POV Simon

I sat in the lawyer’s office, the one I hired to defend Amy, trying to appear composed, but inside, I was a wreck of anxiety and frustration. I checked the watch on my wrist for the fifth time in ten minutes. She was late.

“Simon, relax,” he said, closing a case file with a dry snap. “Amy’s on her way. Traffic on Main Avenue is always unpredictable.”

I nodded, unable to relax. I had never felt this impatient, this anxious to see someone. The adrenaline that usually energized me during a negotiation now morphed into an almost juvenile nervousness.

My mind raced back to the night before. To the darkness of Antony’s garden, to the confession I had foolishly blurted out. “I care because you’re the first woman I’ve ever truly loved.”

I remembered the shock in Amy’s eyes, the heat of our kiss, and how she had yielded to my touch, responding with an urgency that seemed to mi

    Warren’s POVThe scent of Nora’s perfume—that cloying, sweet aroma that once enticed me—now choked the air of my office like smoke from a landfill fire. I watched her utter those words—“I love you,” “second chance”—and felt a deep nausea rise in my throat. She put on a pathetic performance. It was a desperate attempt of a wounded animal crawling back to shelter before winter hit.For a second, a heavy, suffocating silence hung between us. I let her believe for a single heartbeat that her confession had softened the stone I carry in my chest. Then, the cold logic that governs my life took over. Nora wasn’t a passionate lover; she was a risk. A loose end. A blackmailer trying to switch tactics because the previous one nearly killed her.“A second chance?” I repeated, my voice cracking like a whip.I shoved her away. She didn’t expect it; she staggered back, eyes wide with su

    POV WarrenMy engine roared as I left Amy’s mansion behind. The asphalt seemed to surrender to my command as I accelerated toward the city’s financial district. I should have felt satisfied. After all, I had achieved the impossible: I cleared a multi-million dollar debt, restored my credibility, and backed Amy into a corner at the altar. But the coldness in her eyes… that wasn’t part of the plan. This new Amy—icy and impenetrable—was an enigma I had yet to crack.I pulled into my private spot at the office. The glass and steel tower stood as a monument to my ambition, though I knew the foundations were trembling within. I rode the private elevator up, adjusting my cufflinks in the mirror’s reflection. I needed to project power. On the 42nd floor, only the muffled drone of conversation from the boardroom, where the shareholders awaited me, broke the hallway’s silence.Before I could enter, a heavy hand landed on my

    POV SimonThe blue glow of my phone screen provided the only light in the dark corner of the Safehouse. Outside, rain drummed against the tin roof, creating a monotonous, depressing melody that perfectly matched the constant state of hyper-vigilance I lived in. When Amy’s notification popped up, my stomach knotted.Her words were brief, urgent, and heavy with the danger I’d been expecting—yet they were no less terrifying:“Get Sara out of the country now. Peter has stopped playing games. He’s hired mercenaries and is working with her family. They’re scouring every inch of the city, knocking on doors they shouldn’t. It’s only a matter of time before they get too close.”I closed my eyes for a second, feeling the weight of that responsibility. Peter wouldn’t accept defeat easily, and his alliance with Sara’s family made everything worse; they had personal motives and shadowy resources.

    POV AmyThe silence following Warren’s declaration about the wedding grew so heavy I could hear the frantic thumping of my blood pulsing in my temples. He tucked the receipt into his jacket’s inner pocket with the flair of a magician finishing a masterstroke. Then, he flashed that rehearsed benevolence that once charmed me but now made me want to scream.“I’ve scheduled a dinner for tomorrow night at my place,” he announced, his voice smooth as if we were merely discussing the weather. “I invited several vendors and a top-tier wedding planner. We need to finalize the date, choose the flowers, set the menu… in short, we're preparing the event of the year.”I stared at him for a long beat. His audacity almost fascinated me. He truly believed that after paying off a debt with money of questionable origin, I would simply revert to the porcelain bride he so admired.“Don't bother, Warren,” I replied,

    Amy’s POVPale afternoon light filtered through the gaps in the bungalow’s curtains, casting jagged lines across the frayed carpet. Nora watched me, her expression flickering between pity and scorn. She let out a dry, humorless laugh and shook her head.“You’re being quite convincing, Amy, I’ll admit,” she said, her voice still thick with the hoarseness of recent tears. “But I’m not naïve. Everyone knows how you look at him. Everyone at the office used to whisper about how you gravitated toward Warren, as if he were the sun and you were a planet with no light of your own. You love him. You’ve always loved him with a blindness that bordered on pathological. Why should I believe you’ve suddenly become this relentless vigilante?”The weight of her words hit me. To everyone else, the old Amy—the woman I was desperately trying to bury—was a pathetic figure. I took a deep breath, lettin

    POV AmyThe following days were a blur of claustrophobic hours inside the mansion. I felt like a caged animal, watching the world through the heavy living room curtains. I knew that outside, in some unmarked car or around a strategic corner, Detective Silva’s men monitored my every move, waiting for me to lead them straight to Sara.The pressure was stifling. My phone buzzed constantly with notifications I refused to open. Simon. He had sent dozens of messages and called countless times. Every time his name lit up the screen, my heart gave a painful jolt—a volatile mix of longing and fear. I needed to know if Sara was okay, if she was eating, and if she was safe. But responding to Simon carried a risk I couldn’t take. If the police intercepted our communication, they would find the hideout, and the protective order would send me straight to a cell.To make matters worse, April Enterprises was hemorrhaging.I spent my mornings staring at
