INICIAR SESIÓNAlina’s POV “Look at that,” he said, holding Leo close. “Our little prince, safe and happy. Nothing can take that away from us.”Leo grinned, hugging his father tightly. “Daddy, Mommy, I love you both!”My chest swelled with emotion. “We love you too, Leo. More than anything.”Later, inside the mansion, the atmosphere had shifted from tense vigilance to quiet restoration. Rooms that had been fortified now felt warm and welcoming again. The security personnel remained, but they were no longer tense they were guardians of a home that had survived, not soldiers bracing for war.Sebastian and I moved through the house together, checking every detail, ensuring that the sanctuary we had built was intact. “It feels good,” he said finally, running a hand along the polished banister. “To walk through these halls and not feel like we’re under siege.”“It does,” I agreed. “It’s like the house has finally exhaled after holding its breath for so long.”We entered the study, where sunlight strea
Alina’s POVLeo looked up from his cars and ran toward Sebastian, his tiny arms wrapping around his father’s legs. “Daddy! We’re safe, right?”Sebastian smiled, kneeling to meet him at eye level. “Yes, buddy. We’re safe. Mommy and I will always make sure of it.”I felt tears prick my eyes as I watched the exchange. Every sleepless night, every tense hour, every strategy and precaution had been for this for these moments of pure, unbroken joy. I hugged myself as a gentle sob escaped. “We’ve survived… we really survived.”Sebastian leaned in, brushing a gentle kiss across my temple. “We did. And we’ve done it together. That’s what makes us unbreakable.”By mid-morning, the mansion had settled into a rhythm that felt almost surreal after the chaos of the past weeks. Guards were still present, of course, but their presence was now more precautionary than urgent. Surveillance monitors were still active, but there was no longer the frantic tension that had defined every day and night for s
Alina’s POVSebastian’s hand covered mine, grounding me. “We will. But this time, there’s no room for error. They’ll attempt everything: deception, distraction, even threats to provoke fear and hesitation. Every move we make must be precise, deliberate, and anticipatory. This isn’t just defense anymore; it’s strategic survival.”By mid-morning, the mansion had become a nerve center of calculated vigilance. Surveillance feeds scrolled continuously, entrances and exits reinforced, and every corridor was monitored by both human guards and technology. Sebastian, Lucia, and I coordinated with law enforcement, private security, and tech experts, planning for every possible scenario.Lucia broke the silence, her voice sharp and measured. “They’re coordinating multiple teams now, more aggressive, more synchronized. They’re probing weaknesses, looking for any sign of distraction or error. The insider’s exposure has made them reckless. They’ll strike soon, and they’ll do everything they can
Alina’s POV“They’ve been cautious, moving only when no one is watching. They know we’re closing in. But tonight, we have the chance to expose them. If we wait, we risk losing the opportunity.”I clenched my fists, determination coiling tightly. “Then we confront them now. Whoever it is, they will not harm Vanessa or the children.”Sebastian’s gaze hardened. “Exactly. We anticipate, intercept, and neutralize. Whoever this ally is, their advantage is knowledge—but knowledge can only protect them for so long. Tonight, we strip that away.”By afternoon, the mansion was on high alert. Security teams patrolled every corridor, cameras scanned every angle, and entrances were locked. Sebastian coordinated every measure personally, ensuring that the insider could not bypass defenses without being detected. Every system was monitored, every potential weak point reinforced.Leo ran into the study, flushed with excitement. “Mommy! Daddy! The bird came back to the balcony again!”Sebastian crouch
Alina’s POVSebastian covered my hand with his, grounding me. “We’ll stop them. But we have to be strategic. Impulsive action will play into their hands. This isn’t just defense anymore it’s exposure, identification, and neutralization. We need to reveal them without endangering anyone inside.”By mid-morning, the mansion had become an operational hub. Every camera feed was analyzed, every access point scrutinized. Sebastian, Lucia, and I coordinated with law enforcement and private security, formulating a plan to unmask the insider. Every step had to be precise, because this ally wasn’t just a shadow—they were familiar with our habits, our patterns, and our vulnerabilities.Lucia’s voice broke the tense silence mid-morning. “They’ve been moving carefully, avoiding direct contact. Whoever this is, they’re waiting for an opportunity to create chaos. If we act now, we can catch them in the act. But if we hesitate, the opportunity will disappear, and the risk to Vanessa and the child
Alina’s POVThat makes them dangerous. They’re calculating their moves carefully, and this is the first time they’ve escalated to involving an insider.”My chest tightened with a mixture of fear and anger. “They won’t succeed. Vanessa is safe. Leo and the baby are safe. No one will get close.”Sebastian’s hand found mine, grounding me. “We will protect them. But we need to anticipate, not react. Whoever this person is, they could create openings we didn’t expect. Every detail must be scrutinized, every movement calculated.”The morning passed in tense preparation. Sebastian, Lucia, and I monitored every camera feed, traced every possible approach, and cross-referenced intelligence. Our tech team patched potential vulnerabilities, and security personnel patrolled every corridor. The mansion had become a fortress, yet the threat of a hidden insider meant that even these measures might not be enough.Lucia’s voice broke the silence mid-morning, urgent and precise. “The network’s new al
