A sly smile stretched across my lips as I made my way to the room that had once been my study—but had been transformed into something… new. When I got in, my gaze trailed to the screen—so wide it took half the space of the wall. It was covered in a white cloth. A ‘Watcher’s Station’, that was what this strange technology was called. Unknown to my dear Kitten’s, every single corner of her room had little Watcher Feeds installed. Its purpose was to ensure every move she made was properly monitored.

"He's trying. It's painful to watch someone try when they've spent their whole life not having to. But it's better than not watching them try." "Yes," I said. "The Watcher document," she said. I hadn't told her yet. I had been waiting for the right moment, which was a habit I was trying to break and hadn't fully broken. "You know," I said. "Fen told me," she said. "In his way, which means he sent three words by message and let me sit with it for a week." She looked at me. "The fourth line. The eyes." She paused.

⁠ "Deat‍h is too c​lean fo‍r him. I want him to watch th​e liquidati‌on of everyth‍ing he stole.⁠" She reached down to her wrist, tapping her smart-watch with her left thum⁠b.

Imogen asked, "Is everything okay?" "Yes, everything's fine," Yasmin replied. "I gave him the watch earlier. He didn't suspect a thing and put it on his wrist." The watch contained a small recording device. If everything went according to plan, they would be able to monitor Ivan's every move. If he engaged in any illegal activities, Yasmin would have the evidence. This was all part of Imogen's strategy. After all, she was a woman who had navigated the business world for decades. Yasmin admired Imogen's brilliance.

"Take care of her. And do it quickly." Without a word, the Watchman rises to his feet and walks in my direction. Keeping my eyes shut, I try to stay calm, sneaking peeks through the slits of my lids as he approaches. He stops only inches away from me and I can smell his earthy, masculine skin. "Don't move her," Zack calls to him, but he doesn't reply.

Some systems defend themselves with alarms. Others defend themselves with locks. The most sophisticated systems— Simply watch. Because observation is often more powerful than resistance. And deep beneath Manhattan, the Guardian was now watching more closely than ever before. Inside the underground control chamber, dozens of monitors displayed Mara Quinn’s position in real time. The small indicator on the map pulsed quietly. Thirty-eight meters from the facility’s outer infrastructure barrier. Closer than any outsider had ever come. Jessica stood near the main console, arms folded tightly.

To be honest, I had seen it so often that it didn't surprise me anymore. Sure enough, Hailey started listing my crimes. "All I did was give him a watch. How dare you threaten him? Apologize to him right now, or I'm going to demote you!" Without waiting for my response, she dialed Jaxon's number and put the call on speaker. I could barely say a word before he started his wounded act. "I'm the one who should apologize, Ms. Miller. I shouldn't have accepted your gift if it was going to make Mr. Chase so mad. I'll return the watch. Please just tell Mr. Chase to stop targeting me at work."

Oliver warned. Raymond look at what he grabed , it was his wristwatch- Philippe Patek . he immediately put it on then sit back trying to calm down. “Don’t you discuss money as though it is something you know anything about? How much do you think Oliver and I made or Lucas spends on his gambling why we are sitting here discussing your pathetic hourly wages?” as he picked up his fountain pen and threw at him. He aimed for the man’s eyes but missed. Lucas went to pick up the pen. “wow. I can probably use this for my gambling” he said jokingly, referring to the Mont Blanc fountain pen.

LUS activated softly in her vision. EVOLUTIONARY VARIANT IDENTIFIED. PROVISIONAL DESIGNATION: WATCHER. THREAT LEVEL: UNDETERMINED. A final line appeared after a brief pause. BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT: OBSERVATION. ADAPTATION. INTEREST. Evelyn stared at the word Interest until it disappeared. Outside, the forest remained dark. The Watcher did not return that night.

Damon’s POV The next night, it was time for the operation. The dealer moved like a shadow through the docks, he was surrounded by armed wolves, Mara and I tracked from the walls of another building. Ryan’s voice crackled through the earpiece, “The main target is now inside the warehouse. There’s no movement yet, but there’s something wrong with the heat monitor installed. It’s not registering any other bodies… quite weird. I can’t get a picture of the inside so maybe you both might have to move to higher ground.”
