DOMINICFuck. This was not happening.My heart did a double backflip as I turned my head and saw her lying next to me. The pounding hangover that had been pulsing through my skull disappeared replaced with ice-cold, steel-hard panic. Eliza. What in the hell was she doing here?How could this have happened? My mind was racing to piece together last night's events. It had started out normal enough: a meet-up with my buddies, some drinks, some laughs. But beyond that? Nothing. My memory was a black void.I stared at her, incredulity twisting my gut. This wasn't some nobody; this was Eliza, the same woman who'd broken out of prison a few days ago. Now she was here, in bed with me. Naked."Relax," she said, her voice oozing nonchalance, as if she hadn't just turned my world on its axis."Relax?" My voice came out hoarse, tight with the effort to keep from shouting. "Are you out of your fucking mind?"She shrugged, a lazy smile playing on her lips. It made my blood boil.I sat up, yanking t

ELIZAThere was one place in particular that Dominic would go to after work. It wasn't flashy, but it had just the right balance of privacy and exclusiveness for him to meet clients, hold casual discussions, or simply unwind before heading home. More often than not, he would pick up something on his way out for his pathetic little wife, playing the role of doting husband.I smiled to myself, my fingers drumming lightly against the steering wheel as I watched from across the street. The familiarity of his routine made him predictable. Easy to track. If Alex didn't want me, then fine. I'd make Dominic want me. He was the bigger prize anyway—more money, more influence. And, unlike Alex, he wasn't tangled up in some stupid emotional mess with Raina.I leaned back in my seat, the reflections of the streetlights flickering across my face mask. It still smarted, that memory of Alex finding out the truth about Liam—about me poisoning that little, stubborn brat who simply would not die. I hadn

ALEXANDERFor the first time in years, life felt... settled. A little over three weeks had passed since Raina told me we didn’t need to go ahead with the case. Her words still echoed in my mind, replaying over and over like a melody I couldn’t get out of my head. Each passing day chipped away at the wall she’d built between us, a wall I was determined to tear down brick by brick.If I could just keep it together, keep showing her that I’d changed, maybe—just maybe—she might start liking me again."Alex, are you even listening?" Her voice cut through my thoughts, sharp but not unkind.I blinked, turning to look at her. She was sitting across from me, her head tilted slightly, a soft smirk playing on her lips. "Sorry, what?""I said," she repeated, rolling her eyes, "you’ve been staring at your coffee for the past two minutes like it’s about to tell you the meaning of life. Everything okay?"I chuckled, running a hand through my hair. "Yeah, just thinking.""About?" She raised an eyebro

RAINAI never thought he’d actually do it—have Eliza arrested. The Alex I used to know wouldn’t have. But now? Now I wasn’t so sure. He really has changed, hasn’t he? And those words he said before Adelaide interrupted… they lingered in my mind like an unanswered question.Would I be stupid to give him another chance?I snapped out of my spiraling thoughts and forced myself to focus. Now wasn’t the time to daydream. There were bigger things to deal with—Adelaide being the main one.“Since we’re on a spree of getting people arrested,” I said aloud, glancing between Dominic and Alex, “Dom, call the police. I’ll let Adelaide into the house.”Alex frowned, stepping closer to me. His voice was calm, but I could hear the tension behind it. “Are you sure that’s a good idea? First Nathan will retaliate, and we’ve got a month until the hearing. Are you ready for this?”“I’ll never be ready,” I admitted, meeting his concerned gaze. “But that doesn’t mean I should sit back and do nothing.” I hes

ALEXANDERThis wasn’t the time for it. I clenched my fists as I stood in the doorway, staring at Eliza. Why did she have Vanessa call me? If I’d known this so-called emergency was about her, I wouldn’t have rushed back. Not now, not ever.I felt my anger simmer as I imagined what Raina would think if she knew I’d dropped everything to deal with this mess. She would be livid. I’d worked too hard to earn her trust again, and this? This was just another obstacle.“Say what you want, Eliza,” I said coldly, my voice steady as I stepped inside.Her face lit up in that fake way of hers, and I had to fight the urge to look away. “Long time no speak, Alex,” she said sweetly, her tone enough to make my skin crawl. “I missed you.”“Missed me?” I repeated, my voice dripping with disdain. “You missed me after everything you’ve done?” My focus narrowing on her like a laser. “Why did you do it, Eliza?” My voice was calm on the surface, but beneath it was a sea of fury.Her brow furrowed, confusion

RAINANathan casually walked into the room and sank into the chair beside me, the confidence in his stride unsettling. My stomach twisted in knots as I stared at him, willing myself not to panic. How did he find me? Why was he here?I gulped, my mind racing to one name—Alex. I needed him. I needed him now.Nathan didn’t say anything at first, his sharp eyes sweeping across the room as though he were inspecting his territory. His silence was suffocating, the tension in the room growing thicker with each passing second.I tried to steady my breathing, but when his gaze finally settled on me, I froze. The gentleness he once carried, the charm he used as a weapon, was gone. Instead, his face was etched with bitterness and anger.“You’ve been avoiding me,” he said flatly, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade.My heart raced, hammering against my ribcage. I opened my mouth to respond, but no words came out.He tilted his head to the side, his lips curling into a twisted smirk

RAINAFalling for Alex again was terrifying. I didn’t want to admit it, not even to myself. He hadn’t said anything about us—no promises, no confessions—but his actions were speaking loud and clear. Every protective gesture, every thoughtful moment, it all chipped away at the walls I’d built around my heart.Since Nathan’s confrontation in the parking lot a few days ago, Alex had taken it upon himself to look out for me. He picked me up after work and dropped me off at home, no matter how late. During lunch breaks, he would either show up with food or take me somewhere to eat. And every evening, without fail, he ensured I had as much time as possible to speak with Liam and Ava.I couldn’t ignore how much I appreciated his efforts. But despite everything he did to make me feel safe, there was something gnawing at me, something I couldn’t shake.My body didn’t feel right.It wasn’t just the exhaustion—that was to be expected given everything going on. It was deeper, a nagging sensation

RAINAAlex pulled the car to a stop in front of the house, the hum of the engine filling the silence between us. He turned to me, his eyes searching mine.“Are you going to be okay?” His voice was soft but tinged with concern.I hesitated, my hands fiddling with the strap of my bag. “I’ll be fine. I just need some time with my family. I need to tell them what the doctor said.”He nodded, his jaw tightening briefly. “I understand.”I could see he wanted to say more, but instead, he added, “I’ll take care of Ava’s test. You can call and talk to the kids later, once things settle.”“Thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.Alex lingered for a moment, his gaze heavy, like he was debating something. Then, with a quiet sigh, he started the engine again. “Take care of yourself, Raina.”As he drove away, the taillights disappearing into the night, I felt an ache in my chest. I missed him, more than I wanted to admit. But telling him that wasn’t an option. Not now.Steeling myself, I

NATHANThe pillar had fallen at just the right time. Senior Graham’s death was the opportunity I needed—a chance to infiltrate the Grahams and dismantle them from within. Everything was falling into place.So why did it feel like I was slipping?Raina was avoiding me. I could feel it. She hadn’t returned my calls or texts. Was it just grief, or was there something more?And Alex.Why had she let him stay?The thought burned in my chest. Were they getting back together?The voices in my head wouldn’t stop, spiraling louder and louder until they drowned out every other thought.“They’re pushing you out.”“She’s slipping away.”“You’re losing her.”“SHUT UP!” I roared, slamming my fist onto the desk. The sound echoed through the room, and for a moment, there was silence.But the questions lingered, their whispers like needles in my brain.Was it him? Was Alex the reason Raina wouldn’t let me in? My fingers curled into fists, my nails digging into my palms as I stared at the wall. She had
