She demanded.

“Where is it?”

A glance passed between them.

“That file.. and the footage Mr. Wolf provided…”

“They are missing from the system.”

The room went cold.

“That footage clears his name,” Madeline said. “We were meant to show the public who saved him.”

Her thoughts raced.

If the truth surfaced and Jade was exposed as the savior—

If Kain’s vow was validated—

And Jade had rejected him at the church.

Then the promise meant nothing.

Then Kain would have no choice.

He would marry Amara.

That was the plan .

“You lost it,” Madeline said quietly.

“It appears to have been—”

“Erased,” Madeline finished. “You flushed the most valuable evidence in this case.”

She looked at them then.

“You’re all finished,” she said. “Every one of you!”

Apologies followed. Excuses. Promises.

Madeline heard none of it.

The damage was already done.

Jade was alive.

Jade was visible.

Her thieving sister had rewritten the narrative and turned herself into the pe

    “And you,” Madeline said, voice calm as ice, “were hired to erase a problem. Not to develop a conscience.” “We had to pull out,” the man said. “Staying meant losing everything. I can’t go to prison.” “You were useless,” Madeline replied quietly. “And useless men are worse than enemies. At least enemies know they’ve failed. I didn’t hire you to come back alive. I hired you to make sure she didn’t.” Her heartbeat thudded, slow and heavy. “I’m cutting your payment,” she said. “You’ll be paid in proportion to your usefulness.” There was a sharp intake of breath. “Ma’am,” the man said urgently, “that money, is my way out. If you cut it, I’m dead.” Madeline didn’t raise her voice. “Then you finally understand the assignment.” The line went dead. She dragged in a sharp breath. “Idiot,” she snapped, the word tearing free before she could stop it. Her hand clenched around the phone until her palm ached. For one reckless second, she considered throwing it. She didn’t

    Her father sobbed. “We were terrible parents to you…we know we hurt you… please… forgive us.” Jade didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. Didn’t move. “No,” she said, low and final. “You don’t get forgiveness. You get the truth. And the truth is, you abandoned me. That guilt will eat you alive.” Power shifted. Jade stood untouched. Untouchable. She turned away. That was when she saw it. A white city bus crawled through the intersection, moving too slowly to be normal. Through a grimy rear window, a man stood near the back, his face swallowed by a black mask. He raised his arm. Light flashed on the gun. Aimed straight at her. Jade froze. Her body locked. Her mind stalled. The world narrowed to the dark mouth of the barrel. She couldn’t scream. Couldn’t move. She could only watch as the bus rolled past. Bang. Then impact. Something slammed into her back . Hard, brutal and knocking the air from her lungs. The bus vanished. The gun disappeared. Sky and asphalt

    Jade ignored it. Then the scream ripped through the street. “Thief! Somebody help!” Her heart jumped. Before she could turn, a body slammed into her shoulder. Hard and fast. A man shot past her, hood low, a woman’s purse clenched in his fist. Another scream cut through the air. There was no time for questions. Jade didn’t think. She ran. White sneakers pounded the pavement, each strike sharp, rhythmic, like a countdown. The city blurred. Honking horns, startled shouts, faces whipping past. The thief zigzagged, panic driving his legs.Jade cut through, straight and unhesitant. Her hand dipped into her bag. Pepper spray. The thief glanced back. That half-second ended him. Jade closed the distance, unleashing a perfect arc of fire. He screamed, staggered, crashed. She was on him instantly, one strike to the solar plexus, another to the knee. Martial-arts muscle memory doing what words never could. The purse flew free. Jade snatched it. “Why?” she demanded

    “You see sparks and assume they’re yours to keep. That’s not bonding. That’s entitlement dressed up as depth.” For the first time, something real cracked through his confidence. **** “You think I don’t know the difference?” Kain asked, voice lower now. “I don’t invest like this casually.” She stepped closer just enough for him to feel it, not enough to give him anything. “That’s exactly why this disgusts me,” she said flatly. “You talk about connection while living a life that already has a name on it. Men like that always want the thrill without the consequences.” Silence stretched. Tight. Loaded. “Say it clearly,” he said, controlled but edged. “What are you accusing me of?” Her chin lifted. Calm. Precise. “Of wanting me to be the secret that proves you still feel alive.” That one hit. His eyes darkened not with desire this time, but with something sharper. Concern. Frustration. A need he hadn’t planned for. “You’re wrong,” he said. “If I wanted a secret, I

    The name sliced. “Tell me the truth, Jade.” “I’m not pregnant.” The word came out raw. She steadied herself. “They’re prescribed. For irregular periods. That’s it.” Silence followed. She straightened, pride like armor. “Please give it back. I have things to do. A life to get back to.” Kain weighed the bottle in his palm. “I will.” Relief sparked— “But you’ll see me tonight. Seven p.m. Mario will pick you up.” —and died. “No,” she said immediately. “I’m not seeing you.” **** “What do you think I see when I look at you?” she wondered bitterly. A mistake? A transaction? Something he could afford to misunderstand? “Why not?” he asked. She stepped forward for the bottle. Too close. Heat surged between them sudden, reckless. His body blocked hers without effort. The air thickened. Her breath betrayed her. “Yes,” slipped out before she could stop it. Kain smiled like a man closing a deal. “Remember the blind date?” he said softly. “When you made m
