The Other Woman
“Zion,” she whispered, and suddenly froze in place. He looked good. Too good. He was wearing all black, but there was something else that caught Aria’s attention, and that was the slim woman beside him. She was tall, elegant, and had glowing brown skin with short curls.Aria studied her closely, and she could feel her heart begin to race in anger, especially when she touched Zion’s wrist as she laughed, and he didn’t pull away.Her throat tightened, and for a moment, her chest physically ached. She wanted to storm over there and tell that woman to keep her hands off him, but she remembered that she was the one who walked away, and Zion had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with anyone. But even though she knew she could only blame herself for this, it didn’t help as she watched him smile at someone else the way he used to smile at her. Her heart fractured, and the only thing she could do was hold it together. Aria forced a grin, like she could fool herself out of this pain. This
New Skin
Aria’s thoughts were anything but calm the next morning. She stood in front of her mirror, looking at her reflection with a keen look. She could not recognize herself anymore. The old Aria was gone, but she still could not recognize this new one. Maybe it was the old clothes. They didn’t feel right anymore. The plain black turtleneck, the worn-out boots, the coat she’d been wearing since her last safehouse escape. She looked in the mirror and shook her head. She wasn’t that same girl anymore. She was a new woman now. One that could be dangerous.She traced a finger down her collarbone, touching the gold Carpi pendant that now felt more like armor than an heirloom. If you’re going to start a war, she thought, you better look like someone who wins. With that thought, Aria searched through her old wardrobe, picked the best outfit she could find, and headed out. An hour later, she walked into the most exclusive boutique in Ivory Heights, the richest district in the city. The kind of place
Tied In Blood
It had been a few days since Aria found out the real truth about her father and knew who she truly was. For the first time ever, she had found her purpose, knew who she was, and what she was meant to do. And that morning, she had returned to where it all started. The birthplace of her truth. She stood by the old fireplace in John’s study, staring into the fading flames. Her father’s pendant hung around her neck like a reminder of everything she had discovered. Of everything she was now meant to carry.John stood near the door, watching her keenly. “You’ve barely slept, have you, Aria?” he said softly.But Aria didn’t look at him. Her mind was fixed on something more important. “I don’t have time to sleep.” She said.“You have time to think,” John said. “And what you’re planning… it isn’t what Peter wanted for you.”Those words finally made her turn. “I don’t care what he wanted anymore,” Aria said, her voice sharp. “I care about what this city needs. What I need.”John took a slow ste
Aria's Revenge
The morning found Aria in bed, wrapped up in floral sheets, staring at the ceiling. She’d been awake for about an hour now, rethinking her decisions. She knew it was the right thing to do; Zion didn’t need all the drama that came with her life, but why did she feel this way? Why did she feel guilty over choosing not letting him get hurt? After searching for that answer for a while, she finally heaved a deep sigh and got off the bed. Maybe it was all this bedrotting that made her feel like that. She wondered.On her way to the bathroom, she walked past her laptop and saw the half-finished message she had written for Zion. At that moment, she felt a sharp relief. One more glass of wine and she may have been foolish enough to press send.And now, instead of sending it, she closed the lid and walked past it. Enough waiting. It was time she stopped hiding behind guilt, doubt, and feelings she didn’t fully understand. There were questions still haunting her. And now, more than ever, she nee
Burn The Crown
After the whole incident died down, Zion stood in his room, staring at the blinking cursor on his laptop screen. His mind had spun far away, and even now, he didn’t know what to do. He had spent the last few days debating whether to release the encrypted files he had found on the Tribunal. Liam had warned him. Mia had warned him about everyone else he knew. But the truth burned too loudly in his head. Without any further hesitation, he clicked upload, leaned back, and watched as the footage spread like wildfire.Video after video, there was evidence of Tribunal soldiers executing prisoners behind cold walls. No trials. No defense. Just silent orders, and in some clips, Concord leaders standing in the shadows, watching and doing nothing. He knew it was a far stretch and did not show his family in a good light either, but he hoped this would stir things and wake the people, and just as he wanted, it happened.The people of the city didn’t sleep that night. By morning, the streets were f
The Trap
After they returned to the Moran estate, Liam exhaled in great relief the moment his eyes caught on Jack. He was bruised and hurt but they’d survived more together. He strode towards them and gently patted Zion’s shoulder. “You all right, son?”Zion pressed his palms to his temples. “I’m fine.” He said in much relief and glanced at Jack. “Glad you’re back.”Jack forced a small smile. “Glad to be back.”Liam and Jack strode towards the medical room. He needed to be treated and Liam still had some questions for him about Lucian. Later, after they had finished having breakfast, Liam asked Zion to join him in the drawing room which was located at a private corner of the estate. Zion hesitated at first. A conversation with his father always resulted in an argument and he wasn’t in the mood for another lecture. But still he followed.Liam closed the door behind them as soon as Zion walked in and gestured to a pair of chairs. “Sit.”Zion sank into one, the weight of unspoken words lingerin
