Angela's POVTears threatened to spill, but I forced myself to hold them back.Just then, the bedroom door flew open.One of the tall men rushed inside, breathing hard, his face tense.Ian shot him an irritated look."What?"His voice was sharp."Did you get the food?""No, sir."The man glanced at me before turning back to Ian."We got word the police are on the move. They found this place."My chest tightened.The police...The hope that had almost died flickered back to life. Please... find me."We need to leave. Now," the man continued.Ian didn't look surprised. He simply gave a short nod before turning his attention back to me."Looks like we're relocating," he said calmly.I shook my head."I'm not going with you."Ian's jaw tightened instantly."What did you just say?"His voice was almost a growl."I said I'm not going."In two long strides, he was standing right in front of me.His hand clamped around my jaw so hard it hurt."Don't push me again, Angela."I met his gaze wit

Angela's POVI had no idea how long I'd been unconscious.Consciousness slowly returned as the faint voices drifted into my ears."Sir... if Mrs. Bennett finds out about this, she won't approve."Another voice answered."I don't need her approval."A few seconds of silence followed."Now leave. And don't ever question my orders again.""Yes, sir."I heard footsteps retreating.A door opened, then quietly shut.I forced my eyes open.My vision was still blurry.The first thing I saw once everything came into focus was Ian Bennett.He sat in a chair a few feet away, watching me in silence.My heart nearly stopped.I tried to move, but I couldn't.Panic slammed into me as I realized both my wrists and ankles were tied down."What did you do to me?" I shouted, my voice shaking. "Where am I?"My eyes darted around the room.It was small and almost em

Angela's POVIt had been over a month since I left Los Angeles.When I left that city, I also left behind the life I'd been building as an actress.The hate never really stopped.Every now and then, I'd open my social media, only to find another wave of cruel comments flooding my screen.Somewhere along the way, though, it stopped hurting.Then one morning, a headline froze me in place.Evelyn Found Dead. Ian Bennett Named Prime Suspect.According to the report, Ian had disappeared before the police could arrest him. He was now a wanted fugitive."Angela."Beth's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I quickly locked my phone and set it on the coffee table.For the past month, Beth had stayed with me.I'd lost count of how many times I'd told her she didn't have to, but she always refused to leave me alone.We were living in a small town outside Eureka, tucked away in Northern California.Our rental house wasn't anything fancy, but it was quiet."I'm heading to the grocery store," Beth

Aaron's POVThe clock in the corner of my study read 12:47 a.m.I was finishing the last page of a report when my phone, lying on the desk, vibrated.A text message.Can we meet?I stared at the sender's name for a few seconds.Finally.I replied with a single message.Tomorrow morning. Same place.***The next morning, my black sedan rolled to a stop on a deserted street.The sun had barely risen. A thin layer of fog drifted between rows of industrial buildings that had yet to come to life.I glanced at my watch.Right on time.A few seconds later, a man dressed entirely in black, his face hidden beneath a baseball cap, approached the car.He opened the passenger door and climbed in.The door clicked shut behind him.He reached into his pocket, pulled out a USB flash drive, and placed it on the center console."I hope you keep your promise."I picked

Ian's POVSeveral days passed.Every morning, headlines about Evelyn still dominated the front pages. The police issued statement after statement to the press, but no one had any real answers yet.I read every single article.They were all just guessing.Not one of them came close to the truth.For now, Evelyn's death was still being treated as a possible accident while the investigation remained ongoing.Good.I leaned back in my chair.As long as they kept looking in the wrong direction, I had nothing to worry about.I'd also instructed Ashton to erase every trace that could connect me to the case.Tonight, my grandfather would announce the new leader of the company.Once everything was finally in my hands, no one would be bold enough to stand in my way.Especially anyone still trying to dig into Evelyn's death.That evening, I arrived at the venue.The building's grand lobby had been transformed into an extravagant ballroom for Bennett Corporation's seventy-fifth anniversary celebr

Ian's POV"Evelyn."I called her name again.Still nothing.A cold feeling settled in my gut. Something was wrong.I dropped to one knee beside her."Evelyn."I grabbed her shoulder and shook her hard."Wake up."Her body hung limp beneath my hand.No response.I pressed two fingers against the side of her neck.Nothing.I checked her wrist.Still no pulse.My eyes stayed fixed on her face.For a moment...My mind went completely blank.Then I pulled my phone from my pocket and hit the first number on my speed dial.The call connected on the second ring."Mr. Bennett?""Ashton."My voice came out low and steady."I need you at my apartment.""Now."***Less than twenty minutes later, the apartment door swung open, and Ashton hurried inside."Sir..."The word died in his throat the moment he
