Althea woke before dawn again.

This time, there was no dream clinging to her skin. Only the tension in her body felt just as dangerous. Her pulse was too fast. Her thoughts were too loud.

She knew what this meant and that she needs to leave the apartment.

She sat up slowly, careful with her movements, as though the walls themselves might be listening. The city outside the tall windows was still quiet, washed in a gray-blue light that made everything feel suspended in time. This hour used to bel

    Althea blinked."You what?"Dominic looked slightly guilty."I didn't want to say anything until, I was sure." He slowly admitted.She straightened."You've been looking?" She asked."For three weeks."She stared at him."When?""During evenings." Dominic answered patiently. "After everyone went to sleep and I will be left alone.""You never told me." Althea commented."I wanted us to decide together." He replied.Her expression softened immediately and she watched as Dominic reached into his pocket, pulling out a folded notebook where several pages protruded from inside."What is that?" She asked.He handed it over.Althea opened it and immediately her eyes widened at what she is reading.Names of schools with their programs.Curriculum comparisons.Security assessments.Teacher-to-student ratios.Architectural layouts.Emergency medical response capabilities.Playground safety.Even travel times from Blackstone.Althea slowly looked up."You visited them.""Just four school.” Domini

    The house had finally grown quiet with the laughter that echoed throughout Blackstone since morning had slowly faded into the peaceful sounds of evening.The birthday decorations still hung around the dining room while several balloons had escaped and now floated lazily against the high ceiling.Half of the dinosaur figurines remained scattered across the long dining table in different positions, because Nicholas had insisted each one guarded a different part of the "dinosaur kingdom."The birthday cake had been reduced to a single slice.Wrapping paper still littered one corner of the family room.Someone, Nicholas without question and playing with his grandfather, had left a tiny plastic Velociraptor inside Benjamin's coffee mug.Benjamin had discovered it only after taking a sip.The resulting laughter had lasted nearly five minutes.For one entire day, Blackstone had forgotten war.Forgotten Matteo.Forgotten the Axis.Even Dominic had spent the entire afternoon crawling around th

    The dining room of Blackstone had never looked so alive the following morning.For one morning, there were no traces of any blueprints spread across the long mahogany table.No discussions about bloodlines.No maps of the Valtieri Estate.No mention of Matteo.No mention of the Axis.Instead, green, bronze, and earth-colored balloons floated lazily beneath the chandeliers. Paper vines in different types, glittering, plain draped from the ceiling beams, weaving around banners that read:HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICO!Tiny dinosaur footprints wound across the polished wooden floor, leading toward the birthday table where a three-tier cake waited proudly in the center that Michael had the Devereaux chef made.A volcano made entirely of chocolate stood behind it.Plastic dinosaurs surrounded the cake as though protecting it.Antonio had insisted the T-Rex should stand on top of the volcano.Michael argued that scientifically it should have been a Pteranodon.They had argued for fifteen minutes whi

    His words drifted off as Dominic captured her mouth into a hungry kiss, his hands running down her body, feeling her curves.Althea wrapped her arms around him, kissing her mouth and let his tongue traveled inside her mouth as their tongues clashed together.“Mmm..” She murmured at the back of her throat.Dominic’s one hand traveled underneath her skirt, going up her thighs, caressing her skin.Althea reached for his other hand as he gently pushes her towards the table by the window.“I love you, Althea.” Dominic murmured, kissing her neck hungrily.His fingers started to unbuttoned her blouse downward while his lips followed and started kissing once her skin is exposed. His other hand moved down to her ankle and he gently bend it upward.Pushing her skirt up, Dominic went down on his knees and started kissing her inner thighs. He spread her legs open and with one finger moved her underwear to one side, exposing her rosy folds.Without further waiting, he started to lap up her rosy, f

    The last dinosaur balloon refused to cooperate despite Dominic having it tied twice. However, it still insisted on drifting towards the ceiling fan.Enzo, who had briefly wandered into the dining room in search of a midnight snack, watched the balloon float lazily across the room before looking at Dominic."You know..." He started to comment wryly as he folded his arms. "...for someone who can dismantle an international crime syndicate, you're losing to a balloon, boss."Dominic looked up and glared at him darkly."It has a personal grudge, you a$shole." He snapped coldly.Althea let out a laugh from the other side of the room where she was arranging little paper dinosaurs along the center of the dining table."The balloon isn't the problem, Dom." She said softly.Dominic glanced at her."It isn't?""No." She answered as she smiled mischievously. "You tied the ribbon upside down."Enzo covered his mouth dramatically."Oh, this is painful." He commented.Dominic narrowed his eyes."I f

    A soft knock on the office hardwood door panel interrupted his thoughts.Three measured knocks that are not hesitant and fearful.Expected.Matteo looked toward the door."It isn't locked." He called out patiently.The handle turned and the heavy office door opened.A man entered without waiting for permission and immediately closed the door quietly.Tall.Dark-haired.A faint scar still marked his jaw.His prison uniform had disappeared and in its place was a charcoal suit tailored perfectly to his frame despite looking thinner.Aurelio.He walked inside as though he owned the office with hands in his pockets. The arrogance hadn't diminished despite weeks behind bars.If anything, it had sharpened much more.He looked down at the floor and surveyed the scattered blueprints, the broken pencil and the overturned chair before looking back at Matteo and letting out a smile."So." Aurelio started lazily. "It seems that prison wasn't the only place people were f8cking losing their tempers.

    “DOMINIC!” Luca’s voice roared through the tunnels. Another explosion shook the corridor violently. “You should’ve stayed at Blackstone!”Dominic advanced instead.“YOU F8CKING SHOULD’VE STAYED AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!” He yelled angrily.More blood and gunfire started to exchange again, the tunnel bec

    The Axis Gate fought back with no mercy and Dominic understood it now.The Gate itself resisted intrusion like a living thing buried beneath centuries of stone and blood.The deeper they descended, the worse it became.Gunfire thundered endlessly through the tunnels.Muzzle flashes erupted violentl

    Althea nodded once before she finally stepped fully into the operation.The surgery began immediately.Scalp incision.Bone access.Pressure release.Too much blood appeared almost instantly.“Suction.” Althea instructed firmly.The nurses around her moved quickly.AURELIA projected vascular overla

    Michael stepped forward afterward and tossed another communication device onto the table.“My men are moving too.”Sebastian looked up.“You called them already?”“Yes. They’re fifteen minutes away.” Michael answered and folded his arms tightly. “Luca already hit Blackstone once. We’re not going to
