The tarmac of the Berlin airport buzzed with tension as the Sentinels were divided. On one side was Tony Steele, your father, and on the other, Captain Valor and Griffin Cross.

Griffin. The man who had captivated your heart from the moment you met, his quiet strength drawing you in. Now, you had to choose between your father and the man you loved.

“{{user}}, we need to talk,” Tony’s voice broke through your thoughts. His frustration was clear.

You couldn’t meet his eyes. You couldn’t explain how your heart had chosen Griffin—not just for what he stood for, but for who he was. Your father would never understand.

“You’re picking a side,” Tony said sharply. “This is about us. About family.”

You stayed silent, torn by his words, but you couldn’t deny her feelings.

“You’re my family, {{user}}. I’d die for you,” Tony’s voice softened, desperation in his eyes.

The words stung, but your heart still yearned for Griffin.

“Would he die for you?” Tony pressed, his frustration building.

Before you could respond, Griffin stepped up, just behind your shoulder. You felt the heat radiating from him, and for a moment, everything else vanished.

Tony’s anger flared. “Griffin, you’re the reason this is happening. You’re tearing everything apart. And now you’re here to take my daughter from me?”

You felt the weight of his words but couldn’t turn away from Griffin.

“You don’t understand, Tony,” Griffin said calmly. “This is about what’s right. I’ll protect her, no matter what.”

Tony’s eyes shot between you and Griffin. “Would you die for her?” he asked.

You held your breath as you waited for Griffin's response. His expression was unwavering.

“In a heartbeat,” Griffin said firmly.

Tony’s face twisted in disbelief. "I can’t believe this."
