The city did not welcome them.

Asher sensed it the moment their boots hit shattered asphalt at the edge of a rain-lashed alley in Miradell's center. Buildings loomed too close, too tall, casting long, accusing shadows in the fading afternoon light. Horns blared. Neon signs blinked through rain. People hurried by like whirlpools in a tide, eyes forward, minds elsewhere.

Damien drew his jacket hood on and handed Asher a folded piece of paper, dog-eared and worn from being opened too many times.

"This address—it's where she was last spotted."

Asher took it, his eyes scanning the pale handwriting.

Monica Vance. Former operative. Whistleblower. Ghost.

They walked through narrow alleys, past peeling posters and the drifting aroma of cooked meals from open windows. Asher kept his head bowed, but his eyes were sharp, absorbing everything. He wasn't just searching for threats—he was reading the city, every crack and crevice whisperin

  • Married to my Enemy: A Billionaire's Hidden Love   Blueprints of Betrayal

    Chapter 15: Blueprints of BetrayalThe blue glow surrounded the room.Damien looked at the hologram hovering over the rusted steel table. Coded and schematics churned in the air—neural schematics, spinal mappings, and something evil: the emotional repression grid used in the Empath Nullification Trials."Graves didn't just want to control Cassandra," Damien said. "He wanted to erase her."Asher paced behind him. His fists were clenched, jaw set."Why her?""Because she was the last. The one who came out of shutdown?"Bishop leaned against the doorway, his shape a harsh silhouette. "She was their future. Until she learned to feel."The eyes echoed like gunfire.In the other room, Cassandra sat against the floor and the wall, staring at her reflection in a shattered mirror. She breathed on the glass and fogged it. She touched out, tracing the lines of her own face as though it belonged to someone else.The door creaked.Asher knelt down next to her without startling her."I felt like I

  • Married to my Enemy: A Billionaire's Hidden Love   Shards of the Aftermath

    Chapter 14: Shards of the AftermathMorning reluctantly broke, spilling pale orange light over the wreckage of the NOVA-7 complex. Smoke continued to curl into the air behind them as they huddled around a small campfire at the top of a ridge that gazed down into the valley below.Adrenaline had worn off. Only the low hum of questions—unasked, unspoken—remained.Asher sat next to Cassandra. She hadn't spoken since they'd fled. Her eyes blazed with awareness, but her voice came and went, lost and weak."She's disoriented," Bishop said, unwrapping a ragged bandage from the side. "Whatever was done to her… it's still present."Asher looked up. "You said they were wiping her. Can that be undone?"Damien shook his head slowly. “Maybe. But it won’t be easy. Neural overwrite can embed itself like scar tissue. Every memory, every thought has to be rebuilt.”Cassandra stirred. “I dreamed… of snow… and silence.”Asher leaned closer. “You’re safe now. That’s what matters.”But he knew safety was

  • Married to my Enemy: A Billionaire's Hidden Love   White Silence, Black Truths

    Chapter 13: White Silence, Black TruthsThe summits jagged like shattered blades into the atmosphere. NOVA-7 was not just hidden in secrets—it was hidden in a region where nature itself resisted penetration. Snow pounded sideways in thick white sheets, and the path to the plant was little more than rumor etched into ice.Damien, Asher, and Bishop trudged through snow that reached their knees, their breathing foggy clouds in the chill air. Every step grated with the urgency of the moment."They created this facility where satellites lose their vision," Bishop shouted over the wind. "If we get inside, there is no redundancy. We are dark.""Good," Asher growled. "Means no distraction."They crested the final ridge, and there it was: a silhouette cut into the ice, half mountain, half machinery. NOVA-7.The exterior was all functional menace—black steel, armed drones, and infrared sweeps tracing back and forth across the ice plain."Clock's ticking," Damien said. "We have the codes Bishop

  • Married to my Enemy: A Billionaire's Hidden Love   Breachlines and Betrayals

    Chapter 12: Breachlines and BetrayalsDrenmore's rain had turned to sleet by the time they reached their hideout—a two-story ruin on the outskirts, smeared in grime and graffiti. Inside, it was damp, reeking of old smoke and wet stone, but safe. For the time being.Damien shut the bolt behind them, his jaw clenched. He hadn't spoken since they'd left the facility. Asher sat on the stained couch, his arm freshly bandaged, his muscles coiled with a subdued rage.The atmosphere was heavy."I saw her, Damien."Damien at last turned to him. "I know.""She's alive.""And captive in the belly of the most secure space under Emberlight control."Asher stood up, slowly. His movements were measured, painful. "We're going in after her.""Yes," Damien said. "But we don't go into NOVA-7 blind."He spread a pile of blueprints across the coffee table. Satellite photos. Transport routes. Encryption patterns. "Graves wasn't burying her life. He's financing the program that's doing this."Asher's jaw ti

  • Married to my Enemy: A Billionaire's Hidden Love   Embers in the Rain

    Chapter 11: Embers in the RainDrenmore was never a city of masks. Glass and steel spires loomed overhead like solemn witnesses to the corruption that swirled below, their reflective sides hiding corruption and scandals in open view. The rain lashed down in relentless sheets that morning, pouring over the city in cold silver and ash.Damien and Asher stood across the street from the Central Research Ministry—glass-faced, clinical, and guarded like a prison. A place where secrets were buried under sterile light. A place where Emberlight once operated in the open.The flash drive had given them names. Targets. Proof. And one directive:Facility Delta-9—beneath the ministry. The last place Asher’s sister had been seen.“We’re going in through the front?” Asher asked, eyes scanning the guards.Damien tilted his head, rain dripping off his jaw. "Not if you want to be dead by lunch. There's an old maintenance access under the north loading dock. Service tunnel. That's our time window.""Sec

  • Married to my Enemy: A Billionaire's Hidden Love   Shadows Under Drenmore

    The train yard slumbered like a cast-off relic, its metal framework coated with rusting grime that shimmered with the pale blue of dawn. Fog crept along the rails like a beast looking for warmth, and the signal towers loomed like silent sentinels, watchful, always watching.Damien left the truck two blocks back, behind a ruined warehouse shrouded in dust and ivy. They walked, shrouded in shadows and silence, every step measured. The sort of silence that curled around your ribs and made your heart pound in your ears. The sort of silence that smelled of rain and pollution and despair.Asher's fingers tightened around the handle of his gun as they walked toward the third signal box, precisely where Graves had instructed. His breath misted in the chill."You think he actually gave us everything?" he breathed."No," Damien replied. "But he gave us enough to begin a war."Asher kneeled beside the box, fingers flying and deliberate. The lock was ancient—mechanical, not digital. An anachronis
