Weeks later, the kindergarten announced a parent-child meeting.An open classroom event.Both Vance and Aiden attended.The tension was palpable from the moment they entered the same room. It wasn’t surprising given that Vance once wanted to overthrow Aiden.Blue sat at a tiny table, swinging her legs lightly.Aiden stood beside her.Vance approached deliberately. And for a few seconds, their eyes met. The mutual dislike was not subtle. It simmered openly now.“Didn’t expect to see you here,” Aiden said. “I wouldn’t miss it,” Vance replied evenly.“For a friend’s child?” Aiden asked pointedly.Vance’s lips curved slightly.“Something like that.”And then, Aiden saw her, standing across the classroom. Rue.She stood near the whiteboard, speaking gently to another parent.His body went rigid. What was she doing here?His gaze sharpened instantly at the teacher’s badge. She wasn’t here visiting, she worked here.Rue turned and saw him. For a brief moment, he didn’t know what to say or d

Rue’s POVThe sound of Veronica’s body hitting the polished floor brought more attention. For a moment, no one in the vicinity moved.The officials’ eyes darted between Percy and the woman sprawled across the floor. The sterile atmosphere of the CDC building had been shattered by the suddenness of the magic attack.Veronica groaned softly as she pushed herself up on one elbow, her hair falling loose around her face. The smug confidence she had entered the room with was gone, replaced by humiliation. Her eyes burned as she looked up at Percy.“You…” she began, her voice trembling with fury.But before she could finish…“Percy.”My voice cut through the room.He turned slightly toward me.There was still anger radiating from him, a silent pressure in the air that made the nearby officials visibly uncomfortable.I stepped forward.“That’s enough...” I said in an attempt to calm him down.Percy studied me for a second, his dark eyes searching my face. Then slowly, reluctantly, he lowered

Rue’s POVThe security footage flickered faintly on the monitor. Percy stood beside me, one hand resting against the back of my chair.Neither of us spoke.On the screen, the hallway camera showed Haven slipping into the house earlier that evening, she clearly knew how to bypass locks without leaving evidence. She moved cautiously, as if aware she were committing a crime but convinced she would never be caught.I felt a strange calm settle inside me as I watched. Usually, our house was surrounded with guards. But knowing Haven’s mind, I had instructed them to act incompetent when Haven tried to sneak in. That way I would get to see what she was planning.True to my thinking, Haven had finally revealed the depth of her desperation. I switched the camera’s angles automatically to show the inside of the bedroom.The moment Haven entered the room, her entire posture changed. I watched her freeze as she saw the walls and the investigation board. Every connection I had painstakingly docume

Rue’s POVThe cold that evening was sharp enough to bite through my clothing. I noticed it the moment I stepped outside. Yet Percy stood in the middle of the yard as if the cold did not exist.He was arranging the small wooden table we had dragged outside earlier, carefully adjusting the placement of two candles and a simple vase holding several pale flowers. His movements were overly cautious, as if he feared the entire arrangement might collapse if he placed a single item incorrectly.I leaned against the doorway and watched him for a moment.His brows were slightly furrowed as he stepped back to inspect the table from a different angle.Then he frowned, walked forward and adjusted a spoon. He stepped back again.I couldn’t help it as a small laugh escaped me.Percy immediately looked up.“You’re laughing at me,” he accused, though his tone held no real irritation.“I’m just observing,” I corrected calmly.He crossed his arms.“How does it look?”I tilted my head slightly.“Like a r

Percy’s POVAiden didn’t respond immediately after I said Rue liked me. He stood there, staring at me as if the words I had just spoken were some kind of insult rather than a fact.“You’re lying to yourself,” he said finally.His voice was low.I leaned casually against the back of the couch.“Why would I lie about that?”Aiden’s jaw tightened.“You wish she really liked you…I was her first love. You just want to provoke me.”I chuckled softly.“Provoking you would be too easy.”His eyes darkened.“You think you understand her,” he said slowly.“I don’t think,” I replied calmly.“I know.”The calm certainty in my voice clearly irritated him.Aiden stepped closer.“You’ve only known her for a short time.”“That’s true.”“And you think that’s enough to understand someone like Rue?”I tilted my head slightly.“Actually, yes.”“Your arrogance is clouding your judgement.”“I’m being honest.”The silence that followed felt heavy but I wasn’t finished. Because if Aiden had come here expectin
