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?"
Living With the Boy Who Hated Me Burning Brinkley
Aya's POV"And Jamey is still inside."For one second, I couldn't understand the words.Jamey.My brother.Brinkley Estate.Fire.Then everything hit me at once."No."I grabbed the Raven's phone."Who told you that?""One of my people outside the estate.""Is he sure Jamey's there?""Yes."My chest tightened."Why?"Dad answered before anyone else could."He went back for me."I turned toward him."What?"Dad's face filled with guilt."Before Lucien's people took me, I called Jamey.""Why would you do that?""I didn't know they were already watching us."He swallowed."I told him I'd found something Eleanor left behind."The key.The third part of Mom's evidence."You sent him to Brinkley?""I told him where to find it.""Dad!""I thought it was safe!""Nothing connected to this family has been safe!"The words came out harsher than I intended.Dad flinched.Immediately, I regretted them.But there was no time.Callum stepped between us."We can fight later."He looked at the Raven.
Living With the Boy Who Hated Me The Raven Returns
Aya's POV"Federal Bureau of Investigation! Drop your weapons!"Gunfire exploded through the maternity wing.Callum grabbed me around the waist and pulled me behind an overturned hospital bed."Down!"Bullets ripped through the walls.Glass shattered.The nine masked Council members scattered as armed agents stormed through the opening in the wall.Detective Cruz immediately raised her badge."Police! Friendly!""Hands where we can see them!""I'm Detective Elena Cruz!"One of the agents recognized her."Secure the civilians!"Victoria Benefactor didn't run.She stood in the middle of the chaos as if bullets belonged to another world.Then she smiled."You think this is a rescue?"My stomach dropped."Cruz!"Too late.One of the supposed federal agents turned his weapon toward Detective Cruz.Subject Zero moved first.He slammed into her, knocking her aside.The bullet struck the wall where her head had been."Those aren't federal agents!" Callum shouted.Chaos erupted again.The Coun
Living With the Boy Who Hated Me The Greatest Lie
Aya's POVThe world seemed to stop.No one spoke.No one even blinked.The elderly woman's words echoed through the abandoned maternity wing."His name... is written on your original birth certificate."My pulse pounded in my ears."What are you talking about?"The woman smiled with unsettling calm."My name is Victoria Benefactor.""The Chairwoman of the Benefactor Council."She looked around the room."Though I suppose introductions are unnecessary.""You've all spent twenty-three years chasing us."Detective Cruz stepped forward."You've got nowhere left to run."Victoria laughed softly."My dear Detective...""I've never had to run."She gestured toward the nine masked figures behind her."We built the roads.""We funded the police.""We elected the politicians.""We opened the hospitals.""And when necessary...""...we buried the truth."Silence settled over the room.Callum's jaw tightened."So this has never been about one family."Victoria nodded."Exactly.""The Benefactors w
Living With the Boy Who Hated Me The Benefactor Council
Aya's POVThe hospital shook again.Dust drifted from the cracked ceiling as another explosion echoed outside.The emergency lights flickered, casting long shadows across the abandoned maternity wing.Ramirez stared at the tablet in disbelief.The red dots surrounding the hospital kept multiplying.One hundred.Then one hundred and twelve.Then one hundred and twenty."They're still coming," he said.Detective Cruz looked over his shoulder."They've surrounded every exit."Richard clenched his fists."They're not here to negotiate.""No," Helena replied quietly."They're here to erase everything."Callum instinctively moved closer to me.His jaw tightened as he looked toward the windows."We're trapped."Subject Zero slowly walked toward the center of the room."They've been waiting for this day.""What is the Benefactor Council?" I asked.He stopped."They're the people who kept Lucien's empire alive after everyone believed he was dead.""How many members are there?" Detective Cruz a
Living With the Boy Who Hated Me Subject Zero
Aya's POVThe footsteps stopped outside the room.Silence swallowed the maternity wing.Everyone instinctively held their breath.Detective Cruz raised her pistol toward the doorway.Callum moved beside me, shielding me with his body despite the pain in his shoulder.Evelyn stood frozen.Her face had gone completely pale."No..." she whispered."It can't be."Helena slowly backed away from the doorway."It is."The hospital door creaked open.A man stepped inside.He looked no older than thirty.Tall.Well-built.Dressed in a black suit with no tie.His dark hair was neatly combed, and his gray eyes calmly studied every person in the room.He didn't look dangerous.He looked ordinary.That was the terrifying part.His expression carried no anger.No hatred.No excitement.Only complete calm.His gaze settled on Helena."You've grown old."Helena's breathing became uneven."So have you."The man smiled."No.""I stopped aging a long time ago."Richard frowned."What kind of nonsense is
