Chapter 66: A Game of Power and Consequences

Aurora paced the length of her room, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. She had spent years fighting against shadows, always staying ahead of those who sought to control her. But now, standing in the center of a lavish penthouse that was not her own, she found herself tangled in something far more dangerous—Logan Mason.

She had expected him to forget about her, to move on with his glamorous life as a celebrity, but instead, he had pulled her back in, offering her the role of his personal bodyguard. It was supposed to be just a job—protection in exchange for a paycheck—but why did it feel like something more?

A sharp knock on her door interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in," she called.

Logan entered, his presence commanding as always. Dressed in a sleek black suit, his hair slightly tousled, he looked every bit the movie star. But there was something different about him tonight—an intensity in his gaze that sent a chill down her spine.
