◈THOMPSON'S MANSION◈

“I’ll be there in an hour,” Asher said into his phone, his voice low and controlled. He ended the call and slipped the device into his coat pocket, a sleek black briefcase firm in his grip as he stepped out of the building. His stride was purposeful, every movement precise.

Fred approached from the side, head bowed slightly. “Sir, allow me to take the briefcase.”

Asher didn’t slow his pace. “No need. I’ll handle it myself.”

Asher didn’t slow his pace. “No need. I’ll handle it myself.”

Fred hesitated, his voice soft but insistent. “Sir…”

Asher turned, his gaze calm yet commanding. “I said it’s fine, Fred.”

For a moment, silence hung between them, heavy with unspoken respect. Then Fred lowered his head once more. “Understood, Sire.”

Asher gave a brief nod and continued toward his car. The sound of his polished shoes against the concrete echoed with quiet authority as he walked toward the car, the black briefcase firm in his grip, carried with the same confid

    Caleb burst out of the airport doors and onto the road, breath tight in his chest, only to stop short when he spotted Jaden standing beside a cab, hands tucked casually into his pockets, a grin already spreading across his face.“I thought you said you were gone,” Caleb said, slowing as he approached, his eyes searching Jaden’s face for an explanation that made sense.Jaden’s smile widened instead of answering, his shoulders lifting slightly as if the moment amused him more than it should have.“Tadah,” Jaden sang, the word light and deliberate, pitched like a revealed surprise.“This isn’t funny,” Caleb said, turning away in irritation, already half a step back toward the terminal.Caleb stopped and turned back slowly, his expression flattening into disbelief, his mouth tightening as he took Jaden in again, this time with sharper eyes.“What do you mean by that,” Caleb asked, his face going cold as his tone dropped, controlled but edged.Jaden shifted his weight from the cab and fina

    Asher scoffed, tilting his head back, a sharp laugh escaping him. “Are you for real?”Caleb’s gaze flickered to the side, then back to Asher, unflinching, his smile teasing but firm. “Does it look like I’m joking, darling? Sorry for not telling you earlier, but the boys made it known that they went shopping for me the last time we video called. I saw everything they bought, so I couldn’t possibly take a load with me to meet another.” His voice carried a playful authority, and quiet satisfaction in the way Asher’s eyes momentarily widened.“This is strange,” Asher murmured, his tone softening as Caleb closed the distance, brushing against him, lips pressing against Asher’s in a slow, deliberate kiss. Asher’s hands slid around Caleb’s waist instinctively, pulling him closer, and for a moment, Henry’s eyes flicked away, mouth pressed into a thin line, reluctant to watch. Caleb turned toward where Asher’s gaze flickered, then laughed softly at the sight of Henry, the sound pulling him in

    Naomi ran past the stretch of the quiet road where she usually saw the young lady sitting, the familiar bench empty. She slowed slightly, scanning the area with a flicker of curiosity, but the path ahead was clear, the morning light soft on the asphalt. Shaking off the moment, she picked up her pace again, the rhythm of her steps steady, the cool air filling her lungs.Meters ahead, a subtle shift in the air made her senses prick, a presence behind her that moved with measured precision, each step deliberate and silent.Naomi lunged with a quick punch, but she noticed the figure leaned back, letting it pass, and dropped low to avoid Naomi’s sweeping kick. Naomi straightened, and her heart still racing as she realized it was the young lady who sat daily on the bench, their breath steadying and for a moment they simply watched each other. The world seemed to pause as their eyes locked, the young lady’s gaze cool yet not unfriendly, and the rare color of it caught the light, silver-gree

    ✦DAYS LATER✦Naomi was jogging through a quiet stretch of the estate road when she felt it again, that subtle prickle between her shoulders that told her she was being watched. Ahead, by the same bench, a beautiful young woman sat perfectly still, her posture casual but her attention absolute. As Naomi drew closer, their eyes met, and for the briefest moment time seemed to tighten around them.The woman’s gaze was sharp and icy, the pale silver of her eyes catching the light like frost on glass, and it held Naomi in place far longer than it should have. Naomi’s breath hitched, her pulse fluttering, and even as her legs moved on, she could not shake the weight of that stare. The moment ended abruptly as Naomi’s eyes flicked away, and the world snapped apart when she woke with a sharp inhale, chest rising and falling too fast, sweat cooling on her skin while the memory of those eyes lingered.“Bitch. You stalk me in my dreams now?” Naomi muttered to herself, her voice rough with sleep a

    ✦THE NEXT MORNING✦◈THOMPSON'S MANSION◈Caleb guided Henry down the staircase with a gentle hand at his back, his touch careful, encouraging rather than firm. At the base of the stairs, a woman stood slightly apart from Asher and Amanda, her posture relaxed but attentive, hands folded loosely in front of her. Caleb slowed and leaned closer to Henry, lowering his voice. “This is your home teacher. Bianca,” he said softly, his tone warm, almost bright with optimism as he gestured toward the woman. “Her name is Ms Bianca.”Ms Bianca stepped forward immediately, her smile open and sincere, eyes lighting as they settled on Henry. “Such an adorable child,” she said with a gentle laugh in her voice, dipping her head slightly to meet his gaze.Henry did not return the warmth. His expression cooled, shoulders stiffening as his eyes moved slowly from Ms Bianca to Amanda. Amanda met his stare without blinking, her gaze sharp, appraising, carrying a pressure that made his jaw tighten. Henry forc

    Naomi twisted in her seat, looking back. “There are coming after us,” she said, her voice flat.Fred checked the mirror. “Two Onyx Raptors,” he replied, spotting the black hypercars closing fast, their headlights aggressive, engines howling as they gained.Chipo’s voice cut in, tight now. “Naomi, prep.”Naomi leaned forward, her eyes turning cold, and lethal. “Open the canopy,” she commanded and Fred slammed the control.The Lucent Vortex canopy split and slid back, exposing the cabin to the open air as Naomi rose smoothly, her movements controlled, savage in their calm. She reached behind her, drawing two compact pistols, her stance steady despite the speed. She fired, muzzle flashes ripping through the dark as bullets sparked across the lead Raptor’s hood, forcing it to swerve.Naomi braced herself, watching angles, feeding Fred distances. “They are hesitating,” she said. “Use it.”Fred pushed harder, the speed climbing as the Raptors faltered, then regrouped.“They are coming again
