The room had emptied.

Only two guards remained near the door while the technicians continued working at the computers. But the chaos from earlier had faded into something worse.

Silence.

Iris sat on the edge of a chair, staring at the floor.

Someone was looking for me.

The words she'd spoken still echoed in her head. She didn't know why she'd said them. She didn't know where the thought had come from. It had simply appeared. Like a memory she'd forgotten she had.

Her fingers slowly tightened ar

  • Lucifer's angel    Chapter 23: The Date

    Iris didn't move.Her eyes remained fixed on the tiny engraving.The date.Her date.There was no way.She turned the metal piece over in her hand.Nothing.She checked again.Same date.Her birthday.Why would a piece of evidence recovered from an attack on Cassian's mansion carry her birth date?Her thoughts raced.Her father.The hospital.The heart.The symbol.Cassian.None of it made sense.And somehow...It all seemed connected.She pushed herself away from the door.No.She wasn't going to stand here waiting for answers.If Cassian wouldn't give them to her...She'd find them herself.---The hallway was almost empty.Most of the guards had been pulled toward the eastern wing after the explosion.Iris moved quietly.Not sneaking.She didn't need to.After five years in this mansion, she knew every corridor.Every staircase.Every blind spot.She reached the study.The door was slightly open.She stopped.Cassian never left his study open.Not after midnight.Not after an attac

    "We need to talk about the night you were born." Iris stared at him. For a moment, she genuinely wondered if she'd heard him correctly. "My birth?" Cassian stared at her blankly. She looked down at the small piece of metal sitting in her palm. The serpent wrapped around the heart. Then back at him. "You've known about this." "I've known things." Her eyes narrowed. "That's not the same answer." "It is the only one you're getting right now." She scoffed. "Of course." She turned away from him. Five years. Five years of being in this man's house. Five years of following his rules. Five years of being told just enough to keep her alive and never enough to understand why. And apparently... it had all started before she could even remember. "Why didn't you tell me?" Cassian remained silent. She turned back. "Look at me." His eyes lifted to hers. Something about the way he looked at her made her confidence falter for half a second. Not because he was frighteni

    Iris didn't sleep eyes stared half closed at the ceiling. Every time her eyes closed, the same thing happened. Darkness. Then—white. Her eyes snapped open again. She stared at the ceiling. Her breathing was slow. Controlled. She had learned how to control her breathing years ago. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Again. She closed her eyes. Nothing happened. For a few seconds... nothing. Then—a sound. A faint beeping. Beep. Beep. Beep. Her body went completely still. She didn't know that sound. At least... she didn't think she did. Beep. Beep. Beep. Suddenly, the darkness behind her eyelids changed. White walls. Too bright. A ceiling light burning directly above her. Her head felt heavy. Her body felt strangely small. She tried to move. Nothing. A voice came from somewhere beside her. "She's awake." Iris's eyes flew open. She sat upright so quickly the room spun. Her hand pressed against her chest. Her heart was pounding. "No..." She looked around her bedroom. Nothing.

But the chaos from earlier had faded into something worse.Silence.Iris sat on the edge of a chair, staring at the floor.Someone was looking for me.The words she'd spoken still echoed in her head. She didn't know why she'd said them. She didn't know where the thought had come from. It had simply appeared. Like a memory she'd forgotten she had.Her fingers slowly tightened around the fabric of her trousers.She hated that feeling. Not knowing. Not understanding.For five years, she'd trained herself to remember everything. Every face. Every exit. Every weapon. Every lesson Cassian had forced into her head. Nothing was supposed to slip past her.Yet somehow... a symbol had. A voice had. And now a silhouette."You're thinking too loudly."Iris looked up.Cassian stood near the window. His jacket was gone, leaving him in the same dark shirt he'd worn during the attack.

    The room was too quiet. Just the beeping. Soft. Rhythmic. The only proof the monitors were still alive. Iris stood near the doorway, arms crossed, watching. Cassian hadn't moved in almost a minute. Not even when another monitor flickered and went black. The men around him kept working. Low voices. Tight voices. "Firewall's holding on the eastern servers." "We've isolated the breach." "Not completely." "Then isolate it completely." Cassian's voice. Calm. Too calm. He should be angry. He should be something. But he wasn't. He just stood there, staring at the screens like they owed him answers. Iris shifted her weight. Her legs ached. Her wrist was still sore from where he'd grabbed her. She could still feel his fingers there. Like a brand. What are we still doing here? The mansion had been attacked. People were hurt. Maybe dead. Someone had ripped through Cassian's security like it was nothing. And he looked... irritated. Like someone had interrupted his dinner. Not t

    Cassian's grip never loosened around her wrist.He pulled her through the smoke-filled hallway. His strides were long — she stumbled twice just trying to keep up. The floor was slick with something she didn't want to identify.Guards rushed past them so fast that their faces blurred. "Medic!""Secure the west corridor!""We've lost contact with Team Three!"Smoke curled into her nose. She tasted ash at the back of her throat. Her eyes watered and her lungs burned with every breath.She coughed. A wet, hacking sound.Despite her vigorously coughing by his side Cassian didn't stop.‘Where are we going?’‘What is happening?’He didn't answer the questions she couldn't ask out loud.He just shoved open a pair of heavy steel doors. That's when she realised they had made it to another wing of the mansion.The room swallowed them whole.Iris blinked, her vision adjusting.Screens, dozens of them, covering an entire wall from floor to ceiling. Blue light flickering. Images jumping from camer
