Third POV

The hours ticked by, the sun dipping below the horizon as Enzo drove through the night. He stopped at a diner to grab a bite to eat, his eyes scanning the crowded room as he waited in line.

He ordered a burger and a cup of coffee, his eyes fixed on the food as he waited for it to be prepared. The diner was bustling with activity, the sounds of sizzling food and conversation filling the air.

Enzo's eyes lifted, his gaze scanning the room as he waited for his food. He saw a mix of people, from families with young children to couples on dates.

He took his food and sat down at a table, his eyes fixed on the burger as he took a bite. The flavors exploded on his tongue, and he chewed slowly, savoring the taste.

He finished his meal and stood up, his eyes scanning the room as he walked out of the diner. The cool night air hit him, and he took a deep breath, his chest expanding as he filled his lungs.

He walked back to his car,

    Third POVJulian smiled at him, dropping the jacket on the dresser, moving towards the bed frame, leaned back on the bed, stretching his arms and wincing a little when he accidentally put pressure on his injured wrist. Cassiel entered the room, noticing the slight grimace on Julian’s face.“You okay?” Cassiel asked, walking closer.Julian nodded, trying to mask his discomfort. “I’m fine. Just... a bit sore.”Cassiel sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to gently take Julian’s hand. He inspected the wrist, his touch surprisingly tender. “You shouldn’t put too much strain on it. I’ll have Dr. Lee check it again.”Julian smiled faintly. “It’s not that bad. I just... I just need some air. I was thinking about going out for a bit.”Cassiel raised an eyebrow. “Out?”“Yeah,” Julian replied, his voice soft but firm. “Maybe the amusement park. I just... need to clear my head.”Cassiel hesitated, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Alone?”Julian glanced

    Third POV Cassiel walked into the kitchen, his expression firm as usual. Miss Maria, busy kneading dough, looked up and gave a slight nod. “Make something light for Julian,” Cassiel ordered, his tone calm but decisive. “And when it’s ready, inform me in the study.” “Yes, sir,” Miss Maria replied, already moving to prepare the meal. Cassiel didn’t linger. He strode out of the kitchen and made his way to the study, pulling out his phone and initiating a video call to Enzo. The call barely rang twice before Enzo’s face appeared on the screen, looking a bit rough but still managing a smirk. “About to drop over, boss,” Enzo said, wiping what seemed to be smudges of dirt from his face. “Just need to freshen up first.” Cassiel didn’t smile. “Be cautious. The Lion Boys have been alerted about the massacre. Someone’s leaking information, and I’m not in the mood to deal with a retaliatory strike right now.” Enzo raised an e

    Third POVAround NoonCassiel glanced at Julian, who was already awake, stretching lazily on the bed. A faint smile tugged at his lips as he approached the bed."You're finally awake," Cassiel murmured, brushing his fingers through Julian's messy hair.Julian blinked sleepily, giving him a weak smile. "Yeah... How long have you been up?""A while," Cassiel replied. "You seemed so peaceful, I didn’t want to wake you."Julian huffed softly, pulling the sheets closer. "I didn’t think I’d be able to sleep at all after... everything."Cassiel's eyes softened. "You needed the rest." He placed a gentle kiss on Julian's forehead before carefully helping him sit up. "Come on, let’s get you to the shower."Julian tried to protest. "I can manage—"Cassiel cut him off with a stern look. "No arguments. You can barely move without wincing."Julian pouted, but his stubbornness faltered under Cassiel's unwavering gaze. "Fine... but you don’t have to baby me."

    Third POVJulian stirred awake, his body aching from the night before, but the ache was one of satisfaction. The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Cassiel was still next to him, lying on his side, his arm draped possessively over Julian’s waist.Julian tried to shift, but the movement stirred Cassiel awake. Without opening his eyes, Cassiel’s hand tightened around Julian’s waist, pulling him closer.“Where do you think you’re going?” Cassiel murmured, his voice still rough with sleep.Julian couldn’t help but smile. “I thought you’d be too tired to hold me hostage again.”Cassiel finally opened his eyes, a lazy smirk appearing. “I’m never too tired when it comes to you.”Julian bit his lower lip, heat creeping up his neck. “You’re impossible.”Cassiel rolled over, pinning Julian beneath him. His hand traced the curve of Julian’s neck, his lips brushing against his jaw. “Impossible, huh? I’ll show you impossibl

    Third POV“I’m not planning to,” Cassiel growled. He kissed lower, slower, his hands spreading Julian’s thighs open, settling between them like he belonged there.Julian bit his lip hard, breath catching as Cassiel's mouth pressed hot, open kisses along the inside of his thigh. “God—Cassiel…”“Say it again.”“Cassiel,” he moaned, louder this time, fingers fisting in the sheets.Cassiel’s tongue traced maddening patterns, his grip tightening around Julian’s hips. “I want you undone,” he murmured. “Shaking. Gasping my name until it’s the only thing you remember.”Julian’s response was a sharp cry as Cassiel’s mouth wrapped around him completely, tongue swirling, sucking in rhythm until Julian couldn’t speak. Couldn’t breathe. He cried out, heels digging into the bed, back arching uncontrollably.“Fuck—stop—” Julian gasped. “I can’t—too much—”Cassiel pulled back, lips wet, pupils blown. “Not even close to done with you.”He climbed up, kissed J

    Third POV“I didn’t,” Cassiel muttered.“You knew?”“I suspected. Enzo warned me. We baited him but didn’t expect an ambush this soon.”Julian laughed bitterly. “Of course not. I mean, why would anything in this house be normal?”Cassiel helped him up. “I’m sorry you had to see this.”Julian shoved his hand away. “Sorry? I almost died! You didn’t think to tell me there were traitors in the house?”“I was going to—”“When?” Julian’s voice rose. “After I got a bullet in the head?”Cassiel stayed silent.Julian’s breath was ragged. “You lied. You let me live here thinking I was safe.”“You are. Now.” Cassiel turned to his guards. “Secure the bodies. Burn everything. Sweep for survivors.”“Yes, sir,” they echoed, quickly moving.Cassiel guided Julian to a chair. “You need medical attention.”“I need answers.”“You’ll get them. But first—”Julian slapped his hand away again. “Don’t touch me.”Cassiel froze.Juli

    Third POV "Axel." "Why am I here? What does Cassiel want from me?" Axel didn’t answer that. He pushed the brown envelope and a bag toward Bash. "Eat. And read this. Memorize it." "What is it?" "Your new identity." Bash didn’t move, so Axel opened the envelope himself and pulled out the contents. "Name: Gavin Kingsley. British national. Born in Oxford, England. Educated at Harrow School, studied Politics and Philosophy at Cambridge. Your parents are diplomats, currently stationed in Berlin. You’re a consultant in international relations. You’ve been on sabbatical. That’s your story. Learn it." Bash blinked. "British?" Axel raised a brow. "You speak clean enough. With a little work, you’ll pass." "Why all this?" Axel shrugged. "Because Cassiel said so. He wants you to be invisible but valuable. This is how." Bash set the bottle down and reached for th

    Third POVCassiel stepped into the underground home, quiet and unhurried. The five guards stood upright at once. Without a word, he raised the brown envelope, then pointed toward the locked door at the far end.“Bring him out,” he said.The guards moved swiftly. Metal clanked. A lock twisted. The door creaked open.Bash looked up from the floor, face pale, eyes sunken, beard rough. He didn’t speak. Didn’t move.“Get him,” Cassiel said again, and two guards entered, helping Bash up by both arms.He winced, groaning, but didn’t resist. “Where… where are you taking me?” His voice cracked.Cassiel didn’t respond. He turned and walked toward the far end of the hall, where the elevator waited. The men followed, Bash limping between them.In the elevator, silence ruled. The soft hum of motion was the only sound until it stopped at the secret garage. The door slid open, and the guards helped Bash into the backseat of the black G-Wagon.Cassiel took t

    Third POV“Then you should’ve trusted me,” Julian said. “I would’ve played along. I would’ve helped.”“I couldn’t risk it. You wear your heart too open.”Julian scoffed. “That’s rich coming from the man who kills with a smile.”Cassiel turned sharply. “Don’t push it.”Julian folded his arms. “Then tell me where Bash is. I want to see him.”“No.”“What?”“It’s not safe.”Julian’s brows knitted. “Not safe? From who?”“We’re being watched. Closely. There are spies inside this estate. Possibly even staff. If anyone finds out Bash is alive—”“I won’t tell anyone!”Cassiel stepped forward, lowering his voice. “It’s not about you telling. It’s about someone seeing. One slip, one wrong door opened, one misplaced word—and he dies for real this time.”Julian’s lips quivered. “So what am I supposed to do? Pretend like none of this happened? Smile? Sleep beside you like nothing’s wrong?”“Yes,” Cassiel said without flinching. “Exactly
