“We absolutely will not be doing that!” The elder looked toward Johnathan, “Explain to your grandniece and grandnephew why moving this ceremony won't be possible.” Jonathan spoke calmly, making it clear that the gathering was important to the family. “Every year, the Scofields use this ceremony to renew alliances, exchange information, make agreements, and quietly demonstrate that our family is still powerful.” The other elders nodded as Johnathan continued. “It is one of the ways we maintain our influence without having to make a public show of it. The event gives us an opportunity to strengthen old relationships, build new ones, and remind everyone connected to us that we remain a force that cannot simply be ignored.” The twins looked at each other. They knew Johnathan was right, but the timing couldn’t be any more worse. Another elder went further, explaining that canceling the gathering once could be overlooked, especially with everything that happened between Michael and

Michael found himself caught in a loop as the memory of him killing those soldiers replayed over and over again in his mind. Every time he was falling into deep sleep, he saw the same moments. The gunfire, the bodies falling, the blood on his hands, and the terrible silence afterward. He tossed and turned in bed, trying to force the memory away, but it refused to leave him alone. No matter how much he tried to rest, his mind kept dragging him back there. Then a soft knock on the door finally made his eyes open. Michael remained still for a moment, staring at the ceiling before turning his head toward the nightstand. He looked at the digital clock beside his bed, it was getting close to 6 p.m. He frowned slightly, all that time and he couldn't even get some proper sleep. The knock didn't come again, but he got up regardless and moved toward the door. As he opened it and stepped out, he saw Monica walking away down the hallway and immediately called her back. Monica stopped and t

Mira sighed while still in Jace’s embrace. She had barely stepped out of the SUV before he had rushed toward her and wrapped his arms around her. “I’m too jetlagged for this.” She muttered. Jace immediately realized he had probably overwhelmed her. “Oh, sorry!” He said, quickly pulling away. “I just... I-I...” Mira gave him a tired look and shook her head. “You missed me, I know.” She walked past him and picked up her luggage. “But how about we keep our hands to ourselves next time?” Her eyes briefly drifted toward Adrian. “Especially in public.” She handed her luggage to one of the helpers carrying the bags, then sighed and started toward the entrance. “Home, sweet home.” Barry watched the exchange and sighed awkwardly. He then tapped Jace lightly on the shoulder and motioned toward Michael. Jace followed his gesture and immediately understood what Barry meant. “Right.” He muttered, clearing his throat. He turned toward Michael, trying to compose himself and held out a hand. “W

As they loaded their stuff into the car, Michael leaned closer to Mira, lowering his voice so only she could hear him. “I think I have my answer now.” Mira stopped what she was doing and looked at him with a confused expression, “Answer to what?” Michael gave her a knowing look, clearly enjoying the confusion on her face. “To my question at Fog Island.” She frowned. “Question?” He snickered under his breath. “Nevermind.” Before she could ask anything else, he walked past her and helped with her luggage. Mira watched him walk away, completely puzzled. She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, “What is he on about?” She tried to remember what her brother could possibly be referring to, but nothing immediately came to mind. Just then, Adrian leaned down from behind her and whispered, “We’re good to go.” Mira sharply turned around and immediately found herself face to face with him. Their eyes met, and for a second, she completely forgot what she had been thinking about. Sh

“You want to come to Sunset City?” Michael asked in concern, studying Lawrence’s face. “Are you sure about this?” Lawrence nodded firmly, then his expression softened. “You know I don’t have anyone else. No one’s coming for me anyway, so staying here is a waste of time. Besides, the UCA needs to pay for all the shitty things they’re doing, and I want to personally participate in their downfall.” Michael sighed and gave him a knowing look. “Sounds like your mind’s already made up.” His eyes drifted toward Ava in the distance, “What about her?” Lawrence slowly turned and looked at Ava. At that exact moment, she turned toward them, and their eyes met. He let out a quiet sigh before turning back to Michael. “I haven’t told her yet, but my decision won’t change. I want to come with you.” Michael nodded, “We leave for Sunset City tomorrow. I’ll ask Isaac to help process your papers so you can travel freely.” Lawrence’s eyes brightened immediately. “That’s great, thank you.” He turned

Aurora City International Airport. Isaac sat comfortably in his presidential car, which was parked across from the airport. His eye slowly scanned the airport entrance as he waited patiently for Michael, Gordon, and the rest of the group to exit. He had personally come to meet them, something his staff had strongly advised against given his position, but Isaac didn't care. These weren't ordinary people. Some of them had just survived an abandoned island, and Michael was his friend. Sitting beside him was his secretary. The man adjusted his glasses and looked toward the airport with an uneasy expression. "Sir, I don't know how to feel about this. I mean, letting a bunch of people with no official documents for flying come into the country? What if more people start thinking they can do that?" Isaac turned his head toward him. "You do realize that part of that group was on an abandoned island, right? And the people who helped them put themselves in harm's way just to bring them back
