~ 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 smil

    ~ JACKSON~Afterward we lay in a soaked bed with the smell of what we just did in the air and I laughed at the ceiling for no reason at all."What?""I still can't believe two million people signed a petition against me today," I said. “ And they don't know that my accounts are frozen.” She bit my shoulder. "Do not tell people that. It is unhinged.""Everything about us from the start is unhinged. You broke into my house, remember.""Well, you made me your fake girlfriend.""You destroyed my family.""Your family destroyed my family.""True," I said. "We are even. Go to sleep."Three weeks later, I asked her to marry me. There were no candles like I would have wanted but I would do better once my accounts are unfrozen. I asked her on a Friday afternoon at the cemetery, standing at the bottom of the path because she had gone up to tell her parents that the appeals from my father to be released had been denied.I had watched her come back down lighter with a smile, she was even hummi

    ~ JACKSON ~My agency called me eight days after the verdict, somehow I knew the reason why.Cathy called me herself, which I suppose was the polite way she could say what she was about to tell me.She spoke for six minutes about brand deals, market trends but never once did she say the actual sentence, so I said it for her."Cathy. Is the agency firing me?""No, they are releasing you as I am as well.""Releasing me from what?""Jackson." She sighed. "The Serona film pulled you this morning. The perfume campaign pulled you last night. There is a petition with over two million signatures asking every studio in this country not to hire a Hill again. Two million, Jackson. I cannot sell a name that people are signing petitions against.""It's my surname, Cathy," I said. "Not me.""In this business those are the same thing," she said, and she hung up.She was not wrong. I checked the petition later that night, which was a stupid thing to do.I read over two hundred comments, which was a s

    ~ LISA ~The trial of Harrison Hill began three days after my attempted kidnap. Marty arrived with a thermos, three cushions, and a damn laminated seating plan he had made himself.He gets funnier everyday, maybe it's something he is getting from Roman. I tried to hide my laugh as Eva side-eyed him."Why is it laminated?" Eva asked, unable to hold it in anymore."Because court sitting is unpredictable and I am not," Marty said, handing me a cushion. "Sit on this. These benches were designed by people who obviously hate hips."I had to bite my lips not burst into laughter when Eva rolled her eyes at him, muttering under her breath if he was there for entertainment.I wore black, my siblings had asked why and well, I told them the truth. Which was, to honor my parents memory that finally, their murderer was getting punished.Amy nodded and even helped pin my hair the way our mother used to pin hers, and neither of us said it out loud that we were suddenly obviously very emotional. Har

    ~ JACKSON ~Marty's scream was still ringing in my ears when the black car disappeared into traffic.For three whole seconds, I could not move. My body simply refused. I stood on those courthouse steps watching the space where the car had been, and the whole world narrowed down to one thought.He has her.Marty suddenly grabbed my arm, shaking, tears already streaming down his face, and did the bravest thing I have ever watched a soft guy like him do."Plate," he gasped. "I got the plate. Write it down before I forget, WRITE IT DOWN."He recited it twice without a single mistake. Marty, who cries at the slightest harm being done to someone, made me proud of him. After that, everything became a blur of everyone screaming orders. Roman had the car on traffic cameras inside six minutes, barking into two phones at once. Damien pulled two retired detectives and one very motivated active one onto a conference call by minute nine. Eva took Amy and David to a secure floor and refused to le

    ~ LISA ~I saw the message at seven in the morning, wrapped in Jackson's arms, warm and sore in the best ways, while reaching lazily for my phone to check the time.After I read it, the warmth quickly died in my body. "Jackson."Probably, the way my voice sounded had Jackson sitting up quickly as he looked everywhere.Until his eyes landed on my phone, he read the screen, and I watched the softness of sleep leave his face."What the hell?” He growled. “ He's in custody," I whispered. "How is he sending…""Lawyers pass phones at the same time, guards get paid. Also, it's my family, Lisa. Nothing locked has ever stayed locked for us." He was already dialing Roman's number but he stopped when his own notifications came in and he went very tense, looking at his phone.I tapped him and he turned his screen toward me.UNKNOWN NUMBER, 2:07 AM: You disappoint me little brother, it's a shame you are using your freedom like this. Anyways, let us see how you like the other job.The other job.

    ~ LISA ~The next day, Mac published at six in the morning and the media went into an uproar.The headline ‘THE INNOCENT DRIVER: HOW THE HILL FAMILY FRAMED AND FORCED A MAN TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE THEREBY BURYING THE TRUTH ALONGSIDE HIS NAME FOR TEN YEARS.’He led with my father’s face, it was the garage photo, my dad was squinting his eyes into the sun, looking tired but happy and alive. By seven it was every network airing it. By eight the district attorney said the word I had waited ten years for. Exoneration. By twelve, strangers all over the country were saying my father’s name and they spoke highly of him.Amy broke first, followed by David. Mark just breathed loudly and I sat there feeling a wound that had been opening for the past ten years slowly healed.That evening, Eva shoved a key into my hand. “This is the key to our guest penthouse. The war is over. You are allowed to be happy now. That is an order.”Marty leaned in as they shoved me into the elevator. “Jackson has the o

    ~ 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
