Chapter 90 – Matthew at 17
publish date:
2026-06-15 00:10:04Time had passed like a fast and silent river. It seemed like yesterday Matthew was running through the house with Nolah in his arms, and now, at seventeen, he was already taller than Zion, with broad shoulders inherited from Elias and a gaze that blended Zion’s fiery intensity, Luka’s cold precision, and Elias’s lethal calm. He was the living result of what we had built: love, trauma, protection, and freedom intertwined.

Love At Sea Chapter 119 — The Opening Ceremony
Some wore clothes worn thin by time, others carried in their posture and eyes the invisible marks of the hardships that life in the periphery imposes on the young. But all of them shared the same expression of anticipation mixed with a hint of disbelief—as if they couldn’t fully believe that this place was truly for them, that no one would kick them out, that there was no hidden catch.A girl of about twelve, her hair braided with colorful ribbons, stopped in front of the mural that decorated one of the side walls. The artwork depicted human figures in motion—some falling, others rising, all connected by lines suggesting mutual support. In the center, in letters that looked lovingly hand-drawn, was the phrase that had become the unofficial motto of the Academy: “True strength isn’t in never falling, but in knowing how to lift the next person up.”“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Zion appeared beside the gi
Love At Sea Chapter 118 — The Academy Expands
The Birth of a Multiplied DreamThe scent of fresh paint and new rubber hung in the morning air like a tangible promise. Elias Carvalho stood at the center of the newly renovated warehouse, hands clasped behind his back, his eyes slowly sweeping over every detail of the space that, just six months earlier, had been an abandoned storage facility on the outskirts of the South Zone. Now the walls proudly displayed the same shade of blue that characterized the original unit of the Shield Academy, contrasting beautifully with the black mats that covered nearly the entire expanse of the polished concrete floor.The golden light of the Saturday morning filtered through the large hinged windows, drawing luminous rectangles that seemed to map out territories of possibility. At the back of the hall, painted with strong, precise strokes, was the Shield Academy logo: a stylized crest protecting an incandescent flame—a symbol that had become synonymous with h
Love At Sea Chapter 117 — Matthew and Claire
The house was quiet that sunny Saturday afternoon. The sea in the background seemed calmer than usual, as if the universe itself were holding its breath.Matthew paced back and forth in the bedroom, his heart beating so hard he swore the sound was echoing off the walls. At nineteen, he was already a man—tall, strong, with the striking features inherited from his three fathers and his mother’s expressive eyes. But in that moment, he felt sixteen again, nervous and vulnerable.Claire.It had always been Claire.Since they were children running around the house, since she defended him when the other kids mocked his “different” family, and since he realized that what he felt for her went far beyond friendship or sibling affection. He loved her. Deeply, quietly, overwhelmingly.And today he was going to tell her.They had arranged to meet at the private deck overlooking the sea, a place that had always belonged to them. Cl
Love At Sea Chapter 116 — The Ritual of Fire
The late afternoon brought a subtle shift in energy. As the sun began its descent toward the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and violet, Elias appeared with firewood and matches.“Closing ritual,” he announced, without excessive ceremony. “Each of us writes what we want to leave behind. Or what we want to promise going forward. Then we burn it.”He handed out papers and pens with the seriousness of someone who knew certain moments called for solemnity.“It doesn’t have to be anything grand,” he explained. “It can be a single word, a phrase, a terrible drawing. The point is that it’s real.”The silence that followed was dense and meaningful. Each of them got lost in their own thoughts, pens moving across the paper in different rhythms. Maeve wrote without overthinking, letting her hand move before her mind could edit. When she finished, she folded the paper without rereading it&mdash
Love At Sea Chapter 115 – The Last Day in Paradise
The golden morning light filtered through the linen curtains, casting soft patterns across the villa’s ceiling. Maeve was the first to wake, and for a long moment she remained still, absorbing every detail of that instant: the scent of salt and sun-warmed wood, the rhythmic sound of the waves like a gentle breath, the comforting weight of the three bodies around her. Luka slept behind her, one protective arm draped over her waist, while Zion lay on his stomach beside her, his dreadlocks spread across the pillow like roots seeking soil. Elias, at the edge of the bed, kept his feet tangled with hers—an unconscious habit he had developed over the last few days.Last day. The words settled in her chest without the devastating weight she had expected. Instead of sadness, there was a sharpened awareness, a special kind of attention reserved for precious things that are about to change forever. She wanted to savor every second, to etch every sensation into her memory.
Love At Sea Chapter 114 — The Second Day: Depth and Healing
I woke up with my body still sore from the night before, but it was a good kind of ache—the sort that reminds you you’re alive. The sun had barely risen when Elias pulled me onto the deck. He didn’t say a word. He simply offered his hand, like he always did when words weren’t enough. I followed him.The air was fresh and salty, carrying that scent of the sea that fills your lungs and cleans you from the inside out. He unrolled two yoga mats on the wooden deck, positioned to face the horizon. He sat first, legs crossed, spine straight, as if the world could collapse and he would still remain upright. I sat facing him.“Just breathe,” he murmured.We started slowly. Simple movements, stretches guided by his large, calloused hands. Every touch was precise, but never clinical. It was Elias. He wasn’t just teaching the body — he was teaching the weight we carry without realizing it.In the middle of the sequence,
Love At Sea Chapter 66 – The Decision of the Three
The house was wrapped in a heavy, almost reverent silence, as if even the walls knew that something definitive was being decided that night.Matthew and Claire were sleeping deeply in the boy’s room. After the traumatic rescue, Matthew had violent nightma
Love At Sea Chapter 65 – The Traitor Identified
Luka hadn’t slept in thirty-six hours.The office had transformed into a chaotic command center. The curtains were drawn, the lights low, and the air was heavy with the smell of cold coffee, sweat, and contained fury. Four monitors flickered nonstop, line
Love At Sea Chapter 64 – After the Storm
The trip back felt like it lasted an eternity, even though the clock showed less than two hours. Elias’s SUV cut through the dark road with the headlights low, as if even the light were afraid of drawing attention. Inside the car, the silence was dense, almost sacred—the
Love At Sea Chapter 63 – The Hunt
We didn’t warn Declan.We didn’t warn anyone.This wasn’t an organization operation. It wasn’t a clean mission with reinforcements and protocols. It was something much more visceral, much more dangerous.
