Chapter: Tangled Fate“Well, hello, Dave. Hello, Bella. It’s nice to finally meet you… like this,” a male voice rang out with unmissable amusement. His voice oozed mischief, and one didn’t need a name tag to guess — it had to be Morgan.“Hi, Bella,” said a girl with a gentle, open smile. Her warmth was genuine — that was Sandra.A warmer, softer voice greeted her with a gentler "Hello." Ben.Bella said a subdued "Hi" into Dave's chest, pressing deeper into the fabric of his shirt as her own heart thudded like a war drum. She could not make herself lift her eyes to any of them. Dave's chest rose beneath her cheek, his laughter gentle but reassuring“Sugar,” he whispered, his voice deep and amused, “are you ever going to come out and meet everyone properly?”Bella shook her head quickly, eyes still shut. There was too much to process — too many strangers, too many eyes. But in a sudden gesture, Dave's soft, commanding hand went to her head, his palm cupping her crown with a gentle pressure. He drew her in, pr

Chapter: Tangled HeartsBella's lips opened, and her eyelids closed as Dave kissed her. The kiss began soft and gentle but intensified as he deepened it, burning them with a burst of energy. His hand around her waist held her pressed against him, and her fingers pushed against his smooth hair. Her heart raged, begging to burst forth from her chest.They pulled away at the same time, gasping for air, their gazes fixed, and breathing hard. Bella tiptoed for more, and Dave eagerly leaned down to capture her lips again.Their lips moved together, urgency building. Dave's tongue found entrance into her mouth, their tongues tangling and teasing. His kiss intoxicated her."Sugar," he moaned. His mouth traveled down her jaw and neck. She rolled her hips, and he growled.He pulled his face out of hers, gasping for breath. She sensed his thumping heart next to hers. Her hair was mussed, her lips puffy, red-looking. Longings scrambled his brain when he saw her."Good heavens," he gasped, running his hands through rump

Chapter: His to Claim"You are mine," Marcus said, his breath warm against her skin.A wave of panic swept over her. No. Not now. Not in this way.“Stop!” she exclaimed, fighting desperately.Her defiance only appeared to arouse him even more. His lips clung to her neck, his hold intensifying.Then—boom!The force of the blow threw Marcus backward. He collided with the other wall and collapsed to the floor.A murmur spread among the assembled students.Dave loomed above him, his face giving nothing away. His eyes were jet black, unsettlingly void of spirit, and his posture exuded primal, perilous strength. The air in the corridor grew heavy, electrified by his rage.Bella’s heart raced.Dave bent down, his hand grasping around Marcus’s neck. With ease, he raised him from the ground. Marcus gasped for breath, his arm dangling loosely.Three hybrids navigated through the crowd. Morgan and Ben grabbed Marcus, holding onto his shoulders and arms.

Chapter: Stolen GlancesSunlight streamed in the window in the morning when Bella was standing in front of the mirror and evaluating her appearance. Something was wrong. Her skin was softer, glowing as if it had been kissed with moonlight. Her brown eyes were no longer dull. They were mesmerizing, hypnotic, and more radiant. Her eyelashes were longer, outlining them with deep, rich curves, and her eyebrows developed a stunning arch, dramatic yet subtle. Even her fuller, redder lips were glossy as if she had just wet them.She stroked her hair, enjoying the way the curls fell in a way never before, darker than ever, flashing light in hypnotic waves. Her body also altered, subtly, noticeably different. Her waist was more defined, hips more curvy, bust promising cleavage she never did before. Her jeans did not fit in the same manner before, the waistband a closer band than she was ever accustomed to.What's wrong with her?A frown tugged at the edge of her lip.

Chapter: Marked against WillBella's stomach twisted as she entered the house and half-packed boxes scattered everywhere in the living room caught her eye. Some were tidily stacked and arranged for the move, but most of their belongings were still in their original positions. Her chest sank with a feeling of falling. Her mom had taken extra effort—packed and planned—but something was amiss. Too hurried. Too excited.She walked in the direction of the kitchen, hoping her mother would be rapidly filling up more, but instead discovered her sitting at the old wooden table, blankly staring out of the window. A steaming mug of tea rested in her hands, undrunk. The atmosphere surrounding her was thick and nearly oppressive."Mom?" Bella called softly.Her mother's eyes closed hard for a moment before she swung around to Bella, wearing a fake smile that did not touch her eyes. "Wow, you have returned."The forced cheerfulness in her tone sent danger signals racing through Bella's mind. Something was amiss."Mom, is somet

Chapter: Soul TiesAndy bolted out of the room, his exit swift and desperate. No one could blame him. If she had the choice, Bella would have done the same. But that option wasn’t hers anymore.Morgan slapped Dave reassuringly on the back, his face unreadable, and Sandra smiled uncertainly, knowingly at Bella as she departed. Ben stood longer, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. His slow, widening smile was close to being lazy and untroubled. Winking roguishly, he clouted Dave on the back and departed, leaving Bella and Dave in solitude.The silence hung heavy and oppressive."Hi," Bella growled cautiously, smoothing the hem of her blouse into position.Dave didn't say anything. He just stood there, his intense eyes burning her.He was beautiful today. Dark wash jeans. A black T that hugged his body like a second skin. A cool leather jacket, scuffed just enough to give the impression he didn't care. His dark, rich hair, perpetually slightly undone in an intentional but careless way, accentuated his shar

Chapter: Chapter 111It was twenty past eleven when Jack arrived at 52 Forsythe Avenue. He turned the engine off. "Let's go," he said to Sam, opening the door.Sam followed him up the old building stairs. The suave cohesion of jazz drifted in through an open window from somewhere above them. There was a string next door, their voices blending into undistinguishable blasphemy.Jack hovered outside Mike Freeway's apartment and pulled his coat collar up. "This guy is going to make a statement," he whispered. “Get it down.”“Yes, sir,” Sam replied, his notebook already out.Jack pressed the bell.Sam heard the rustle of footsteps and the scrape of a chair during the brief silence. The door opened, and Mike Freeway stood with a wet sponge over his swollen right eye.He glared from Jack to Sam, a flush of embarrassment creeping into his eyes. "Ah… it's you.""Aye," Jack snarled, elbowing him aside and into the room. "You're still alive, I notice."Freeway paused before stepping aside. "I said earlier, Lieutenan

Chapter: Chapter 110Darcy's and Kelz's voices came to Kelvin distinctly as he clung to the side of the cruiser, but it took him a few seconds to understand what was about to be done with Sean.They were going to kill him—and dump him into the river.The discovery froze Kelvin's veins. He had the taste of rust and fear on his lips. Sean was no longer a stupid fool—he was Kelvin's final thread of hope. How could he ever show that he was not Evelyn's killer if Sean drowned at the river bottom? The evidence already whispered his name. It would start screaming it if Sean were dead.He clenched his teeth, the bitter cold shock of awareness gnawing at his gut. Save Sean. Bring him on shore. Hand him over to Jack. That was the only way out—the last ruse in a deck that had turned against him.But the threat of standing up to Kelz—a muscle-bound, hard-looking menace turned his stomach inside out. Kelvin had an idea of his own limitations. He was no fighter. He was a man who'd rather get what he wanted with his mou

Chapter: Chapter 109Banky took hold of the rope Darcy extended to him and stabilized the motorboat as Darcy jumped aboard.The air was heavy with salt and hush, silence that clung to your skin and waited to burst if anyone breathed too hard. Darcy's face was cut out of rock, but his jaw loosened like a storm within him would not let up. Banky watched him nervously as the older man adjusted his coat in small, tidy motions."Is Kelz here?" Darcy asked abruptly, his voice gentle but authoritative."Yes, boss," Banky replied, still doubting Darcy had gone himself to drop off the motorboat rather than send someone else to drop it off for him. There was something in that decision that just did not ring true, even hazardous."Where is he?"Banky gestured towards the shadows at the rear deck. Kelz appeared, struggling with his shirt buttons, obviously woken from a fitful sleep. His jaw was rough, stubbled, eyes, but when he saw Darcy, the fatigue was forgotten."I want you," Darcy stated decisively.Kelz descend

Chapter: Chapter 108Jack pushed open the door to the charge room before heading to his office, and the smell of damp uniforms and old coffee drifted out. He moved through the room, his eyes hungry and watchful.“Anything new?” His voice carried the weight of expectation.The desk sergeant stiffened. “The Commissioner and the Captain are on their way over, sir. Holland hasn’t been picked up yet. Detective Brooks and a couple of men are waiting at his house. Sergeant Sanders just came in—waiting for the Commissioner.”Jack’s jaw flexed. “I’ll be in my office if the Commissioner wants me.”“Yes, sir. Nothing else that’d interest you.” The sergeant hesitated, eyes darting down to his report sheet. “Except… J. Cole’s in trouble. Picked up ten minutes ago on a vacant lot in Spring Street. Beaten badly. Our men say he might not make it. Whoever hit him didn’t hold back.”Jack froze for half a beat, Drew’s words replaying in his mind. J. Cole had told Sean where to find Evelyn Chase.

Chapter: Chapter 107Darcy had never been the type to send troublemakers away in the past, but he had let the world go by the last three years without that hard edge he once brought to the table. He should have gotten out of the way and let Kelz finish off Cole instead of jumping into it and letting the fight end. Now, gazing upon what was standing in front of him, he noticed that weakness was something he could not indulge.The murder of Evelyn Chase had roused the ideal storm. Ben Avery would exploit every angle for political gain, he knew. Someone in Avery’s camp would remember Sean Harris’s threat to Evelyn, the familial connection to Sandra, and pressure would inevitably reach Commissioner Cruz to find Sean. AndDarcy understood Sean as well as anyone could—once he became family, Sean would be after money, position, influence. This was the time to act.Darcy exhaled cigar smoke, the ring in the chill of the night air, and piloted his black sedan down the curved driveway to the Country Club. The month

Chapter: Chapter 106Two months passed. Lilian stared at the pregnancy test in horror, following the faint double pink lines with her eyes. Her hand trembled as she took a second test, but again it was the same—pregnant. Pregnant with Daniel's child.Her knees became weak. The air in her room was thick, filled. For weeks, her life had been a torment. She was a pariah—gossip down the hallway, sidelong glances in her direction at school, sneering giggles with stabs of sound. At home, there was merely silence, the most lethal weapon of all. They knew what happened between her and her aunt's husband. They would not believe she was angry, inebriated, or insane. They could only perceive what they wanted to see: the woman who had seduced a married man.She bore the mark by herself. Aunt Clara had cut her out, pronouncing her dead to her. Her grandfather denied her her allowance, a deafening punishment that bellowed louder than words. The family, which once protected her, kept her at arm's length as contagion. Ev
