ANIYA’S POVThe moment I saw the black vehicles approaching, every instinct in me screamed to run.My grandfather didn’t hesitate.“Get in the car!”KC grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the SUV.My father climbed in beside me while Corbin and Ethan took the other side.The moment everyone was inside, Ethan accelerated.Gunshots rang out behind us.I ducked instinctively.“Are they shooting at us?” I asked.“Yes,” KC answered calmly.“How can you be so calm?”“Because panicking won’t help us.”Another gunshot struck the back of the vehicle.I screamed.KC immediately pulled me against him.“Stay down.”My grandfather sat in the front passenger seat, completely composed.“Take the old highway,” he told Ethan.“That road is abandoned.”“Exactly.”Ethan turned sharply.The SUV sped away from the main road and onto a narrow path surrounded by trees.After several minutes, the gunshots disappeared.I slowly lifted my head.“Did we lose them?”“For now,” Ethan said.I looked at my grandfa

ANIYA’S POVI couldn’t take my eyes off KC.The message on my phone was still open.Now ask KC what happened to Corbin.My fingers trembled.“What happened to Corbin?”KC didn’t answer immediately.The silence was enough to make my heart sink.“KC.”He looked away.“I didn’t hurt him.”“That wasn’t my question.”“I know.”“Then answer me.”My voice came out sharper than I intended.“What happened to Corbin?”KC finally looked at me.“He stayed behind.”“Why?”“Because he wanted to.”I frowned.“That doesn’t make sense.”“He told me to take you and leave.”I stared at him.“Why would he do that?”“Because he knew they were coming.”My stomach tightened.“You’re saying Corbin knew?”“Yes.”“Before we entered the vault?”KC nodded.“How?”“I don’t know.”I stared at him.“You’re lying.”His expression hardened.“I’ve never lied to you about how I feel about you.”“But you’ve lied about everything else.”He flinched.I immediately regretted the words, but I couldn’t take them back.“I tru

ANIYA’S POVI read Maya’s message again.She was never supposed to survive.My heart stopped.I stared at the screen, waiting for another message.Nothing came.“Maya,” I whispered.I immediately called her back.No answer.I called again.Still nothing.“What’s wrong?” KC asked.I handed him my phone.He read the message.His expression changed.“We’re going now.”I nodded.My mind was racing.A daughter.My daughter.How could I have a child and not know about her?And why would Corbin hide her from me?I looked at my father.“Did you know?”He shook his head.“No.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”My mother looked devastated.“I didn’t know either.”I turned toward my grandfather.“Do you know?”He was silent.“Grandfather.”He finally looked at me.“I suspected.”My heart sank.“You suspected I had a child?”“I suspected Corbin had been hiding something.”“Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because I had no proof.”I shook my head.“I need the truth.”“You will get it.”“When?”“When we find her.”K

ANIYA’S POV I stared at the key in my palm. A black rose was engraved into its surface. My grandfather had called it the Harlow vault. My mother had spent twenty-eight years hiding it. And now she was gone. “Where is she?” I asked. My father was already checking the tunnel. “She couldn’t have gone far.” KC moved beside me. “Ethan, check the other exit.” Ethan nodded and disappeared into the darkness. I looked at my grandfather. “You knew about this vault.” He sighed. “Yes.” “And you never told me?” “I was trying to protect you.” I laughed bitterly. “Everyone keeps saying that.” My voice cracked. “You were protecting me. My father was protecting me. Corbin was protecting me. My mother was protecting me. Yet somehow, I am the person who knows the least about my own life.” Grandfather looked away.

ANIYA’S POV I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even breathe. I stared at my mother. “Lily has another father?” She nodded slowly. My eyes moved to the little girl beside me. Lily was holding my hand, completely unaware of the storm happening around her. I looked at my father. He wouldn’t meet my eyes. “Dad?” Nothing. “Dad, look at me.” He finally did.
