View MoreCHAPTER NINETY SIX I flag down a taxi and give him Mr. Dave’s address, my voice steady even as my mind races. Inside, my thoughts won’t slow. I need to go about all this the right way and make sure I’m claiming my hotel by getting the public on my side. My image has already been dragged through filth and lies. Power revealed too early is power wasted, and if I’m going to fight this war and win, I have to be smart, strategic and ruthless.” And I need to protect my family. They are the only leverage my enemies can use to tame me but I won’t give them that opportunity. I map moves in my head—legal angles, quiet allies, exits, leverage. By the time the taxi slows, the panic has been buried beneath resolve. “We’re here,” the driver says. I pay, step out, and instinct takes over. My eyes sweep the street. Parked cars. Reflections in windows. Lingering figures. Nothing screams danger—but danger doesn’t always announce itself anymore. Does it ? Only when I’m satisfied do
CHAPTER NINETY FIVE You all have finally won, I think bitterly. You’ve dragged the cruel Melissa out of hiding. And now I’m going to play dirty with all of you and I won’t hold back, never again. I turn toward the door, my fingers already grazing the handle when Jake’s voice cuts through the room, sharp and threatening. “If you walk out that door,” he says coldly, “say goodbye to your job. And remember how much you need it.” I stop. For a heartbeat, the air holds its breath. Then I turn back. I look at him—really look at him and something in me settles. Calm, unapologetic, and mean. “We’ll see who gets to keep a job,” I say, a slow smile curving my lips. And I walk out. I don’t bother closing the door behind me. The hallway feels different now. Quiet and unwelcoming. Whispers ripple as I pass, hushed voices colliding with the sound of my footsteps. Eyes follow me—some curious, some satisfied, some cruel. I keep my head high, even as something inside me shre
CHAPTER NINETY FOUR It’s a new day and a new week. I step into the hotel and feel it instantly. The air shifts strangely. Eyes follow me as I walk past the lobby. Conversations dip. Smiles stiffen. A few people look away too quickly, like they’ve been caught staring. Strange. Maybe I just look exceptionally good today, I think dryly. I keep walking. At the elevator, I press the button and step inside just as two staff members rush toward it. They’re almost in—until they see me. They stop. Exchange a look. And instead of stepping in, they stay back, watching as the doors slide shut in front of them. Okay… that’s weird. Very weird. My reflection stares back at me in the elevator, nothing out of order. Is there something on my clothes? A stain? A tear? Something I missed? The elevator dings. I step out, unease settling in my stomach. No. Something is off. I quicken my pace toward the staff room. Whatever this is, I need to see it for myself—befo
CHAPTER NIGHTY THREE MELISSA’S POV I pay off the taxi, juggling ice cream cup and a small bag of snacks as we step inside. “A perfect day for a tiny ice-cream date,” Nina says, nudging the door shut with her foot. I smile. “I’m just going to finish mine before I start prepping dinner.” Zaiden immediately declares war on my hand, his tiny fingers reaching, grabbing, and demanding my ice cream cone. “Easy, baby bear,” I laugh. “Just a little taste—” The doorbell rings. Nina and I freeze at the exact same time. “…Did we forget something in the taxi?” I ask, scanning the room like an answer might appear on the wall. The bell rings again. Longer and Insistent. Nina moves first. She walks to the door, peeks through the peephole—then turns back to me, her face drained of color. “Who is it?” I whisper. Instead of answering, she opens the door. And the air in the room changes. My eyes lift. Frederick. He stands there like a memory that refuses to stay buried—b
