CHAPTER SIX

Priscilla's POV.

Five years ago, I was a weak, broken woman who'd just been dumped by the man she loved the most.

I'd thought that was the end of life for me, even though I had two growing children inside of me.

Now?

I was a happy single mother, with two beautiful twins and the CEO of Pree’s Organic Skincare–one of the most thriving business in Seattle.

With Darius by my side, I fought the nights where I thought I wouldn't make it this far, I fought the will to give up, I also fough

    CHAPTER 66: The Scent of Rain and SteelCreighton’s POVThe blue glow of the laptop screens in the back of my SUV burned my eyes. Marcus had been running the wire routing codes for three straight hours while cold rain pounded against the reinforced glass.The Swiss trust that paid Chloe’s bail wasn't just an anonymous donor. It was a pass-through account routed through Zurich, funded late last night from a private bank in Panama."The offshore holding entity just cleared federal records," Marcus grunted, slamming his palm flat on the small desk. "Look at the registration name."I leaned over his shoulder, my pulse hammering in my throat.The screen displayed a stamped corporate certificate. The shell company was registered under Marlow Assets.My jaw locked so tight my teeth ached. Arthur Marlow had been buried for years, but his ghost kept crawling out of the dark to bleed into everything I was trying to protect.H

    CHAPTER 65: The Impostor's ShadowPriscilla’s POVThe iron doors of the county detention center slammed shut behind me with a hollow, echoing thud. The smell of cold concrete, industrial bleach, and stale rain hung thick in the air, instantly coating the back of my throat.Four armed guards escorted me down the narrow grey corridor, their tactical boots rhythmic against the linoleum floor. I kept my head high, my posture rigid, but inside, my pulse was hammering against my ribs like a caged bird.I was here to kill the lingering ghost of Darius Blair once and for all. I needed to see him stripped of his tailored suits and corporate authority, reduced to orange scrubs behind thick glass. I needed to look into the eyes of the man who had terrorized my children and tried to steal my life's work, and show him he no longer had a hold on me.Before we reached the visitor's wing, Detective Miller stepped out of a side room, waving off my security de

    CHAPTER 64: The Iron GatesPriscilla’s POVMy lips still burned from the press of Creighton’s mouth.The heat of him, the raw scrape of his jaw against mine, and the terrifying weight of his devotion hung in the narrow backseat of the armored SUV. But the warm, reckless haze of that holding room had vanished the second we stepped out into the rain. Reality didn't just crash back in—it locked the iron gates around us.Creighton hadn't even made it to the vehicle with me. He’d shoved me into the back under the shadow of four heavily armed guards, his face turning back to stone as Marcus called Detective Miller on a scrambled line."I'm heading straight to the precinct," Creighton had told me, his thumb catching my chin through the open door, his voice low and tight. "Miller’s pulling the bank routing numbers for Chloe’s bail. Go home, lock the gates, and do not step outside for anything."Now, the townhouse

    CHAPTER 63: The Shield and the SparkCreighton’s POVThe silence in the grand hall didn't just happen—I tore it out of their throats.My hand stayed flat against the cold acrylic of the podium, my pulse heavy and steady while the room hung on a wire. The flashing lights felt hot on my back, but I didn't give the press line an inch."You want the truth?" I boomed into the microphone, my voice echoing off the high marble walls like thunder. "Or do you just want the blood Vance Global promised you?"Chairman Vance’s jaw twitched. He tried to speak, but the glare I locked onto him kept him pinned to his seat."Marcus," I said, not even looking back at the wing.Marcus stepped out from the side curtain, holding a black leather folio. He didn't hesitate. He walked straight down the line of international reporters, dumping stacks of hard-copy forensic reports directly onto the main press desk."What you saw on that s

    CHAPTER 62: The Stage of AshesPriscilla’s POVThe blinding glare of the studio spotlights felt like a fever against my skin.Hundreds of faces stretched across the tiered seating of the grand hall—shareholders, board members with cold, expectant grins, and news crews elbow-to-elbow behind a barricade of flashing lenses. The collective hum of their whispering sounded like a swarm of locusts.I smoothed the front of my black tailored blazer, took a quiet, deep breath, and walked out onto the wooden stage alone.Every shutter clicked at once. The light hit my eyes hard, but I kept my chin up, stepping right to the glass podium. I didn't look at the press. I looked straight at Chairman Vance and the executive committee seated in the front row."Good morning," I said, my voice echoing crisp and even through the hall's sound system. "We are here today because certain members of this board wish to capitalize on a personal tragedy to en

    CHAPTER 61: The Lion’s DenCreighton’s POVI couldn't get the taste of her out of my mouth.Every time I closed my eyes I felt it. Her breath on my cheek. Her lower lip under my thumb. The way her shoulders gave for half a second before Maya opened the door.It was three in the morning. I sat at the black desk in my penthouse. The windows showed the whole city, wet and dark from the rain. A glass of bourbon sat next to me. I hadn't touched it.Sleep wasn't an option. So I chose to work.For four hours I tore through Vance Global's ledgers. Every cross-border transaction tied to the merger seven years ago. The shell company holding seventy percent of the default equity was registered under Arthur Marlow’s name. A dead man.It hadn't been sleeping. Someone put fresh money into the offshore master account forty-eight hours ago.Someone on the board had the master key.My screen flashed blue when the forens
