With a shake of his head, his hand came up slowly, almost tenderly, and settled against Olivia’s cheek. The gesture was so incongruous with the knife in his other hand that, for one disorienting second, she could not reconcile the two. His thumb moved along the curve of her cheekbone as if he were admiring something precious.

“This face,” he said quietly, his gaze fixed on her. “This face ruined my life.”

Olivia remained utterly still.

    With a shake of his head, his hand came up slowly, almost tenderly, and settled against Olivia’s cheek. The gesture was so incongruous with the knife in his other hand that, for one disorienting second, she could not reconcile the two. His thumb moved along the curve of her cheekbone as if he were admiring something precious.“This face,” he said quietly, his gaze fixed on her. “This face ruined my life.”Olivia remained utterly still.“You’re on every billboard within a ten-mile radius,” he continued, his voice thick with resentment. “I can’t go anywhere without seeing you. Your face is everywhere. You get to walk around like nothing happened while I have to live with everything you did to me.” The pressure of his fingers increased slightly. “I’m tempted to take this knife and cut it into ribbons.”Olivia’s eyes squeezed shut. She had been fighting the tears for so long that she no longer had the strength to keep them back. One finally slipped free, tracing a hot path down her cheek.

    Olivia fought to keep her face blank. He began looking around the room, his eyes moving over the furniture until they landed on her clutch, where she had dropped it earlier after coming home. He reached down, snatched up the bag and threw it onto her lap.The movement made Olivia flinch.“Call him.” Her fingers tightened around the clutch as Louis pointed the knife at her again. “Cancel your date.”He reached for the remote and muted the TV. The sudden silence felt deafening after the noise that had filled the room moments earlier.Olivia's pulse kicked harder. Louis turned back to her. “Do it.”With trembling fingers, she opened her clutch. Her phone was inside. She wanted to grab it immediately, to call Cyprus and somehow make him understand. To say anything, that might bring him to her door. But if she seemed too eager, Louis might become suspicious, and then she truly would have nothing. So Olivia hesitated. Her fingers hovered over the phone.Louis glared at her.. “What are you w

    She did. She had no choice. His face was only inches away, his eyes bright with an unsettling mixture of resentment and possessiveness.“This is your fault,” he said.Olivia's brows drew together.“If you'd just given me a fair chance, we wouldn't be sitting here like this.” His voice softened, which made it more frightening. “We could have been having a much more pleasant conversation right now.” The knife remained beneath her chin. “What does Blackwell have that I don't?”Olivia said nothing. There was no answer she could give that would satisfy him. So instead, she asked the question that had been clawing at her since the moment she saw him. “How did you get into my house? How did you get past my bodyguards?”A broad smile spread across his face. It was the smile of someone pleased with himself. “Oh,” he said. “That was easy.”Her heart sank.“Yesterday, while you were working and out of the house with your bodyguards, I came in through one of the back windows.” He chuckled. “Your

    The question flashed through her mind as Louis jerked his head toward the living room. “Move,” he said.Olivia obeyed. She forced one foot in front of the other, painfully aware of the knife in his hand, and walked out of the kitchen. Louis followed close enough that she could almost feel his presence at her back. Every instinct screamed at her to run, but she kept moving.Her entire body was shaking now. She could not hide it. Her knees felt weak, and her fingers trembled so violently that she had to clench them to keep them from betraying her.“Sit.”The gruff command came almost as a relief. Olivia lowered herself onto the sofa before her knees could give out on their own. Louis remained standing over her. The knife was still pointed in her direction.He reached across the room, picked up the remote control and turned on the television. The screen illuminated the darkened living room, filling it with the voices of some late-night sitcom. Louis raised the volume by another notch, th

    That single thought cut through the terror with brutal clarity. Whatever happened next, she could not afford to do anything reckless. She did not know why this man was here. She did not know what he wanted. She did not know whether there was anyone else with him in the house.Most importantly, she did not know what he would do if she screamed.Olivia's eyes remained fixed on him as she tried to control the trembling in her hands. She curled them slowly into fists at her sides, digging her fingernails into her palms until the sharp little sting gave her something else to focus on.The man's expression was almost unsettlingly calm. There was a small smile tugging at his mouth, as if the situation amused him and Olivia was the only person who had not yet understood the joke.She did not think she knew him.And yet...there was something about his face, something familiar. Her gaze moved carefully over his features, taking in the rough beard, the hollowness in his cheekbones, the lean face

    She stepped inside and quietly closed the door behind her. The lights in the living room were still on.She looked toward the couch and found Dani there, an empty glass of fruit juice sitting on the table beside her and an open book resting across her lap. Her head had fallen slightly to one side, her eyes closed as she dozed.The moment the door clicked shut, Dani jerked awake. She blinked several times before focusing on Olivia. “Hey.”Olivia smiled. “Hey. How were the girls?”Dani returned the smile, though there was unmistakable sleepiness in her eyes. “They were perfect.”Olivia's brows rose. “Really? Even Hazel?”“Mostly.”That earned a laugh from her. Dani adjusted herself on the couch and closed the book over one finger to keep her place. “There was a mini war over a blanket and Poppy wanted three separate bedtime stories.”Olivia shook her head, smiling. “But they're both asleep now?”“Fast asleep,” Dani confirmed.Olivia crossed the room and dropped her clutch onto the couch
