“Join us.”
Adrian’s invitation rings in my head, smug and deliberate. The way he says it—like Caroline and he are some exclusive pair inviting an outsider—sets my teeth on edge. But the idea of leaving Caroline alone with him for dinner? That’s not happening.
The words leave my mouth before I’ve fully thought them through. “Fine. I’ll join you.”
The shift in their expressions is immediate. Caroline’s eyes widen, and Adrian’s smirk falters just enough to fuel my satisfaction. Clearly, they didn’t see that coming.
“You will?” Adrian recovers quickly, raising an eyebrow.
“I will,” I reply, crossing my arms over my chest. “Why not? It’s dinner. And it's my wife who you are with.”
Caroline glances between us, visibly uncomfortable. “Um... are you sure, Knoxx?”
I meet her gaze

Caroline’s Point of ViewThe door closes behind us with a soft click.Adrian sets his keys on the counter and gives me a tired smile. “Home sweet home.”I don’t smile back. I just stare at the blood staining the sleeve of his shirt.He notices. “It’s not as bad as it looks.”I cross my arms tightly. “You said that the last time.”He shrugs. “And I was right then, too.”My jaw tightens. “Let me see it.”He sighs but doesn’t argue. He walks toward the bathroom and I follow, watching every step he takes. His limp is faint but there. My chest aches.Inside, he peels off his shirt slowly. I catch my breath.The burn on his arm is deeper than he made it sound. The bruise blooming across his ribs is c

Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe smoke clings to everything—my jacket, my throat, the inside of my damn lungs.The second we’re out, the air feels thin, too light to hold the weight pressing against my ribs. Fire crews are yelling. Someone pulls Adrian aside to check him for burns, but he pushes past them, scanning the area like a madman.And then I hear her.“Adrian!”Her voice cuts through everything.Caroline.She runs toward him, eyes wide, hands trembling. She doesn’t even look at me.It’s like I’m not here.“Caroline,” Adrian breathes, and then she’s in his arms.She grabs the front of his soot-covered shirt and buries her face against his chest. No hesitation. No second thought. Just straight to him.&nbs

Adrian’s Point of ViewThe exhibition hall is buzzing with energy. Booths are lit up in every direction, showcasing jewelry, designs, tools. Voices blend in a symphony of small talk, sales pitches, and the occasional excited laughter when someone finds something they love.But I’m not here for any of that.I’m here for her.And for Liam.“Excuse me,” I ask a staffer near the entrance, “is the Hill & Bloom booth in this wing?”She checks the tablet in her hands and nods. “Yes, sir. Local vendors are in Row C, right-hand side. They’re at the end.”“Thanks.”My heart thuds as I walk, eyes scanning. I know I shouldn’t feel this nervous, but I do. I haven’t seen her since that night she fell asleep on my shoulder. Since she hugged me li

Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe whiskey burns going down, but I don’t flinch.I don’t even blink.I pour another glass. Let it fill to the rim before I bring it to my lips.The house is quiet. Too quiet. Elle’s at her aunt’s place tonight. I told her I had meetings. Told myself I needed time to think.But all I’ve done is sit here. Alone. Drinking. Thinking.And staring at the same damn photo on my phone.Liam.He’s laughing in it. A wide, full smile, his teeth showing. His eyes crinkled at the corners.He’s not even looking at the camera—he’s looking at Caroline. She’s off to the side, probably making him laugh with one of her stupid jokes. He looks happy. Whole.I lean forward, resting my elbows on my knees, the glass still in my hand.He should’ve been laughing with me.I should’

Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe press conference room feels colder than it should.Maybe it’s the nerves. Or maybe it’s guilt. It doesn’t matter. I sit there in front of the microphone, eyes locked on the crowd of journalists filtering in—cameras, notepads, recorders.All of them waiting to hear what the CEO of Wayne & Co. is about to say.I glance at the clock behind them.Three minutes left.My heart pounds. I’ve faced shareholders before. Negotiated millions. Led boardroom takeovers. But this is different.Because this time, I’m here to burn myself down.“Sir,” my assistant whispers beside me, handing over a final document. “Press release, just in case you want to stick to the talking points.”I shake my head slowly. “No script.”He nods, lips tight.I wait until the countdown hits zero

Knoxx’s Point of View“You can’t do this to me, Knoxx!”Dolly’s voice pierces the air like a siren. We’re inside the station office, and heads are turning. I don’t care. Let them watch.I stop walking.She catches up to me, breath heavy, her slippers scraping the pavement. She grabs my wrist.“You think you can just erase me like that?” she snaps. “After everything we’ve been through?”I pull my hand back. “What we’ve been through was built on a lie.”Dolly laughs—short and bitter. “You benefited from it, Knoxx. Don’t pretend you didn’t.”I grit my teeth. “I made mistakes. But I didn’t drag a child into it to trap someone.”She scoffs. “You loved Elle.”My throat tightens. I did. I still do. But it’s not the same now.
