THIRD PERSON

The nurse worked quietly.

She checked the pulse, the blood pressure, and the breathing. The maids stood at the edges of the room. Nikolai stood closer, watching.

When Arianna's eyes opened, the first thing she saw was the nurse's face. The second was Nikolai behind her, still and unreadable.

She thought about the pregnancy.

She became afraid. She was lying here, this woman was checking her, and if she said anything…

    **Chapter 34** Back at the hideout, the air still smelled like sewer water, copper, and wet concrete. Silas groaned as Ara straightened his arm out, trying to work the spasm out of his shoulder. She rinsed a towel in a basin of lukewarm water, wrung it out, and pressed it against the bruise on his bicep. He flinched hard, jaw tight, biting down whatever sound wanted to come out of him. “Sorry,” she muttered, easing off the pressure a little. “It’s fine,” he said, though his voice said otherwise. “Keep going.” Daniel pulled up a crate and sat across from them, his face grim in the low light. “What else did you get out of those players, Silas?

    It took a full day to track down the engineer Dain had mentioned. The wait was brutal, as every tick of the clock felt like a hammer strike. Out in the city, small things kept shifting: security protocols changing, strange power grid flickers, all of it pointing to a system closing in on its final phase. Ara, Ronan, and Dain left for the outskirts early that morning in an unmarked car, trying to stay off the surveillance grid. Daniel and the twins stayed behind, still working every angle they had to get a signal off Silas’s wristband or catch anything coming down from the ship. Back at the safehouse, tension was fraying fast. Maksim leaned against the table, arms crossed, staring at the countdown on the wall display. “Three days,” he said, voice flat and bitter. “Less than two day until day eight, and we don’t even have a confirmed lead. We’re out of time.” Milana looked up from her console. “A little hope wouldn’t kill you, Maksim. Ara and Ronan have something solid. If Ramsd

    Arianna's Pov I stared at him. A second passed, then another. The seconds stretched at the edges because my brain refused to process what it just heard."You're married," I said, not as a question, but to process what I had just heard."I'm aware." He responded like it meant nothing."You're stand
