The Alliance
Liam adjusted the cuffs of his shirt as he stepped out of the car and and glanced over at Mia, who was wearing a simple but elegant black dress. She smiled softly as she tucked her hair behind her ear. They’d agreed on a private date, just to have a romantic date. “You sure this isn’t too public?” she asked, her tone light but cautious.Liam opened the door to the restaurant and gave her his hand. “Just dinner. We’ve earned one quiet night.”Mia smiled and took his hand. The place was upscale and dimly lit, tucked in the heart of the city. There were waiters in crisp white shirts moving gracefully between tables. Liam had requested a private corner booth near the back, away from curious eyes.They ordered quickly. He asked for wine for himself and Mia ordered for sparkling water. The moment felt almost normal, and for the first time in weeks, Liam let himself breathe.Mia leaned in. “Feels strange, doesn’t it? Being out in the open like this again.”“It does,” he admitted. “But I lik
Awakening
Mia stood alone in the long hallway of the Stevens estate, her arms crossed and eyes fixed on the muted television. She felt as if she was seeing him for the first time again, in a different light. Every on the news, Liam was there. He looked calm, focused and fierce and different. He wasn’t broken or angry, only determined. She turned up the volume, listening were ly to what he had to say. “This city deserves truth. Not filtered, not bought, not controlled. That’s the promise I made, and I intend to keep it.”Mia’s chest tightened as his voice sounded on the television. It wasn’t just what he said—it was how he said it. Like he’d already decided he wouldn’t lose this fight, no matter who tried to stop him. Even if that person was her.She hadn’t realized how far she’d stepped away until she saw him again, like this. He wasn’t just her husband, he was also a man fighting to protect something bigger than himself.Her hand moved to her stomach unconsciously, and without a second though
Claws and Cards
Chloe stared at the email again, but still did not know how to feel. The offer sat in bold letters at the top of her screen, “Editor-in-Chief, Orion Media Group.” It was everything she’d worked for. A dream position, one that would give her the kind of influence and power she would need to effect some changes in her role. But deep down, something didn’t feel right.She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms. “Why now?” she whispered to herself.Liam had warned her that media was the next battleground. And now here she was, offered the job of a lifetime in a place she didn’t build, by people she barely knew.Suddenly then, her phone buzzed. She glanced at it and saw a message from Jack.‘Found something. Meet me in 20. Same spot.’ Jack texted, and without wasting time, Chloe grabbed her coat and headed out.Jack was already waiting at their usual quiet café with a thick file in front of him.“You won’t like this,” he said as she slid into the seat.“Try me,” she replied, her eye
Two Queens
The Tribunal officers had been locked away for two days since the moment Liam had captured them. He had them separated, kept under tight surveillance, and interrogated one by one. There was no sleep. No comfort or mercy. Not until he found Natalie or Vaughn.But despite the intense interrogating methods, neither Marlan Trevors nor Cale Dreyden gave up a single detail about Vaughn or Natalie’s whereabouts. At some point, Liam was filled with so much frustration, he had tried bribes. Jack had tried fear. Laura even offered them false deals for safety—but both men stayed quiet. It was maddening.“Someone trained them,” Jack muttered, pacing outside the holding room.Liam clenched his jaw. “Or they’re more scared of Natalie than us. But why would they be? She’s just a spoiled brat from a privileged home. The more he thought about it, the less it made sense, but then he turned away and headed to his office. If he couldn’t drag Vaughn out with force, then maybe some public pressure might ju
Reckoning
Liam hadn’t slept in days since Mia left. He had buried himself in work and revenge plans, trying to figure out how Vaughn and Natalie were able to pull off the kidnap. He thought if he could figure that out, it could point him in the right direction on how to find them.Every night, he sat in his office staring at maps, phone logs, and Tribunal records—anything that could give him a clue about where Natalie and Vaughn were hiding. But it was as if they vanished off the face of the earth. No noise. No sightings. Just a note that sat in his face like a mockery. But no matter how hard he thought, he was getting nowhere, and then out of frustration, he slammed his fist on the desk and growled, “They’re ghosts.”But ghosts don’t strike without help.That thought kept eating at him. Someone was feeding them information. Someone inside the Tribunal, or maybe even closer. His informants were being outplayed. It didn’t make sense. Until it did.Late one evening, Liam came across a decrypted i
House of Fire
Since she left, the Stevens estate had always felt cold to Mia. It was always too polished, too guarded, but now that she was back, it felt even worse, like a furnace. It wasn’t because the halls were warmer or the rooms were more welcoming. No, it was the heat inside her.She was no longer just someone’s daughter, wife, or pawn. She was the head of the Stevens family. And there was no time to feel sorry for herself.That morning, she had asked Lord David to give her details of all their recent partnerships, and so she sat alone in the head office—her grandfather’s old room. Across the polished wood desk, she spread stacks of papers, studying each with great detail as if she was trying to uncover a clue. She wanted to go over everything again, and though she told herself that she was trying to reclaim control of things and perform her obligated duties, she knew the real truth. She was just doing all of this to keep herself from thinking about Liam. So she studied the partnership contr
