SERENA

I didn't even wait for the doorman to finish talking when I flashed my ID in his face and told him I worked for Knight Enterprises. He looked at the card then back up at me, then back at the card like he was trying to decide if I was lying. He looked like he was conflicted on whether to believe me or not, then he finally sighed and said, "Ma'am, Mr. Knight hasn't been down in days. I can't let anyone up unless he confirms it."

"It's an emergency," I said. "He's not answering any calls, and he’s not responding to texts. Nobody has seen him in several days now. Please, just come with me if it makes you feel better. I just need to know he's alright."

I guess something in my voice convinced him because he nodded and led me to the elevator. My heart was beating so hard that I could feel it in my throat, and the whole ride up felt painfully slow even though the numbers were changing fast. When the elevator finally opened, we stepped out into the quiet hallway with polished floors and

    SERENAGoing into work the next morning felt like walking through a minefield, and I found myself scanning every hallway before I turned a corner, half expecting to run straight into one of the Knights. I kept my head down and hugged my laptop to my chest, and when I sat down, I stared only at my screen and refused to look up. Thankfully I didn’t see Adrian, and I did not see Aiden either, which should have been a relief but instead it made my nerves worse because I kept waiting for it to happen.I was just settling into my chair and opening my first spreadsheet when my desk phone rang."Serena Hale," Ms. Stanton's new assistant said crisply, "Laura wants to see you in her office. Now."My stomach tightened immediately, and for a split second I started imagining all the horrible things that could be the reason for her summoning me right now. "Okay," I said, already standing up. "I'm on my way."Her office door was open when I got there, and Ms. Stanton was standing beside her desk w

    SERENAThe nursing home smelled like disinfectant and overcooked vegetables, and every time I walked through those doors it hit me all over again how much I hated that this was where my mother lived now. Lola walked beside me quietly, carrying a small paper bag with fruit and biscuits we had picked up on the way, and she squeezed my hand once as we signed in at the front desk.“I hate this place,” she whispered as we walked in. “I just get the creeps whenever we’re here.”“I was thinking the exact same thing,” I said. “It’s nice, but it feels like a prison.”“Do you ever think about the fact that we’re going to eventually end up here one day?” she asked.“I hope we’re in the same home,” I chuckled. “We can play bingo together and crochet on the porch at sunset.”She pretended to tear up as she touched my shoulder dramatically, and I rolled my eyes at her as we walked away from the front desk and headed for the common room. "Hey, are you good?" Lola asked softly as we walked into the

    AIDENI found Mother in the backyard, exactly where I knew she would be, standing on the trimmed grass with a golf club in her hands like the world had not just tilted under all of us. She was dressed in white and she looked so immaculate and controlled, with her hair pulled back neatly and her posture rigid in that familiar way that always made her look taller than she actually was. She took a slow swing, then she watched the ball disappear into the distance, and only then did she turn to look at me like I was an inconvenience she had not planned for.Her mouth tightened immediately, and I could tell she was already irritated, since she hadn’t expected to see me. It was the main reason why I didn’t tell her I was coming before I did, so I could take the time to savor this look of contempt on her face. “Hello, mother,” I said. “You look surprised to see me.”“I’m always surprised to see you, Aiden,” she said. “Sometimes I honestly forget I have a second son.”“Hurtful,” I said, stepp

    ADRIANI arrived at the Knight estate with my jaw clenched so tightly that my teeth ached, the gates opening automatically as my car rolled up the long driveway that I had driven down a thousand times before but that felt foreign today in a way I couldn't explain. I parked near the back lawn because I already knew where she would be, and sure enough my mother was out there in crisp white pants and a fitted polo, lining up a golf shot like the world had not just collapsed on itself overnight.She didn't even look at me when I stepped onto the grass, and the sound of the club striking the ball cleanly echoed across the yard as she followed through smoothly, watching it land with obvious satisfaction before she finally turned her head slightly in my direction.“Adrian,” she said in a muted tone. “I’m surprised to see you here.”“Hello mother,” I replied. “I half expected you to be out.”“Oh, I have a meeting to attend in a few hours,” she said. “I’m meeting with Senator Barnes to discuss

    ADRIANI woke up on the floor with my head pounding and my mouth tasting like blood, and for a few long seconds I had no idea where I was or why my back hurt the way it did. The first thing I noticed was the blanket half draped over me, which felt scratchy and unfamiliar. The second thing was the ache in my ribs from sleeping twisted on cold hardwood all night like I deserved it.The hallway ceiling swam above me as I blinked, and the memories slowly came back in ugly chunks. I remembered the boardroom, Aiden's face when the vote flipped, and the sound of my name being stripped from the board like it was nothing. Then I remembered the bar, how I drank too much whiskey, and my phone buzzing with numerous phone calls from Serena and a few from Maria. Then I remembered Serena's apartment, her couch and the warmth of her hands, and my head on her chest.But I couldn’t remember anything else after that. And that blank space scared me more than the headache did.I pushed myself up slowly, g

    (The following chapter contains some sensitive scenes, so please be warned)SERENAI woke up slowly with an unbearable dryness in my throat, and my neck throbbing from the wrong angle on the couch. I felt like my mind was lagging behind my senses, and I was confused about why I was still dressed, why the lights were off, and why there was a warm solid weight pressed against me that was not a blanket.Slowly, everything came back in fragments, and I remembered what happened with Adrian in the boardroom, the drinking, and him falling asleep with his head on my chest like that was the most natural place in the world for him to be.I blinked into the dim room where the only light came from the city outside slipping in through the half open blinds, and his breathing was deep and steady against me, his arm still wrapped around my waist in the same careless way it had been when we drifted off. I shifted slightly to ease the ache in my back, moving carefully so I would not wake him, and that
