The aftermath of our argument still lingered like a heavy cloud, hanging over both Dante and I. Even though he had tried to make amends in his own awkward way, something remained unresolved. I could still feel the sting of his words from that night, and it made every interaction between us feel cautious, guarded.

The next morning, I found Dante in the kitchen making breakfast. The smell of freshly cooked pancakes filled the air. I hesitated at the doorway, unsure whether to join him or pretend I hadn’t seen him.

He noticed me before I could decide. “Good morning,” he greeted without looking up from the pan.

“Morning,” I mumbled back. I went to make tea, deliberately focusing on the kettle to avoid his gaze. When the pancakes were ready, he set a plate on the counter in front of me without saying a word. It was a quiet offering—one that I wasn’t sure how to take.

As we ate in silence, I couldn’t help but steal glances at him. Dante looked tired, like he hadn’t slept much. Maybe the arg

    Collins flipped through the pages again, his eyes scanning each line as though he couldn’t quite believe the words staring back at him. He exhaled, leaned back in his leather chair, and then began to read aloud, almost as though speaking the names made them real.“Alright,” he said, his tone serious, his voice carrying across the room. “The first name that comes up prominently in these files is a Miss Calver.”I tilted my head, waiting for recognition to spark, but nothing came. The name sat there, flat, empty, just another unfamiliar stranger in a world of strangers. My brow furrowed as I tried to pull a face from the syllables. Calver. Had I heard it before? Maybe at a company event? A party? The circles Dante had moved in were wide, and I’d been dragged into them often enough. But the name rang no bells.Miss Calver. The woman whose hands had been twisting and pulling at the threads of Dante’s downfall. Yet, when I tried to summon her, my mind produced only shadows.Collins glanced

    The moment I stepped out of the police station, I didn’t even give myself the chance to sit still or let my thoughts scatter. My fingers were already trembling on the slip of paper Dante had scribbled his lawyer’s number on, and before my heart could talk me out of it, I dialed.The line rang twice before a deep, composed voice answered. “This is Attorney Collins.”My throat tightened, but I forced the words out. “Hello, this is Sienna. Dante asked that I call you, I just came from seeing him. It’s urgent.”There was a pause on the other end, the kind that made me want to press the phone harder to my ear as though it would force the silence to break. Finally, his voice came back. “I’ve been in constant communication with him already. If it’s about the case, I assure you, I am working with some trusted associates. Everything is under control.”Under control? My chest tightened, heat rushing to my cheeks. “No, it’s not under control,” I snapped before I could stop myself. “You saw what

    I had barely gotten any sleep the night before, and when I finally did, it was shallow, restless, like I was floating between dreams and worries. Keeping Warren’s words to myself had been torture. My mind kept circling the truth like a moth drawn to a flame, replaying every sentence he’d said at that café, every warning he gave about confidentiality.And then, just when I was convincing myself I could somehow last another day without cracking, my phone buzzed on the nightstand.A new message from Warren.All information needed has been gathered. We need Dante to speak to his lawyer so a meeting can be scheduled. Don’t delay.I sat upright, heart slamming so fast against my chest I thought it might break through my ribs. My hand trembled as I re-read the words, over and over, just to be sure I hadn’t imagined them. It’s real. It’s finally real.I didn’t even realize I was crying until a tear slid down the side of my face and hit the screen. My breath came out shaky, but joy was bubblin

    Warren’s tone shifted just as I thought our meeting was winding down. His eyes narrowed, focused, like he was bracing me for something heavier.“There’s one more thing you need to know,” he said, sliding his phone across the table to show me a string of documents I couldn’t begin to fully understand. “Miss Calver isn’t working alone. There’s a man in the picture. Someone working hands-on with her, helping her move the pieces.”My heart skipped a beat. “A man?”“Yes,” he confirmed. “We don’t have a full identity yet, his digital footprint is slippery. But my team is tracking him. Once we pin down who he is and connect the dots between him and Miss Calver, that’s when we’ll make our move.”My mind instantly darted to the people I’d seen hovering around Dante’s world over the past months. Board members. Associates. Employees. Could it be someone close? Someone Dante trusted? Or just another outsider with a grudge?My pulse was wild, loud in my ears. The idea that not only was there a wom

    I pushed open the café door, the faint ring of the bell above it making my heart skip. My eyes swept quickly over the small, cozy room. The air smelled faintly of roasted coffee beans and warm pastries, but even that couldn’t calm me. Every table had someone. Students hunched over laptops, two elderly men reading newspapers, a mother with her little boy dragging her sleeve.And then it hit me. I didn’t even know what Investigator Warren looked like. We hadn't met in person before, and I didn't even know his name until he mentioned it when he called earlier.I froze for a moment in the doorway, suddenly feeling foolish. How was I supposed to pick out an investigator in a crowd when I had no description, no clue? I let my gaze wander nervously from one face to the other, trying to guess. Would he look sharp, serious, maybe in a suit? Or older, graying, someone with that detective aura?I was still debating with myself when I felt a light tap on my shoulder.I turned around quickly, star

    For the first time in what felt like forever, my body actually surrendered to sleep. The doctor’s medications had helped subside the pain in my head, and though I hated taking anything more than I had to, I knew I needed that rest. My body wasn’t just my own anymore. I was carrying a baby inside me. And sleep was definitely one thing I needed to recharge and regain all the energy I'd lost over the past weeks. I didn't just need it for me alone, the baby needed it too.I don’t remember exactly when I drifted off, only that my head melted into the pillow like it was made of clouds. The heaviness in my eyelids won the battle over the endless worries circling in my mind, and soon enough, I was gone.The next thing I knew, the loud buzzing of my phone jolted me awake.At first, I thought it was part of a dream. My hand reached out, fumbling across the nightstand until I felt the device vibrating under my fingertips. My eyes were still heavy, sticky with sleep, and for a moment, I considere
