Mira-Jane calmly turned off her alarm as she had woken up minutes before despite drinking with Cobe the previous day. She sighed and looked at her assistant. “Any news?” The assistant swallowed. “Uh… Y-yes ma’am. They've updated us since last night.” “Really?” She turned sharply, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “That’s pretty fast. I guess that’s a good thing, right?” The assistant looked away. “Well… Uh…”She frowned. “What’s wrong?” “Ma'am, you see… The thing is-” “Speak, for f*ck’s sake! You lost your tongue or something?” Mira-Jane snapped. “At the estate!” The assistant rushed out, “It took under five minutes for Michael Scofield to deal with the assassins. As for his twin that was followed… She didn’t even have to lift a finger, Adrian Blackwood handled them all without getting a single scratch.” Mira-Jane went still for a moment before gasping and stumbling back slightly. “No way… Those damn assassins were supposed to be highly skilled, I even gave them everything the

They pulled apart after a few seconds, both of them breathing a little harder than before. Mira blinked. "We're probably going to regret this.” A smile tugged at Adrian's lips, "Maybe." She studied his face for a moment, as if trying to find the joke. Then she shook her head, "Don't know about you but I kinda don't care." Something shifted in Adrian's expression. For people who spent most of their time arguing, threatening each other, or pretending not to care, the silence between them suddenly felt far more dangerous than any fight they had ever been in. "Oh, Princess…” His hand settled lightly on her waist, "I stopped caring a while ago." Before she could answer, he leaned in again. This time the kiss was slower, less surprising and more intentional. Mira grabbed the front of his shirt almost immediately. Not because she wanted to push him away, quite the opposite. Months of frustration, confusion, curiosity, and attraction that neither of them wanted to acknowledge suddenl

"Ooh, you're cooking?" Mira practically dashed into the kitchen. "You know, I skipped dinner at the estate because I was in no mood to eat. Not with my brother keeping everyone on edge. But coming over here and getting a whiff of this? I change my mind." She returned to the paper bag she had brought and proudly pulled out a bottle of wine. "Good thing I came prepared." Adrian only sighed. "Stand back, you might burn yourself." A few minutes later, he plated everything and carried it to the living room. There wasn't a dining table yet, so they ate around the coffee table instead. Mira kept trying to start conversations about random things. The weather, Snow City, the neighbors, a stray cat she saw on the way over… Eventually Adrian told her to focus on eating before her food got cold. After that, they ate in comfortable silence. When they finished, Adrian uncorked the wine and poured a glass for her first. He slid it across the table, "Drink." Mira looked at the glass, then at h

The next day was charity day for Mira-Jane. From the moment she stepped out of her hotel, supporters waved signs with her name on them and children held up drawings they hoped she would notice as cameras captured every moment. She smiled through all of it. Her first stop was an orphanage on the eastern side of Sunset City. The building had suffered damage during the war but had recently been renovated. The staff welcomed her warmly, and dozens of children rushed forward excitedly. For nearly an hour she played games with them, helped them paint pictures, listened to their stories and posed for photos. At one point, a little girl wrapped her arms around Mira-Jane's waist and refused to let go. The cameras practically exploded with excitement. It was the perfect image. Mira-Jane somehow maintained her smile until she finally made it back to her vehicle. The moment the door shut behind her, she immediately grabbed a bottle of hand sanitizer. "Oh my goodness." She squeezed half t

Scofield Estate. Barry scoffed as he watched the replay of Mira-Jane Fletcher's arrival on television, "She must feel like some kind of hero or something. Look at that crowd." The screen showed thousands of people cheering as Fletcher waved from her convoy. "Let her have her moment." Michael said calmly from his chair. "Soon, she'll be regretting all of that." Barry looked away from the television. "You still haven't told me what you're planning. Everything we've tried so far has failed. I even spoke to Isaac, he got nothing. How are you so calm?" Michael folded his hands. "Because I'm Michael Scofield." Barry rolled his eye. Michael continued, "And because I believe desperation will always overcome loyalty. Especially when the people you're loyal to keep screwing you over." Barry's expression changed, "Is this about Cobe Marshall?" "We'll see." Barry swallowed. Even after all these years, there were times when Michael completely lost him. The frightening part was that he us
Chapter 370
After a series of practiced smiles, endless handshakes, and enough waving to make her arm ache, Fletcher finally arrived at her hotel. The moment the elevator doors opened onto the private floor reserved for her, the cheerful expression she had worn all day began to crack. By the time she reached the presidential suite, there was nothing left of the charming public figure the city adored. The door shut behind her and she immediately kicked off her heels and sent them flying across the room. "What an exhausting ride." She groaned, dropping onto the edge of the bed. "Are the roads always that bumpy?" Her assistant calmly set down a folder. "Most of the roads affected by the war are still undergoing repairs. Reconstruction efforts are ongoing throughout the city." Mira-Jane stared at her. "Okay, know-it-all." The assistant remained silent. Mira-Jane rolled her eyes and stretched her legs. "Now get out, all of you. I need to get some rest." The assistant nodded and the guards began
