The walls of Luz Holdings felt colder than ever.

Alejandro stared at the encrypted signal on his screen. It pulsed with unnatural rhythm, a frequency outside standard communications. Natalia stood over his shoulder, her brow furrowed.

As always when she WS thinking of something.

“You’re sure this came from inside?” she asked quizzically.

He nodded. “Not just inside. From my father’s private vault. One that was supposedly sealed years ago.”

Camila entered, her voice tense. “We’ve got a second problem. Santiago and Lucía are off-grid. No contact for six hours.”

Alejandro turned to her, the storm already brewing in his mind. “They were supposed to be surveilling Joaquín.”

“They were,” Camila said. “But something must’ve gone wrong. Their last ping came from a private airstrip outside Medellín. After that, nothing.”

Natalia’s voice dropped. “You think Rafael has them?” worry coming back to play.

Alejandro clenched his jaw. “No. I think Ezekiel does.”

  • The Serpent’s Temple

    The mountain air was razor-thin, every breath clawing through Natalia’s lungs like broken glass. They’d landed at a nearby clearing, camouflaged their approach, and now crept along the edge of the jagged ridge, the serpent-shaped fortress looming ahead.Natalia crouched beside Santiago and Lucía, surveying the outer perimeter through binoculars. “Infrared sensors at every corner. Four rotating patrols. Noé isn’t just hiding here — he’s preparing for a siege.”Lucía exhaled slowly, eyes scanning the rocks below. “Then let’s give him one.”Santiago shook his head. “Not yet. The longer we stay unnoticed, the better chance we have to reach Alejandro.”Natalia bit her lip, gaze fixed on the eastern wall was less guarded, flanked by a sheer drop. “There,” she said. “Lucía and I go in quiet, through the old utility duct Gabriel mentioned. You cause a distraction west. Draw some of the guards off.”Santiago gave a tight nod. “You’ll have thirty minutes, max.”Lucía unsheathed her blade. “More

  • Blood Ties

    Natalia stood frozen, staring at the words burned into the bedsheets.I FOUND HIM.Her hands trembled. The air in the room felt colder, as if the very presence of those words had leeched the warmth from the villa. The silence was deafening. No signs of struggle, no blood. Just that single message more like a declaration and a warning.She picked up Alejandro’s discarded shirt, pressing it to her chest as if it could offer answers. But all it gave her was dread. Whoever had taken him hadn’t needed force. Alejandro had gone willingly. That terrified her more than anything else.Because she had seen the photo. The boy with Alejandro’s eyes. And she knew that Alejandro had not just found his past.He’d found his brother.******Undisclosed Location – Border of BoliviaAlejandro sat inside the backseat of a nondescript SUV, eyes fixed on the figure beside him.Noé Vega.Older. Hard-eyed. His face was like a mirror distorted by time and pain. His features were unmistakable they shared the

  • The Ashes of truth

    The flames licked at the sky as the mansion groaned one final time, then collapsed into a smoldering ruin. Smoke choked the night, thick and bitter with ash. Sirens echoed faintly in the distance, lost beneath the roar of destruction.Somewhere beneath the rubble, Alejandro stirred.His head throbbed. Blood caked the side of his face, warm and sticky. Every bone in his body ached, but he was alive just somehow. Dust clung to his skin, and the scent of scorched earth filled his lungs. Above him, twisted metal and broken wood formed a jagged cage.He coughed, pain blooming in his chest, and rolled onto his side. “Salomé…” he rasped.There was no answer. It felt like the space was empty like there was just him in there.It felt like echoes.A beam cracked nearby, groaning under its own weight. He didn’t have much time. Gritting his teeth, Alejandro pulled himself forward, clawing through debris. Every movement felt like dragging a corpse, but he pushed on, driven by fury and desperat

  • The Explosion

    The explosion The explosion that rocked the mansion was deafening, sending a shockwave through the crumbling estate. Everywhere shaking so hard one could fall to the ground.Dust and debris filled the air, making it difficult to breathe, let alone think. Alejandro barely had time to react before the walls began to tremble and crack, and the ceiling above them started to collapse. He reached out, instinctively pulling Natalia away from the falling rubble. His arms cuddling her instinctively.“Get down!” he shouted, dragging her to the ground just as a massive chunk of stone crashed where they had been standing moments before.Amid the chaos, the eerie calmness of Ezekiel’s voice cut through the noise.“You’ve always been too eager, Alejandro,” Ezekiel said, stepping into the partially collapsed hallway. His voice was almost... affectionate. If one could say so.It felt like he had a weak spot for Ale, but that was shortlived. “You never learned to wait, to let the pieces fall into

  • Unraveling

    The engines of the jet roared to life, slicing through the cold morning air like a predator tracking its prey. Alejandro sat in the cabin, eyes trained on the screen in front of him, where the map of South America lit up. São Paulo, marked with a red dot, was now the focal point of everything he’d spent his life building, and tearing down.“Are you sure about this?” Natalia asked from across the cabin, her voice cold but laced with concern. She always had concern for him in a cold way.Alejandro didn’t look up from the map. His mind was too focused. “We don’t have a choice. Gabriel is the key to everything. If we stop him now, we stop Ezekiel. We stop Salomé.”Camila, standing near the doorway, shot them both a glance. “And if you can’t stop Gabriel?” she asked quizzically.“We’ll burn the bridge when we get to it,” Alejandro replied sternly and fixated.******São Paulo – The Ghost’s LairThe city below was a sprawling mosaic of chaos. São Paulo, with its towering skyscrapers and w

  • A calming storn

    The city below was chaos wrapped in neon. Even in the dead of night, Luz Holdings glowed like a lighthouse in a warzone. But inside its tallest floor, Alejandro Jiménez was adrift somewhat restless, drowning in memory, every secrets found, and the blood-soaked weight of legacy he now found himself in.He couldn’t sleep. How could he sleep?Not after learning of Salomé’s activation. That was something he had to stop but had somehow delayed.Not with Lucía and Santiago still in Ezekiel’s hands. He was going to do crazy things with it.Not with Rafael’s voice still echoing through the vault, speaking of heirs as experiments.He stared out over the skyline, shirt unbuttoned, glass of whiskey untouched in his hand. The walls around him felt more like a cage than an office. His fingers trembled. Not that of fear, but he was anxious of what he could do.He hadn’t stopped moving in days. Every step forward brought more darkness. More lies. More things that his heart is still to take.And s
