The city seemed quieter than usual, but Iris knew better. Danger had a rhythm — a heartbeat — and tonight, it was fast, insistent. She paced the room, glancing at the locked windows, counting each shadow. Her mind replayed Damien’s words:

“They will come. You must be ready.”

Her heart hammered. She had practiced calm, practiced fear management, but tonight, the reality was unavoidable. They were here.

Damien’s voice broke through her thoughts. “Stay close. Follow my lead. Do not panic.”

She obeyed instinctively, the trust she had developed over the past chapters keeping her grounded.

He led her through a series of corridors, the sound of his boots muted but precise. Every movement had a purpose; every turn, every glance calculated. She realized that in his world, hesitation could mean death.

Outside, the van was waiting — a black silhouette against the streetlights, tinted windows reflecting the moon. But this time, it wasn’t just two men. There were four, all armed, all m

    Weeks had passed since the storm had ended, and the city had settled into its usual rhythm. For Iris, life felt different now—not because danger had disappeared, but because she had changed. Every morning, she woke with a sense of purpose, a quiet confidence that came from knowing she could survive anything.She spent her days training, refining the instincts that had saved her, and reconnecting with the world she had once feared. Small joys now carried immense weight: the smell of coffee brewing in the morning, the laughter of children in the street, the warmth of sunlight on her skin. She noticed things she had never noticed before, and she treasured every moment.Damien was always near—not as a protector alone, but as a partner. They moved through life with a rhythm born from trust and shared experience. Quiet mornings turned into walks through the city, evenings into conversations on rooftops overlooking the skyline. Sometimes they fought shadows together, sometimes they simply la

  • The Lies He Kissed Me With   CHAPTER 20 – RESOLUTION & CLOSURE

    The dawn broke quietly over the city, but for Iris, the night had left its mark. She sat on the edge of her bed, hands still trembling slightly, mind replaying the events of the last twenty-four hours. The confrontation, the fear, the adrenaline, the knowledge of Damien’s past — it all pressed against her chest. Yet beneath the exhaustion, there was a seed of strength, fragile but undeniable. She had survived. Not just survived, but acted. She had participated in the battle, contributed to their safety, and learned something essential about herself — she was stronger than she had ever imagined. ⸻ Damien entered without knocking, quiet as ever, yet every movement spoke volumes. He carried no weapons, no tension, just the calm, steady presence that had become her anchor. “You’re awake,” he said softly. “I… I couldn’t sleep,” she admitted. “Too many thoughts.” He nodded, sitting beside her. “Understandable. What happened last night… it’s not something anyone forgets easily. B

    The night air pressed heavily against Iris as she sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. The letter, the van, the attackers, the secrets — it all swirled in her mind like a storm she couldn’t escape. Her chest tightened, and tears threatened to spill, though she refused to let them. Her phone buzzed. A message from Damien: “Stay calm. I am close. Do not move until I arrive.” Her hands trembled. She had wanted to text him, to beg him to explain everything, but the words stuck in her throat. Fear and frustration battled inside her. How could someone be so calm while she felt like the world was falling apart? ⸻ Her mother knocked softly before entering. “Iris… dinner’s ready?” Iris shook her head, barely acknowledging her. Her mother’s eyes were full of worry. “You’re not sleeping… You’ve been… distant.” “I’m fine,” Iris whispered, though her voice was brittle. Her mother lingered a moment, concern etched across her face, before leaving. Alone again, Iris pre

    The night wrapped the city in a quiet blanket, but for Iris, silence was impossible. Every car that passed, every pedestrian in the shadows, felt like a threat. She sat in the car Damien had provided, her hands clenched tightly in her lap, staring out at the dimly lit streets.Damien’s presence was beside her, calm and controlled, as if the danger around them didn’t exist. But Iris could feel it — the tension in his shoulders, the subtle tightening of his jaw when a shadow moved too quickly. He was always alert, always calculating.“You’re quiet,” Damien finally said, breaking the silence. His voice was steady, cold, but there was an edge to it — a weight that made her shiver.“I’m trying to understand,” she admitted. “Why… why is this happening to me? To us?”Damien didn’t answer immediately. He drove carefully, eyes scanning every street. “It’s not just about you. It’s never just about one person. This world… my world… it’s dangerous, Iris. And it touches everyone I care about.”She

    he sun was barely rising, and the streets were still empty when Iris stepped out of her house. She had promised herself she would be careful, that she would stay alert. The letter she received at the café still sat in her pocket like a burning reminder — someone was watching, someone was planning. Her heartbeat was loud, insistent. Every shadow seemed to twist, every sound magnified. She kept checking behind her, as if movement could signal the start of something terrible. It didn’t take long. A van, black and unmarked, rolled slowly up the street. The engine was quiet, too quiet, and the tinted windows reflected the rising sun. Her pulse jumped. Something about the vehicle screamed danger. Before she could react, the van stopped abruptly, blocking the path in front of her. Two figures stepped out — large, confident, and clearly trained. Their eyes scanned the street, and their attention settled on her immediately. Fear surged. Her legs froze. Iris’s mind screamed, Run! But bef
