Sebastian

I hesitated for a moment before following him. The wind was sharp as blades here, the trees whispering secrets only they understood. Having lived in New York for so long, this hidden plethora of villas was completely tucked away from plain sight. The towering trees and mountains created a fortress of nature. The air was chilly.

Each villa was interconnected in a circular motion, like the segments of a coconut, all leading up to the massive one in the center—like the heart of a beast. A perfect metaphor for the Society itself. No one above it. No one beyond it.

“Welcome to one of the Echelon Society compounds here in New York,” Julian said, smug. He laid a hand on my shoulder, and I shrugged it off with disgust. Julian, unlike my father, was built like a bear—broad, imposing—with the eyes of a serpent. “This will all be yours to command soon.”

"I’m not sure if it’s arrogance or delusion keeping you from hearing me, but let me be clear, Julian—I don’t want your empire, your

    OliviaWhere the hell did I put them?I tore through the place in a panic. Philip had called, demanding Sebastian’s key card again, and the only way to convince him I was still on his side was to hand it over. But I wasn’t some clueless pawn—I’d made a duplicate, a fake. If he tried to use it, it would block him from getting in. And if things went south, I could just say Sebastian must’ve changed it behind my back or added extra security.My search continued until my eyes finally landed on them, lying side by side. But now that I was up close, I realized I had a problem—Sebastian’s real key card was mixed in, and they looked nearly identical. I couldn’t tell them apart.God, why did I make them look so damn identical? I leaned in, squinting to catch any hint of difference, then finally just picked one. I tossed it into my bag, heart thudding, and slipped out of the house quietly—heading straight for Philip’s place before Sebastian came back looking for the key card he forgot on his wa

    SebastianThe silence in the car was suffocating—thick, tense, like a noose slowly tightening around my neck. The hum of the engine, low and steady, buzzed beneath us, and the occasional crunch of gravel under the tires was the only sign we were moving. I kept my eyes pinned on the road ahead, but my mind couldn’t stop asking questions. Where the hell were we going? And why was he the one driving?Julian King wasn’t just a powerful man—he was dangerous. Cruel. Feared. The kind of man who didn’t need to raise his voice to destroy you. Everything he did was calculated, like a grandmaster playing chess with people’s lives. Him showing up now was definitely not a coincidence.“Where are we going?” I asked, voice flat and firm.His eyes met mine in the rearview mirror—blue and sharp, burning cold like glacier ice—but I didn’t flinch. I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction.“You look so much like your mother. She's such a beautiful woman,” he clicked his tongue, his tone smooth and laced w

    SebastianMy family’s company towered before me, all bedazzled glam, glassy elegance, and a kind of tall, showy arrogance that made my jaw twitch. It looked exactly like the people who ran it—polished on the outside, rotten underneath. I adjusted my sunglasses, the sunlight bouncing off the chrome exterior like it was trying to blind me into submission, and walked in.I rarely came here. Hell, I avoided this place like a disease. But after that stunt my old man pulled at the café the other day, I had no choice but to hunt him down.The moment I stepped through the doors, it was like time paused. Every head turned. People greeted me politely—too politely. My father’s personal assistant showed up almost instantly, practically jittering like a leaf. His face was pale, a sheen of sweat ghosting across his skin like fear had become a permanent part of him.I arched a brow at that. Something was off. But I said nothing. I just followed him, my boots thudding with deliberate calm as we enter

    Kaylee"Philip?" I called out, pushing the door to his room open. It was dark inside, the air heavy and stale—thick with the sharp sting of old liquor and something far worse… hopelessness."Philip!" I called again, stepping further in, eyes adjusting to the gloom. Damn, that failed Rhodium heist really did a number on him. It's been weeks already, and he's still like this—wallowing like a tragic side character in someone else's story.I hadn’t exactly moved on from what happened either, but at least I hadn’t trapped myself in a house that smelled like a bar and a rotting crime scene.He was sprawled across the bed, half-buried in a grave of empty bottles. The mattress sagged under his weight and his filth. He looked disgusting—and the stench rising from his body could’ve peeled paint."Get out!" he slurred from beneath a tangle of covers that hadn’t seen a wash in forever.Why do I even bother again? I certainly wasn't supposed to be here after this moron accused me of being a snitch

    Olivia "Olivia, run! Get out while you still can!!"Sebastian’s robe was stained with blood from the gash on his side. He lay on the ground, bleeding from his mouth—a horrific sight that made my heart stop, cold and sharp like someone had yanked it out of my chest."I won't leave you!" I cried, clutching his hand tightly, my fingers trembling against his."You… have… to… Olivia. I need you to go, please, my love." His voice was barely above a whisper, raspy and raw like it hurt him to speak.I sobbed, my chest caving in with each painful breath. The entire place was on fire—flames roared like beasts around us, devouring everything. Broken pieces of furniture were scattered and debris flew freely. The air was thick, choking, suffocating."Please… please… we can make it. Just let me help you!" I begged, desperation cracking my voice. I tried to lift him, but he was too heavy. His weight was deadening, and the fire was inching closer, licking at our feet like it was determined to pull u
