Lauren’s POV

The call cut off, but the sound of that woman’s voice stayed trapped inside my skull.

“Transfer the first batch of the money or Julian gets everything tomorrow.”

My hand shook so badly I almost dropped the burner phone onto the marble floor.

Jesus Christ.

Forty-eight hours had become twenty-four.

No.

Less than that.

I stared at the dark screen, my chest tightening so hard it hurt to breathe. My reflection stared back at me from the penthouse windows—Serena’s face, Lauren’s fear.

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    Silas’s Last Stand

    Silas's POVNobody notices the man who's supposed to be watching the building.That was the whole trick of it, really. During the run to pull Julian out of Vivian's first trap, Tommy had me watching the building, my eyes were wide open, making sure nobody snuck up on us from behind while Lauren and the others went in. I'd already looked over Vivian's other building two days before, back when I was supposed to be scouting the coastline hiding spot instead. Officially, that's exactly what I was doing. Unofficially, I was learning something else entirely, who came and went, when the guards changed, the gap in the fence nobody had fixed. A dying man makes good use of his time.So when the fighting at the fortress hit its loudest point, when every gun on our side and theirs was pointed at each other and nobody had a spare second to wonder where Silas had gotten to, I slipped away after I told Tommy over the radio I was checking the road behind us for more of Vivian's men. He grunted and f

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    Lauren's Rescue

    Lauren's POV"Julian." My voice came out sharper than I meant it to. "Julian, what is it? What's wrong?"He didn't answer. He just kept staring at the screen, and cold shivers slid down my spine because I had never – not once, not even when he was tied to a chair for two days – seen him look like that."Give me the phone." I reached for it and he let me take it, which scared me more than anything else could have.'Come and save your wife.'I read it twice. Three times. My brain kept trying to make it make sense and it wouldn't, because I was right here. I was sitting two inches from him with his blood still under my fingernails from working those ropes loose."It's not about me," I said slowly."I know." His jaw was tight enough to crack. "I know it's not about you.""Then who–"He dragged both hands down his face. "Silas!"Silas leaned in from the front seat, already reaching for his own phone. "Boss.""A blocked number and private line. Trace it now.""On it." Silas's thumbs moved f

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    Ashes of the Empire

    Julian’s POV The gunfire started before I even saw Marco move. One second he was smiling at me like I was already dead, and the next, chaos ripped through the room. My men–Tommy's backup, the ones I didn't even know were in position –came through the side entrance, and Marco's men scattered, screaming, shooting wildly. "Get down!" Silas shoved Lauren behind a stack of crates, his body covering hers. I was still tied to the damn chair, my wrists felt raw and I could feel blood pounding in my ears, and all I could do was watch. Vivian was there. I saw her for half a second, in the doorway behind Marco, her face twisted with anger and disbelief. She hadn't expected this. She hadn't expected me to have men she didn't know about. "Vivian!" I shouted, but my voice cracked from thirst and two days of not saying a word. She didn't even look at me. She grabbed Marco by the collar and screamed something I couldn't hear over the gunfire, and then they were running, the both of them, ducki

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    Lauren's Rescue

    Lauren's POVWe had been sitting on that rooftop for three hours, and every minute felt longer than the last."You sure this is the place?" I whispered, my knees pressed against the cold concrete.Silas didn't take his eyes off his binoculars. "Tommy's guy checked it an hour ago. Two big containers, six men taking turns walking around, and one van that hasn't moved since noon.""That's not what I asked."He lowered the binoculars just enough to look at me. In the dark, his eyes looked almost black. "I'm sure, Lauren."My hands wouldn't stop shaking. It wasn't the cold. Julian had been gone two days now. Two days of silence. Two days of Vivian sending little messages through burner phones, telling us nothing except that she still had him, that she was still alive, that she was still winning."Positions," Tommy said quietly into his earpiece. He was a big man, built like a wall, but he moved as quiet as a cat when it mattered. "East team is in place. South team is ten seconds out.""And

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    The Trap

    Vivian's POVI'd been waiting for Julian Cross to come find me for three weeks now, and the fucking arrogant bastard had finally taken the bait.I watched him on the monitor feed from the security room upstairs, watched him stride into the warehouse like he owned the damn thing, two of his men flanking him, guns drawn, their eyes sweeping every shadow like he actually thought he was in control. It was almost sweet. Almost."He's in position," Marco said beside me, his voice low."I can see that." I didn't look away from the screen. "Is the gas line ready?""Ready.""And the men on the east corridor?""In place, ma'am."I smiled. Julian thought this was his hunt. He thought he'd tracked me down through some clever trail of money transaction records his people had pieced together, that he was closing in on me the same way he'd closed in on everyone else who'd ever crossed him. What he didn't know.... what he couldn't know, because I'd made sure of it.... was that I'd let him find this w

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    Serena’s Regret II

    Lauren’s POV Julian was gone before I could even process what he told me. One second he was standing in front of me with murder written all over his face, and the next the door was slamming shut behind him and three armed men.I sat on the couch for a long time, staring at nothing.Waiting by that phone felt like waiting to die.I sat on the couch with my knees pulled up to my chest, my phone in my lap, the screen dark because nobody had called. Julian had been gone almost two hours. Two hours of me staring at the door, jumping every time a car passed outside, my heart doing this awful stutter every single time.I should've fought harder to go with him. I should've grabbed a knife from the kitchen and just gotten in the damn car before he could stop me. But I hadn't. I'd stood there like some obedient little wife and let him walk out, and now all I could do was sit here and imagine every single way this could go wrong.My phone buzzed. I lunged for it so fast I nearly knocked it off

  • His Wrong Wife, His Right Obsession    Turn Between Fire and Safety

    Lauren’s POV The rain started before I even reached Silas's building.Seattle didn't do light drizzles. It came down hard and heavy, soaking through my jacket before I'd made it half a block from where I'd parked. I'd told Julian I needed air. Just air. He'd looked at me the way he always did lat

    CHAPTER THREE LAUREN’S POV Julian stopped moving completely. He just froze.For one very scary second, it felt like all the air left the room. I could not breathe. I did not step back.
