✦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

“I just watched something magical right now,” Caleb said, leaning forward slightly, voice soft with admiration. “I’m jealous.”“Hey, bro,” Will said, eyes narrowing as a playful suspicion crept into his tone. “I’ve got this feeling you had a hand in this.”Caleb’s expression tightened slightly, a small, almost mischievous smile tugging at his lips. “Me?” he asked softly. “What makes you say such a thing?”“Caleb?” Will prompted, leaning closer to the screen, his brow furrowed.“You know that…” Caleb began, voice careful, but Will cut him off mid-sentence.“Caleb?” Will repeated, impatience and curiosity mingling in his tone.Caleb shifted slightly in his seat, a small laugh escaping him. “I don’t know where this is coming from, but…”“Caleb?” Will cut in again, sharper this time, the silence after it stretching between them. Both stared at the screen for a moment as Will arched a brow, silently demanding Caleb speak.Caleb exhaled slowly, letting the words settle before he finally sai

✦A WEEK LATER✦◈ALEX'S APARTMENT◈Alex sat facing Matteo and spoke quietly, his voice controlled, the strain beneath it carried in the tightness of his jaw and the way his breath caught between words.“You have to listen to what Dante said,” Alex said, his voice steady but weighted. “This revenge thing you have in mind has to stop. Silvio is gone and also his killer, Isolde. There is nothing left to chase.”Matteo tilted his head slightly, his expression calm as he listened. After a moment, he nodded once and answered gently.“I’m cool now,” Matteo said, his tone restrained. “Evelyn is dead. Whatever mess I was in with her is over.” He paused, then added more quietly, “For Silvio, I’ll let things slide.”Alex let out a slow breath, but Matteo continued, his eyes sharpening.“But Capo Nero,” Matteo said, his jaw tightening, “what he did to me, that’s not something I just forget.”Alex leaned closer, his gaze firm but pleading.“Holding onto that will only tear you apart,” he said. “For

◈THOMPSON'S MANSION◈“You were right not to move,” Harrison said as he took his seat, loosening his cuff as if the strain had only just left his body. “If you had acted before they did, it would have confirmed their suspicions.”Asher watched him without speaking as Harrison continued. “The auditor pushed harder than expected and didn’t stop at his circle. He requested institutional sponsorship, and that’s where everything broke.”Asher’s gaze sharpened slightly. “Above you.”“Yes,” Harrison said. “The Deputy Director of Oversight Review stepped in first. Then the Inter‑Agency Compliance Council requested briefing authority.”Asher exhaled slowly as his eyes narrowed into Harrison's.“Desperately...” Harrison confirmed. “They wanted to know how sealed matters tied to you never surfaced. How legal insulation held for years without fracture and how outcomes aligned so cleanly, assuming corruption.”“And you.”“I did what I’m positioned to do,” Harrison said. “I challenged the process an

Amanda’s eyes narrowed the moment she stepped into the room, her gaze cutting from Caleb to Ruby and then to Henry, who stood beside her, and then she turned and walked out with a calm that felt sharper than anger.Caleb’s chest tightened as the door closed behind her. He looked at Ruby, who lingered as if he wanted to explain himself, his mouth opening only to fail him. Ruby took a few hesitant steps, then quickened them, breaking into a jog as he hurried after Amanda.Silence dropped heavily in the room.Caleb exhaled and turned to Henry, who stood still for a beat before moving closer. Henry sat on the edge of the bed, his shoulders tense, and Caleb followed, lowering himself beside him.“So that was the reason he volunteered to help Amanda,” Henry said quietly, staring ahead. “No matter how hard she tried to be here.”Caleb let out a short scoff, more tired than amused. “Let’s not talk about that now,” he replied, his voice firm but controlled.“Okay,” Henry said, stretching the w
