LYSANDER'S POV:

I found her in the garden after I checked in her room and didn't see her there early the next morning.

She is sitting on the stone bench, the one that overlooks the valley, the one where Celestine and I used to sit when we were first falling in love. She has a book in her hands, but I noticed she is not reading it. She is staring out at the distant hills, her face expressionless, her green eyes empty.

I walk toward her. My footsteps are heavy on the gravel. She hears me coming b

The world outside is still spinning, still moving, still going on as if nothing happened.But everything has changed.I stand in the study of the penthouse, surrounded by maps and photographs and the kind of organized things that comes from planning a mission that could get people killed.

The moment when Elara dropped the gun and Lysander pulled her into his arms.She fucking chose them and I feel something cold settle in my chest, anger, rage and the burning desire for revenge.I still have some few resources.

    LYSANDER'S POV:The sun rises over the valley and I stand in the middle of what used to be my home and I feel nothing.The house is still standing, but barely. The east wing is gone, collapsed in on itself, a pile of smoldering rubble that used to be the library where I read to my children. The garden is charred, the roses blackened and dead, the bench where Celestine and I used to sit reduced to ash. The smoke is still rising, thin and gray, curling up toward the sky like the ghost of everything we have lost.The firefighters are packing up their equipment. The police are loading the last of the intruders into vans. The paramedics are tending to the injured. The mayhem is over. The nightmare has ended.But the damage is done.I was told my three warehouses are destroyed. Two of them were full of inventory, shipments that were supposed to go out this week. The third was a storage facility, holding decades of records, documents that cannot be replaced. The financial loss is staggering.

Her eyes are wet."Elara," she says. "I love you.""I love you too, Mummy."**CELESTINE'S POV:**The doctors arrive ten minutes later.They burst through the door, carrying bags and equipment. They push past Lysander and Alistair and surround me. Their voices are calm and professional. Their hands are steady."Ma'am, I need you to breathe. Push. Push now."I scream. My back arches. My fingers dig into the mattress."Lysander," I gasp. "I cannot do this.""You can. You can do this. You are the strongest person I know.""I am not strong. I am in pain.""You are strong. You are so strong."I scream again. The sound is raw and primal and it tears through me like a blade.Alistair is holding my hand. His grip is fierce, desperate."Come on, Mum," he says.

    CELESTINE'S POV:The safe room is small and cold and it smells like the faint metallic tang of fear. But it is safe. The walls are thick stone, built by Lysander grandfather to withstand bombs and fires and anything else the world might throw at us. The flames outside cannot reach us here. The smoke cannot find us. We are hidden, protected, alive.But I am dying.That is what it feels like anyway. The contractions are coming fast and hard, too fast, too early. The baby is not supposed to be here for another month. The baby is not supposed to be born in the middle of a war zone.

    ELARA'S POV: I did this. I did all of it. Because I believed a lie. Because I let a dead man poison my heart with his hatred. I drop the gun and it clatters to the floor and I fall to my knees. The tears come. Ugly, broken sobs that tear out of my throat and shake my whole body. I cannot stop them. I do not want to stop them. Lysander rushes to me. His arms wrap around me. He pulls me into his chest and holds me tight. "I am sorry," I sob. "I am so sorry. I did not know. Vladimir told me—" "Shh," he says. "It is okay. We are going to get through this. Together." I cry against his chest. I hold onto him like he is the only thing keeping me from falling apart. "I almost lost you," I say. "I almost lost all of you." "But you did not. You are here. We are here. And we are going to fix this." I look up at him. His gray eyes are wet. "I love you," I say. "I love you, Dad." He pulls me closer. "I love you too, Elara. I have always loved you.
