The news anchor's mouth kept moving, but Sophia’s mind had already checked out, unable to process the words."How could he? Why would he?" she whispered, tears flowed down her face.Her mind raced back to their last encounter, the way his eyes sparkled when he was with her, the gentle touch of his hands on hers and all the promises. Had it all been a lie?

Chapter 5: STAY DEADThe Blackwood estate was a world of its own isolated from the rest of the city by gates that could rival a fortress. Inside, the vast mansion was lit with chandeliers and lavish decorations, a symbol of wealth and power. But beneath the surface, tension brewed.Rico Blackwood sat at the head of a long dining table, his posture stiff, as his two younger sisters chattered across from him. The younger of the two, Maya, was a striking image of rebellion. She was impulsive, always questioning the rules, and her outbursts kept everyone on their toes. Lydia, the eldest, was quieter, more contemplative. Her eyes often lingered on her brother, watching him closely, sensing the turmoil brewing inside him.“You’re so quiet today, Rico,” Maya teased, her voice carrying the energy of a teenager who refused to be ignored. “I thought you’d be celebrating the engagement, not sulking.”Rico forced a smile. “I am just tired, Maya.”“You’re always tired,” Lydia added, her voice soft

Chapter 7: Beneath the MaskThe Blackwood charity gala was a definition of perfection, elegance and class at its peak. It was held in the grand ballroom of the Blackwood estate, its vaulted ceilings were decorated with glittering chandeliers and gold embellishments. The soft sound of classical music played by a live orchestra filled the room as guests dressed in their finest fabrics danced, sipping champagne and exchanging pleasantries. Beneath the façade of glamour, hidden agendas and underground deals were going on.Standing at the center of it all was Alex Montgomery, his imposing figure once again cutting through the crowd.

To him, every conversation was a potential tran

Chapter 9: Shadows Within ShadowsMelissa blinked her eyes against the harsh white light of the hospital room, her body weighed down by exhaustion and chronic pain. A fresh, yet lifeless scent of antiseptic hung in the air, accompanied with the faint beeping of the monitors by her bedside. She reached for the glass of water on the side table, wincing in pain as her body protested. Her mind, however, was a jumble of thoughts.The explosion, the shattered car. The images she’d so carefully gathered, all gone.A sharp knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She froze, because she wasn’t expecting anyone, her heart raced as a tall figure stepped into the room. He was dressed in a sleek black suit, his face partially obscured by a wide hat. The man moved with an air of precision, closing the door behind him quietly.“Ms. Reynolds,” he said his voice low and calm. “My name is Mr. Vale and we need to talk.”Melissa narrowed her eyes. “If you’re here to finish the job, you’ll have to try
