Aurora turned around slowly, the movement deliberate, controlled, even though her heart had already begun to hammer against her ribs. The air between them shifted, thickening with something sharp and electric, the kind of tension that warned of damage long before the blow ever landed. Her eyes locked onto Lilith’s face, onto that familiar smile that never quite reached her eyes, and she heard her own voice come out steadier than she felt.“What did you just say?”Lilith didn’t hesitate. She didn’t falter. If anything, the question seemed to amuse her. The smirk curved her lips upward with practiced ease, her posture relaxed, almost indulgent, as though this confrontation was nothing more than a pleasant diversion in an otherwise tedious day. She tilted her head slightly, studying Aurora the way one might study a reflection that annoyed them simply by existing.“You heard me well,” Lilith said smoothly. “Billy. I believe you have met him before.”The name landed like a weight in Aur

Xavier stared at the documents in Professor Adrian Holloway’s hands as though they might rearrange themselves into something less damning if he looked hard enough. His jaw tightened, a slow tension building in his shoulders as he exhaled through his nose and shook his head once, deliberately, as if physically rejecting what he was being told.“What do you mean?” he asked, his voice controlled but strained beneath the restraint. “That’s not possible. You have to be mistaken.”Professor Holloway did not look up at him immediately. His attention remained fixed on the papers, his fingers flipping through the pages again, slower this time, more deliberate, as though he were confirming something he already knew to be true. When he finally spoke, his tone was firm, stripped of hesitation.“I’m not mistaken, sir,” Holloway said quietly. “Not at all.”Xavier took a step closer, his frustration sharpening. “You’re telling me —” He stopped himself, jaw flexing, then spoke again, “—you’re tellin

Xavier sat alone in his office long after the meeting had ended, the skyline beyond the glass walls dimming as the afternoon slipped toward evening. He hadn’t moved from the chair behind his desk, not when the last executive excused himself, not when Ms. Collins quietly peeked in to ask if he needed anything. He waved her away without looking up. His attention was fixed on his phone, resting face down against the polished wood, as though it might vibrate again if he stared at it long enough.It did.The ping was sharp in the quiet room, the sound amplified by his nerves. A message notification flashed across the screen from the number he had just called minutes earlier. Xavier reached for the phone, his fingers already tightening around it, when it rang instead. He frowned slightly and answered without greeting.“Talk to me,” he said.The voice on the other end hesitated, then sighed. “Xav, I’ve got the footage. Clean angles. Multiple cameras. But there’s no audio.”Xavier leaned back

Xavier’s voice came from behind her.“Who was that?”Lilith froze.Not visibly. Not dramatically. But something inside her seized hard enough that for half a second, her lungs forgot what they were supposed to do.She did not turn immediately.She inhaled first,slow and measured,then turned around with what she hoped passed for surprise rather than panic.“Xavier?” she said. “What are you doing here?”He stood a few steps away, jacket still on, phone in his hand like he had just lowered it mid-call. His expression wasn’t angry. That would’ve been easier. Anger was loud, obvious. This was something quieter. Watchful. Careful. The kind of look a man wore when he was putting pieces together and didn’t yet like the picture forming.“That’s not what I asked,” he said evenly. “Who was the man you were talking to?”Her heart thudded once. Hard.Lilith blinked, brows knitting together as if she were genuinely trying to remember.“I… don’t know,” she said. “He asked me something. I think he th

“You’re late,” he said sharply, glaring at her.Lilith didn’t flinch.She stopped beside the table, set her bag down slowly, and exhaled as if she had just come from a long, exhausting day…which, technically, she had. Her shoulders rolled back, her chin lifted, and then she looked at him.“Yeah,” she said evenly. “I know. I’m sorry. I needed to get a solid alibi in place before I left.”Billy leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing. His fingers drummed once, twice, against the polished table.“An alibi,” he repeated flatly. “Is that what we’re calling it now?”Lilith pulled out the chair across from him but didn’t sit yet.“You’ve been ignoring my calls,” he continued. “I’ve been calling you for days.”She finally met his eyes. “Yes. Because I’ve been trying to meet the deadline you gave me.”Billy let out a humorless laugh. “All I’m hearing are excuses.”Lilith’s jaw tightened.“Take a damn seat.”He snapped.She did.The chair scraped softly against the floor as she lowered herself

Lilith washed her hands for the third time after finally finishing the batch of drugs.She had been spending nights at the lab, sleeping on chairs, surviving on caffeine and adrenaline, and today was no exception. The fluorescent lights hummed softly above her as water ran over her fingers, carrying away the last traces of chemicals she no longer even noticed the smell of. Fatigue tugged at her body, but fear didn’t touch her.Not anymore.She had beaten the timeline Billy had given her.His messages had been coming in steadily throughout the night, one after the other, growing more impatient as the hours passed. She had ignored every single one. There was no need to rush now. The work was done.Lilith turned off the tap and moved through the lab with quiet precision. She wiped down every surface, cleaned every instrument, and disposed of every material properly. Counters were scrubbed until they looked untouched. Trash was sealed and removed. Files were locked away. By the time she w
