The next morning, Emma went back to her new apartment in the Upper East Side to take a bath and get freshly dressed. She had slept at the hospital to look after her friend, and each minute, her mind raced. Each time the wind blew at the curtains, brushed the blinds, or rattled the door, her heart grew restless. She kept thinking the man would come back but none of that happened. Not even a phone call or a text. Her phone and Phoebe’s had both been turned off.

She finally turned it on after dressing up and there was no message. Just three missed calls from Ezra. She sighed. Zoe. She hadn’t found the time to check on her, but deep down, she trusted Ezra would handle everything just fine.

When she got to the office, she greeted everyone like she normally did. As she walked into her office, Susan hurried after her and stopped her just before she sat.

“You came in late. Rough night?”

Emma sighed as she sank into her chair. “Sort of. I got home safe, I just overslept,” she lied. The truth w

    The words made Emma freeze. She knew he would want this, but she didn’t think it would be this early.“What do you think?” he asked again.“That is a good idea,” She said instantly.“Really?” He was taken aback.She nodded. She had no idea what she was doing, but something came to her. If she got closer to the Queens, it meant protection. It meant Ezra would protect her and Zoe. “Yes.”He heaved a sigh of relief. “I was scared you wouldn’t approve, since you want Zoe to stay away from the spotlight.”“I still want that.” She held his hand tightly. “But I also want her to be known by your family.”“Well, you know if my family gets to know, it means my mother won’t shut up about it.”Emma chuckled softly. “I know that about Josie. You know what—” she took a deep breath, steadying her nerves. “How about we do this after Zoe’s fourth birthday?”His brow lifted. “You mean I can break the news then? Zoe will be happy.”She smiled faintly. “Yes.”He nodded slowly. “Okay, that will work. But

    The elevator chimed, and Heather entered with a bag of packed homemade food. Ezra had gotten Zoe ready for school and was making breakfast when he heard the elevator. He was not expecting anyone, so when he put down the napkin on the table he said to Zoe, “I will be right back.” He left the kitchen and was shocked to see who was there. “Heather?” he called, surprised. He sized her up, still wondering why she was at his home.“Hey, Ezra,” she said with a smile, but her eyes moved around the room as if searching for something. “It is nice to see you again.”He had a look of curiosity and shock on his face. “And to what do I owe the visit?”Heather raised the bag she held. “Auntie wanted me to give you this. It is freshly prepared.”His hands rested on his hips. “And why would my mother send you over here to give me this?”Heather shrugged, pretending she had nothing to hide. She had visited Josie earlier that morning and suggested the maid make food for Ezra because she was worried he m

    Emma burst into the hospital that evening, her heart pounding as she searched for where her friend had been taken. The nurse guided her to the room where Phoebe lay. She stopped in front of the door, took a shaky breath, and pushed it open. The soft click as it closed behind her seemed to echo through the quiet room.Her back pressed against the door, hands covering her mouth as her eyes filled with tears. Phoebe lay still on the bed—eyes closed, face pale, skin drained.The beeping of the heart monitor filled the silence as Emma walked closer, her chest tightening. She sat beside the bed and took her friend’s hand, the one that wasn’t wrapped in bandages.“Oh, Phoebe…” Her voice trembled. “I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t stolen from him back then, we wouldn’t be here.”She tried to hold it in, but her tears fell anyway. Her shoulders shook as guilt tore through her. Then the door opened. Emma quickly wiped her face and stood, turning to see the doctor step in.“She’s

    On his way home, he called Winter. If he wanted to take care of Zoe through the night and do a good job, he needed his sister around. She was the only one in the family who knew about his daughter.“This one that you called, I’m honestly shocked,” Winter said, half laughing. “What do you want? Is it about Emma?”Ezra was quiet for a moment, then cleared his throat. “No, not Emma. It’s about Zoe.”Winter gasped softly. “Oh, how I’ve missed her. How is she? Is something wrong? I do want to see her again.”“Then this is your chance,” he said.“What do you mean?”“I’m on my way to pick Zoe up for a sleepover.”“Huh? Isn’t it a school night?”“It is, but Emma won’t be home early, so I’ll have to stay with her. I just need a little help.”Winter sighed but smiled through her tone. “You really should think about getting a nanny. But fine, I’ll help my big brother out.”“Thank you, Winter. And she does have a nanny. I just… want to spend time with her. I barely see her, and she’s growing fast

    “When you said you knew a place, I didn’t expect it to be here.” Susan glanced around. Her sunglasses were still intact. Gia, Bea, and Floria stood beside her, laughing.Nothing had changed. It still looked the same. Thirty minutes ago, they had met outside the company, and Emma had wanted to hail a taxi, but Susan insisted they use her car instead. She drove as Emma directed. When they left the Upper East Side, everyone grew curious, and Susan kept asking where they were going—until the car stopped in a small town Susan knew well: Larkhill in Hidden Tower, where Emma lived and the kids schooled.Susan had glanced at her with curiosity.“I promise, you’ll love it,” Emma assured again. “My best friend and I used to come here a lot when I was in college. It’s big. They also have delicious food.”Susan glanced around the supposedly big diner. It was overcrowded, noisy, and hot inside. Nothing like what Emma had described.“Are you sure this is the place?” Gia asked, looking around the d
