Elena

He told him you know about the accident.

I stared at that message until the bathroom tile went cold under me. My legs had gone numb and I hadn't even noticed.

Not Damian. Not Sophia. Not Varner, unless he'd lied to me, and my gut said he hadn't. Someone else was in this. Someone who had reached Marcus before I'd said a single word about it out loud to a living soul.

I tried the number back. It rang twice, then a flat recorded voice told me it was no longer in service.

    Elena"He's speeding up," Damian said.I turned. Headlights closing in, too fast for a street like this."Faster," Sophia said."Working on it."We hit the main road at sixty. The SUV stayed on us, close enough now I could make out a shape behind the wheel. No face."Who is it.""Doesn't matter right now."It pulled into the other lane. Came level with us."Damian.""I see it."It swerved. Damian cut the wheel and we clipped the curb, tires screaming, the whole frame shaking under us."Hold on."The light ahead turned red. He didn't slow down. We shot through, a truck laying on its horn as it swerved around us, and the SUV had to brake hard or take the hit itself.That bought us maybe ten seconds."Left," Sophia said, pointing.He cut the wheel. The back end fishtailed, caught, straightened. Narrower street now. Houses dark on both sides."Still behind us," I said, checking the mirror."I know."Another turn. Then another. Streets I didn't know the names of. The SUV falling back but n

  • My Billionaire Husband's Last Mistake   Chapter Thirty-Eight: Alone

    ElenaI read the message again.Come home tonight. Alone. Or I burn everything you have left before morning."No," Damian said, before I even looked up. "Not happening.""I have to go.""You don't. Show this to the police.""And say what. My husband sent a text. That's nothing to them and you know it.""Elena.""If I don't go, he does something anyway. At least this way I know where he is."Sophia grabbed my arm. "That's the whole point. He wants you somewhere nobody else can see.""I know.""Then don't.""He said alone or he burns everything. Everything, Sophia. The board's still deciding. If he wipes what's left before they finish, tonight was for nothing."Damian paced the little waiting room, phone still in his hand."Fine," he said finally. "You go. We're close behind. I'll sit in the lot across the street. Sophia keeps the line open the whole time so we hear it.""He'll search me for a phone.""Not this." Damian pulled a small earpiece out of his jacket. "Was for something else

  • My Billionaire Husband's Last Mistake   Chapter Thirty-Seven: His Answer

    ElenaI read the message three times before I set the phone down.You have no idea what you just did."What does that mean?" Sophia said, reading it over my shoulder."Don't know."Damian took the phone from me, read it, set it back down without a word.Another notification appeared. An email this time.A press release. Not from us. Blackwood Group communications, sent six minutes ago.I opened it.My name is in the third line. Fabricated documents. A pattern connected to my medical condition. An affair. The word desperate, twice, in four paragraphs."He got ahead of it," I said. "Knew we were sending something before we sent it.""How," Sophia said."Doesn't matter how. He had this ready before we even finished building our case."Damian pulled up a news site on his laptop. Then another.Wife of Blackwood CEO Accused of Fabricating Evidence Amid Personal Crisis.I read the headline twice."This isn't him reacting," I said. "This is him already prepared for whatever we sent, whenever

    ElenaRuth's porch light was still on when Damian's phone buzzed on the dashboard."The neighbor found her twenty minutes ago," he said. "Sitting on the steps. Nobody hurt her."I didn't say anything. Just closed my eyes and let the car hum under me for a second."He kept his word," Sophia said from the back seat."Cost him nothing to." I looked out the window instead of at her. "Don't call that decency."She went quiet. Kept turning her phone over in her lap, over and over, like the motion could fix something."What did he mean," I said finally. "The notebook. What else you've been keeping from me.""I can't answer that right now.""That's not an answer.""I know it isn't." She looked out her own window. "I'll tell you. Not tonight. Not with all of this sitting on top of us."I let it go. Didn't have the room to push, not with Marcus still moving pieces somewhere out there in the dark.Damian drove us to his place. Small kitchen, mismatched chairs, nothing like the house I'd spent fi

    ElenaMarcus stood in the doorway. Hands in his pockets. Not moving."You should have listened to him," he said. "He told you to stop."Sophia's hand tightened on my arm."How did you find us," I said."Ruth's address has been in a file for thirty years, Elena. Did you think you were the only one who could read old paperwork?"I stood up slowly. My ankles hurt so badly."Where is she?," I said. "Where's Ruth?""Safe. For now." He stepped inside. Closed the door behind him. "That depends entirely on you.""Depends on what?.""The bag." He nodded at it, still on my shoulder. "Give it to me and this ends tonight. Nobody else gets hurt. Ruth goes home. You go home. We forget this ever happened.""You're lying.""Probably." He almost smiled. "But you don't have a lot of options right now, do you."Sophia stood up beside me. "You knew about the archive. You knew we'd be there tonight.""Of course I knew you were up to something." His mouth curved into the faintest hint of a smile. "Do you r

    Elena"Elena." Damian was still on the line. His voice was sharper now.Couldn't. Not yet. Sophia's eyes on mine. Mine on hers. The same thought running through both our heads, unspoken.Me. Sophia. Damian. Ruth."Someone talked," I said."I know." A beat. "Leave the road. If they know your plans, they might know your route."Sophia's eyes kept looking through the mirror. Every set of headlights behind us made her flinch a little."Where?”"Somewhere with people. A dinner. Gas station. Anywhere." His voice had lost all the warmth from an hour ago. Just orders now. "Get rid of that car soon. If they tagged it once, they'll find it twice."We pulled into a pharmacy lot two exits down. The lights flickered above the empty parking spaces. A camera sat over the entrance, its red indicator blinking. Not safe. Just safer than where we were.I called Ruth the second I hung up. My hands were not cooperating.Voicemail.Called again.Same."Maybe she's asleep," Sophia said. Her own voice was no
