Eliza's POV

My phone buzzed.

I glanced down. Unknown number. No preview visible. I swiped it open.

Scott's accident wasn't the only one. Want to know about your father?

The world stopped.

I stared at the words. Read them three times. Four. They didn't change.

Want to know about your father?

My hand tightened on the phone.

Adam noticed. "What?"

I couldn't speak. Just turned the screen toward him.

He read

  • IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY   CHAPTER 12

    Eliza's POVAdam made it in seventeen minutes.I knew because I counted. The viewing room had no windows, no clock, nothing but buzzing fluorescents and the weight of what I'd just read. So I counted. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three. The rhythm kept me from thinking. From feeling. From opening the box again and reading the letter until the words dissolved.When the door finally opened, he was slightly out of breath. He'd run from the car. Adam Thorne, who never ran, who moved through the world like he had all the time in it, had run.His eyes found me first. Then the box. Then Chloe, leaning against the wall, watching us both with an expression I couldn't read."You okay?" he asked."No."He crossed the room in four strides. Didn't touch me—he never assumed—but stood close enough that I could feel his heat, his presence, the solid fact of him.Chloe pushed off the wall. "I delivered. Now I need what I wa

  • IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY   CHAPTER 11

    Eliza's POVThe text came at 2:47 a.m.I felt my phone buzz against the nightstand, dragging me from a dream I couldn't remember. The screen flared in the darkness, too bright, too sudden. I squinted at the unknown number.Tomorrow. 10 a.m. Wells Fargo, downtown. Chloe brings the key. You bring immunity documents. No Adam.I read it once. Twice. Three times.The bedroom was quiet. City lights bled through the curtains, painting pale stripes across the ceiling. Somewhere in the apartment, the HVAC hummed. Adam was asleep on the couch in the living room—had been for three nights now, ever since the maintenance logs appeared. He said it was practical. Easier to work late without disturbing me. I said nothing, but I noticed. The way he positioned himself between me and the door. The way he stayed awake until he heard my breathing even out. The way he never mentioned it, never made it something I needed to acknowledge.No Adam.

  • IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY   CHAPTER 10

    Adam's POVThe parking garage was underground. Dark. Cold. The kind of place where conversations happened that couldn't happen in daylight.Chloe was already there, leaning against a concrete pillar in a coat that cost more than most people's rent. She looked thinner than the last time I'd seen her. Edgier. The confidence she'd worn like armor was showing cracks."You're late," she said."I'm not late. You're early." I stopped ten feet away. Far enough to be safe. Close enough to talk. "What do you want?""Money. What else?""Scott's funds are frozen.""Then unfreeze them. Find a loophole. You're good at that."I watched her. The way her eyes darted. The way she kept touching her hair, her coat, her bag—nervous gestures she couldn't control."Scott's lawyers are abandoning him," I said. "His board seat's gone. His reputation's ash. In a week, he'll be facing criminal charges. And you're still standing n

"What?"I couldn't speak. Just turned the screen toward him.He read it. His face went still in a way I hadn't seen before—not calm, but frozen. Processing."Trace it," I managed."I'll try." He took the phone. Pulled out his own. Started typing. "But if they're smart—""They're smart." My voice came from somewhere far away. "They knew to text now. After the board meeting. After Scott's humiliation. After—"I stopped.After they'd watched me destroy him.They were watching. Someone was watching everything.

  • IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY   CHAPTER 8

    Eliza's POVThe Sterling Global tower looked exactly the same as it had five days ago.Same glass facade reflecting the morning sun. Same revolving doors spinning with suited bodies. Same security desk where the guards used to smile and wave me through with "Morning, Mrs. Walker."I stood across the street and watched it for a full minute.Adam waited beside me. Silent. No催促. He'd learned that about me already—I needed to approach things in my own time, through my own door."I used to love this building," I said. "My father brought me here when I was seven. Showed me the foundation plaque. Told me 'this is what we built together, even though you were just a twinkle.' He meant the company. The legacy. The future."Adam didn't say anything. Just stood close enough that I could feel his presence without touching."Now I look at it and see a prison I didn't know I was in.""That's not the building's fault."

  • IN LOVE WITH HIS ENEMY   CHAPTER 7

    Eliza's POVLara Chen didn't look like a dragon slayer.She looked like someone's favorite aunt—soft curves, silver-streaked hair pulled into a loose bun, reading glasses perched on her nose. She wore a cardigan the color of oatmeal and held a porcelain teacup with both hands. Her office smelled like lavender.I'd done my research. Lara had taken down a sitting senator accused of harassment (he resigned), saved a tech CEO from cancel culture (she's still running her company), and turned a disgraced actress into a human rights advocate (Oscar nomination pending). She didn't fight dirty. She fought smart.And she'd agreed to meet me in person, no questions asked, within four hours of my call."You're smaller than I expected," she said by way of greeting."I'm told that's a disadvantage.""It's not." She gestured to the chair across from her. "Small things are harder to hit. Sit."I sat.She studied me ove
