Play Thing Of The Enemy The Last Vote
Damian POVAdrian lasted four hours, longer than I would have liked and shorter than he expected.We found him just after nine, not in hiding, not running, just waiting.He had moved through Rome after the alley like a ghost, shedding routes, breaking patterns, slipping through surveillance gaps that would have held most men in place. But he had not tried to leave the city.He had not tried to disappear, he had chosen a location and stayed there.An abandoned administrative building near the river, a place where a man could make a stand.We went in quietly.Luca on my left, two operators behind us.We cleared the first level in silence, the rooms were empty, doors hanging open. Broken glass crunching under boots no matter how careful we tried to be.Second level.A shift of weight. A breath that did not belong to us.We stopped as one.I raised a hand.Wait.Then I moved.Every instinct narrowed to a single point.The hallway ahead stretched long and dim, light cutting in through brok

The car was already waiting on the tarmac.“Trastevere,” I said as soon as the door shut.The driver nodded and pulled out hard.Luca checked his weapon beside me, then looked up. “How close was she when she called?”“Too close,” I said.That was the truth.Gunfire like that did not travel far, not in streets like these.We were already late.The car slowed as we hit the tighter roads.“Stop here,” I said.The driver hesitated for half a second.“Now.”We got out before the engine fully idled.The air smelled faintly of damp stone and something sharper beneath it.Gunpowder, it was still fresh.My focus narrowed instantly.“This way,” I said, already moving.Luca fell in step beside me.We moved fast through the narrow streets, boots striking uneven stone, sound bouncing off the walls and coming back at us. Then I saw it.The alley.I slowed just enough to read it.A car door opened. One body down near the entrance, another further in, half-hidden in shadow. Blood dark against the sto

Damien's POV The line went dead before I could ask a second question.For half a second, I stayed still, the phone still pressed to my ear, Isabella’s last broken words echoing in the space she had left behind.Gunfire.That was the only thing I had clearly heard, everything about this was wrong.I lowered the phone slowly.Luca was already watching me.“What happened?”I did not answer immediately, not because I didn’t want to but because I was fitting pieces together, forcing my mind ahead of the instinct to react blindly.“Rome is compromised,” I said.His expression sharpened instantly. “Architect loyalists?”“No.”That word settled heavily between us.Because if it wasn’t the Architect, then it was something worse, something we had not accounted for.“Then who?” Luca asked.I was already moving.“Adrian.”The name changed the air in the room.Luca went still for a fraction of a second, then turned toward the table, grabbing his weapon, his phone, his jacket in one smooth motion
Play Thing Of The Enemy Zero Hour
Luca's Pov At 3:12 a.m., I gave up pretending sleep was still possible.The room in Paris was black except for the wash of city light bleeding around the curtains. Rain had stopped sometime before dawn. The glass no longer ticked with it. The silence that replaced it felt heavier, cleaner, like the whole world had pulled in one long breath and decided not to let it out yet.Damian was already awake.I knew it before I opened my eyes fully. I could feel it in the stillness of his body beside mine. For a minute I stayed where I was, half-curled against him, my cheek near his shoulder, listening to the steady beat under his skin. It might have been the last peaceful sound I would get for a long time. Maybe longer than that. I did not want to think too closely about what “long time” meant today.His hand moved once over my back when he felt me wake.“Morning,” I murmured.“It barely qualifies.”I huffed a quiet laugh, the sound dry and soft in the darkness. “You say charming things befo
Play Thing Of The Enemy Damien's Regret
Luca's Pov For so long I thought he would not answer.His hand kept moving on my back in that slow, absent way, but the rest of him had gone still. I could feel the weight of his silence, not empty, not evasive but full and crowded with things that did not fit easily into words.Then he said, “Matteo.”The name landed softly and hard at once, I went still against him.He swallowed before he spoke again. “Ans your parents.”I kept my eyes on his face.The lamp cast him in warm gold and shadow, softening the edges that daylight usually sharpened. He looked younger like this, not because the lines were gone because the armor was thinner, he was lying here with me, naming the things that hurt him, and that was rarer than any tenderness between us.I waited.His arm tightened around me like the answer itself cost him something. “The years I spent building walls instead of letting anyone in.”There was no drama in it. No self-pity, no bitterness.m, just truth laid down plain between us.Th
Play Thing Of The Enemy The Night Before
Luca's Pov Europe went quiet around us, not truly quiet, even this high up, even behind thick glass and the kind of walls built by men with too much money and too many enemies, the world still made itself known. I could hear the low rush of traffic far below, softened by height. Somewhere in the distance, a siren rose and faded, wind.But inside our room, it felt quiet enough to hear every breath.The team had spent the day peeling apart across the continent.Marcus and Elena had gone first through the eastern route. Enough weapons and gear packed into diplomatic cases to start a war if anyone decided to open the wrong latch. I had watched them leave before dawn, both of them carrying themselves with that hard stillness people used when fear had to be folded into something useful. Marcus had looked paler than he should have, Elena had not looked back.Kai was somewhere in transit now, chained to three encrypted drives and the weight of an entire operation, her face set in that blank
