Lysandra shook her head violently. “I will not apologize to some arrogant stranger.”

Sera’s gaze hardened.

“Then remember this moment,” she said. “Because it’s the last time you will ever speak to me like that.”

Damian’s mother studied her now with a new expression.

Not anger.

Interest.

Calculation.

“And if she refuses,” Damian’s mother asked quietly, “what will you do?”

Sera met her eyes again.

“I’ll walk away,” she said. “And you will spend the rest of your lives wondering why the woman who s

    The next session felt… off. Not in the machines. Not in the data. In her.Sera stood beside the console, posture straight, voice steady, hands precise as ever. Anyone watching would think nothing had changed. But inside everything was louder.Adrik’s words from breakfast hadn’t faded.Uncomfortable.Unavoidable.Do you remember how he treated you?She did. God, she did. And as she worked, as she adjusted the interface along Damian’s spine, those memories began to creep in, uninvited and vivid.The cold dinners.The long silences.The way she would speak… and he wouldn’t respond.The way Lysandra’s voice used to echo through those same halls she had just walked through days ago.Mocking.Belittling.And him standing there. Watching and doing nothing.Her fingers paused for a fraction of a second against the interface. Then resumed.Professional.Focused.Detached.“Signal stable,” one of the doctors said. “Proceeding to phase two.”“Proceed,” Sera replied. Her voice didn’t shake but he

    Morning at the Volkov estate came with a quiet kind of elegance.Sunlight spilled through tall windows, catching on polished surfaces and soft linen, making everything look calmer than it really was.But beneath that calm there was tension.Sera sat at the breakfast table, her coffee untouched, fingers lightly wrapped around the cup as if she needed the warmth more than the taste.Nikolai was at the far end, already halfway through his meal, distracted by something on his tablet as he mumbled to himself about “signal optimization.”Adrik sat across from her. Watching. Not in the obvious way. But in the way of someone who had learned her over years.He noticed the small things.The way her shoulders held just a little too tight.The way her eyes drifted, not to him, not to the table but somewhere else entirely.Back there.Back to him.“So,” Adrik said finally, breaking the silence.“You’re extending your stay.”It wasn’t a question.Sera nodded.“Yes.”“How long?”“A few more days.”“

    Anton smirked faintly. “You didn’t think we’d just let her walk into another man’s territory without knowing what’s going on, did you?”A beat.“A maid,” Anton continued casually. “Placed there. Quiet. Loyal. Invisible.”Damian’s gaze didn’t leave him now. “She’ll report anything unusual.”“Movements.”“Visitors.”“Security shifts.”“Anything concerning.”A small pause. Then softer, “She’s safe.”That word again.Safe.Damian leaned back slightly in his chair. The tension in his shoulders easing just a fraction. “Good.”Anton watched him carefully. "You don’t look convinced.”“I am.”“Then why do you still look like you want to burn the world?”Damian’s lips curved slightly. Because he did. Because part of him always would. “Because she left.”Anton nodded slowly. “Yeah.”“You going to stop her?” Anton asked.Damian shook his head. “No.”That surprised him. “Really?”Damian’s gaze dropped briefly to his legs again. Then lifted. Steadier now. “No. I’m going to earn my way back.”Anton

    Downstairs Damian had already been informed.He didn’t react immediately. Not outwardly.He just sat there. Still. Processing. Then he wheeled himself toward the staircase.Slow.By the time Sera came down again, he was already there.Waiting.She stopped mid step when she saw him.Of course.He wasn’t going to let this happen quietly.Nikolai lingered behind her, unsure.“…You’re leaving,” Damian said.Not a question. A statement.Sera nodded. “Yes.”“Why?”“Because it’s the best option.”“For who?”“For me.”That landed.Damian’s gaze didn’t waver. “And the treatment?”“Continues at the facility.” Her voice was calm. Prepared. “I’ll come in every day.”“You won’t stay.”“No.”Silence.Then Damian leaned forward slightly. “You don’t have to do this.”Sera’s fingers tightened slightly around the handle of her bag. “Yes, I do.”“No, you don’t.”“Yes.”Her voice sharpened just a little. “I do.”He studied her. Carefully. Trying to read what she wasn’t saying. Because this, this wasn’t j

    Two days later, the air inside the rehabilitation room felt different. Like something was waiting to happen.Even the machines seemed quieter, as if they were holding their breath with everyone else.Sera stood at her usual position, tablet in hand, but her focus wasn’t scattered this time. It was sharp. Grounded. The storm from the previous session had passed, but it had left something behind in her.Caution.Precision.No room for error.“Nikolai,” she said without looking up, “final calibration.”Nikolai nodded seriously, fingers moving across the console with surprising steadiness for someone his age.“I reduced the feedback surge limiter,” he explained. “It’ll smooth the signal when he transitions to full weight.”Sera glanced at the screen. Then at him. A small nod. “Good.”Across the room, Damian was already secured in the harness again. But today, there was something different about him too.He rolled his shoulders slightly, exhaling slowly as he looked at the setup. Then at S

    A second later, Adrik stepped out. And this time Damian didn’t move away.He stayed. Right there. In the open.Their eyes met instantly.No words.None needed.Because everything that needed to be said was already understood.Adrik’s gaze was sharp. Unyielding. Protective.Damian’s, colder. Darker. Possessive in a way he hadn’t allowed himself to feel in years.No masks. No pretense.Just two men standing in the aftermath of something neither of them could ignore anymore.Adrik took a step forward. Slow. Deliberate.Damian didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Didn’t soften.For a brief moment the air between them felt like it could snap.Then..Adrik stopped.Close enough.Not close enough to touch.Just enough to make the point.His jaw tightened slightly.Damian’s fingers tapped once against the wheel.Tick.Neither spoke. Because if they did it wouldn’t stay controlled.Adrik’s gaze flicked briefly in the direction Sera had gone. Then back to Damian.A silent warning. Clear. Unmistakable.St

    Nikolai slipped out like a whisper.No dramatic escape. No loud creaking doors. No clumsy footsteps that would alert the hallway guards.Just a small boy in a hoodie, cap pulled low, and a confidence too big for his size.He cracked the door open first, peeking into the hallway.Silence.No teacher

    The physician’s voice shook. “Your number is blocked, sir.”Damian’s hand curled into the sheets so hard his knuckles turned white.Someone had blocked him.The audacity of it made his vision flash.He erupted.He tore at the bedrail. Threw the water cup. Swore until even the older nurse crossed he

    The guard hesitated.He should have stopped here.Should have recognized the strange line of questions.But to him, it was just a rich kid on a school trip, curious and bored and asking about famous mafia stories like it was some Netflix show.So he answered.“San Celeste Private Medical Center,” h

    The words landed like a bullet.The man in the wheelchair choked.It wasn’t dramatic, but it was real, sudden. His eyes widened, and he coughed once, harshly, like the name had caught in his throat and tried to kill him from the inside.The nurses panicked instantly.“Sir...!”“Mr. Blackwell, are y
