Hii guys
꧁༺ 𝓒𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓻𝓪 ༻꧂ /Author
Let get started
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(answering, her tone sharp)📱:What is it?
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
📱: (panicked, her voice shaking)Zaira, you need to get back to the office. Now.
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
📱:(hesitating)Because someone broke in. They were looking for the file you pulled from Valtieri’s system. And…they’re still here.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱: (her heart sinking)Did you call security?
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
📱: I tried, but the cameras went dark. Zaira, whoever it is—they’re not ordinary thieves.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱: (gritting her teeth)Stay put. I’m on my way.
She ends the call, her mind racing. As she speeds back toward her office, she can’t shake the feeling that everything is spiraling out of control. She doesn’t believe in fate—but the shadows closing in around her feel inescapable.
Back at the office, the lights are dim, the air thick with tension. Zaira steps out of the elevator cautiously, her heels echoing on the marble floor. The door to her office is ajar, a faint glow spilling out into the hallway. She moves silently, her pulse hammering in her ears. Inside, a figure stands by her desk, his back to her. He’s tall, broad-shouldered, and unmistakable.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(coldly)I don’t recall inviting you here, Zeph.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(Zeph turns slowly, his expression calm but deadly serious.) This wasn’t my doing.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(scoffing)Of course it wasn’t. You just happen to show up wherever chaos follows.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(stepping closer, his voice firm)You’re in over your head, Zaira. You think you can handle this, but you have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(snapping)Then stop talking in riddles and tell me!
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(Zeph steps close enough that she can feel the heat of his presence. His voice lowers, his tone almost intimate.)You don’t trust me. I get that. But if you want to survive what’s coming, you’ll have to.
Zaira glares at him, her breathing unsteady. His words ignite something in her—anger, defiance, and something darker, something she refuses to name. But before she can respond, the lights flicker, and the faint sound of footsteps echoes in the hallway outside.)
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(his voice dropping to a whisper)Stay behind me.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(whispering fiercely)I don’t take orders from you.
But before she can argue further, the door slams shut behind them. They’re not alone anymore.)
