Jason POV

The moment I finished reading the email, one thing became painfully clear.

The Browns were never the real problem.

Alexander Vincent was.

The wording.

The tone.

The careful promises hidden behind polite business language.

I had seen it before.

Far too many times.

Alexander Vincent never made demands.

He planted ideas.

He let other people believe they had come up with them themselves.

The email Amber found had been sent from a burner address.

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Bit late for that

    Amber POV"I suppose that explains how they operated beneath Sum for so long without constantly relocating," I said."Partially," the president replied. "Unfortunately, we're beginning to see how extensive the support system was.""What has the technician told you?""Names."The secretary of defense explained that investigators were tracing payments involving drivers, private security contractors, property managers, medical personnel, communications specialists and employees connected to transportation companies. Some appeared to have performed isolated jobs without understanding the entire operation. Others had been involved for too long to credibly claim ignorance.The Becker and Vinny operations had already been dismantled, their assets and records seized, but the new investigation was exposing the support structure around them. Taking down the families themselves hadn't automatically eliminated every person who had helped them operate.Some had simply stopped moving and hoped the

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Paid out

    Amber POVJason still hadn't opened his eyes when the president of Sum arrived at the hospital.By then, I had stopped looking at the clock. Time had become something measured by the rise and fall of Jason's chest, the quiet beeping of the monitors, the nurses coming in to check his pupils and blood pressure, and the doctors watching the swelling from the blow to his head. Every time the door opened, I looked up expecting another medical update, and every time someone said my name, some part of me braced for news I wasn't ready to hear.So when Pamela stepped into the room and told me the president was here, it took several seconds for the words to register."The president?"She nodded. "With the secretary of defense."I looked toward Jason. "Why?""Officially, to check on his condition." Pamela paused before adding, "Unofficially, they found something."Of course they had. There was always something else waiting beneath the last horrible thing we uncovered.I looked down at Jason's h

    Amber POVJasmine was two rooms away. I refused to leave Jason, so after her wound had been cleaned and treated, Pamela brought me a tablet and connected the video call from Jasmine’s room.The screen came to life, and Jasmine appeared sitting upright in bed with her upper arm bandaged and secured. She looked exhausted, filthy and far too satisfied with herself for someone who had recently been shot. Noah sat beside her, looking furious and worried, the kind of angry that only happened when fear had nowhere else to go."Tell me exactly what happened," I said.Jasmine's expression became serious. "I followed the blood trail. Once I got that deep, my phone lost all service, but I knew Marcus was behind me, so I kept going."Noah's jaw flexed, but he said nothing. That was probably an achievement."Then I heard footsteps.""What kind?""Several people moving quickly. I killed my light and waited near a turn." She glanced toward Jason through the screen. "When they came around the corner,

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Safe

    Amber POVBy the time we reached the hospital, the emergency entrance was already surrounded by security. Military vehicles occupied part of the drive, officers controlled every entrance, and a trauma team waited outside with two stretchers. Daniel had called ahead, so everyone knew Jason was the priority, with Jasmine following behind him.We arrived only minutes before the rescue vehicles.I was out of the car almost as soon as it stopped.For more than a week, I had lived with one goal: find Jason.Everything had been about that. Every map, every interrogation, every phone call, every tunnel, every scrap of evidence. I had refused to think beyond finding him because the possibilities beyond that point had been unbearable.Then the rescue vehicle arrived, and for the first time I understood that finding him had never been the finish line.The doors opened.Emory climbed out first.Then I saw my husband.I stopped.I'd imagined Jason walking out of those caves. I'd imagined him exhau

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Alive

    Amber POVI couldn't breathe."Jason?""He's alive."The entire room stopped.Mrs. Sun stood. Noah closed his eyes, and Grandpa's shoulders dropped as if he'd been carrying something impossibly heavy."Say it again.""Jason is alive. He's unconscious, but he's breathing on his own. Weak pulse, dehydration, blood loss, multiple injuries and possible head trauma. We're stabilizing him for extraction."Tears blurred my vision."You're with him?""Right beside him.""Don't leave.""I won't.""What happened?""We're still piecing it together. There was a fight in a lower chamber. Mr. White was there.""Where is he?""Gone. He escaped through another passage. Three of his men are in custody."At least we had something."Jasmine?""She's alive."Beside me, Noah released a breath so sharply that I heard it.Then Emory continued."She was shot in the upper arm. Through-and-through. It's not critical, but she lost some blood. We're taking her to the hospital with Jason.""What the fuck?"I turn

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Found them

    Amber POVMarcus went after Jasmine, and for almost two hours I waited at the castle for the next update.Before Jasmine left, I had personally attached her tracker to her gear. I had tested it twice, made sure it was transmitting, and connected my tablet as an emergency receiver. I hadn't intended to monitor her every second from the castle. The actual tracking equipment for both Jasmine and Marcus was posted at the command center at the mines, where the teams could coordinate their movements underground.My tablet was only the backup.That was why, when it suddenly screamed, everyone in the room froze.A sharp alarm cut through the quiet, and a red warning filled my screen.SOS REQUEST RECEIVED.Jasmine.I opened it immediately.A location ping appeared beneath the warning.Deep underground.Far beyond the historical Ember routes.I stood."Noah."He was beside me immediately."Jasmine?""Yes."Emory woke in the chair across the room and came toward us."What happened?""She trigger

    I didn’t cry. I didn’t shake. I didn’t look back, or mourned the life and the years i will never get back, lost forever. I just went home, time to pack and say goodbye to my old life. The penthouse doors opened with biometric recognition the moment I stepped inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass. Marb

    We moved quickly through the hallway. Adrian walked behind me, gun raised, covering the corridor while I forced Henry Watson forward. The mansion was quieter than expected. Too quiet. Which meant either the guards were regrouping… or Jason was already on his way. I glanced over my shoulder.

    Jason POV Marcus nearly slammed the brakes. “She shot the camera!” I leaned back slowly. Marcus looked at me. “What the hell was that?” I ran a hand over my face. “She said hello husband before she shot it.” Marcus stared. “…Okay.” Silence filled the car. “…What does that mean exactly?”

    Family drama. Honestly, I was getting tired of it. I shifted slightly in the chair, letting the ropes around my wrists rub just enough to make the guards think I was uncomfortable. In truth, they had tied them loosely—political kidnappers rarely knew how to do proper restraints. Across from me,
