Which was that the young-black girl who was married to the much older, richer Aaron Miller was only after his money. That was partly why she'd moved. She needed a fresh start, in a place where no one knew of her or her past. Lixon Falls was exactly that. It was a small church town where people cared more about gossip amongst its people than that of strangers. So she'd hardly been surprised when no one recognized her on arrival. She'd known right then and there she'd found the perfect place. "Uhm yeah, sorry. I'm Kayla." She'd responded nervously. She'd never quite had many interactions in her life, she'd never had friends and the only boyfriend she'd ever had was her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Except this one was dry. Untouched. A folded note rested on top. Noah unfolded it. The handwriting matched the damaged notebook perfectly. You found the wrong journal. Ava felt the room grow colder. Noah opened the new journal. The first page contained only a single sentence. My name is Adrian Voss, and if Noah Volkov is reading this, then I have already been dead for ten years. The room fell silent. Daniel looked at Noah. “So…” He swallowed hard. “The fifth man finally has a name.”

Chapter 15: The Unwritten Page The morning after the cathedral almost got destroyed the New York sun came up. It was really clear. This felt weird after the crazy stuff that happened the night before. Elena was standing on the balcony of the Vane penthouse. She was not a prisoner or a worker for them. She was a woman who had finally taken control of her own life.

And I actually bought it. I forced a smile, but my eyes burned. "You hid it pretty well. So why tell me today?" Before Jessica could answer, Linda slammed her spoon down on the table. Her voice shook with emotion. "Because I want to see my grandson!" She took a deep breath and lowered her voice, as if trying to reason with me. "Michael, I've been good to you, haven't I? I know you're a good kid. But my grandson has been in hiding for five years, and it breaks my heart."

"If I ever betray Leah, every bit of suffering she has endured will return to me tenfold." ... The auction venue was in chaos. The Alpha heir, Timothy Russell, was curled up on the ground in the fetal position. He looked like a wild, contorted beast. His handsome face was distorted by the intense pain, and blood soaked through his well-tailored suit. "Timothy! What's come over you?" Rochell Lucas's face was pale as she crouched down to help him, but he pushed her away with one swift motion. "Don't touch me!" Timothy did not realise how much fear his shout carried. He clutched his chest tightly, each breath accompanied by the trembling of his clenched teeth.

A failure, a flop and the underdog! Fifteen Seconds. The door to Harold's right opened and a dark, gloomy flash of light escaped from the room and landed at his front. He was curious to what–or whom it was and as he peeked into the dark room, he was yanked into the room and instantly, the door shut. It all happened so quickly and Harold thought for a second that it was a dream. Maybe all of it was, how could he have even made it into Golden Lake University?

Joana found a large blue book one day titled ‘the council of five.’ She didn’t know if it was the right one, but she hoped it would be as she felt her eyes were going to fall out any moment over the countless number of texts she had to read for the past few months before she was able to find this one.

“Mabel, you didn’t.” Mabel lifted her glass. “I did.” Ava blinked once, twice, then took a slow sip of her drink. “Well, would you look at God testing my blood pressure this early in the weekend.” Natasha’s eyes swept the scene—rosé, laughter, aging beauty in motion—and landed on Ava. “You must be Ava St. James. The fifth chapter in Marcus’s ongoing anthology.” Delphine muttered, “And she must be the preface nobody read twice.”

“It’s late. It’s not safe for a girl to go alone. I’ll go with you.” I shook my head quickly. “No, really, it’s okay.” Not wanting her to take pity on me, I turned and hurried away without looking back. Even on the first day of the holidays, the hospital was crowded, but I was the only one alone there. Clutching my registration slip, I searched for the right consultation room. As I passed by a ward, I caught sight of Dawn lying in a hospital bed. Justin stood beside her, carefully watching as a nurse treated her wound, while Dad and Lisa sat at her bedside, feeding her a snack, one bite after another.

It landed in the ash. And wrote, in no one’s handwriting: VOLUME VIII: THE CITY’S HEART. The ground cracked. A red vein pulsed beneath the alley, beneath Brooklyn, beneath Manhattan. The city screamed. To be continued… Chapter 57 Elena Vasquez The city didn’t scream. It inhaled.
