From Nemises To Lovers

The war with Titan was over.

But standing in the aftermath, Isabella realized something winning the fight was one thing. Figuring out what came next? That was another battle entirely.

Claire tapped her fingers against the table. "So, what now?"

Damian leaned back in his chair, smirking. "I say we celebrate. Maybe somewhere warm, with drinks that come in coconuts."

Isabella let out a small laugh, but her mind was elsewhere.

Alexander watched her carefully before speaking. "I have an idea."

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

He stepped closer, his voice steady. "We've spent years taking things down exposing corruption, bringing down powerful people. What if we built something instead?"

Claire leaned in. "Go on…"

Alexander's eyes never left Isabella's. "We have skills, resources, and contacts. We could start something new. Something that makes a difference."

Damian whistled. "You're talking about a real organization."

Alexander nodded. "One that doesn't just react to corruption but prevents it before it starts."

A Crossroad

Silence stretched as Isabella processed his words.

For so long, her life had been about revenge, survival, and outmaneuvering her enemies.

But now?

Now, she had a choice.

She met Alexander's gaze. "You really think we could do this?"

He smirked. "We've already done the impossible once."

A slow smile spread across her lips. Maybe it was time to stop looking back and start looking forward.

And for the first time in a long time, she was excited to see what came next.
