Emily’s POV

"Twenty minutes," I choked out, the phone practically slipping from my sweaty palm. "Daniel... she said twenty minutes!"

Daniel didn't flinch, but every muscle in his back instantly locked tight. The lazy, after-sex exhaustion vanished from his features, replaced by the sharp, terrifying efficiency of a man in full crisis mode.

He swung his legs off the mattress, pulling up his suit trousers and zipping them in one swift motion.

"Get up," he commanded, his voice dropping into a hars

    Emily’s POVThe satellite phone on Daniel's desk began to ring before the news anchor on the television could even finish her sentence.RING. RING. RING.Daniel didn't hesitate. He snatched the phone off the heavy oak desk and slammed it against his ear, his knuckles white against the black plastic."Speak," Daniel commanded, his voice so cold it could have frozen the room solid."Mr. Walker, it's Carter," his head of security shouted over the speaker, the background noise filled with screaming crowds and distant sirens. "The hospital is completely surrounded! There are at least fifty press vans blocking the main entrance of New York-Presbyterian. Tabloid reporters are offering the floor nurses fifty thousand dollars for a photo of Victoria’s chart!""How did they get the story so fast?" Daniel demanded, staring at the television screen where my mother's face was still plastered in glowing color."Victoria’s publicist issued a press release twenty minutes before the ambulance even arr

    Emily’s POV"Look at yourself, Emily," Daniel whispered, his deep voice vibrating right against the back of my neck.He stood behind me in the grand mirrored dressing room, his broad hands resting heavily on my waist. The floor-to-ceiling mirrors reflected everything—the soft glow of the recessed lighting, the flush on my cheeks, and the absolute devotion in Daniel’s dark silver eyes.He slid his dark silk button-down shirt over my shoulders. It was far too big for me, falling past my thighs, smelling rich with his woodsy cologne."It looks better on you than it ever did on me," he murmured, his long fingers moving to the top button."Daniel..." My voice was barely a breath. "You said we weren't going to think about anything outside this bedroom.""We aren't," he said softly, slowly unbuttoning the shirt he had just put on me, parting the smooth fabric to expose my collarbone. "I’m looking at my whole world right now. Why would I think about anything else?""You're impossible," I teas

    Emily’s POVThe fire beside us popped, sending a spark flying against the mesh screen. The golden light danced across Daniel’s damp shoulders, making the sweat slick on his skin glisten. But the heat that had been radiate from him just seconds ago—the consuming, primal warmth that had swallowed me whole—had vanished.He was still lying right on top of me, his heavy weight anchoring me to the plush rug. But his mind was thousands of miles away."What is it?" I repeated, pushing myself up onto my elbows. The cool air hitting my damp skin made me shiver. "What did she say, Daniel?"Daniel didn't answer immediately. He stared at the glowing rectangle in his palm, his jaw clenched so tightly the muscle below his ear twitched rhythmically. A dark shadow fell over his features, erasing the soft, tender expression he only ever showed me."Nothing important," he rasped finally, but his voice was tight, like a wire strung too taut."She's asking for a meeting, isn't she?" I guessed, running my

    Emily’s POVThe silk whispered down my legs, cool air kissing every inch of skin he’d just bared. I sat there on the edge of that massive bed, completely naked in front of Daniel, my heart beating so hard I could feel it in my throat."Lie back," Daniel murmured, his voice like smoke and gravel.I did. The plush duvet swallowed me, soft against my bare back. Daniel stood over me, his silver eyes tracing every curve like he was memorizing me all over again."You have no idea what you do to me," he said, unbuttoning his white dress shirt with deliberate slowness. Each button revealed more of his sculpted chest, the dark hair trailing down toward his belt. "When I saw those vultures surrounding you—" He yanked the shirt off and threw it across the room. "—I wanted to burn that entire campus to the ground.""Daniel," I whispered, reaching for him.He caught my wrist, pressing a kiss to my palm. His lips traveled down my arm, feather-light, until he reached my shoulder. Then his mouth foun

    Emily’s POVThe morning sun barely cut through the heavy gray clouds over Bellmont University. I thought if I got to my eight o'clock economics lecture early, I could slip in and out before anyone noticed me.I was completely wrong.The second I stepped off the stone library steps onto the central quad, a bright flash blinded my eyes.SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!"There she is!" a man shouted from behind a hedge. "That's Emily!"Before I could even take another step, a wave of people surged over the manicured grass. Dozens of paparazzi, news reporters, and cameramen broke straight through the campus security gates, sprinting toward me with giant lenses and fuzzy microphones held high.My heart slammed against my ribs. I turned on my heel to run back into the library, but two reporters cut me off, trapping me against a thick brick pillar."Emily! Over here!" a woman in a red coat yelled, shoving a microphone two inches from my face. "Is it true your mother caught you in bed with Daniel Walker, yo

    Emily’s POV"You think you won, Daniel?!" Ethan screamed, his voice muffled and distorted through the thick white medical tape strapped across his swollen jaw.He stumbled across the concrete floor of the B2 parking garage, pointing a shaking finger straight at us."You think you can just take my fiancée and walk out of here like nothing happened?!" Ethan spat, his eyes bloodshot and unhinged as he glared at me. "You're a disgusting whore, Emily! You slept with your own stepfather!"Daniel didn't even pause his stride. He shoved me gently into the passenger seat of the armored SUV, slammed the heavy door locked, and turned around to face Ethan."Ethan," Daniel said, his voice terrifyingly calm as he took one step toward him. "First of all, she is not your fiancee!!, you were just a plaything I told her to use as a cover-up. You were dating her but she wasn’t dating you at all!!. So that being said, get the fuck out of my sight before I break the other side of your jaw."Ethan flinched
