"You can trust me—with anything. Especially the things that keep you up at night."

Leah meant every word. She wasn’t pretending. She genuinely cared about Violet—and more and more, she treated her like a younger sister, with gentle warmth and protective respect.

But what Leah didn’t realize was that Violet saw things differently. The kindness, the protectiveness, the gentle way Leah looked out for her—it wasn’t just professional to Violet. It felt personal. It felt like something... more.

To Violet, Leah wasn’t just her bodyguard. She was someone who’d stepped into her life and filled a space she hadn’t even realized was empty.

"Do you really mean that, Purple?"

Violet's voice trembled. She didn’t pull away from Leah’s embrace. Her tear-streaked face stayed tucked against Leah’s chest.

"I’ve never lied to you. I mean it, Miss," Leah said softly.

There wasn’t a hint of suspicion in her voice. To her, it was just a normal question.

"You sure? You won’t get mad—no matter what I say or do

    Smooch!Violet crashed her lips against Leah’s again, her eyes blazing as she stared at her bodyguard with a wild, reckless smile.Leah’s eyes flew wide open. Her whole body froze. Shock hit her like a lightning bolt, leaving her paralyzed as Violet kissed her a second time.“M-Miss… Miss Richmond…”Still stunned, Leah gently tried to push her away. Her brain screamed that this wasn’t what she meant. This wasn’t what she wanted.“Please…”But Violet clung to her tightly. Leah’s hands moved to her waist, trying to create distance—yet somehow, the gesture only seemed to fuel the fire inside Violet even more.“You really know how to turn me on, sweetheart,” Violet whispered, her voice low and sultry.She pulled Leah even closer, her lips hungrily seeking another kiss.Smooch. Smooch. Smooch.Each kiss was hot, desperate. Violet kissed like a woman possessed. Maybe she’d never done this before—but that only made her reckless, letting raw instinct take over. Her entire body moved on its ow

    Back to the present.“No way! How could she possibly know about that?!”Leah couldn’t stop asking herself that question, her eyes fixed on the goblin woman in front of her. She had never told anyone about it—not a soul—and she was absolutely certain no one had ever caught her with Violet.But this goblin?“You shouldn’t speak about things you know nothing about,” the goblin said, her tone cold.Leah’s mouth was slightly open, frozen in shock. She still hadn’t recovered enough to speak when the goblin continued.“I don’t care if you think you or humans in general are better than us. But I won’t tolerate mockery or insults—especially the kind you just threw.”“I—I didn’t mean—”Leah tried to explain herself, to say she hadn’t meant it as an insult. But the words stuck in her throat. And even if she did explain, would this goblin believe her?Mocking someone—whether it’s a joke or not—is never just harmless. It wounds.Meanwhile, seeing the tension spark between Leah and Grizelda, Mya re

    "Are we safe now?"Leah asked, glancing at Mya as the last of the goblin horde finally disappeared into the distance."Hmm."Mya gave a slight nod, saying nothing more.Out there in the tall grass, the two of them could finally breathe. No more goblins surrounding them, no more immediate danger.It looked like a relief. Like a win.They hadn't even needed to lift a finger to escape.But for Mya, it didn’t feel like a victory at all.It felt like a crushing defeat."My whole life," Mya murmured, her voice low and heavy, "I dreamed of being Grizelda’s only partner in Cammont. I did everything I could to get Marvel out of the way... and in the end, it still wasn’t enough."Her voice trembled with grief. Her face was shadowed, not just with sadness, but deep disappointment — at herself. At her failure to earn Grizelda’s trust.If only she'd succeeded in partnering with the goblin leader, she could've commanded the thousands of goblins swarming Cammont. With that kind of power?

    Mya froze for a moment, stunned by Leah’s words.They made sense—painfully so.It was something that had never even crossed her mind before.With Grizelda's insane power, taking down someone like Marc should’ve been child’s play, right?“But...”Mya's brow furrowed deeply as she sank into thought.Still, for the first time in a while, the sadness etched into her face seemed to lift—just a little.“We know Marc isn’t at the inn,” she said slowly.The two women had double-checked—Marc wasn’t anywhere in Greencliff.And if they assumed he knew about the goblins’ arrival... well, that could only mean one thing.“With that many goblins showing up, if he really was planning to run, there’s no way he’d even think about going back to the inn. Not anytime soon, anyway.”Leah jumped in without missing a beat.“Which is exactly why it’s our job to make sure Grizelda hunts him down, no matter where he’s hiding!”Her eyes widened, a grin stretching across her face, practically vibrating with excit

    Mya and Leah hurried down the darkened street, their steps quick and determined.At first, they’d been terrified at the thought of facing Grizelda again after the goblin leader's chilling threats. But now, there was something else driving them — something stronger.Excitement."Please let this work," Mya prayed silently, her eyes locked forward, cutting through the thick night air."Because if it doesn't... I’ll never forgive myself."She cast a quick glance at Leah, the younger woman keeping pace beside her — five years her junior and yet already making life-altering decisions with reckless bravery.Leah had chosen her path: she would disappear from Violet’s life for good, cut all ties, and chase the freedom that Mya offered."If I fail her... if I fail us... I'll never be able to live with myself."Mya’s gaze lingered on Leah, feeling the weight of the trust the girl had placed in her. Leah had left behind the security and comfort of her old life, choosing instead the uncertainty of

    [Good.][Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.][Get ready and wait at the next pickup point.]Three quick messages popped up on Leah’s phone. After reading them, she grabbed her handbag and headed straight to the restaurant's restroom.Zrrrip!She yanked open the zipper on her bag and pulled out a light blue uniform—standard issue for employees of the Walenstein Bank. Next came a reddish-brown wig and a realistic-looking skin mask.First, Leah changed into the uniform, stuffing her formal outfit into the bag. She slipped on the wig, carefully tucking away her natural black hair underneath.Finally, with quick, practiced movements, she pressed the mask over her face. The transformation was seamless—like she’d done it a hundred times before.In less than five minutes, Leah’s appearance was completely different.She topped off the look with a simple cap, then tucked a pistol into the waistband of her skirt.When she stepped out of the restroom five minutes later, anyone would’ve sworn she

    "Listen carefully. Just move the money. Leave the documents and everything else alone."A strange whisper echoed louder and louder inside the two officers’ heads. It was almost like something was trying to control them. Without a second thought, the officer behind the wheel pulled their car over, parking right behind the armored van they'd been seeing. He flicked on the hazard lights, signaling the three cars behind them to stop, too.The convoy obediently pulled over. But the bank manager from Walenstein wasted no time jumping out of his sleek Benz, his face tight with suspicion."What's going on? Why the sudden stop? Why are you halting us like this?"According to the plan, they were supposed to drive straight to the capital without stopping. No vehicle swaps, no changes. The manager's unease grew as he eyed the situation."Sir, apologies," one of the officers said stiffly, pointing at the armored van ahead. "But there's been a change of plans.

    Even though Tedd's voice dripped with hatred, there was a sadness in his eyes he couldn't hide.It was hard to tell if he truly hated Leah... or if he and the rest of the Larsian crew were just using her as a scapegoat for their own frustrations.Leah was, after all, the daughter of their leader.If she couldn’t take responsibility, who else was there to blame?At least, that’s what they kept telling themselves.Leah didn’t say a word.She just stood there, silent.And without meaning to, two tears slowly slid down her cheeks.She hadn’t been lying when she said Larsian was like family to her.So hearing those words—hearing them say they were disappointed in her, that they didn’t want to see her again—hurt more than anything she could’ve imagined."I... I don’t know how to make it right," Leah rasped, her voice thick with unshed tears. "But I really am sorry."She blinked rapidly, trying to keep herself from falling apart right there in front of them. She didn’t want them thinking she

    An hour later, the van Leah was driving rolled through the gates of Duskmoor District.She kept the wheel steady, navigating the van through the deserted streets until she pulled up in front of a run-down building — the headquarters of the Larsian crew.Turning the wheel sharply, she guided the van down into the underground parking lot.Clack!The sound of the van door echoed through the dim garage as Leah hopped out and slammed it shut behind her.A wide grin lit up her face when she spotted the Larsians standing by the entrance — Tedd front and center, acting as the temporary leader while her father, Lars, recovered from his illness.At first, Leah thought they were there to welcome her back.But it didn’t take long for her to realize... something was off.None of them smiled.Instead, they stood stiffly, arms crossed, their faces twisted into scowls. The coldness in their eyes hit her like a slap."You happy now? Huh?" Tedd's voice was icy as he glared at her. "Happy that the missi
