The twin tried to pull his hand back instinctively. He couldn’t. Kyle’s grip tightened slowly around his wrist. CRACK! The sound echoed sharply through the room. The twin’s expression finally changed for the first time as pain flashed across his face. “What—” Kyle twisted his arm violently and flung him across the room. BOOM! The man crashed through a glass table before rolling across the marble floor. Silence. Absolute silence filled the mansion. Even Kelly’s breathing stopped for a moment. Frank’s eyes narrowed immediately. The second twin reacted instantly. He moved like lightning. BAM! A kick flew toward Kyle’s skull. Kyle blocked it with one arm. The impact shook the air around them, but Kyle didn’t move an inch this time. The dark glow inside his eyes flickered again. Stronger and more dangerous. The second twin immediately sensed it. His expression hardened. Kyle slowly turned his neck toward him. “You hit hard,” Kyle muttered. The

The red emergency lights painted the entire mansion in a terrifying crimson glow. WHOOOOP! WHOOOOP! The alarm continued screaming through every corner of the building. Kelly’s hands shook violently as she looked around. Steel doors had completely sealed every exit. Even the windows were covered by thick metal shutters now. “What the hell is going on?” she whispered fearfully. Frank calmly adjusted the sleeve of his torn suit. “You ask too many questions,” he replied. Kyle’s dark eyes remained locked on him. He let out a chuckle. "You really think you can stop me after everything you have just witnessed?" Frank laughed. "I am not scared of you, Kyle. Your father was more powerful than what you are and he is dead. What makes you think you are above him?" Kyle flashed his eyes again. Anger surged inside of him. He clenched his hand so tightly that his nails tore through his flesh. "I am not my father!" he barked. Frank laughed again. He looked at Kyle, "

The car screeched forward, tires biting into the glowing lattice like it was burning rubber into glass. Adrian staggered back a step—but only a step. Then he straightened. His eyes narrowed as the hood of the vehicle dented slightly under his grip. The entire frame trembled as the mansion’s systems reacted to the unauthorized movement. “Still trying to run,” Adrian said coldly. “Even now.” Inside the car, Clark’s hands were already moving. “No… no, no, no,” he muttered rapidly. “The grid’s re-sealing the perimeter. If we stay in motion, it’s going to lock us into a feedback loop.” Kelly turned toward the backseat where Kyle lay slumped against the cracked door frame. “Kyle!” she shouted. “Get up!” Kyle didn’t respond immediately. His body was still half-lit—faint traces of the glowing lattice patterns flickering beneath his skin like dying embers. His breathing was uneven, each inhale heavier than the last, as though the system Frank activated was still echoing inside him.

Kelly moved towards Kyle gently; her gaze fell on his wound. She drew his face closer. And for a moment, Kyle felt at peace. He felt at peace not because of everything, but because of her gentle touch. Her lips slowly fell on his, and in that moment, time froze. They both kissed passionately without holding back. After a while, Kelly withdrew from him. "So do you still think I am kidding?" she asked.Kyle smiled. "Sorry if I had been too harsh on you. I have..." "You don't need to explain what you went through, Kyle. I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes," Kelly replied.Kyle looked at her for a while. "I am happy you came with us." he said "Yeah. Me too." The two held hands and walked into the mansion forgetting they had a lot to overcome as a couple. **********The following day came with many paparazzi. Zack was back to school, and Belinda's supposed boyfriend was now attending the same school as the rest of them."Are you ready to do this?" Kelly looked a

The whole school stood still trying to understand what was going on between the half brothers. "Don't tell me you are too scared to throw a punch? You were eager too, the last time we fought." Adrian said with a jest. But then, Klaus walked into their midst. His gaze landed on Kyle before shifting towards Adrian. "I bet you two think you run the show around here." he said with a snicker. Most of the girls were taken in with the way Klaus talked and how stylish he was. "Can't believe Belinda would stoop so low for someone like you." Kyle's eyes darted towards Klaus and he laughed. "I am not here to pick up a fight with either of you. I am here to study and the last thing I want right now is getting engaged in a baby fight." Klaus's eye flashes with anger. His muscles flexed slightly. "Baby fight? Did you just call me a baby?" Adrian laughed. "He was not referring to you when he called us baby. This is a family fight, Klaus. You don't need to get yourself involved. Why don
