Victor Wolfe sat alone in the dimly lit study, the only light coming from a single lamp that cast harsh shadows across the room. The glass of whiskey in his hand caught the glow, amber liquid swirling as he lifted it to his lips again and again. Smoke from the cigarette he held coiled upward, disappearing into the darkness above. He didn’t watch the news. He didn’t need to. He knew the empire was crumbling.

Kade better hurry up on his end, or I’m going to burn this place to the ground with all of them inside. “You? You think you’re going to take down the empire I’ve created? That’s rich, really. Even with all your money, there isn’t anything you can do that Scotland Yard and MI-6 haven’t already tried.

"Power, when bound in gold, corrupts. But when shattered by choice, it transforms. This is how empires fall. And how legends begin" The sun rose slowly over the broken sanctuary, casting long, fractured shadows across the cracked stones and shattered columns. Its light was golden-edged but splintered, peeking through rifts in the sky that still trembled, repairing themselves from the wounds left by the storm. The air was thick with quiet, the kind that settles only after great upheaval.

She had moved past them entirely, her eyes fixed on a horizon that the Blackwood family had never been smart enough to see. Lucian gripped his shovel, his blistered fingers bleeding into the wood as he drove the iron blade deep into the mud. For the first time in his life, he understood the true title of the empire he had lost.
