Chapter 175

Ethan’s POV

The only thing on my mind right now was Cynthia.

Just to make love to Cynthia.

Every hurt, every betrayal — the sting of Grace’s lies, the venom of Anna’s schemes, drowned beneath the tidal wave of desire crashing through me.

I needed her. Needed to lose myself in her, to feel her body against mine, to remind us both that something between us was still real, still ours.

I guided her into the bathroom, the steam curling around us like a veil. She stood before me in just

    Chapter 276Cynthia's POVHow could I possibly explain to my eleven-year-old son that I had no idea where his father was?That the last time I'd seen Ethan, he'd been beaten, barely able to stand?That I'd left him in a warehouse with people who wanted him dead?I couldn't.So I did what any mother would do when faced with an impossible situation.I lied.I pulled Amber close, holding him against my chest, feeling his small body trembling with fear and confusion."Daddy's going to be home soon," I said, my voice surprisingly steady despite the lies. "He just... he had to take care of some things. But he'll be back. I promise."Amber pulled back slightly, his tear-stained face looking up at me with those intelligent, skeptical eyes that were so much like mine."Where is he now?" he asked."At the Walker mansion," I said quickly. "Taking care of some business things. You know how your daddy gets with work.""Can we go see him?" Amber asked."Soon," I said, smoothing his hair back. "But

    Chapter 275Cynthia's POVAbout twenty minutes passed.Twenty agonizing, endless minutes.The tactical team surrounded the warehouse, weapons raised, calling out commands, demanding surrender.But there was no response, no movement inside, no sound.Nothing.Detective Susan's voice came over the radio again, sharp and decisive."We're going in. All units, breach on my mark."I watched, my hands pressed against the car window, my breath fogging the glass, as the officers moved in synchronized formation toward the warehouse entrance."Three... two... one... breach."The door burst open.Officers flooded inside, their flashlights cutting through the darkness, their voices echoing through the vast space."Clear!""Clear!""No movement!""Building is empty!"The words hit me like a physical blow.Empty."No," I whispered.Nathaniel's hand gripped my shoulder tightly."Stay here," he said firmly.But I was already moving out of the car.Already running toward the warehouse."Cynthia, wait…"

    Chapter 274Cynthia's POVI found Miguel and Carmen standing near one of the police cars, looking small and overwhelmed by everything happening around them.They'd just given their statements, and an officer was explaining what would happen next — follow-up interviews, possible court testimony if it came to that.I approached them, my chest tight with gratitude."Miguel. Carmen," I said quietly.They turned, and Carmen's face immediately softened."Cynthia," she said warmly. "¿Estás bien?"Are you okay?"Yes," I said. "Thanks to you. Both of you. I wouldn't be here if you hadn't helped me."Miguel shifted uncomfortably, clearly still processing everything that had happened."I'm sorry," he said gruffly. "For not believing you at first. For thinking you were…""It's okay," I interrupted gently. "You didn't know me. And I know how it must have looked."I took a breath."But I want to keep my promise," I continued. "About the car. I told you I'd give you one, and I meant it."Miguel open

    Chapter 273Cynthia's POVThe police arrived within minutes — two patrol cars with sirens blaring, officers jumping out before the vehicles had even fully stopped.They approached cautiously, their expressions a mixture of relief and professional concern."Cynthia Cynclair?" one of them asked, though it was clear from the crowd still filming and shouting that they already knew who I was."Yes," I said, my voice hoarse. "That's me.""We need to get you to the station," the officer said gently. "For your statement. And to get you checked out medically.""I don't need medical attention," I said immediately. "I need to report a kidnapping. Ethan Walker — my husband — he's still being held. By Grace Walker and her son Pascal. They're in a warehouse about four hours outside the city, near…""Ma'am," the officer interrupted, holding up a hand. "We'll get all of that at the station. Right now, let's get you somewhere safe."I nodded, my hands still shaking.Miguel and Carmen stood nearby, loo

    Chapter 272 Cynthia's POVIf anyone ever asked me if I believed in miracles, I would tell them yes.Absolutely, without question, yes.Because what happened in those few seconds defied every law of physics and probability I'd ever learned.One minute we were driving.The next, we were flying.The truck left the ground — actually left the ground — spinning through the air like a toy tossed by an angry child.Time stretched impossibly thin.I saw the pavement below us.Saw the blue sky above.Saw Miguel's hands frozen on the steering wheel.Saw Carmen's face, twisted in terror.And I thought, with absolute certainty, This is it.This is how I die.Not in the warehouse.Not at Grace's hands.But here, on a Missford street, so close to home I could probably walk there.The truck completed its rotation — one full, impossible flip — and slammed back down onto the road.Right side up.The impact was brutal.Metal shrieked. Glass shattered. The entire vehicle shuddered violently, the frame g

    Chapter 271 Cynthia's POVI saw the sign WELCOME TO MISSFORD just as soon as I was about to complain to Miguel about how long we have spent on the road.Relief crashed through me so powerfully I actually started crying.We'd made it.After everything — the kidnapping, the warehouse, the running, the hiding, the broken-down truck, the police checkpoint — we'd actually made it."Missford," I whispered, pressing my hand against the window like I could reach through the glass and touch the sign. "We're here. We're actually here."Carmen turned in her seat to look at me, a gentle smile on her weathered face."Sí, mija," she said softly. "Ya llegamos."Yes, my daughter. We've arrived.Miguel grunted, his eyes still fixed on the road, but I could see the tension in his shoulders easing slightly.Even he seemed relieved to have reached our destination.As we crossed into the city limits, the landscape began to change.The empty fields and dirt roads gave way to pavement, buildings, traffic l
