NERIAH'S POV

I'm almost like a fish out of water.

Crystal chandeliers dangle like icicles, the music wraps itself softly around me like perfume, and every woman looks like a magazine cover brought to life.

I sip nervously from the glass of champagne in my hand.

I try not to let my nerves show as I walk around, head held high in the red dress I borrowed from my neighbor. It's tighter than what I’d normally wear, a little too bold, but I need to look like I belong here.

The last time I was at an occasion like this, I was Liam's wife.

Myles fixes his eyes on me from across the room and flashes that charming smile that used to make me stutter in high school. He crosses the room effortlessly in long strides, glass of champagne in hand, and pulls me into a friendly hug.

"Still stunning as usual, eh?" his warm breath tingles my ears.

I force a smile, taking a step back. "You clean up pretty well too."

His shoulders jerk with roaring laughter as he places a hand gently on the small of m

    LAURA'S POV I can't believe it. That nuthead Henry Dickson actually spoke with Liam a couple of hours after he declined me audience. Maybe he was only going to speak to a familiar face. I should have thought about that. "He said he doesn't have it." Liam looks extremely disappointed. "How do you know he had it in the first place? Why would your dad give it to him? You said it yourself that they weren't in good terms for a really long time.""My dad actually gave it to him, but he doesn't have it at the moment."Now this is getting more and more complicated. How does someone hand something to you for safekeeping and you don't have it? Just like that. "Well did he say who has it?" Liam shakes his head. "He said he was robbed of it." Robbed of a journal? This has to be the craziest story I've ever heard and I don't believe it one bit. "Do you think the old man's intentionally refusing to hand it over? What if he was instructed to only hand it over to Denver?" Liam shakes his head

    DENVER'S POV "Boss, I think I got something." Just the words I love to hear. "Then let's hear it." I can hear rustling at the other end, he seems busy. I like it. "I've been looking around Julie's house and I've seen thousands of letters sent by her father. Problem is they're all random. They don't look like there's hidden messages in any of them." My jaw clenches tightly. "You told me you found something.""Actually, I did. In one of the letters was a flash drive. I'm thinking of bringing it back to Florida. Just wanted to let you know." The flashdrive. Excitement courses through my veins like a lightning storm. I can feel every tip of my fingers tingling, like they're coming alive. "I think you should see what's on it before coming back." With the amount of surprises I've gotten in the search for this will, I don't think I want him to come back here without knowing what's on that flash. "Alright boss, I'm on it. I'll let you know what I find.""And Samuel?" He stays silent w

    LAURA'S POV This is the only thing I've done right. Giving Liam a son, I mean. The eighteen months old is chuckling uncontrollably as Liam makes funny faces at him in the nursery. This is the only time I've seen Liam truly happy. I've been meaning to bring up the fact that I'm looking for his father's friend but I don't know what he'd make of it. I don't know if that'll make him happy or if it'll only groom the beast that's been slowly growing in him. I've been by the door for a couple of minutes and neither of them have noticed me. Not until Junior raises his head. "Mama!" He mouths, grinning. Liam turns towards me and smiles. "Hey, you" he hoists Junior into his arms and walks towards me. The baby's large dark eyes and curly jet-black hair deepens my own smile. Liam plants a kiss on my lips. I'm surprised I miss the feeling. It's been so long since he, or Montero, kissed me. "Hi" I mouth against his lips. "It's been so long since..." We both chuckle, "since we did this." I fi

    NERIAH'S POV "Come back to the company"It's not a request, it's a command. I've been with Denver Chadwick the entire weekend and those are the only words he says to me when he gets a chance. I mean besides asking for his pills and his doctor. I don't understand this man. Sometimes he's soft and vulnerable, other times like right now, he's a cold-hearted jerk. "Do I even get to make a choice about anything in my life?" I cork my head to the side, a fake smile on my face. He closes the paper in his hands briefly,"Not that I know of."That fake smile wipes off my face. "You know Denver, I'm not a thing. I'm a person. An adult. I'll be turning thirty three in a couple of months. Until I met you, I had full control of my life and things were working out perfectly for me. I don't need you controlling or bossing me around. And no, I'm not coming back to the company!"I think I hear him chuckle as he finally folds his paper away. "I don't see the part where I gave you a choice, Neriah. Y

    LAURA'S POV I want to get the hell away from all of this. It's the second day since I've been unable to successfully catch a good night's sleep. Liam's snoring softly beside me, making me the more nervous.I used to think I was a smart assed bitch but I've fucked up. Big time. The man I sleep with every night is a murderer. The man I made the father of my son kills people without second thoughts. My stomach churns as I roll over to the end of the bed. I haven't been able to eat either. Letting out a loud huff, I rise from the bed. I need a drink to clear my head. Liam said Professor Henry Dickson had kept him in business school because he wasn't "..fit enough to go into the business world with his grades." His father had issues with his friend because of this causing the two men to drift apart.Then why would Chadwick hand over his journal to someone he'd drifted away from for so many years? Liam said Professor Dickson didn't show up at their house again for almost ten years. And

    DENVER'S POV When the first tear drops, I almost can't believe it's pouring from my eyes. "It's okay, Denver. It's okay." Her warm hands trail up and down my spine, soothing the searing pain in my heart. I wasn't related to Derek, but he shouldn't have died for me. If he'd tried to save his life, either I or Edwards would be dead by now. Especially since I wasn't with any weapon. Neriah hooks her arm in mine and leads me gently away from the garden into the mansion. I hear her calling for Ethan, I can't hear what she says, she's probably mouthing something to him. My hands are numb and trembling from all the blows but I don't care. And for the fact that I can't exactly dive into the case so as not to alert the cops or lead them to me. That's the last kind of publicity I need right now. "Denver, can you hear me?" I nod my head weakly, giving her a smile to ease her mind. I can see the troubled look in her eyes and I wish I could do something to take it away because it makes me n
