~ JACKSON ~

None of us slept after Victor's text.

By six in the morning, I had made the call I should have made days ago. Roman picked up on the second ring, and he did not sound asleep.

People like Roman hardly sleep.

"Jackson," he greeted. "It is six in the morning. Someone had better be dead or in love. Pick your poison."

"Both, sort of. I need help. The real one that put a killing offer on your head. And I need you not to ask questions over the phone."

There was a slight scoff. Then, calm

    ~ LISA ~Victor's voice came through the speaker in Damien's study, smug and excited, every person in the room stopped breathing at once.Roman was already moving, phone to his ear, calling his men parked two streets from the estate. Damien stood over the laptop with his jaw set very hard. Eva's hand had found mine at some point and I had not noticed until her rings were digging into my fingers."He knew," Zac whispered from the corner. " Lisa, how could he know about how you knew your parents were being threatened?"I could not answer. My whole body was frozen in places as all sorts of scenes played out in my mind. "You are quiet," Victor's voice echoed, he chuckled and I could hear him walking, slow circles. "That is fine. You have always been better at listening than people gave you credit for. So sixteen years old you were listening through a wall on your parents' conversation. Do you know, your father came to us and told us about that? He begged us, actually. He said, ‘My daug

    ~ JACKSON ~The wire itched against my chest and I tried my best not to fidget so I wouldn't be caught.If I was caught, it would likely ruin everything. Damien's security man checked to see if it was moving, when he saw it wasn't uncomfortable he gave me a warning. "Do not touch it, and do not look down at it. Also don't stand near speakers. And whatever happens, do not take off your shirt.""That last one might disappoint my brother's guests," I joked.Nobody laughed but I caught Lisa's smile. My hands were shaking badly, I had done an action movie once but Lord nothing prepares one for the real thing, especially when your loved one might get hurt if one ends up making any mistake.Roman drove me himself and parked two streets from the estate gates. Lisa had fought me for an hour about coming along and lost, because Victor seeing her tonight would likely destroy the act.She sat in Damien's house instead with a phone in her hand, listening live to everything the wire caught.Which

Then, calm as a man ordering coffee, "you know my office and be there by nine also bring whoever this is about."He hung up. Lisa was staring at me from across the kitchen."That was my friend," I told her. She still looked out of it, so I decided to fill the silence with my words. "Roman Cage. And where Roman goes…""Damien Blackwood follows," she finished faintly. "Jackson, I know who they are. Damien is Eva's husband. My boss's husband. If Damien knows, Eva knows, and I have been lying to that woman's f

    ~ LISA ~Mark made coffee at midnight because it seemed none of us were going to sleep anyway.We sat around his small kitchen table. Me, my brother, and Jackson. If someone had told me three months ago that this exact arrangement of people would exist on this earth, I would have laughed in their face and then asked what they were smoking.Jackson had taken off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves. The movie star was gone. What was left was a tired man with red eyes who kept glancing at me as if he was checking that I had not disappeared."Call Zac," Jackson murmured absentmindedly. When I didn't respond, he looked up from his phone, meeting my eyes. "He should be here for this.""But it's midnight.""Lisa." He sighs, massaging his temple, the poor guy looked really tired. "My brother knows who you are. I got your brother's address from what his investigator has on your siblings in a folder on his desk. Nobody in this room has the luxury of sweet sleep hours anymore if we want to be

    ~ LISA ~Someone was pounding on Mark's door at eleven at night. Both of us looked at each other.Fear gripped me, scared I had brought trouble to my brother's home. Mark got there first, already rolling up his sleeves almost as if he was a man who fights strangers for a living, which he does not. My brother manages a logistics office, he wasn't a boxer but I guess he throws a good punch after all I specifically taught each of my siblings how to.He looked through the peephole and his whole body went very stiff. "It's him," he sneered. "It's the younger Hill, boy."My heart dropped to my stomach and for a while, I forgot how to breathe. "Lisa." Jackson's voice came through the door, loud and urgent as he continued pounding on the door. "I know you're in there. Open the door or I will stand here all night.""Do not open it," Mark warned.But I shook my head at him. “ He won't leave if I don't.” And as such, I opened the door. Jackson stood in the hallway with his hair disheveled a

    ~ JACKSON ~I couldn't sleep that night, all I kept thinking about was how Victor called me at nine in later in the night."Come to the estate," he ordered. "You must come alone tonight.""Victor, I have a five a.m. call time for the morning show…""Jackson." His voice did not rise but I knew he was on his last straw. "Come home tonight."He hung up before I could argue.I sat on the edge of my bed for a full minute staring at the phone. Victor did not summon people. My brother arranged things so that people arrived on their own and believed it was their idea.But a direct summons meant the game was over on something, I did not know on what it is.I stood up and dressed up to leave wondering what he wanted. The drive home felt longer than usual. The gates opened for me and the house sat there shining against the dark, all forty rooms of it.Because of this, for the first time in my life I looked at my family home and felt dread instead of boredom.The butler directed me to the stud

    ~ DAMIEN'S POV ~"Bring her to me."Roman looked up from his phone. "Tonight?""Now."He nodded and stepped out without another word, and I leaned back slightly, letting the information he had just given me settle properly.So Claude Beaumont had engineered the entire filing, using Isabelle as the
