THE COST OF SAVING HIM ALONE AGAIN
Nadia's POVI woke up annoyed. Not because of the hospital, not because of my arm, not because of the fact that I was living in yet another unfamiliar house. No. I was annoyed because of a stupid head pat — a stupid, ridiculous, completely unnecessary head pat.I pulled the blanket over my face immediately, as if that would somehow erase the memory. It didn't, unfortunately, because the moment I closed my eyes I remembered exactly how close he'd been standing, the way he'd looked down at me, the almost-smile, and then — *happy to be home now?*I groaned into the pillow.I threw the blanket off and sat up. Not thinking about him today. Not happening. I got dressed, brushed my hair, ignored every thought that had his name attached to it, and headed downstairs.Breakfast was already prepared, the dining room quiet and warm, sunlight streaming through the large windows. One of the maids greeted me politely, I smiled, sat down, and immediately started eating. Peace. Finally — no Kane, no L
THE COST OF SAVING HIM TOO CLOSE
The file remained on the desk between them, untouched. Kane looked at it once, then away, and his father took another slow sip of tea, waiting, patient, like he already knew what the answer would be.Kane leaned back slightly. "I won't be available."His father looked at him, then said calmly, "No." A pause. "No objections." Another sip. "I wasn't asking, I was informing you."The room stayed quiet. His father placed the cup down and stood slowly. "The details are inside the file, you'll read them, you'll think about them," his eyes staying steady, "and you'll make the correct decision."Kane remained seated. His father adjusted his jacket and headed toward the door, then stopped halfway without turning. "You've been distracted lately," he said, and I don't tolerate distractions." Then the door opened and closed behind him, and the office went quiet.For several seconds Kane didn't move. Then he reached forward, closed the file, and stood.The drive back felt longer than usual — dar
THE COST OF SAVING HIM AN ASSESSMENT
Kane's POVThe hospital doors opened automatically and cold air met him immediately. Kane adjusted his sleeve once and kept walking — no rush, no delay — and the black SUV was already waiting outside with the driver standing beside it and the engine running. Lev stood near the car, looked at Kane once, and opened the back door. Kane got in, the door closed, and the car pulled away.Nobody spoke. Several minutes passed before Lev looked up from his phone. "Your father called."Kane looked outside. No reaction."He wants to see you."Silence."When," Kane said, still looking forward."Now," Lev answered immediately.Of course. Kane looked outside again and said nothing, and Lev returned to his phone, and the drive continued.Forty minutes later the gates opened onto a large property — old money, security, distance — and the car stopped. Kane stepped out and nobody greeted him, nobody needed to. Inside it was the same house, same silence, same atmosphere that had never changed in thirty

THE COST OF SAVING HIM ANOTHER LOCATION
Nadia's POVI didn't move for several minutes after he left, still not fully believing any of it — not the warehouse, not the video, not even the fact that Mara was safe. For some reason the thing my mind kept returning to was his face, not while he shot, not after, but before, that calm expression like he'd already decided, like my fear wasn't part of the equation at all. I looked away from nothing in particular. Wonderful.I stood slowly and this time nobody stopped me, though my arm protested immediately and I ignored it and walked to the window. Outside there were trees and private buildings, too clean and too expensive, and I stared for a second before looking away. Still a hospital. Still.A knock came and the nurse entered smiling politely, then stopped halfway when she saw I wasn't in bed. Her eyes moved to my arm, then to me. "You're standing."I nodded.She looked relieved, which was interesting, and walked in carrying folded clothes — my clothes — placing them carefully nea
THE COST OF SAVING HIM HOSPITAL DRAMA
The room stayed quiet. I looked at the phone, then at him, then back at the screen. Mara, walking and alive, and that was enough. I handed the phone back and Kane took it and neither of us spoke. For several seconds I just looked at my arm — bandaged, clean, like nothing had happened at all."...she's okay?" I asked quietly."Yes."I nodded once, small, then looked away. I'd expected relief to arrive and take over everything, the way it did in movies, that rush of warmth that made the hard thing feel worth it. Instead all I could think about was the warehouse. The chair. His voice saying *turn your head* in that same calm tone he used for everything, like none of it was extraordinary.My fingers tightened slightly against the blanket and I looked at my arm again. "...how long?""Two days."Two days. I nodded slowly and looked around the room — hospital, machine, window, door — and then back at him, and something settled in my chest that wasn't grief and wasn't relief and wasn't quite
THE COST OF SAVING HIM NADIA
"Ahhh!"I screamed before I could stop myself, jumping back against the wall as something small and dark shot past my feet the second I pushed the door open.A cat.It was a cat.I stood in the doorway with my hand pressed flat against my chest and watched it disappear into the darkness outside and
THE COST OF SAVING HIM CAUTION
Nadia's POV---I didn't mean to fall asleep.One second I was sitting on the couch staring at the dried blood on my coffee table and the next my eyes were closed and the apartment was dark and quiet and I was gone — the kind of deep, boneless sleep that only comes when your body has decided it is
THE COST OF SAVING HIM BACK TO THE CRIME SCENE
Nadia's POVHe came out ten minutes later.I was still in the car, arms crossed, staring at the warehouse wall like it had personally offended me — which, at this point, everything connected to this night had. Lev was outside leaning against the hood, doing the thing where he existed without making
THE COST OF SAVING HIM NADIA
Nadia's POV---Nobody spoke in the car.Lev drove. Kane sat beside me in the backseat, jaw set, one hand pressed against his side in a way that told me the wound was screaming even if his face wasn't. I watched him do it and said nothing because I had already said everything there was to say and n
