I breathed, trying to regain my composure from our heated make out session. “What the fuck happened? I’ve been trying to get a hold of you.” Alice growled, anger lacing her words. “Mic went dead for a moment. Need to get a new one.” I said as I ran out from behind my cover, shooting every Russian I could see. “Again, huh?” Alice said, a hint of playfulness in her voice. “That’s the fifth mic this month.” Romano chimed in. “Weird.” He said mischievously.

“The attack was a success. Marcus Thorne’s systems are in chaos. International fraud alerts have been triggered. His reputation is already starting to fall apart.” At the same time, my own tablet, which was connected to the news feeds, began to buzz with alerts. The first reports were coming in from New York. An explosion at a warehouse owned by Rico Valenti. A shooting at a known Valenti restaurant. The war had officially begun. We had won. Our enemies were at each other’s throats, and Bianchi’s financial empire was starting to crumble. But just as a small, grim sense of victory began to settle in, the doors to the study opened. Lucian stood there, his face pale and serious.

Mike's eyes opened, weary. "Echo's power...it's changing me." I knelt beside him. "We'll figure it out, Mike." Anderson nodded. "Together." Suddenly, Maya's voice turned urgent. "We have a problem.

But her cries fall on deaf ears as the giant slams into her without any preparation bounding into her with enough force to split her in two. Thankfully the screen fades to black. Turning, I see Micah's expression matches my own. McAllister dies. No exceptions.

I watched the storm unfold from my penthouse, drink in hand, as reports of the fund’s collapse flooded the screen. My phone buzzed. It was Marcus. “He’s bleeding,” he said. “Two best friends down. You want to go for the third?” I stood by the window, staring at the skyline. “Not yet,” I said. “Let him feel this.” Because this wasn’t just revenge.

“You’re cute when you’re annoyed.” I playfully smacked his arm. “You’re shameless.” “Only around you.” I laughed, but the laughter caught in my throat when I turned around and saw Brent standing just by the doorway. He didn’t speak. Just turned and walked away again. --- That night, Mica and I were filing last-minute reports when she nudged me. “Did you know Mr. Montenegro has CCTV access to every executive department? He checks footage regularly.” My eyes widened. “Why?”

"Next, we have a breaking news on a murder case that occurred last night. At 1 am, a murder occurred on Northern Road. The police have cordoned off the scene and are still investigating the details of the case. We also urge the public to contact the police promptly if they have any relevant information." As a first-tier city with a population of over ten million, Fairfield sees people come and go every day, and many people die quietly. Therefore, compared to an unrelated murder case, most people naturally prefer to pay attention to yesterday’s explosion case. Not only because the explosion case involved the prestigious Lopez family in Fairfield, but more importantly, Lucas was seriously inju

Dean Halloway is sitting across from me, looking like a woman who has spent the last forty-eight hours trying to save a sinking ship.

Malcolm just got knee deep in the mess of the first site. He was speaking with the site manager and supervisor. Seeing the damage to himself when the call came through. The call he feared to get. The call he’d done everything possible to avoid. They had attacked Melody in broad daylight. An attempted kidnapping of his mate. Her security team could prevent it, but that wasn’t the point.
