JOANNA

I kept checking my phone.

It had been almost thirty minutes since Luther left with Cathy, and I was beginning to worry. He said it would just be a minute. That was before Asher’s speech turned into a drawn-out fairytale of ambition and second chances.

Blah blah vision, blah blah future, “New York is home again” I wasn’t even listening anymore. I was too busy scanning the room.

Where was he?

I looked at my phone again, tapping the screen. No messages. No missed calls. Just the time: 8:26 p.m.

And then it happened.

A sharp flicker cut across the projector screen behind Asher..At first, I thought it was a glitch — until the screen froze, and a video began to play.

My blood turned cold.

Luther.

On-screen.

Drunk. Disoriented. Grabbing Cathy no, being filmed as if he was grabbing her. She looked terrified. Disheveled. She stumbled back. There were no words—just tension and heavy breathing, and…

No.

The room gasped.

Somewhere to my left, someone’s phone dinged. Then another. Then ano

    Joanna’s POVWeeks had passed since the night everything shattered and then somehow began to mend.My baby bump had started to show. Each morning, I woke up to Luther’s gentle touch on it, his lips pressing soft promises against my belly. He said we were safe now. That it was all behind us. But part of me didn’t breathe freely, not yet. Not until this moment.The courtroom was packed. The hum of tension buzzed through the walls like static. Cameras. Reporters. Whispers. The trial of Cassie, Asher, and Mike had become the city’s favorite headline.I adjusted slightly in my seat, placing a hand protectively over my stomach as I watched them all walk in, handcuffed.Cassie’s once-cunning eyes looked tired. Ashamed. Or maybe still angry. I couldn’t tell anymore. Asher tried to mask his panic behind arrogance, but it cracked the moment he saw Luther sitting beside me. Mike just kept his head low.Luther turned to me, and our eyes locked. He gave me a nod, calm, strong, like always. That

    LUTHER Behind the glass, I watched her.Cassie or Cathy, or whatever name she was going by now—sat in the metal chair like she was carved from stone. Arms crossed. Shoulders high. Chin up. She hadn’t said a word. Not one damn word since they brought her in.The officer across from her leaned forward again, trying to pierce her silence. “Cassandra, do you understand the charges against you?”She blinked, slow. Blank. Unbothered.Dickson stepped beside me, arms folded tightly. “She’s waiting,” he muttered. “Waiting for a deal, or waiting for Asher to clean this mess for her.”“He won’t,” I replied. “We already have his panic on record. He’s out of cards.”The officer tried again. “You were seen at the event. You drugged Luther martins. You attempted murder. And you framed him for sexual assault. You're looking at years in prison. Decades.”Still nothing. Just a little smile curling the edge of her mouth. That cold, signature Cassie smile.“She thinks she’s untouchable,” Dickson said u

    Author’s pov The clock ticked louder with each passing second.It was already dark. And Luther still wasn’t home.Joanna paced the living room like a madwoman. Her hands trembled every time she looked down at her phone. She had called him over and over again. Nothing. No text. No response. Nothing since that one brief call when he’d told her to trust him.But how could she trust him when he wasn’t here? When the only thing keeping her together was hope?She checked the time again.9:57 p.m.Still no sign of him.She sat down for barely a minute before springing up again, tears brimming at the edge of her lashes.Diana, sitting nearby, tried to keep her calm. “Come on, Mom. He’s going to be okay,” she said softly, but even she sounded unsure.Joanna just shook her head, pacing harder. She was super scared this time “Something is wrong. I can feel it. I just know it, something happened.”And then suddenly—The sound of the door unlocking.She froze. Her heart lodged in her throat.The

    LUTHER. The air outside the station was cool, but my body felt like fire.Dickson walked beside me, his hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed. “I don’t think Asher’s going to say anything about Cassie.”I clenched my jaw. “I think his loyalty is worth more than his freedom. We’ll have to make him talk… or we’ll find other ways.”Dickson nodded slowly. “The investigators are currently looking for Mike. He was one of Cassie’s hired men. Once we find him, we might finally get a thread to pull. Something that leads us to wherever the hell Cassie is hiding.”And just as the words left his mouth, commotion broke near the station gates.“Sir!” one of the officers called.We turned sharply.Two officers were walking in, practically dragging someone between them. The guy was resisting, twisting in their grip like a slippery eel, muttering curses under his breath.Dickson narrowed his eyes. “Oh. Here he is.”Mike.The bastard who was helping Cassie according to Luther..short buzzed hair, l

    LUTHER The SUV sped through the streets with two black vans tailing us—security, all eyes on high alert. I kept glancing out the window, but something in my chest refused to sit still.Then my phone buzzed.I looked down.A video.No name. Just a file.I tapped it open.My blood ran cold.It was me… with Cathy. Her body tangled with mine. My head slumped back. My eyes barely open. My expression—blank.A sick feeling gripped my stomach.Then her voice came through, smug and cruel:> “I sent this to your wife. She must be having fun watching it right now.”“What the f*ck is wrong with this girl?” I hissed, gripping the phone tighter.Dickson, beside me, turned instantly. “What happened?”I ignored him, swiping through the rest. The way she set me up carefully, intentionally. Then it hit me.That night I was drunk. I remembered slurring a few words to Cathy, thinking she was just doing her job—nothing more. I didn’t even know I’d blacked out.But she’d used that.And now… Johanna had se

    JOANNA Luther paced the living room, his jaw tight, his eyes darker than usual. The sound of his boots tapping against the floor matched the pounding of my heart.“I need you to stay indoors for now,” he said, finally turning to face me. “Until we find Cassie.”I blinked at him, stunned by how calm his voice sounded, even though everything was falling apart. “What about you?” I asked softly. “She’s after all of us, Luther. She’s dangerous. I want you to be safe too.”He walked over to me and gently cupped my cheeks. Then he leaned in, brushing a soft kiss against my forehead. His touch made me shiver, not from fear, but from the ache in my chest.“This is not the time for me to be indoors,” he said, kneeling slightly so we were at eye level. “We have to go out there, clear the mess she created, and find her. We’re going to find her. I promise.”I didn’t say anything. I just nodded, afraid that if I opened my mouth, my fear would spill out in tears.He pulled me into a hug, held me fo
