Chapter 63

The estate was different before sunrise.

Not visibly. The stone and glass were the same. The grounds were the same. But the atmosphere had changed overnight in the way atmospheres changed when a decision had been made and everyone in the building could feel it even if nobody had announced it.

    Chapter 63The estate was different before sunrise.Not visibly. The stone and glass were the same. The grounds were the same. But the atmosphere had changed overnight in the way atmospheres changed when a decision had been made and everyone in the building could feel it even if nobody had announced it.I found Matthias in his office at five-thirty in the morning.Suit on. Tie straight. Phone to his ear, speaking in the particular quiet tone that meant whoever was on the other end was being given one opportunity to make the right choice."I don't care how long the relationship has been in place," he was saying. "You cut ties with him by the end of business today or you don't do business in this territory again." A pause. "No. That's not a threat. It's the situation." He hung up without waiting for a response.I leaned against the doorway. "Starting before dawn."He didn't look surprised to see me. Which meant he'd known I'd come. "I told you to sleep.""I did. Four hours. I'm fine." I

  • Reborn To Seduce My Bully's Alpha Father    He's not done with you

    CHAPTER 62The security wing had more people in it than it had twenty minutes ago.I noticed that before anything else. Two additional guards at the corridor entrance. Dante's second is already at the console. The particular quality of tension that filled a room when something had happened and the people in it were still processing what it meant.Matthias was standing in front of the main monitor with his hands at his sides and the expression he wore when something had moved beyond irritation into a different category entirely.I stepped up beside him and looked at the screen.Security footage. The outer gate. Timestamp from forty minutes ago.A black SUV was parked just outside the perimeter with its engine running. The driver's door is opening slowly.Caden stepped out.He was calm. That was the first thing. Not the frantic energy of someone acting on impulse or the barely contained fury he'd brought into the corridor earlier tonight. This was different. Deliberate. He walked to the

    Chapter 61The kiss should have been a mistake.It wasn't.It hit differently from the ones before it. Less managed. Less of both of us tracking what it meant and adjusting accordingly. His hand at the back of my neck, no space between us, the wall solid behind me, and none of the careful distance we'd been maintaining for two months.I held onto his shirt with both hands.Not a strategy. My hands decided before my head did and I let them because I was tired of my head running everything.He pulled back enough to look at me. His breathing had changed. The controlled version of him was still present but it was working harder than usual and we both knew it."You need to stop," he said."Stop what?""Looking at me like that.""I'm not doing anything.""You are." His voice dropped lower. "And you know exactly what you're doing."I held his gaze. "Sounds like your problem."Something shifted in his expression. Not amusement. The version of the almost-smile that had nothing light in it."Do

    Chapter 60The corridor was quiet after they took Caden away.Not peaceful. Just the specific emptiness that came after something violent had passed through a space and left it altered. The kind of quiet that had an echo in it.Dante left with the security team. Orders, containment, the procedural work of closing down what had happened. His footsteps faded and then it was just us.I was still holding the gun.I didn't realise it until Matthias reached for it."Give it to me," he said.Not a demand. Just a fact, stated plainly, with his hand held out and his eyes on my face rather than the weapon.My fingers were still tight around the grip. I made myself open them.Our hands touched briefly when he took it. He set it aside on the console without looking at it. His attention stayed on me."Are you hurt?""No.""Look at me properly.""I am looking at you.""You're looking through me." He moved closer. His hand came up and tilted my chin slightly, not roughly, just enough to make my eyes

    Chapter 59Everything went still.Not quiet. Still. The particular stillness of a moment that knows it matters.Caden stood at the end of the corridor with his hands in his pockets like he'd been invited. Like this was somewhere he had a right to be. Like breaking into the most secure building in the territory was something reasonable men did on a Saturday night.My grip on the gun didn't loosen."You should have stayed gone," I said.My voice came out steady. Steadier than the situation deserved, probably. But I'd learned that steadiness was its own kind of power.Caden smiled. The slow version. The one I'd memorised across two lifetimes because it always came right before something broke."You keep saying that," he said. "And yet.""Stop moving."He didn't stop.Dante shifted beside me, not dramatically, just the particular kind of stillness that preceded action. Caden glanced at him with the expression of someone acknowledging a minor obstacle."You're in the way," Caden said to h

    Chapter 58I lasted twenty-three minutes before I stopped pacing.The security screens had blurred into noise. Movement logs and camera feeds and data I could read enough of to know that nothing on them was telling me what I actually needed to know, which was where Matthias was and whether the message that said *he won't get there in time* had meant anything real.I picked up the radio. Put it down. Picked up my phone. Put it down.Then I opened the door and walked out.---Dante was in the hallway.Leaning against the opposite wall with his arms crossed like he'd been there the whole time. Which he probably had."You're not supposed to be out here," he said."I got restless.""That wasn't a suggestion to stay inside.""It felt like one."He looked at me with that expression he had, the one that gave nothing away but held a lot underneath."He's on his way back," he said."How long?""Soon.""That's not an answer.""It's the one I have."I crossed my arms. "Something's wrong. I can fe
