The city below had begun to stir, yet within these walls, time felt suspended, held in the quiet intimacy of the moment. Scarlett sat on the edge of the bed, hands clasped in her lap, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, she allowed herself to breathe fully without fear, without hesitation, without the weight of the past pressing on her shoulders. Sebastian entered quietly, his footsteps almost inaudible, and paused for a moment to take in the sight of her. His eyes softened, the usual intensity replaced with something warmer, gentler, a quiet reverence. He crossed the room, settling beside her, and she leaned against him without a word. No explanations, no apologies, just a shared understanding that they had survived, and that survival had brought them here to each other. “I never imagined this… this peace,” he murmured, his voice low and rough around the edges
The penthouse was quiet now, the storm outside reduced to a soft drizzle. But inside, Scarlett and Sebastian felt the weight of what was coming an invisible tension that clung to their skin like a second shadow. They had survived every trial, every secret, every betrayal but the final confrontation loomed.Sebastian paced the room, his hands clenched at his sides. “Everything we’ve built… everything we’ve fought for… it could all fall apart in a heartbeat,” he muttered, almost to himself. His usual composed demeanor had given way to raw intensity.Scarlett reached out, stopping him with a gentle hand on his arm. “Look at me, Sebastian. We’re not alone. We never have been. Every time we thought we were cornered, we found a way through together. And we will now too.”He stopped, meeting her gaze, and she saw the storm in his eyes mirrored her own fear. “I’m scared, Scarlett,” he admitted, voice low and unguarded. “I’ve never been this afraid… not for myself, but for you. For us.”Tears
The night was heavy, the city lights blurred by sheets of rain, as if the world itself held its breath. Scarlett’s hands trembled slightly as she held onto Sebastian, feeling the tension radiating off him in waves. He had been silent since the confrontation earlier, his jaw tight, eyes dark with thoughts he refused to share.“Sebastian…” she whispered, tracing a finger along his arm. “Talk to me. Please.”He exhaled slowly, his hands resting on her shoulders, grounding her. “Every choice we’ve made… every risk we’ve taken… it all comes down to this moment.” His voice was a low rumble, heavy with determination and fear. “I won’t let them take you. I won’t let anything destroy what we’ve built.”Her heart ached at the raw intensity in his gaze. She wanted to scream, to plead, to beg him to stay safe but the words stuck in her throat. Instead, she pressed her forehead against his chest, letting herself feel the steady beat of his heart. It was a reminder that love, even in the midst of c
The penthouse was quiet, but the air was thick with tension. Scarlett paced by the window, her reflection fractured by the city lights, each movement echoing her inner turmoil. Her mind kept circling back to the secrets Sebastian had uncovered, the threats lingering like a storm on the horizon.Sebastian watched her from across the room, leaning against the wall, his expression unreadable. The weight of everything they had faced pressed on him, but he refused to show it. “Scarlett,” he said softly, making her pause mid-step.She turned to him, eyes wide, searching his face. “I can’t… I can’t stop thinking about what’s coming. About what they might do to us.”He crossed the distance between them, taking her hands in his. “Then let me carry it for you. Let me face the darkness so you don’t have to face it alone.”Her heart ached at the intensity in his gaze. “I don’t want you to get hurt. I can’t…” Her voice faltered, tears brimming again. “I can’t lose you too.”“You won’t lose me,” he
