I went through the security layers—password, fingerprint, and retina scan—to access the application's dashboard. I then typed out a few quick commands and hit confirm. "Did you honestly believe I've just been playing housewife for the last seven years, Edoardo?" Edoardo furrowed his brow as I tossed my phone back into my handbag. A minute later, the intercom suddenly rang, and the Consigliere's voice came through, shrill with panic. "There's a problem, Don Ariani! 37 of our offshore accounts have been frozen—we're completely cut off from the funds!"

The screen didn't go black. But the green phosphor text vanished instantly, replaced by a single, clean window of high-contrast white that had no directory trees, no file paths, and no signatures from 2001. A single line of text ran across the center of the display, the letters large, sharp, and perfectly legible under the crimson glare of the ceiling light: LOCAL CORE ZEROED. TERMINAL PURGED. Sophia stopped by the landing. Her face didn't break into an expression of anger, but her hands tightened inside her pockets until the gray wool of her trench coat tore at the seam with a short, sharp rip that sounded like a dry branch snapping in the wind.

He closed the door behind him carefully. "Give me the brief, Gerald," I said, my voice dropping in a flat tone. "Marcus just called from Manhattan, sir," Gerald said, adjusting his earpiece. "Satellite server breach. Not a random hack. Tokyo Holdings is querying our archives." My jaw tightened. A sharp pain shot up my temple. "Which partition?" I growled. "Seven-year archive," Gerald reported, his voice crisp and military. "Target files: Sterling family assets." A cold, lethal fury settled deep into my marrow. Seven years ago. There were some secrets that should have stayed buried forever.

There was no one there at all. "This is impossible! How can this be?!" His trembling fingers swiped across the screen, only to find every file related to Rosalia had turned to garbled codes. In his phone's gallery, thousands of photos with her disappeared one by one until nothing remained. At some point, Melody appeared beside him and timidly gave him a cup of warm water. "Jared, are you getting too tired?" He glanced at her, an unexplainable irritation rising in his chest. Then, like a flash, an image seared through his mind—Melody conspiring with his two most trusted men.

The siren echoed through the underground tunnel. Loud. Relentless. Terrifying. WOOOOOOO… WOOOOOOO… WOOOOOOO… Nobody moved. Nobody spoke either. Because something about that sound felt wrong. Very wrong. Elliot stared at his tablet. Then looked again. Then looked a third time. “No.” Victor immediately turned. “What now?” Elliot looked pale. Really pale. “The facility is activating Protocol Zero.” He said.

I snatched it from him and tore the seal off. The number ‘seven’ was drawn with a pencil. A small hand written note below it. “Don't forget the deal. No harm should be done to anyone,” I squeezed the paper and tossed it. Seven seemed too far away though it was about three hours away. “Tell the wolves to be ready. We match at my command,” ********* PENELOPE'S POV

“They didn’t destroy the prototypes. They stored them.” “And fed on them,” a new voice said behind them. Evryn spun. Someone had joined them on the lift. A tall, pale figure in a technician’s coat, eyes glowing with a dull amber light. But it wasn’t human. Not anymore. “I’m Iteration 07. They left me awake,” it said. Evryn narrowed her eyes. “Why?” “Because I remembered too much,” 07 said quietly. “And now, so will you.” Suddenly, the lift jerked to a stop. The platform doors slid open, revealing a spherical chamber filled with floating data glyphs, all spiraling around a monolithic core. It pulsed slowly, like a sleeping heart.

Then Valez, through him, two seconds late and perfectly cold: "Room seven."
