SAOIRSE.

“That's why you don't go around poking your nose whenever you feel like it, Saoirse.”

I let out a heavy sigh, shut my eyes close and bit my lips as hard as I could. I wanted to smack the hell out of myself to get some sense.

If I could just disappear and let the ground eat me alive, I’ll do it, just so I can be saved from the embarrassment and humiliation I've put myself into.

Damn it. I couldn't sleep properly for the past night since that night. My mind continues to wander off, I w

    SAOIRSE.“Tell me…what part of my order sounded optional?”Zeus said it to the group around him, not to me, but he was looking directly at me when he said it, and that was worse.Five people turned to follow his eyes. Then a sixth. I felt the attention land on me the way you feel a hand that is impossible to ignore.I had been standing near the edge of his circle for the better part of ten minutes, close enough to listen, far enough to look like I wasn't.It was supposed to be the safest distance in the room. Close enough to read him, far enough that he'd have no reason to notice me among the dozen other women doing the exact same thing.All us circling the same fire for our own separate reasons.“Everyone unmasked ten minutes ago,” he said, to the group, still watching me. “Except her.”A man beside him laughed. “Maybe she didn't get the memo.”“No. She got it,” Zeus said. “She's choosing not to follow it. Interesting.”I kept my face still and my glass steady and did the math on how

    SAOIRSE.“One...”“Two…”“Three.”Three seconds. Three seconds was long enough for Zeus to walk past me in the east corridor and keep walking.He did not slow down. He did not turn his head. The space between us closed and then opened again, and I stood there with my champagne flute steady in my hand, watching the back of his suit disappear into the crowd. He didn't turn back once.I have thought about this moment for days. I built versions of it in my head. The way his eyes would find mine across a room and watch the color in his face flash out.The way his jaw would go tight. The way he would know, without being told, that the woman standing in front of him wasn't a stranger.I did not build this version. The one where he doesn't stop at all.I stood in that corridor for a long time after he'd gone. Long enough that a waiter asked if I needed a fresh glass. I didn't let go of the glass I was holding because if I let go of it I was afraid of what I might do with them instead.Year

    SAOIRSE.“Are you not going to ask me why I haven't told him you're alive?"Massimo said as he watch me the way he watched me since the day he pulled me out of the wreckage of my old life. As if he found something worth keeping, to keep enough to destroy."Because you need something from me first."His mouth moves, almost a smile, not quite. "I need everything from you."I let that sit in the air between us instead of answering it. There's a version of me that would have flinched at a sentence like that. That version died with the rest of who I was the night I let the fool out of me to trust anyone."The Trojan Covenant turns five years old next month. The Obsidian is hosting half the underworld in one room to celebrate it." Massimo says, "Zeus’ alliance, everything he built, every enemy too afraid to move against him — all of it, in one room, patronizing him like he's a type of god.""And you. You want to touch him.""I want him dead." His voice doesn't rise. It never does. "Brick b

    SAOIRSE."Blood calls to blood, Saoirse. Come home."I was already mid-swing, my fists slamming into the heavy bag in the dim underground gym but those words from Massimo has been playing repeatedly in my mind, playing on and off.Sweat poured off me, stinging my eyes, but I kept going, until my punches are louder than his voice. The bag swung back hard, chains rattling loud against the concrete ceiling.This gym was my spot. No windows, just the thud of my knuckles hitting leather and my sharp breaths cutting the air.I'd been pounding away for hours, letting the rage build, sharpening myself for what was coming.My phone buzzed on the rickety bench across the room, screen lighting up with his name.Massimo.I ignored it, three punches, four, five. Each one landing with a wet smack that bounced off the walls.The bag jerked, but the buzzing wouldn't quit, drilling into my skull like a goddamn fly. I ripped off my gloves with my teeth, spat them on the floor, and snatched the phone."

    SAOIRSE.“You should have run when I gave you the chance.”The man barely had time to turn his head before my blade slid under his ribs.I didn’t rush it. I never do.His breath caught first, sharp, confused—then his body followed, stiffening against the cold brick wall of the alley. My hand stayed steady, pressed against the hilt, feeling the exact moment his strength started to drain. There’s always a shift. A quiet surrender. Like something inside them finally understands it’s over.I leaned closer, my voice low against his ear. “You have debt to pay, I was just collecting it.”The man tried to speak but nothing came out but a wet sound.Then, I pulled the blade out slow.He dropped on the floor. Then what followed was the deafening silence. As I stared at the body on the floor, I can still vividly remember the days, from three years ago. And all that I can say is: I'm far from who I was before. I couldn’t even hold a stick without my hands trembling. Now, I don’t even blink no

    SAOIRSE."Hit me again, Saoirse. Hit me harder this time and pretend that I'm him."Massimo's voice cut through the dim gym like a blade, his massive frame planted in front of the padded target he held up. Sweat dripped from his brow, staining his black tank top, but his eyes locked on mine—pushing me like he always did. I clenched my fists, wrapped in fresh tape, and drove my knuckles forward. The impact jolted up my arms, solid and precise. The target buckled just a fraction under his grip."Good," he grunted, adjusting his stance. "Again. But faster. You telegraph that left hook every time."I nodded, sucking in air that burned my lungs. We'd been at it for hours—basic strikes first, targets three feet away, then takedowns on the mat. He'd pinned me earlier, his body crushing mine to show how leverage worked against size. "Use their weight against them," he'd said, rolling off with a smirk. "Knee to the groin, elbow to the throat. Be strategic, not just brute force." I'd flipp
