The hallway was alive with murmurs and low laughter.

The moment Harper had gone inside her office, the employees had sneakily left their workspaces again, eager to watch the drama unfold.

They were gathered together in groups of twos and threes, whispering and discussing their own bets about how this was going to turn out, occasionally glancing back at the tightly shut office door.

But as time dragged on, Sophia was getting more anxious; her mind flashing back to the conversation her mother and sister had told her about.

Because of his new rich girlfriend, he had been preferred over her family! What if… what if Harper was the same, new woman in his life?

Her lips were curled in an irritated pout as she nervously bit her nails.

“This is taking too long,” she snapped, casting an annoyed glance at the closed office door. “What could they possibly be discussing in there? It’s a simple matter—Nathan is a nobody. Kick him out and move on.”

Lucas, leaning against the wall with a smug ex

    Nathan sat cross-legged on the floor of his meditation room, the faint hum of biofrequency emitters surrounding him like a cocoon. The room was designed for silence—no distractions, no digital interference. His breath was steady, the ring on his finger pulsating gently with every inhale. He focused inward, extending his awareness beyond the room, threading his mind through the city’s ambient noise like fingers through fog.Somewhere, across the city, another meeting was happening—one not on any calendar, one hidden in static and shadow. And Nathan reached for it.His consciousness brushed against the edge of something sharp.A presence.Then—a wall.Not stone or steel. Not electronic.A mind.And not just any mind—a fortress wrapped in smoke and ancient discipline.Nathan pushed.The wall hit back.White-hot pain lanced through his skull. His breath caught. Blood burst from his nose as if something inside his brain had cracked.He recoiled, gasping, one hand clawing at the floor. The

    The sound of fingers furiously clacking against a keyboard echoed in the dimmed data room, tucked three floors below Imperium Corp’s main building. Miko’s dark eyes flicked across the streaming code on the screen, her brows furrowed in concentration.Harper stood beside her, arms crossed, gaze fixed on the monitor. “You’re sure it’s not just Nathan updating his files remotely?”Miko shook her head, tapping to enlarge a highlighted block of log entries. “He hasn't accessed these folders in over three weeks. But someone else tried to, five times. From an external node masked through three proxy layers. Whoever it was knew exactly what to look for.”“Can you trace it?”Miko hesitated. “Not fully. But I know where it originated: someone inside the company. They didn’t get in, but that won’t stop them next time.”Before Harper could reply, the security door hissed open behind them. Nathan stepped in, black jacket still damp from the rain outside, his presence calm but alert.“You called?”

    The soft whir of a smoothie blender filled the Imperium Corp breakroom as Nathan leaned over the counter, watching the machine struggle through frozen berries. He didn’t usually take breaks, he couldn’t afford to with the ring pulsing strange energy through his veins.But Harper had insisted. And so here he was, watching blueberries and protein powder be chopped into a pulp just so they could become something nutritious.He became alert as soon as he heard a yelp.“Agh—dammit!”Harper hissed, yanking her hand back from the drawer she had just opened. A splatter of red stained her fingers.Nathan was beside her in a blink.“What happened?”“The blender blade in the drawer wasn’t stored right.” She winced, holding up her palm. A clean, shallow slice curved across her skin.Nathan reached for a paper towel but hesitated.Something about the cut, the way her skin flared red, tugged at his senses. He wasn’t thinking. He just touched her wrist with two fingers.And the ring warmed.Harper

    From the far end of the cafés wide glass windows, hidden by the shadows of a half-drawn curtain, Miko stood motionless.Her almond-shaped eyes, usually so calm, now shimmered with restrained alarm.She had followed her instincts to the café after Harper texted her to meet but hadn’t expected this—Nathan and Harper locked in an embrace, surrounded by a radiant flare from his ring. Not a trick of light. Not technology. Something older. Deeper.As the glow faded and the pair stood there, breathless and changed, Miko pressed her palm to the cool glass.It was just like in the scrolls.Her grandfather’s stories drifted back to her like a song on wind. Scrolls written in forgotten dialects, describing artifacts said to be forged from cosmic stone, imbued with the essence of celestial guardians. Artifacts that reacted to soul alignment—where two beings momentarily became one.She had always assumed it was folklore. Romanticized nonsense passed down from monk to child.But she had just witnes

    Lucas lay in a crumpled heap against the cafe's tile floor, groaning faintly, one arm twisted at a sickening angle. The glass he’d been holding had shattered on impact, its remnants glinting around his motionless hand.Nathan stood over him with measured calm, not a scratch on his face, only the faint gleam of his ring, still pulsing softly with residual energy.Harper stepped forward cautiously, her gaze darting from Lucas to Nathan. “You broke his arm.”“He came at me,” Nathan said flatly. “With a punch and a plan.”Her voice lowered. “And you caught every single move like you’d seen it five seconds before he made it.”“I did.”She blinked. “You read him.”Nathan finally looked at her, something unreadable in his eyes. “I felt you too. When he started pressuring you… I felt it. The ring... it reacts when you're distressed.”Harper’s lips parted slightly. “You felt me?”He nodded once. “Your panic. Your tension. Not just words. The ring... it doesn’t just read minds anymore. It sense

    Nathan stepped into the penthouse, the metallic scent of blood still faint on his jacket. His mind buzzed with the phantom imprint of the fight,.but it wasn’t the fight that was lingering in his mind. It was the fact that someone had been there, but before he could spiral into that thought again, a soft voice broke the silence.“I saw you…” Harper said from the hallway, arms crossed, her eyes unreadable.Nathan turned. “What… what did you just say?”“In the parking garage.”She clarified. “I was there, just coming to help you. I was halfway down the stairwell when I heard the first scream.’She said, stepping into the light. “But by the time I got there, you were already dismantling them like they were made of glass.”Nathan didn’t respond at first, and Harper studied him carefully. “I didn’t step in because I didn’t need to, but I noticed something. Back there, you didn’t just fight them. You were predicting their movements before they decided what they do, and you moved like y
