Elias POV

By the time I reached her, my fists were already flying. One of Volkov’s men went down with a crack to the jaw. Another staggered back when my elbow drove into his ribs. I didn’t think. I didn’t calculate. I moved on instinct—rage guiding every step.

“How dare you!”

One of them reached for me.

Bad move.

I slammed him into the wall hard enough to rattle the frame. He slid down, groaning. The last man barely had time to raise his hands before my fist met his face. He collapsed onto the

  • In the arms of two sins   Chapter 97

    Andrea's Pov The first thing I felt was the pounding in my skull. It was a heavy thud that made the back of my eyes ache. I forced them open, squinting against the harsh overhead lights of my own bedroom. The floral wallpaper and the familiar scent of my vanilla candles felt like a dream. "Andrea? Can you hear me?"I turned my head slowly, my neck feeling stiff and heavy. Camille was sitting on the edge of my bed, her face a mask of worry. I blinked, trying to clear the fog from my brain. The last thing I remembered was the sting at my neck and Halter’s face blurring as I fell."How... how did I get here?" I whispered, my voice sounding like it was coming from the bottom of a well.Camille let out a long breath, smoothing the duvet over my legs. "Your father called. He said you had come by his place and suddenly felt weak. He was worried, so he had one of his drivers bring you home. You’ve been out for hours."I let out a dry, bitter laugh that turned into a cough. Weak? He had drug

    Andrea's Pov His hand was warm against my cheek as he whispered a thank you. I didn't lean into the touch. I pulled back, my eyes searching his. The blue pills had brought some color back to his pale face, but he still looked like a man who was walking on a thin wire."You’re shifting away from the question, Dad," I said, my voice low and steady. "Were you poisoned? Is that what those pills are for?"Halter let out a long, weary sigh. He didn't look at me. "I would always protect you, Andrea. You and Camille. No matter what it costs me."I felt annoyed. This man was not ready to talk.There was something in the way he said it—a finality that made my heart jump. It sounded like a goodbye. "Why are you talking like you’re dying?" I asked, my voice rising. "Stop saying things like that. If you're sick, we can get you to a real hospital. We can find a doctor who will treat you. Does mom even know about this?."Halter let out a dry, hacking scoff. "So you really do care about me, after e

    Andrea's PovEvery time I saw Elias, the words I had practiced for days seemed to dissolve in my throat. I needed to tell him about Halter—about the embezzlement, the Scott Enterprise connection, and the threat on his life. But since he and Mara had returned to the mansion yesterday, I couldn't find a single moment where he wasn't shielded by her presence. I had tried to approach him, but seeing them together, the way he looked at her with a softness he never showed me made a cold knot of jealousy tighten in my chest. Even Mother was making things difficult. She had caught me roaming near Elias’s room and dragged me into a corner, her eyes flashing with a warning."What are you doing, Andrea?" she had hissed. "I told you to stay away from him. Don't go spilling our secrets to a man who would throw us on the street the second he knows the truth.""I wasn't... I just needed to ask him about something," I had stammered, my heart racing." The Andrea I know doesn't as Elias something,” S

    Elias’ PovShe sat on the edge of the table after, her eyes searching mine with a look that was almost painfully soft. She reached out, her fingers grazing my cheek, and I felt the last of the tension from the day begin to drain away. It was a relief that felt like finally being able to breathe after being underwater for too long. Knowing she didn't judge me—even after the mess I had made with the doctor's granddaughter, was the only thing keeping me upright."I know the pain you're carrying," she whispered, her voice very warm. "I know what it feels like to lose everyone close to you. I wasn't angry because I didn't understand. I was angry because you were acting like someone you're not. You were acting out of proportion, and it scared me."I leaned into her hand, closing my eyes. "It was killing me. When grandma died. When I thought you had turned against me. I felt like I was losing the only thing that made sense."She pulled me closer, her touch giving me a sense of hope I hadn't

  • In the arms of two sins   Chapter 93

    Elias’s PovI sat in my office for a long time, my mind on different thoughts. I had lost three of the most important people in my life in what felt like a blink of an eye. My father was gone. Philip was gone. And now, Grandmother was gone too. The grief was a cold weight in my chest, but the anger was what kept me moving. It was a dark thing that told me I had to become a monster to catch the people who did this. But then I thought of Mara. I thought of the way she had looked at me with a mixture of fear and disappointment. She looked at me as if I were the villain. Maybe she was right. Maybe I shouldn't be a monster like them just to exert my revenge. If I lost my soul in the process of hunting them, what would I have left when it was all over? I let out a long, shaky breath and grabbed my car keys, leaving for the garage. I was about to get in when I saw Andrea. "What are you doing here?" I asked.She looked disturbed, her fingers fumbling with the strap of her bag. "I... Elias

    Andrea's PovMother lunged forward, pressing her palm firmly over my mouth to stifle any further sound. Her eyes were wide, darting toward the door as if she expected the entire household to be listening through the keyhole.She stood up, and turned the lock on the door. When she sat back down on the edge of the mattress, her hands were trembling."What did you just say? Who told you that?" she whispered, her voice barely audible."Dad," I repeated. The word feeling like poison in my tongue. "He killed Philip, Mom. And he isn't going to stop there. He told me to my face that Elias is the next one on his list."She gripped my shoulders, her nails digging into my skin "Andrea, who told you all of this? Halter didn't kill Philip. What are you saying? Since when did you start talking to your father again?"The guilt I had been carrying for months finally spilled over. I couldn't hold it back anymore. "I hated the fact that you were getting married. I wanted Philip for myself, and I was d

I turned my attention back to Mara, whose small frame seemed to vibrate with a tension she was trying desperately to hide.

I stood before Mark's grave, staring into the air.For days, a disturbing hole had been carved into my heart. I looked down at the single
