Nightfall.“Ugh—!”A sudden, stabbing pain shot through Briella’s chest, catching her completely off guard.The pen slipped from her fingers as her body folded over the desk. It took her a long moment to regain her bearings.Perplexed, Briella frowned. As a doctor, she knew her body well. She was perfectly healthy.So why now...?She shook her head, trying to laugh it off. ‘Maybe I’ve just been overworked lately?’But she knew better—she’d endured far worse without so much as a headache.Before she could analyze it further, her phone, facedown on the table, began to vibrate.Setting the pain aside for now, she picked it up and saw a string of numbers flash across the screen.“What’s wrong?” she asked coolly.“Miss, we’ve detected a group approaching from three kilometers out. Shall we intercept them now?”Her brows arched slightly in surprise. Tapping her pen thoughtfully against the desk, her eyes shimmered with anticipation.“No need. It’s been a while since I’ve had a little fun. S

“All dead? What happened?” The man seated at the head of the dark room finally raised his eyes. His expression darkened visibly.“No idea... We just found them like that. Every single one—shot clean through the head.”“Which team was sent out?” He asked while rhythmically tapping his fingers against the desk.“Team Four.”A heavy silence fell over the room.“You,” he said coldly. “Pass the full details of this exchange to the Sector Chief. Tell him to dig into it thoroughly. If there’s nothing unusual, don’t bother coming back.”“Yes, sir.”When the subordinate left, the man—known only as the Overseer of the Shadow Unit—rose to his feet.“Useless trash. Can’t even protect their own lives. We have no room for dead weight in this unit.”...Meanwhile, at the lab…“Briella, the lab trials are going really well! Since all your ingredients are traditional herbal formulas, safety testing is a breeze.”Audrey beamed, holding a stack of results in her hands. “We didn’t even need live testing—

“Oh? I heard Miss Paige Sawyer is a fan of the famous music legend, Luna,” Connor said, walking forward in his deep navy suit, swirling the wine in his glass with elegance. “And your piano skills are said to be the best in Avenlith. Might we have the honor of hearing you play tonight?”The surrounding guests began to gather around, intrigued.Paige smiled graciously and dipped her head slightly.“To perform for such esteemed guests is my privilege,” she replied with poise. “I shall not refuse.”With that, she set down her wine glass and gracefully lifted her gown as she walked toward the grand piano across the room.Her slender fingers landed lightly on the black and white keys, dancing smoothly in an elegant rhythm.Under the bright lights, the piano lid reflected a soft, luxurious sheen. The melody floated gently through the air, instantly quieting the crowd.On a nearby sofa, Ria rested with a drink in hand, her posture relaxed, lips curled with boredom.“How pretentious,” she mutt

A long, black Lincoln limousine rolled to a smooth stop before the grand estate.The vintage iron gates creaked open, slowly welcoming their master home.Warm lights flickered on across the entrance, pushing back the shadows of the night.In the back seat, Briella stirred, her clear eyes blinking open.Before she could reach for the handle, Preston had already stepped out. He motioned for the bodyguards to fall back, then personally opened the door.Briella emerged with a small nod, her waist bending slightly in courtesy.“There’s really no need to be this polite,” she murmured. “You don’t have to fuss over things like this.”“I wanted to,” Preston said with a soft smile. “So let me.”He stood tall in a tailored suit, his gaze steady, gentle.Briella waved her hand dismissively, her brows drawn together in thought.“Two days from now, I’ll attend the meeting. And… how about the villa I asked you to arrange?”“No need to worry—it’s ready,” Preston assured. “Do you want to move in right

“Alright, alright! No need to be so fierce about it…”Alan muttered, frustrated when Briella said nothing and made no move to help him with the luggage.Just as his hand touched the suitcase handle—“Brother Alan! Princess Winona! You’re here! Did you miss me and my brother?”Moa dropped her tablet and ran straight to the door, her little face beaming at the two visitors.Koa followed behind at a slower pace, twisting a freshly solved Rubik’s cube in his hand.“Of course we missed you,” Alan grinned, crouching down to their level. “And your big brother brought gifts! They’re all in the suitcase. I’ll hand them over once we
