DANTE

The air surrounding us felt thick, charged with the residue of betrayal that clung to us like smoke.

Aria moved through the space like a ghost, her bare feet silent on the cool marble. She paused at the bedroom door, her hand lingering on the frame, her shoulders slumped under the weight of it all. I watched her from the hall, the city lights casting long shadows across her face, turning her eyes into dark pools of exhaustion and fury.

"Come here," I said, my voice low and roughened by th

    DANTEMy phone explodes the moment I turn it on at JFK.Viktor: There are significant developments. Call me before you speak to Mrs. Ashford.Seven messages from Viktor, all variants of the same instruction.I call him from the jet bridge, moving fast through the terminal."Talk," I say when he answers.He immediately starts talking. From the envelope, to Laurent, to the calendar access, and then the text messages.By the time he finishes, I'm in the car, burning through traffic towards home."Why didn't you call me mid-flight?""There is nothing you could have done. Mrs. Ashford is safe, the situation is contained, and I didn't want you to spend five hours in a metal tube fifty thousand feet up unable to act." His voice is steady. "Boss, she's safe. But you need to know...she and Vivienne exchanged texts tonight.""Vivienne has a phone?""Contraband. We're working on tracing it, but prison contraband phones are burners, gone before we can track them usually." Viktor pauses. "But what

    ARIA'S POV"Yes. Fine. I just..." She pauses like she is trying to find words fill in...Sarah is perpetually efficient, never uncertain. "I ran into something at the office this evening. I was working late and I found something in your calendar system.""What kind of something?""An appointment. Scheduled two weeks from now, under your name. A meeting with Vivienne Sinclair's attorney at a private address." There is another pause. "Aria, you didn't schedule this. I manage your calendar. I would know."Cold settles over me despite the warm car."Someone accessed my calendar system.""Yes. And scheduled a meeting as if it were you." Her voice is tight. "Aria, whoever did this has your login credentials. Or access to the system that bypasses them.""Can you trace where the access came from?""I've already flagged it for IT security. They're looking at it now." There is a pause. "But Aria, if someone can access your calendar, they might be able to access other things. Email, contacts..."

    ARIAAt the two-hour mark, I find a quiet corner near the terrace doors to rest my feet and check my phone.There is three texts from Dante: How's the gala? this was sent an hour ago. Then Everything okay? Thirty minutes ago. Then Call me when you get a chance.I step onto the terrace, the night air cool against my bare shoulders, and dial his number.He answers before it even rings properly. "Hey. How are you?""I'm fine. My feet hurt and Viktor is being mysteriously ominous, but otherwise fine." I keep my voice light. "Singapore went well?""The acquisition is complete. I'm at the airport now, the boarding is in an hour.""You moved your flight up.""I wanted to get home.""Because you missed us or because of whatever Viktor isn't telling me?"There is a pause, but it is in a short time as it should be. "Both.""Dante.""Aria.""Tell me what's going on."There is another pause. Then I hear airport noise in the background, an announcements, some distant conversations, and the hollow

    ARIADante leaves for Singapore Sunday morning.Hazel and I watch the car pull away from the front steps, Hazel keeps waving at him with a lot enthusiasm which is funny for someone who doesn't yet understand that waving means goodbye."Dada," she says firmly."He'll be back Wednesday," I tell her.She looks at me, then goes back to chewing her teething ring. Problem solved, as far as she's concerned.I wish I had her capacity for moving on.ARIAMonday and Tuesday pass without incident.Work is steady...Morrison Tech implementation is running smoothly, and Hartwell's Q1 campaign is performing above projections, even new client onboarding progressing well. I'm in a rhythm now, the frantic proving-myself energy of my first weeks back has settle into something more sustainable.The pregnancy is still secret beyond Dante, Dr. Chen, and apparently Sarah, who noticed I'd switched from coffee to herbal tea and simply started ordering the right thing without comment."You're going to need to

    ARIA - TWO WEEKS LATERThe gynea confirms everything at eight weeks.There is strong heartbeat, healthy development and the due date is set to be approximately seven months from now."Given how close together your pregnancies are, I want to monitor you more carefully this time," she says, reviewing my chart. "Your body is still recovering from Hazel's birth. We'll do more frequent check-ins, close watch on blood pressure and iron levels.""Are there risks?" Dante asks from beside me."Nothing alarming at this stage. But back-to-back pregnancies can be harder on the body. We'll watch closely and adjust recommendations as needed." She looks at me. "How's your stress level?""Manageable," I say. Dante makes a sound that might be a suppressed laugh."Manageable," Dr. Chen repeats diplomatically. "I'd like it to be lower than manageable. You need adequate rest, regular meals, and genuine stress reduction. Not just the functional stress management.""She'll rest more," Dante says."I'm sitt
