Chapter: 29

Aria Delaney

I watched as Dante and Nemesis conversed, their voices low and urgent. I felt a mix of fear and hope, knowing that I was stepping into a world far more dangerous than I had ever imagined. But with Dante by my side, I felt a strange sense of security, a belief that we could overcome anything.

"Dante," I said softly, drawing his attention back to me. "Whatever happens, I trust you. I believe in you."

He smiled, a rare, genuine smile that made my heart skip a beat. "Thank you, Aria," he replied. "I won't let you down."

Nemesis cleared his throat, drawing our attention back to him. "We need to move quickly," he said. "Father won't wait long before making his next move."

"What's the plan?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

Nemesis exchanged a look with Dante before replying. "We need to gather allies. People who are loyal to us, not Father. We'll need their support if we're going to take him down."

Dante nodded in agreement. "We'll start with the people we trust the most. Alessandro, Luna, Alex. They need to be on our side."

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenges ahead. "What do we do now?"

"Now," Dante said, taking my hand in his, "we prepare for war."
