“Are you sure you want to do this?” Carl asked again.Andrea took a deep breath. She had been asking herself that question for hours, but now there was no turning back.She needed to finish this with Helena. And it wouldn’t end while even one of them—any of her enemies—remained alive.And more importantly, she had to save her cousin.“Yes. I’m sure, Carl. You can’t stop me,” she said firmly.Carl exhaled, a mix of tension and resignation in his breath. “I won’t, Andrea. I’m just worried about your safety.”Andrea looked directly into his eyes. “I’ll be fine. And I know I’ve got you.”A faint, tight-lipped smile crossed Carl’s face. “Of course. I won’t let you get hurt.”Andrea allowed herself a small smile in return, a brief calm before the storm.Moments later, they were on the move, traveling toward the target location.Carl’s voice came through the earpiece, steady and precise. “Gamma team, report your position.”A brief pause, then the voice of a team leader crackled back. “We’re

Andrea took a deliberate step forward, her boots echoing softly against the concrete. Helena’s eyes narrowed, tracking every move. The operatives shifted uneasily behind their leader, sensing the tension but unsure who would act first.Carl moved alongside Andrea, silent and lethal, his presence a steady anchor. “Stay close,” he whispered, eyes scanning for any sudden attack.Helena clapped slowly, mockingly. “Impressive… you really think you can walk in here and dictate terms?”Andrea’s gaze never wavered. “I’m not negotiating. Release her—or I make you regret it.”A single smirk crept across Helena’s face. “Regret? My dear, you’re still so naïve. You think this is just about your cousin? It’s bigger than that. It’s about power. Control.”Andrea’s voice dropped, steady and cold. “And I am the rightful queen of this kingdom. You want to control Brightskia? You’ll have to go through me.”At that moment, one of Helena’s operatives lunged at Carl with a knife. Instantly, Carl disarmed hi

“You surprised me.”Andrea blinked at the sound of Carl’s voice. She had been about to remove her jacket but paused, straightened herself, and turned to face him.“Carl… I… I didn’t expect you here.”Her eyes scanned the room. They were still at the base; it was late, so they had decided to stay there for the night. Elara, still in shock, sat quietly, too stunned to speak.Carl finally stepped fully into the room.“Sorry. I wanted to talk with you.”Andrea furrowed her brow.“About what?”A wave of nervousness hit her. She remembered again the thought of him leaving. She turned away slightly, waiting for what he had to say.“I just want to congratulate you for earlier. You did it. You finally stopped Helena. You saved your cousin.”Andrea let his words sink in. Relief washed over her slightly—he wasn’t here to say goodbye.“I wouldn’t have been able to do that if not for you,” she said softly. Slowly, she turned to face him. “You gave me strength, Carl.”Carl scratched the back of his

After everything was settled, Andrea returned to the palace.She insisted that Elara stay there until she fully recovered. The palace doctors monitored her condition closely, and Andrea made sure her cousin was never left alone.Meanwhile, Carl began preparing for his departure.He sat on the edge of his bed, staring at his cellphone. Up until now, he still hadn’t spoken to Sophia. He didn’t even know how to begin explaining himself. He had ignored her calls for months.For sure, she was furious.Carl drew in a deep breath.“I can do this.”He was the leader of special operations. A man trained for high-risk missions. Enhanced abilities, tactical genius—and yet here he was, hesitating because of one woman.Pathetic.He grabbed his phone and opened it with his eyes half-closed, as if bracing himself for impact.Less than a minute later, it rang.He nearly dropped it from shock.Steadying his grip, he inhaled once more before answering.“Hell—”“Wow. So you’re still alive, huh?” Sophia’

Silence swallowed the interior of the car.The tension was thick—almost suffocating.Carl occasionally glanced at Sophia through the rearview mirror. She hadn’t said a single word since they left the airport. She sat in the backseat, facing the window, her reflection faint against the city lights passing by.In the passenger seat, Jessa was quietly speaking on the phone, her tone professional and composed.Carl cleared his throat.“Uh… how’s Velmora now, Sophia? Is the district project finished?” he asked, attempting to lighten the atmosphere.He forced a casual tone, even though the tension was creeping into his bones.As expected, Sophia didn’t answer. She didn’t even look at him. She simply kept staring out the window, her expression unreadable.Carl exhaled slowly.He needed to explain himself properly. He hadn’t replaced her. He hadn’t betrayed her. He just had responsibilities—missions he couldn’t disclose.Since Sophia refused to engage, he turned to Jessa after she ended her c

The palace was already awake before sunrise.Andrea stood in front of the tall mirror inside her private chambers, her expression calm—but her thoughts anything but.Glenda adjusted the structured cream blazer over Andrea’s shoulders. “The Carson Group delegation will arrive at nine, Your Majesty.”Andrea nodded. “Security?”“Tightened. Background checks cleared. Though…” Glenda hesitated slightly. “Their CEO’s daughter arrived in Brightskia last night.”Andrea’s brows lifted faintly. “Unexpected?”“Yes.”Andrea turned away from the mirror and walked toward the window overlooking the capital. “Unexpected guests have become a pattern lately.”She didn’t know just how true that was.—At exactly eight o’clock, Carl’s car stopped in front of the hotel.He had barely slept.Sophia stepped out five minutes later, dressed sharply in a tailored navy suit, confidence radiating from every step. Jessa followed, tablet in hand.Carl got out and opened the door for Sophia.She paused before enter

“Thank you for coming all the way here, Ms. Carson. I truly appreciate it,” Andrea said gracefully. “I’ll consult with the council first, then we’ll give you a call tomorrow regarding the final decision.”Sophia gave a restrained smile. She reached out and shook Andrea’s hand firmly.“Thank you, Your Highness. I’m looking forward to working closely with the palace,” she replied smoothly.She released her hand.Andrea tilted her head slightly, as if considering something.“Perhaps… you should stay at the palace while waiting for the council’s decision. What do you think?” she asked lightly.Carl’s eyes widened.What is she doing? Sophia cannot stay here.A sharp wave of panic hit him. If Sophia stayed inside the palace, it wouldn’t take long before she discovered the truth.That he was legally married to the queen.“Ahm… Ms. Carson has already booked a hotel room, Your Highness,” Carl quickly interjected, subtly trying to signal Andrea to let this go.But it seemed Sophia had already c

That strange feeling refused to leave Sophia.Something wasn’t right.She was certain Carl was hiding something from her—and somehow, the queen was involved in whatever secret he was keeping.Meanwhile, Carl was growing increasingly restless.He stepped out of Sophia’s suite, quietly closing the door behind him.Andrea had to be planning something. He could feel it.And if she was—he needed to stop it before things spiraled out of control.Without wasting another second, he headed straight for the queen’s chambers.“Carl,” Andrea greeted the moment she saw him.She was seated beside the tall window, the late afternoon light spilling across the room as she reviewed a stack of documents. The papers rested neatly on the small table beside her.Carl approached her slowly.Before speaking, he paused and bowed his head respectfully.“My Queen.”Andrea set the papers aside and looked at him.“Do you need something?” she asked coolly.Carl felt it immediately—the distance in her tone.“Andrea

By the time the palace clock struck eight, the royal dining hall had already been prepared.A long table stretched across the center of the grand chamber, covered with pristine white linen and set with polished silverware that gleamed beneath the chandelier’s warm light. Tall candles flickered along the table, casting soft shadows against the high marble walls.Everything looked elegant.Peaceful.Deceptively calm.Sophia arrived first.She stepped into the hall with quiet confidence, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her gaze immediately scanned the room—sharp, observant, calculating.A few servants stood by the walls, ready to attend at a moment’s notice.Then she saw Andrea.The queen was already seated at the head of the table, dressed in a simple yet breathtaking evening gown. Nothing overly extravagant—yet the way she carried herself made the entire room feel like it belonged to her.Because it did.Andrea looked up as Sophia approached.“Ms. Carson,” she greeted po

By the time dinner ended, Sophia could no longer sit still.She knew it. She could feel it.The way the queen and her fiancé looked at each other—there was something strange about it. Something hidden. Something that carried meaning beneath the surface.Even the servants had been acting oddly, restraining themselves as if they were holding back from doing something they normally should.“Something isn’t right,” Sophia murmured.She was already back in her room.Jessa paused from typing on her tablet and looked up at her employer.“What is it, Ms. Carson? Is there something in the contract that needs to be adjusted?”Sophia took a deep breath.“Can you check what Carl was really doing here in Brightskia? And how exactly he ended up here?”Jessa frowned in confusion.“What do you mean?”Sophia rolled her eyes and finally turned to face her.“Carl was supposed to go to Armenia. That was his assignment. Then suddenly, I found out he was here in Brightskia instead. Doesn’t that sound stran
