For one brief moment, I thought Zane might strike me.

His expression was frighteningly still.

Then he laughed.

A cold, contemptuous laugh that made my stomach twist.

"A better man than me?"

He looked at Michael again.

"This?"

Michael's face remained impassive.

Zane circled him slowly.

"Tell me, Michael. Is this how you spend your time? Rescuing other men's women?"

Michael said nothing.

Zane stopped behind him.

"Or did she promise you something special?"

"Leave him alone," I snapped.

Zane turned

    Daniel was inside the mansion. Michael and Alex were somewhere below us. The plan was falling apart before I even knew whether it had begun.Then, from somewhere behind us, a familiar voice rang out."Zane Wilde! Put your weapon down!"Zane froze.I turned my head.At the far end of the corridor, surrounded by armed officers, stood Daniel.His disguise was gone.His gun was raised.His eyes locked on Zane."Let her go," he ordered.For one beautiful second, hope surged through me.Then Zane pulled me against him and pressed the cold barrel of his gun to my temple.I stopped breathing."Take one more step," Zane snarled, "and I'll put a bullet through her head."Daniel went still.The officers behind him raised their weapons, but none of them fired.I could feel Zane's heart pounding against my back.Or perhaps it was mine."Zane Wilde," Daniel said carefully, "this is over."Zane laughed."Over? You think you can walk into my house and tell me when it's over?""You're surrounded.""An

    The guard led me back through the corridors toward Zane's office.As we approached, I noticed two more men standing outside the door.One of them was speaking into a radio.The other had a gun strapped to his waist.My stomach tightened.Something was happening.I could feel it.The guard opened the office door and ushered me inside.Zane stood beside his desk, looking impatient.His eyes immediately settled on me."Well?"The doctor cleared his throat."I need to conduct a few more tests before I can give you a definitive answer regarding the pregnancy."Zane's expression darkened."How long?""I'll need access to her medical records and an ultrasound at a properly equipped facility to assess the pregnancy. Determining paternity is a separate matter and cannot be established by a routine examination."For a moment, Zane said nothing.Then he looked at me."You heard him."I swallowed."Yes.""You'll do whatever is necessary to establish whether the child is mine."I lifted my chin."

    The room was small but well-equipped, with a medical bed, a cabinet filled with supplies, and a desk near the window. A chair had been placed beside the bed.The curtains were drawn.I could hear the faint hum of an air conditioner.The doctor entered behind me and closed the door.I turned toward him."Before we begin, I want you to understand something. I won't agree to anything without knowing what you're doing.""Of course," he replied.His voice sounded strangely tense.He placed his medical bag on the desk.Then he looked toward the far corner of the room.I followed his gaze.Someone was standing beside the cabinet.A man.He wore dark trousers, a pale shirt, and a medical mask that covered most of his face. A pair of glasses sat low on his nose, and a dark cap concealed his hair.At first, I barely noticed him.Then he shifted slightly.And something about the way he stood made my heart skip.I knew that posture.I had seen it before.My eyes narrowed.The man slowly raised hi

    Amanda screamed and collapsed, clutching her leg.For a second, I couldn't move.I couldn't breathe.I could only stare at the woman on the floor, at the blood spreading beneath her, at the weapon still in Zane's hands."Oh my God!"My voice came out as a strangled cry.I stumbled backward, nearly tripping over my own feet.Zane lowered the shotgun as though he had merely put an end to an irritating conversation.Amanda writhed on the floor, gasping and screaming in pain."Help me!" she cried. "Somebody, please!"I looked at Zane in horror."What have you done?"He glanced at the woman bleeding on his floor.Then he looked at the papers scattered across his desk."You wanted to run away with my money," he said calmly. "I'd love to see you try running now."I stared at him.He had shot her.He had actually shot her.And he was standing there mocking her as she bled."You monster!" I screamed.His gaze snapped toward me."Careful, Vivian."I barely heard him.I couldn't stop looking at

    I looked between them, confused."What is this about?"Zane didn't look at me."Your precious best friend has been stealing from me."My eyes widened."What?""Money. Documents. Access codes. Anything she thought she could get her hands on before disappearing."Amanda's face twisted."You're lying.""Am I?"He opened the folder and removed several printed pages."Transfers from accounts you weren't authorized to access. Payments routed through companies you thought I wouldn't notice. And a little arrangement with someone outside the country who was supposed to help you disappear."He placed the papers on the desk one by one."You were planning to leave with my money."Amanda lifted her chin."So what if I was?"I stared at her.I couldn't believe what I was hearing."Amanda, you were stealing from him?"She turned toward me, her expression hardening."Don't look at me like that.""Like what?""Like you're better than me!""I didn't say that!""You didn't have to."Her voice rose, and

    Zane didn't answer.He walked toward the desk, picked up his glass, and emptied it in one swallow.“If the child is mine” he continued. “I will spare Alex's life, but if not...”A strange feeling washed over me, so powerful that I nearly collapsed.Then he added, “He won't live to see his child.”I rushed toward Zane.“If you hurt him again—”Zane faced me.“What will you do, Vivian?”I stared at him, trembling with rage.“You've already done your worst, Vivian. You told the police all about my business, now I have to clean that mess with the life of Michael.”I stood shocked.So, that was it.He was going to use Michael to threaten his brother.I stepped closer, forcing myself not to look away.“If any harm comes to Alex, I will make sure I kill you myself.”Something cold settled over his face.“I thought you wanted to send me to prison?”“People like you deserve something worse.”For several seconds, he simply watched me.Then he smiled.It wasn't a happy smile.It was the kind of
