Chapter 31

The Moment He BreaksAVA'S POV The gunshot split the night.Ava froze.For a second-just one second-everything slowed.Dominic moved.Too fast.Too late-No.Not too late.He reached her just as the trigger was pulled.His arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her out of the line of fire.The bullet tore past them,close enough that Ava felt it.The force.The heat.A broken gasp escaped her lips.Dominic didn’t let go.He turned with her, shielding her body completely with his own as they hit the ground.Another shot rang out.Victor roared,“GET DOWN!”More gunfire erupted.Chaos swallowed the road again.Dominic’s hand tightened around Ava’s head, pressing her against his chest.“Don’t move.”His voice was low.Deadly calm.Ava clutched his shirt instinctively, her entire body shaking.“I...”“Quiet.”Not harsh.Not cold.Controlled.Protective.Something shifted in his tone.Something she hadn’t heard before.Above them, footsteps rushed closer.Dominic’s eyes flicked up;And wen

Chapter 32

FracturesAVA'S POV The silence didn’t break.It stretched.Heavy.Unforgiving.Ava stared at Dominic like she didn’t recognize him anymore.And maybe she didn’t.Because the man standing in front of her now,Wasn’t just her husband.Wasn’t just the man who protected her.He was part of it.Part of something dark.Something that had been circling her long before she even knew.Her voice came out low.Unsteady.“You kept this from me.”Dominic didn’t deny it.“Yes.”No excuse.No justification.Just truth.Ava let out a shaky breath.A hollow laugh followed.“So while I was trying to understand why my life suddenly stopped making sense…”Her eyes burned.“You already knew.”Dominic stepped closer.“Ava...”She moved back immediately.“Don’t.”The word hit harder than a slap.Victor glanced between them again.“…yeah, I’m definitely not interrupting this one.”He quietly walked toward the fallen attackers, giving them space.Ava’s chest rose and fell rapidly.“You watched me question

Chapter 33

Cracks in the WallsAVA'S POV The ride back was silent.Too silent.The kind of silence that pressed against your chest and made it hard to breathe.Ava sat by the window, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. Her reflection stared back at her in the glass; pale, shaken, unfamiliar.Everything felt… off.Like her life had tilted and refused to settle back into place.Beside her, Dominic said nothing.Did nothing.But she could feel him.His presence filled the car.Heavy.Watchful.Unyielding.Victor, for once, didn’t try to lighten the mood.Even he knew that this wasn’t something you joked your way through.The car pulled into the mansion gates.The guards were already waiting.Tense.Alert.One of them rushed forward as the car stopped.“Sir...”Dominic stepped out before he could finish.“Double the security.”His voice was sharp.Controlled.“No one gets in or out without my approval.”“Yes, sir.”Another guard hesitated.“The cameras...”“Fix them.”Dominic didn’t even look

Chapter 34

The First MoveAVA'S POV The mansion was too quiet.Not peaceful.Not calm.Just… waiting.Ava stepped out of the bathroom slowly, water still clinging to her clothes and skin. Her reflection in the mirror caught her attention again.This time,She didn’t look away.Her eyes were different.Still tired.Still red from crying.But steady.No confusion.No hesitation.Just clarity.Painful, sharp clarity.She walked into the room, each step more certain than the last.Everything Dominic said replayed in her mind.They made a deal.You were the price.Her fingers curled slightly.“Then I’ll decide what I’m worth.”The words were quiet.But they carried weight.Ava moved quickly now.She changed into dry clothes, tied her hair back, and grabbed her phone.Her hand hovered over the screen for a moment.One name.Vanessa.Her sister.Ava stared at it.Her chest tightened but this time, she didn’t let it break her.InsteadShe pressed call.It rang.Once.Twice.Three times.“Hello?”Vaness

Chapter 35

Odut of the CageAVA'S POV The hallway was empty.Too empty.Ava stepped out of her room, closing the door softly behind her. Her heartbeat was loud in her ears, but her movements were controlled—careful.Deliberate.She paused for a second, listening.Nothing.No voices.No footsteps.Good.Dominic was gone.That made this easier.Or maybe… more dangerous.Either wayShe wasn’t stopping.Ava walked down the hallway, her steps light against the polished floor. The mansion that once felt overwhelming now felt like something else entirely.A fortress.One she had just learned how to escape.As she reached the staircase, voices drifted faintly from the far end of the corridor.Guards.Talking.Distracted.Perfect.Ava didn’t hesitate.She turned in the opposite direction, taking the back stairs instead the ones the staff used.She had noticed them before.Back when she was still observing.Still trying to understand this place.Now?She was using it.Each step down felt like a decision.

Chapter 36

CollisionDominic POVThe air inside the warehouse turned heavy the moment Dominic stepped in.Everything stilled.Even the man holding Ava seemed to pause for a fraction of a second.Dominic’s gaze locked on her first.Not the men.Not the setup.Her.His voice was low.Controlled.“Ava.”Her heart slammed against her ribs.“I didn’t know,” she said quickly, the words rushing out. “I thought it was Vanessa. I didn’t know it was a trap.”Dominic didn’t respond immediately.But something in his expression shifted.Not softer.But… relieved.Barely.Then his attention moved.To the man standing in front of her.The one who had spoken.The one who hadn’t moved.Victor stepped in behind Dominic, glancing around.“Well,” he muttered, “this is familiar.”More men stepped out of the shadows.Not rushed.Not chaotic.Calm.Organized.Prepared.Victor exhaled slowly.“Yeah. Definitely planned.”Ava’s stomach tightened.The man in front of her smiled again.This time, it was directed at Domini

Chapter 37

-What He BecomesDOMINIC'S POV The gunfire didn’t stop when Ava left.If anything, it got worse.Louder.Closer.More deliberate.Dominic didn’t move from where he stood.Not immediately.His eyes followed the direction Victor had taken Ava through.Calculating.Tracking.Making sure.Then, only then, did he turn back.And when he didThere was nothing human left in his expression.The man across from him noticed.His smile faded just slightly.“Ah,” he said quietly. “There it is.”Dominic said nothing.The warehouse lights flickered faintly above them.Dust hung in the air.The sound of footsteps shifted around him.Men closing in.Weapons raised.Confident.They thought they had him contained.They were wrong.The first man rushed him.Too fast.Too eager.Dominic stepped forward instead of back.That alone threw the man off.A mistake.A fatal one.The gun barely lifted before Dominic grabbed his wrist, twisting it sharply. The crack echoed. The weapon dropped. Dominic caught it b

Chapter 38

Chapter 38 — The Distance Between UsThe car was quiet.Too quiet.Ava sat in the passenger seat, her hands resting in her lap, fingers still slightly trembling despite everything being over. Or at least… it should have been over.Victor drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting lazily by his side, but his eyes were sharp, constantly checking the mirrors.Always alert.Always watching.“You’re thinking too loud,” he said after a while.Ava didn’t look at him.“I almost got him killed.”Victor exhaled softly.“No,” he said. “You walked into something that was already set up. Big difference.”She shook her head.“It was my choice to go there.”“And it was their plan to make sure you did.”That made her pause.Victor glanced at her briefly.“You’re not the center of the mistake here,” he added. “You’re the target.”Ava leaned back slightly, staring out the window.The city lights blurred past again, but this time they didn’t feel freeing.They felt distant.Unreachable.“…he kn

Chapter 39

— The Names We FearThe word hung in the air.Names.Ava stood her ground, her pulse steady despite the storm building inside her. She had crossed a line she could not uncross. There was no going back to ignorance. No returning to the illusion that this was just a marriage of convenience gone wrong.Dominic watched her like he was seeing her differently for the first time.Not fragile.Not someone to shield.Something else.Something that could stand beside him.“You asked for names,” he said finally.Ava didn’t move.“I’m listening.”Dominic stepped further into the room, loosening his cuff slightly. A small gesture, but it told her something. He was preparing. Not for a fight. For truth.“That network I mentioned,” he began, “is called the Consortium.”The name settled heavily between them.Ava repeated it softly. “The Consortium…”“It operates globally,” Dominic continued. “Finance, politics, private contracts. They don’t just control money. They control outcomes.”Ava’s mind raced

Chapter 40

— Learning the GameAVA’S POVI didn’t sleep.Not because I couldn’t.But because my mind refused to shut up.Every word Dominic had said replayed over and over again, like my brain was trying to piece together a puzzle it didn’t fully understand yet.The Consortium.The auction.My parents.Vanessa.Ethan.Me.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at nothing, my fingers gripping the sheets tightly.They offered me.The words didn’t feel real.They didn’t fit.Because no matter how flawed my parents were… no matter how distant things had become over the years…That?That was something else entirely.A sharp knock on my door broke through my thoughts.I looked up.“Come in.”The door opened slightly, and one of the maids stepped in.“Good morning, ma’am. Sir Dominic asked that you meet him downstairs.”Of course he did.I exhaled slowly.“I’ll be down soon.”She nodded and left quietly.The moment the door closed, I stood.If this was how things were going to be now…Then I wasn’t goin
