Kamara

By the time Oscar left the room, the silence he left behind felt heavier than his presence ever had. There was still too much we didn’t know about the Volkovs, too many missing pieces, too many risks, but that didn’t stop the plan from moving forward. Oscar would make a head start tonight. Jace would follow up tomorrow.

And me?

I felt like I was sinking.

    KamaraBy the time Oscar left the room, the silence he left behind felt heavier than his presence ever had. There was still too much we didn’t know about the Volkovs, too many missing pieces, too many risks, but that didn’t stop the plan from moving forward. Oscar would make a head start tonight. Jace would follow up tomorrow.And me?I felt like I was sinking.The file sat on the small motel desk like it was judging me, its edges sharp under the dim light. I dropped onto the edge of the bed, the thin mattress dipping beneath my weight as I buried my face in my hands. The tears came again, hot, relentless, impossible to hold back.“If only I’d kept my mouth shut,” I choked, my voice muffled against my palms. “I betrayed her, Jace. If I had just stayed in my lane, Kaela wouldn’t be in this situation. She’s already gone through so much, and I just—”My words broke apart.The mattress shifted beside me. Jace sat down, close enough that I could feel the warmth of him even without looking.

    KAMARA "We have to go back! Jace, stop the car!" My voice was a raw, jagged shred of itself, bouncing off the armored interior of the SUV. I clawed at the door handle, but it was locked tight, a silent reminder of my own helplessness. "He has her! You saw what they did to that guard—they'll kill her! Jace!" "Kamara, look at me!" Jace’s voice was like a bucket of ice water, but I wouldn't stop. I couldn't. "Go back! Why are we still driving? Just give them the files!" I slammed my fist against the leather-bound folder in my lap. "What is the point of this? If this is what they want, give it to them and take her back! My sister’s life for a pile of paper, how is that a choice?" "It’s not just paper, and you know it," Jace growled, grabbing my shoulders to still my thrashing. "Pull yourself together! If we turn around, we are dead. Kaela is dead. Everything we’ve done up until now is gone. You think they’ll just trade fair? They’ll take the files and kill both of you to clean up the

    KAMARAThe darkness didn't last. The power roared back to life with a violent, electric hum, the neon lights of the suite surging into a blinding purple and red glare. I squinted, the sudden brightness stinging my eyes, but as my vision cleared, I saw the true shape of the nightmare.The silver-haired man was standing now. He was tall with a presence that seemed to swallow the air in the room. I made a move toward the door, my heart screaming Kaela, but Jace’s arm barred my way, pinning me into the shadows of the hallway."Don't," he hissed, his face tight with a terror I’d never seen. "If you walk in there, you’re risking more than your life. You’re risking hers. You’re risking everyone’s. Just leave this to me, Kamara. Stay put.""I am tired of staying still!" I whispered back, my voice trembling with a jagged, irrational heat. "Every time I hide, someone else pays the price. I’m done being pushed down. I’m done waiting for men to decide my fate. I want the truth for myself. I’m go

    KAMARAThe air in the club was thick, tasting of vanilla, but as I watched that man drag Kaela toward the velvet-draped doors of the VIP wing, the world turned icy.All these years.While I was complaining about the embroidery on my debutante dresses or the temperature of the tea in the garden, Kaela was being traded like livestock. My father—the man who claimed to value "legacy" above all else—had allowed this. No, he hadn't just allowed it. He had facilitated it. He had known exactly what Matthias was, and he had used my sister as the currency to pay for his sins.A wave of nausea rolled over me, more violent than the smell of the gin sitting untouched on the bar. I wasn't just sad. I was consumed by a white-hot, jagged disgust that threatened to shatter my teeth if I clenched my jaw any harder.I watched the heavy doors swing shut behind them, cutting off the view of Kaela’s trembling shoulders.I didn't think. I couldn't afford to. If I stopped to breathe, I would collapse. I push

    KAMARAThe heavy silence of the house was a cage I couldn’t stand to be in for another second. It had been days since I’d really seen Jace, the memory of him was becoming a blurry ache I didn’t have time to process. Right now, the only thing screaming in my mind was the image of Kaela. I couldn't just sit here and phantom what she was going through. I had to move.I slipped out of my room, creeping down the hallway toward my father’s study. As I approached the heavy doors, I froze. The sound of his voice drifted through the wood, amplified by the loudspeaker of his phone."Hope she’s gotten there safely," my father was saying, his voice tight. "This better tell Matthias that I want nothing else. You don't harm my family. I want your word. He’s gotten what he wanted—she’s at the club. She’s doing what she’s supposed to do. I hope everything is set."The voice on the other end crackled, a low murmur I couldn't quite catch, but my father’s response made my heart stop."She better be unt

    JACEThe sterile, sharp scent of the private clinic felt like a vacuum, sucking the adrenaline right out of my lungs. I sat in the hallway, my head hanging between my knees, staring at the dried flakes of Elijah’s blood on my knuckles.Just a few days ago, I thought my brother was a ghost. A memory I’d buried alongside my childhood. Then he’d appeared like a phantom at the docks, only to be broken in front of my eyes at the Glass Graveyard."He’s stabilized," a doctor muttered, passing by without looking up from his clipboard. "You can go in, but make it quick. He’s weak."I didn't need to be told twice. I pushed into the room, the steady beeping of the heart monitor the only thing filling the silence. Elijah looked smaller than I remembered, his face a map of jagged cuts and deep, purple bruising.As I approached the bed, his eyes fluttered open. For a second, they were clouded with pain, but then they cleared, locking onto mine."Hey," I whispered, pulling a chair to the bedside. "Y

    JaceShe fell asleep like that.Curled into me, breathing uneven at first, then slowly evening out as exhaustion finally won. Her grip on my jacket loosened, but she didn’t pull away.I stayed still, watching her small form.Her lashes were damp, cheeks streaked with dried tears. One hand rested ag

    Kamara’s POVIt was well past three in the afternoon and still no sign of him.Was he deliberately avoiding me… or was I reading into things the way I always did?I shoved the thought aside, focusing instead on the cup of ice cream in my hands, the once solid, now a sad, melted swirl I kept stirrin
