Outside, everything was ice and frost Dorian’s version of safe. He had wanted her out of the city while the heat cooled. A dozen news cycles had passed since the trial, since the last arrest. But silence, she learned, was never safe; it was an echo chamber. She walked back to the desk. Highlighted the whole paragraph. Cut it. Typed again. “This book is not a confession. It is a record. Of power, of violence, of velvet and blood. And of the people who lived inside it some survived. Some did not.”

But off. I stopped just inside the door, my eyes scanning the room. Everything looked the same. Furniture untouched. Lights exactly how I left them. But something was wrong. “Stay here,” I said. My security team moved immediately, sweeping the place. I didn’t move from the entrance. Didn’t relax. Didn’t assume anything. Two minutes later— “All clear.” I walked in slowly anyway. “All clear doesn’t mean safe,” I said. “Yes, sir.” I moved toward the bar, pouring a drink but not touching it.

Hiding. The room went still. Zaria stared at him, shock flickering across her pale face. And it hit him too, what he had done. The odd action took him by surprise. His fingers flexed once like he had touched fire and he immediately pulled away. His face hardened, colder than before, but something unreadable flickered deep in his eyes remembering her injury.

Hawthorne’s way of showing his courage to his enemy. "Tell Dominic that Kinsley Hawthorne is here," Mr. Hawthorne said authoritatively. The men exchanged glances briefly, then one of them nodded and walked into the lobby. Jasmine stayed close to Mr. Hawthorne, while Theodore remained vigilant, observing their surroundings. A few minutes later, the man who had spoken with the receptionist returned to Mr. Hawthorne. "Mr. Merrick is waiting in his office. Follow me." The man led them to the elevator, followed by Mr. Hawthorne, Jasmine, and Theodore. As the elevator doors closed, Jasmine felt uneasy.

Before he even asks for the water, he will be dead, and lucky Nicole will live. Easy right? As every other guest would do, Alessio doesn't knock and rather invites himself in. I hear him locking the door behind him and with a last silent prayer, I hastily turn around, my gun aligned between his eyes while my dagger stuck above my head. Ask me why I can't move. My target also has his gun pointed at me and he can't proceed either. It's like time just stopped and the only thing we could do is stare at each other. Black eyes versus grey.

I'm still tired even though I've been lying in bed all day. Darkness was already blooming outside when I suddenly remembered something. Now he and Rustov are leaving. A runaway tear streamed down my cheek which I immediately wiped away. I got up and got dressed. For the last time, I will try it. For the last time, I will risk all I have, even my pride. I don't want to have any regrets when it comes to him. "Ma'am, where are you going?" asked a policeman guarding the mansion. "I'm just fast," I told him and went to our SUV. I never called Kuya Edu again because I can drive.

“Lydia—” “So when I speak,” she continues, “there’s nothing left to hide behind.” I understand then. She isn’t just testifying. She’s detonating the story. “Are you ready?” she asks. I look out over the city, lights flickering like warning signals. “No,” I say truthfully. Then, without hesitation: “But I’m with you.” The call ends. Outside, thunder rolls over London, low and inevitable. And somewhere between exposure and reckoning, I realize the most dangerous thing in this war isn’t Julian Kerr, or Ethan Cross, or even the truth itself.
