CHAPTER 17: A Name on an Envelope
Date de publication:
2026-05-20 15:53:58Amber's POV
My hands did not shake.
I was surprised by that. After everything the last seventy-two hours had delivered, I would have expected my hands to shake holding an envelope my dead father had addressed to me with those words on the back.
But they were completely steady.

TORN BETWEEN THE CEO AND HIS BIKER TWIN CHAPTER 24: My Father's Other Girl
Amber's POVIsla opened the door before I knocked.She had changed since this morning. Traded the careful composure for something less constructed. Dark hair loose. A sweater that looked like it had traveled across the Atlantic in a carry-on. The deliberate presentation of someone who had decided to stop performing.I respected that immediately."Come in," she said.I came in alone. Kade had dropped me at the entrance without being asked to, which was becoming a pattern I appreciated more than I had language for yet.The room was a standard hotel room made slightly personal by small things. A paperback on the nightstand. A London transport card on the desk. A photograph propped against the lamp that I had not looked at directly yet.We sat across from each other. The same configuration as this morning, except something had shifted in the air between us. The legal positioning had receded. What was left was just two women in a hotel roo
TORN BETWEEN THE CEO AND HIS BIKER TWIN CHAPTER 23: Where the Guilty Run
Amber's POVI read Reyes's message twice.Then I excused myself and stepped into the corridor where Kade was waiting. I held the phone out without speaking.He read it. His expression did not change, but something behind his eyes did."The Sinclair Building," he said."My father's building," I said. "They were found in my father's building."Not Wolfe's Financial District office. Not some private airfield outside the city. Not an anonymous hotel or a shell company property or any of the carefully constructed hiding places a man with Wolfe's resources should have been able to disappear into.My father's building."Reyes wants us there," I said.Kade looked at the closed door behind me. "Isla.""I know." I turned back to the door. Knocked once and opened it. Isla was sitting exactly where I had left her, hands folded in her lap, my father's eyes watching me with a patience that felt familiar in a way that hurt.
TORN BETWEEN THE CEO AND HIS BIKER TWIN CHAPTER 22: Blood I Never Knew
Amber's POVI sat on the edge of my hotel bed and read Thomas Greer's message three times.I had checked into a small hotel on the Upper East Side two days ago. Not the penthouse. Not Kade's building. Somewhere that belonged to neither world I had been living in, somewhere with a plain white ceiling I could stare at when everything got too heavy to hold upright.The message was precise and devastating in the way that legal language always managed to be.A secondary claimant has filed against the Richard Sinclair estate asserting biological relationship. DNA evidence submitted alongside the filing. The probate judge has issued a temporary hold pending verification. I am sorry, Amber. Call me.I set the phone face down on the bed.A second child.My father had another child.I sat with that for a full minute. Not processing it exactly. Just letting it exist in the room with me before I decided what to do with it.My father. The man who had run five miles every morning and never missed m
TORN BETWEEN THE CEO AND HIS BIKER TWIN CHAPTER 21: The Last Move
Amber's POVI was already moving before the phone left my ear.Kade matched my pace without asking. Three steps ahead, he had his own phone out, already dialing, already deploying whatever piece of his network applied to this particular emergency."My lawyer," he said into the phone. "The Sinclair trust. I need an emergency freeze on all outgoing transfers. Right now. Authorization code delta seven." A pause. "I do not care what time it is. Do it."We reached the Range Rover. He unlocked it without breaking stride.Inside, the engine was running before my door closed."Can your lawyer freeze it?" I asked."He can file an emergency motion. Whether it moves fast enough depends on which judge picks it up." He pulled into traffic with controlled aggression. "Reyes is faster."I was already calling her.She answered on the second ring."Wolfe is moving the Sinclair trust assets," I said without preamble. "Right now. From his building in the Financial District. Adrian just called me."A bea
TORN BETWEEN THE CEO AND HIS BIKER TWIN CHAPTER 20: The Woman With Clean Hands
Amber's POVKade had the phone out of my hand before I finished the sentence.Not taking it from me. Just steadying it because my grip had gone unreliable, and he saw it before I did. He pressed it back to his ear and said something to Reyes in a low voice while his other hand found my elbow and held it with the firm, grounding pressure of someone making sure a person stays upright.I let him.Just for a moment.The conference room had gone very quiet around us. Gerald is sitting with his hands folded on the table, staring at nothing. My uncle is looking at the floor. The two board members exchanged a glance that said they understood they were witnessing something that had moved beyond their jurisdict
TORN BETWEEN THE CEO AND HIS BIKER TWIN CHAPTER 19: The Man Who Never Left
Amber's POVI looked at the screen for three full seconds.My uncle Robert is moving through the Blackwell Industries lobby like a man with somewhere important to be. No handcuffs. No federal escort. Just Robert Sinclair in his gray suit with his silver hair and his father's eyes walking across marble floors that had nothing to do with him.I turned to Kade.His face told me he was already three steps ahead of his own reaction, already calculating, already moving from shock to response with the speed I had come to understand was simply how he functioned under pressure."Agent Reyes told me he was taken into custody at eleven fifteen," I said."She beli
