The next morning, as soon as I came downstairs. I saw Samson sitting alone in the dining
room.
My steps slowed instinctively. When our eyes met, a strange nervousness bubbled up inside
I took a deep breath, forcing myself to act normal. “Morning!”
Samson looked up at me. His expression was a little softer than usual. “Morning.”
I pulled out a chair and sat across from him, glancing at the breakfast spread-it was all my favorite foods.
My fingers curled unconsciously, and Grandpa’s words from last night flashed through my mind-Mephisto’s scheming and sabotage were problems I had to handle.
Then there was my relationship with Samson. We were each other’s destined mates, but I couldn’t tell him yet. I had to deal with Mephisto first, get rid of all the threats, and only then could I explain everything to Samson without worry.
I ate a few bites absentmindedly before Samson’s voice interrupted my thoughts. “Richard and Sibley asked me to tell you they had something to take care of and left early. They said they’ll visit again soon.”
I wasn’t surprised. Grandpa and Grandma were always like that-never dragging things out. I just nodded and set my utensils down. “I’m done I’ll head to school.”
“Wait.” Samson stopped me. “I’ll drive you.”
I nodded, walking slowly ahead while he followed right beside me.
We left the house together, one after another. The car ride was mostly quiet, but it didn’t feel
awkward.
As soon as we reached the entrance to the classroom building, my phone started buzzing in my pocket.
I took it out. The red alert dot on the screen was flashing-it was the emergency signal Theo and I had agreed on, meant to be used only when something major happened.
My heart dropped. I answered the call right away. “What’s going on?”

Theo’s voice was full of panic. “Boss, someone’s tacking our firewall! They’ve broken through the fourth layer, and if they get through the fifth, our core data will be exposed!”
“What happened? Who are we up against?” My voice went cold as I spoke, my feet already carrying me toward the school gate.
“No idea, they’re too cunning. By the time I noticed something was off, they’d already made it through three layers.” Theo sounded frustrated. “Boss, you need to get over here now! I’m on the 16th floor at Skyspire Tower. Our tech team can’t hold them off much longer!”
I hung up and sprinted out of the gate, hailing a cab straight to Skyspire Tower.
On the way, I worked my phone as fast as I could while mentally running through all the possibilities-whoever could attack my defense system at this timing was almost certainly
Mephisto.
Grandpa and Grandma’s visit to Eclipse Pack must have gotten back to him. He was getting nervous and wanted to send a message, or maybe he was after information that he could use as leverage against me.
But then I frowned. That didn’t make sense. I knew Mephisto’s abilities-there was no way his hacking skills were this good.
There had to be someone else backing him up.
Who would even want to partner with Mephisto and come after me? That question kept running through my mind, making me even more cautious.
When I reached the 16th floor of Skyspire Tower, the place was already in chaos.
Theo was standing at the main computer, directing the tech team to fight back against the attack.
Everyone was sweating, their fingers flying across keyboards, but it still wasn’t enough to slow the enemy down.
“Boss, thank god you’re here!” Theo called out the moment he saw me, relief all over his face, “Everyone, listen up! No matter what, we have to hold them off! Hang in there for 15 more minutes while Boss sets up a counterattack!”
I didn’t waste words. I sat down at an empty computer.
Actually, I’d already tried tracing the attacker’s location on my way over, but their counter- surveillance was top-notch. Plus, my phone just wasn’t enough for such complicated work, so they managed to cover their tracks before I could catch them.
My fingers hit the keyboard, the clacking sounds drowning out the noise around me.
