Kisses of a HitWoman CHAPTER 55: THE ARCHITECT EMERGES
"Victoria," Elena said. Her voice came out steady but there was something underneath. Something that sounded like understanding dawning too late. "You've been orchestrating this the entire time.""Not orchestrating," Victoria said. She stepped out of the shadows, and Elena saw her for the first time. She looked exactly like Dimitri. Same bone structure. Same eyes. Same particular way of holding herself like the world had been built to accommodate her will. "Correcting. There's a difference."Vera was moving toward Anastasia, but Dr. Sonya stepped in front of her."Your grandmother needs stabilization," Dr. Sonya said flatly. "She needs medical attention. She needs time to understand that thirty-five years have passed and her entire world is different.""My grandmother," Vera repeated. The word sounded foreign in her mouth. "My grandmother who's been in cryo-suspension while her son orchestrated a global criminal empire trying to save her. My grandmother who""Who made a choice," Anast
Kisses of a HitWoman CHAPTER 54: THE SISTER'S LIE
Vera's hands went slack.The chamber dropped three inches before Nikolai caught the weight, his face contorting with the sudden shift in pressure."What did you just say?" Vera demanded. She was moving toward Dr. Sonya Petrov before Elena could grab her arm. Moving with the particular aggression that came from someone whose entire worldview had just shattered. "Victoria doesn't have a sister. Victoria had a brother. Dimitri's son. But not""Not a sister?" Dr. Sonya smiled. It was a smile without warmth. A smile that suggested she'd been waiting thirty-five years to speak a truth that everyone had forced her to hide. "That's what he told you. That's what Dimitri told everyone. But the truth is significantly more complicated.""The truth is that you're lying," Katarina said sharply. She had a weapon drawn now. Elena hadn't even seen her move. The sister who'd protected them their entire life was now protecting them from something that looked like medical salvation. "The truth is that we
Kisses of a HitWoman CHAPTER 53: THE CATHEDRAL CHOICE
The lateral corridor was narrower than Elena expected.And it was flooded.Not dramatically. Not a wall of water that would sweep them away. Just enough standing water to suggest that somewhere above them, the facility's infrastructure had failed. That pipes had ruptured. That the mountain was reclaiming what Dimitri had tried to control."How deep?" Nikolai asked. His arms were still supporting the chamber, and Elena could see the muscles in his shoulders trembling with sustained effort. The twin who'd learned to be human was now being tested in ways that went beyond physical strain."Six inches," Vera said. She'd moved ahead to assess the corridor. "Maybe eight in some places. The water's temperature is cold but not freezing. The chamber can handle water exposure for limited duration.""How limited?" Elena asked."Ten minutes before the seals start compromising," Vera said flatly. She turned back to face them, and Elena could see something shifting in her daughter's expression. Cou
Kisses of a HitWoman CHAPTER 52: THE WEIGHT OF SACRIFICE
Elena's eyes were still on Marco when the first chunk of ceiling hit the ground.She heard it more than saw it. The sound was immense. The kind of sound that suggested something weighing thousands of pounds had just decided gravity mattered more than structure. Behind her, Katarina was already pulling, already moving toward the corridor exit with the kind of urgency that came from understanding that hesitation meant death."Move," Katarina said sharply. Not to Elena. To all of them. To the entire group that was now responsible for moving eight hundred pounds of machinery containing a woman who'd been dead for thirty-five years. "We move now or we don't move at all."Nikolai had already positioned himself at one end of the chamber.His hands were gripping the base with the precision of someone who'd spent his entire life understanding leverage and force distribution. His face was absolutely focused. But Elena could see something else underneath. Could see the particular way his jaw was

"No," Elena said. She was already moving toward Marco, but Katarina grabbed her arm. "We're not doing this. We're not leaving you behind.""You don't have a choice," Marco said. His voice was steady but there was something underneath. Something that sounded like relief. Like he'd been waiting his entire life to make exactly this decision. "I've been bleeding out since the second floor. You know it. I know it. And Vera knows it because Vera's been calculating my survival probability this entire time and coming up with the same number every time.""Zero," Vera said quietly. She wasn't looking at Marco. Was focused on the cryogenic chamber, which was flickering more rapidly now. "Your survival probability has been zero for at least twenty minutes.""Then I'm not sacrificing anything," Marco said. He was smiling, and Elena realized he'd spent thirty years reading people and he was finally being honest about what he saw. "I'm just deciding how my zero gets used."The ceiling crack was spre

The third door wasn't like the others.Vera's hands stopped moving as soon as she approached it. Elena could see her daughter's entire body go rigid. Could see the micro-expression that flickered across Vera's face recognition of something she'd been trained to fear."This one's different," Vera said quietly. She wasn't typing. Wasn't moving toward the panel. Just standing there, staring at the door like it might speak to her if she waited long enough. "This one has a biometric lock. It needs DNA. It needs""Your DNA," Katya said. She'd moved forward without Elena noticing. She was standing beside her sister now, and there was something in her posture that suggested she already knew what was behind this door. "Dimitri built this so that only you could open it.""Why would he do that?" Vera asked. But her voice suggested she already understood. That on some level, she'd always known. "Why would he lock his most important secrets behind something only I could access?""Because you were
