**Kane's POV**

The study settled back into quiet after Nadia left. Not empty — quiet. There was a difference. The hallway outside remained active in the way this house always was, footsteps moving in and out, doors opening and closing somewhere in the distance, conversations kept deliberately low. But the room itself stilled.

Kane stayed where he was. His attention held on the closed door for another moment before shifting back to the desk.

The paper she'd left behind was still there. Stud

  • THE COST OF SAVING HIM    KANE

    Kane's POVThe private jet landed just before noon. Kane stepped onto the runway without waiting for anyone to open the door, and a line of black SUVs waited several meters away with their engines already running. Lev walked beside him holding a tablet. "The meeting starts in twenty minutes."Kane adjusted his shirt cuff. "Move it to fifteen.""I'll inform them," Lev said, without question.The convoy left the airstrip almost immediately, and the city outside the window looked nothing like home — lower buildings, less traffic, more warehouses than offices. Kane watched it pass in silence until the vehicles pulled into the compound of one of his business partners.The conference room was already occupied. Five men stood the moment he entered, greeted him respectfully, and took their seats again. Kane sat at the head of the table and the meeting began immediately, no introductions, no unnecessary conversation. Contracts were pushed across the polished surface, profit projections filled

  • THE COST OF SAVING HIM    A QUIET AFTERNOON

    The morning after Kane left felt longer than it should have.I wandered. Not with a destination, just moving through rooms because staying still felt worse. The new house was different from the last one — slightly smaller, slightly warmer somehow, though still far too large for the number of people actually living in it. I passed through the sitting room, looked out a window for a while, walked back through the hallway, and generally accomplished nothing useful for about an hour.Then I noticed the kitchen door was open.I almost walked past it. Then a smell reached me and I stopped completely — warm and sweet and familiar in a way that had nothing to do with expensive houses or security rotations or any of the past few weeks. It smelled like something my mother used to make on slow Sunday mornings, something that belonged to a version of life that felt very far away right now.I stood in the doorway for a moment. Inside, one of the older housekeepers was working at the counter, her h

  • 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    IN TROUBLE

    Nadia's POVThe room felt quieter than usual. Not because the house was empty — just because it felt distant, like the world outside was moving at a different speed from the one I was sitting in.I was cross-legged near the window with the laptop open in front of me, staring at absolutely nothing.

  • THE COST OF SAVING HIM    NADIA'S POV

    I stayed where I was for a second after Lev left. Not because I didn't hear him — because I'd suddenly become aware that I had reacted. That my pulse had done something unnecessary the moment he mentioned Kane's name. That was irritating. Kane coming back should not have meant anything to me. Pe

  • THE COST OF SAVING HIM    "MOVE MARA"

    Kane's POVThe office had been quiet after his father left. Nobody entered. Nobody interrupted. The city stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, indifferent and vast, while untouched files remained spread across the desk like a problem Kane hadn't decided to solve yet.He sat in the same pos

  • THE COST OF SAVING HIM    "I'LL REMOVE YOU FROM EVERYTHING I BUILT..."

    The office door opened halfway through the second report. Kane didn't look up immediately. There were only a handful of people who entered without announcement. His father happened to be one of them. He walked in calmly and closed the door behind him before crossing the office and sitting opposite
