Summer's POV

I turned, bracing myself for Taylor to be attached to his side like usual, but it was just Brooks, hands in his pockets, that familiar easy smile already tugging at his mouth.

"Hey," he said, falling into step beside me like we did this every day. "I've been trying to get a hold of you."

"Sorry, things have been busy."

"You never replied to my text. The one about the engagement party." He tilted his head, studying me the way he'd studied me a thousand times before, like I was a

    The dust was still floating in the air from the broken wall when a slim figure in armor stepped calmly through the jagged hole. Kayla stood on the second-floor landing, her cold eyes scanning the big room below. Then she jumped over the marble railing and dropped two full stories, landing without a sound like it was nothing. Kenan laughed loudly from the middle of the foyer, turning away from the shocked twins. "You really thought you were so smart, huh?" he sneered, straightening his fancy jacket. "We knew Sergey was dead before we even got to the gate. And we knew his kids had teamed up with Player 001 right away." Kayla stepped closer, staring straight at Ara, who was slowly pushing herself up off the floor. "Hand over the flash drive with the NexMind files, Ara," she said flatly. "You don’t have enough health left to survive this." Ara’s hand moved to her pocket without thinking. Right before Kayla had smashed her through the wall, she’d quickly hidden the drive there. She spa

    The warehouse felt too quiet after the chaos of their escape. Ronan pushed through the heavyweight door and the whole room seemed to hold its breath. Daniel stood at the whiteboard, chalk in hand, sketching timelines and flowcharts. Ara sat on a crate in the corner, focused on tightening her boot laces. She glanced up for a split second when Ronan entered, then looked away. Silas leaned against the board with his arms crossed, shooting daggers at Ronan. Ronan ignored the glare. "What do we have?" Silas didn’t wait for Daniel. "While some people were busy taking personal time in the back rooms, I did actual work. NexMind’s big fortress isn’t their only site. There’s a smaller research annex right here in the city. Off the books. That’s where they’re finishing the final strain of the virus." Daniel nodded. "Power usage and waste systems confirm it. They’re still running at full capacity." "And I traced the money," Silas added, tapping the board. "It leads straight to Sergey Smirnov

    "Daniel, step on it! They’re gaining on us!" Silas screamed, his fingers digging into the dashboard as he looked back through the shattered rear window in panic. Behind them, the dark industrial area lit up with the bright headlights of three sleek black NexMind security SUVs. The heavy vehicles tore through the tall grass, quickly closing the gap. "I’m stepping on it!" Daniel yelled back, arms straining as he yanked the big steering wheel hard to the left. The engine roared and vibrated under their feet. "This is a slow utility tractor, Silas! It only goes about twenty-five miles per hour and was built for warehouses, not racing through muddy fields!" "Well, drive smarter!" Silas barked. He leaned way out the side to keep an eye on the headlights. "If they ram us, this whole cab is going to collapse!" Daniel gritted his teeth and fought with the gear stick, swerving the clumsy tractor between rusted containers and piles of concrete, trying to lose the SUVs. It didn’t last long.

    The sleek sports car rolled to a stop just outside the tall concrete walls of the Smirnov estate. The police lights were long gone, and the big driveway sat in thick, heavy darkness. At the main iron gate, Milana glanced over at the passenger seat, her face tense."Ara, you gotta hide in the back footwell right now," she whispered. "The guards are still on high alert. If they spot a third person in here, the whole gate will lock down."Ara gave a quick nod. She tucked her big blade away into her inventory, then squeezed into the tight space behind the seats. She lay flat on the floor and pulled a dark tarp over herself to stay hidden.Maksim lowered the driver’s window as the heavy gate hummed open. The estate guards walked up, shining their flashlights inside, but when they saw the twins, they didn’t bother searching the car. The coupe rolled smoothly up the long driveway toward the big white mansion.Once they parked in the circular courtyard, the twins moved fast. They pulled the r

"I thought I did reply," I lied, smooth enough that it barely stung on the way out. "My bad. Of course I'll help. You know I'm good at this stuff." "The best." He grinned, relieved, and something in my chest twisted at how easy it was for him, how none of this cost him anything at all. "Come grab lunch with me? Taylor's stuck in the library working on notes for our class, so I'm free. We can start talking about colors, venues, wha

    Arianna's Pov By the time I knew what was happening, Nikolai crossed the room in three tides, cornering me, my back hitting the wall with a full force, his left hand on my waist, the right one resting on my neck deliberately. His lips found mine like he had been hungry for this, and had waited

    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

  • Lovely Little Liar    Chapter 1

    Arianna's Pov The first thing I noticed when I woke up that morning was Noah's breathing. It was wet and sounded like he was having difficulty breathing. I pressed my hand to his forehead, and the heat burning through my palm confirmed what I already feared. He was running a fever. "Mama." His
