Chapter Four TwoCairos’s POVI followed the doctor into the small private room and closed the door behind me.My heart was beating harder than usual, and I did not like the feeling at all. I had faced armed enemies without fear, walked into dangerous territory alone, and made decisions that could determine whether people lived or died, but standing in that room waiting for a piece of paper somehow felt worse than all of that.The doctor walked toward his desk and picked up a sealed envelope.“The DNA test is ready,” he said.I stared at the envelope in his hand.For a moment, I could not move.I had already considered the possibility that Zuri could be my daughter. The matching blood type had put the thought into my head, and once it was there, I could not get rid of it. Still, thinking about it and seeing the result were two completely different things.The doctor walked toward me and handed me the paper.I took it, but my fingers tightened around it without opening it.I stared at

Chapter 44Veyra’s POVBy the time I returned home that evening, I felt like I had lived through an entire week in a single day.I was exhausted, but it was not the kind of exhaustion that came from physical work. My body was fine, but my mind felt heavy from everything that had happened, and every time I thought about the empty desk, the missing files, and the way that employee had stood there and told me that I no longer had a place in the Defense Center, anger rose inside me all over again.I had spent five years of my life in that place.Five years of waking up every morning knowing that hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people depended on the decisions I made behind those screens. I had worked through nights without sleeping, stayed awake during emergencies, fixed problems that could have cost lives, and built systems that people now used as if they had always existed.Yet in one day, everything connected to my name had been removed.I pushed the door open and walked inside witho

Chapter Forty-Six : Choose Between Cairos’s POVAstra walked into the room just as Veyra was preparing to leave. “I want to see you, Cairos.”I looked at her for a moment before turning back to Veyra, who had already picked up her things.“I’ll leave you two to talk,” she said.“You don’t have to,” I replied.Veyra gave me a small smile. “It is fine. I have already said what I needed to say.”I knew she was talking about the land, and I was about to remind her that I would take care of it when she walked toward the door.She left without noticing that she had forgotten the list she had brought.I watched the door close behind her, then turned toward Astra.“What do you want?”Astra walked closer. “There is something I need to discuss with you.”Before she could continue, her eyes fell on the papers Veyra had left on the table.She picked them up. “What is this?”I held out my hand. “Give it to me.”She looked at the first page, then turned to the next one.Her eyes stopped when she s

Chapter Forty EighrChapter Veyra’s POVBy the time I returned home, I was completely exhausted.My clothes were dusty from walking around the construction area all day, my feet hurt from being on them for hours, and my head was still filled with everything that needed to be done before the building could properly start operating.There were still workers I needed to speak with, equipment that had not arrived, rooms that needed to be repaired, and several parts of the system that I needed to go through again because I wanted everything to be done properly.I had expected to walk into the house, go straight to my room, take a shower, and finally rest.Instead, the moment I entered the living room, I saw Astra sitting there.She was looking at something on her phone, but she raised her eyes as soon as she heard me.For a moment, neither of us said anything.Then she put her phone down.“I heard about the little thing you are doing.”I stopped walking.My tiredness almost disappeared be

Chapter FiftyVeyra’s POVI woke up earlier than usual the next morning, but instead of getting out of bed immediately, I stayed there for a few minutes and stared at the ceiling while thinking about everything Cairos had said to me the night before.He was right about Zuri.I had spent so much time trying to protect her that I had forgotten something simple, which was that protecting her did not mean keeping her away from everything, and it certainly did not mean allowing other people to become more important in her life simply because I was always busy.She was my daughter.I needed to act like her mother again, not only when she was in danger, but in the small parts of her everyday life too.I finally got out of bed, took a shower, and changed before going downstairs.I expected Zuri to still be asleep, but when I entered the dining room, I found her already sitting at the table with her breakfast in front of her.She looked up immediately.“Mum!”I smiled.“You are awake early.”“
