The message from Harrison lit up Ava's phone at midnight and my stomach dropped because I knew the trap had worked.

I read the words with her, my heart hammering against my ribs. The message was brief, clinical, exactly what we expected from a man like Harrison. "He wants to meet under Grand Central. The old tracks. He says he has the antidote if you give him the digital signature. He wants the foundation, the accounts, everything."

Ava looked at me, her eyes stead

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The Sins of the Father Revisited

    The weight of my father's name pressed down on me like the whole city sitting on my chest and I could not see a way out that did not break everything we built.I stood on the penthouse terrace alone just before dawn. The lights of New York stretched out below but they looked different now. Every bright window could hide another enemy. Another child of someone Victor destroyed. Harrison's words from the tunnels kept repeating in my head like a broken record. The children remember. The bloodline pays.Ava stepped outside and wrapped a robe tighter around herself. Her bare feet were silent against the cold tiles. "You have not slept. Come back inside Damien. You've been out here for hours."I turned to her, my voice rough from the cold air. "I cannot stop thinking about it. Every move we make creates more ghosts. Victor killed people. Real people with families. Those families grew up and now they run the Council. How do we ever get free from that? How

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The Subway Trap

    Gunshots echoed through the dark tunnels and I knew Harrison had brought friends to the party.I crouched behind an old metal pillar with two of my best men. The air smelled like rust and damp concrete. Water dripped somewhere ahead, a steady rhythm that counted the seconds. We had followed Harrison's transport after the Grand Central meet. He thought he could slip away through these abandoned lines but I was done playing nice."Spread out slow," I whispered to the team. "We take them quiet if we can. Harrison stays alive. We need answers."One of my guys nodded, his eyes scanning the darkness. "They have four with him. Armed. Looks like they were waiting for extraction."I checked my weapon, making sure the safety was off. "Good. Let us move. Stay in the shadows."We crept forward, our footsteps silent against the grimy concrete. Flashlights cut through the blackness up ahead, revealing Harrison and his team. His voice carried down t

The message was brief, clinical, exactly what we expected from a man like Harrison. "He wants to meet under Grand Central. The old tracks. He says he has the antidote if you give him the digital signature. He wants the foundation, the accounts, everything."Ava looked at me, her eyes steady despite the late hour. "This is our chance. I go alone. Act desperate. Get everything on record. We'll have him on tape admitting everything."I shook my head immediately. "No way. It is too dangerous. He's a doctor, he knows how to manipulate people. I should be there with you."Ava touched my arm, her fingers cool against my skin. "He will smell it if you are close. Harrison knows you, knows how protective you are. I have to sell the broken woman act perfectly. If he suspects a

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   Setting the CounterTrap

    Ava looked straight at the vaporizer we found and said we should leave it right there to draw them out.I stared at her, disbelief washing over me. After everything that device had done, after the weeks of hallucinations and fear and doubt, she wanted to keep it running. "You want to keep that thing working after what it did to you? After it nearly destroyed your mind?"Ava nodded, her eyes steady and clear. "Yes. I pretend I am still losing my mind. Act completely broken. They'll send someone to check on it, to make sure their plan is working. And when they come, we catch them redhanded."I rubbed my forehead, feeling the familiar ache of stress. "That sounds risky. You have been through hell already. You just proved you're not crazy. Why would you put yourself through more of this?"Ava took my hand, her grip firm. "It is the only way. They think I am weak now. They think their poison broke me. We use that against them. We turn their weapo

  • Forbidden Obsession: Falling for My Stepson   The Poisoned Air

    Ava climbed the ladder and pulled the vent cover loose, and I held my breath as she reached inside.My heart pounded as I watched her fingers probe the darkness of the duct. She had been insistent all morning convinced that something was hidden in the ventilation system, something that explained the whispers and the shadows. I had followed her, part of me still clinging to doubt, but another part hoping she was right."What is it?" I asked quickly, my voice tight with anticipation.Ava's hand emerged, clutching a small black device. It was no bigger than a matchbox, sleek and professional, with a tiny LED that pulsed faintly. "A micro vaporizer. Hidden in the master bedroom vent. It has been releasing something into the air. This is what's been happening to me, Damien. This is what they've been doing."I took it from her carefully, turning it over in my palm. The device was warm, still active. "This explains the voices. The clocks. Everythin

    Ava jumped at her own shadow in the hallway, and I felt my heart sink as I realized how bad things had gotten.I caught her arm gently, steadying her before she could stumble. "Ava, stop. You have not slept properly in days. What is going on? This isn't like you."Ava rubbed her face with both hands, her movements jerky and exhausted. "I keep hearing things. Seeing things. I thought the devices were gone, but it still feels wrong. Every shadow looks like someone watching me. Every whisper sounds like Victor's voice."I led her to the couch, my hand firm on her back. "Sit. Talk to me. I am worried about you. More than I've ever been."Ava sat down heavily, her body sinking into the cushions like she hadn't truly rested in weeks. "You think I am breaking down too? Like the Council wants you to believe? Like Harrison predicted?"I sat across from her, studying her face. The dark circles under her eyes. The way her hands trembled slightly

    Damien’s words from last night still burned in my ears.I barely slept. When morning came, I forced myself to get dressed in a simple white blouse and black skirt. My hands shook as I looked in the mirror. I felt dirty knowing Victor could come to me at any moment. I sold my body to a man old enoug

    Victor’s question hung in the air like a loaded gun.“Damien,” Victor repeated in that dangerously calm voice. “Did you touch my wife while I was gone?”My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought I might faint. I stood frozen between the two men. The mark on my neck suddenly felt like a bri

    Victor’s announcement made my heart race with fear and excitement at the same time.“I am leaving for London tonight for three days,” Victor said during breakfast. “Important meetings. Behave yourself while I am gone, Ava.”“Yes, Victor,” I replied quietly, keeping my eyes down.The moment his priv

    I signed my life away with a shaking hand.The pen felt heavy as I wrote my name on the marriage contract. At twentytwo years old, I had just become Mrs. Victor Langford.
