The Knife’s Edge

Damian’s POV

No one moved for a moment.

As Eliot walked through the door, the room held its breath. He looked at me first, then quickly back to Aaron. There were a lot of unsaid words and silent suspicion in the air between the three of us.

Elliot's shoulders straightened, but I could tell from the way his hand was shaking that he wasn't ready for what he was about to face. He was full of questions in his eyes.

"What's going on here?” He asked with a sharp but calm voice.

I opened my mouth to talk, but Aaron spoke before me.

"Well, that's a big question," Aaron said with a smooth, hurtful smile.

Eliot clenched his teeth. “Save that for yourself. Why are you here?"

He didn't sound surprised when he asked. Instead he looked like he was in a tight spot.

Aaron smiled and took a few steps toward him. "You know, for someone who keeps his past so secret, you're really easy to guess."

Eliot's whole body tensed up.

As I looked at Aaron's cocky smile and Eliot's tense fa

    Elliot's Freedom Damian’s POVThe coffee mug slipped through my fingers and shattered against the kitchen floor.I wasn't startled by the TV sound. But by the headline displaying on the TV screen. It was bold, blaring, impossible to miss:BREAKING NEWS: Blake Bennett had confessed his involvement in his brother's arrest.Video Confession Airs Across National Broadcast.My jaw dropped, and I stood motionless in one place.Even though the anchor's voice was calm and collected, every word hit hard as she read the news detail: “Earlier this morning, an unknown source leaked video of tech mogul Blake Bennett admitting to setting up the arrest of his brother, Eliot Bennett. The video, which has already been checked to make sure it is real, shows conversations, planned attacks, and clear attempts to sabotage Eliot's career and reputation. So therefore Eliot Bennett is here by ajed to be release after his innocence had been confirmed by the story. Here is a peak of the video footage.”I gri

    The Turning PointLila’s POVThe night had gone silent, too silent.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the glowing screen of my phone, waiting for Damian’s name to came up. Eliot’s lawyer should have gotten the evidence by now. I had been pacing the room, then sat and paced again. But now I was frozen. My heart thudded like a slow drum, counting the seconds that wouldn't go by.When my phone rang, I picked it up right away.“Damian?” My voice cracked.He didn’t even say hello. He just breathed into the phone, you know one of those exhausted, wounded exhales that told me everything before he spoke.“It’s gone,” he said, after a long pause.“What is gone?”“The flash drive. It never made it.”For a split of second, I didn’t understand what he just said. My brain refused to process it.“What do you mean by it didn’t make it?” I asked, my voice rising slightly.Leo’s voice echoed faintly in the background. It came fast, angry, and panicked while damian’s voice was quieter.“it was s

    Desperate GambleDamian’s POVThe night dragged on like a slow bleed.Leo and I had been in the living room for more than an hour without moving. The only light coming in was from the laptop screen and the soft glow of the city hitting the windows. The air felt heavy—thick with silence and waiting.Standing on the couch edge, Leo held his phone and laptop in each hand. As I stood by the window with my arms crossed, I looked at the city as if it could tell me what to do.“We should’ve heard something by now,” I said, but my voice wasn't as loud as I thought it would be.Leo didn’t look up. “She’s probably double-checking the upload. She will get back to us soon.”I nodded, but my stomach had other ideas. A dull ache had formed inside me since the drive left our hands. And with every minute that passed, the ache spread like poison.As I walked around the room again, my soft steps echoed off the polished wood.“I should’ve gone myself,” I muttered under my breath “And she wouldn’t ha

    The Evidence SwapDamian’s POVThe press conference was everywhere.Both on TV and online. Even the radio hosts were arguing about whether my sudden proposal to Lila was a real thing or just a publicity stunt. It doesn't matter to me what they thought. The noise wasn't for them.The noise was for me to block out the chaos, protect Eliot, and to push Aaron’s threats into the shadows.People forgot half already forgot about Eliot's arrest, because my engagement to Lila was now the talk of the town.And that was all I needed to carry out my plan.Leo tossed a flash drive between his fingers like it was a coin.“One bullet,” he said as he walked over to where I sat slouched on the edge of the leather couch. “And everything goes off.”I caught it in the air. The cool metal bit into my palm. It wasn't as light as it looked.“This is the only copy, right?” I asked.Leo gave me a look. "Please. I'm not new to this. I have back-ups in places that not even you can guess.That should have made

    SmokescreenDamian’s POVI left Aaron standing by that fountain like a ghost.The night air cut through me as I walked with my hands clenched and my anger rising through my skin. I couldn't get rid of the poison in his words.The city was quiet by the time I got back to the penthouse. But everything inside me screamed.I kicked the door shut behind me and dropped my keys on the console. I wasn't even aware of the sound reverberating through the room. My hands were still trembling from Aaron’s final words. His voice haunted every step I took.“And if that is the case. Then I'll make sure he dies in jail." Leo stood next to the bar, typing something on his laptop. As soon as I walked in, he looked up and frowned.“You are late." There was no stress in his words, but the way he put down the laptop showed that he knew something was wrong. “Wanna tell me why you suddenly left without saying anything about your destination?"I didn’t answer. I just walked to the bar cart, poured myself

    Aaron's ObsessionDamian’s POVLong lines of light from the city shone across the marble floor of my penthouse, flickering against the glass like silence alarms.Leo sitting across from me, still messing around with the encrypted drive.The voice recording was ready on the screen in front of us. It was proof that could burn the truth into the world in less than five minutes if we wanted it to. But I hadn’t given Leo the word.I couldn't help but stare at my phone.I could still hear Aaron's voice from our last call. The way he knew what I was about to do. Not only did I have the recording, but that I was preparing to use it.How did he find out? Apart from me, Leo and Lila, no one else knows about this.That meant...I moved around in my seat and made fists with my hands on my legs.Could one of them be feeding him information about my moves?That doesn't make sense. But how else can I explain this?“Leo,” I said, slowly.He raised his eyes from the screen. "Yes?"“Don't send anyth
