Vincent's POV

My heavy shoes slammed hard against the wet pavement as I continued to chase the man. I fired two warning shots into the brick wall right beside the running gunman.

BANG! BANG!

Bricks exploded into dust inches from his head.

    Enzo's POVI was twelve years old the first time my mother taught me that love and patience were the same thing wearing different names, sitting close beside me in the dark like she was sharing a secret meant only for me.She used to sit with me on the back stairs of our old house, long after Vincent had gone to bed, and tell me stories about the family that came before us — the shipping empire she'd married into, the fortune my father had built on the backs of men who never once questioned where their orders came from, or why."Your brother gets everything first," she told me once, brushing my hair back from my forehead with a gentleness she never showed anyone else, not even my father. "The name. The company. The love, even, though he's never once had to earn it the way you will. That isn't fair, Enzo. But fair isn't how this family survives. Patience is. Remember that, when you're older, when it matters."I believed her completely. I was twelve. I didn't yet understand that a mothe

    Chapter 163Lisa's POVVincent found me in the study, sitting exactly where I'd been for the last hour, watching the door and waiting for a knock that felt like it would either save my life or break it completely apart, one or the other, no middle ground left.He held a single sheet of paper in his hand."The results are in," he said quietly, crossing the room to sit beside me, his weight settling the cushion in a way that made the moment feel suddenly, terrifyingly real.I couldn't make myself reach for it. "Just tell me. Please, just say it out loud."Vincent set the paper down on the small table between us, face up, so I could read it myself when I was ready, giving me that much control over the moment at least.Probability of full biological sibling relationship: 99.7%.I stared at the number until the digits blurred together, my chest tightening with something I didn't have a name for. Not relief, exactly. Not joy, exactly. Something bigger and messier than either of those words

    Chapter 162Christopher's POVThe board meeting lasted less than twenty minutes before three more partners walked out, their chairs still turning slightly in the silence they left behind.I sat alone in the empty conference room afterward, staring at the long table, listening to my own heartbeat pound too loud in my ears. Every week, the company bled a little more. Every week, Elena's public backing bought me a little less time than it had the week before.My phone rang. Gabriel."The partners are spooked," Gabriel said without any greeting, straight to business the way he always was. "You need Storm Global's statement renewed again, and this time it needs to be bigger. A press conference. Elena standing beside you, publicly, in front of cameras where everyone can see it.""She's not going to agree to that," I said."Make her agree," Gabriel said. "Or watch your company finish collapsing by the end of the quarter, and take my patience with it."I hung up without answering and sat ther

    Vincent's POV Duncan swallowed hard. I could hear him shifting uncomfortably on his hospital bed. "She... she told me her sister is dead," Duncan said softly. "She thinks Lisa didn't die an ordinary death. She thinks she was murdered by the enemies. She cried on the phone, Father. She said they killed her little sister, and she needs my help to find everyone who was behind it. She wants revenge." "Revenge?" I sneered, a dark, cold feeling washing over me. "She wants revenge for a woman who isn't even dead! Lisa is upstairs right now, sleeping in my bed!" "I know!" Duncan said quickly. "I know that! But Fiona doesn't know that! She thinks Lisa was murdered! That's why she finally came out of the shadows after hiding for years! She gave up her entire life to protect Lisa, and now that she believes her sister is dead, she has nothing left to lose!

    Vincent's POV "Because..." Duncan choked out, sounding like he was about to cry from pure stress. "Because I knew her, Father. Before the prison fire. Before I got framed by Christopher. Seven years ago... I knew her." "You... you knew her?" I repeated, my brain completely refusing to process the words. "How?! Where?!" "I met her years ago... back when I was still living as Lucian," Duncan started to explain, his voice trembling badly. He continued: “Before I got framed by Christopher and ended up in jail. Before I became your deadly enforcer. I was staying in that safehouse overseas for months. Do you remember that safehouse, Father?" “Yes, I remember,” I said, my jaw clenching tight. “You said you wanted to stay there until I stopped pressuring you to settle down and choose a woman.” "There was a woman staying in that same safehouse with me," Duncan whispered. "She was a runaway. She was so terrified, and constantly looking over her shoulder like someone was trying to kill h
