"You didn't touch your appetizer," he said, his voice dropping into that low cadence that always drove Nysa up a wall. He scooped a small portion of the salad onto my plate, his thumb lightly brushing the back of my hand. "Eat up. You've been running around all day."

I gave him a soft, affectionate smile, leaning into his touch just enough to make it obvious. "I was busy. But I'll eat." I said softly.

On the other side of the table, Nysa looked like she was about to swallow her own tongue. Her

    Dario stopped sipping his coffee and looked down at the screen. My dad leaned over, his eyes scanning the text, and let out a dry, humorless sound. Uncle Pascal just shook his head, a small, knowing smirk hitting his face."She's up to something," Dario said, stating the obvious. "Nobody texts out of nowhere trying to play sweet unless they're sweating.""Obviously," I muttered, grabbing a napkin. "She's probably panicking because of the anonymous text from yesterday, or she thinks she can fix whatever mess she's in by twisting my arm.""You aren't going alone," my dad said, his tone leaving zero room for argument."I wasn't planning on it," I told him, rolling my eyes a little bit. "I'll take security. Plus, you guys are probably going to follow us anyway."Uncle Pascal laughed out loud, leaning back in his chair. "We wouldn't miss it, princess." he said.By nine, I was out the door but not before being lectured by the entire Vlateri clam about being careful. My dad came with two of

    I looked between them, my voice dropping into a casual, matter-of-fact tone as I explained the setup. "I had my lead tech, Eli, fire off a timed anonymous ping straight to their phones. Just twenty minutes after we sat down. It didn't need a massive paragraph or a long threat. Just a simple wake-up call to let them know the clock is ticking."Bianca let out a low whistle, her eyes lighting up with absolute approval. "God, that is brilliantly vicious. What did it say?""Just six words," I replied, a cold smile touching my lips. "I know your secret. I know who Nyxara really is."Ella burst out laughing, sinking back into her chair with a shake of her head. "Oh, that is poetry. Look at them, they built their entire lives on a mountain of lies, and now they're realizing someone is standing at the bottom with a match." she said.Dario reached over, his hand resting warm and heavy on my hip as he looked down at me with a faint, dark spark of amusement in his eyes. "You're a menace," he said

    After the last plates were returned to the kitchen, and the dining room finally emptied out. Vincenzo stood up, clapping a hand on Carlton's shoulder and steering him toward the patio doors to talk about local zoning. Elena smoothly guided Caroline out toward the cool night air of the garden, pretending to admire the late-summer flowers while keeping her away from the action. Grandfather and Grandmother excused themselves to the sitting room to escape the noise.That left Nysa sitting right where she was in the living room, completely cornered. Bianca and Ella had moved in fast, flanking her with matching, razor-sharp grins and dropping endless, casual digs about her fading social status and empty life.I stayed quiet for a minute, watching Nysa start to sweat under the pressure. Then I stood up, offering a polite, innocent little smile."Excuse me for just a second," I murmured. "I need to use the washroom."I slipped down the quiet hallway toward the guest bath, pulling my phone ou

I said softly.On the other side of the table, Nysa looked like she was about to swallow her own tongue. Her eyes locked onto Dario's hand resting on mine, tracking the movement with raw fury. She opened her mouth to say something, but the words caught in her throat.Dario pulled his hand back slowly, turning his attention back to me with a faint smirk. "I told you, you need to delegate more. Let the assistants you have handle most of it." he said."I like making sure my work is done properly," I replied lightly."See?" Grandmother beamed down at us from the end of the table. "A hardworking young woman

    "Nyxara," Carlton answered, sounding slightly surprised to hear from me. "Is everything alright?" he asked.I softened my voice, keeping my tone gentle for him. "Hi, Dad. Everything is fine. I was just calling to see if you, Nysa, and Mom would like to come over for dinner tonight. I know there has been some tension lately, and I would really love for us all to get past it. I want us to be a proper family."There was a brief, telling pause on the other end. He was clearly caught off guard by the olive branch, but he loved the idea of looking like the bigger person who brought everyone back together."Well," he, cleared his throat, his tone warming up a notch as he puffed out his chest over the line. "That is very mature of you, Nyxara. I think a family dinner would be a step in the right direction. We will be there.""Wonderful," I smiled into the phone, letting a real note of warmth color my words. "We will see you at seven."I hung up the phone and tossed it onto the coffee table. T

    My office chair gave a soft, familiar squeak as I spun it back around to face the dual monitors on my desk. The hum of the Cipher Core server room two floors down vibrated faintly through the ground, keeping a steady rhythm that matched the ticking clock in the corner. I unlocked my phone, tossed it onto the blotter, and reached for the cold cup of black coffee I had abandoned twenty minutes ago when Dario and I split ways for the morning.The screen on my left monitor lit up with a secure messaging window, courtesy of Eli. He worked fast when he had a target, and Nysa was about as easy to hack as a plastic lockbox.Since my identity as the head of Cipher Core stayed strictly hidden from the public, nobody in the building knew who I really was. To the staff, I was just a consultant or an upper-level analyst who kept to herself in the corner office.My phone vibrated on the desk with an encrypted call from Eli . I tapped the screen to pick it up."Talk to me, Eli," I said, keeping my
