Even inside the dark web, where hackers had no lines, morals, and limits, Tilda clung to those three rules.

That was why she rose above the rest as the queen of hackers.

She would never burn her principles for hate.

If she did, she would lose everything that mattered.

Nothing she did after that could ever patch things back up.

The hospital room went quiet like the air had been sucked out.

Kyla’s heart dropped the hardest.

Excuse me?

What the hell is this?

She had been happy when she saw Dominic and Blair safe.

Then Dominic opened his mouth and said it was Tilda who saved them.

Everyone believed him.

No one even tried to argue.

You can’t fucking believe him, can you? That’s obviously bullshit nonsense!

Kyla’s chest burned with rage. The useless Tilda pulled that off? No way in hell that’s true.

That was something even the best in the country could not manage.

If that was true, then Kyla’s place in the family was crumbling fast.

If she talked about leaving again and asked for Tilda to take her spot, the family would not fight it like before.

Shit. That’s probably true.

The Jensons were shifting.

They were turning into Tilda’s family instead of hers.

Fear pressed into Kyla until she could hardly breathe.

She needed a plan.

After Dominic finished his tale, the air in the ward turned thick.

Every breath felt like it weighed too much.

When the moment came, Kayden and Justin slipped out into the hallway for relief.

Justin struck a flame and lit a cigarette.

He held the pack out.

“You want one?”

Yeah.”

The duo barely smoked.

But Kayden stayed silent. Justin had no way to push.

His thoughts were already twisted with the song played by the one he once longed for and the pain Dominic and Blair had endured.

“Justin. Kayden.”

Santiago walked up the hall.

The brothers dropped their cigarettes at once.

“Santiago, where is everyone?”

“Howard and Wade are with Dominic. Mom has Dad with her.”

He stopped close. “Got another? I need one.”

They handed one to Santiago in silence.

So on January second, three brothers stood outside Endralsia’s hospital with smoke rising in silence.

“To be real, the first time I met Tilda, I hated her.

“What she did made no sense. She tore into the family. She broke the family company. She hurt more people than I could count.

“And she dumped her anger on us even though we had no part in it.”

“Santiago, stop.

“Don’t make her look like the villain.” Kayden cut in fast, thinking the hate still sat inside him.

“No, listen. Justin. Kayden. There’s more.

“I fought Tilda once, in that underground arcade. She beat me.”
