For the past three years, Adrian has been by my side. Not as my boyfriend. Not even as something I could clearly define. But as someone—someone who took care of my son when I was too exhausted to even lift my head. Someone who stayed up with me when I thought I was failing as a mother. Someone who made sure I ate when I forgot, who held me when I cried, who reminded me that I wasn’t alone.
He never pushed. Never asked for more. And yet, everyone around us assumed we were together. I let them assume. It was easier than explaining something I wasn’t even sure I understood myself. Because the truth is, Adrian and I never had that conversation.
There was no grand confession, no defining moment where we looked at each other and decided, ‘this is it.’ There was only ‘this.’
The quiet companionship. The shared responsibilities. The way he always seemed to be there when I needed him most. An

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.

Caroline's Point of ViewAdrian’s quiet when we get home.Too quiet.Liam runs ahead of us, kicking his shoes off and flopping on the couch like nothing happened. Like Knoxx didn’t show up. Like my entire body didn’t go cold when I saw him staring at our son like he recognized something he shouldn't have.I don't know how Liam does it—how he carries so much light without realizing the darkness trying to crawl back in.I set my purse down on the counter and open the fridge just to keep my hands busy. I’m not hungry. I’m not thirsty. I just need something to do so I don’t look at Adrian and answer the questions I know are waiting in his silence.He finally speaks when Liam runs upstairs to get his toy robot.“I didn’t mean to listen.”I close the fridge and look at him. “You did.”He exhales slowly. “I only heard part of it.”I don’t answer.He walks toward me, slow, measured. “You asked Knoxx why it matters now.”My jaw tightens. “It doesn’t.”He stops a few steps away from me. His eye

Knoxx’s Point of ViewI spend the entire week drowning in files.Surveillance reports. Background checks. Photos.Everything I can get my hands on about Caroline Hill.I don’t eat much. I barely sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see his face. Liam. The way he held his chopsticks. The exact curl of his lip when he frowned at the lake. The same way I used to as a kid, according to my mother.At first, I tried to shrug it off.Coincidence.Kids mimic adults. Maybe he got it from someone else.But the more I watched, the more it gnawed at me. The way he walks. The shape of his fingers. The look he gives when he’s unsure about something. I’ve seen it before. In the mirror.So I called in a favor. No name, no paperwork. Just a quiet investigation. One of the old agents who sti
