KRISTIE

Mom burst into the office, her face pale with urgency. “Oh, James, you have to do something!” she cried. “You must stop O. Gray immediately!”

Her presence was an unexpected relief. It was the escape I needed.

“He has us pinned, Megan. I am afraid there is nothing we can do,” James lamented.

Mom exhaled. “Okay, James. You can start by going over everything with us. We would all find a solution together.”

James sighed and returned to his seat. He rubbed his palms together in a bid to relax. We waited until he was ready.

“O. Gray Future Corporation wants a takeover. They already initiated an action as it is. And they have the best team of lawyers working for them,” he explained.

Mom’s face instantly turned red. “Oscar Gray has no right to meddle in the Tristan affair. Our family may not be up to their in the social status, but we are very much aware of our right.”

James gritted his teeth in exasperation, his eyelids twitching.

“Exactly, mom. He should be out of our affairs. Petal

    JAMESI was nearly out. The front door clicked softly as I eased it open, the cold air kissing my face like freedom. I had one foot across the line when her voice sliced through the silence behind me.“And where exactly do you think you’re going, James?”Damn it.I didn’t turn immediately. Just stood there, my back to her, hand still on the doorknob. “Got an emergency call,” I said, faking calm. “Need to step out. Work stuff.”“Emergency?” Megan scoffed. “There’s nothing urgent or important about your whole existence.”I turned, finally facing her. She was leaning against the hallway wall in her robe, arms crossed, one brow raised like she had been waiting for this moment all night.“Look, Megan, I don’t owe you every detail of my life.”“No, you don’t,” she said, pushing off the wall. “And I don’t care what mess you’re about to run into tonight. Just don’t drag my daughter down with you.” She paused, eyes narrowing. “Though I’ve noticed, James, you’ve been moving funny lately. Slippi

    THIRD PARTYThe night wind carried a stillness that felt unnatural, the streets unusually quiet as Gideon made his way through the dim alleys of the hood. Tilda and the kids were safe—for now. It was time to confront the filth that had almost ruined everything.Orion.He knew where to find him. Rats like Orion always went scurrying back to the shadows after stirring trouble. And Gideon had walked those shadows long enough to know every corner, every crack, every hidden den that scum like Orion used as cover.He reached the hideout in less than fifteen minutes.It was one of the gang’s known dens—a crumbling warehouse at the edge of Dagger Street. He didn’t knock. He didn’t announce himself. Gideon was his own force. His reputation had been built with blood, and no one—no one, not even the most ruthless in the hood—dared to test him.Except Orion.And tonight, that rat was going to pay.Inside, Orion’s voice echoed faintly from the back room, laughing at something. Probably boasting ab

    TILDAI had asked the question without really expecting an answer. It wasn’t directed at Gideon, not truly. It was more like I had thrown the words at the air, at the heaviness in my chest, at the confusion that was slowly tightening its grip on me.I hadn’t taken anything from Oscar. I hadn’t tricked him. I was going to tell him about the kids. I never planned to keep them from him forever. There was no debt—no secret deal or betrayal. I don’t owe Oscar Gray a cent, and I had walked away clean.Oscar Gray wasn’t the kind of man anyone played games with. While I was with him, I treaded carefully. I didn’t use our relationship as a ladder to get ahead in the company. I worked. I earned everything I was paid. And when it ended, I let it end.So, why was he after me?Gideon’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. “I can't say the reason, Tilda. I don’t know the nature of your relationship with him.”I kept staring at him, trying to read more than just his words. Silence fell again, th

    OSCARAfter I dropped the call, my face tightened.“I knew it,” I spat, my voice sharp with irritation.Steven straightened from where he stood across the room, concern flickering in his expression. “What’s going on? What was that call about?”“That was Ghaza,” I replied, dragging a hand down my face. “Orion placed another false call. Again.”Steven shifted. “Oh no, I thought this time was real”“Of course it’s not,” I snapped, then sighed, forcing myself to speak with more clarity. “I warned Ghaza not to meet with Orion. Someone like him is only looking for some quick cash.”Stephen’s brow furrowed. “Still… I don’t think it’s completely useless. In this search for Tilda and the kids, nothing should be ruled out. Every step, no matter how small, could lead to something.”I let his words hang. For a while, I said nothing. The silence stretched between us, then I nodded slowly. “Maybe you’re right.”Without waiting another second, I picked up my phone and called Ghaza back.“Send word t

    THIRD PERSONGideon returned to the room, heart still racing, and carefully lifted the hatch to the roof. One by one, he helped them down—Tilda, Diamond, Miranda, and the boys. As soon as the last small foot touched the floor, Gideon stepped back, overwhelmed by the sight of them safe and unharmed.He didn’t realize when his arms pulled them all close. Tilda didn’t resist. The children clung to him, warm and shaking. A tear slid down Gideon’s weathered cheek, and he let it.“Thank you,” Tilda murmured into his shoulder, voice low and raw.“No,” Gideon said, shaking his head slowly. His grip only tightened. In his mind, he repeated, I should be the one thanking you all—for staying safe. For not getting caught.“I was so scared up there, Uncle Gideon,” Diamond whispered, her small fingers tightening around his. “Who are those men? Are they bad men? Why are they after us?”Gideon crouched down until he was level with her, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. “Don’t worry, littl

    JAMESThe moment Kristie walked through the door, humming that old song she always reserved for good days, I knew something had clicked. Her eyes were a little brighter, her steps lighter. That tune hadn’t touched her lips for a very long time.I didn’t speak at first. I just sat back and watched, letting her swirl around the room like she owned the air. She dropped her purse carelessly on the side table and kicked off her heels, humming as she did.“You seem cheerful,” I finally said, my tone casual. “What’s the good news?”She paused by the couch and turned, one brow lifted like she was debating whether to tell me or not. But she gave in.“It’s Denzel,” she said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “One of Tilda’s boys. He’s sick—some medical thing.”My gaze narrowed. “Sick how?”“I didn’t get the details. But it sounded serious.”I folded my arms. “And what exactly do you plan to do with that information?”Kristie shrugged. “Not sure yet. But give it time. I’ll figure som
