Ahead, Sera leaned back slightly in her seat, her head resting lightly against the headrest as she exhaled.

Nikolai shifted beside her.

“You okay?” he asked.

She glanced at him, her expression softening.

“Yeah,” she said.

Not fully true but not entirely false either.

He nodded, accepting it then leaned slightly against her, his earlier energy fading.

The car moved smoothly through the city. Guarded or so it seemed.

Behind them the three cars followed. Not too close. Not too far.

    Ahead, Sera leaned back slightly in her seat, her head resting lightly against the headrest as she exhaled.Nikolai shifted beside her.“You okay?” he asked.She glanced at him, her expression softening.“Yeah,” she said.Not fully true but not entirely false either.He nodded, accepting it then leaned slightly against her, his earlier energy fading.The car moved smoothly through the city. Guarded or so it seemed.Behind them the three cars followed. Not too close. Not too far.Meanwhile Damian stood near the wide glass windows, his weight balanced more evenly now, one hand resting lightly against the frame as he looked out at nothing in particular. His leg still protested with every shift, every step, but he pushed through it.He had been pushing through everything lately.Behind him, Anton’s voice cut clean through the stillness. “They’re not backing down.”Damian didn’t turn. “Of course they’re not.”Anton stepped closer, tablet in hand, eyes sharp.“They’ve regrouped,” he continu

    Two days passed quietly.The kind of quiet that didn’t heal anything but just gave space for things to settle where they hurt the least.Adrik was discharged that morning.Cleared. Stable. Strong enough to travel.Strong enough to leave.The airport was locked down tighter than usual.Blackwell guards stood in discreet positions, blending in just enough to not cause a scene, but close enough that nothing could slip through unnoticed. Eyes everywhere.Sera stood near the private terminal entrance, her coat wrapped around her, hair pulled back simply. Nikolai stood beside her, hands shoved into his pockets, looking around like he didn’t like the place much.Adrik approached them slowly.For a moment, none of them spoke. Like saying something would make it final.Nikolai broke first.“You’re really leaving?” he asked, his tone quieter than usual.Adrik looked at him and a small, faint smile touched his lips.“Yeah,” he said. “I am.”Nikolai nodded slowly, like he didn’t like the answer b

    The door opened quickly.Doctors rushed in, drawn by the change in his vitals.“Step back, please,” one of them said gently, already moving to check him, monitors lighting up with new activity.Sera moved aside, but she didn’t let go of his hand.She stayed close, watching every movement, every reaction, her heart still racing as reality settled in.He was awake.The doctor leaned in, checking his pupils, his pulse, asking him simple questions.“Can you hear me?”Adrik nodded faintly.“Do you know where you are?”“…hospital,” he muttered.“Good. Do you feel any dizziness? Pain?”“Everything hurts,” he said quietly.The doctor allowed a small smile. “That’s expected.”Sera let out a soft breath at that.Everything was… normal.After a few more checks, the doctor straightened.“He’s stable,” he said, glancing at Sera. “No internal complications. We’ll keep him under observation, but…”A small pause.“He’s going to be fine.”Sera closed her eyes briefly as more tears slipped free, this t

    Morning came soft, almost calm.Sera stood by the entrance, adjusting her coat as two guards positioned themselves just behind her, already alert, already scanning.The routine had become second nature now. But before she stepped out she turned.Damian was already in the therapy room, seated, waiting. Nikolai leaned against the doorway, arms folded, watching like he was pretending not to care.Sera’s gaze moved between them.“You have a session in an hour,” she said, her tone shifting easily into that familiar, no nonsense calm. “And this time, you’re not skipping anything.”Damian raised a brow slightly. “I never skip.”“You argue,” she corrected.Nikolai snorted softly.Sera’s eyes flicked to him.“And you,” she added, “are supervising.”Nikolai blinked. “Me?”“Yes, you,” she said simply. “Make sure he does everything properly.”Damian looked at him, something faintly amused flickering through his expression.“This should be interesting.”Nikolai shrugged, trying to look indifferent

    “Damian!”Sera’s voice cut through immediately as she moved, Nikolai pulling back in alarm.“Hey, hey, don’t move!” she said quickly, already crouching beside him, her hands hovering before settling firmly on his shoulders.Nikolai stood frozen for a second then rushed closer.“Are you okay?” he asked, panic creeping back into his voice.Damian exhaled sharply, his jaw tightening as he tried to push himself up again out of pure instinct.“I’m fine,” he muttered.He wasn’t, not even remotely.“Stop,” Sera said immediately, her tone shifting.She pressed a hand lightly against his chest, keeping him down. “I said don’t move.”Damian frowned slightly, stubbornness flickering through the pain.“I can get up,” he said, already trying again.“Damian,” she said his name sharper this time.He paused.Her eyes locked onto his. “You’re not getting up like that again,” she said. “You’ve already pushed past your limit.”He let out a quiet breath, frustration evident. “I needed to stand.”“You did

    The ward was quiet.Damian was wheeled in slowly, his eyes already on Sera before the nurse even stepped aside.Sera sat on the edge of the bed, her forehead freshly bandaged, a faint bruise blooming beneath the gauze like something trying to surface.She looked there but not fully like part of her was still in that warehouse.Still on her knees.Still hearing that laugh.Damian watched her for a moment before speaking.“They cleared you,” he said quietly. “No internal damage. Just shock and the head injury.”Sera nodded faintly. Her hands were still trembling.Not as violently as before but enough.She hadn’t looked at him yet.“I...” he started, then stopped himself.There were too many things to say.Too many things that didn’t fit into words right now.So he chose something else.“Adrik is here.”That made her look up immediately.Her eyes sharpened, fear replacing the numbness.“Where?” she asked, already moving.“I’ll take you,” Damian said.Adrik’s room smelled like antiseptic

    The door closed harder than necessary.Damian exhaled slowly.Anton stepped forward quietly.“The narrative has shifted entirely.”“Good.”“Public sympathy is high.”“I don’t care.”“Miss Velez will retaliate.”“Let her.”Anton studied him carefully.“You were very clear.”“Yes.”“Why so absolute?”

    Damian leaned forward slightly.Voice softer.“But I bought it for you.”Nikolai shifted awkwardly.“I know.”“And you like it.”“I do.”“Then what’s the problem.”“…Everything?”Damian exhaled faintly.Then turned back to Sera.“I’m not taking it back.”“Damian...”“No.”She froze slightly.Becaus

    Adrik’s parents entered the scene like a shift in atmospheric pressure.The air changed.Subtly for most.Violently for Damian.Mrs. Volkov’s eyes landed on him first, and the displeasure was immediate, unfiltered, almost impressive in its intensity.“Well.”That single word carried enough weight t

    Sera remained completely unaware of the storm gathering far beyond her field of vision.Morning unfolded gently over Moscow, pale winter light slipping through the curtains of the apartment as the city stirred beneath its soft blanket of snow. Inside, the world felt almost deceptively ordinary.Rou
