“But I know who you are: younger sister of Evangeline Cross, an ER nurse, missing for the past three weeks.” "Who are you?” Emma’s heart dropped. “Someone who appreciates the beauty of hidden things,” he said with a soft smile. “And someone who’s curious what it is you think you saw at that gala.” She said nothing. He didn’t need her to. “I saw the footage,” he added quietly. “Most of it’s corrupted, of course. Signal interference, scrambled visuals. But a few frames got through, enough to make the right people ask questions.” "Why are you telling me this?” Emma turned sharply to him.

I want to hear everything. Then I opened my laptop, cursor blinking against the white screen, and started a new document. The title came easily this time. “Crossing the Line: When Love and Ambition Learn to Breathe Together.” I wrote the first line slowly, smiling to myself. Some stories don’t end when you close the chapter. They just learn how to keep going.

Alexander The whiskey burned going down, but it did nothing to quiet the voices in my head. I sat in my study at 3 AM, staring at the file spread across my desk. Emily's file. Every detail of her life mapped out like a battle plan. But battles weren't supposed to feel like this. I picked up the photo Vincent had taken six months ago - Emily leaving the hospital with Violet in her arms, both of them crying. Perfect. Vulnerable. Exactly what the arrangement required.

Moving across Corridor B. Fast. Clean. Efficient. Emily stepped closer to the screen. Her breath stopped. That movement… She recognized it. “No way…” Adrian noticed her reaction. “What?” Emily’s voice dropped to a whisper. “That’s not just anyone…” The shadow stopped. For one second. Just one. Then— It turned slightly toward the camera. And even though the face wasn’t fully visible… Emily knew. Her body went cold. “Marcus.” The name didn’t echo this time. It fell.

After hanging up, I ignored the nurse and left the hospital. I couldn’t let my parents be bullied like this. Back at the villa, my parents leaned on each other, struggling to stand at the doorway. From the living room came the unmistakable sounds of Seraphina and Alaric’s lovemaking. … I kicked the door open. The two of them scrambled up, clutching at their clothes to cover themselves.

The guards moved swiftly through the maze-like corridors. Suddenly, three masked men emerged from the shadows. Without hesitation, they opened fire. Bang! Bang! Bang!

Alexander didn't stop moving. His only thought was Emily. --- Back inside the room... Emily couldn't take her eyes off Evelyn. "So... where have you been all these years?" Evelyn lowered her gaze.

Roman POV The crackling of the fire seemed to weave a rhythm into the night, a cadence that matched the beating of our determined hearts. I watched as Emily's gaze remained fixed on the flames, her thoughts a whirlwind of emotions and determination. Her journey had become a personal quest, a mission that transcended the boundaries of her grief and pushed her into the realm of relentless pursuit.
