Tristan’s POV

Mira puts down the drink on the table, rubbing my back as she sits down next to me. I don’t know if I should push her hand off me or not. I don’t know what to feel.

Part of me is still at the restaurant, even though I’m already home, wondering why Elena still wants to push through with the divorce.

Wondering how she clawed her way to the top.

What did she have to do? What did that old bastard ask of her?

What acts did he make her commit? How dirty did he treat her?

And how much di

    Tristan’s POVFor a second, I knew what heaven felt like.I close my eyes and rested my head against Elena’s shoulder. The world around us melts, molding into this perfect little bubble that only gets better when Sophie and Liam rush over to us.A happy family.My happy family.I lose myself in the vision. What could’ve been if I made the right choices.What could be, maybe…After what feels like months, years, decades… Elena finally breaks free.“Tristan,” she gasps. “I can’t believe that it really is you.”“It really is me,” I whisper, fearing that if I speak any louder, my voice would break and I wouldn’t be able to hold back my tears. “I told you everything would be fine.”Elena lets out a teary, shaky laugh. “No, you didn’t tell me anything like that. But I’m glad you’re free.”I open my mouth to ask her what she did, what landed me here, but then Alexander clears his throat and slips into the conversation.“Hey, pal, everyone’s waiting for their turn with the hugs,” he jokes, an

    Tristan’s POV“You and Elena are broken up?” I splutter as soon as Alexander finishes his story.Alexander just rolls his eyes. “No need to sound fucking excited about it. Yes, we did break up. She told me to get out of her face, so I left. Now she won’t talk to me or let me fix things.”I bite my tongue to stop myself from telling him that it’s all his fault, and if there’s one thing I learned, it’s to leave Elena alone and just sit in my own mistakes. Even now, I’m not completely sure if she’s forgiven me yet.“But yeah,” Alexander huffs. “When I bring you to her, you’re gonna find a way to make her talk to me.”“I’m not sure if that’s the right approach,” I say as tactfully as I can. “I know that you and Elena are together now and you’ve been together for a while… but we were married for years. I lived a long time with her being upset with me after that marriage fell apart. The best way to deal with it is to let her come to you at her own time.”“Well, that didn’t work out for you,

    Elena’s POV“Tristan is free now. He’s going to be let out!”Catherine’s voice plays in my head over and over.The announcement came when I was in the study room helping Sophie and Liam with their classes. Because of the ongoing issue and my newly-solidified belief that Russell will stop at nothing, I decided to let them continue studying this way.That’s when Catherine called and gave me the announcement, her voice wobbly with tears.“I don’t know what you did, but I’m eternally grateful,” she sobbed. “If there’s anything I can do—anything at all—just let me know! The children too… our grandkids…”“When will he be out?”“Today. I got a call from the station and he’ll be with us soon.”Today?My mind starts to whir, spewing one thought after the other. So fast that I can’t keep up, especially when the twins hug me and start to cheer.“Uncle Tristan is out?” Sophie exclaims. “That’s amazing! What did you do, Mommy? Did you get him out?”I can’t speak.I didn’t do anything to get him out

    Tristan’s POV“What?” I ask, and like an idiot, I immediately add, “I didn’t do shit. Why would he want to talk to me?”“Don’t know,” the officer says, rolling his eyes. “You do know that you will get in further trouble if you don’t come with me, right?”Further trouble?Then that means that I’m already in trouble.Fuck me.I thought I was careful. I haven’t even brought out the phone since I used it to call Elena. Did they find out about Benjamin? Did his men conclude that the best way to punish me is to hand me out to the warden, the one they surely bribe to get here?I’m not someone who’s easily scared, but perhaps for the first time since I got here, I’m afraid.“Move along,” the officer commands, grabbing me by the shoulders and leading me to down the hallway and further into the offices.For a while, I think about hitting him and running. But where would that take me? It’s not like this is an open field that would lead me to an exit.Instead, I just swallow hard and try to keep m

    Third Person POVUnfortunately and in a way fortunately, this isn’t the first time it happened to Portia.Russell never had a good temper. He didn’t always lay a hand on her, but when he does, it’s always like this. His hands wrapped around her neck. Pressure on her throat. Her breath stuck in the pipe, begging to flow.Portia knows what to do.Instead of panicking, she looks at Russell straight in the eye and puts her hands on top of his, like they’re dancing. But she knows that she’s performing for her life. They have children. They’re supposed to be this perfect couple.“You will leave a mark if you keep going,” she manages to choke out. “You don’t want them to see that, do you?”“I don’t fucking care,” Russell grits out. “I don’t want my fucking cunt of a wife going behind my back to negotiate with my biggest enemy and see her ex boyfriend at the same time.”“I did it for you,” she points out. “Why else would I go out there? I did it because I love you.”The last three words seem t

    Third Person POVPortia was never the nervous kind.She’s the kind of person who can face an entire angry crowd and not flinch once.She’s the one who’s handled every single irate client or investor for Russell. The one who calms them down. The one who befriends them.The one who eventually gets them to bring out their money and invest.Prime Meridian wasn’t just Russell’s product—it was also a collection of her words, her patience, and her boldness.Yet this perfect picture of a powerful woman is nothing but a shaking little girl as the chauffeur approaches their home.Russell is home and she knows it. She can feel it in the air, like a flash of lightning. Even just looking at the door and the windows, she knows that he’s waiting for her inside.“Maybe we can go somewhere else,” she tells the chauffeur. “The mall, maybe. We can tell Russell that I’ve been out shopping. He won’t know any better, right? I mean, we can get some things and pass them off as—”“Madam, the Master puts a trac
