Rhys, the heir of House Rhodes, stood beside him, exuding a calm confidence that belied the tension in the air.

“Ethan, I have to hand it to you,” Rhys began, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “This project of yours is nothing short of visionary. But I have to wonder, how are you managing with all the... complications?”

Ethan smiled, though his eyes remained sharp. “Every great project has its challenges, Rhys. Overcoming them is what makes the end result worthwhile.”

Rhys nodded, his gaze drifting briefly to where Sandra stood, now alone after her confrontation with Denera. “Speaking of challenges, Sandra seems to be handling things well. But you know as well as I do that the Monument Project requires more than just resilience. It requires strategy, innovation...”

“And you believe you can provide that?” Ethan interjected smoothly, steering the conversation.

Rhys met Ethan’s gaze, a small smile playing on his lips. “I don’t just believe it. I know it. When you and Sandra hit tha

    He stepped closer, the distance between them shrinking as the air around them seemed to thicken. “The Monument Project wouldn’t be where it is without you, Sandra. Despite our differences, we’ve built something incredible.”Sandra’s gaze softened, her guard momentarily lowered. “We have. But it hasn’t been easy. The backlash from the other houses, the constant obstacles… sometimes it feels like we’re fighting an uphill battle.”Ethan reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. “We’ve faced everything together. And we’ll continue to do so. I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side.”Sandra’s breath hitched at his touch, her eyes searching his. “"Even after everything? Even after how much we fought?”He smiled, his thumb softly tracing the curve of her cheek. “Especially after everything. Our differences have only made us stronger.”The intensity of his gaze and the warmth of his touch sent a shiver down Sandra’s spine. She leaned into his hand, her voice barely a whisper.

For now.***The gala had descended into chaos, and Ethan and Sandra were sprinting through the maze-like corridors of the Geralt mansion, racing toward the backdoor.

Each step they took was a step away from the danger behind them, but the danger ahead remained unknown.Ethan’s mind raced as fast as his legs, not for himself, he could hold out on his own, rather his thoughts focused on the urgency of their escape because of Sandra who was with him. Beside him, Sandra’s breathing was heavy, her determination driving her forward. They turned corner after corner, the path to safety seeming longer with each twist and turn.“Just a bit further,” Ethan panted, casting a quick glance at Sandra. “We’re almost there.”Sandra nodded

    Ethan pushed open the door to Sandra’s hospital room with a mix of trepidation and relief. The morning light filtered through the blinds, casting soft shadows on the walls. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the air, mingling with the faint aroma of fresh flowers someone had brought in, a desperate attempt to bring some cheer to the otherwise clinical environment.He walked quietly to Sandra’s bedside, his heart tightening at the sight of her. She lay there, pale but peaceful, her breathing steady. The bandage on her side was a stark reminder of the previous night’s violence.

    Ethan smiled, his heart swelling with pride and affection. “Together,” he echoed, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them side by side. The battle for justice and their future had only just begun, and he was ready to fight with everything he had.***Paul sat in the driver’s seat of the car, the engine idling softly in the hospital parking lot. It was already nearing afternoon, as the sun cast a warm glow through the open windows, the breeze a welcome relief after the chaos of the previous night. He leaned back, wincing slightly as his body reminded him of the injuries he had sustained. A few plastered cuts on his face and bandages on his arms were a testament to the ferocity of the fight.His phone buzzed in the cup holder beside him. He glanced at the screen, seeing Rachel’s name flash. A small smile crept onto his face as he picked up the phone and answered.“Hey, Rachel,” he said, his voice a mix of exhaustion and relief.“Paul!

    But for a few moments longer, he allowed himself to sit there, absorbing the strength he drew from his conversation with Rachel, readying himself for the battles yet to come.***Ethan gently closed the door to Sandra’s room, his mind still replaying the attack and their subsequent escape. The hospital hallway was a stark contrast to the chaos they had narrowly survived—sterile, quiet, and deceptively peaceful. As he stepped into the hallway, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He checked the screen and saw “Old Man” flashing. Taking a deep breath, he answered.“Hello” Ethan said, his voice steady but tinged with exhaustion.“Ethan, my boy,” the Old Man’s gravelly voice came through, filled with concern. “How are you holding up? I heard about the attack.”Ethan leaned against the wall, closing his eyes for a moment. “I’m alright, more or less. A few bruises, but nothing major. Sandra took a nasty hit, though. She’s recovering now.”“Damn,” the Old Man muttered, a hint of anger seeping i

The air was thick with the smell of stale sweat and smoke from the nearby factories. Alex sat on a rickety wooden stool, hunched over a small, battered radio, its surface covered in scratches and grime. His fingers trembled slightly as he turned the dial, tuning in to the familiar voice of the news reporter."...last night's shocking attack at the gala," the reporter's voice crackled through the static. "Authorities are still piecing together the details of the incident."Alex's heart pounded in his chest. He leaned closer to the radio, his breath shallow and rapid.

"The heir to one of the country's most prominent Super Houses and lead partner in the Monument Project."A wave of happiness washed over

    The warmth of a quiet morning bathed Rhys and Denera in soft golden light as they sat together on a wide sofa in their tastefully decorated living room. The chaos that had consumed their lives for months felt like a distant memory. Denera rested her head on Rhys’s chest, his arm draped protectively around her. Their hands were intertwined, fingers lightly brushing against each other—a silent vow to never let go. "I still can’t believe we’re here," Denera murmured, her voice carrying a blend of disbelief and gratitude. Rhys tilted her chin up, his piercing gaze meeting hers. "We fought for this, Denera. We’ve been through hell, but we came out stronger. I don’t just love you—I’m in awe of you." She smiled, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush. "And I’m in awe of us. Let’s promise to never let anything or anyone come between us again." Rhys leaned down and kissed her gently. "Not a chance. We’re unbreakable now."

    The dim light of Alex’s makeshift room flickered, casting shadows on the cracked walls and the scattered remnants of his old life. He sat on the edge of a wooden crate, methodically strapping his gear into place. His breaths were steady, but his eyes burned with purpose. Tonight was the night. This was what he had been training for—the moment he would finally free Laurel and eliminate Jason. Alex picked up his blade, its polished steel glinting in the faint light. He ran his fingers over the edge, testing its sharpness. A small scar on his knuckle caught his eye—a reminder of all the battles he’d fought leading up to this. He glanced at the photo of Laurel taped to the wall, her smile a beacon of hope amidst his darkened world. “This is it,” he muttered to himself. “For you, Laurel.”With his weapons secured and resolve hardened, Alex stood, pulling his hood over his head.

"You good?" he asked, his voice low but steady.Ethan nodded, though exhaustion weighed on every inch of his body. He pulled out his phone, his hands trembling slightly, and dialed Sandra’s number.

    The Anderson mansion loomed like a fortress under the moonlight, its pristine marble façade glinting ominously. The sprawling gardens surrounding it were immaculately kept, their beauty now cloaked in shadows as the night deepened. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, but the tension hanging in the air was palpable.Jackson stepped out of the black SUV parked just beyond the gates, his heavy boots crunching against the gravel.

Sebastian sat at the head of the long mahogany table, his sharp features etched with anticipation. Around him, the inner circle of the Tree Symbol House sat silently, their faces illuminated by the massive flat-screen television mounted on the wall.
