The Bait

DAMON'S POV: The plan started coming together in my head like pieces of a big puzzle fitting into place. I had been sitting at the big desk in my study for three straight days, staring at paper maps, looking at overhead satellite photos, and reading through old reports. I made a few phone calls to pull in favors from old friends, people who owed me from past jobs, people with very special skills that you do not read about in regular news stories. I collected every bit of detail I could find on Viktor Volkov, including his daily routines, his favorite routes, and his personal habits. By the time the sun started coming down, I finally had a real strategy. It was risky, no doubt about it. It was the kind of move that could easily go wrong if I was not careful. But after looking at every other option, it was the only idea that actually gave us a real shot at winning. I was going to use myself as live bait. The goal was to trick Viktor into coming out from his hiding spot in th

His Dangerous Strategy

DAMON'S POV:"I do not care about any of that if it means losing you," she replied, her voice softening.I looked at her closely. Her eyes were bright with unshed tears, and her hands were trembling in mine."You are not going to lose me," I promised her. "I have trained for these exact situations for years. I have done this kind of work before, and I know how to keep myself safe.""You are not indestructible, Damon," she argued back, shaking her head. "You are not a robot. You are a regular person who can get hurt, just like anyone else."I reached out, wrapped my arms around her shoulders, and pulled her in close against my chest. I held her tight, letting her hear the steady beat of my heart."I am not letting him harm you," I murmured into her hair. "I am not going to let him step between us or ruin what we have. I would rather take every risk in the book than let anything happen to you."She pulled back just enough to look me in the face, her gaze suddenly firm and unwaver

Viktor’s Revenge

DAMON'S POV:I agreed to her demand.I really did not want to. Every instinct in my body was screaming at me to lock her inside the mansion, surround her with our best guards, and keep her as far away from Viktor Volkov as possible. But deep down, I knew she was right. We were in this together now. Besides, if I tried to leave her behind in the city, she would just find another way to follow me out here anyway. She was extremely stubborn like that. She had always been that way, ever since the day I met her.So I gave in. Three days later, we loaded up the truck and left for the mountains.Before we left, Isabelle called her parents to tell them she was going away on a short trip. She framed it as a quiet writing break out in the countryside, telling them she needed a few days to clear her head, find fresh ideas, and step away from the busy city routine. Her mother sounded a bit skeptical on the phone. Her mother was always suspicious about sudden plans. Still, she did not pry too

The Trap Goes Wrong

DAMON'S POV:I reached out and took both of her cool hands in mine."Thank you," I said, meeting her eyes. A genuine smile spread across her face, softening her whole expression and I leaned down and gave her a quick, gentle kiss, holding her hands tight."Let us wrap this up," I murmured.She nodded firmly. "Let us finish it."*ISABELLE'S POV:*The cabin interior was simple, cool, and carried the dry scent of pine wood.I stayed by the glass window, watching the shadowy trees while my heart thumped steadily against my ribs. I was definitely worried, but I was also completely determined. I was not going to stand by and let Viktor Volkov ruin the peaceful life Damon and I were building together. I was not going to let a total stranger take away our future.Damon moved around the main room behind me, double-checking his tools and reviewing our step-by-step plan one last time. He appeared completely focused and steady. He was the exact strong, dependable partner I had always

The Gunshot

ISABELLE'S POV:The gun went off with a sudden, deafening pop.The sharp sound cracked straight through the cabin and bouncing off the thin walls. I screamed loudly before I could even catch my breath. The loud sound ripped right out of my chest, full of pure surprise and absolute fear.For one quick second, the whole room seemed to lock in place. Time felt like it completely stopped moving. The air in the house grew still, and my brain simply froze up. I could not get any oxygen into my lungs, my legs felt heavy, and I could barely process what was happening right in front of me. All I could do was stare at the floor as Damon launched himself straight into Viktor.Damon moved ridiculously fast, throwing his whole weight against the taller man before Viktor could even steady his aim. The force of the jump sent both of them crashing down hard onto the ground. The sudden impact knocked the silver pistol right out of Viktor's grip, sending it skidding quickly across the room and sli

A Fatal Mistake

DAMON'S POV:I was bleeding.The pain hit me all at once, a sharp, burning sensation in my side that spread quickly through my whole body. I looked down and saw the stain growing on my shirt, spreading down to the ground. It was moving much faster than I expected, turning into a small puddle with every second that ticked by.Viktor had managed to poke me with a hidden blade. I had not even noticed he was holding anything. He must have kept it tucked deep inside his sleeve or his boot, waiting patiently for the exact right moment to take a final swipe. He found his chance when I was looking over at Isabelle, making sure she was out of the way. I was so focused on keeping her safe that I let my guard drop for a split second, totally overlooking the small weapon in his hand.I really should have known better. I should have checked his pockets more thoroughly and made sure he was completely pinned before I turned my head. But my mind was so set on protecting Isabelle from any harm tha

Race Against Time

ISABELLE'S POV:The backup security team and the local police officers arrived a few moments later.They came through the front door in a single group, flashlight beams cutting through the dim room while shouting clear instructions to secure the area. They took in the entire situation in just a couple of seconds, their eyes moving quickly from me to Damon, and then over to Viktor, who was lying flat on the ground, breathing heavily and nursing his own bumps and scrapes from his fight with Damon."Room is clear!" one of the guards called out loudly to the people outside. "We have an injured man in here! Bring the medical team inside right now!"The next five minutes felt like a fast, overwhelming rush of activity. The security guards spread out to check every single corner of the cabin, making sure the perimeter was completely safe and that no one else was hiding outside in the trees. The police officers stepped inside right behind them, talking steadily into their shoulder radios

Waiting for Damon

ISABELLE'S POV:The hospital waiting room was plain and I sat in a hard blue plastic chair near the wall, my hands resting in my lap, my eyes fixed completely on the large set of doors that led into the surgical room. I had been sitting in that exact spot for several hours. I had not slept a wink. I had not touched a bite of food. I had barely shifted my position at all. I just sat there, staring at those double doors, waiting for a doctor to step out and give me an update.Damon was in surgery. He had lost a lot of blood back at the cabin, and the medical team had rushed him inside the moment we arrived.My mind kept circling back to everything that happened at the cabin. I thought about the moment Viktor appeared from the hallway. I thought about the way he pointed the gun right at my face. I thought about how Damon threw himself forward without a second of hesitation, putting his own safety on the line just to keep me out of harm's way. I remembered the exact moment I saw the

A Second Chance

ISABELLE'S POV:My thoughts kept drifting back to Damon and our history together. I remembered the very first day we met when we were just kids playing in the wide backyard. I remembered the sweet promise he made back then, telling me with total confidence that we would stay together forever when we grew up. Then I remembered the painful day years later when I pushed him away, the day I let misunderstandings stand between us, and the day I watched him walk down the driveway without looking back.I thought about all those long years we spent completely separated from each other. The quiet evenings, the regrets, and the constant feeling that a huge piece of my life was missing. I had spent so much time wondering how things might have turned out if I had just been brave enough to tell him the truth right from the start.I thought about the sweet moments we shared at his house over the past few weeks. The way he held my hand, the way he smiled whenever I walked into the room, and the w

When He Opened His Eyes

DAMON'S POV:The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the pain.It was a dull ache starting near my ribs and spreading through my entire body like a slow wave. The second thing I noticed was also the beeping nearby. It was a regular, gentle rhythm coming from the monitor beside the frame, keeping track of my heart, my breathing, and my pulse which prompted me to open my eyes slowly.The room was simple, painted in light shades and the window blinds were mostly pulled down but I could see that the sun was up. A small television screen hung silently on the wall near the corner. On the bedside table sat a tray with a fresh glass of water, alongside a vase packed with bright pink, white, and red flowers that someone had placed there with genuine care.And right next to me sat Isabelle.She was fast asleep in the chair beside my bed, her body resting in a slightly awkward position with her arms folded on the bed edge. Her soft hair fell loosely across her shoulders, completely u
