The silence that trailed Sophia's ominous words was more oppressive than any scream. Within the core of Graves Tower, bejeweled by shining steel and icy glass, the tempest had finally abated—but war had yet to begin.Killian remained frozen.Sophia's voice remained with him—"Let the final game begin." It wasn't a taunt. It was a pronouncement. A killing blow to a man already on his knees.Elena could sense the tension in Killian's hand around hers. Every available muscle in his body had gone rigid, jaw clenched and expressionless, but she knew the truth. Within the toughened exterior, a battle raged. One that started years ago and was now unraveling at breakneck speed."Sophia…" Killian's tone was gravel and ice, the name cutting through the air like a knife. "You don't get to play games anymore."Sophia just smiled. "But darling," she said, moving forward, "I never did. You just ceased watching." Elena moved forward, standing slightly in front of Killian—not to shield him, but to gr

The moment the video ended, chaos detonated into motion.Killian barked orders into his comms as he and Elena sprinted out of the study. “Silas, Harper—we’ve got a bomb under the west wing. We’ve got three minutes.”“Copy that,” Harper’s voice responded instantly. “Already tracking the security breach. Evacuating all lower-level staff now.”Elena panted fast and hard as they sprinted towards the vault elevators. "She had cameras in there. That means she accessed the internal feeds. This wasn't planted today—this was planned."Killian grimly nodded. "Months ago, perhaps. Before we even suspected her."As the elevator descended, Elena braced against the mirrored wall, attempting to quiet the thudding in her chest. "What if it's not one bomb?Killian met her eyes. “Then we’ll die trying to stop it.”The doors slid open and they ran down the corridor, passing the restricted biotech labs. The entire west wing buzzed with warning lights now, red strobes bathing the walls like blood.When th

Silence throbbed in the warehouse after Victor's last breath escaped his body. The triumph was meant to taste like release, like the tempest had passed—and instead, it tasted like the eye of something far larger. A warning, and not an end.Elena cradled Dante, still dazed, as Killian stood gazing down at the piece of paper in his hand as if it contained poison."The true enemy is already inside."The words clawed at his instincts, and suddenly a weight bearing down onto his chest.This wasn't over. Not even close."Killian," Elena stood up. "What does that mean?"He didn't respond immediately.His gaze roamed over the destruction—Victor's dead bodies, his battered corpse, the destruction they'd just escaped. Then he saw Dante. The boy—no, the man—who had pleaded Elena to flee from Killian, sitting bound and bruised now from Victor's treachery.Killian curled his fingers tighter around the note. "We have to leave. Now.""But—""Now," he barked, and Elena did not protest.They piled int

Elena awoke to the soft hum of the penthouse alarm system booting up for the day, but Killian's side of the bed was empty. The sheet still held the warmth of his body, but he was gone—like a phantom that had blown through the night and vanished at dawn. She sat up, brushing matted locks of hair away from her face, her muscles aching from the night before. But with that passion was the cold truth. The war hadn't suspended itself for love. It had simply shut in. She shrugged on one of Killian's dress shirts and padded barefoot down the hallway to the control room. The glass walls sparkled in the morning light, and inside, Killian stood before the surveillance monitors, Silas and a visibly shaken Harper on either side of her. Harper didn't get shaken. "—what do you mean the intel was leaked?" Killian's voice was cold steel, sheared thin and sharp. Harper shifted uncomfortably. "We laid the trap exactly as planned. But Victor's men were ready. They attacked the convoy before it ev

Elena strode the length of the room, her feet deep in the floor, worn down by the weight of carrying too many secrets. Liam sat handcuffed to the corner chair, blood seeping from the cut over his eye, but he smiled like a man who still held the advantage.Killian hadn't spoken a word since the storm out. Slipping of the door rang in Elena's mind. She remembered not to go after him at the moment. When Killian was this silent, this still, it meant his thoughts were destroying and constructing themselves at the same time—explosive, friendly, and volatile.She stayed still and turned to Liam."Why?" she asked.He puffed out his chest with pride. "Why not?You were in on it from the beginning," she told him slowly. "From the first day Killian brought me to New York."Liam said nothing."You led me to believe you were one of the men I could trust."He chuckled, a sour note. "That was the plan."Elena's breath hitched. "Victor hired you?""Victor did not hire me. I offered my services."Elen

The room was silent.Elena sat on the edge of the hotel bed, knees splayed apart in front of her, elbows pressed into knees, fingers locked in her hair. Her heart pounded like a war drum against the inside of her chest, the last hour flashing in her mind like a nightmare she couldn't awaken from.Killian stood with his back against the window, his frame tense, bathed in the golden amber light that came through the curtains. His jaw was clenched, the muscle beneath ticking every other second. He'd not said a word since they'd returned. Since Victor's conference soured, since Dante's harsh words sliced into her shattered heart."I should have known better," Elena said softly, breaking the silence. "Sophia. The papers. Everything."Killian did not move. "You wanted to see the best of her.""I wanted to know she wasn't leading me on. That not everyone in my life was pretending." She swallowed. "But she was."His eyes finally caught hers in the glass mirror. "We don't have all of our piece
