The sun had barely risen over the mountains of Valoria when Aria finally believed she could breathe.
For the first time in eighteen years, the name Jack Moretti and Sophia Ricci no longer belonged to a lie.Kael had fallen.The evidence was secured.The Black Serpent had been exposed.
And the truth about her parents was finally in the hands of people who could no longer bury it.
Aria stood beside the black SUV, holding the old photograph of her parents against her chest.
Rafael approached quietly.
"You should rest."
She looked at him.A faint smile touched her lips.
"I think I've earned one night without running."
Rafael smiled.
"You have."
He reached for her hand.But before Aria could respond—
Noah came running out of the estate.
"Rafael."
Something in his voice immediately changed the atmosphere.
Rafael turned.
"What happened?"
Noah held out a tablet.
"We have a problem."
Aria frowned.
"What kind of problem?"
Noah looked at her.
"Kael."
