CLARK'S POV

The moment Eva walked out of my office, I exhaled like I had been holding my breath for hours.

Then I ran my hand through my hair.

Once…twice..and again.

Frustration burned under my skin.

She had stood there in front of me looking like temptation wrapped in confidence, and it had taken every ounce of control I had not to pull her into my arms and forget every promise I had made.

I wanted her.

God, I wanted her so badly.

When she said she came to “clear the air,” I knew exactly what

    CLARK'S POVI left the café feeling steadier than I had in days. The plan was simple enough. Eva would invite Daniel over tomorrow evening under the pretense of finally talking. I would be there, out of sight at first, and we would end the blackmail once and for all. She had looked nervous when we parted, but she had also looked determined and that alone was enough for me.On the drive home I kept replaying her mother’s strange “test” and Rachel’s dramatic tears and honestly, both felt like background noise compared to the real problem. Daniel had already shown he was willing to go further than expected and the sooner we shut him down, the better.I texted Eva once I got in:Me: Home safe…Get some rest and tomorrow, we finish this.She replied almost immediately.Eva: Okay…almost home now….Talk tomorrow.I set the phone down and tried to focus on other things. Elijah was still in the house, sprawled on the couch watching something loud and we talked for a while about nothing imp

    EVA’S POVI tried to open my eyes as I occasionally squinted it but anytime I did, everything hurt.The first thing I noticed was the throbbing in my head.It felt like someone had driven a spike through my temples and left it there. My mouth was dry and my tongue was thick and useless. The air smelled like dust, old fabric, and something faintly metallic.I tried to move but my wrists wouldn’t.Something cold and hard bit into them and that was when I realized I was in handcuffs. My ankles were bound too as I noticed I was lying on a thin mattress that barely covered a hard surface. When I forced my eyes open, everything around me felt confusing for a few seconds before settling into a dim, windowless room. A single weak bulb hung from the ceiling, concrete walls, no furniture except the mattress I was on and a metal chair in the corner.Panic rose so fast it almost choked me.I suddenly remembered the parking garage.The arm around my waist, the cloth pressed against my face an

    EVA'S POV “What test?” I asked, my voice coming out sharper than I intended.My mother didn’t answer immediately. She simply sat there with that mysterious little smile still playing on her lips, leaving all of us staring at her in silence. The tension in the room was so thick it felt like we were breathing through cotton.Rachel was the first to break it. She wiped her tear-streaked face with the back of her hand as the mascara smudged under her eyes. “Mom, what are you talking about? You can’t just say something like that and then smile like it’s funny!”Mother leaned forward slightly, her expression turning serious again. “I needed to know Clark’s true intentions, Rachel…You’ve been coming to me for weeks, crying about how distant he’s been, how he ignores your calls, how the wedding feels one-sided…I wanted to see if he would take the easy exit when it was offered to him on a silver platter….He didn’t…He chose to stay committed, even when it would have been simpler to walk a

    EVA’S POV I sat frozen on the edge of the couch, the weight of my mother’s words still hanging heavy in the air like smoke after a gunshot.“Call off the wedding, Clark,” she had said calmly, as if she were asking him to pass the salt.Rachel’s head snapped toward her so fast I thought she might get whiplash. “What did you just say?” she bit out as her voice was sharp enough to cut glass.My mother didn't flinch. She leaned back in her favorite armchair, folding her arms across her chest with that quiet authority only she could wield. “It seems this engagement of yours is nothing but a business transaction, Rachel. …One minute you’re crying to me that Clark has been ignoring you, the next minute you manage to reach him and the only thing you can think to do is ask him for money…when he doesn’t give it, you come running back here complaining that he doesn’t care about you.” She shook her head slowly. “I don’t understand this relationship anymore and if I don’t understand it, it’s

    CLARK'S POVThe silence in my bedroom felt heavier after Rachel’s mother called than when Rachel left. Something was very wrong, and the urgent call from her mother only confirmed it.I stood up, ran a hand through my hair, and quickly freshened up in the bathroom splashing cold water on my face, straightening my shirt, and trying to shake off the lingering uneasiness.Whatever was waiting for me at their mother’s house, I needed to face it with a clear head.Grabbing my keys, I headed out the door and got into my car. The moment I pulled out of the driveway, I dialed Eva’s number. She didn't pick up on the first ring but she did on the second ring.“Clark? Is everything okay?”“Not really,” I said, keeping my voice steady as I merged onto the main road. “Rachel showed up at my house uninvited ….I got angry and yelled at her and told her she can’t just walk in whenever she wants…She burst into tears, which threw me off then I took her upstairs to calm her down…She complained about

    CLARK’S POV Eva’s hands were trembling as she held her phone, the screen glowing with Daniel’s latest message. Her breathing had turned shallow and fast, the kind of panic that made her chest rise and fall too quickly. I watched her eyes move across the words again and again, as if rereading them would somehow change their meaning.“He’s not taking the money anymore,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “He says I have to publicly announce our involvement..you and me…by tomorrow night, or he’ll release everything…the photos, the videos, all of it. Clark, what are we going to do?”Her panic was off the roof now.I could see it in the way her free hand clutched the edge of my desk like it was the only thing keeping her grounded. This wasn’t just fear for herself anymore. It was the terror of watching our carefully hidden world explode in public, dragging her family, my family, and the upcoming wedding into the wreckage.I stood up slowly, walked around the desk, and gently took the
