By the time it was midday, the sun had warmed every corner of the estate. Light spilled in through tall windows, touching old portraits and fresh flowers. Liam was in the nursery, staring at Zion like he was the only thing that mattered in the world. Just then, the door clicked open, and Mia walked in slowly. When she saw them, she smiled. “He’s finally asleep again,” she whispered.Liam chuckled quietly. “That’s the third time in an hour.”“Fourth,” she corrected with a tired smile. “I counted.”He came over and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “You’re amazing, you know that?” He said and kissed her shoulder lightly.Mia leaned her head back into his chest. “So are you.”They stood like that for a while, just taking in each other’s warmth and reflecting on their journey. For a moment, neither of them believed they would be standing where they were now with each other. Now the war was over, and their family was blessed with a son. “I’ve been
Little Steps, Big World
The next morning came with a breeze that carried the scent of blooming magnolias. The city could finally breathe easily. There were no gunshots, no marching boots. Just the hum of life returning. At the Stevens estate, the air was still, except for the soft rustling of linen curtains and the quiet cooing of a newborn in his crib.Mia stirred awake first, and her arms instinctively reached out to Zion’s crib, only to find it already empty. She panicked and sat up, searching around but just then the bedroom door creaked open. Liam stepped in barefoot, wearing a plain shirt and sweatpants with Zion tucked gently in his arms. “Hey,” he whispered. “Didn’t mean to wake you.”Mia’s face softened and she exhaled in relief. “You didn’t. I just… instinct.”He walked over, and sat beside her on the bed. “He woke up before dawn. Just stared at the ceiling like he was thinking about saving the world.”Mia giggled as she took Zion into her arms. “He’s one day old, Liam.”“Still smarter than me,” Li
Peace, Finally
The early morning sky glowed softly, the birds chirped, and for once, the city was quiet. There were no sirens, explosions, or just the bustling sounds of people going about their day. Just a slow sunrise crawling over the skyline like a promise. It was as if everybody in the city had the same idea and just decided to have a slow morning.Inside the Stevens estate, everything was still and ordinary until Mia screamed.“Push, Mia, one more!” the midwife urged.Liam gripped her hand tightly and held it close to his chest. His other hand wiped sweat from her forehead. “You’re doing amazing. I’m right here.”Mia gritted her teeth and let out another cry, her face pale but fierce. The pain tore through her, but she bore through it and with one final breath, she pushed, and the next minute, the room was filled with the piercing sound of a newborn’s cry.“It’s a boy!” the midwife exclaimed, lifting the baby and quickly wrapping him in a soft blanket. “Do you want to take a look at him?” She
The Truth
The night sky was still thick with the smoke from the battle and blinking lights throughout the safe house. Liam stood on the roof, staring out at the burning wreckage of Vaughn’s attack. The city had bled enough. But still the war wasn’t over, not until Vaughn was in chains or dead.Vaughn had disappeared again after he escaped his shot. This was turning into some sick game for him, and this time, Liam was ready to play. Suddenly, footsteps echoed behind him. Jack appeared, his clothes torn, with a gash across his cheek, but his eyes were as sharp as ever.“They’re cornered in the east corridor. Vaughn’s in there,” Jack said, breathing heavily. “He’s not going to make it easy.”Liam turned to him slowly with a mischievous smile. “Nothing worth saving ever is.”Then he started walking, brushed past him then stopped and turned. “Let’s go.”They descended into the lower levels of the safe house, moving through charred halls and broken walls. Laura and her team held the perimeter, guardi
The Final Siege
The night sky burned red. From the moment Vaughn’s forces breached the outer zone, the city was no longer safe. Streets that were once patrolled by Liam’s allies were now overrun by rogue Tribunal enforcers, hired thugs, and old loyalists Vaughn had secretly gathered. It wasn’t just an attack, it was a declaration that he wasn’t done yet.Just as Liam had expected, Vaughn was finally striking back. This time, he wasn’t hiding behind the Tribunal to do it. He was showing Liam that he didn’t need them to take over the city.Inside the mansion, alarms blared and Liam’s guards rushed across the hallways, shouting into radios and securing every section of the building. Jack stood at the center of it all, barking orders.“Secure the east wing! I want eyes on the perimeter, now!”Mia clutched the side railing of the staircase, her breath coming in short. She could hear distant gunfire, and people screaming as their bodies hit the floor. But it wasn’t just the fear clawing at her, it was the
Lines Drawn
The rain came down hard that evening. It was the kind of rain that made the streets shine like glass and drowned the noise of the city. Inside the newly established oversight council headquarters, Liam stood by the window, watching people rush beneath umbrellas. He looked calm, but he wasn’t completely calm. “I don’t trust it,” Jack muttered, arms crossed behind him. “The air’s too still lately. Either they’re planning something, or we’ve missed something.”“The Tribunal has been too quiet, and that cannot be a good thing. I know Ainsley said he was going to talk to them, but they won’t just give up control of the city completely like this, would they?” He asked, shifting his gaze back to Liam.Liam didn’t answer immediately. His fingers tapped against the glass and then he raised them to his hair, combing it softly,“They won’t take this lying down,” Liam finally said. “The Tribunal may be crumbling, but the ones left behind, the ones that are still holding firm to their ideals and
