Twisted.
I let out a slow breath.
Then-
I smiled.
Small.
Sharp.
“You really should have done more research,” I said calmly.
Jason glanced at me.
I didn’t look at him.
Because my eyes stayed locked on Emilian.
“I don’t lose.”
The mist kept rising.
The doors stayed locked.
And somewhere-
Deep inside-
I knew.
This wasn’t just a trap.
This was his test.
And he had no idea-
He was about to fail it.
The mist kept rising.

Cold.
Min.
Too controlled to be random.
Jason shifted slightly beside me, his body angling just enough to shield mine.
And that’s when I noticed it.
The screens.
Every angle.
Every feed. 1
Every camera-
Showed me.
But not him.
My eyes narrowed.
I took a step to the side, pretending to adjust my stance.
Watching.
Testing.
Nothing.
No reflection.
No movement.
No trace.
Jason was-
Invisible.
My lips parted slightly.
I leaned just enough to murmur under my breath.
“…you’re not on the cameras.”
Jason didn’t look at me.
Didn’t react outwardly.
But I felt the smallest shift in him.
“My suit,” he whispered back. “Light reflection. Bends angles… makes me disappear in most feeds.”
I blinked.
Then slowly-

I arched a brow.
want one.”
There was the faintest hint of amusement in him.
Even now.
Behind us-
the mist kept rising.
On the screen-
Emilian leaned closer.
“Speak louder, Amber,” he said, voice echoing through the room. “I didn’t catch that.”
Of course he didn’t.
Because for the first time-
He was missing something.
Someone.
I turned fully toward the camera.
Composed.
Unbothered.
And smiled.
“Well,” I said lightly, “I can’t marry you.”
A pause.
His expression didn’t change.
“Why not?” he asked.
Simple.
Direct.
Delusional.
I tilted my head slightly.
“Because,” I said, almost casually-
“I’m already married.”
Silence.
Heavy.
Jason stilled beside me.

On the screen-
Emilian didn’t react immediately.
And that-
That was the reaction.
A delay.
A fracture. 1
Then-
His smile returned.
But it wasn’t the same.
Thinner.
Sharper.
“Temporary obstacles,” he said calmly.
I let out a soft laugh.
“No,” I corrected.
“Permanent.”
His gaze darkened.
“I can fix that.”
Jason’s hand moved instantly-
finding my waist.
Pulling me closer.
Not hiding.
Claiming.
I didn’t look at him.
Didn’t need to.
Because I could feel it.
That shift in him.
That line he was about to cross.
I spoke before he could.
“You’ve been watching me for years,” I said, my tone steady. “And somehow you still don’t understand something very simple.”
Emilian said nothing.

Waiting.
I gave it to him.
“I don’t belong to anyone.”
A beat.
Then-
I added, softer.
“But I chose him.”
Jason’s grip tightened.
Not possession.
Not control.
Something deeper.
Something chosen back.
On the screen-
Emilian’s expression finally cracked.
Not fully.
But enough.
Enough to see it.
Anger.
Real.
Raw.
“You chose wrong,” he said.
I smiled.
“That’s your second mistake.”
The mist reached higher.
Thicker now.
Jason leaned in slightly, his voice low.
“He’s losing control.”
Good.
Because that meant—
He was reacting.

They make mistakes.

The mist thickened.
Not enough to choke.
Not enough to panic.
Just enough-
to distract.
I forced myself to breathe slowly.
Controlled.
