121. The Heir At Risk.

DAMON'S POV The moment my boots hit the gravel outside Marian’s house, the air felt… hollow.Like everything normal had been scraped out of the world and replaced with silence.Too much silence.I felt Sadie stiffen beside me. “Damon…?” her voice wavered, barely a whisper.I didn’t answer.My body was already shifting into the kind of focus that had kept me alive too many times to count. My men should’ve been here.I placed them here. And they were good—disciplined, invisible, thorough.But the driveway was empty.No guards.No patrols.Just two black SUVs—doors closed, engines cold—and a metallic scent whispering from the air.Blood.I approached the nearest vehicle, pulled the door open, and found the streaks along the seat.Not much. Not enough for a body. But enough to say something had gone very, very wrong.Sadie gasped softly behind me.“Where are they? Damon, where—”“Stay close to me,” I murmured, low, steady, even as anger curled inside my ribs like a blade.We stepped insi

122. A Stranger Who Knew Us All.

SADIE’S POVI could see that Damon didn’t recognize the number. And somehow, that alone told me everything would go wrong.Damon answered before I could say anything. For a moment, nothing came through—just a cold, empty silence that made my skin crawl.Then a distorted voice slid through the speaker.“Mr. Prince,” it drawled, metallic and warped. “So good of you to pick up.”Damon’s grip on the phone tightened. My stomach knotted.“Where is the boy?” he asked.A soft, twisted laugh crackled through the line—unnatural, mechanical. “Safe. Safer than you, at the moment.”I flinched before I could stop myself.The voice went on, smooth despite the distortion, every word deliberate and suffocating. “If you want him back, you will come to the woman’s house.”My breath hitched. A pause followed—heavy, intentional.“Both of you. Together. No guards. No entourage.”Damon’s jaw clenched. I felt the tension radiating off him.“Why the two of us?” he demanded.Another laugh spilled out—colder, a

123. The Unraveling of the Prince Line.

DAMON’S POVSilas Aldo.I’d known for a long time he worked for my father. But I never expected this—that he’d been carrying a grudge sharp enough to carve all of us open. And I still didn’t know why Bella was even here, why she’d been dragged into this mess.None of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was getting Sadie and Daven out of this alive.Silas stepped forward, eyes burning with a hatred he’d nurtured for decades. “How about we hear it straight from the old bastard himself?”Before my father could protest, Silas ripped the gag from his mouth, jerking his head back with a violent twist. Randall choked in air like he’d been drowning.“Go on,” Silas sneered. “Explain to him how you ended up here&h

124. The Moment I Lost Her.

DAMON’S POV.Theo’s grip on Sadie trembled, and his voice cracked as he spat the words at her:“Kill you? I love you, Sadie. Isn’t everything I’ve done enough proof? Even Daven is closer to me than to him!”Before I could react— before Sadie could pull away— Theo crushed his mouth against hers.A forced kiss. Brutal. Desperate.Sadie cried out against it, trying to twist away— and I nearly lunged.Nearly.The only reason I didn’t tear him off her was because the barrel digging into her ribs would’ve gone off.One wrong move, and she’d bleed out before I could blink.My hand curled into a fist so tight I felt blood seep beneath my bandage.
