LEAH’S POV

The rain kept falling like it was trying to erase everything that had just happened, but the blood on my hands and the stillness of my father’s body refused to disappear.

I stayed on my knees in the mud, both palms pressed hard against his chest. His skin was still warm. That warmth felt like the only proof I had left that he hadn’t left me yet. The rain mixed with the blood, turning it thin and pink as it ran down my wrists and into the soaked fabric of my sleeves.

    Damien POV The first thing I heard was the steady beeping of a machine beside me. I tried to open my eyes, but even that small movement made my head ache. My entire body felt heavy and there was a dull pain running through my shoulder and across my ribs that made me realize I wasn't at home. I forced my eyes open and stared at the unfamiliar white ceiling, and for several seconds I couldn't remember how I had gotten there. Then the memories came rushing back the courthouse, the gunshot, Nona getting hurt, the transmitter, the estate exploding, the helicopter. I remembered Ethan turning it toward me before it started falling and I remembered running even though I knew there was no way I could outrun it. I remembered the heat swallowing everything around me. After that, there was nothing. I tried to sit up but pain shot through my side and forced me back against the pillow. "Damien?" I turned my head toward the sound of the voice and found Leah sitting beside my bed. For a mome

    Ethan POV I kept my eyes on the road as I drove away from the courthouse pressing harder on the accelerator whenever I thought I heard another vehicle behind me. My heart was pounding from everything that had happened and my hands tightened around the steering wheel every time I remembered the moment Damien had walked into that courthouse and taken Leah from me. I had been so close. She had been standing beside me with the marriage documents in front of her. All she needed to do was sign them, and then she would have been my wife. I had already arranged everything for our new life, from the house in Romania to her passport and the flight waiting to take us there. Instead, Damien had arrived at the exact moment I needed him gone. I glanced into the rearview mirror again but there was no sign of him. Finally, it seemed like I had shaken him off He had become like a ghost who wouldn't stop hunting me and taking what I love from me. For now, I had to keep moving. I pulled out

    Damien POV The gunshot tore through the courthouse registry, and the entire room erupted into chaos. People screamed and scrambled for cover, knocking over chairs and dropping folders as they tried to get away from the front of the room. My heart slammed against my ribs. I hadn't even realized Ethan had a gun until I saw the flash right in front of me. "Leah! Leah, are you okay?" I grabbed her and quickly checked her over, running my hands over her arms and torso and looking for any sign of blood on her white dress. She was shaking badly, but there was no blood, no wound, and nothing to suggest that the bullet had touched her. She was safe. I pulled her against me, holding her tightly while the people around us continued screaming. "I'm okay," she whispered against my neck, her voice shaking. "I know. I've got you." I looked toward the front of the room, expecting to see Ethan still standing beside the magistrate's desk, but he was already moving toward one of the side exits.

    Damien POV “I object.” My voice echoed through the courthouse and for a moment, nobody moved. The entire room went dead silent as every head turned toward me. I stood firmly at the entrance with my gun raised and locked on target while Nona's men spread out behind me, aggressively securing the perimeter. Terrified whispers broke out around us, mixed with the scraping of chairs as several couples hurried away from the area but I barely noticed them. They were nothing more than white noise to me. My eyes were fixed entirely on Leah. She stood beside Ethan at the front of the room holding a pen about to use to sign away her life on those marriage documents. She was pale but the moment our eyes met, the fear in them gave way to something else. Relief. She had been waiting for me. “Damien.” My name left her lips like a broken whisper, but in the silence of the room it sounded loud. She dropped the pen and it clattered against the wooden desk and she immediately started moving t

    Ethan POV “Leah!” I yelled, earning several annoyed stares from the people passing through the courthouse hallway. “Leah” I yelled again ignoring them and kicked the bathroom door again. “Calm down man” one man said. “Don't you know how ladies are? They want to look perfect at all time she must be touching up her powder or something” I smiled at him “Yeah, right but you don't understand my fiancee she is a little sick so we are just trying to hurry it up just in case…..” I didn't finish letting the words hang in the air he gasped, and those around gave me pitying looks. “Oh man, I didn't know she'd get better. You guys will be together forever don't worry about it” I was about to kick it a second time when the door suddenly opened and Leah stepped out. “What is wrong with you?” she yelled. “Can't I use the bathroom in peace?” She didn't wait for my answer before walking back toward our seats, and I followed her, forcing myself to calm down. “You were taking too long,” I sai

    Damien POV I kept pacing back and forth across the living room while the butler moved around the house, gathering Nona's men as quickly as possible. Every time I heard footsteps in the hallway, I looked toward the door, hoping it meant everyone was finally ready, but the wait was becoming unbearable. “How much longer?” I asked again, turning toward Nona. She was standing near the sofa, watching me with the same worried expression she had been wearing ever since we discovered Leah was missing. “Just a little while, Damien. Be patient. They're getting everyone together.” “I don't have time to be patient,” I snapped. The moment the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Nona hadn't done anything wrong, and she was just as desperate to get Leah back as I was. “I'm sorry,” I said, rubbing a hand over my face. “I shouldn't have shouted at you.” “I know you're scared for her,” Nona replied gently. “We all are.” I nodded, but her reassurance didn't make the waiting any easier. Leah wa
