Song:
Something's Gotta Give - Camila Cabello

Loving you, I thought I couldn't get no higher
Your November rain could set the night on fire
Night on fire
But we could only burn so long
Counterfeit emotions only run skin deep
Know you're lying, when you're lying next to me
Next to me
How did we get so far gone?

I should know by now
You should know by now
We should know by now

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta break
But all I do is give
And all you do is take

Something's gotta change
But I know that it won't
No reason to stay is a good reason to go
Is a good reason to go, oh-oh, mmh-mmm

I have never heard a silence quite so loud
I walk in the room and you don't make a sound
Make a sound

You're good at making me feel small
If it doesn't hurt me, why do I still cry?
If it didn't kill me, then I'm half alive
Half alive
How did we get so far gone?

I should know by now
You should know by now
We should know by now

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta break
But all I do is give
And all you do is take

Something's gotta change
But I know that it won't
No reason to stay is a good reason to go
Is a good reason to go

I should know by now
You should know by now
I think I'm breaking right now

I should know by now
You should know by now
I think I'm breaking right now

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta break
All I do is give
And all you do is take

Something's gotta change (Something's gotta change)
But I know that it won't (I know that it won't)
No reason to stay is a good reason to go
Is a good reason to go
Something's gotta give

When we have each other, we have everything...

Author's POV:

The night was cold and silent, the stars barely visible through the thick cover of clouds that seemed to swallow the moonlight whole. Damien's jaw tightened as he stood with Caedan, both men cloaked in the darkness, their hearts heavy with the weight of what they were about to do. They exchanged a silent nod before splitting up—Caedan leading a group of guards to capture Caius, while Damien, with a few trusted men, would find and rescue Evy.

Inside the mansion, the air was thick with tension. Caius sat in his home office, a glass of whiskey in hand, as he brooded over his plans. Unbeknownst to him, his reign of terror was about to come to an abrupt end. Caedan's team moved swiftly, overpowering Caius's guards with silent precision. The chaos in the mansion was muffled, and Caius barely noticed the intrusion until it was too late. He turned to find himself staring down the barrels of several guns, Caedan leading the charge with cold determination.

Meanwhile, Damien moved through the mansion with purpose, his heart pounding in his chest. He had to find Evy. The urgency in his steps grew with each passing moment, his mind racing with thoughts of what Caius might have done to her. The house was eerily quiet, the only sound the faint creak of the floorboards under his boots.
