Katherine’s POV

That day, I went to the market to get something for the children. They had forgotten so many things while we were rushing to the safe house so now we had to get a lot of their toys and books afresh.

I wasn’t even thinking about danger when it happened. I’d been staring down at the shelf of children’s books, comparing prices, when I felt the shift. That prickling sensation crawling down my neck. The mall was busy but not that busy.

Then two men I hadn’t even seen showed up and grabbed my arm.

“Let me go!” I yelled as what I held poured into the floor.

The second guy moved in from behind, and for a second, I thought, this is it. Not again. Please, not here.

But before I could even scream, Dacre was there.

His fist hit the first guy's face as the man fell into an aisle while he kicked the second guy down.

The second one lunged at me, pulling something shiny from his coat. It was a knife.

“Dacre!” I screamed in fear as I froze. What could I even do in a situation like th

    Katherine’s povEmily frowned when I said that, but Dahlia placed a hand on her arm and tried to calm her down. Then she turned to me. “Look, it doesn’t have to be like that. It’s just… families have fights sometimes and they break apart, but we need to stick together. We can help each other.”Jordan stepped forward in anger, trying to control himself as I saw how his jaw was clenched together. “You are so fucking unbelievable. You stole from us, you lied, and then you break us apart.”Dahlia’s smile faded. “You don’t know the full story.”“Your father…” she started again as I had heard enough from the lying snake.“Speaking of him,” I said, “where is he?”She looked at me in shock. “He’s… somewhere.”I laughed. “He’s somewhere. Where?” She couldn’t say.I looked at Jordan. “She said she doesn’t know where our father is, but yet she wants family to stick together.” Her eyes turned to me. “Look, your father loved me more than he loved anybody else.”Jordan nodded. “Exactly. And that’

    Katherine’s povWith the plans we made, we were able to catch Marcus and the police swooped in to whisk him away which gave us so much joy. Finally I was free to go home.I was in court for his session as I covered myself well with the coat I had on. Marcus Blackwell was sitting with his head held high like this was another business deal he’d walk away from. Even in handcuffs, he looked smug, like he’d already thought of ten ways out.I sat behind the prosecution’s table with Elijah on one side and Dacre on the other. Strange, how life could twist itself into this. My pulse hammered every time the bailiff read out another charge. Fraud. Conspiracy. Kidnapping.Elijah leaned close, whispering, “He’s cornered, Kat. They’ve got everything. Don’t let his face trick you.”I could only nod.The lawyers paraded evidence, the paper trails, shell companies, accounts drained dry. A witness testified about payments that linked straight back to Marcus. Then came the final blow. Emails leaked by

    Katherine’s povI needed to change the subject. It was getting too personal and I didn't like the territory we were in. So I breathed out, grounding myself. “Mara, my contact, she’s found his shell companies. The money trail. If we leak it right, his partners will back off. He’ll lose leverage. But it has to be clean. If it points back to me, or to you, we’re finished.”“Agreed.” He said in a businesslike manner. “Send me what you have. I’ll get my people on it.”“No.”“What do you mean, no?”“I’m not handing this off to your people. This isn’t your empire swallowing mine, Dacre. This is our move. Equal footing. My terms, or I walk away and handle it myself.”“Oh come on.”“You either listen to me or I walk,” I said in a calm manner. “Can you do that?”There was a long pause between us. Then, slowly, he reluctantly said, “Yes.”I smiled. “Good,” I said. “Because if Marcus thinks he can break me to get to you, he’s about to find out he picked the wrong woman.”Dacre chuckled. “God, Ka

    Katherine’s pov“Then we watch him flinch,” Mara said. “If he retaliates, we have the receipts. If he tries to turn it on you, we can show it was already going on. You don’t look like the unstable one. He does.”I thought about the kids again, about safety, about a future that i wasn’t scared of. Part of me wanted to call dacre and tell him everything, to let him storm into Marcus’s house and burn it down. He deserved the chance. Maybe he wanted it. But I shook my head.“Elijah will be your shield,” Mara said. “And I’ll be your eyes.”“And if it blows back?” I asked, then immediately knew the answer.“Then we deal with the blow,” she said. “You protect your kids. You protect your life.”I looked at the two of them. They were scrappy allies, not knights. They were imperfect and bruised. They were mine for this moment.“Okay.” I sighed. I was tired of the thought of what I was about to do anyway. “Let’s do it.”“We end it here,” I said, and the words were calmer than I expected, but th

    Katherine's povA knock came on my door as I looked to it. It opened with Mara coming in. Mara was my spy. She stood there for a while as I gestured her in.“You look like you’ve seen a lot of better days,” she said as I shrugged.“I know. Thanks for observing.”She smiled and sat down.“What did you find for me?” I asked.She opened her pockets and got out a file.“I got what you asked for, but it’s worse than we thought.”She dropped the file on my table.I set the coffee down, suddenly wishing it was stronger. “Spit it out.”She took a breath. “Marcus Blackwell’s not just poking around Dacre’s empire. He’s built a net. Shell companies, cutouts, some of his people are fronting as independent investors. He’s been funneling pressure through anyone he can get near Dacre. And… he’s using you.”My chest went cold. “Using me how?”“He’s been pushing contact. Little threats, anonymous calls, deals collapsing when you need them most. He’s not trying to break you directly. He’s trying to mak
