When Victoria arrived at her apartment, the silence closed around her. She felt gloomy, and her eyes in the dark window looked detached, like a stranger’s.

So the boy has a mother, and he’s engaged. I guess it’s time to focus on why I’m here.

She laughed, a short, bitter sound. She felt so stupid. Had she not learned her lesson?

Victoria got a phone call from the agency. She had landed the role of the second lead, which meant she would be acting with Cordelia, her dogs, and meeting them more oft

  • Rise From Ashes   waste of effort

    She returned to her chair, picked up her coffee, and took another unhurried sip. Blood ran down his side in a bright, steady ribbon, dripping onto the floor with a soft tap, tap, tap that filled the silence between his ragged breaths. She watched it fall with the bored interest of someone checking the weather.“Dave,” she called, without raising her voice.The door at the top of the stairs opened instantly, as if he had been standing with his ear against it. “Yes, boss?”“Bring me some breakfast. In here.” She considered. “Bacon. And the good juice, not the one that tastes like a pencil.”A long, horrified pause drifted down the stairs. “...In the basement, boss?”“Is there a problem with the basement?”“No, boss. No problem at all. Right away, boss.”His footsteps pounded away at a speed that suggested he intended to be somewhere very far from here very soon.Victoria turned back to her prisoner. Killian’s head had dropped forward, chin against his chest, his eyes squeezed shut and h

  • Rise From Ashes   Hello rich kid

    “Boss!” Dave, the man from yesterday, sprinted into the hall carrying a tray with both hands and the stiffness of a bomb-disposal technician. He bowed so low that the toast slid dangerously close to the edge. “Right here, boss. Eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, two kinds of juice because we didn’t know which. Coffee as well.”“Put it on the table.” She took the coffee from the tray instead and breathed in the steam like a woman who had been reunited with a lost love. “I’ll eat after I visit my prisoner. Bob!”Bob materialised from nowhere, a square man with a shaved head and the posture of a soldier. “Boss.”“Keep the training going. After breakfast, run the drill again. And Bob.” She sipped. “Nobody goes near the basement. Not for water, not for curiosity, and absolutely not for screams.”“What if there are screams?”“Then they’re working,” Victoria said sweetly, and walked away.The basement door sat at the end of a cold corridor, an iron thing with a rusted handle. It groaned open as she

    He heard the words only after they had left his mouth. Roman’s head snapped round. Leo’s eyebrows climbed slowly towards his hairline.“I mean,” Lucas said, far too fast, “I mean that I am furious. Furious. That is a security breach. That is a threat to my family.” He shoved a hand through his hair, then did it again, harder, until it stood up in black spikes and he looked like a man who had been dragged through a hedge.He breathed in through his nose, out through his mouth, and fought the ridiculous, treacherous smile trying to creep onto his face.“Papa,” Leo said kindly, patting his arm with a milk-sticky hand, “you’re being weird.”“I’m not being weird.”“You are a bit red,” Roman offered.“One more word, Roman, and you’re back to learning sign language.”Lucas leaned in close to his son and asked softly, the way one approaches a skittish deer, "Leo, do you know where we can find the pretty lady?"Leo's eyes narrowed. He looked at his father for a long, suspicious moment, the way

  • Rise From Ashes   The secret

    The next morning, Leo woke to the sound of his father's voice, low and tense, coming from the living room. It was far too early for visitors. He slid off the bed in his socks, dragged his blanket behind him like a tiny king, and padded down the hallway.Lucas was on the sofa with a laptop on his knees and a cold cup of coffee he had clearly forgotten about. Beside him sat Roman, leaning so close to the screen that his nose nearly touched it. On the screen, a man in a hat walked calmly out of Killian's company building as though he were leaving a bakery.Leo rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing?"Roman went rigid. His whole body jerked upright, his knees banged the coffee table, and the laptop wobbled dangerously. He slapped one hand over his own mouth as if the words might escape and bite him, then stabbed the other hand at Leo, finger trembling, eyes the size of saucers."He..." Roman's voice came out muffled behind his palm. "He... he talked! He TALKED!"Lucas did not even look up.

  • Rise From Ashes   Abduction

    She did not take the elevator. Elevators had cameras and waiting people, and a tight space with no way out. She took the stairs, one hand on the rail, her eyes on her phone. Floor by floor, she watched the screen. Beth was at her desk in her office. Killian was bent over a pile of documents, his pen moving.Her thumb hovered over a button. In that quiet stairwell, the only thing she could hear was her own breathing, and under it, a thought she could not push away.What if Leo is mine? What if I lost five years of him, five years of his first words, his first steps, his first birthday, and I never knew?Her hand trembled. Her eyes burned. For one second, she was not the cold woman with a hidden gang. She was just a mother afraid of the truth.She closed her eyes, breathed in, and breathed out. When she opened them again, they were clear and steady.She tapped the button.The lights went out.Shouts rose from the floor above, but she was already moving. She reached the right door and op

  • Rise From Ashes   Coincident

    When the day was over, Lucas took them to a hotel restaurant for dinner.The moment they walked in, everyone turned to look. Conversations stopped, forks paused in the air, and a few guests quietly lifted their phones to take pictures. Lucas walked in front in his dark suit, Victoria beside him in a soft dress with her hair falling around her shoulders, and Leo held both their hands. They looked like a fantasy couple stepped out of a novel, with a small prince between them.They were led to a quiet table. A waitress came to take their orders, but her eyes kept drifting to Leo. She looked at him, then looked away, then looked at him again.“What is it?” Lucas asked, annoyed.The waitress jumped. “I’m so sorry, sir. It’s just that your son looks like your wife.”Lucas turned to Victoria, shocked.Victoria did not move. Slowly, she looked at Leo, and Leo was already looking back at her. For a moment, no one spoke.“That’s okay,” Lucas said at last, breaking the silence. “Take our order.”
