Eric looked at the divorce papers scattered on the driveway. His hands would not stop shaking.

"Sign them," Nyla said again. "Or I file publicly."

"If I sign these, what do I get? Anything?"

"You get a quiet divorce. No public trial. No reporters asking questions."

"That is it? That is all?"

"That is more than you deserve."

Eric picked up the papers slowly. Found a pen in his pocket. Stared at the signature line.

"There has to be another way," he tried one last time.

"There is not."

  • Killed And Reborn, I Found True Love    CHAPTER 113

    She woke up to the smell of coffee.Not the smell of coffee being made somewhere else in a building. The smell of coffee being made in the same kitchen she was sleeping near, by someone who knew how she took it without having to ask because he had been paying attention for a year.She lay still for a moment and looked at the ceiling and let herself have it — the quiet of a morning that was not immediately a crisis. The light coming through the curtains at the particular angle that meant just after seven. The ordinary sounds of someone moving through a kitchen with comfortable knowledge of where everything was.She got up.---He was at the counter when she came in. Two cups already poured. He looked up when she appeared in the doorway and the expression on his face was one she had not seen before — or rather, one she had seen in pieces and was now seeing whole. Unhurried. Unguarded. The face of a person who is somewhere they want to be."Coffee's there," he said."I can see that," she

    She walked toward him slowly.Bridges was against the SUV, Cameron's hand still loosely at his collar, the situation suspended in the particular way of things that have not yet resolved in either direction. She kept her eyes on Cameron's back. She did not look at Bridges."Step back," she said to Cameron. Quietly. Not a command. Something between a request and a fact.He did not move.She came around to his side — not behind him, not in front, beside him — so he could see her in his peripheral vision without having to choose to look at her."He's not worth the version of you that does this," she said."Don't," Cameron said. His voice was low and flat. "Don't give me the speech about what he's worth.""I'm not talking about him," she said. "I'm talking about you."Silence.Bridges had the sense — she gave him credit for it — not to speak.---"Maya died chasing the story," she said. "You know why she did it. Not for the byline. Not for the outlet. Because she believed that telling the

    Tobias found Cole Bridges in four hours.The man had not hidden. That was the thing Cameron kept returning to on the drive across the city. Five years of Maya in an open case file. Five years of her absence at every table he had sat at, every thing he had built, every morning that had started without a call from her. And the man responsible had simply — continued. Built a firm. Taken contracts. Lived in a house in a residential neighbourhood with a car in the driveway and a gym membership and a Tuesday morning routine.Operating in the open.Because he believed he was untouchable. Because Robert had always protected the people who acted on his instructions. Because men like Cole Bridges understood that as long as the person who ordered the work was still standing, the person who carried it out was safe.Robert was not still standing.Cameron drove.---He did not tell Nyla where he was going.He told Tobias. He said: I need the location and I need you to stay back. Tobias gave him the

    Elena was sitting up when they arrived.She looked better than she had — the colour had come back into her face and the bandaged arm was resting in a sling rather than flat against the bed. She had a book open on the blanket beside her that she had clearly not been reading. She looked at them when they came through the door and then she looked at Cameron and something moved in her expression that told Nyla she already knew, or suspected, why he was here.Nyla closed the door."We need to ask you about something," she said. "About Maya Price."Elena looked at the window.A silence that lasted long enough to confirm everything before she said a word.---"I met her at a conference," Elena said. "Five years ago. She was presenting on financial crime reporting methodology — the structures shell companies use, how to follow money through jurisdictions. I sat in the back and I listened and she was the most precise person I had heard speak on the subject outside of people who had been inside

    Cameron did not call Nyla immediately. He drove back from the café and sat in the car in the building's parking structure for eleven minutes. Tobias texted twice. He did not reply. He needed the eleven minutes to put his face back together before he was around anyone who knew how to read it. Then he went upstairs and told Nyla everything. --- Maya Price had been thirty-one years old when she died. Financial journalist. Sharp, meticulous, the kind of writer who spent six months on a story before she was willing to put her name on it. She had worked for a mid-sized investigative outlet — not the largest platform, but respected, the kind of publication that serious people took seriously. She had been found in her apartment five years ago. The official cause was blunt force trauma. The case had remained open and inactive for four of those five years. Cameron had kept his own file. Nyla had known this in the way she knew things about him that he had never directly told her — thr

    Cameron got the message on a Tuesday.It came through a man named Patrick Osei — no relation to Patricia — who ran a private security consultancy and had worked adjacent to both Cameron's world and some considerably darker ones over the years. Patrick sent a single line: *Someone who knows you wants a conversation. Says it's worth your time. Her name is Lisa Carver.*Cameron read it. He told Nyla.She was quiet for a moment."Meet her," she said. "But not alone.""Tobias can cover the perimeter," he said. "You stay out of it. If she sees you she closes up."Nyla looked at him."She won't be honest with me in the room," he said. "She will be with you absent from it."Nyla accepted that. She did not like it, but she accepted it.---The café was neutral — Cameron's choice, public, good sight lines from both the entrance and the street. He arrived first. He sat with his back to the wall and a coffee he wasn't drinking and waited.Lisa came in seven minutes late. He almost didn't recognis

    Eric was pacing in the living room when Nyla walked through the door."Where have you been?" His voice was sharp with barely controlled panic. "You have been gone for hours. I called you three times.""I went out," Nyla said, setting her purse down."Out where?""Shopping.""Shopping." Eric stared

    Eric was being unbearably sweet."You look absolutely stunning tonight," Eric said for the fourth time. "That dress is perfect on you."Nyla smiled without warmth. "Thank you."When they arrived at the Grand Plaza Hotel, Eric practically leaped out to open her door again. He offered his arm. Smiled

    Nyla called Cameron and told him they needed to talk. In person. Privately.He suggested his office. She said no. Too formal. Too many people around. They agreed to meet at a small coffee shop in a quiet neighborhood where nobody would recognize them.Nyla arrived first. Ordered tea she did not dri
