team and realizing that if I didn’t physically show up, someone in that nightmare of a cliff was going to die.Probably multiple people.So I did what any reasonable, non-violent, academically distinguished genius would do.I emptied my pantry.The helicopter blades roared over the estate, loud enough to rattle my clenched teeth. The pilot kept yelling something about crosswinds and clearance, but I was too busy clutching my backpack for my dear life.I never loved helicopters.Gosh, the things you did for your friends.Below, through the open side door, I saw what remained of the gates, courtyard, and er… let's just say….I wasn't too thrilled anymore. Something in my gut told me it had nothing to do with Axel.Axel meant dead bodies laying around.Not li
