Celeste sat on the edge of the bed, nevertheless retaining the bloody glove she observed in Damien’s coat. Her hands shook. Her breath got here in short, shallow bursts. the entirety inside her screamed to run, however her heart whispered something else.

The door creaked open.

Damien stepped in, pale and bruised. His shirt was torn. His left arm hung limp. Blood stained the side of his pants. He gave the impression of being dragged through hell.

“Damien,” she stated softly, rising to her feet.

He met her eyes. It wasn’t me.”

“I need to trust you,” she whispered, “But this was in your pocket.” She held up the glove.

He gazed at it, then glanced away. “It’s not mine.”

“Then whose is it?”

Damien didn’t answer. He walked past her and sat on the armchair. He looked exhausted, broken.

“Talk to me,” Celeste said. “Please. No more lies.”

He looked at her for a long moment. Then he nodded.

“You deserve the truth.”

Celeste sat opposite him, clutching the glove like it was her only

    "Someone sold us out."Celeste's brother was breathing hard. Blood dripped from his arm. They'd barely made it out of the warehouse alive."What happened?" Damien demanded."Ambush. We walked right into it. Twenty men. Maybe more. They knew exactly where we'd be. What route we'd take. Everything."Celeste felt cold spread through her chest. "How many did we lose?""Four dead. Six wounded. The rest scattered. “Her brother leaned towards the wall. "a person in our camp is feeding them information."They were in a secure residence throughout the metropolis. one-of-a-kind from the others. Only three people knew about this location. Celeste. Damien. And her brother."We need to figure out who," Damien said."I already know who." Her brother pulled out his phone. Showed them a photo. "Caught this right before the shooting started. Look at the corner. Behind the crates."Celeste zoomed in. A man. Older. Familiar face. Her stomach dropped."Professor Laurent," she whispered.Her old tutor. Th

    "They want to make me king."Damien stated it like he was confessing to murder. They have been nonetheless in the ruins….still trying to process the whole thing Viktor had instructed them.Celeste stared at him. "What?""The Kavanagh faction. The ones who survived. They reached out two days ago. Offered me leadership of a new unified dynasty." Damien looked away. "I didn’t tell you because I knew what you’d think.""What do I think?" Celeste felt anger rising. "You kept this from me?""I was going to refuse. I just needed time to figure out how.""Time? We don’t have time. We’re being hunted. My twin is starting wars. Mila’s captured. And you’re thinking about becoming king?"Viktor cleared his throat. "If I may interrupt. The offer isn’t just about power. It’s about resources. The Kavanagh faction still controls shipping routes. Banks. Weapons suppliers. Everything you need to win this war.""I don’t want to win by becoming what we’re fighting against," Damien said."Then you’ll lose

    "We're not going to that lighthouse."Damien blocked the door. His face was set. "It's suicide, Celeste. You know that.""Then what do you suggest?" Celeste grabbed her jacket. "My twin is out there starting wars. My mother claims she can stop it. We're out of options.""We always have options.""Name one."Damien opened his mouth. Closed it. He had nothing.Her brother stepped between them. "There's a third choice. We reach out to our allies. The ones who survived the data leak. Build an army before we move.""That takes time we don't have," Celeste said. "Eight hours until the London attack.""So we split up," her brother suggested. "I'll gather allies. You two go to the lighthouse. We coordinate from there."It wasn't a great plan. But it was something.Celeste's phone rang. Unknown number. She was getting tired of those."Don't answer it," Damien warned.She answered anyway. Put it on speaker.A man's voice. Old, rough. "Miss Belmont. We need to talk.""Who is this?""Someone who

    "I was supposed to kill you while you turned eighteen."Celeste's brother spoke without looking at her. They were still watching the video feed. Seraphina wearing Celeste's face. The world is about to blow up."What?" Celeste turned to him."My final assignment. They trained me for my whole life." He finally met her eyes. "On your eighteenth birthday, I was supposed to put a bullet on your head."Damien moved nearer. His hand went to his gun. "And?""And that I could not do it. I ran instead. That's when they erased me. Made everyone think I was dead. Hunted me for years." Her brother's voice was flat. Empty. "But my memories are coming back now. All of them. Every horrible thing they made me do."The room felt too small. Celeste couldn't breathe. "Why are you telling me this now?""Because we're out of time. Your twin just killed someone important on that video. Started something we can't stop. And the only way to fix it is if I tell you everything I know.""Then talk," Damien said.

    "That gunshot wasn't real."Mila's voice cut through the panic. Everyone froze."What?" Celeste's heart was still racing. "We heard it. We heard the child scream.""It was a recording. I've heard that exact sound file before." Mila's eyes were distant. Remembering. "In the Belmont archives. Audio file B-447. Used for psychological manipulation during interrogations."Damien grabbed Mila's shoulders. "Are you sure?""I'm positive. The scream duration was 2.3 seconds. The echo pattern matched an indoor chamber, not outdoor like that location would be. And the gunshot was a Beretta 92, but the men outside are carrying Glocks."Everyone stared at her."How do you know all that?" Celeste's brother asked.Mila blinked. I looked confused. "I don't know. I just... do."Outside, the voice called again. "Last chance. Come out now."But something had shifted. If the gunshot was fake, maybe everything else was too. Maybe Elena and the boy were somewhere else entirely."We're not surrendering," Da

    “She’s burning up again.”Damien pressed a moist material to Celeste’s brow. It had been three lengthy days because they escaped the Belmont property. 3 days hiding in this antique, half-damaged safehouse within the middle of nowhere. 3 days of looking at her fight the contamination and waft inside and outside of fevered dreams.“The antibiotics aren’t kicking in fast enough,” Mila stated quietly from the entrance. She appeared like she hadn’t slept in per week. None of them had.Celeste’s brother paced the small living room, strolling his hand through his hair. “We need a real doctor.”“Too risky,” Damien said, not even looking up. “Every hospital is being watched. One visit and we’re done.”“So we just sit here and watch her die?”“She’s not going to die.” Damien’s tone was sharp. Unshakeable. Like he could make it true just by saying it.But Celeste felt like she was dying. Everything was heat and noise and broken pieces of memory. Her mother’s face. The fire at the estate. Elena t
