I tied my hair into a messy ponytail before opening cabinets and drawers, searching for everything I'd need. Thankfully, whoever stocked this kitchen believed in buying extras because every ingredient was exactly where it should be.

Flour.

Eggs.

Butter.

Milk.

Vanilla.

Chocolate chips.

Perfect.

"I can help," Anita offered as she leaned against the island.

"So can I," Elliot added, already reaching for a mixing bowl.

I smiled.

"I think I've got it."

"You sure?"

  • Living With the Boy Who Hated Me   Eleanor’s Silence

    Aya’s POV“We found Lucien’s insider.”Thomas Hale.The name sat heavily in my mind.For more than twenty-five years, he had been close to the Brinkley family.Their attorney.Their adviser.A man Richard Brinkley trusted enough to give access to accounts, documents, and family matters.And all that time, he had been feeding information to Lucien.Now Helena and Evelyn were his prisoners.Callum stared at the frozen image on my phone.His face had gone cold.“I grew up with that man coming to our house.”I said nothing.“He attended birthdays.”His jaw tightened.“Christmas dinners.”“Callum—”“My father trusted him.”I reached for his hand.“That’s why Lucien chose him.”Callum looked at me.“Trust gave him access.”Margaret nodded.“Exactly.”Detective Cruz approached.“We need to decide quickly. If Hale has Helena and Evelyn at St. Augustine, we can't assume he'll keep them alive.”“He asked for Margaret and the ledger,” Alastair said.“So we give him what he wants?”“No,” Cruz rep

  • Living With the Boy Who Hated Me   The Traitor Inside

    Aya's POVThe lock clicked.Nobody moved.The message remained on my phone.I'M ALREADY INSIDE.Outside, Lucien stood beside the black vehicles.Inside, someone had just locked us in.Callum reacted first.He grabbed the handle and pulled.Nothing."Move."Alastair stepped forward and kicked the door beside the lock.Once.Twice.The wood cracked, but the door held."Again," Callum said."I know how doors work."Under any other circumstances, they probably would have started arguing.Tonight, I was grateful they were both focused on the same enemy.Mara moved toward the window."Lucien's men aren't approaching."I looked outside.She was right.They had formed a perimeter around the cottage.Waiting."Why aren't they coming in?"Margaret's face tightened."Because they don't need to."Callum stopped kicking the door."What does that mean?"Margaret looked toward the ceiling."Listen."At first, I heard nothing.Then—Hissssss.A faint sound came through the air vent.Mara covered her

  • Living With the Boy Who Hated Me   The Woman Who Vanished

    Aya's POVLucien was free.Again.For several seconds, nobody in Room 217 spoke.I still held the phone against my ear."Tina, are you and Jamey safe?""Yes. Police are everywhere.""And Lucien?""They don't know where he went."Detective Cruz immediately reached for her radio."Ask whether anyone was killed."I repeated the question.Tina spoke to someone nearby before returning."No officers were killed. Two were injured."Callum frowned."That doesn't make sense."I looked at him."What?""Lucien escaped an armed convoy without killing anyone?"The Raven's warning came back to me.The Benefactors didn't survive for decades by fighting every institution.They survived by owning pieces of them."He wasn't rescued," Callum said.Detective Cruz's expression hardened."He was released."Helena cursed quietly."The Council still has people inside law enforcement."Dad stepped closer."Then every official channel could be compromised."Cruz looked offended."You can trust me.""I do."Dad

  • Living With the Boy Who Hated Me   What Eleanor Hid

    Aya's POVThe room became painfully quiet.Three folders lay across the table.I stared at them, expecting another revelation that would turn everything I knew upside down.Mara reached for the first folder."Before you open these, understand something."I looked at her."What?""Lucien wanted everyone investigating the Subject Program to become obsessed with identities."Callum frowned."Why?""Because confused people waste time asking who they really are instead of asking what was done to them."The words struck me harder than I expected.For days, that was exactly what had happened.Subject Three.Guardian Protocol.Missing records.Hidden files.Every discovery had made me question another piece of my family.Mara pushed the folders toward me."Eleanor figured that out."I opened the first.There were no photographs of secret siblings.No altered birth certificates.No shocking names.Just reports.I began reading.SUBJECT THREEPRIMARY TARGET: AYA RHODESOBJECTIVE: PSYCHOLOGICAL C

  • Living With the Boy Who Hated Me   The Other Subject Three

    Aya's POVYOU WERE NEVER THE ONLY SUBJECT THREE.I read the message twice.Then a third time.The words didn't change.Callum took the phone from my trembling hand."This could be another lie.""It could.""But you don't believe that."I looked at the photograph again.Room 217 stood open.Inside was Eleanor's metal case.And Mara had somehow opened the room without my key."No."I closed my fingers around the brass key."I think Mom wanted me to find out."The Raven stepped closer."Eleanor wanted that room buried."Dad turned on him."You don't know what Eleanor wanted.""I knew her longer than you think.""And I was her husband."The Raven fell silent.Dad's voice hardened."She trusted me with that key. She told me it belonged to Aya. Not you."The Raven looked at the flames consuming Brinkley Estate."Then she knew this day would come.""Apparently."Detective Cruz approached us."We cannot stay here."Firefighters were finally surrounding the estate. Police vehicles crowded the

  • Living With the Boy Who Hated Me   Room 217

    Aya's POV"The one piece of evidence she never trusted the Raven to see."I stared at Jamey.Behind us, fire roared through Brinkley Estate.Smoke poured into the hidden passage, thick enough to burn my throat.Callum grabbed Jamey's arm and pulled it over his shoulder."We discuss family secrets after we stop burning alive."Another explosion shook the ceiling.That settled it.We moved.Callum supported most of Jamey's weight while I stayed on his other side. His injured ankle dragged with every step.The passage seemed longer than before.Hotter.Then part of the ceiling collapsed behind us."Move!" Callum shouted.We reached the hidden stairs.Smoke covered the library.Flames had swallowed the far wall.I could barely see the exit."Stay low."Callum led us forward.Jamey coughed violently.I tightened my grip on him."Almost there."A burning beam crashed behind us.Heat slammed into my back.Then someone appeared through the smoke.Alastair."What the hell are you doing here?"
