Chapter 81: The Enemy Within ReachThe underground passage beneath the central palace was dark and damp, with water dripping from cracks in the stone ceiling. Alaric Cross led the way, his face hard with anger as he listened to the distant gunfire shaking the palace above them. Behind him, Raymond and Viktor followed with four loyal guards, their expensive clothes covered in dust and their weapons held tightly in their hands.None of them spoke until they reached the end of the passage, where a narrow iron door opened into an abandoned storage building several streets away from the palace. Alaric had arranged the escape route days earlier, long before Draven had even broken through the wall and the Gate. He had always prepared for the possibility of losing the palace, but he had never imagined being forced to abandon it without defeating the man who had challenged his family.Raymond pushed the door shut behind them and turned toward his brother. “We cannot stay hidden forever, Ala

Chapter 82: The Enemy Within Reach II“Your father and brother are welcome here,” Blac said, appearing behind Natasha. “Whatever Draven has done to your family, he will not find you under my roof unless I choose to let him.” His expression darkened at the mention of Draven, whose arrival had shattered the comfortable life he had built around his control of Alessia and her daughter.Alaric gave him a measured nod. “Your assistance will not be forgotten, Monroe, and neither will the risks you are taking by sheltering us.” He entered the house without waiting for an invitation, already considering how he could turn this temporary refuge into the center of his next evil plot.Once they were inside, the doors were locked and the guards were stationed around the property. Blac led the Cross family into a private study where maps of Crestfall covered one wall, while Natasha ordered food and drinks to be brought in. Viktor barely touched anything placed before him, his attention fixed on t

Chapter 83
Chapter 83: The Return of His FamilyThe palace had never felt so quiet.Draven stood in front of the window watching soldiers move through the courtyard below. The Cross family’s banners had been torn down, their guards disarmed, and their stronghold placed under his control. Yet the victory brought him little satisfaction, because three men who had spent years making enemies of him had vanished without a trace.Alaric Cross, Raymond Cross, and Viktor Cross were missing. Draven had ordered his men to search every room, underground passage, and storage chamber in the palace, but the results remained the same. The Crosses had escaped before his soldiers could close every exit, and until he knew where they had gone, the war could not be considered finished.“Commander,” Marcus said as he entered the chamber, “the palace is secure, and our men have established checkpoints along the main roads. We have also begun searching the northern district, but there is no confirmed sighting of the

Chapter 84: The Return of His Family II“Did they find Alaric Cross?” Alessia asked suddenly.Marcus's expression became more serious. “Not yet. But The commander has ordered a citywide search for him and his cohorts.”The excitement in Alessia's chest dimmed. She remembered Viktor's cruelty, and the way they had treated her as though her life were nothing more than a bargaining chip. Knowing that they were still free made the idea of leaving the estate less comforting than she had expected.Marcus seemed to understand her concern. “The commander is aware of the risk, ma'am. He has ordered additional security for the palace, and no one will be allowed near you or Julie without authorization.”Alessia looked down at her daughter, who was now bouncing impatiently beside her. She could not allow fear to rob Julie of the chance to be with her father, especially after everything the child had endured. Whatever dangers remained, she would face them beside Draven rather than remain separated

Chapter 85: Natasha Monroe.Natasha Monroe stood before the bedroom mirror, studying her reflection while the sounds of low conversation drifted from the sitting room downstairs. The house belonged to her father, Blac Monroe, and had once served as a private retreat for the family, far from the attention of business rivals and curious outsiders. Now it had become a hiding place for three men who had lost their palace, their soldiers, and nearly everything they had spent years building.She should have felt triumphant that Viktor was still alive and beside her, but the news from the palace had left a bitter taste in her mouth. Draven Mercer had taken the Cross family's stronghold, defeated their forces, and forced Alaric, Raymond, and Viktor to flee like criminals. Worse, Alessia was on her way to join the man who had rescued her from the life Natasha had once made miserable and unbearable.Natasha's fingers tightened around the edge of the dressing table. For ten years, she had wat

Chapter 86: Natasha Monroe IIShe continued speaking.“We find out who is guarding Alessia and Julie, which roads Draven uses to move them, and how much of his security depends on a small number of trusted men to protect his family. We won't act until we understand the pattern.”“And if we find an opportunity?”“Then we decide how we can hurt Draven Mercer the most without giving him an easy reason to suspect us.”Understanding dawned on Viktor. He drew her into another embrace, this time with a thoughtful, loving look in his eyes. For a brief moment, they were simply a man and woman who wanted each other, not two fugitives hiding from a commander who had taken everything they once considered untouchable. But the moment passed quickly, because the future they wanted would not be handed to them while Draven remained in power.Downstairs, Blac Monroe stood beside the sitting-room window, watching the street through a narrow gap in the curtains. He had already ordered his household staf

Chapter 87: The Old Worker Natasha Monroe sat behind the desk in the small study, turning the pages of the folder her father's trusted man had brought her the previous evening. She stopped at a page bearing the name Miriam Cole.Miriam had once worked in the Monroe household, serving the family for several years before leaving without looking back. She had been there during some of the worst periods of Alessia's life, witnessing the humiliation, the arguments, and the cruel decisions that had shaped the woman Natasha had spent years despising. Unlike most of the household staff, Miriam had never been particularly eager to please Natasha, and she had possessed an annoying habit of looking directly at people when they lied.Natasha could still remember the woman's disapproving expression whenever she found Alessia crying alone in a corner or struggling to calm Julie after another unpleasant incident. At the time, Natasha had considered Miriam's sympathy a weakness, something that ma

Chapter 88
Chapter 88: The Old Worker IIAfter Viktor left, Natasha returned to the desk and placed the folder inside the drawer. She locked it before slipping the key into her pocket, determined to keep the details of her investigation private until she knew whether the woman could be useful. If Alaric discovered that she was focusing on Alessia's past, he might demand immediate action, while Raymond could dismiss the entire idea as a waste of time.She needed to show them that her plan had a purpose before either man lost patience.The discussion downstairs was already underway when Natasha entered the sitting room that afternoon.Alaric Cross sat near the fireplace, his expression hard as he listened to Raymond describe the latest reports from the city. Blac stood beside the window, occasionally looking through the curtains to check the street outside. Viktor occupied the sofa nearest his father, while Natasha took the empty chair beside him.“Have your men found anything?” Alaric asked Raymo

Chapter 89
Chapter 89: A Dangerous PropositionNatasha Monroe spent most of the following morning preparing for a meeting she had no intention of allowing to go wrong. She chose a dark green dress, tied her hair neatly behind her head, and examined herself in the mirror before leaving her room. She wanted to look calm and respectable, not like a desperate woman hiding from the man who had taken everything her family once possessed.Miriam Cole had been located, and Natasha had finally decided to approach her.According to Gideon's report, Miriam worked as a private housekeeper for several families in Crestfall. She kept a modest routine, avoided unnecessary attention, and rarely visited places where she might encounter people from her former employment. Natasha had instructed Gideon to arrange an ordinary meeting without mentioning her name beforehand, giving Miriam no reason to suspect anything The meeting was scheduled at a small café in the western district, far enough from the Crosses' sa

Chapter 90: A Dangerous Proposition IIWhat things?” Miriam asked Natasha.“Things that happened in our household. Things she may have kept to herself because she didn't want anyone to know how much she suffered.”Miriam looked away, and when she spoke again, her voice was lower.“Alessia suffered because people made her suffer. There is no mystery about that.”“Perhaps not. But you were there for years, and I know you noticed things that the rest of us ignored.”“I noticed a young woman trying to survive in a house where she was treated as though she had no right to exist.”Natasha's fingers curled beneath the table.She had hoped Miriam would be more cautious, perhaps even willing to trade information for money or some other favour. Instead, the woman seemed determined to make her answer for every cruelty she had witnessed.“I didn't ask you here to discuss what you think of me,” Natasha said.“Then why did you ask me here?”“Because I want to know what Alessia was like before she m
