Unspoken War
Liam stood in the dimly lit Tribunal chamber frozen when Lord Ainsley mentioned Mia’s name. What did he mean they were going after her as well? He was surrounded by ancient books and digital screens flashing with encrypted data. The walls were thick, built to keep secrets in and enemies out. Across the long table, Lord Ainsley leaned forward, his voice heavy with concern.“Vaughn’s gone,” he said grimly.Liam narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean he’s gone?”“He escaped Liam. He disappeared from his holding cell just after midnight,” Ainsley said, sliding over a surveillance image. It showed Vaughn walking through a corridor, alone, unarmed and free.“How’s that possible?” Liam muttered, staring at the photo. “The cells are locked down. No one gets out without clearance.”“Exactly,” Ainsley said. “He had help. Inside help.”Liam’s jaw clenched. “From who?”Ainsley tapped on his tablet and pulled up a message that had been intercepted: a recording of Vaughn’s voice.“If I can’t destroy
Two Heartbeats
The tires screeched as Liam’s car came to a sudden stop in front of the hospital. His breaths were rapid and everything still seemed like it was some strange hallucination. He had barely let the engine die before he was out of the car with Mia still cradled tightly in his arms.“Help! I need help!” he shouted, rushing through the glass doors of the hospital. Two nurses recognized him instantly and came sprinting. “Mr. Moran, what happened?”“She fainted. She just… collapsed,” Liam said frantically. “She wasn’t responding, and I didn’t know what else to do. Please, please help her.”If anyone saw him now, he would seem almost unrecognizable. Liam almost never begged, and now he seemed like a child trying to get an adult’s attention.The nurses wasted no time, they gently took Mia from his arms and set her on a gurney. Immediately, they started rolling her towards an emergency ward. Liam tried to follow, but just then a doctor intercepted him.“Mr. Moran, we’ve got her now,” the doctor
Suspicions Rise
The sun filtered through the tall windows of the estate and casted soft light over the breakfast table. It was the perfect start to a slow and beautiful morning, but something felt off. Mia had prepared scrambled eggs and tea for breakfast, but as she sat down on the table, she suddenly lost the mood to eat. She sat in silence, stirring her tea, her eyes occasionally drifting toward the hallway where Liam had disappeared earlier.Something didn’t feel right. Not since she found that document late at night—the one with the Tribunal's crest and Liam’s name printed across the top. He hadn’t said a word about it. And that silence was louder than anything.Today, she decided, she wasn’t going to sit still anymore. If Liam was involved again with the Tribunal, then there was no guarantee that he was safe. If he didn’t also want her help in dealing with this, she was going to do everything to make sure that her family was safe. They had fought so many different forces and weathered so many s
The Pact
The room was unnaturally quiet that evening. The air tensed with sinister thoughts. Vaughn poured another drink into his and Natalie’s mug, his sharp eyes locked on Natalie as she paced in front of the window.She hadn’t sat since she made the offer. Her energy was different now, calm on the surface, but boiling underneath.“You’re serious about this?” Vaughn asked, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.Natalie turned to him slowly. “Dead serious.”He leaned back in the chair for a long while, contemplating their options and then sighed. “We go after Liam, fine. But what’s the endgame here? Revenge?”Natalie turned sharply as soon as he said those words and walked toward him, her heels clicking softly on the hardwood. “Revenge is just the beginning. I want everything he has. His peace, his name, his control of the city. I want him to wake up every morning and regret ever choosing her over me.”Vaughn smirked. “You’re still mad about that?”Natalie’s eyes flashed. “He humiliated me.
Natalie’s Burn
The estate gates stood tall and silent, gleaming under the late morning sun. Liam’s black SUV rolled down the driveway, engine low and steady. He was heading into the city for a meeting, and even though he wasn’t that interested in it, he just couldn’t couldn’t avoid it. With the Tribunal’s memo still fresh in his mind, every step he took now carried weight.As he reached the gates, the security guard lifted a hand and called his attention. “Sir, someone’s here asking to see you.”“Who?” Liam asked, lowering the window slightly.The guard hesitated, almost as if he didn’t want to upset him. “Natalie Young.” He said. Liam’s jaw clenched as he heard her name. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a low tone. “Let her in. I’ll deal with it.”He reversed and parked just past the gate, stepping out of the car just as Natalie’s sleek silver coupe pulled up. She stepped out wearing oversized sunglasses, a tailored cream coat that hugged her curves, and a smirk that didn’t quite reac
Eyes on Ethan
If she didn’t already know, it was obvious by now. Mia had learned to trust her instincts, and right now, they were screaming.She saw it clearly now, Liam had changed, but it was in a more subtle manner. She first saw it in his smile, it wasn’t as wide or lasted as long as it used to. His touch lingered less when he held her. He’d gone quiet, his mind was somewhere else, and often than noticing his eyes darted at shadows as if waiting for them to speak.They were sitting on the patio that morning, breakfast laid out in front of them. She had prepared some fresh fruits, scrambled eggs and toast, but she barely touched them. She watched Liam instead. He stirred his coffee three times, never lifting the spoon or his eyes. His jaw tightened as he continued to read something on his phone, but when she called him, he quickly put it aside. “You didn’t sleep much last night,” Mia said gently.“Just couldn’t shut my brain off,” Liam replied, eyes still on the trees beyond the balcony.She hes
