It was soft, feminine, calm—as though she were simply stopping by for tea.But Edward froze like he’d been shot.Abby gripped the blanket in her lap, knuckles white. Daniel muttered a curse under his breath, reaching for the knife tucked into his boot. Ivy sat bolt upright on the couch, her face pale, her wide eyes darting toward the door like a rabbit trapped in a snare.Edward didn’t move for several long seconds. His hand hovered just above the gun at his hip. He looked like marble—cold, carved, unyielding—but Abby could see the tension in the way his jaw locked, the vein in his neck that pulsed.The woman outside waited.“Edward,” Elena’s voice called again, a little softer this time, as if she were coaxing him. “Don’t make me stand in the dark. Let me in.”Daniel stepped forward, low and tense. “Don’t. It’s a trick. You know it is
Chapter 53 – The House That WaitedThe safehouse sat on the edge of the city, tucked behind rows of warehouses that looked like nothing but steel skeletons and dust. From the outside, it wasn’t anything worth noticing—a faded brick building with boarded-up windows, an old padlock on the front gate, weeds curling through cracks in the asphalt. To a stranger, it looked abandoned. But as Edward slid his black car into the narrow alley and pressed a hidden button on his key fob, the iron gate clicked open with a quiet snap.Daniel drove in behind them, his headlights dimmed, his shoulders hunched forward like he expected someone to jump out at them. Abby sat in the passenger seat of Edward’s car, her hands clenched in her lap. Ivy leaned between them from the backseat, peering out the tinted window, her face pale.The gate rolled shut behind them, and Edward parked close to the entrance. The place loomed around them, strange and silent, yet alive with the weight of secrets.Edward killed
Chapter 52 – The Move The morning light should have brought relief. It didn’t. The pale glow creeping through the blinds only revealed how drained they all looked, faces sharp with exhaustion, eyes shadowed from a night without rest. Abby sat on the couch, Ivy leaning against her shoulder, small and trembling despite the blanket wrapped around her. Abby stroked her hair in slow, soothing motions, though her own hands trembled. Edward hadn’t sat once. He prowled the length of the room, phone pressed to his ear, voice low and lethal as he issued orders. Abby couldn’t make out every word, but the tone told her enough. He was already mobilizing—already summoning his resources, reaching into that shadowy network of power he carried as easily as others carried air. Daniel leaned in the corner near the window, his arms crossed. His knife rested on the table beside him, gleaming faintly in the gray light. He didn’t look at Edward, but Abby could feel the crackling current between them. D
Chapter 51 – In the Dark The darkness swallowed the apartment whole. For a moment, no one moved. Abby’s breath hitched in her throat, and she felt Edward’s grip tighten around her hand, grounding her, holding her in place as though sheer force could keep the shadows at bay. Ivy stirred on the couch, mumbling in her sleep, but didn’t wake. Daniel was the first to move—he flicked on his phone screen, the pale blue glow painting sharp lines across his face. “Power’s out for the whole block,” he muttered after a glance through the window. “Streetlights too.” Abby’s skin prickled. “That’s not an accident.” Edward’s jaw clenched. “No. It’s not.” He pulled her closer, his other arm circling her shoulders protectively. Abby could feel the hard thrum of his heart against her temple. He was calm on the surface, but inside he was all steel and fire. Daniel moved quickly, gathering the few candles Abby had in a drawer, lighting them one by one until the tiny flames threw shaky golden halos

Chapter 30 – Between His Silence and MineThe days moved slowly after Daniel left.Edward went back to his quiet self. He wasn’t cold, but he wasn’t entirely warm either. He still held her at night, still kissed her forehead when she passed by. But something unspoken hung in the air. Like a glass w
Chapter 1 Abby walked down the long driveway slowly. The sun was warm on her back, but her mind was all over the place. A one-week trial. That was her chance. It wasn’t much, but it was something. She glanced back at the mansion. It was so big and fancy, like a dream she didn’t belong in. But no
CHAPTER 1 Abby stood outside the tall iron gates, clutching her backpack tightly. The house ahead was like something out of a dream. It was big and beautiful, with huge windows that sparkled in the sunlight. The garden was filled with bright flowers, and a small fountain trickled softly in the m
