Serena’s POVThe church smelled like old wood and lost prayers. I pushed the heavy door open with one hand, my fingers trembling slightly as the cool metal pressed against my palm. The moment I stepped inside, everything went quiet. No sound. No footsteps or faint hum of cars from outside the street. Just a thick, unsettling calm, like the very air was holding its breathI don't know what I was expecting, Damian leaning against a chair like he owned the place, or finding him bleeding on the altar. My heart thumped slowly and uneasily, and I could hear the thumping echoing in my ears. I went further into the sanctuary. The stone floor was cracked, and my shoes made soft tapping sounds as I walked. The stained-glass windows cast dull colors on my skin.“Damian?” I whispered, though my voice felt too small for the emptiness around me.A shadow moved at the front. My breath caught, and I froze for a moment, my fingers curling tightly around my phone. Then the person stepped out of the d

Serena’s POVThe room is quiet except for the soft hum of the laptop, I can feel my breath stuck somewhere between my lungs as the first folder on the USB opens. Nathan leans forward with his arms on his knees. His fingers keep tapping against each other, so he isn't as calm as he looks. Adrian stands behind me with his arms crossed so tight that his muscles shake under the fabric of his shirt, and Leo sits so close that I can feel him staring at my face rather than the screen. None of us speak because the files loading in front of us already carry a weight bigger than anything we have ever faced before.The folder is labeled Project E.L.I.S.I.A.N. in faded letters like someone tried to erase it but failed. Adrian’s jaw clenches when he sees it, and he steps closer as if the words might jump out and hurt us. I click the first file, and the screen fills with documents from old paper, each stamped with the Valehart crest. Nathan slowly exhales and runs his hand through his hair, and Leo

Serena’s POVThe house was eerily quiet the morning after Vanessa was arrested, like the walls were trying to calm down after all the recent drama. Reporters gathered outside the gates, but their voices sounded softer, almost polite. It was strange that the same people who had tried to take me down were now calling me strong, brave, and unbreakable. Their words felt unreal, like applause wrapped in smoke that vanished before it could touch my heart.Nathan was watching the news in the living room, rubbing his forehead as he looked at every headline. He looked older today, and his tiredness didn't seem like it belonged to someone so smart and in charge. He turned to face me, and his eyes softened. “Serena,” he said quietly, “they finally see you the way we always have.”I didn’t know what to say because the sudden change scared me more than the hatred ever had. Hate was predictable, loud, and easy to understand, but praise always felt like a trap waiting to close around my throat.

Serena’s POVIt was a quiet night, but my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was echoing through the air. Adrian stood in front of me, adjusting the disguise hood he made me wear. His hands were steady, but I could feel the storm behind his calm face. He pulled the cloth gently around my face and gave me a look as if he wanted to keep the world away from me. “Stay close to the exit route,” he murmured, his voice low and tense. “And if anything goes wrong, you run first. Do you hear me, Serena?”I nodded, but my hands were shaking under the sleeves. Nathan stood behind him wearing a headset and holding a map, keeping track of every bit of the meeting place. I felt a tightness in my chest as he kept looking at me, even though he didn't say much. Leo was out there, alone and scared. I felt like I was breaking apart. Nathan came closer to me and touched my shoulder softly. He whispered, "We will be right behind you. Even though we won't be visible to you."Leo’s voice in the v

Serena’s POVIt was a heavy morning, and I felt like a stone was sitting on my chest, making it hard to move. I sat by the window in Adrian’s office, watching the city move fast while my world slowed down. Leo and Nathan were arguing downstairs about increasing security, but their voices sounded far away. I couldn't stop thinking about the news report that spread quickly everywhere: “Vanessa has escaped from the prison, her whereabouts unknown.”Adrian entered the office with a file in his hand and worry in his eyes. He placed it on the table with a low sigh, rubbing his temples in frustration. “She didn’t even waste time,” he muttered, his voice tight. “Vanessa has taken over her father’s hidden company.”My heart sank as I opened the file and saw Vanessa’s face staring back at me. Her smile looked sharper than before, like she had shed her old skin and grown new fangs. Every line on the paper pointed to the partnership she was forming—men who once served Daniel Cross, men who hated
