The storm raged on as the first light of dawn began to break through the clouds. The city, usually bustling with activity at this hour, seemed eerily quiet, as if holding its breath in anticipation of what was to come. Inside the safe house, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Sophia, Ethan, and Oliver had spent the night monitoring the fallout from their initial strike against Victoria. The evidence they had leaked was making headlines, and the public was beginning to take notice.But Sophia knew this was only the beginning. The real battle was just around the corner.She sat at the kitchen table, nursing a cup of coffee, her eyes glued to the tablet in front of her. News articles, social media posts, and financial reports scrolled by, each one detailing the growing scandal surrounding Victoria Blackwood. The reaction was mixed—some were shocked, others skeptical, and a few were already rallying to Victoria’s defense. But the momentum was building, and it was only a matter of time

Sophia barely slept that night. The news of the witness’s death weighed heavily on her mind, mingling with the anxiety she felt about the days ahead. The cold reality of what they were up against had never been clearer. Victoria Blackwood was not just dangerous—she was ruthless and without conscience, and she would stop at nothing to protect herself. As dawn broke, Sophia was already up, staring at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. The face that looked back at her was pale and tired, but the eyes were sharp, determined. She had made a vow to herself the night before, and she intended to keep it. No more hesitation, no more fear. She was going to see this through, no matter what. Downstairs, the atmosphere was tense. Oliver was on the phone, speaking in low, urgent tones, while Ethan sat at the kitchen table, his lapt

Sophia didn’t sleep that night. The weight of Victoria’s threat hung over her like a dark cloud, refusing to dissipate even as the morning light filtered through the curtains. She sat in the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold, her mind racing through every possible scenario, every potential threat. Ethan entered the room quietly, his footsteps barely making a sound on the hardwood floor. He paused in the doorway, watching her for a moment before crossing the room and taking a seat across from her. “You should rest,” he said gently, though his own exhaustion was evident in the dark circles under his eyes. Sophia shook her head. “I can’t. Not with everything that’s happening. Not with what she said.”

“Lily,” Sophia called softly, not wanting to startle her sister. Lily turned, her eyes lighting up as she saw Sophia. “Sophia! You’re back.” Sophia crossed the room, sitting down beside her sister and taking her hands in her own. “I am. And I have something important to tell you.” Lily’s expression grew serious, concern flickering in her eyes. “What is it? Did something happen?” Sophia took a deep breath, steadying herself before she began. “It’s over, Lily. Victoria… she’s been stopped. She won’t be able to hurt us anymore.” Lily’s eyes widened in shock,

The weekend in the cabin had been everything Sophia didn’t know she needed. Away from the pressures of the city, she and Ethan had the time and space to just be with each other. They had talked late into the night, shared stories of their pasts, and slowly, the barriers between them had started to crumble. But as they returned to the city, the reality of their lives loomed once again, bringing with it the responsibilities and secrets they both still carried. Back in her apartment, Sophia found herself replaying moments from the weekend—Ethan’s gentle touch, his thoughtful gestures, the way he looked at her like she was the only person in the world. It was all so new, so overwhelming. She had never imagined feeling this way about him, but now, it was undeniable. Ethan had been different too. More relaxed, more open.
