“HUNTER NO!!!!!!!”

Addison is screaming, her voice gut-wrenching, as with eyes open but not conscious, she grabs my chest. Holding her close to my heart, I soothe her, saying her name and rubbing her back as I kiss her hair, rocking back and forth.

“Addison! Addy! It’s okay.” She is so terrified, so lost and unaware of what is real and what isn’t. It is a trauma response, one I’ve seen in survivors before. Whatever happened to her as a child must have been worse than she has told me. Something so bad she can't even let herself remember it fully.

I know that feeling. I have them too.

“Please, Addy, come back to me," I beg, forcing my voice to stay strong even though a part of me wants to hide in a corner with her. "I've got you. You're safe."

It takes several minutes for her eyes to focus and her face to show signs of recognition. “Hunter, you’re not dead?”

“Shh,” I move one of her strands of hair behind her ear. Her elegant updo is a bit mussed now, making her look even more

This sounds like it's going to be one heck of a night.

    [Addison]Breathe.I need to remember how to breathe. "It was just an engine backfiring," a member of my security detail announces. Slowly they released me from the tight huddle they had made around my body as a human shield. As Charley stands, I notice her Kevlar vest visible around the edges of her dress shirt and I'm grateful knowing that none of my guards were actually in serious danger."Have you stopped them at the intersection?" One of my guards speaks quietly into their earpiece. "Are their identities confirmed? Yes. Okay, let them go." He then turns to inform me that it was "Just a delivery car."My heart is racing. I'm glad that Livy wasn't here to see and hear this panic. She has been seeing a therapist twice a week to deal with the trauma from the day she was attacked. She saw me almost die and watched her favorite babysitter killed in front of her. She may never recover--just like I have never recovered from seeing my own parents die. Can I live like this? Should I take

    [Addison]With a single statement, my world has been turned upside down. My professor, my mentor, was the one who saved my life all those years ago, hiding me away under a different name so that I might have a chance at survival. So many questions are swirling around in my head. He said my case was the reason he quit working for the NYPD, but how much of his life has he spent protecting me? “Does the executor of my grandmother’s estate know?” I think back to when I asked for my file–the names of the officers involved had been redacted, marked into non-existence with a thick black marker. “No,” he shakes his head. “The only people who knew, sadly, are dead, likely taken out by the same people who destroyed your family.” He smiles sadly. “Funny enough that you’d end up working for his son and starting a family with him.” “Michael?” My first thought goes to my ex-husband. “But his father was a plumber and…” McCannon shakes his head with an amused smirk. “Not him.”And then I remember

    [Addison]Adam Wright smiles at me with his million-dollar popstar smile between the fullest, most sensual lips I’ve ever seen on a man, or anyone. He’s handsome in a pretty way, his auburn hair cut artfully and yet still professional, framing his warm amber eyes which kiss at the corners at a sharp angle to match his architectural cheekbones. Today he is wearing thin, wire-rimmed glasses which take away from his K-pop appearance, and the German that spills from his mouth reminds me he’s not only attractive, but world traveled and intelligent. “German isn’t one of my languages,” I apologize as I hold out my hand. “Mr. Wright, what brings you to Grant Group.” “CCRP has been handed a case that involves racketeering on a global financial scale. The legal team here at Grant Group have more of a specialization in corporate finance law specifically, and a much larger global reach. We were hoping to collaborate.” McCannon’s eyes sparkle as he looks up at me. Something has him amused. “And

    [Addison]I’m wrapped in silk sheets, a warm body pressed into my back, when my eyes flutter open and I realize I am no longer in the courtroom. I’m home, in bed with my lover. But how did I get here? Everything after the moment that I heard the judge say that my son is going to go to Michael feels like a foggy dream.“You’re awake,” Hunter kisses the base of my neck as he snuggles in tighter, the heat of his body warming away my fears. “I was worried.” “How did we end up naked in bed,” I turn my head around, an eyebrow curved with amusement. “I carried you, of course. You passed out in the car,” he explains logically with a straight face. “And you’re naked because I wasn’t going to put you to bed wearing clothing. You’d be achy and sore if I did that.” “Is that so?” my lips curl and he smiles back at me. “Then why are you naked too and in bed with me? You didn’t take advantage of me did you?”“Never,” he kisses me gently and I melt into him, enjoying the sensation of his firm muscl

    [Hunter]Even with the most sophisticated image recreation technology on and off the market and a small team working vigilantly to refine the image, they announced that they weren't able to read the name on the badge, but they were able to determine that whoever it was isn't a full-time employee of the school. "Some kind of substitute or temporary worker," they surmised,"We can't give you more information because the image is incomplete," the team leader announced nervously, "The shot is good, but the pixelation is too much, the image of the badge is too small. We have a few more tricks we can try, but we'll need more than an hour. I'm sorry, sir.""How long do you need?" I demand, my temper flaring. It's not his fault, but I also have so many other concerns on my mind. "I'm sorry, but this is important. I need this information." Taking a slow deep breath I add. "How long do you think you'll need?" "3-5 days," the lead imager confirms. "One week at the most. We need to recreate the..

    [Hunter]The last text from Carter has me worried. Something isn't right with Addy, I can feel it in my gut. She needs me, I just know it. But there has been a new disappearance, the daughter of the Ambassador from Sudan, staying in the city for the UN Summit next week, never made it home from school. She was only 8.
