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
Whispers from the Past
The estate’s garden shimmered in gold that night with the scent of fresh roses floating through the air, filling the room with a soft and relaxing atmosphere. Waiters moved between the small groups of powerful guests with trays of champagne and hors d'oeuvres balanced in their hands. It looked like any other high-society brunch, polished, controlled, elegant, except that it was.Mia felt none of that ease. She stood by the fountain in a pale blue dress, watching Liam laugh with a city official near the patio. He looked handsome, sharp as ever in his tailored suit. From a distance, he was the perfect host, smiling, confident, charming. But up close, she had seen the cracks. She knew him long enough to tell that there was something wrong. Something he wasn’t admitting. Earlier that morning, he’d been jittery. He hadn’t looked her in the eye for more than a second. And now, here at the event he organized so suddenly, he was pretending like everything was just fine.Mia sipped her mimosa
A Marriage in the Shadows
The morning started off like any other. The room buzzed with the sound of static from the television, birds chirped by the window and time felt still and gentle, but suddenly, Liam shot up breathing heavily, drenched in sweat. His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. The room was dark and silent except for the soft sound of Mia’s breathing beside him.For a moment, he could feel the relief wash over him and then breathed a sigh of relief. In his dream, the world was in chaos. Flames licked through the city skyline and the sound of sirens blaring became the new normal. But the worst part of this all was he stood there in the middle of the chaos, completely powerless and confused. Mia was gone. The streets were empty and then it happened over and over again. Each time, Peter’s face appeared, always smirking but eyes burned with cruelty and vengeance.“See Liam, everything burns in the end,” the voice had said. “And you’re still not king.”Liam clenched his fists and rubbed his
