INICIAR SESIÓNLiora's POVMy heart pounded against my ribs as I rose to my feet.The moment the call ended, I immediately forwarded the recording I'd secretly captured to Jade.Please... let us not be too late.With trembling fingers, I opened the location-tracking app Derek and I had installed on each other's phones months ago.The loading icon spun, then a blinking blue dot appeared.Relief and terror collided inside me."I found him."My voice shook as I turned toward the bodyguards."We're leaving. Now."Neither of them wasted a second. They fell into step behind me as we rushed out of the house.The car sped through the streets, weaving between traffic while I kept my eyes glued to the moving location on my phone.The blue dot continued shifting; he was still moving.Please... stay alive.I quickly dialed Jade as she answered almost instantly. "Ma'am.""Send the recording to the police immediately. I want officers surrounding us, track our location. Use the recording as evidence. No delays.""
Derek's POVJust then, a waiter walked toward me."Can I get your order, sir?" he asked, forcing a smile.Before I could answer, my eyes landed on a man sitting alone with several expensive liquor bottles scattered across his table. He smoked a cigar leisurely, his gaze never leaving me.Why was he staring at me like that?"Sir?" the waiter called, pulling my attention back.I looked at him."I know I've seen you before, though I can't remember where." His smile remained, but his voice dropped so low I almost missed it. "You need to run. They're after you."They're here already?My eyes widened as I looked back at the stranger.He was still watching me as a slow smirk spread across his lips.He's definitely one of them.The waiter straightened up, raising his voice again as if nothing had happened."Alright, sir. I'll get your order right away."Then he walked off.My hands trembled as I pulled out my phone and quickly typed:[Liora, Lorenzo and his gang are after us. I don't even kno
Author's POVInside the convenience store, Elian stormed toward the cashier, fury radiating from every stride."Where is he?" he demanded, pressing the muzzle of his pistol against her forehead.The young cashier trembled so violently that her knees threatened to buckle."I-I don't know.""Don't lie to me.""I swear!" she cried, tears spilling down her cheeks. "He never came in here!"Elian's finger tightened around the trigger as his breathing turned slow and dangerous.Before he could pull it, one of the Blackwing members stepped beside him."Boss."Without taking his eyes off the terrified woman, Elian growled, "What?""Lorenzo's orders. Our targets are Derek, Mr. Gab, and Liora. No unnecessary casualties."Elian's jaw clenched.For several tense seconds, the pistol remained trained on the cashier before he finally lowered it with a frustrated snarl.Instead, he swung the back of his gun across a nearby display, glass exploded across the floor as shelves toppled over.Customers scr
Derek's POVI stepped out of the hospital and headed toward my car, pulling the door open."Sir."Rafe's voice came from behind me, making me turn."Elian has just been spotted leaving the hospital," he reported.I slid into the back seat, and he climbed in beside me.Cole started the engine as my gaze drifted back to the hospital entrance.At least the guard would keep her safe until I returned.As we pulled onto the road, I turned to Rafe. "So, where is he now?"Rafe pulled out his phone, the tracking map already displayed on the screen."He just left the hospital."A faint smile tugged at my lips."Splendid." I leaned back before saying, "Follow him.""Yes, sir."Cole pressed harder on the accelerator, and the engine roared as the car surged through.Minutes passed with the speedometer climbing steadily, then Rafe's expression suddenly changed."Wait..." He frowned at the tracker before turning the screen toward me. "He's heading straight toward us.”My eyes narrowed at the blinkin
Liora's POVMr. Gab's lips curved into a bitter, pain-filled smile. "I wish he was here to help."Derek frowned. "What do you mean?""The Blackwing always knew whenever someone was about to expose them. They found the group before they could act... and sadly, my son was one of them."His voice faltered as another tear slid down. "The five of them were marked for death, but my son managed to escape. He ran with everything he had until he made it home."He paused, swallowing hard. "Like I told you, once you're on their list, they dig into every detail of your life. They tracked my son's home... then they traced his older sister, my daughter who had moved away years earlier for work."My eyes widened.Years earlier... and they still found her? No wonder Elian had spoken about Derek as though he had known him for years."They dragged her back home. By then, my son had already told me everything. I had just returned..." His voice cracked. "...and right before my eyes, they shot them both."
Liora's POV*The next day*I was already dressed by the time the morning sun filtered through my curtains. Slinging my bag over my shoulder, I took one last steadying breath before stepping outside.Derek was already waiting beside the car, one hand resting on the open passenger door. The moment he saw me, he pulled it open even wider.Without a word, I slid into the seat.He circled the vehicle and climbed in beside me while Cole started the engine. Moments later, we pulled away from the house."I hope Mr. Gab is doing better." I said breaking the silence.Derek reached across the console and gently wrapped his hand around mine, his grip firm yet comforting."He'll be fine," he said quietly.I wanted to believe him. I released a slow breath and stared out the window as the city blurred past.We arrived at the hospital as Derek stepped out first before opening my door. I accepted his hand, and together we walked inside, he led me toward the doctor's office.The doctor rose from his c
Arriving home, Elara and Stephanie were seated in the living room.“Hi,” I greeted as I walked past them, but neither of them responded.I continued toward the bedroom, where I found Lucien on the bed, focused on his laptop, with Bianca sitting beside him.“Mummy! Mummy!” she called out excitedly,
“Welcome, mummy,” Bianca said, running toward me and hugging my legs, immediately I arrived home.A soft smile curled on my lips as I lifted her into my arms.“How do you feel?” I asked gently.“I’m fine,” she replied in a small voice.Seeing her always brought joy to my heart… yet a quiet reminder
“Lawyer Elliot, I want a divorce,” I said.His eyes widened in shock.Everyone had always believed that Lucien and I had a perfect marriage. Even though I once thought it was good, now I know better.I took out my phone and played the recording, then showed him the pictures. Elliot stared at them i
Liora’s POVArriving at the hospital, Bianca was fine but asleep. She had a small scratch on her head from bullies at her school.“Nurse Kay,” I said, barging into his office after seeing Bianca. Quietly, I turned on the recorder on my phone.“Hey, Mrs. Lucien,” he greeted, fear laced in his voice
