Chapter 116 — The Statement (Tristan/Löwe)

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 16.06.2026 00:58:26

The afternoon light in Paraty was different from any other I had ever seen.

It wasn’t the cold, gray light of Munich, nor the artificial light of the press studios where Cassius used to pose for photos. It was a golden, soft light that came from the sea and spread across the veranda like melted honey.

Aurora was by my side, arms crossed over her chest, eyes fixed on the horizon.

Her dark hair, now short, swayed with the breeze. She was pale — not from fear, but from exhaustion. The last few day

    The television was tuned to the news channel, as it had been for days. I couldn’t turn it off. I couldn’t stop watching.It was like watching an accident in slow motion, the kind of disaster you know is going to happen but can’t avoid.And there he was.Tristan.On the screen in the living room of my family’s country house, in a setting I didn’t recognize. He wore a simple white shirt, cuffs rolled up, hair combed back. He looked tired. He looked sincere. He looked exactly the opposite of what I knew he was.“Good afternoon,” he said, and his voice echoed in the empty room like a gunshot. “My name is Tristan Delyon.”My hands squeezed the remote so tightly that my knuckles turned white.Your name is a lie, I thought. Your life is a lie. Your face is a lie.I listened to every word. Every rehearsed pause. Every calculated sigh. The accusations about Aurora’s parents? “Fragile evidence.” The poisoning of his mother? “Absurd.” The disappearance? “Confidential army mission.”Confidential

    The afternoon light in Paraty was different from any other I had ever seen.It wasn’t the cold, gray light of Munich, nor the artificial light of the press studios where Cassius used to pose for photos. It was a golden, soft light that came from the sea and spread across the veranda like melted honey.Aurora was by my side, arms crossed over her chest, eyes fixed on the horizon.Her dark hair, now short, swayed with the breeze. She was pale — not from fear, but from exhaustion. The last few days had been a hurricane. The escapes, Raphaël’s rescue, Cassius’s capture.The hours in the hospital, waiting for news, waiting for the doctors to confirm what we already knew: Raphaël would live.Hours earlier, I had bleached my hair and dyed it back to its natural color. I needed to look normal, not like a fugitive.“Are you ready?” she asked, without turning her face.“No.” The answer was honest. “But I have no choice.”“There’s always a choice.”“Not this one. Not now.”She turned, finally, a

    I descended the embankment carefully, feet slipping on the loose dirt, hands steady on the pistol.The car was on its side, doors crushed, windows shattered. The smell of gasoline and blood filled the air, sweet and sour at the same time.The driver was partially outside the vehicle, body twisted in an angle no human being should occupy.His eyes were open, fixed on nothing.Dead.I walked past him without looking. I didn’t care.Cassius was in the back seat — or what remained of it. The dark suit was torn, stained with blood.His face was marked by cuts and bruises. One of his legs was trapped under the crushed metal, and he groaned — a low, hoarse sound from someone who was alive against all odds.“Tristan,” he whispered, eyes glazed with pain. “Help me.”“I will help.” I knelt beside him, pistol still in hand. “But first, I want to hear you beg.”“What?”“You spent your entire life taking. Killing. Destroying. Now I want to hear you beg.”Cassius’s face contorted — not from physica

    The motorcycle howled on the dark road like a hungry animal.Cassius’s sedan headlights danced ahead.The beast inside me wasn’t thinking. It wasn’t planning. It wasn’t hesitating. It was only hunting.I accelerated.The wind cut my face, eyes watering, hands firm on the handlebars.The motorcycle engine roared between my legs, pulsing in the same rhythm as my fury.The road was pitted, full of treacherous curves, flanked by dark embankments that dropped into nothingness.Cassius didn’t know that terrain. I did.I had studied every inch of those roads on the plane. Every bridge, every detour, every possible escape route.Mateo and Zahir had mapped the entire region, turning every kilometer into a calculated battlefield.I accelerated again. The sedan was less than five hundred meters away.“He’s trying to lose you on the next curve,” Zahir warned over the earpiece, voice calm, methodical. “The drone shows a fork ahead. The left road leads to the city. The right one, to nowhere.”“He’l

    The phone vibrated in the vest pocket just as we were positioned.The pattern was specific — the number I didn’t want to answer, but knew I needed to.Cassius.Mateo looked at me from the driver’s seat, eyes narrowed. Luca, in the back, already held the pistol with white-knuckled tension. Zahir, in the passenger seat, adjusted his earpiece, face calm, eyes fixed on the drone monitors flying over the area.“Answer it,” Zahir said. “Find out what he wants.”I answered.“Tristan.” My father’s voice was calm, controlled, as if discussing the weather, not my best friend’s life. “I imagine you already know about my… guest.”“Where is he?”“You thought I was going to make it easy?” He laughed, a dry, humorless sound. “I want you to come alone to the abandoned warehouse in the industrial sector. I’ll send the coordinates. If I see anyone other than you, Raphaël dies. If I suspect anything, he dies. If you take longer than an hour, he dies.”“Cassius…”“Alone, Tristan. Don’t test my patience.”

    How many days had I been there? I no longer knew.Time had lost all meaning between the dirty walls, the cold meals the guards brought me without a word, the sleepless nights counting the cracks in the ceiling.Cassius’s men didn’t talk to me. They didn’t answer my questions. They didn’t look at me as if I were human.I was a package. A load. A burden to be watched until the boss decided my fate.And now, the boss had decided.The apartment door burst open with a bang. It wasn’t the polite knock of someone bringing food. It was the entrance of those coming to do the job.Two men.The same ones who had been watching me for days. The taller one, bald, with a cut on his eyebrow that never healed properly. The shorter one, dark-skinned, with dark, empty eyes like those of a dead fish.“Get up,” the bald one ordered.“What… what’s happening?”“Get up, Lena. I won’t repeat myself.”My legs were shaking, but I obeyed.I got up from the unmade bed, barefoot on the cold floor. The nightgown I
