CHAPTER 62 — THE ENEMY WHO WATCHES IN THE DARK
Night settled over the Kane mansion like a veil—thick, heavy, and humming with unspoken threats. Even the air felt different, tighter against Elena's skin, as though the walls themselves knew danger was creeping closer.
Adrian had hardly let go of her since the photograph arrived—the image taken from the shadows, the note that chilled her, the confirmation that an old enemy of the Kane family had resurfaced and marked her as the first target.
Elena wasn't naïve anymore. She knew that this was no coincidence… this was a message. A warning. A declaration.
Someone wanted her gone.
Someone who believed she was Adrian's greatest vulnerability.
And tonight, the mansion was no longer a home.
It was a battlefield waiting for the first strike.
