The USB stick burned in my pocket as I stalked out of the shop like a man possessed.

Emily was gone.

Stolen from me.

And no one—not a single goddamn soul—had stopped it.

I stormed across the square, nearly shoving people out of my way. I didn’t care. Let them stare. Let them wonder. My world was collapsing around me, and the only thing holding me together was rage.

"Where the hell are they?" I barked, yanking my phone out and dialing Carter's number.

He answered on the first ring.

“Boss?”

“I need men here,” I snapped. “Now. Bring the local team. Bring whoever you can. I don’t care how far they are—get them here.”

“Understood.”

I hung up before he could ask why. I didn’t have time to explain. Not when every second that ticked by meant she was further away from me.

Emily.

God, Emily.

My chest felt like it was caving in.

How the hell had I let this happen?

I stood at the edge of the dock, breathing hard, fists clenched at my sides. The ocean stretched out before me, vast and glittering

    “You’re crazy,” I whispered, the words slipping out before I could stop them. My voice trembled, but I stood my ground. “You’ve completely lost your damn mind.”Liam didn’t flinch. He just stared at me, like I was the one being irrational. Like this whole twisted scenario made sense in his head.“I’m not crazy,” he said quietly. “I just… I can’t let you go.”I shook my head and moved toward the door. “You will let me go.”The second I tried to push past him, his arm shot out.In a flash, he grabbed me—one hand clamping around my wrist, the other wrapping around my waist—and before I could scream, I was airborne.I hit the mattress with a gasp, the air rushing from my lungs.“What the hell is wrong with you?!” I spat, scrambling up, my hair flying into my face. I tried to push past him again, but he shoved me back down with one arm. His grip wasn’t brutal, but it was strong enough to hold me in place.“Stop fighting me!” he growled.“Get your hands off me!” I screamed, writhing beneath

    I woke up with a gasp, heart slamming against my ribs like it was trying to escape my chest.Where—?The room was dark, but not completely. A sliver of moonlight spilled through the curtains, casting soft shadows across smooth marble floors and ornate furniture. The sheets beneath me were impossibly soft. The air smelled like cedarwood and something faintly floral.Panic gripped my spine.This wasn’t anywhere I recognized.I sat up quickly, my hand flying to my chest. My skin was clammy with sweat. My heart thundered like a war drum. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think.And then it hit me—the bump. The sharp sting. The way the world had collapsed beneath me like wet paper.Someone had drugged me.I threw the sheets off and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My bare feet touched the cool floor. I wasn’t tied up. I wasn’t restrained. But that didn’t bring much comfort.Where the hell was I?Where was Lorenzo?I pressed a trembling hand to my forehead, trying to piece t

    The breeze had cooled by the time I stepped away from the path and pulled out my phone.George's call came through again and I answered. “Boss.”His voice was brisk, professional as always, but I didn’t need it today. Today, I needed closure.“George,” I said, staring at the golden horizon as waves lapped gently against the docks. “I want you to shut it down.”A pause.“Shut what down?”“The investigation. My wife’s case.” The words came easier than I thought they would. “It’s over.”George was quiet for a beat, and then he sighed—but not like someone disappointed. It was a sound of relief. Like he’d been waiting years to hear me say those exact words.“Finally,” he murmured. “I mean—don’t get me wrong, sir. I would’ve kept searching until I dropped dead, if you asked me to. But… it’s good. That you’re ready.”I let out a slow breath. The air felt different now. Cleaner. Lighter. Like I’d just peeled off a skin I’d been wearing for too long.“Yeah,” I said softly. “The past should st

    The village looked like something out of a painting.The second I stepped off the boat, my breath caught in my throat. Cobblestone streets wound between sun-drenched buildings, their walls painted in soft pastels—peach, lavender, seafoam green. Bougainvillea vines spilled from balconies, trailing pink and purple petals onto the walkways below. Laughter rang in the air, light and melodic, and the scent of grilled herbs, roasted nuts, and something sweet hung thick in the breeze.It was magic.Lorenzo reached for my hand as I stared around, wide-eyed, and I let him twine our fingers together without hesitation. His grip was warm, strong, grounding—like an anchor keeping me from floating away in all the beauty around us.“This place is…” I trailed off, unable to find the right word.He looked at me, that lazy smile tugging at his mouth. “Yeah. Thought you’d like it.”Like it?I was enchanted.We walked deeper into the village, the sounds of music and chatter growing louder as we approac

    I took my time getting dressed.After everything Lorenzo and I had just done upstairs—after the way he ruined me, loved me, worshipped me with every hard, filthy thrust—I was still glowing. Still shaking a little.Still his.The sun poured in through the open balcony doors, warm and golden against my skin as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, slipping into the tiniest pair of denim shorts I owned. And I meant tiny. The kind that barely covered anything and left the bottom curves of my ass completely visible. The kind that required zero bending over unless I wanted a full-blown scandal.I tugged them up higher on my hips, admiring the effect, then reached for the white crop top I’d packed on a whim. It was soft and thin, nearly see-through in the sunlight. My nipples pressed against the fabric, hard and obvious, and I didn’t even try to cover them.I looked like trouble.Which was exactly the point.I smiled to myself, tousled my hair a little, then headed downstairs with slow
