"Don't move or I'll shoot her."Lucian's gun was pressed to Celeste's temple. Cold metal against her skin.Damien froze. Hands up. "Let her go. This is between us.""Is it?" Lucian laughed. "Because from where I'm standing, this is about all of us. You. Her. And the girl who just walked in."Celeste stared at her double. The girl looked exactly like her. Same hair. Same eyes. Everything."Who are you?" Celeste asked."I already told you. I'm your sister." The girl walked closer. "Half-sister, actually. We share a father.""That's impossible.""Is it?" The girl pulled out a phone. Showed her a photo. "This is our father. With my mother. Two years before you were born."Celeste looked at the picture. Her father. Younger. Standing next to a woman she'd never seen before. Holding hands."He had another family," the girl said. "Before you. Before your mother. He loved my mother first.""I don't believe you.""You don't have to." The girl put the phone away. "Doesn't change anything. Our fa

"The flowers are perfect."Celeste stood in the ballroom. White roses everywhere. Crystal chandeliers putting from the ceiling. It seemed like some thing out of a magazine.however something felt incorrect."You do not appearance satisfied." Damien got here up behind her. Put his hands on her shoulders."I am. It's just..." She turned around. "This feels weird. Like it's too easy.""Maybe we earned something easy for once."She wanted to believe him. But after Marcus. After finding out he'd been working against them this whole time. She failed to agree with something anymore."Whilst's the wedding planner getting here?" she requested."Any minute. She wants to go over some last stuff."A woman walked in. Tall. Hair pulled back tight. She smiled at them."Mr. De Argent. Miss Veritas. I'm Caroline West. I'm gonna be running everything for your big day."Something about her voice bothered Celeste. Has she heard it before?"Nice to meet you," Damien said. He shook her hand.Caroline pulle

"You look beautiful."Damien's voice got here from behind her. Celeste grew to become the replicant and saw him within the doorway. Black health. Jaws set tough. Eyes telling her everything his mouth wouldn't say."Don't have a look at me like that," she said quietly."Like what?""Like you're already losing me."He walked over and took her hands. "I'm not going anywhere."But she knew better. Today might be the day everything fell apart.The wedding started in twenty minutes.---Celeste walked down the aisle by herself.No father to give her away. No mother crying in the front row. Just rows of people she didn't really know. Allies. Enemies. People who either wanted her dead or wanted to own her.She could see Damien at the altar. He looked steady. Calm. but she knew him properly enough to seize the fear below.Her cellphone changed into tucked inside the folds of her get dressed. Set to vibrate. Waiting for the message that would ruin everything.The music started. Her pulse hammer

"Get down!"Damien shoved Celeste to the floor as bullets tore through the air.They had been using it for perhaps twenty minutes while it came about. Three black SUVs out of nowhere. Guns everywhere. No warning at all.Their car flipped. Glass exploding. Metal grinding and screeching.Now they were crawling through dirt and rocks. Five of Damien's guys formed a circle around them. Shooting back. Dropping one by one."We have to move!" Damien shouted over all the gunfire.Celeste's ears were ringing. Her dress ripped to hell. Blood on her hands but she didn't know whose.They ran.Behind some trees. Down a hill. Damien wouldn't let go of her hand.More shots. Someone screamed. One of their men went down hard."Keep moving!" Damien yelled.Celeste stopped. "We can't just leave them!""They knew the risks!""Damien—"He grabbed her face. Made her look at him. "You want to save your father? Then stay alive. Move. Right now."They ran again.Through the woods. Over fallen trees. Branches

"Adrian Bishop is dead."Damien tossed the folder on the table. Photos scattered everywhere. Crime scene shots. A body burned so horrific you could not tell who it changed into.Celeste stared at them. Her mind is going 1,000,000 miles an hour."When?" she asked."Three days ago. Car explosion. They're calling it an accident.""But it wasn't.""No. It wasn't."She grabbed one of the photos. Looked at it closer. "Who did it?""That's what we need to figure out."Lucian came in looking like hell. Exhausted. Beat up. "Got the autopsy report. Bishop was already dead when the car blew up. Poison.""Who?""Someone who really knew what they were doing. The poison's rare. Military stuff. Only a few people can even get their hands on it."Celeste's hands started shaking. "My father said the Bishop sold us out. Now he's dead. That can't be random.""It's not random. It's a cleanup." Damien sat down heavily. Rubbed his face hard. "Someone's getting rid of witnesses.""Then we're subsequent on t
