"Let me go, you fucking little bitch! I'll kill you!" She shrieked, her voice cracking with raw, unfiltered fury."Shut up, you're so annoying," I said, my voice flat and devoid of any warmth. "Now be quiet and listen, or you'll miss the best part."I turned away from her, walked back over to the table, and unlatched the small case. I picked up the scalpel, feeling the familiar, balanced weight of the steel handle between my fingers. Turning back around, I walked slowly over and stood right in front of Nysa, looking down at the woman who had tormented me across two lifetimes."Don't you want to know why I was always one step ahead of you?" I asked, tilting my head slightly as I watched her chest heave with ragged breaths. "Don't you want to know why none of your schemes or little tricks ever worked? Or how come I found out that you're actually my mother? Don't you ever wonder why Dario never looked at you even once?" I asked.She was smart ,because she stayed quiet, though her eye

The metal doors slammed shut with a heavy, echoing thud right behind me, sealing the darkness around me as the van tires squealed against the concrete floor, peeling out of the garage before I could even figure out who had just made the biggest mistake of their lives.The back of the van smelled like cheap air freshener and old dust. I stayed down on the dirty floorboards, letting my eyes adjust to the dim light filtering through the tiny gap where the back doors didn't quite shut all the way. My wrists were tied tight behind my back with heavy zip ties, biting into my skin every time the van hit a pothole.Up front, two guys were arguing in low, rough voices."You sure boss wants her brought straight to the old yard?" the driver asked, keeping his eyes glued to the rearview mirror."Yeah, just drive. Russo said we grab a the Valteri wife and we secure the perimeter. This little chick was walking out of Cipher Core alone like she owned the place. Easiest damn job all week," the guy in

The heavy iron gates of the Valteri estate clicked shut behind our SUV, the sound echoing in the quiet night air. For a few days, driving up this long paved road meant my blood pressure spiked, my eyes automatically checking every tree line and dark corner for snipers or cars tracking our bumper. But tonight, as the headlights washed over the tall oak trees lining the drive, the silence felt different. Russo was done. Nysa was gone. The dark cloud that had been hanging over every single breath I took was finally cleared off the board.Dario killed the engine in the main driveway and turned off the lights. In the dim amber glow from the porch lights, he looked exhausted, but his eyes were steady as he looked over at me in the passenger seat."We're home," he said, his voice quiet and low in the small space of the car."Yeah," I said, unbuckling my seatbelt and leaning back against the leather headrest.He reached across the center console and slid his hand into mine. His fingers were

We walked down the wide hall into the room, where Dad was, sitting in a big chair, drinking coffee, Uncle Pascal was leaning against the fireplace, looking relaxed in a dark jacket. Dario as standing near the small counter, pouring drinks.When Carlton walked in, Dad looked up . There was a brief, sharp second where two powerful men from different worlds sized each other up, polite and totally respectful."Carlton," Dad said, getting up and giving him a firm, clean handshake. "Good to see you.""Pedro," Carlton replied, shaking back with the exact same level composure. "Pascal."Uncle Pascal gave a little nod, smiling slightly. "Good to have you here, Carlton. Want a drink?""Water is fine, thanks," Carlton said, setting his bag down on the low table in the middle of the room and taking a seat on the couch, entirely comfortable in a house that wasn't his. Dario handed Dad and Pascal their glasses, then sat right next to me, sliding his arm around my back."Let's get right to it," I sa

He reached out, his fingers gently catching my chin and tilting my head up so I was looking right into his eyes. His gaze was soft, but there was an unmistakable intensity behind it, that fierce, protective instinct that had been growing stronger every single day since I showed him the test."Good," he murmured, leaning down to press a soft, lingering kiss to my lips. "Because your dad and I just finished setting up the schedule for the next few months." he said.I pulled back slightly, narrowing my eyes at him. "What schedule?" I asked.He gave me a slow, possessive smirk, his hand sliding down from my chin to rest flat against my neck, his thumb resting gently against my pulse point."The schedule where you don't step foot outside this estate unless Jax and I are personally driving the car," Dario said. "Your father wanted to lock you in the master suite until the baby arrives. I convinced him to let you have the whole house and grounds instead. You're welcome." he said.I stared at
