“Who the fuck are you?” I yelled, my feet trembling in outright shock.“Calm down, Raymond. I can explain. It’s not what you think.” Ria pressed her hands together as she stepped toward me.“What do you think I’m thinking, you freaking traitor?” I snapped. “I thought you were different. I trusted you. So you saved my life just to turn me in to the cops?” Sweat rolled down my temple. “You could’ve just let me die.”“Ray, I’m sorry, I—”“How long have you been a rat?” I cut in, nostrils flared. “Raymond, please, I can—”“ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!.” I slammed my hand against the wall.She flinched. “Five years.”The words hit like a bullet.“Wow.” I let out a hollow laugh. “So you and Al had this planned, right? You knew everything. I’ve been so stupid.” I turned away, dragging a hand down my face. “Ria… I trusted you.”“Raymond, you have to believe me. I didn’t know about any of this. It’s a setup.”I stepped closer until her breath brushed my lips. “Which part is the setup? That yo

This is written in third person perspective. Trysis HQ“Good job, Raymond,” Al snickered. He tossed his phone onto the sofa and burst into laughter.“This cocksucker really thinks he can bring me down.” “But he can.” The man seated beside him spoke calmly. Inspector Mark — one of the FBI’s top officials… and Al’s paid shield whenever things got messy. “This guy was part of your mafia,” Mark continued. “He knows everything. If he keeps talking, all of us are taking a nice trip to prison — and I’m not losing my job because of you.”Dera scoffed from across the room. She walked over and planted a kiss on Al’s head. Al pulled her closer, their lips locking without shame.Mark’s face twisted in disgust.“Guys, wrong time. This is serious!” he thundered, rising to his feet. Hands on his waist, pacing restlessly. “That man knows too much.”“Mark, calm—”“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” Mark snapped, sweat gathering on his forehead. “My career is on the line. Years of service — go
Chapter Twenty Five
RaymondThe doctor took the stethoscope off my chest, packed the rest of her equipment, and placed everything neatly back into her bag.“You’re pretty much fine now. But you still need rest. In a couple of days, you should be fully healed,” she said.She sounded exactly like Ria.Same calm voice. Same steady eyes. No soothsayer needed to tell me they were siblings. The only difference was that Ria was slightly taller… and part of a mafia.“I’d have to go now,” Amelia said. “Thanks, sis. I’ll call you later,” Ria replied. They hugged before Amelia walked out, leaving just Ria and me in the room.For some reason, being alone with her made the air feel tight.“Amelia,” I began. “Beautiful name. That means it can be shortened to Lia.”I wasn’t sure if that was a question or a statement. Either way, I waited.“Yeah. Lia for short,” Ria smiled. “But she hates being called that.”“Why? It’s a cool name.”“Our mum used to call her that. After she passed… it started bringing back memories

Chapter Twenty Three
“The Bayview County Morgue has been attacked. The incident occurred at 9pm last night. The morgue assistant, identified as Philip Jones, and four security guards were murdered. Police say the attackers came specifically to extract a blood sample from a corpse. Four hours after the Bayview attack, another hit took place at Bloodstone Tower. Officers reported that the criminals attempted to break into the vault but failed. Six officers were confirmed dead. And three - injured. Evidence gathered so far links both attacks to a Mafia group called Trysis, led by Al — known for several political heists. The Minister for Security assures that they will be brought to justice. This is the news from Star TV, and I am Amelia Williams. Good even—”Al grabbed the remote and killed the TV before she finished. He flung the remote into the wall. His fist tightened, and he kicked the table — it exploded into pieces. Veins crawled up his neck.“You all need to start explaining,” he thundered. “You said
Chapter Twenty Two
“Who the fuck could be doing this?” Al thundered, pacing the room. He tore off his hat, ran a hand through his hair, and glared at everyone. “Someone knew we were coming for him and decided to kill him.”“I don’t think that’s what’s going on,” Tyler cut in, cautious like he was walking on a minefield.“Then what is going on?” Dera snapped, eyes slicing into him.Tyler bit his lip, meeting her stare. “If anyone else was coming for Vladimir, it’s for the same reason we went after him. He just got into the country. Why would anyone want him dead? It has to be because of that stone.”He glanced around, scanning the faces of everyone in the room.Al said nothing. He cracked open a bottle of whiskey and swallowed half of it like water.“I can’t lose millions just like that,” he growled, leaning over the table. “Something has to be done. Fast.”“What if there’s another way to unlock the vault?” Ria asked, leaning in.“Vladimir’s the only one who can unlock it, dummy,” Dera snapped. “Maybe you
