CHAPTER X3

By the time they left the bookstore some forty-five minutes later, both their arms were loaded, Reid carrying in both arms, two bags of novels and right at the top, the book with the face that looked like hers, Raees, being the princess with a coffee cup because she’d “conveniently forgotten” to throw it out. The late afternoon sun was sinking lower, painting the city in warm tones of color, the sun casting that beautiful yellow glow over the rooftops.

“How time flies when you’re having so much fun.” Reid comments as he drops off the bags off in the car trunk.

The walk back toward the park like they’d planned was lively. Street vendors lined the sidewalks, the air thick with the scent of grilled meat and spiced skewers.

Raees slowed, took one very long inhale and then exhaled before tugging gently at Reid’s arm.

“Oh, we’re stopping,” she said firmly. “I smell heaven.”

Reid followed her gaze to a vendor manning a smoky grill, skewers sizzling over glowing red coals. He gave

    Holland’s hands shook as he gripped the edge of the folder. “You’re asking me to sign away my life’s work! You are my brother, do you have to make your point so cruelly?”“I’m not asking of you,” Rowland snapped, his voice cracking like a whip, all the meaningless laughter gone from his face. “I’m telling you. You want your precious wife back? Then prove you love her more than you love your damned empire. Sign it, and it will all end like it never happened.”Holland’s throat tightened. Images of Shauna, pale and crying behind the iron bars, rushed at him. The headlines, the whispers, the media they will never be able to prove otherwise to. His chest ached so fiercely he could hardly breathe.He closed his eyes.His pride screamed at him to fight, to tear the contract apart and spit in Rowland’s face. But ir will only worsen the situation, his pride wouldn’t get Shauna home. Pride wouldn’t stop her from rotting away in a cell that she had been forced into based on false accusations, an

    Holland Flanagan had never known desperation quite like this.Not when a deal fell through, not when the market had once turned against him, not even when Reid was born prematurely and spent weeks in the incubator. But standing in the grim corridor of the police headquarters, knowing his wife sat behind iron bars on charges she did not deserve, something she did not do, desperation had become his second skin.For hours and hours, he had tried to call in favors with people and contacts he’d once had in law enforcement, men and women who had eaten at his table, drunk his wine, toasted to his success with laughter, they had come to cookouts and barbecues and flaunted their places where they could just say a simple word and a whole scheme will fall apart.But, unfortunately, one by one, the calls to them went unanswered. The few who picked up gave short, cutting responses such as.“There’s nothing I can do, Holland.”“It’s completely above me, I am sorry this is happening.”“You don’t wan

    Shortly after Rina returns with the properly marked documents, “Income looks consistent on most of these so I guess that’s not where we will find the issues. Expenses are where the little liars hide.”She flipped to the quarterly breakdowns just like the duo had confirmed before, her eyes narrowing as she went through every line and every expense, until she comes to a stop on a particular line. “Here. Look at this, it says three million marked as ‘consultancy fees.’ Do you see a name attached?”Rina leaned in. “No vendor listed. Just a vague code number.”“Exactly.” Cecelia made a small tick with her pen. “Quarter one. Consultamcy fees? How very uncreative of whoever who created that one is.”They turned pages quickly now that they know what they are after, and what they are following.“There again,” Cecelia muttered. “Quarter two. Another three million. Same handwriting, same signature, no name for the receiver of the money either.”Rina frowned. “That’s… too clean to be an error. No

    Cecelia sat behind the broad desk, the sunlight falling across the neat rows of files stacked high. The air smelled faintly of some sweet lavender scent, a quiet hum of the air conditioner keeping the room cool. She sat behind her desk, flipping through the last of the memos when a soft knock came.“Come in,” she said.Rina entered, her arms balanced around a tall stack of ledgers and files, with a slim flash drive tucked between her fingers. “Ma’am, these are the quarterly books you asked for. Everything from the last four years, the other ones are being gathered as well. Hard copies and digitized records are also available if you’d prefer those.”“Good,” Cecelia said, rising slightly to clear some very needed space on the desk. “Let’s spread them out. We’ll start with the physical ledgers, the digital ones can back us up later.”Rina laid them down carefully. “Would you like me to stay and assist, or do you have another errand you’d like me to run while you go ahead ma’am?”“You’ll

    The tension shattered when Reid’s office door opened due to the commotion just outside the office. He stepped out, sharp in his dark shirt, eyes narrowing at the sight of Nathaniel holding his face, Raees standing firm before him, apparently the one who has just slapped him while George just stands to the side, looking a bit guilty.“What’s going on here?” Reid’s voice cut clean, looking over at Raees, his eyes slowly doing a once over of her face and body to check if she’s fine.Nathaniel rounded on him immediately. “Your little fiancée just assaulted me in front of your employees. You’ve let your personal life poison your professional judgment, Reid. You’re making the wrong enemies—”“Apologize.”The word came from Reid, coldly, without letting him finish the demeaning sentence he was just about to complete.Nathaniel blinked, shocked. “Excuse me?”“Apologize to her,” Reid repeated, his tone leaving no room for an argument. “I don’t know what you have done but you do not talk to my

    George adjusted his tie for the third time, a little bit too full and comfortable, as the elevator doors closed behind him. It was early afternoon, and the office was unusually quiet after lunch hour. He was on his way back from a quick meeting reminder with one of the finance teams when a voice, deep and smooth with authority, called out to him as soon as he stepped out.“George, what perfect timing. A moment with me, if you don’t mind.”He turned to the voice and froze.Standing by the window, hands clasped behind his back, was Nathaniel Brooks, one of the senior board members. Not just anyone in the companu actually, this was a man with weight in the company, someone George had worked under before he had been transferred to be the CEO’s secretary. His salt-and-pepper hair gleamed in the light, his suit sharp, and his gaze sharp enough to cut glass, and as he was before, he still looked intimidating as always.“Sir, what an honor to see you again,” George said carefully. “I wasn’t a
