I can protect Ann. "Why do you think these old people arrange marriages between families? A union between two strong Mafia families makes both families stronger and less likely to be targeted by rivals. But getting involved with a total stranger who doesn't even know how our world works, what we do, or how we do it is dangerous.

Rachel grimaced, she looked at Nicholas with an annoyed look. "We accidentally bumped into each other, how about you? What are you doing here?" she asked trying to sound cheerful. Nicholas looked at her and Trey alternately, "Accidentally bumped into each other? What is that supposed to mean?" he muttered with one eyebrow raised high. Trey cleared his throat softly, "I'd better get back to the office, Rachel thanks for your time!" he said as he rose to his feet, he nodded once to Nicholas and then left the two of them hurriedly, he knew something bad might going to happen.

As soon as I noticed that he had moved a great distance from me, I pulled out my phone and made a call. “Hey Thane.” Yes, it's the same Thane, Ethan's personal bodyguard. “We need to hurry up with our plans now. The most important thing now is to keep Kyle somewhere and get our hands on his journal….. yes, Andy ratted out to me that he has a journal… I also don't know what it looks like but we have to find it.”

"Fair enough. Just don’t disappoint me again, little brother." Ezra shot him a cold look before rising from his seat. Without another word, he turned and strode out of the room, his mind already working through every possible scenario. That night, under the cover of darkness, Ezra met with Mia’s hired assassins—a pair of shadowy figures known only as Sable and Kain. This time, Kain wasn’t alone. His partner, Kerah, stood beside him, her piercing gaze flickering with amusement as she leaned casually against a car parked in the alleyway.

But he was Macie's boyfriend, and that made everything wrong. Even if Macie treated him like a backup boyfriend and even if he said they didn't interfere with each other, as long as Macie and I were friends, liking him felt wrong. Macie's text buzzed in, interrupting the moment: [Wendy, I have to leave early. I won't be back tonight. Have Henry take you home.] Of course, today was a Friday. Macie had one of her mysterious cosplay events. I sighed, knowing this was a mess I could not escape from easily.

“We are walking a dangerous path.” “So is she,” I shot back. “Let’s hit her where it hurts, Adam.

The forest is fair judge, fair enemy, fair witness.” At that, a ripple of excitement coursed through the crowd. Cheers burst out, feet stomping and hands clapping, the sound rolling like thunder across the square. My stomach twisted. Allies maybe chosen? That meant Darren and Elara. That meant Marv.

Beatrice sat upright, hands folded neatly in her lap, her expression composed in the way it became when she was preparing to say something that could not be softened. “You’ve seen the witness list,” Beatrice said. “Yes,” Lillian replied. “And you’ve begun outreach,” Beatrice continued. “Yes.” Beatrice nodded once. “Then it’s time I tell you something I did not tell you before.” Lillian did not interrupt. Beatrice held her gaze steadily. “Some of the truths you are about to uncover will wound allies.” The word landed cleanly. Allies. Not enemies. Not rivals. Not faceless institutions.
