No one moved. Not immediately.

Victor stood in front of them, close enough that Ivy could see the fine lines at the edges of his eyes—proof of age. But nothing else about him felt old.

Not his posture.

Not his presence.

Not the way he looked at them like he already knew how this would end.

“You’re being dramatic,” Ivy said coolly.

Victor’s gaze flicked to her. Amusement. Brief.

  • WICKED INHERITANCE   Chapter 46 – The Side They Didn’t Secure

    Ivy didn’t check her mirror again. Not because she didn’t care. But because she already knew. They were still there. Not as close. Not as obvious.But present. Tracking. Adjusting. Watching every shift she made. Good. That meant they were still focused on her. Which meant—Sebastian had space. And space was everything right now.Cruz shifted slightly in the passenger seat, her voice quieter but steadier than before. “They’re not pressing you,” she said.“No,” Ivy replied. “They’re pacing.”A pause.“Why?” Cruz asked.Ivy&r

  • WICKED INHERITANCE   Chapter 45 – The One They Didn’t See Move

    Sebastian didn’t hesitate once the car pulled away. That was the difference.Before—Every move had been calculated. Shared. Controlled. Now—It was instinct.He turned immediately, stepping into the shadow of the narrow street, letting the distance grow between him and the main road. The sound of Ivy’s car faded quickly, replaced by the low hum of the city.Alive.Unaware.Uninvolved.Good.That worked in his favor. “They’ll track her first,” he muttered under his breath.Because they always wou

  • WICKED INHERITANCE   Chapter 44 – The Crack They Didn’t Close

    Ivy didn’t slow down after the turn. If anything, she accelerated. Not recklessly. Not visibly. But enough to shift the rhythm again.Because rhythm—That was what they were watching. What they were learning. And what she needed to break.“They’re still on us,” Sebastian said, checking the mirror again.Ivy didn’t look. “I know.”“They didn’t follow the turn directly.”“No.”Cruz leaned forward slightly. “They split.”That landed immediately. Ivy

  • WICKED INHERITANCE    Chapter 43 – The Pattern That Broke First

    They didn’t speak for a while after the car disappeared. Not because there was nothing to say. But because everything that needed to be understood had already settled between them.The confirmation. The shift. The reality of what they were up against.Sebastian leaned back in his seat, exhaling slowly. “That was too easy,” he said.Ivy kept her eyes on the road. “It wasn’t easy.”“No?” he said. “Because it felt like they just… showed up.”“They didn’t show up,” she replied. “They allowed it.”Cruz frown

  • WICKED INHERITANCE   Chapter 42 – The One Behind The Glass

    The window didn’t come all the way down. Just enough. That was the first thing Ivy noticed.Not open. Not inviting. Controlled. Deliberate. Like everything else.She didn’t slow the car. Didn’t turn. Didn’t react. But her attention—Fully locked.The silhouette inside the black sedan didn’t move at first. Just sat there. Watching. Measuring. Waiting.Sebastian shifted slightly in his seat. “I don’t like this,” he muttered.“You’re not supposed to,” Ivy replied.Cruz leaned forward from the back, her voice lower now. “Don&r

    They didn’t send another message. That was the first sign something had changed.Up until now, every move Ivy made had triggered a response—subtle, controlled, immediate. A message. A location. A shift in direction.Now—Nothing.And that silence felt louder than anything else.“They stopped,” Sebastian said quietly.Ivy didn’t take her eyes off the road. “No,” she replied. “They didn’t.”“Then where is it?”“They’re waiting.”

  • WICKED INHERITANCE    Chapter 34 – The Truth She Chose to Keep

    Elena didn’t rush. That was the first thing Ivy noticed. She stood there in the center of the room like she had nowhere else to be, like time wasn’t pressing in from every direction. Like the tension wrapping around all three of them didn’t exist.

  • WICKED INHERITANCE   Chapter 30 – The First Crack in Control

    The silence after didn’t feel the same. It lingered too long. Too heavy. Like something had shifted between them and neither of them knew how to put it back.Ivy was the first to move. Not away. Not
