I was losing my mind.Five days into the honeymoon, and I had taken more cold showers than I had in the entire previous year. Eve was everywhere either in a bikini or in a towel. When she decided to wear clothes, she would peel her dress off in the middle of the bedroom while I sat there like a stunned animal, my phone clattering to the floor because my hands had stopped working.She had to know. There was no way she didn't know. The woman was brilliant

Eve's POVMarguerite Chen stands in my hallway like a ghost that refuses to stay buried, her silver hair dripping rainwater onto the floor and her coat soaked through from the storm outside. She looks like she walked here through the wind and the rain, which she probably did, because Marguerite Chen does not do anything by halves. Not even showing up uninvited to the safe house of the woman she helped terrorize."You have got to be kidding me."The words leave my mouth before I can stop them, and I do not even try to reel them back in. I am tired and scared and holding two crying babies, and the last person I want to see right now is the woman who helped Croft build the network that has been trying to kill my family."Eve." Priya's voice is careful, measured, the voice she uses when she is trying to keep me from doing something I might regret. "She says she has information.""I am sure she does. She has had information for months. Years. She had information when she was sitting in my

Eve's POVSebastian's cry cuts through the house like a siren.I lift him from the bassinet, his tiny body rigid with distress, and press him against my shoulder. He screams into my neck, his fists beating against my collarbone. Across the room, Theodore watches from his bouncy seat with wide, worried eyes. He stopped eating two hours ago. His bottle sits on the counter, curdled and forgotten."Shh," I whisper, pacing the length of the small living room. "Shh, baby, I have got you."He does not stop. He never stops anymore.The walls press in. The windows are covered with heavy blankets, blocking out the gray winter light, and the single lamp in the corner casts shadows that shift and dance with every step I take. I have not left this house in eleven days. I have not breathed fresh air or seen the sky or spoken to another human being besides Devin and Priya.Devin.He is in the kitchen, his back to me, phone pressed to his ear. His voice is low and urgent, the same tone he has used fo

Devin's POVThe explosion tore through the building like a living thing.I heard it before I felt it, a deep and terrible roar that shook the ground beneath my feet and rattled the windows in their frames. Then the shockwave hit, throwing me against the wall of the van with a force that knocked the breath from my lungs. For a moment, there was nothing but noise and chaos and the smell of smoke and burning debris.Then silence.I pulled myself upright and stared through the windshield at the building where Solomon's team had entered less than ten minutes ago. The top three floors were engulfed in flames, orange and yellow tongues licking at the dark sky. Sirens wailed in the distance, growing closer with every passing second."No." The word came out as a whisper. Then louder. "No. No. No."I was out of the van before I knew what I was doing, running toward the burning building. Henderson caught me before I made it ten feet, his arms wrapping around my chest and holding me back."You ca

Devin's POVThe black car stayed in the rearview mirror for three miles before it finally turned off the highway.I did not relax until it disappeared from sight. Even then, my hands stayed tight on the steering wheel and my eyes kept flicking to the mirrors, watching for any sign that we were being followed. The road ahead wound through the mountains, the trees thick and dark on either side. Eve sat in the back seat with the boys, her voice low and soothing as she fed Theodore a bottle."Whoever was in that car, they did not follow us," she said, reading my mind as she always did."For now. But they know we are on the move. They will try to find us again.""Then we make sure they cannot. We disappear. Completely."The old man's cabin was even more remote than I had expected. It sat at the end of a long dirt road, surrounded by dense forest and a frozen pond that gleamed in the winter sunlight. There was no electricity and no running water, just a wood stove and a hand pump and a stac

Eve's POVThe drive back to the brownstone was silent and tense.Devin sat beside me in the back seat, his bandaged arms resting carefully at his sides. The doctors had released him that morning with strict instructions to rest and avoid any strenuous activity for at least two weeks. He had nodded along and then immediately started making phone calls the moment we left the hospital. I did not have the energy to argue with him.David's death had shaken us all. The poison had been fast-acting and untraceable, delivered by someone who had access to the hospital and knew exactly when and where to strike. Solomon's people had swept the building, but the killer was already gone. The only clue was a small vial found in a supply closet, empty except for a trace of the same compound that had killed David."The network is inside the hospital," Solomon had said, his face grim. "They are inside the company. They are everywhere. We cannot trust anyone."I thought about those words as the city slid
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 153
Eve's POVThe call came at two in the morning.I was awake, sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery with Theodore in my arms and Sebastian asleep in his crib. The cabin was quiet, the only sound the soft creak of the old timbers settling in the cold. My phone buzzed on the side table, and the name on the screen made my heart stop.Solomon.I answered on the first ring. "Tell me he is alive.""He is alive. But there was an explosion. Devin was caught in the blast. He is being airlifted to a hospital in the city as we speak."The words hit me like a physical blow. I felt the world tilt, and I clutched Theodore tighter, as if holding him could anchor me to something solid. "How bad?""Burns on his back and arms. A concussion. Possible internal bleeding. The doctors are still assessing the damage. But he is conscious and talking, which is a good sign.""Who did this? Was it Alexei?"There was a long pause. "Alexei is dead. He triggered the explosion with himself inside the blast radiu

Eve’s POV If I’d known I would see my stepsister’s legs wrapped around my fiancé, I would have worn high heeled shoes that would have doubled as a weapon. Instead I stood in the cottage doorway in ballet flats as the three of us were frozen in a tableau so absurd it could have been a Renaissan

Devin’s POV I stood in Eve's kitchen after she left for her appointment with Marguerite Chen and stared at the coffee maker for five full minutes without seeing it. She'd said she needed to do this alone. I understood that about her, the fierce independence that sometimes tipped into self-destruc
