"Theodore’s doing well," she said, breaking the comfortable silence.

Alistair smiled a rare moment of warmth passing over his features. "He's a smart boy." It looks like you.

Evelyn's heart stopped. The words were easy to understand, but the way he delivered them made her feel like she was the most important thing in the world. She looked him in the eye, and for a brief moment, the rest of the world appeared to fade away. But Alistair's phone rang just as fast, bringing them both back to reality.

"Excuse me," he said in a low voice as he looked at the message on his screen. He squinted as he read.

"Is everything okay?" Evelyn inquired, but she could tell from the way his face stiffened that it wasn't.

Alistair gazed up at her with his mouth shut. "It's Alexander," he said, his voice shaky. "He's giving me a warning." Threatening everything I've worked for.

She couldn't breathe as she watched him. "What did he say?"

Alistair's eyes met hers, and they were icy and far away. He re

    "We've got one shot at this, Belle," Alistair said, his voice low but firm. "I know," Belle said, her voice a little more strained than normal. She looked around the room, catching the eyes of their valued friends. There was no way out for any of them now. "We have to take him down tonight, or we could lose everything." You could feel the tension in the room. The weight of their task was like a storm cloud above their heads, ready to burst. Belle stood next to Alistair, her hands securely gripped as she watched the TV. The way she stood said that she was sure of herself, but her eyes showed that she was unsure. Suddenly, Alexander's voice came through the speakers, and his remarks were full of pride. "Do you think you've won, Alistair? "You've just started playing the game," Alexander remarked, his voice silky but mocking. "Just wait." I have one last card to play. Alistair's jaw tightened. "We'll see about that." Belle stepped forward, her voice steady. "Stop playing games, Ale

    "We're cutting off his resources tonight," Alistair said, his voice hard and confident. He could see the blueprints of their attack in front of him. Each line and circle was a sign of a carefully thought-out plan. "We'll take away his power base, freeze his assets, and hit his accounts." Belle stood next to him with her hand resting lightly on the table. "This is the time we've been waiting for." "Now or never." "Exactly," Alistair said, leaning over the table and making his eyes darker. "We make him feel it." We take all he has and make sure he never gets it back. The plan's weight hung over the room, and everyone knew what was at risk. Alexander had played the game with ruthless accuracy, but Alistair's crew had been working behind the scenes, gathering information and waiting for this perfect opportunity to attack. "The first attack starts in an hour," Alistair said, still looking at the map. "Everyone here has a role to perform. We do this quickly and without making a sound.

    "Are you ready for this?" Belle asked in a hushed voice, but it was full with determination. She never took her eyes off of him, knowing that what happened next would decide their destiny. Alistair looked at her, his eyes penetrating but full of unsaid love. "I don't have a choice." Alexander won't stop until everything I've worked for is gone. "We fight back this time, but we do it on our own terms." Belle's eyes narrowed, and her jaw was set with determination. "What's the plan?" Alistair looked down at the papers that were all over the table. They were Gabrielle's revelations, the information they had acquired, and the plan they had started to make. "We now know what his weak points are. He thought we were weaker than we are, but not anymore. Belle came closer and touched his fingertips as she reached for the papers. "And what about the information Gabrielle has? What do we do with that? Alistair stopped for a while to catch his breath. "It's a game-changer." We know what he w

    "Alistair," she said quietly, as if the weight of her return crushed down on her. "I've come to fix things." Belle slowly got up, her face showing a mix of disbelief and confusion. "Gabrielle, you vanished. Not a word. And now you come here, after all that's happened? Gabrielle walked into the room and closed the door behind her with a quiet click. "I know I shouldn't seek for forgiveness. But I've been working on being at peace with myself for the past few years. I can't alter what happened in the past, but I want to make things right. For you, Alistair. "For the family." Alistair walked across the room, his eyes steely, but it was hard to stay upset at Gabrielle because her eyes were so sad. "You've been gone for years, Gabrielle. And now you want to be forgiven? His voice was rough and full of anger. "Why now?" Gabrielle took a deep breath and clasped her hands in front of her, shaking them. "I made a huge mistake. I've been dragging it around. But there's one more thing. Somet

    "Belle," he said, his voice low but steady. She looked him in the eye and searched his, as if she could see into the depths of his soul. "I've made mistakes," Alistair said, his voice heavy with regret. "But I want this, what we have, to be different. I want you to have the future that we both deserve. She moved closer, and when she reached out to touch his arm, her fingertips brushed lightly against his flesh. Her soft touch brought him down to earth, taking him out of the torrent of thoughts that were racing through his head. But the past was still hanging over them like a shadow they couldn't get away from. Alistair continued, "I'm not asking for your forgiveness, Belle." His heart was racing. "I'm asking for a chance to show you that I can be the man you need and want." He took a big inhale, and the air was thick with unspoken words. "Belle, will you marry me again?" But this time, on your terms. The words hung in the air, and the question stayed between them. Belle looked at

    "Alistair," Theodore said, his voice urgent and nearly frantic. "You have to see this." There is a message. "From Alexander." Alistair's stomach sank. "What's next?" "The press is going crazy," Theodore said. "But this is different. We have been following him, Alistair. He is gone. Gone without a trace. But there's something else— The call ended suddenly, and the line became silent. Alistair swore beneath his breath and called back right away. Theodore picked up on the second ring. His voice was calm, but he was scared. "There is a message," Theodore said again, and his words hung in the air. "We've discovered it. He is gone, yet he left us something. "Hey, a note." Alistair's hands turned into fists, and his heart raced. "What did it say?" There was a rustling sound on the other end before Theodore began again, his voice strained. "The game is over, but the war has just begun." The words kept coming back to Alistair's head. His body tightened as he thought about what it meant.
