Chapter eleven

Chapter 11Lumiere's POV The ceiling above me wasn't timber or plaster. It was reinforced smart-glass, glowing faintly with a steady blue pulse from the system monitors.When I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed wasn't the warmth of the thick duvet. It was the cold against my cheeks.I sat up quickly, only to gasp when a sharp pain shot through my right wrist. I'd scraped it against the ice hours ago.This wasn't my apartment.It wasn't even the temporary suite from before.I pushed the covers aside and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. My bare feet sank into the thick rug beneath me, soft as moss.The room was spacious and almost unnervingly modern, with little furniture to break up the open space. Floor-to-ceiling windows curved along the entire wall, overlooking the Turku Archipelago.Beyond the glass, the Baltic Sea lay frozen beneath a bruised grey sky. Jagged sheets of ice covered the water, disappearing into the distance as the weak morning sun struggled t

Chapter twelve

Chapter 12Lumiere's POV The heavy obsidian door clicked shut behind him with a soft hiss, sealing us inside the Turku fortress.For a moment, neither of us spoke.The silence felt suffocating. The only sound came from the low hum of the environmental regulators fighting the freezing air outside.Mikael didn't hurry.He crossed the minimalist suite with an unsettling calm.In his right hand, he carried a silver tray covered with a linen napkin. The warm scent of roasted garlic, rosemary, and seared venison filled the room.He placed it on the glass desk beside the glowing holographic terminal—the same one that had shown me how easily the remnants of my old life could be erased just hours ago.I stared at the tray.Food.As if a warm meal could make any of this feel normal.My pulse raced as I stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows, my fingers twisting into the oversized cashmere sweater I'd pulled from the wardrobe.“You haven't eaten since yesterday morning,” Mikael said.His voice

Chapter thirteen

Chapter 13Lumiere's POV The sharp, distorted echo of that single voice through the terminal speakers still lingered in my mind.“Tell the syndicate boss his bride’s true family has finally come home.”Mikael had vanished from the room almost immediately, his tactical instincts taking over as he locked down the sector and mobilized the perimeter guards. He hadn't looked back at me before the heavy door hissed shut, leaving me alone in the minimalist suite as the red emergency lights cast a harsh glow across the smart-glass windows.The silence that followed felt heavy.I couldn't stay there.Without thinking, I turned and hurried toward the en-suite bathroom, the thick wool of my oversized sweater catching slightly on the doorframe as I slipped inside.The bathroom was a sanctuary of cold white marble and brushed chrome, illuminated by soft recessed lighting that felt stark against the gloom of the suite.I locked the heavy glass door behind me with a sharp click, needing at least a

Chapter fourteen

Chapter 14Lumiere's POV He held out his hand toward me, his expression calm.“My name is Jalo Pyorala.”The name hit me a second later.Jalo Pyorala.Mikael’s advisor.The quiet man who handled his business, his paperwork, and everything else Mikael didn't want the rest of the world to see.He was standing in front of me.And he was my family.Or at least, he claimed to be.I stared at him, unable to make sense of what I was hearing.Before I could ask a single question, heavy footsteps sounded from the main suite.Mikael appeared behind Jalo.His expression changed the moment he saw him.His ice-grey eyes hardened.“Jalo.”His voice was quiet, but the warning in it was unmistakable.“You crossed a line.”Jalo didn't look worried.He simply adjusted his glasses and glanced at Mikael.“The girl needed to know the truth,” he said. “You can lock her in a glass box, force her to sign a contract, and surround this fortress with guards. But blood always finds a way through.”My stomach tw

Chapter fifteen

Chapter 15Lumiere's POV The darkness in the underground corridor was complete.When the lights went out, the sudden silence felt almost as frightening as the alarm. I stood frozen against the cold concrete wall, my fingers trembling as the sound of my own breathing filled my ears. The master alarm blared somewhere above us, its noise shaking through the metal walls and straight into my chest.A rough hand closed around my wrist.I gasped and instinctively pulled back, but the grip was firm.“Stay close,” Mikael said quietly beside me.He didn't wait for an answer.He pulled me forward through the darkness, moving as if he knew the corridors by heart. I wanted to fight him. I wanted to pull my hand free and run in the opposite direction.But Jalo's words came back to me.A firing squad.The thought stopped me.The darkness outside was no longer an escape.It was a trap.We made our way through the emergency stairwells, following the faint red lights along the walls. We climbed higher

Chapter sixteen

Chapter 16Lumiere's POV The heavy obsidian door of my suite clicked open without warning. A cold draft drifted in, carrying the faint scent of pipe tobacco and rain. I didn't turn around right away. I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, staring at the grey waves of the Baltic Sea crashing against the dark stone of the island fortress. My fingers were still wrapped around the heavy black thick sweater Talvikki had left me.Footsteps crossed the thick rug behind me. They weren't Mikael's heavy steps or Talvikki's sharp, steady ones. These footsteps were quiet, deliberate, and unhurried.“You should put on something warmer if you plan on surviving the halls downstairs, little niece,” a calm voice said behind me.I spun around.Jalo Pyorala stood near the center of the minimalist suite. He had taken off his grey wool suit jacket, leaving him in a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. His wire-rimmed glasses caught the amber glow of the emergency lights. H

Chapter seventeen

Chapter 17Lumiere's POV The open ledger sat on the glass desk like a tombstone, its leather cover hiding a decade of lies, stolen money, and the betrayal of a man I had only just learned to call my uncle.Mikael had stopped a few feet away from me. His ice-grey eyes followed the quick rise and fall of my chest, but I couldn't bring myself to look at him.My mind was spinning. I was caught between the simple life I had known as a baker and the frightening truth about the bloodline waiting to pull me in.He didn't say anything about Jalo leaving. He didn't force me back toward the bed. He simply stood there until the silence became too much to bear.Then he turned and walked out without a word.Hours later, the suite was filled with the pale blue light of an early Nordic morning.I stood against the cold smart-glass window, my forehead resting against the surface as my breath fogged the glass. Outside, everything was white. The storm had passed during the night, leaving thick layers o

Chapter eighteen

Chapter 18Lumiere's POV The red laser dot hovered on the snow just in front of my boots, bright against the white ground. My heart pounded so hard it hurt. I looked up at the stone balcony where Mikael stood, the wind pulling at his dark coat.He hadn't ordered the guard to shoot.He didn't need to.The warning in his ice-grey eyes was enough.He pointed toward the snow near my feet, and then I heard it—a faint cracking sound beneath the frozen surface.Black ice.A deep gap hidden under the snow, with freezing water waiting below.I slowly took a step back, my boots slipping slightly on the crust. Mikael remained on the balcony, his eyes fixed on mine. There was something heavy in his expression, something that almost made me stop.But then the guard on the ridge shifted his rifle.I turned and ran.I didn't head toward the cliffs or the main gate. Instead, I moved sideways along the rocky shoreline, keeping close to the boulders so they would block the guards' view. The cold air b

Chapter nineteen

POV: MikaelThe red warning light on the master console in the war room blinked steadily.I stared at the security monitor mounted on the dark stone wall, gripping the edge of the metal desk. On camera three, sector nine, a black utility snowmobile sped away from the lower docks.The rider wasn't one of my patrol guards.Lumiere.She had actually done it. While the station was still dealing with the security breach at the outer gates and Jalo’s betrayal, she had slipped out of the residential wing, found a master keycard, and driven straight onto the frozen Baltic Sea.A tight knot formed in my chest.I was angry at her recklessness, but fear was stronger. She didn't know these waters. She didn't know the recent storms had cracked the ice far from the coast, leaving dangerous patches of black water hidden beneath the snow.If she kept driving that fast, she wouldn't find freedom.She would put herself in serious danger."Sir," Talvikki said from the doorway. "The perimeter sensors pic

Chapter twenty

Chapter 20Mikael's POV The distant boom of the explosion rolled across the frozen bay, shaking the ice beneath our feet and sending another wave of panic through the howling wind. Thick black smoke rose into the grey sky from the direction of the fortress, marking the moment the perimeter defenses had failed.Jalo stood several yards away on the snow, holding the wax-sealed envelope in his gloved hand. He looked far too calm for someone who had just helped set a war in motion."The siege has started, Mikael," Jalo shouted over the wind, his voice carrying a dangerous edge. "You can't protect her out here, and you can't lock her away up there. The Varis bloodline is coming home, whether you sign the papers or not!"My grip on Lumiere’s handlebars tightened.Every protective instinct I had built over ten years in the underworld kicked in. I wasn't going to let Jalo hand her over to the Corsicans. I wasn't going to let her become a pawn in a war she never asked to be part of.Before Ja
