Jason gave a faint smile and said,“You don't want to know Vanessa.”

Vanessa was even more curious about him, but she was not satisfied with his answer.

She studied him in silence. She didn’t know much about Jason they had only just met, but she couldn’t deny it was nice, how he hadn’t hesitated to put Elvis in his place for her.

Thanks to him, Elvis wouldn’t be bothering her again so she was thankful.

She wanted to thank him. But then she thought: wait! What was there to thank him for? Even without Jason she would have gotten rid of Elvis with smith royale security.

Plus she did not want him to get the wrong idea. He might think she is now accepting of him.

She crossed her arms and gave him a pointed look. “You didn’t have to go that far, I could have handled it on my own.”

Jason’s smirk didn’t fade. “Didn’t I? Or did you have it under control all this time?”

His tone was calm, but there was something in his eyes, amusement, maybe even challenge.

Vanessa wasn’t sur

    Jason nodded, thankful at their willingness to help, “Walk me through it," Jason said, his voice carefully controlled. "Step by step. What exactly did you say to him, and what exactly did he say back?"Klaus moved to the leather couch, sitting on the edge like he was ready to bolt at any second. Jagua remained standing, too wired to sit."We went to his office," Klaus began. "Both of us. We figured there was safety in numbers, and we wanted him to take us seriously. We told him we had concerns about Remus's death. That the official story didn't add up.""We were careful," Jagua interjected. "We didn't accuse him of anything. Not at first. We just said we thought there were inconsistencies that needed to be investigated."Klaus nodded. "And for maybe five seconds, he was calm. Almost too calm. Then he asked us where we'd gotten this information. Who we'd been talking to.""We told him we'd done our own investigation," Jagua continued. "That Remus was like a brother to us, we had a righ

    Jason didn't say anything, letting them continue. Klaus walked into the house, sighing audibly. “Yeah and he didn't like it.”Jagua took it from there, “I think the better word is he lost it. Started throwing accusations. He said we killed Remus and we're now accusing him, because we were trying to take over the Syndicate.” He let out a dry, humorless laugh. “So yeah. Now we’re the bad guys. A whole damn organization’s after us.”Jason questioned them. "Can you explain in detail? What happened? What did he say exactly?""That's the thing," Klaus said. His jaw was tight. "He didn't really say anything. The firs reaction wasn't to defend himself, like a normal or innocent person would. You know, innocent people, they try to show that they are innocent. But Kairos, though, he just got defensive. Angry. Started making accusations right back at us. Like he was cornered."Jagua nodded. "I know it was dumb to confront him. Trust me, I know. But we just wanted to give him a chance. Wanted hi

    As he moved through his house. The place was huge. Sprawling. All polished marble floors and designer furniture and modern art on the walls. An infinity pool outside that seemed to blend into the horizon. It was the kind of luxury most people only saw in magazines, but to Jason it was just regular. The eclipse syndicate, Kairos had given him all this. Had given him everything. The training, the skills, the purpose. The luxury, and a life that meant something.Jason made his way to the kitchen. The space was all clean lines and expensive appliances. Just so he could take his mind off things, he went through the motions of making coffee. Grinding the beans, measuring the water, watching the dark liquid drip into the cup. But when it was done, he just stared at it. Didn't drink it. Couldn't because he had no appetite. His phone buzzed on the granite countertop.It was Jagua calling him. He was in no mood to talk with them and have them yet, so he ignored the call and let it ring for

    Was she even alive? Did she know he existed?Or had Kairos been telling the truth? Had she really wanted to forget him?That thought felt worse than anything else. Jason never really showed it, but the truth was that, the idea that somewhere out there, he might have a mother who chose to walk away. Who decided he wasn't worth remembering, always made him feel some sort of anger. Jason closed his eyes as he tried to go to sleep. However, sleep wouldn't come. His mind kept circling back to that study, to twelve-year-old him standing before Kairos's desk, accepting what might be a myth as truth.He'd been so easy to convince. So desperate to belong somewhere. To someone.And Kairos had known that. Had used it.Maybe.Jason didn't know anymore. He didn't know anything. He should trust Kairos and have no major reason to not trust him, up until today a few hours ago when his friends told him about their suspicion of Kairos. So he couldn't say for real that he knew if this was the truth or

    After Jason had asked him that question, Kairos was silent for a long moment.He stood up from his chair, walked around the desk, and placed a heavy hand on Jason's shoulder. The weight of it felt grounding. Absolute."Your father was a legend within the Syndicate," he said, his voice low and steady. "A ghost. The best we ever had. He died serving a cause greater than any one man." He knelt down, bringing his eyes level with Jason's. "He entrusted you to me. To the Syndicate. Your mother... she was not part of this life. It was safer for her to be away from it. To be forgotten."He didn't offer a name. He didn't offer a story. He offered a myth. An identity that could help him find his mom. "You are a son of the Eclipse Syndicate," Kairos had told him, his gaze steady and assuring, like a stoic father to a son. "This is your family. This is your mother, your father, your blood. Never forget that."And Jason hadn't. He'd accepted it. He'd taken the story and built his entire world on

    Jason's hands tightened on the steering wheel. A party. A celebration of their engagement, which was built on something he didn't trust anymore. If Kairos was what Klaus and Jagua said he was, and if Kairos was the one who'd set up this whole thing with Vanessa, then Jason didn't know if he wanted to keep going with it.But at the same time, he was starting to actually like Vanessa. Not just because Kairos wanted him to. Because he really did want to be with her."I told them we need to discuss it first," Vanessa continued. Her voice got stronger, more determined. "I told them I don't want them to just push you into another one of their shows. This is about us, not them. So I wanted to ask if that's something you'd even want. And if we do it, we do it on our terms."He was quiet, trying to process what she'd said. She was standing up for him. For them. She wasn't treating this engagement like some business deal or obligation. She was treating it like a real partnership. She was trying
