IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 66 - The Bookseller
Eliza's POVThe bookstore smelled like paper and dust and something else. Something I recognized but couldn't name.Eleanor stood behind the counter, her hands folded, her eyes on my face. She was smaller than I'd imagined. Older. The photograph in my mother's box had shown a young woman with dark hair and fierce eyes. This woman was gray and soft and looked like she hadn't slept in years."You look like her," Eleanor said. "Your mother. She had the same eyes. The same way of standing. Like she was ready for anything.""I'm not ready for anything.""Neither was she." Eleanor smiled. It was sad. "But she pretended. Every day. Right up until the end."I wanted to be angry. I'd come here to be angry. But standing in this quiet bookstore, watching this old woman fold her hands and wait, the anger felt far away."Why did you do it?"Eleanor looked at the window. At the street outside, dark now, the town settling into
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 65 - The Grandmother
Eliza's POVThe plane touched down at LAX at midnight.I'd spent the entire flight staring at my phone, waiting for Margaret to call back. She didn't. Reyes had teams trying to trace the call, track the location, find anything. Nothing. Margaret Vane had disappeared again. The same way she'd disappeared forty years ago.Adam held my hand the whole way home. He didn't try to talk. Didn't try to make it better. He just held on.Clara was asleep when we walked in. My aunt was in the living room, waiting, her face pale."I know," she said before I could speak. "I know she's alive."I stopped. "You knew?""I suspected. For years. There were things your mother never explained. Letters she burned. Phone calls she took in the other room. A woman she met in secret, once a year, always in a different city.""Why didn't you tell me?"My aunt looked at her hands. "Because I didn't know. Not for sure. And becau
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 64 - The Bank
Eliza's POVZurich was cold.The kind of cold that seeped through wool coats and settled in bones. I stood at the window of the hotel room, watching the city wake beneath a gray sky, and tried to remember the last time I'd felt warm.Adam came up behind me. His arms wrapped around my waist."You've been standing there for an hour.""I've been thinking.""About?""About my mother. About what she would have done. If she'd lived long enough to see this moment."He rested his chin on my shoulder. "She would have told you not to be afraid.""She would have told me to be smart. That fear is useful if you know how to use it.""And do you?"I turned to face him. "I'm terrified. But I know why they want me to come alone. I know what they think they're going to get. And I know—" I touched his face. "I know they don't know you're here. That's the advantage."Reyes appeared in the do
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 63 - The Trap
Eliza's POVThe money moved at 9:47 a.m.I watched the numbers blink across the screen, my mother's photograph beside me, Adam's hand on my shoulder. Three accounts. Four. Five. The funds my mother had hidden for forty years, flowing through channels we'd created, channels designed to look vulnerable, channels that led exactly where we wanted them to go.Reyes stood behind the analyst, her face tight. "They're taking the bait.""How long until we can trace them?""Minutes. Hours. Depends on how many layers they built."The Circle had been waiting forty years. They'd had time to build walls within walls, accounts within accounts, a maze of money designed to disappear.But they'd made one mistake.They'd underestimated my mother.---The First AccountThe analyst's voice was steady, professional. "Account one is routing through the Caymans. Standard offshore structure. We're tr
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 62
Eliza's POVThree days passed in silence.No messages. No threats. No shadows at the edge of the garden. Diana Webb was in federal custody, her assets frozen, her web of conspirators scattering like roaches in light. Reyes called twice a day with updates that weren't updates. The others—the ones Diana had warned about—had gone underground. Waiting. Watching.The silence was worse than the threats.Adam took Clara to school every morning. I watched from the window, my hand pressed against the glass, tracking the car until it disappeared. At night, I lay awake, listening to the house settle, waiting for a sound that wasn't there."You're wearing yourself out," Adam said on the third night. His voice was soft in the darkness."I can't stop.""I know." He pulled me closer. "But you need to rest. For Clara. For yourself.""I'll rest when this is over.""When will that be?"I didn't have an answ
IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY CHAPTER 61
Eliza's POVThe message glowed on my phone like a warning.Same place. Same time. Come alone.I read it again, as if the words would rearrange themselves into something less threatening. They didn't.Adam pulled the car to the side of the road. Turned to face me."You're not going alone.""I have to. They said—""They said come alone because they want you vulnerable. Isolated. Easy to control." He took the phone from my hands. "This is how they operate. The Collective, whoever's left—they don't fight fair. They find the crack and they push."I knew he was right. Every instinct I'd sharpened through years of war was screaming the same thing.But there was another voice. Quieter. Older.Some doors only open for one person."I need to know who it is," I said. "If there are others—people who've been watching, waiting—I need to understand what they want. What they know.""Then
