Mila’s POV

The silence of my apartment felt unnatural, like the air itself carried secrets I wasn’t meant to hear. After leaving Daya’s cryptic warning behind, I’d been walking around in a daze, pretending I could still function. But deep down, I knew the walls were closing in. Logan’s name had been planted in my mind, and it had been sprouting ever since.

I sat on the edge of my bed, the envelope of photos still unopened beside me. I didn’t need to look at them again. Every shot was burned into my memory the angle of Jayden’s hand on the back of my chair, the way our conversations could be twisted into something more. To anyone else, those pictures screamed scandal. To me, they screamed setup.

The phone on my nightstand buzzed. A new message. My chest tightened as I reached for it.

Unknown number again.

“You think you’re safe because Jayden is beside you? He won’t be able to protect you when the investors turn their backs.”

I dropped the phone onto the blanket like it was poison. My

    Jayden’s POVI replayed the video again, my jaw tight enough to crack. Mila’s brother’s voice rang out with a cruel clarity, every syllable a nail driven into her already fragile standing.“Replacing her would be good for business.”It was one line. Just one. But stripped of context, it was a loaded weapon. Logan wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.I leaned back in my chair, forcing my grip to loosen before I shattered the phone. Rage was dangerous. Rage made mistakes. And mistakes were exactly what Logan wanted.The storm outside the office window mirrored my thoughts. Lightning flashed, throwing sharp shadows across the walls. I thought of Mila, alone in her apartment, holding that phone with trembling hands. I wanted to shield her from every blow, but every new twist made me realize how little control I had. Protection meant nothing when the battlefield stretched wider than my reach.I reached for the landline on my desk, voice hard as steel when my head of security answered. “I

    Mila’s POVThe message on my phone felt like a hand closing around my throat. Four words. Short. Precise.“You think he’s protecting you. He’s the reason you were replaced.”I stared until the screen blurred. My breath came shallow. My heart thudded so hard I could feel it in my throat. For a moment, the apartment fell away. No sound, no shape, only those words searing through me like fire.I should have thrown the phone away. I should have called Jayden immediately and demanded answers. Instead, I sank to the floor, forehead pressed to the cool wood, and let the silence press against me.Who would say such a thing? Who would want to break me when the press had already stripped me bare?Logan. Of course Logan. He loved a slow unravel. He built chaos into stories that looked like truths. But this wasn’t just a journalist’s game. The message had weight. It hinted at knowledge from inside that only someone close could wield.My hands shook as I pulled open the hidden drawer where Jayden’

    Mila’s POVThe photo on Jayden’s phone made my stomach drop. My jacket, my pace, the neon lights behind me every detail was from less than an hour ago. Whoever took it had been close, maybe even walking behind me.My fingers trembled as I shoved the phone back toward him. “He’s following me, Jayden. He knows where I am.”Jayden’s jaw tightened, his entire posture rigid. He reached across the table, steadying my shaking hands. “Listen to me. He wants to scare you. That’s all this is.”“No.” My voice cracked. “This isn’t scare tactics. This is proof. He’s showing you he can get to me whenever he wants.”The café suddenly felt too small, every pair of eyes on me. I could hear faint whispers at another table and couldn’t tell if they were talking about me or not. My chest tightened until I could hardly breathe.Jayden must have noticed, because he quickly paid the bill and guided me outside. His hand was firm at the small of my back, steady and grounding. But even with him so close, I cou

    Mila’s POVThe envelope from Daya hadn’t left my bag since the café. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away, but I couldn’t look at it again either. The photographs, the carefully angled shots of Jayden and me, felt like poison. They weren’t real, not in the way Logan wanted them to be. Yet I knew how convincing they looked to strangers, and strangers were all the investors needed to believe.I sat on my bed in the apartment, the night pressing against the windows. Every time I closed my eyes, Hedda’s smirk appeared, only to dissolve into Logan’s face. He was always lurking in the shadows, pulling strings.My phone buzzed again.Another unknown number.“Step away from Jayden if you want your career back.”I stared at the words until my vision blurred. It wasn’t just Hedda, not anymore. Logan wanted me gone, and he was using every tool he had to make it happen.I wanted to tell Jayden, to let him carry this weight with me, but a part of me hesitated. What if Logan was right? What if

    Mila’s POVThe air in the training grounds felt heavier than usual. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the weight of what had happened last night pressing on my chest, reminding me that I had crossed a line I wasn’t sure I could ever step back from.Liam’s voice was calm, but it carried authority, filling the space with a power that made others straighten instinctively. He didn’t shout. He never needed to. One word from him and everyone obeyed.And this morning, his eyes never left me.“Pair up,” he ordered. Warriors began moving, some reluctantly, others eager. Boots scraped against gravel, weapons clattered as they were lifted.I shifted on my feet, hoping he’d look elsewhere, hoping he’d forget me, but he didn’t. His gaze sharpened, pinning me like a hawk locking on prey.“You. With me.”The words sliced through the murmurs around us. A few heads turned. Some of the men smirked, whispering to each other, no doubt wondering why Liam would single me out. My stomach knotted, but I forced m
