Chapter Twenth Eight

Aria’s POV

“Julian… they’re here.”

His voice, low and steady, sounded miles away in the chaos. My chest tightened as I stepped into the flickering streetlight, rain plastering my hair to my forehead.

silhouettes emerged through the downpour, three figures, dark and rigid, insignia of the Initiative’s black lightning etched into their coats.

I fingered the holo‑drive hidden beneath my dress. It pulsed with a dangerous promise, my mother’s voice, waiting to resurface.

I swallowed hard, ground wet beneath my boots.

“Stay behind me,” Julian cautioned, his hand firm on the small of my back.

His touch felt like an anchor, but I could feel the tremor in his fingers. I looked at him, the man I loved, wounded but determined, and felt both feral and fragile.

The lead operative inched forward, pistol trained at us. Raindrops mapped the path of the barrel as it followed my gaze.

“Aria Monroe,” he said, voice through rain. “You are ordered to surrender the vault drive or face

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   Somewhere Between Control and Collapse

    Chapter Twenty SevenJulian’s POV“I don’t trust her,” I said flatly, my voice low but firm.Aria didn’t flinch. She stood by the cracked window, moonlight slicing across her bare shoulder. Her arms crossed, lips parted, a quiet defiance building in her stare.“She’s the only person who’s told me the truth so far,” she shot back.I exhaled through my nose, jaw tight. The woman she was talking about, Celeste, had appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be one of her mother’s old confidantes. Former scientist. Former ghost. Now conveniently reemerging with answers I wasn’t sure Aria was ready to hear.“She knows things about me, Julian. Things no one else could’ve..”“That’s the point,” I interrupted. “She knows too much.”Aria turned fully toward me, hair tumbling forward as she moved. Her body was tense, but her voice was calmer than I expected. Measured. Dangerous.“You said you’d protect me. But that doesn’t mean you get to decide who I talk to.”Her words landed like a blade pressed a

    Chapter Twenty SixAria’s POVPain, then silence.My lungs gasped as dust and debris settled around me. I lay in the wreckage of the theater, the roar of the storm outside muffled by concrete, twisted steel, and dripping water.Everything burned.I hurt.Sharp shards of wood pressed into my ribs. My throat felt on fire. The taste of blood was copper on my tongue. I couldn’t move. But I remembered.Julian’s fingers, warm and fierce on my wrist. His voice trembling, then roaring my name. The explosion.I coughed, convulsing, and spat dust rings into blackness. My chest tightened. But I was alive.I pushed up, arms shaking, head pounding like thunder. Light flickered through a hole in the ceiling, electric white, pulsing. I swallowed past the kick of pain and turned.Where was he?Rubble lay between me and the exit. Flames lit pockets of shadow across the broken seats.I tasted fear as I dug my fingernails into concrete. Every breath burned.It took effort, every scrap of momentum I had

    Chapter Twenty Five Julian’s POVShe stood in the ghost of a ruined theater, shoulders stiff, rain clinging to her hair like silver threads. The shattered screen behind her loomed like a cathedral window, watching us.My boots scraped wet marble. I stopped a few feet away. Close enough to feel the heat of her breath, not close enough to touch her. Not yet.“Julian.”My name trembled out of her mouth, not broken, not angry, just… raw. Like something she’d been holding in for too long.I swallowed hard. “You have it. Don’t you?”She nodded and turned slowly. In her palm was the holo-drive Elliot had given me. The one that was supposed to unlock everything. Or undo everything.Dr. Monroe’s voice was in that device.Her voice. The woman who rebuilt me, the one who made sure Aria would be the key to waking me up and maybe the key to destroying me too.Aria stared at it like it was poison. Her fingers trembled.“I didn’t want to open it alone,” she said.Her voice was stronger now, lined w

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   Lies That Built Me

    Chapter Twenty FourJulian’s POVThe tunnel smelled like rust, wet metal, and time, all decaying into each other.The man ahead of me moved with the certainty of someone who knew every inch of the underground. His footsteps were silent on the gravel, but I kept mine loud. I wanted him to know I was still behind him. Still watching. Still deciding if I’d put a bullet between his shoulder blades.We turned a sharp corner. Fluorescent emergency strips blinked dimly on the low ceiling, some flickering, some dead. The light cast his shadow in long, stuttering lines across the corridor walls.I cleared my throat. “What did you mean when you said I wasn’t supposed to wake up again?”He didn’t turn. “Exactly what it sounds like.”“Then you’d better make it sound better,” I snapped. “Or I’m walking out.”He paused at a service door and keyed in an old code on a rusted panel. The door buzzed, then clicked open. Warm air rushed out, thick with ozone and faint electricity. I followed him in a nar

  • In Lust with my Sexy Boss   The Weight of Her Name

    Chapter Twenty ThreeJulian’s POV“Target reacquired. Elevation drop detected. Adjusting route.”The synthetic voice sliced through the night as the drone banked left, engines pulsing with menace.I didn’t look back.“Come on, you bastards,” I muttered, sprinting down the skeletal remains of what used to be a skywalk. “You wanted me? You got me.”My boots hit the metal grating with heavy clangs, each step vibrating through my spine. The wind whipped hard against my jacket, slicing through the seams like tiny razors. My chest burned. But I didn’t slow down.Below, flashes of red lit the shattered street, scanning in waves. A misstep, one moment too long in the open, and it would lock on.The voice returned, no longer mechanical.“She’s not the one we want, Julian.”I skidded to a stop.Not a drone. Not a recording.This was live.“You hear that?” I said aloud, panting. “You don’t get to decide that anymore.”I darted right through the remains of a collapsed corridor, the ceiling cracke
