As the family went over the information they had gathered against Karnoff, there was a lot of tension in the air. They had more than enough to destroy his network thanks to the disastrous operation in Dubai, but everyone was still scarred by the dangers they had taken.With his keen eyes darting between the maps and dossiers arranged on the table, Xander paced the living room. "We must deliver this to the appropriate individuals," he stated. "The kind that can permanently defeat him." But a mistake is not something we can afford. He will attack us more forcefully than before if we make one mistake.Liam looked up from his laptop, where he was typing frantically. "I'm monitoring his network's conversation. He is aware that something went wrong, but he is still unsure of the culprit. Before he puts it all together, we have a brief window of opportunity to take action.Julien folded his arms and reclined in his chair. "We need to make the evidence available to the public while neutralisin

When word spread that Viktor Karnoff had been captured, the world woke up. His empire was in ruins, and the notorious criminal genius, who was once believed to be impenetrable, was in arrest. Although the family's part in his demise was kept a secret, their actions had an impact on the entire world.It was a bittersweet triumph for Xander and Isabella. Even though they had defeated a powerful foe, it had cost them dearly. Like a road map of suffering and resiliency, the invisible yet profoundly felt scars of their trip were engraved into their souls.The family gathered around the hearth at the farmhouse. It was the first quiet time in what seemed like forever. In sharp contrast to the stress that had pervaded the house only days before, Mateo, Sofia's young son, was laughing as he played with wooden blocks on the floor.Sofia smiled softly as she watched him. "Do you think he'll ever understand the sacrifice we made to achieve this peace?"Elena, who was sitting next to her, put a ha

There was a rare calm in the farmhouse the morning after their last encounter with Victor Kain's group. The fields were painted in shades of gold as the light from the sunrise spilt across them. There was a sensation of relief—a fresh start—in the silence, which was no longer stifling.Inside the house, the family was enjoying breakfast together at the kitchen table. Unaware of the burden his family had been bearing for years, Mateo laughed as he spread jam on his toast. His presence served as a ray of optimism and a reminder of the purity they had battled to preserve.With a rare smile softening his normally stiff features, Liam sat back in his chair. "The last time we all sat down to breakfast without looking over our shoulders is long gone."Julien laughed. Avoid growing accustomed to it. This morning, I have already made two perimeter checks.Elena gave his arm a gentle slap. "For once, can't you just enjoy the quiet?"Sofia said softly, her eyes on Mateo. It's peculiar, isn't it?

The Blackwoods were seated around the table, and the tension in the cabin was palpable. Xander was standing at one end, with Julien and Liam at his sides, and the scarred man sitting across from him. With Sofia's protective arm wrapped over Mateo, Isabella and Sofia hovered close to the doorway. Elena was standing in a corner, looking at the stranger and the other members of the family.With a demanding and icy tone, Xander ordered, "Start talking." Why should we believe whatever you say, and who are you?The man's gaze swept the room, examining each one closely. At last, he let out a breath and reclined in his seat. "My name is Roman. Prior to his downfall, he was employed by Victor Kain.Julien's mouth clenched. "We wouldn't trust you if you were one of Kain's men."With a harsh tone, Roman retorted, "I wasn't loyal to Kain." I was merely a gear in the wheel. People like me got cut loose when he fell. Not everyone stayed gone, but the majority of us were content to vanish. A group i

With their convoy moving slowly in the early morning light, the Blackwoods trailed Roman along serpentine roads. There was a lot of tension in Xander's vehicle. Mateo was sleeping soundly on Isabella's breast as she sat in the passenger seat. With his knuckles white against the steering wheel, Liam drove behind them, watching the road. Though her mind was racing with ideas about what they should do next, Elena sat next to him with a stony expression.The radio crackled with Roman's voice. We're gone for roughly half an hour. Stay near.Xander remained silent, staring at the horizon. He looked at Isabella, her face glowing softly in the morning light. Even in the face of constant peril, her protective instincts remained firm, and she appeared worn out but determined.She broke the pause with a whispered question, "Do you trust him?"Xander paused. "Not totally," he acknowledged. But he's our best bet at the moment. He had several opportunities to hurt us if that was his intention.Isab
