Author POV

The door to an unfinished apartment burst open with a crack that echoed down the bare hallway.

Flora was shoved inside. Hard.

"Ouch!" Flora screamed in agony when her hair caught on a piece of exposed iron rod jutting from the doorframe. The metal tangled in her strands and ripped a few out by the root. Tears sprang to her eyes.

"Why the fuck did you drag me here with all my things, Liana!" Flora shouted, yanking her hair free. She untangled it with shaking fingers, strands coming lo

    Kayla Two weeks later.I was given a month off work. A full month to recuperate and get myself back. Back to breathing without pain. Back to walking without limping. Back to being Kayla, not “the girl who survived.”Riley had been sorting things out for me all this while. Bills, calls, press releases, the rumors. She handled everything so I didn’t have to.I heard the news too. The secret. Everything I didn’t get to know before.Flora. Or whatever name she’d been using that week. She was my ex-husband’s sister. Jaden never told me he had a sister. Not once in two years of marriage. All those years I thought he was an only son. I’d only seen his parents twice. The first time was at our wedding ceremony, where his mother cried more than I did. The second time was at a charity event they invited us to,where I was first introduced to Ryder. Even then, his parents never associated themselves with me. I tried. God knows I tried to be upright. Perfect. The daughter-in-law they could brag a

    Author POVLiana stared at the scattered money on the floor of the unfinished apartment. The bills looked pathetic now. Worthless. Seven million naira and Flora had stepped over it like it was dust.Her chest rose and fell too fast. Her breath came in short, sharp gasps. She kicked the concrete block again, then again, until her designer heel snapped off. Pain shot up her ankle but she didn’t care. She didn’t feel it. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" The word tore out of her throat, raw and desperate.Flora knew. Flora knew about Jaden. Flora knew about the pills. Flora knew Liana was the one who told her brother where Kayla would be that night. Flora knew Liana wanted her sister dead.And now Flora was walking away. Free. With all the information Ryder Brooks would pay in blood to have.Liana’s hands shook as she dug into her designer bag. Her fingers fumbled past lipstick, keys, and a compact mirror. She found her phone. The screen was cracked from when she’d thrown it against the wall earlier.

Tears sprang to her eyes."Why the fuck did you drag me here with all my things, Liana!" Flora shouted, yanking her hair free. She untangled it with shaking fingers, strands coming loose around her face. Liana closed the door behind them. The sound was heavy. Final. She leaned against it and crossed her arms."Now listen, and listen very carefully, Flora….or whatever name you're using this week. I don't want you spilling my name in whatever you and your brother did to Kayla. Because you both didn't do it properly."Flora flinched. She turned slowly, eyes narrowing. "Am I dreaming, or is this really an eighteen-year-old girl talking to me with zero respect?"Liana let out a

    Ryder POV The next morning. I shifted on the hard hospital chair as I finally drifted awake. My neck cracked. My back ached. My hands were still crossed with Kayla’s on top of the thin blanket. I hadn’t let go all night. I sat upright, wincing at the stiffness in my spine, and looked at her. She still winced in her sleep and turned slightly each time the nurses adjusted her IV or checked her vitals. Every small movement sent pain across her face. My heart ached all over again when I saw her. Her face was swollen. Bruised. Black and purple bloomed under her eyes and along her jaw. It wasn’t Kayla. Not the Kayla I knew. This woman looked fragile, broken, like glass that had been dropped and glued back together. It was all my fault. It was all my fault she had to go through this. All my fault she had to endure pain and agony. All my fault she flinched in her slumber, breathing fast, because she was trapped in a terrible nightmare I couldn’t pull her out of. All of this because I

    Author POVWhen Hewitt paused, Ryder’s legs gave out.His breath seized in his chest like someone had wrapped barbed wire around his ribs and pulled tight. For one horrible second the whole hospital hallway tilted. The fluorescent lights above him buzzed louder. The smell of antiseptic burned his nose.He stumbled. His hand shot out and gripped the edge of a plastic chair bolted to the floor. The chair screeched against the linoleum, the sound cutting through the silence.Doctor Hewitt stopped mid-sentence when he saw Ryder’s face.. The way his jaw locked. The way his eyes went glassy but refused to blink. The way his whole body was holding itself together by sheer force of will.Hewitt’s voice cracked like the words themselves could shatter Ryder into a million pieces.“I don’t think you're man enough right now, Mr. Brooks.” He dragged the words out slowly, like he was pulling a cigar between his teeth. His tone was clinical, but his eyes were tired. Old. “I know you’re scared. But y

    Author POV The whole place reeked of rust and damp concrete the second the door was wrenched open. Jaden’s head snapped up. The metal rod was still in his hand, frozen mid-air. Kayla’s face was hidden behind her disheveled hair. Her body sat slumped in the chair, almost lifeless. Rope burns darkened her wrists. Blood had dried at the corner of her mouth. “Kayla…” The name tore out of the man’s throat like a prayer at once. “You fucking bastard,” he growled when he saw her state. His eyes burned with fury. “Who the fuck are you?” Jaden demanded. The rod clattered to the floor with a heavy, metallic clang that echoed through the empty warehouse. The man didn’t answer. He walked in with huge, calculated steps. No wasted motion. He tossed his tailored suit jacket to the ground and rolled up his sleeves. The tendons in his forearms flexed. In a split second, Jaden was airborne. The man’s fist connected with his jaw and sent him flying. Jaden’s back slammed hard against
