THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE A Stranger Called Husband
~ARIA~The days blurred together like a painting I didn't choose. As I spent two more days in this place, I realized that some cages didn't need bars to feel like prisons.Yes… I hadn’t been stopped from moving around and no one had shouted, locked doors, or threatened me, but still, I knew better than to call it freedom.And the woman I was counting on -Sienna- my lifeline, had gone completely silent. Not a single word since she promised she’d reach out again. I had waited, and waited, but her number never connected whenever I tried to call. There were no missed calls. No messages. Nothing, and that silence was starting to feel like an answer I didn’t want. But even in the uncertainty, I didn’t panic. I chose to watch. Not in fear or helplessness, but to learn to bide my time.The sterile walls no longer felt entirely foreign, and I’d started to notice the patterns. One of the guards outside my door had a slight limp on his right foot. One of the hallway cameras flickered precisely e
THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE Checkmate in the Dark
~CASSIAN~I haven’t slept since last night. Not for a damn second. And now, with the sun hanging high, it was already past noon. I’ve been drinking since the sky was still a dull, early gray—before the world remembered to wake up. Bourbon was my only company, glass after glass poured in silence, chasing a stillness that refused to come.Whatever was happening wasn’t supposed to be my problem.She wasn’t supposed to get under my skin.This whole marriage was just a contract, nothing more. A temporary arrangement tied to convenience, legacy, and leverage not love. And we haven’t even been married that long, plus I’d planned the exit before the ink dried up. Yet, here I was, half-drunk, wide awake, and angrier than I’ve been in years… because she looked at me like I was a stranger, which I'd been to her since the beginning anyways.I tipped the glass back again, letting the bourbon scorch its way down my throat.“Good,” I muttered, pouring the last of it with a steady hand.Across the ro
THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE Dialing Betrayal
~ARIA’S POV~The morning sun bled through the curtains and cast its little, faint rays on my face. My eyes flickered open. This was my first full night of sleep since… well, I didn’t know when but the nurse had said “several days.” I stretched in the crisp, expensive and super comfy sheets. The mattress was soft and supportive so for a few disorienting seconds, I thought I was in some luxurious hotel suite until I sat up and remembered… I didn’t know where I was.Some minutes later, someone brought in breakfast: a silver tray with steaming eggs, crisp toast, rich coffee, and fresh fruit sliced. I was cautious at first, but hunger won out over suspicion. It tasted too good, almost decadent and that made my situation worse. I wondered why a stranger would feed me like royalty in a place that smelled like antiseptic and secrets.Just then, my mind went back to when I woke up the previous day.He had come into my room like he owned the oxygen in it- tall, cold, and silent. He didn’t say
THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE Not Yours to Keep
~CASSIAN‘S POV~It had been three days.Seventy-two hours since the explosion.Seventy-two hours since she’d last opened her eyes.Aria hadn’t moved since she was brought back.She was stabilized, monitored twenty-four-seven, and placed in the most secure wing of our private Wolfe facility. The best physicians, trauma experts, and neuro-specialists had been flown in under aliases. No one knew her name. No one asked.Still, she hadn’t woken. There has been no twitch or stir.Just the steady beat of her heart on the monitor.Everything else had gone silent.Sienna was gone - ghosted through every surveillance net we cast. Our facial recognition grid came up empty. No digital footprint. No chatter on the dark web. She had either help from someone very powerful… or someone very close.And the files - those encrypted messages sent from the shadows had led us nowhere. No IP. No digital trail. Just scrubbed, military-grade scrambling that left my best analysts running in circles. Even Vaughn
THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE The Illusion of Control
~CASSIAN~I tasted blood.It pooled thick on my tongue, bitter and metallic - like copper and ash. I didn’t know if it came from my mouth or my broken lip, or if I’d bitten down during the blast. It didn’t matter.Everything inside me roared.My ears rang with a high, piercing screech - not just a sound, but a living thing. It drilled deep, vibrating through my skull like shards of glass. I could hear nothing else-not the fire, not the crumbling steel, not even my own breathing.Only that awful, relentless ringing, like the world itself had been muted… or maybe destroyed.I blinked through the smoke. My vision blurred.And that’s when I saw her.Aria.Crushed beneath me, limp, dust in her hair, blood at the corner of her mouth. My body had shielded hers from the worst of it, but not all. Not enough. Her skin was too pale, her chest barely moving.Panic cracked through my ribs harder than the blast had.“Aria.” My voice cracked, raw and desperate. “Look at me.”No response.Her chest r
THE WOLFE LEGACY: HEIRESS OF THE EMPIRE The Warehouse Gambit
~CASSIAN’S POV~I crushed the phone under my heel. Glass splintered beneath the weight, but the fury in my chest didn’t subside.“Fan out,” I ordered into my comms. “I want every surveillance angle pulled, every drone launched, and every exit from this alley sealed. Shadow Team Prime - full deployment.”The team moved like a well-oiled machine. But I didn’t wait.I stormed through the swinging door into a back corridor that reeked of damp concrete and rust. There were three exits, but no cameras.They planned this. They knew how we’d respond. Someone fed them intel.Inside job.My jaw clenched.“Report,” I barked.Vaughn’s voice came through. “All surrounding feeds disabled. Four-block blackout. No public cameras either. This was coordinated.”“Get me schematics on nearby buildings. Track her device's last ping. Scrape all motion sensors we’ve installed downtown.”“Already working on it. We’ve got a signal that is weak and mobile. Heading north.”I pushed back outside and climbed into
