I freeze, my heart hammering so hard I can barely breathe. My father's eyes are wide with terror above the duct tape, and my mother is sobbing uncontrollably. "Alexander, please. Please don't do this." "Don't do what? Teach you the consequences of betrayal?" His voice is eerily calm, almost conversational. "You see, Sophia, I've spent fifteen years building the perfect life for you. The perfect marriage. And you threw it away for a man who's been lying to you from the start." "What are you talking about?" "Derek." Alexander's smile is venomous. "Did he tell you about our arrangement? How he's been on my payroll for three years? How every piece of 'evidence' he claimed to have on me was information I fed him myself?" My blood turns to ice. "You're lying." "Am I? Think about it, darlin
Torres hesitates, then nods slowly. "The devices you're already wearing. He won't know to look for them if he thinks you came alone.""Then that's what we do.""Sophia, listen to me." Derek turns me to face him, his hands on my shoulders. "Alexander is escalating. He's crossed lines tonight that he can't come back from. If you go to that warehouse—""Then maybe I don't come back. But at least my parents live.""And what about us? What about everything we just—""There is no us if my parents die because of me!" The words explode out of me, sharp with guilt and fear. "Don't you understand? Every good thing I've touched in the last fifteen years has been poisoned by him. My marriage, my family's security, my dreams—all of it built on lies and manipulation. If they die because I finally tried to be free, I'll never forgive myself."Derek's eyes are wet. "I just got you back.""I know." I cup his face, memorizing every detail. "But this is my choice. Mine. Not Alexander's, not yours. For t
The FBI agent's hand on my shoulder feels like the only thing keeping me upright."Mrs. Kane, we need you to come with us. For your protection."Alexander's being led toward the elevator in handcuffs, but his eyes never leave mine. Even surrounded by federal agents, even caught on tape confessing to conspiracy to commit murder, he looks utterly confident.Like this is all part of some larger plan I'm too stupid to understand."Sophia." Derek appears at my side, and I flinch before I can stop myself. His face crumbles. "Hey, it's okay. You're safe now."Am I? Because the way Alexander smiled as they cuffed him didn't look like a man who'd just lost everything."We need to get you both to a secure location," the lead agent—Special Agent Torres, according to his badge—says firmly. "Mr. Kane has extensive resources and connections. Until we're certain—"The lights go out.Complete, absolute darkness swallows the penthouse. Emergency lighting should have kicked in immediately, but there
"What?""For the first time in fifteen years, I remember what it feels like to be alive. That's worth fighting for."His kiss is soft, reverent, terrified. "Come back to me.""I will."The walk to the penthouse feels like walking to my execution. Every step echoes in the empty lobby, each floor the elevator climbs another nail in my coffin.But when the doors open to our apartment, I'm surprised by what I find.Candles. Dozens of them, creating a soft romantic glow throughout the living room. A bottle of expensive wine breathing on the counter. Soft music playing from the hidden speakers.And Alexander, standing by the windows in dark slacks and an open shirt, looking more relaxed than I've seen him in months."Sophia." His smile is warm, genuine, terrifying. "I knew you'd come back.""Alexander, I—""Shh." He crosses to me, taking my coat with practiced ease. "No apologies necessary. I understand. Derek has always been... persuasive. And I've been neglecting you shamefully."The comp
