NATHANIEL

Glasses meet one another constantly throughout the hall, the sound carrying above polite conversation and carefully measured laughter between guests.

Most of the faces surrounding me remain unfamiliar, even though they stand on my family’s estate, their comfort obvious.

Amanda’s family and her friends.

They occupy the space naturally, filling it with energy I neither encouraged nor resisted, because the truth is, I never felt inclined to invite anyone myself, only a few colleagues and

    BETTYBetty was right. I shouldn’t have crossed the threshold. I should have stayed in the damn elevator and spared myself the absolute, soul-crushing agony of picturing this."I thought I told you to stay put." Betty’s sharp, commanding voice slices through the air, snapping the hallucination in half.My eyes fly open, and she is standing in the middle of the room, a heavy black duffel bag slung over her shoulder, her iPad clutched against her chest.I swallow a dry lump in my throat, desperate to force the dark, violent jealousy down before she can see it bleeding out of my pores."Got everything you needed?" I mutter, my voice sounding entirely unrecognizable as I bury my trembling hands deep into my trouser pockets so she can't see them shaking."We should get out of here."She frowns, her eyes briefly scanning my rigid posture, but she nods. "Yeah. We can go."She starts walking. And as she passes me, her shoulder briefly brushes against my arm, the faint scent of her vanilla per

    NATHANIELI don’t know what I was expecting to find at the end of this drive, but it wasn't this.When I first found out Betty was raising my daughter in the exact same building as a bustling nightclub, my blood had practically boiled in my veins.I had pictured a loud, chaotic, dangerous hellhole. I had pictured drunk patrons spilling onto the sidewalks and my seven-year-old daughter sleeping above a bassline that rattled the floorboards.But as the car glides to a halt, reality hits me with a freezing dose of logic.The vehicle parks in front of an entirely separate, private entrance tucked away on the secure side of the high-rise. There are reinforced steel doors, keypad entries, and a doorman who looks more like a highly trained mercenary than hospitality staff.Rhys didn't put my family in danger. He kept them in a multi-million-dollar luxury vault.A bitter, metallic taste floods my mouth as the heavy metal doors of the private elevator slide shut, sealing Betty and me inside th

    NATHANIEL“Why would you do that?” I scoff, trying to ignore the hammering of my own pulse. “Shouldn’t you be somewhere barking orders? Crushing businesses? Killing puppies? Whatever it is you do all day?”He releases my wrist gently, stepping around me to block the door. Then he lifts his arm, casually checking the heavy Rolex on his wrist.“The puppies can wait,” he deadpans, a dark, amused smile returning to his face.Is that another joke? Who the hell is this guy?“The point is, you stay here. I’ll go. You can’t afford to be seen running around town.”“Seen by who, Nathaniel?” I throw my hands up. “This is the second time you’ve said it isn’t safe, and you are giving me zero information! I need to know why I am trapped here.”He closes the remaining distance between us, his voice dropping into a low, dangerous whisper.“Did you speak to your boyfriend?”I shake my head, my frustration boiling over. Why does he keep calling him my boyfriend instead of his cousin? Or better yet, use

    BETTY“Mommy!” Grace’s tiny voice echoes down the hallway as she lets go of Nathaniel’s hand and runs straight toward me.I mask the absolute fury radiating through every inch of my body, and I force a bright smile, dropping to my knees, to catch her as she launches into my arms.The sweet, innocent smell of her hair and skin makes me forget everything that has happened in the last forty-eight hours. Grace still has that lingering baby scent, even at seven years old. And once she is in my arms, it takes every ounce of my strength not to just hold onto her forever.Realizing I am squeezing a little too tightly, she squirms, and I reluctantly let her pull back.“Where were you yesterday?” she asks, furrowing her thick eyebrows and crossing her arms over her chest dramatically. “Grandma Harriette said she tried to reach you, but she couldn’t.”I force a soft chuckle, cupping her cheek, and dart my eyes up to Nathaniel. He is staring down at me, giving me a sharp, silent warning. Don’t te

    NATHANIELMy neck aches. It’s a sharp, rigid pain that shoots straight down my spine the moment I open my eyes.Bright morning light cascades through the floral curtains, washing the entire room in a soft, innocent pink and purple.I blink twice, sitting up, rubbing the back of my neck, and when my vision clears, I am met with the most beautiful green eyes.Grace is seated at the edge of her bed, her tiny hands clutching a stuffed dolphin, staring at me in complete silence.How long has she been sitting there?I straighten in the tiny, uncomfortable chair, and desperately search my brain for the right words to start this conversation.But before I can, she throws the stuffed animal onto the carpet and launches herself off the mattress, jumping straight into my arms.My body goes rigid, and I freeze, completely unused to being touched with such pure, unfiltered affection. But then, my heart bursts with a feeling I can't even begin to explain.I wrap my arms tightly around her small fra

    BETTYBeep. Beep. Beep.The steady, mechanical rhythm of the heart monitor is the only thing tethering me to sanity.The nurse has called it transient wakefulness. A polite medical term for Rhys’s brain fighting its way through layers of trauma and heavy narcotics.I drag a heavy velvet armchair directly to the edge of his mattress. I don’t care about sleep. I don’t care about eating. I am not leaving this spot.Harriette had made sure the room felt like a luxury suite, not a hospital.Harriette! A sharp spike of guilt pierces my chest. I had walked right past her in the foyer like she was a ghost. Didn’t even stop to say hi.I need to apologize like right this second. But the second I look back at Rhys’s bruised, broken face, I can’t bring myself to move.I reach out, wrapping both of my hands around his cold fingers, and I squeeze gently, pressing my lips to his knuckles.A low, scratchy groan breaks the silence. I jolt upright.Then a weak tremor passes through his fingers, squeezi

    NATHANIEL“You and I need to talk.” The words tear out of me the second she steps inside the house, my voice impatient, already threaded with the frustration that’s been coiling in my chest all day.I don’t give her time to react. My hand closes around her wrist, and I pull her back outside, toward
