150 - EYE FOR AN EYE

Aiden's POVThe house was too quiet.Aiden knew that kind of silence. It wasn’t the soft, peaceful quiet that lulled him to sleep on normal nights beside Cheryl. No, this was the eerie, unnatural kind that pressed on your chest and made your gut twist before your mind caught up. His steps echoed a little too loud as he walked into the house, calling her name. She wasn't beside him when his eyes accidentally popped open and he wanted to reach for her to pull her into his arms the way he usually did when he craved her warmth. Maybe she had woken to get something to drink, she could've woken him up.“Cheryl?” he called again, louder now, eyes scanning the living room.Nothing.He moved through the rooms quickly—bedroom, bathroom, kitchen. The book she’d been reading earlier lay facedown on the patio chair, her tea untouched. Her phone, her shoes, and even her purse were still intact, nothing appeared to missing well except - her. The clock on the wall ticked away like a taunt.Aiden stil

(Aiden’s POV)I pressed the muzzle of my gun harder into the man's back as we made our way through the opulent courtyard. Warm lights spilled from the villa’s windows, casting dancing shadows against the ancient stone walls. Somewhere inside, people were still laughing, still drinking. Still oblivious.But I wasn’t here for any of them.“Walk faster,” I muttered.“I-I didn’t know, man,” the guard stammered, half-pleading. “They don’t tell us who’s coming or going. I’m just paid to—”“Shut up,” I snapped. “Where’s Filippe?”“In the main hall. The, uh… party’s still going on.”Of course it is.I tightened my grip around his shoulder and yanked him through the side entrance. Plush carpets, marble floors, velvet-draped walls—the place was decked out like royalty lived here. But underneath the grandeur, I smelled rot. Not literal decay. Something worse.

(Cheryl’s POV)The car ride back to the villa was so quiet it screamed.Aiden didn’t say a word. His grip on the wheel was white-knuckled, eyes fixed on the dark Florentine road like he was holding himself together with sheer force of will. The only sound was the occasional screech of tires whenever he made a turn too hard, too fast.I didn’t know whether to speak or stay silent.But my guilt—God, it sat on my chest like an anvil.I’d messed up. Badly.He came for me. Guns blazing. Storming a room full of dangerous men just to pull me out. He saved me. Again. And I—I had walked right into the lion’s mouth because I didn’t listen. Because I was too proud. Because I thought I was capable of protecting myself in a world I didn’t fully understand.“Aiden…” I started softly.“Don’t,” he said sharply, voice like a blade.I sank deeper into my seat, my hand automatically sliding over my stomach. The baby didn’t kick, but I could almost feel its stillness mirroring mine. It was like the three
