Conrad

I felt the heat of the intern staring at me like a dog caught doing something wrong. But it didn’t matter to me. All I could see was my wife. And I hated, really hated, how much I still wanted her to look at me like she looked at that boy.

“You think this is a game?” I asked, voice lower now. “You think you can come back and play office dress-up, steal my clients, smile at interns, and I won’t care?”

“I don’t care what you feel,” she snapped. “You’re wasting my time.”

I stepped closer. “You’re still my wife.”

“Not here, I’m not.”

And just like that, she turned her back on me. I wasn’t going to take it. I grabbed her wrist before she could turn away again.

She froze. “Let go of me, Conrad.”

“Not here.” My voice came out tight and low. “You want to do this in public?”

Her eyes blazed, but I didn’t wait for her answer. I pulled her after me, ignoring the hissed protests, the way she dug her heels in just slightly to resist. She tried to wrench her arm free more than once, but I di

    ConradThe men scrambled to follow me, but I barely noticed them. My head was buzzing too loudly, filled with fury and shame in equal measure. I slid into the backseat, deep in thought as one of the men started the car.The drive blurred past in a haze of anger. I could feel Sylvester’s and Jackie’s eyes flicking to me, but I didn’t care. My thoughts were running rampant.Why couldn’t she just behave? Why couldn’t she make this easier for me?I clenched my jaw until it hurt. She always had to fight and to scheme without thinking of others. Did she not understand how hard this was already for me? Did she truly believe I wanted it this way?No, she forced me into this. It was only like this because of her behavior. If she hadn’t tried to stifle me, we wouldn’t be here. I wouldn't have taken this road. But Mother left me no choice but to push back harder when she pushed me to the wall.I had been considering being lenient with how she would be treated at Pathways to Wellness. I had even

    Conrad As the lake house came into view, I adjusted my jacket and glanced at the men beside me. Two of them, Jackie and Sylvester, followed me while the rest waited by the car. I turned to Jackie, who was trailing a step behind me. “Don’t forget the basket of food,” I reminded him, my tone sharp. Jackie gave a stiff nod. “Got it, sir.” We reached the porch, the wooden boards groaning faintly under our weight. My hand curled into a fist and rapped against the door. I pitched my voice warm, casual. “Mother? It’s Conrad.” Silence was my answer. I frowned and knocked again, a little harder this time. “Mother?” Still nothing. A sliver of unease threaded its way down my spine. That was odd. She should have answered by now. I should have heard her footsteps trudging to the door… unless she was asleep. That was possible. But in her current state, keyed up and restless, would Mother really have managed to nap? I doubted it. I pressed my ear against the door, listening for movement. T

    ConradI hadn’t come alone, even though I had promised Mother on the phone that I would. The words had spilled so smoothly from my mouth, but I already knew I would bring men with me. Not just any men but Bonafide’s finest, the ones who now called me “Boss” with reverence that sent a rush of exhilaration through my veins. Although I had made the press conference today, I had actually taken over everything a few days ago, putting measures in place to make sure Mother never heard of it until I wanted her to. Now, I knew how she felt having such unquestioned deferrence. It was intoxicating. I had lived too many years under her shadow to deny how much I savored it. When the cars rolled to a stop at the edge of the lake house drive, I was the first to step out. The wind carried the crispy scent of water, mixing with the faint smell of pine trees that crowded the estate. For a moment, I stood there, staring at the house, wondering why Mother had chosen to come here, of all the places she

    Marceline I stared at the phone in my hands, this fragile lifeline tossed my way, and tried to force my mind into order. One call was already wasted. Casillas hadn’t picked up, and I needed to make the two calls I had left count. I forced myself to think of Bonafide, of my men there and my network. Surely, even if Conrad had taken over, there had to be someone still loyal to me, someone who could get me out of this before I found out the painful way what the rest of Liam’s plan for me was. I scoured through the names in my head like a gambler rifling through their last chips. Faces swam before me: too many faces of men who had probably already bent to Conrad, men who would hesitate, men who might even betray me. But then one name surfaced: Hugo. Big, steady, simple Hugo. He was a man I had taken into Bonafide’s fold years ago, someone who had never once questioned me. If there was even a sliver of loyalty left among my people, it would be in him. My hands shook as I typed

    MarcelineLiam reached into his pocket, and the next minute, something hard hit my jaw and clattered to the ground beside me. The sharp sting made me cry out, but when I glanced down, blinking through the tears, I saw it was a phone. For a moment, I didn’t understand. A phone? He had thrown a phone at me? “Pick it up,” Liam’s voice came coldly. He sounded so composed for someone who had just spent the last several minutes brutally beating me. I didn’t move at first. My throat worked as I swallowed, too stunned to comprehend if this was real or some cruel trick designed to shatter my mind after my body had already been broken. My lips trembled as I tried to form words, but nothing came out. Then he shifted the stick in his hand, swinging it lazily through the air, and the movement alone made my stomach turn. The wood gleamed wetly, my blood glistening on it. This was him issuing a threat without a word. I scrambled before I could think, snatching up the phone so quickly that dirt

    Marceline**Warning! This chapter contains scenes of violence! Viewers' discretion is advised!**For a fleeting second, my mind tried to grasp what she meant, even as a relief filled me at the knowledge that I was safe. Abigail wouldn't do anything to me. She had always been too soft. She had been too soft to stand up to Susanna then, and she was still too soft to back up any of her wrathful words with action now.The wind caught the edges of her gown as she turned and walked away, and for a fleeting moment, I thought she looked like some tragic heroine out of a gothic novel, her figure swallowed by the mist surrounding Ravenbrook's lake the farther she walked. Her words still clung to me like poison, and though I wanted to shout after her and ask her where the hell she thought she was going, I realized she had left me with Liam, on purpose. He took a menacing step forward, his intent to harm clear from his face. Abigail’s hatred had been a wound that was deep but resigned, her voic
