Third POV

The tea’s subtle aroma drifted between them. Julian wrapped his fingers around the warm mug, letting it heat his palms. He looked out the window, eyes catching the faint glow of stars beginning to form in the darkening sky.

“I forgot how good quiet could feel,” he said softly, not looking at Cassiel.

“Me too,” Cassiel replied, his voice low.

A beat passed. Then another.

Julian glanced at him. “You don’t always have to fix things with grand gestures, you know.”

Cassiel met his eyes. “This wasn’t about fixing. Just… remembering who we are without the noise.”

Their eyes locked for a moment longer, and something unspoken passed between them—an understanding, a truce, maybe even the fragile beginnings of something new.

They returned to their food.

The silence that followed wasn’t awkward or heavy. It was warm. Familiar.

The kind of silence that only existed between two people who no longer needed to speak just to be understood.

Outside, the night settled in.

Inside, two souls sat

  • The Devil In A Suit   Chapter 211

    Third POV Three years later. It was Christmas Eve, and the mansion was alive. The scent of cinnamon, roasted turkey, fresh bread, and pine needles danced in the air. Lights twinkled from every corner of the villa, and the large fir tree in the center of the living room was buried beneath glittering ornaments, plushy figurines, and wrapping papers messily tucked under its boughs. Miss Maria stood in the kitchen doorway with her arms crossed, surveying the house she had helped turn into a home. “This year better not end in a fire,” she muttered under her breath. Outside, the estate gates opened with a faint hum, and a sleek car pulled in. Lucian stepped out, his winter coat sharp, black boots polished, and a mischievous smirk stretched across his face. But he wasn’t alone. A graceful woman with warm skin and dark hair stepped out beside him, holding a small travel bag and adjusting the scarf around her neck. Lucian

    Third POVA year later.The city skyline glimmered like polished silver as the sun slowly dipped behind the horizon, bathing the Cassiel-J Enterprises tower in golden light.Inside the towering glass building, Cassiel leaned back in his office chair, his shirt sleeves rolled up and a half-button undone. The polished obsidian desk before him was littered with blueprints, data simulations, and virtual prototypes, all displaying various stages of software and biometric tech design.Enzo, in a slate-black suit, entered the room with a tablet in hand, slapping it lightly against his palm. “The security AI project passed beta testing. Your baby’s growing fangs.”Cassiel gave a soft grunt, eyes still glued to the holo-display of their next-gen encryption chip. “Good. Any update from Lucian?”“He called twenty minutes ago,” Enzo replied, setting the tablet down. “Paris office is set. They’re already talking to investors and demo clients. And yes, Lucian’s not complai

    Third POVA soft chirp from the heart monitor filled the quiet hospital room, steady and rhythmic. The faint scent of antiseptics clung to the air, and early morning light crept through the closed blinds.Julian’s eyelids fluttered open slowly.His head ached, his limbs were heavy, and the last thing he remembered was the cold barrel of a gun pressed to Cassiel’s head… and then pain.Sharp pain.“Julian?” a gentle voice called from the side.He turned his head slightly to see Miss Maria by the edge of his bed, her face overwhelmed with relief. Her eyes instantly brimmed with tears.“Miss Maria?” His voice cracked, raspy and strained.“Thank the heavens,” she whispered, immediately grabbing his hand. “You’re awake. You’re awake!”The commotion brought a nurse in quickly, who rushed to check his vitals while pressing a button above the bed.Julian blinked slowly. “Where’s... Cassiel?”Miss Maria smiled tearfully. “He’s right outside. He hasn

    Third POVMoreau’s laughter echoed like broken glass in the hollowed-out lab. His voice cracked and gritted with every manic chuckle, leaning forward in the creaking steel chair bolted to the floor of his private control chamber.“You made a terrible mistake, Cassiel,” he spat, his tone venomous and mocking. “Trying to blow me up like a goddamn science experiment gone wrong—” He slammed his fist on the desk and sneered. “I helped you! I saved Julian! I stabilized your damn empire!”Cassiel stood in the middle of the chamber, gun holstered, coat heavy on his shoulders. His jaw clenched tightly, body taut with suppressed rage. He didn’t flinch at the outburst.Moreau rose, pressing a red button beside his chair.“Let’s see how far you get now. What Emiliano failed to do, I will finish today. Here and now—”The hiss of hydraulics echoed behind Cassiel as hidden panels lifted in the walls—revealing four shooters positioned strategically around the room. Their gun

    Third POVLucian crossed his arms. “No one’s stopping you from going, Cassiel. But if you think dying is the answer, then maybe Gavin was right—you don’t deserve him.”Enzo sighed and sat opposite Cassiel. “What’s the plan?”Cassiel stared at the address on his phone again, brows furrowed.“I'm still going,” he said.“But not alone,” Enzo added.Cassiel looked up at him slowly.“You promised Julian he’d never suffer again,” Enzo continued. “Let’s make sure you’re alive to keep that promise.”A small nod. Quiet. Barely there. But it was enough.Lucian walked in, sliding a tablet across the table. “I already tracked the location. Industrial zone. Abandoned for years. We’ll go an hour ahead and place lookouts. No movement till your signal.”Cassiel stared at his men—his family. He didn’t deserve them. Not after everything.But maybe… just maybe… he could still earn that forgiveness.He looked toward the hallway where Gavin had disappeared

  • The Devil In A Suit   Chapter 206

    Third POVThe drive back to the villa was cloaked in a suffocating silence.No one spoke. Not even Gavin.The twins, sensing the gloom in the air, rested their heads against Gavin’s chest while he and Axel sat motionless at the back of the car. Cassiel was in the front seat beside Enzo, who drove with one hand gripping the wheel tight enough to whiten his knuckles. Julian’s absence hovered like a ghost between them all, unbearable and loud in its silence.They had only just said goodbye. Only just hugged him.And now…Now he was gone.The moment they arrived, Miss Maria rushed inside, breaking into sobs the instant she stepped foot in the living room.“This can’t be happening again,” she cried. “Not to Julian.”Cassiel stood unmoving in the center of the room, staring blankly at the spot where Julian had once sat with him to share breakfast. His mind played a cruel movie reel—Julian laughing at one of Gavin’s dramatic outbursts, Julian folding lau
