Hii guys

Let get started
Zaira’s breath catches, her pulse quickening. She hates the way his words crawl under her skin, the way his presence seems to pull at something deep inside her. She turns away, trying to regain control.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(sharply)This is ridiculous. I’m not some pawn in a cosmic game. I control my own fate.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(chuckling darkly)You keep telling yourself that.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(whirling on him)Do you enjoy this? Playing the mysterious, all-knowing mafia king?
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(stepping closer, his voice dropping)What I enjoy is watching you fight it. That fire in you—it’s why you survive, Zaira. It’s why you’ve always survived. But fire can’t outrun the wind.
Zaira feels her anger boil over. She’s about to retort when her phone buzzes on the desk. She snatches it up, her brows furrowing as she sees Vespera’s name.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱:(answering)Ves?
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
📱: (panicked, her voice trembling)Zaira, it’s the servers. They’ve been breached. Someone’s trying to wipe everything—Dorian’s file, all of it.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
📱: (her heart racing)Shut it down. Lock everything.
Vespera Asteris/FL assistant
📱: I’m trying, but they’re inside our firewalls. Whoever this is, they’re good.
Zaira hangs up, turning to Zeph.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
This is him, isn’t it?
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(nodding)Dorian’s never been one for subtlety.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(grabbing her laptop from the desk)Then we stop him.
Zephyrus Valtieri/Night Reaper/ML
(raising an eyebrow)You can’t out-hack Dorian Verick.
Zaira Veyrin/FL
(glaring)Watch me.
She sits at her desk, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she works to counter the breach. Zeph watches her silently for a moment, then moVes to stand behind her, his presence looming.
