Travis stood in the dimly lit living area of the Castile estate. The moment he heard footsteps on the stairs, he straightened, his Alpha presence instinctively flaring before he forced it back down. Aubrey appeared, looking small and weary. It was then that Travis realized she hadn't been asleep at all.Aubrey stopped a few feet away, her gaze lingering on the coat he was wearing, the same one from the intimate photo Eileen had just leaked.“What are you doing here?” she asked him. Her voice was steady, but he could hear the underlying tremor of a heart under siege.Travis searched her eyes. “You didn’t answer my calls,” he said simply. “I was worried.”Aubrey arched an eyebrow, her heart aching with every beat. “Worried? I’m perfectly safe here. You dropped me off yourself, remember?”“Yeah,” Travis paused. His pride and his focus on the ambush kept him silent about the woman who had been waiting at his condo. “I’m sorry if I didn’t call the moment I got back to my place. Something c

“Why are you smiling? They didn't even succeed in killing Aubrey, did they?” Myra asked, her voice cutting through the tension of the room as she watched Eileen lower her phone.Eileen turned toward her friend with a look of pure, unadulterated triumph. The rage that had shattered her glass moments ago had shifted into something far more chilling. “It turns out I don’t even have to lift a finger anymore. Someone else is already trying to do the job for me. Whoever they are, I owe them my deepest gratitude. I just hope they finish her off quickly next time,” she said, her voice dripping with malice.At first, Myra was silent, her sharp eyes scanning Eileen’s face. It took a moment for the weight of the statement to sink in, but when it did, Myra’s eyes widened. “So, you’re saying someone else has a grudge against Aubrey? If that’s true... who could it be?”Eileen picked up another wine glass, the dark red liquid swirling as she took a slow, deliberate sip. The victorious glint in her ey

The baby shopping trip had stretched into the late afternoon. Aubrey and Danica’s arms were heavy with bags filled with unisex onesies, feeding bottles, and assorted newborn essentials. Their faces were flushed with the kind of simple, human happiness that had been rare lately, laughing about the tiny socks they’d found. But as they approached the mall’s exit, the atmosphere shifted.Three men, strangers dressed in sharp, formal attire, stepped into their path. They moved with a synchronized, predatory grace that screamed military training.Aubrey’s heart hammered against her ribs. Her hand flew to her stomach, an instinctive protective gesture for the life growing inside her. Beside her, Danica’s playful energy vanished, replaced by a fierce, protective stance as she stepped slightly in front of Aubrey.“Who are you?” Danica demanded. Her chin was up, but Aubrey could hear the faint tremor of adrenaline in her voice.The men stopped exactly two meters away, maintaining a respectful b

After Aubrey finished cooking, she immediately served the meal on the kitchen table. The soup was still steaming, and she had plated the dishes with a careful, domestic touch that made the space feel more like a home. She watched with a growing smile as Artus, now more commonly known as Travis, began serving himself rice and the main course.Travis didn't just eat to be polite; he was genuinely savoring every bite. It was obvious that he wasn't just eating to make Aubrey happy. He was truly enjoying the food.“I didn't realize you were this good in the kitchen,” Travis admitted between bites, his voice thick with surprise. “As in... wow.”Aubrey laughed softly, the sound light and airy. “You probably thought I only knew how to order takeout.”“Maybe a little,” he winked, a rare, playful glint in his eyes. “But I stand corrected. You're amazing.”Aubrey was delighted by the praise. She felt a surge of genuine appreciation from him, and even though the dinner was simple, it felt special

Aubrey remained on the sofa, clutching the envelope to her chest as if it were a shield against the dread seeping into her bones. She didn't know why, but she felt a seismic shift coming, the kind of change that once unleashed, could never be undone.Her phone buzzed again. Another notification from the unknown number. She didn't open the thread, but the preview of the previous message haunted her.I hope you're alone when you watch this...Her gaze flickered to the USB drive resting on the table next to the blood-stained cloth. With a dry throat and a heart hammering against her ribs, she stood up. She grabbed the drive and retreated to her study, where her desktop sat waiting.The house was silent, dangerously so. The staff were in their quarters, leaving the halls echoing with an eerie stillness. Every step felt heavy, as if an invisible shadow were trailing her, closing in with every passing second.Sitting before the computer, she plugged in the USB. A single folder appeared on t
