I spent three days thinking. Three days walking around the house like a ghost, watching Dominic play with the twins, remembering my conversations with Marcus.

Bola found me on the third night, sitting in Lily's chair with a cup of cold tea.

"Girl, you're driving yourself crazy," she said, settling onto the couch. "What's really going on in your head?"

"I don't know how to choose."

"Between Marcus and Dominic?"

"Between the past and the future. Between what I used to want and what I actually need."

Bola was quiet for a moment. "What does your heart tell you?"

"That's the problem. My heart says two different things depending on the day."

"No, it doesn't." Her voice was gentle but firm. "Your heart knows. You're just scared to admit it because it means letting go of something you held onto for so long."

I looked toward the stairs where I could hear Dominic reading bedtime stories to Kai and Solana. His voice was soft and patient, doing different voices for each character.

    eleven month into our marriage, I woke up on a Saturday morning to the sound of laughter echoing through the house. Real, carefree laughter that would have been impossible just a few years ago."Daddy, you're silly!" Solana's voice drifted up from the kitchen."Mama! Come see what Daddy made!" Kai called out.I padded downstairs in my robe to find my family in the middle of what looked like a pancake war. Dominic had flour in his hair, the twins were covered in syrup, and there were pancakes shaped like animals cooling on every surface."What happened in here?" I asked, trying not to laugh."Daddy tried to make pancake elephants," Solana explained seriously. "But they look more like blobs.""Hey!" Dominic protested. "That's clearly an elephant trunk.""That's a pancake blob, Daddy," Kai said, patting his father's arm sympathetically.I burst out laughing. This was my life now. Pancake blobs and syrup disasters and a husband who tried to make Saturday mornings magical for our kids."We

    One year after the last threat was eliminated, I stood in the boardroom of the newly renamed Rossi International, looking out at the New York skyline. The company that had once laundered money and trafficked weapons now built hospitals and funded schools."The quarterly reports are in," Dominic said, spreading papers across the conference table. "All divisions showing record profits.""Even the clean energy subsidiary?" I asked."Especially the clean energy. Turns out, solar panels are way more profitable than arms dealing."Marcus walked in with coffee and a stack of foundation reports. He'd become our unofficial coordinator between the business and charitable sides."The London office just rescued a family of five from a domestic violence situation," he announced. "The Sydney office prevented three honor killings this month. And Toronto helped twelve women disappear safely from trafficking rings.""That's incredible.""It gets better. We just got approval to open offices in Berlin,

    Six months after Kozlov's arrest, I woke up to something I hadn't heard in years: complete silence.No federal agents outside our door. No security briefings. No emergency phones ringing in the middle of the night.Just peace."Good morning, beautiful," Dominic said, bringing me coffee. "Sleep well?""Like the dead." I paused. "Sorry. Poor choice of words.""Actually, it's the perfect choice of words. All our enemies are dead or locked up forever. We can finally sleep like normal people."The twins thundered into our bedroom, jumping on the bed with their usual morning energy."Daddy! Mama! Can we have pancakes?" Solana asked."Please?" Kai added, giving me his most charming smile."Of course, babies. Let's go make breakfast."As we headed downstairs, I marveled at how normal everything felt. The house was quiet except for family sounds. No bodyguards, no security systems beeping, no one watching our every move."Agent Martinez called yesterday," Dominic said as he mixed pancake batte

    Three days after Sarah's capture, Agent Martinez came to our house with news that made my blood run cold."We have a problem. Sarah wasn't working alone.""What do you mean?" Dominic asked, pulling me closer on the couch."The prison escape was funded by someone on the outside. Someone with serious money and international connections.""Who?""We're not sure yet. But Sarah had help from a criminal organization that specializes in breaking people out of prison for the right price.""Why would anyone pay to help Sarah escape?"Agent Martinez looked uncomfortable. "Because someone wanted you dead, Mrs. Rossi. Sarah was just the weapon."My heart stopped. "Who would want me dead?""We think it's connected to your business restructuring. When you cleaned up the Moretti operations, you cost some very dangerous people a lot of money.""The old partners," Dominic realized. "The ones we cut ties with.""Exactly. Viktor Kozlov, specifically. He ran arms through Moretti shipping for twenty years

    The call came at three in the morning, two weeks after Grandfather Lorenzo's funeral."Mrs. Rossi?" Detective Rodriguez's voice was grim. "I'm sorry to wake you, but we have a situation."I sat up in bed, instantly alert. Dominic stirred beside me."What kind of situation?""Sarah Harrison escaped from prison six hours ago. During a medical transport to the hospital."My blood went cold. "How?""The transport van was ambushed. Two guards injured, one critically. Sarah and three other inmates are in the wind.""Do you think she'll come here?""We have to assume she will. She blamed you for everything. Prison didn't make her less dangerous – it made her desperate."Dominic was fully awake now, reaching for his clothes."What do you need us to do?" I asked."Pack essentials for you and the kids. We're moving you to a safe house until we find her.""For how long?""However long it takes."Within an hour, we were on the road. The twins slept through most of the chaos, bundled into their ca

    13 months after the wedding, I found Grandfather Moretti collapsed in his garden."Call 911!" I screamed to Dominic, who was chasing the twins around the yard while I visited with Grandfather.He was conscious but weak, his breathing shallow."I'm fine," he whispered as I knelt beside him. "Just tired.""You're not fine. You're going to the hospital.""Ava..." His hand found mine. "There's something I need to tell you first.""Tell me at the hospital.""No. Now. In case..." He didn't finish the sentence.The paramedics arrived quickly, but Grandfather Moretti refused to be moved until he'd said his piece."Everyone gather around," he said weakly. "Dominic, bring the children."We all knelt in the grass around him – me, Dominic, the twins, even Bola who'd come running when she heard the sirens."Kai, Solana," he said, his voice soft but clear. "Come here to Great-Granddaddy."The twins crawled closer, their faces serious and worried."Granddaddy sick?" Solana asked, touching his cheek
