Amanda’s POV

The ICU smelled of antiseptic and something i couldn't point out. Humming sound came from the machine, filling the silent room with different beeps.

I stood on the other side of the glass, my arms wrapped tightly around my body as if that would put the broken parts of me together.

Adam lay still, too still. His chest rose and fell with the help of the ventilator, his face was pale against the pillow

My heart ached, i pressed my forehead against the glass in an attempt to see his face clearly, my throat hurting from my screams.

"You won't leave me like this, Adam. You can't just close your eyes and disappear, you'll be here with us." I whispered through the lump in my throat.

I believed he could hear me, that somehow my words could bring him back to me, but the beep of the monitor remained the same, the stillness of his lips broke me over and over again.

Rage boiled inside, burning hotter that the tears rolling down my face. Someone had done this, i wa

    Amanda’s POVWe stood frozen on the busy sidewalk, cars rushing by, strangers weaving around us. To everyone else, it was just another afternoon in the city. But to me, the world had narrowed down to Adam’s burning eyes and the storm they carried."You heard me," I whispered.He released my shoulders abruptly, pacing a few steps away, his hands digging into his hair. "That bastard thinks he can corner you like that? Like your life is some bargaining chip he can cash in?""Adam, please."He spun back toward me, fury blazing. "No. You don’t get to stand there and make this sound normal. Amanda, he’s manipulating you. Using the trial, using Levi, using your fear."My chest tightened, my own anger sparking. "What choice do I have, Adam? Tell me! Should I just roll over and let the Stewards destroy me? Should I let them take Levi from me? Ruin my name until I’m nothing but a headline?_The desperation in my voice cracked something inside me. People glanced as they passed, bu

    Amanda’s POVHis words hung in the air like a gun suspended over my head.*I’ll help you. But there’s something you need to understand first.*I stiffened. My fingers curling against my sides, My pulse thundered in my ears. This was it, the part I've be scared about, Thomas White will definitely want something in return for his help.I lifted my chin, forcing myself to meet his gaze. "What do you mean?"He didn’t answer right away, instead, he moved back toward his desk with deliberate slowness, as though reminding me that in this room, in this entire building, he controlled the pace. He settled into his chair and wrapped his fingers around each other, eyes fixed on me with unnerving calm.“You’re in a war, Amanda. The Stewards have influence, yes. But influence only matters as long as no one challenges it. With me behind you, the narrative changes. Judges hesitate, witnesses reconsider, and suddenly evidence that was buried comes to light. But…” He leaned forward slightly. "My suppo

    Amanda’s POVI stared at my phone for so long that my vision blurred.Thomas White.The name alone carried weight, so much weight that my fingers trembled just looking at the name He wasn’t a man people called, he was the man who called you, if you were lucky enough to matter to him. And yet here I was, holding my phone like it was a ticking bomb, knowing Adam was right, knowing Levi’s safety was on the line, but still paralyzed by the thought of dialing those numbers.Adam paced in front of me like a restless mother. "Amanda, it’s just a call, not a marriage proposal."I shot him a sharp look. "Don’t joke about marriage, not right now."He froze, studying me, "I wasn’t joking. You’re terrified, aren’t you?"I didn’t answer, because the truth was written all over my face. Terrified wasn’t even the word asking Thomas for help felt like opening a door that couldn’t be closed again."Adam," I whispered, setting the phone down. "You don’t understand. Men like him, they

    Amanda’s POVThe sound of the gavel still echoed in my ears long after the judge had risen and left the courtroom. Cold and final, It was supposed to mean order, justice, fairness. But to me, it sounded like a verdict before the trial had even begun.I walked out of that courtroom with the same weight I had carried for months. Adam’s kidnapping trial, Veronica’s looming lawsuit, Custody battles over Levi, now, as though the universe had conspired against me, I was painted as a murderer. The whispers followed me everywhere, through the corridors, down the tiled steps, into the parking lot where reporters pushed microphones into my face."Miss Amanda, do you have a statement about Veronica Steward’s death?""Did you and Mrs. Steward argue the night before her body was found?""Do you deny that you had motive, given her plans to take your son to his biological father?"I kept my eyes forward, my jaw tightly shut, refusing to give them what they wanted, a reaction. But

    Amanda’s POVThe trip had been everything I didn’t know I needed.Levi’s hand tucked into mine, his smile brighter than the sun on his face, Adam’s quiet joke, those simple things stitched me back together in ways courtrooms and endless strategies never could.When we rolled our suitcases back into the house, I actually caught myself humming, the tension in my shoulders had eased, the lines around Adam’s eyes had softened. For the first time in forever, we looked like a family returning from holiday instead of refugees fleeing a war.I was still laughing at something Levi said when the knock came, I froze, suitcase handle slipping from my hand.There was a sudden shift in the air and i was sure Adam felt it with the way his eyes immediately moved to me.When I opened the door, I found three officers standing in their dark uniforms, faces looking like they were carved from stone."Amanda James?" the tallest one asked."Yes," I whispered, my throat already closing."

    Selene’s POVThe glass of wine trembled in my hand, though I tried to steady it with a laugh, a hollow one. It wasn’t funny, nothing was, but it felt better to laugh than to scream. The nanny sat across from me, her hands folded neatly on her lap, her eyes too sharp for a servant. She had this way of tilting her head like she was waiting for me to finally break.And maybe I had."Madam, you’re not yourself," she said softly, almost too softly. "You’ve been carrying this burden alone.""Burden?" I scoffed, sipping again. The alcohol burned but not enough to numb me. "What do you know about burdens? Do you know what it feels like to have everything, but know it can be taken in an instant? Ryan doesn’t see it, Blair doesn’t understand it, and Veronica–" My jaw tightened. She's slowly becoming a pain in the ass."Her lips curved, the faintest smile. "Levi."The name was enough to choke me. "Yes, Levi. My mother-in-law doesn’t give a damn about Blair, Her eyes light up o
