The harsh glow of my phone screen felt like a physical burn against my eyes. I stared at the message until the words began to bleed together into meaningless black smears, but no matter how many times I blinked, the text remained unchanged.

Come alone, Amelia.

My chest constricted, suffocating and tight. I read it again, hoping my mind was playing tricks on me, but the next notification lit up the display like a countdown to execution.

If Damon comes with you, your mother dies.

My heart slammed

  • THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND    The Name That Broke Everything

    “Damon.”His name left my lips like a shattered prayer—soft, trembling, and weighed down by a truth I wasn't ready to bear.Yet, as the word lingered in the suffocating silence of the room, there was no doubt left in my mind. My mother had spoken it with a terror so raw it had cut right through the air.Damon.The man who had held my hand when my world was tearing at the seams. The man who had stayed awake through endless nights just to guard my door from unseen threats. The man who had gently kissed my forehead before I stepped into harm's way, looking into my eyes to tell me I mattered to him.The very same man my mother had just accused of taking my father’s life.Damon stood entirely motionless in the doorway. The faint sunlight streaming through the blinds cast long shadows across his tall frame. The color had drained completely from his face, leaving his sharp jawline tight and his dark eyes wide with shock.For several agonizing seconds, nobody breathed. The clock on the wall t

    The harsh glow of my phone screen felt like a physical burn against my eyes. I stared at the message until the words began to bleed together into meaningless black smears, but no matter how many times I blinked, the text remained unchanged.Come alone, Amelia.My chest constricted, suffocating and tight. I read it again, hoping my mind was playing tricks on me, but the next notification lit up the display like a countdown to execution.If Damon comes with you, your mother dies.My heart slammed against my ribs with a violence that made my hands tremble. Before I could catch my breath, a third and final message materialized across the glass.Bring the necklace.Slowly, agonizingly, I lowered the phone. The quiet inside the apartment was deafening, broken only by the sound of my own shallow breathing.Across the room, Damon was already watching me. He stood by the window, his towering silhouette framed by the late-afternoon shadows. He didn't need to ask if something was wrong; he could

  • THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND    The Woman in the Dark

    The gunshot echoed through the cavernous gloom of the warehouse, a sharp, deafening tear in the silence that sent shockwaves straight through my chest.I froze, the world outside contracting into a suffocating vacuum. For one terrifying second, sensory overload collapsed into total sensory deprivation; I couldn't hear a single thing except the high-pitched, furious ringing in my ears and the thudding pulse hammering against my ribs.“Damon!” My voice was barely a gasp, torn from my throat as darkness swallowed the industrial floor whole. I reached out blindly into the damp, shadowed expanse.His hand found mine instantly warm, calloused, and unyielding.“I'm here.” His voice was close. Too close.I scrambled toward the sound, my hands lunging forward until my fingers bunched into the heavy fabric of his jacket. “Are you hurt?”“No.”“Are you sure? Damon, tell me the truth!”“I'm sure, Amelia. I'm fine.”Before the relief could take root, another sharp report shattered the dark, the fl

  • THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND    The Warehouse

    The moment the word warehouse slipped past Damon’s lips, a cold, suffocating knot tied itself into the center of my stomach.“Your father has a private warehouse?” I asked, my voice barely carrying over the hum of the sports car’s engine as we hurried across the dimly lit parking lot.Damon nodded, his jaw set in a tight, unyielding line. “Several, actually.”“And you know where this specific one is?”“Yes.”“Then why haven't you ever mentioned it before now?”He unlocked the car, the headlights flashing amber against the pavement. “Because it's not exactly a place I visit for fun, Amelia.”I hurried around to the passenger side, refusing to lag behind. “Why?”He paused beside the door, his blue eyes catching the pale moonlight, dark and unreadable. “Because that’s where my father keeps things he doesn't want anyone asking questions about. High-value assets, off-the-books security files, legacy equipment. It’s a graveyard for things he wants buried.”I stared at him, my heart hammerin

    My hands went completely numb, the phone felt like an block of ice in my grip.Or Damon will die next.I stared at the screen, reading the single sentence over and over until the letters blurred into jagged lines. My heart hammered against my ribs, a chaotic, desperate rhythm. I prayed I had somehow misread it—that my mind was playing tricks on me in the dim light of the room.I hadn't.“Damon…” My voice was barely a breath, fragile and trembling.He was already standing over me, his broad frame casting a long shadow across the polished floor. The shift in his demeanor was instant—lethal, focused, completely locked in. “What did they say, Amelia?”I couldn't bring myself to speak the words aloud. Giving them breath felt like sealing his fate. I simply raised my shaking hands and passed him the phone.Damon’s dark eyes moved swiftly across the blue light of the screen. For two terrifying seconds, his face was completely expressionless, a marble mask of stillness. Then, his jaw clenched

  • THE CAPTAIN'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND    The Price of The Past

    I read the message again, my eyes burning into the harsh glow of the screen.Your father wasn't the victim, Amelia.My fingers went completely numb, the coldness spreading up my arms until my breath hitched in my chest. Before I could even process the words, the screen flickered, and another message appeared right below it.He was the reason all of this started.I stared at the letters until they blurred into dark, jagged shapes.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head fiercely. “No, this is wrong. This is a sickness.”Damon moved beside me, his tall frame blocking out the room's warm light. “What did they say, Amelia? Show me.”I didn't have the strength to argue. I shoved the phone into his hand. His dark eyes swept across the blue light of the screen, taking in the three short sentences. I watched the muscle in his jaw flex, tightening until it looked as hard as granite.“This is getting worse,” he ground out, his voice dropping an octave into something dark and lethal.“My father wasn'
