THE PRICE OF A BILLIONAIRE’S LOVE THE SHADOW IN THE NETWORK
Night draped itself over Veridion City like a velvet warning. Lights glittered from the skyscrapers, reflections trembling against the glass as if the city itself felt the tension gathering in Damon Reed’s penthouse. Aria stood in front of the large monitor, arms crossed, eyes sharp. Lines of code scrolled in rapid succession—a digital map of transactions, cyber footprints, encrypted signatures. Every piece felt like a whisper, a clue, a challenge. Damon joined her, his presence grounding and dangerous all at once. “You’re sure this isn’t a false trail?” he asked. Aria didn’t look away from the screen. “It’s too clean to be real. And that makes it real.” Damon’s brow lifted. “Explain.” She typed quickly, pulling up a second window. “A guilty person tries to hide their steps. But a professional? They create a perfect trail. Smooth. Linear. Suspiciously flawless.” Damon’s gaze hardened. “A cleaner.” Aria nodded. “And not an amateur.” He exhaled slowly. “So they want us to follo

Aria woke to a quiet so thick it felt conspiratorial. The penthouse hummed with the low, constant breath of the city below, but inside, Damon’s men moved like silent sentinels—precise, watchful.The night had been long, but sleep had come in jagged pieces, more like a pause than rest.She padded into the living room and found Damon already awake, dark eyes hooded, a newspaper at his knees though he wasn’t reading it. He was staring at the floor-to-ceiling windows, shoulders tight with unresolved tension.When he finally looked at her, the flash of relief on his face was raw and too private for words.“You rested?” he asked.“As much as you can in a war zone,” she said, trying to mask the unease twisting in her stomach.Damon pushed to his feet. He moved toward her too quickly, stopping only when he was close enough that she could feel the heat of his body.“We have to move fast,” he said quietly. “Adrian didn’t just send a threat—we found this last night.”He handed her a thin photogr
THE PRICE OF A BILLIONAIRE’S LOVE THROUGH THE NIGHT
The penthouse felt smaller than ever.Damon stood in the center of the living room, hands clenched at his sides, fury radiating off him like heat from a furnace. His men swept the balcony, checking every corner, scanning the rooftops across the street.Aria hovered near the cracked marble where the phone had shattered.She still couldn’t believe Adrian had been close enough to throw it.Close enough to watch them.Close enough to hear them.The realization made her skin crawl.Damon turned to her sharply. “You okay?”Aria nodded, though her throat felt tight. “I’m fine. Just… shaken.”He exhaled hard, running a hand through his hair. “I should’ve seen this coming.”“Damon,” she said softly, “you’re not responsible for Adrian’s madness.”His eyes lifted to hers — sharp, vulnerable, tormented.“I was supposed to protect you.”Aria stepped closer. She didn’t touch him yet — she learned Damon only let people in when he initiated the closeness. But she stood near enough that he felt her pr

Aria followed Damon into his penthouse, the air crackling with an tension that wasn’t just fear — it was everything unspoken between them.The place was dimly lit, shadows stretching across the polished floor, the city lights bleeding in through the massive windows. For the first time, the penthouse didn’t feel like a luxurious fortress.It felt like a cage.A place where every emotion was magnified.Where there was nowhere to hide.Damon locked the door behind them, the heavy click echoing like a warning.Aria set her purse down on the console table. “You’re tense.”“I’m trying not to be,” Damon said, shrugging off his jacket. “It’s not working.”His voice was low, rough, strained.Aria hesitated before stepping closer. “You’re allowed to be scared.”Damon’s head snapped up. “I’m not scared for me.”Aria’s heart tightened.Damon took a breath and rubbed the back of his neck — the closest she’d ever seen him to… unraveling.“I want you where I can see you,” he admitted. “Where I can p

Aria had never heard silence scream so loudly.Damon didn’t move after the words left his mouth. He stood like a man carved from stone, shoulders rigid, eyes burning with something dark and terrifying.His brother.Adrian.Here.Inside her building.Aria felt a cold wave crawl up her spine.“Damon,” she whispered, “why would he come here himself?”Damon’s jaw clenched so tightly she could hear the strain in his voice.“To prove a point.”“What point?”“That I can’t protect the people I care about.”Aria’s heart skipped — not at the danger, but at the quiet confession buried inside his words.Damon cared.And Adrian knew it.Before Aria could respond, Damon grabbed his phone and typed something rapidly.“Damon—”“I’m calling in my private security unit,” he said, voice clipped. “Not the company guards. Not the police. People I trust.”“Your men?”His eyes flickered to hers.“Men who won’t hesitate to shoot if they have to.”Aria exhaled sharply. “This is spiraling too far.”“This start

The silence in Aria’s office felt heavier than the threat itself.Damon didn’t move. He stood impossibly still, his jaw locked, his eyes burning with something violent and cold. Leo looked between them nervously, as if unsure whether to speak or flee.Aria finally broke the silence.“Damon—”“No.” His voice was low, dangerous. “This ends now.”She swallowed. “We can’t back down. Not when we’re so close.”“I’m not talking about the case,” he said. “I’m talking about you.”Aria blinked. “Me?”Damon turned to Leo sharply.“Out. Now.”Leo didn’t argue. He nodded once, backing out of the office and shutting the door behind him.The second they were alone, Damon stepped toward her.Not fast.Not aggressive.But deliberate.Controlled.Like a storm choosing where to strike.“You’re done working alone,” he said quietly. “From this moment, you stay with me.”Aria stiffened. “Damon—”“No.” He cut her off again. “You stay with me at the office. You stay with me outside the office. You stay where
