I leaned back into the seat, wrapping my wool coat a little tighter around my shoulders. Every few miles, I turned my head to glance at Caspian.

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT: GATHERING AT THE TABLESerena’s POVThe aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm buttered croissants drifted up the grand staircase, coaxing me out of the plush sanctuary of our bedroom.I smoothed down the front of my sweater, sliding my hands into the pockets of my silk trousers as I walked down the steps. The morning sun poured through the soaring arched windows, painting the marble floors in long streaks of warm, golden light.For the first time in forever the estate didn't feel like a sprawling, empty museum dedicated to silent grief. It felt alive.When I stepped into the sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the formal gardens, I stopped in my tracks, a sweet, overwhelming wave of warmth expanding in my chest.Sitting at the oval marble table was my family.Lucas was buried behind his phone, lazily buttering a slice of sourdough toast while sipping orange juice. Across from him sat Bianca, dressed in an oversized knit sweater she had borrowed f

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN: SANCTUARY AND SHADOWSBianca’s POVThe morning light filtering through the sheer silk drapes of the guest suite was soft, warm, and entirely strange from what I was used to. I never liked a bright room.I blinked my eyes open slowly, staring up at the intricate crown molding of the high ceiling. The mattress beneath me was impossibly plush, swallowed in hcotton that felt nothing like the thin, sagging cots of the shelters, the worn leather of cheap motel beds, or the cold concrete floors I had known for the last ten years.For a second, panic flared in my chest. The instinctual, survivalist fear that I was in a trap. But then the soft, familiar scent of lavender and fresh linen washed over me, and the reality of where I was settled heavily into my bones.I was at the Laurent estate.After the chaotic storm outside my sister's apartment, Serena had put her hands on her hips, looked me dead in the eye with a stubborn, unyielding expression she got wh

Every few miles, I turned my head to glance at Caspian. He drove with one hand casually holding the steering wheel while his other rested comfortably over mine on the center console, his long fingers casually tracing slow patterns over my knuckles. His face was relaxed, but there was an unmistakable weight behind his eyes. "Caspian," I finally broke the silence, my voice soft. "Where are we going?"A small smile touched the corner of his lips. He didn't turn his head, merely keeping his eyes on the road ahead. "You'll see soon, sweetheart."I let out a sigh, shaking my head. "You really love keeping me in the dark lately, don't you? If this is another surprise garden, I should warn you I didn't bring my camera."A chuckle escap

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE: NEW HORIZONS CASPIAN'S POV The bathroom mirror reflected a man who had finally reclaimed his life.I stood in front of the marble vanity, leaning my hands against the sink, staring directly into my own reflection. The silk robe hung loosely around my shoulders. The sun was just rising. My phone sat on the vanity, its screen still glowing faintly from the call that had woken me twenty minutes ago.Chief Inspector Vance.The news had been short. The Swiss authorities had completed the paperwork overnight. Helena was no longer in a holding cell in Zurich; she had been brought back to American soil under heavy federal escort hours ago. She was currently being processed in a federal detention facility downtown, and her preliminary court hearing was set for exactly one week from today.One week.Seven days until my father’s murderer, the woman who had spent years tearing my family apart from the inside, stood before a judge to answer for her crimes.

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR:: RECLAIMING TOMORROWSERENA’S POV In the backseat, Bianca had her head leaned back against the headrest, staring quietly out the tinted window at the passing autumn trees. The sharp, defensive edge she had carried all morning had softened into a quiet stillness.Caspian kept one hand steady on the steering wheel while his other remained wrapped tightly around mine, his long fingers gently caressing my knuckles as if to reassure himself that I was still right beside him. Every time our eyes met in the quiet car, the heat in his dark gaze made my pulse flutter all over again.When we finally pulled up outside my apartment complex, Lucas was already waiting near the lobby with two heavy suitcases packed and sitting beside him."Took you guys long enough!" Lucas called out, rolling the suitcases toward the trunk as Caspian stepped out to help. "I was starting to think you two snuck off to a weekend resort without us!""Don't give him any ideas," Bianca

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE: UNSPOKEN COMPLICATIONSERENA’S POVThe silence inside the parked car was heavy and entirely removed from the bleak, high security walls rising just beyond the tinted glass.I leaned back against the plush leather seat, watching the distant security gates of the correctional facility through the windshield. Outside, the autumn wind rustled the barren trees bordering the visitors’ parking lot.Caspian sat in the driver's seat beside me. He had unbuttoned his coat, his long legs stretched out, one hand resting lazily on the gear shift while his eyes watched the main exit doors.We had been waiting for nearly forty minutes. Forty minutes for Bianca to finish saying whatever needed to be said to the man who had shaped the last few years of her life.I shifted in my seat, turning sideways to face Caspian.
