MasukLisa's pov Julie kept staring at the document I had placed in front of her. Her fingers rested against the table, but she didn't touch the page. The anger in her face had faded into something harder to read. I had seen that look before, usually when she was trying to decide which version of a story would benefit her most.“You're making this more serious than it is,” Julie said, lifting her eyes to mine. “Ralph's name appearing in George's notes doesn't mean I was involved in anything.”I pulled the document closer to her, refusing to let her push it aside. “Then tell me what you know. You recognized his name immediately, and you admitted you've seen records from the old case. That isn't what you told me before.”Julie leaned back in her chair, her mouth tightening. “Knowing about something doesn't mean I caused it,” she replied, folding her arms. “I knew certain things were happening, but that doesn't make me responsible for every crime connected to them.”“I'm not saying you caused
Lisa’s povJulie was already waiting in the living room when I returned home, her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes moved from my face to the folder in my hand, and her irritation became obvious. She didn't ask where I'd been or whether the investigation had uncovered anything. She simply watched me like she had been preparing for this conversation.“You've been spending a lot of time with Erin lately,” Julie remarked, turning away from the window to face me. “Every time you come home, you have another question, another document, or another suspicion he has placed in your head.”I placed the folder on the table before answering, refusing to let her redirect the conversation. “I've been investigating George's murder, Mum. This isn't about spending time with Erin. It's about finding out what happened to him.”Julie gave a bitter laugh, shaking her head as though my explanation had confirmed her fears. “You believe him more than you believe your own mother. That's what this is. He s
Lisa's povThe moment Brandon's words left his mouth, the whole table went quiet. I stared at the laptop, hardly breathing as I looked at the name written in George's notes. Ralph. Seeing his name there felt different from hearing it during our earlier discussions. This time, it had come directly from George, the man who had been investigating something before he was killed.“Let me see that again,” Erin asked, leaning toward the laptop as Brandon turned the screen toward him. Erin studied the note carefully, his eyes moving across every word and date before he reached for the printed copy. “Don't assume this proves anything yet. We need to understand exactly what George was trying to say here,” he explained, keeping his voice calm despite the importance of the discovery.“This is the part I couldn't understand before,” Brandon explained, pointing toward the short section on the screen while he compared it with another document. “George wrote Ralph's name beside the company he was inv
Brandon's povThe document remained open in front of me while Erin and Megan waited for me to explain what I meant. I had gone through George's information more times than I could remember, but something about the old notes bothered me now. There was a small detail we had seen before and pushed aside because it hadn't seemed important then.“This came from the material we recovered after we found George,” I explained, turning my laptop so Erin and Megan could see the screen properly. “At the time, we were more focused on what had happened to him, so some of these smaller notes didn't get the attention they should have.”“You were the one who tracked him down, right?” Megan asked, leaning closer to the screen while she studied the information I had opened. I nodded slowly as the memory of that day returned. “Yes. We followed the information we had until it led us to George, but we got there too late.”“The assassin had already reached him,” Erin added quietly, his expression becoming
Erin's povThe following morning, I called Megan and Brandon separately and asked if they could meet me somewhere quiet where we could go through everything without being disturbed. I didn't want another rushed conversation over the phone, especially with how complicated the old records had become. We needed to sit down, spread the evidence out, and understand exactly what we had.By late morning, we met at a small café away from the busy part of town. It was calm inside, with only a few people sitting at different tables, and the soft music in the background made it easy for us to talk without attracting attention. I arrived first and chose a table in the corner where we could keep the files between us.“We need to go through everything again,” I told Megan and Brandon when they arrived, placing my folder on the table as they took their seats. “There are too many connections showing up now, and I don't want us to miss something important because we're looking at each piece separatel
Lisa's pov“Why did you call me over?” I asked as I stepped into Megan’s apartment, my eyes immediately falling on the files spread across her table. Megan closed her laptop and motioned toward the chair opposite her, looking more serious than she had sounded on the phone. “Because I went back through the old case, and I found some things we need to talk about,” she explained, watching me take the seat.“Does this have anything to do with Julie?” I asked, sitting down and glancing at the thick files between us. Megan shook her head slowly before giving me a careful answer. “It might, but I’m not saying your mother did anything wrong. I just want us to look at the facts first before we decide what anything means,” she assured me, keeping her voice calm as she tried not to make me jump to conclusions.“What did you find?” I asked, reaching for the first file while my eyes moved across the old papers. Megan opened it to a marked page and placed her finger on one of the transactions. “

Lisa's povI felt my body betray me completely in that empty hallway the second Erin's lips crashed against mine. His mouth was hot and demanding, his tongue thrusting deep like he owned every part of me, and my pussy flooded with wetness so fast I gasped into the kiss. His big hands gripped my wa
Lisa's povI sat up straight on my bed the second Erin stepped into my room and closed the door behind him with a soft click that echoed like a gunshot in the quiet house. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it might break through, and my pussy throbbed with a fresh rush of heat that
