Inside the top-floor suite of the Regency Hotel, the television was still playing the local news. Elena’s face was frozen on the screen in a still frame from the interview.

A heavy glass lamp flew across the room and smashed into the wall, showering the expensive carpet with sharp pieces of glass.

"She's a liar!" Mark Montgomery screamed. His face was purple, and the veins in his neck were thick and bulging. He kicked the coffee table, sending a stack of magazines flying into the air. "She’s a

    Inside the top-floor suite of the Regency Hotel, the television was still playing the local news. Elena’s face was frozen on the screen in a still frame from the interview.A heavy glass lamp flew across the room and smashed into the wall, showering the expensive carpet with sharp pieces of glass."She's a liar!" Mark Montgomery screamed. His face was purple, and the veins in his neck were thick and bulging. He kicked the coffee table, sending a stack of magazines flying into the air. "She’s a crazy bitch! How can she say that on TV? Ten years! I gave her ten years of my life!"Adrian Visser was sitting at the desk in the corner. He wasn't screaming. He looked much worse than Mark. His skin was gray, and his eyes were fixed on his laptop screen."Shut up, Mark," Adrian said. His voice was dangerously quiet."What do you mean, shut up?" Mark yelled, turning on him. He pointed a shaking finger at the television. "Did you hear what she said? She told millions of people that I cheated! Sh

    Julian’s POVThe red light on the biometric scanner was blinking. It looked like a tiny, angry eye. I pressed my palm against the cold steel of the safe, but nothing happened. It needed Adrian Visser’s eye. It needed his fingerprint."Sir," Marcus said. His voice was a harsh whisper. He was looking down at his tablet. The screen showed the security map of the building. "We have a problem. A big problem.""Not now, Marcus," I said. I didn't look at him. I was trying to see if there was a gap between the safe and the wall. There wasn't. It was bolted into the solid concrete floor."The five-minute camera loop is about to end," Marcus said. He grabbed my arm. His fingers were shaking a little bit. "And that is not all. Look at the monitor. There are two guards on this floor. They are doing a random check. They are walking down our hallway right now.""We just need two more minutes," I growled. "There has to be a manual override. Adrian is a paranoid man. He wouldn't trust a computer wit

    JULIAN’s POVI checked my messages. Marcus had sent a new location. A private office building owned by a shell company. Adrian’s personal vault. I stood up and grabbed my coat. "Stefan!" I called out. Stefan ran into the room. "What is it?" "I'm going out. I have the location of Adrian’s private records. If that contract exists, it’s there." "Julian, you can't leave! If the press sees you—" "I'm taking the underground tunnel to the garage three blocks away," I said. "They won't see me. I'm taking Marcus and two others. You stay here. Watch the doors. If the police come back, you call my lawyer immediately." "Be careful, Julian," Stefan said. "Adrian is waiting for you to make a move. This could be a trap." "I hope it is," I said. I felt the cold rage settle deep in my bones. "I’m tired of waiting for them to hit me. It’s time I hit back." I walked toward the hidden elevator in the back of the study. I felt a strange sense of peace. I was a man of action, and finally, I had so

    Julian’s POVThe sun was going down, casting long, bloody shadows across the floor of my study. I hadn't eaten. I hadn't slept. My eyes felt like someone had rubbed sand into them. But I couldn't stop. Every minute I wasted was another minute Mark and Adrian spent poisoning the world against me.Stefan was still with me. He was standing by the window, watching the gates through binoculars. The crowd hadn't left. If anything, they were getting louder."Marcus just checked in," Stefan said, not turning around. "He’s at the motel. He found the room.""Is the guard there?" I asked. I stood up, my joints popping."He’s there. He’s scared. Marcus says he saw David peeking through the curtains every five minutes. He knows someone is coming for him.""Good," I said. I picked up my phone. "Connect me to Marcus. Put it on the big screen."A second later, the wall monitor flickered to life. It was a shaky camera feed from Marcus’s phone. He was standing in a dark, narrow hallway. The carpet loo

    Adrian’s POVIn a luxury hotel suite across town, Adrian Visser was pouring a glass of very expensive champagne. He felt wonderful. He looked at the TV on the wall, which was showing a live feed of the protesters outside the Vane Estate. "Look at that," Adrian said, pointing at the screen. "The Vane Industries stock just hit a ten-year low. Julian is losing millions every second he spends hiding in that house."Mark was sitting on the sofa. He was wearing a soft, gray sweater that Adrian had bought him. He had a fake bandage on his forehead to make it look like a protester had accidentally hit him. He looked like a victim. "The tip worked," Mark said, a greedy smile on his face. "The police and the child services people just left the gates. I saw it on the news. They went in there to check on the kid." "Of course they did," Adrian laughed. "I made sure the reports were very detailed. I told them Julian was hitting the walls and screaming. With that video of the breakroom already ou

    Julian’s POVThe air in my study was thick with the smell of old books and the cold scent of high-end cologne. Outside, I could still hear the distant, muffled roar of the crowd. Inside, it was just me and Stefan. Marcus had already left to hunt down David, the security guard. I wouldn't rest until that man was in front of me, begging for mercy.Stefan was pacing the length of the room. He had a glass of water in his hand, but he wasn't drinking it. He looked at me, his eyes full of worry."Julian, we need a plan that doesn't involve you breaking anyone's neck," Stefan said. His voice was low and serious. "The world is watching. If you trip, they will pounce.""I know," I said. I was sitting at the desk, staring at a map of the city. "Marcus is tracking the guard's phone. Once we have that unedited video, we can show the world that I was defending my family. But that’s just one part of the problem.""The biggest problem is Mark's claim," Stefan said. He stopped pacing and sat across
