A Toast to the Happy Couple

Emma POV

For a second, I forgot how to breathe.

Sophie’s smile stayed perfectly in place as she stepped away from me.

To anyone watching, we looked like two sisters exchanging something private and affectionate.

Only I knew she had just threatened me.

“Is something wrong?” Dylan asked.

His attention moved between us.

Sophie touched my arm lightly. “Emma looks a little pale.”

“I’m fine,” I said too quickly.

Sophie’s fingers tightened before she released me.

    The Second NameEmma POVI stared at the screen.The name was there.Clear.Impossible to misunderstand.SOPHIE BENNETT.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Then Sophie laughed.It was a strange sound.Nervous.Disbelieving.Almost frightened."No."Charles Whitmore watched her."No?" he repeated.She shook her head."You're lying.""Am I?""I have nothing to do with your council."Charles smiled."Neither did Nathan. At least, that's what he believed."Sophie stepped backward.Dylan looked at Charles."Why her?""Because Sophie possesses qualities Nathan lacks.""What qualities?"Charles turned toward Sophie."Ambition. Adaptability. A willingness to make difficult choices."Sophie stared at him."You don't know me."Charles's smile widened."I know you spent years trying to become Mrs. Carter."Her face changed."I know you believed Emma stole the future you deserved.""Stop.""And I know you were willing to hurt people to reclaim it.""Shut up!"Her voice echoed through the room.I

    The Man We TrustedEmma POVNathan Reed.I stared at the name on the screen.Then at the man standing beside me.For a moment, nobody spoke.Nathan looked as shocked as the rest of us.But after everything we had discovered, I no longer knew whether shock meant innocence."Nathan?"He didn't answer.Dylan stepped forward."How long have you known?"Nathan turned toward him."Known what?""Don't play games with me.""I'm not."Dylan pointed at the screen."Your name is listed as the successor to Project Zero. Explain that."Nathan swallowed."I can't."Charles Whitmore smiled."Perhaps I should help."Everyone turned toward him."Nathan was selected long before any of you understood what Project Zero was."My stomach tightened."Selected for what?""Leadership."Dylan laughed bitterly."Another experiment?"Charles shook his head."An investment."Nathan stared at him."I don't know you."Charles raised an eyebrow."Are you certain?"Something changed in Nathan's expression.Charles no

    The Ones Above the GameDylan POVThe doors opened slowly.Too slowly.Like whoever was behind them wanted us to feel the anticipation.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The facility that had held decades of secrets was suddenly silent.Then footsteps echoed.One person.Not a group.Not an army.Just one person walking toward us.That was somehow worse.Because people with real power never needed to arrive loudly.They expected the world to make space for them.My mother stood frozen.I had never seen her look afraid like that.Not when Victor threatened her.Not when her secrets were exposed.Not even when everything collapsed.But now?She looked like she was facing a ghost.“Who is it?”Emma asked.My mother didn’t answer.“Evelyn.”Her lips moved.But no words came out.Then the person appeared.An older man.Perfectly dressed.Calm.Almost ordinary.That was the terrifying part.He did not look like someone who controlled lives.He looked like someone who attended charity events.Some

    The Choice She MadeDylan POVThe voice came through the speakers.A voice I knew.A voice that had comforted me as a child.A voice that had lied to me for years.My mother.“By me.”Nobody moved.The silence was unbearable.Then Emma stepped toward the speaker.“Evelyn.”My mother’s voice shook.“Emma.”The pain in that single word was obvious.Not the voice of an enemy.The voice of someone who had carried a secret for too long.“Why?”Emma’s question was simple.But it carried years of pain.“Why would you lock us in here?”A pause.Then my mother answered.“Because if I didn’t, Victor would.”I looked at the security system.“You expect us to believe that?”My mother sighed.“No.”That surprised me.“No?”“No.”Her voice became softer.“Because I know what I have done.”The room went quiet.She continued.“I know I have taken choices away from people.”Emma looked away.“I know I became part of the same thing I hated.”Those words affected everyone.Especially Emma.Because my mo

    The Legacy He Left BehindDylan POVI stared at the screen.My father’s name.The words beneath it.SUBJECT ZERO SUCCESSOR: EMMA LAURENTNothing made sense anymore.My father.The man I spent years believing was a victim.The man I thought was running from the truth.He had been building toward something.Something bigger than any of us understood.“Emma.”My voice sounded different.She looked at me.“What?”I looked back at the screen.“I think my father knew this day would come.”Her expression tightened.“You mean he planned all of this?”“I don’t know.”And that was the truth.For once, I didn’t want to pretend I had answers.Because every time I did, I was wrong.Nathan continued searching through the files.“There’s more.”Everyone looked at him.“What?”He opened another document.“This was created twenty-five years ago.”Sophie stepped closer.“Before Emma was born.”“Yes.”Alexander frowned.“Then how can it be about her?”Nathan looked at the document.“Because it was never

    The Mother I Never KnewEmma POVThe name remained on the screen.Biological Mother: Evelyn Carter.I stared at it.Waiting for someone to tell me it was another mistake.Another manipulation.Another carefully designed lie.But nobody spoke.Because everyone knew.Everyone except me.Again.I looked at my mother.The woman who raised me.The woman who held my hand when I was sick.The woman who cried when I called her for the first time after leaving home.“Is it true?”My voice barely came out.Evelyn looked at me.Her eyes were already filled with tears.That was my answer.“You knew.”She closed her eyes.“Emma…”“No.”I stepped back.“Not another explanation.”My voice shook.“I don’t want another reason.”She swallowed.“I wanted to tell you.”“When?”She looked down.I laughed bitterly.“When I was ready?”Silence.“Everyone always says that.”I pointed around the room.“Everyone decides when I can handle the truth.”Dylan moved closer.“Emma.”I looked at him.“No.”I wasn’t a

    Emma POV"Nothing," I said quickly. Too quickly. "Nothing's wrong with me."Dylan's eyes narrowed. He was studying me now, really looking at me in a way he hadn't since that first morning we woke up together. I could see his mind working, putting pieces together."You've been doing that all day, ha

    Emma POV I woke up several hours later to the sound of raised voices downstairs. Dylan's voice was angry and sharp. And another voice, male, equally angry.I got out of bed and crept to the top of the stairs, staying in the shadows where I couldn't be seen.Dylan was in the foyer, and standing wit

    Emma POVI'd never seen Dylan look at me like that before. Well, that wasn't exactly true. He'd looked at me with hatred plenty of times, with disgust and contempt and barely concealed loathing. But this was different. This was rage mixed with something else, something darker that made my blood run
