CHAPTER ELEVEN—THE SAFE ROOM

For a moment, the world outside the small room felt suspended, just the faint static in Kai’s earpiece and Elara’s own heartbeat pounding in her ears. She still hadn’t processed everything she’d seen, everything she now suspected. But the look on Kai’s face told her she wouldn’t get answers here.Not now.He adjusted the strap of the medical kit across his back and reached out a hand to her. Not touching, just offering.“Elara, we have to move.” His voice was firm again, steady, back in that controlled mode she was beginning to understand. “They’re sweeping the halls. If we stay here, we’re exposed.”She forced herself to stand. Her legs trembled, partly from exhaustion, partly from the weight of everything she had learned in just one hour. Every step toward him felt like stepping into deeper fog.“Where are you taking me?” she asked quietly.Kai hesitated, as though measuring how much truth she could handle. “Somewhere no one can reach you.”She didn’t know if she believed him. But t

CHAPTER TWELVE—DAMON’S SECRETS BEGIN TO UNRAVEL

Elara stood frozen, the photographs trembling in her hands. Every image felt like a punch to her ribs. She knew Damon was private, secretive, even, but this was different. This was an obsession. Control. A cage she hadn’t realized she’d been living inside.Kai watched her carefully, his posture tense, as if waiting for something to break.“Elara,” he said quietly, “you need to put those back.”“No.” Her voice came out sharper than she expected. “No, I need answers.”“We don’t have time.”“I don’t care.” She shoved one of the photos toward him. “You knew he was tracking me like this? Recording me? Why?”Kai’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t look away. “Because Damon trusts no one. Not even his wife.” The words hit harder than the photos.Elara stepped back, her shoulder brushing the cold steel wall. “This isn’t normal. This isn’t… marriage. This is surveillance.”Kai exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck as though battling something inside himself. “You’re right. It isn’t normal. But you

CHAPTER THIRTEEN—KAI SHOWS LOYALTY

Elara didn’t realize she’d stopped breathing until her vision blurred around the edges.The folder in her hands felt heavier than paper should ever feel.ELARA: CLASSIFIED.Her name was printed like a warning label.She didn’t open it. She couldn’t. Not yet.Her fingers tightened around the file as footsteps approached from behind.“Elara,” Valentina said sharply, “step away from that drawer.”Too late.Valentina’s eyes had already landed on the open cabinet, the scattered documents, the glowing screen displaying Damon’s encrypted codes.And the suspicion on her face was icy enough to slice through bone.“What exactly are you doing in this room?” Valentina moved closer, smooth and slow, like someone approaching a ticking bomb. “This isn’t for you.”Elara straightened. “Maybe if Damon had treated me like a wife instead of a ghost, I wouldn’t need to find answers in locked rooms.”“That’s not an answer.”“No, Valentina. It’s the truth.”Before Valentina could respond, Kai stepped into t

CHAPTER FOURTEEN — THE GALA INCIDENT

Kai didn’t answer the device.He stood there, still, rigid, every muscle pulled tight, while the words report her weaknesses hovered in the air like poison.Elara felt something inside her tilt. She couldn’t tell if it was fear, betrayal, or the shock of hearing a piece of Kai she’d never known existed. Agent Valez. That wasn’t a nickname. That wasn’t an accident. It was his real identity, spoken by someone who clearly owned it.Valentina was the first to find her voice. “Elara,” she whispered sharply, “step away from him.”But Elara didn’t move. Couldn’t move. She was studying Kai like he was a puzzle she suddenly realized she’d been assembling upside down.His thumb hovered over the device. A long second passed… then he pressed the screen and slipped it silently back into his jacket.He didn’t report anything.He didn’t speak a single word.For reasons she didn’t understand yet, that mattered.Kai turned to her. His expression had changed, not softer, not colder, but something in be
