ROOSEVELT’S POV

"Put my daughter down. Right now."

The words tore out of Zyran’s throat like a dangerous growl.

The whole world seemed to stand still. My heart crashed against my ribs.

"Your daughter?" Lorna shouted from Mateo’s shoulders. She tilted her head, looking around the crowded zoo. "Is your little girl here, Mr. Zyran? Where is she?"

Mateo frowned, his eyes narrowing at Zyran.

Panic drove me to act faster than I ever had. I stepped between the two tall men, completely blocking Zyran’s

    MINA’S POVMateo stared at me, he stood by my hospital bed, looking proud of himself, he thought he had me all figured out. He was a rich, foolish man. I looked at his expensive suit and the pity in his eyes, he feels he's the mastermind in this game, but he knew nothing about real love, he knew nothing about obsession. "Where is the flash drive, Mina?" Mateo asked. His voice was eager and impatient. "Tell me where you hid it so I will send my men to get it right now and can hand it to the police by tomorrow morning." I didn't answer."I am not giving it to the police," I whispered. My throat was dry, but my voice remained steady. Mateo frowned and took a step closer to the bed. "What are you talking about? You just said it is the key to his cell and It proves his entire empire is built on fraud." "It is leverage," I corrected him softly. "But Zyran is not going to jail, i will not let you lock him away." Mateo’s face turned red with sudden anger. "Are you crazy? He left you to

    MATEO’S POVThe heart monitor beeped in a slow, steady rhythm.I stood by the window of the room, looking out at the New York streets. "Water."The voice was incredibly weak, it sounded like dry leaves scraping against concrete.I turned around.Mina was awake, bandages were still wrapped around her cheek, but color was slowly returning to her pale face, she looked at me with hollow eyes.I walked over to the small table, poured a glass of water, and added a plastic straw, I held it near her cracked lips."Drink slowly," I said.Mina took a small sip and swallowed hard, wincing in pain, she let her head fall back against the pillow and stared at me."Who are you?" Mina whispered. Her voice was raspy and broken.Gosh, the doctor said it, she has temporary memory loss, and now she has forgotten all I said to her and doesn't even remember me."My name is Mateo Thompson," I said, pulling a chair closer to her bed and sitting down. "I am the CEO of Thompson Enterprises, I found you in an

    ROOSEVELT POV "These numbers are wrong, Nixie," I said, tapping my pen against the file on my desk.Nixie sighed heavily and dropped into the chair across from me, she was wearing a black blazer, but she had applied a thick layer of foundation over her left cheek, I could still see the faint, dark shadow of a bruise underneath."I know they are wrong, Rose," Nixie groaned, rubbing her temples. "The client is trying to cut the budget by thirty percent. Mr. Conti wants the luxury marble, but he wants to pay for cheap tile.""We do not use cheap tile," I said firmly. "This is Vance Architecture and we don't lower our standards just because a client is cheap.""I told him that," Nixie said, leaning forward. "But he is threatening to pull the contract, he said he will take his hotel project to another firm if we don't agree to his price by noon today."I leaned back in my chair and looked at my best friend. "Are you okay, Nixie?" I asked softly, changing the subject. "Your face still loo

    MATEO’S POV"Mr. Thompson?"I stood up quickly from the plastic chair in the waiting room. "How is she, Doctor?"The doctor sighed heavily and removed his glasses. "She is alive but she is in very bad shape, sir, she has severe malnutrition and frostbite, also she is likely to have temporary memory loss, so you may have to repeat anything you say hours later again.""Can I talk to her?" I asked, my voice tight."You can go into her room, but she cannot answer you," the doctor warned gently. "Her body went into extreme shock from the freezing cold and the trauma of living on the streets, her muscles are completely stiff and she cannot move well, and she cannot speak a word right now.""Will she survive?" I asked, glancing down the hallway."Yes because you brought her here just in time," the doctor responded with a nod. "Do you know her name, sir? We need to contact her family.""She has no family," I said coldly. "I will pay all her medical bills, put her in your best private VIP suit

    MATEO’S POV"Are the contracts for the Hudson project finalized, Leo?" I asked, my voice cutting through the wind."Yes, Mr. Thompson, the legal team sent them over an hour ago," Leo said in my earpiece."Good, have them printed and on my desk by eight tomorrow morning, I want to review every single clause before the board meeting.""Sir, it is almost midnight, you are still working?""Money doesn't sleep, Leo neither do I.""It has been two weeks, Mr. Thompson, you haven't taken a single day off since we landed in New York and you are running on coffee and three hours of sleep.""I didn't move my entire life across the ocean to take a vacation, I came here to build an empire.""I know, sir but you are pushing yourself too hard, you need to rest, the company will not collapse if you take one evening to breathe.""I will rest when Thompson Enterprises owns this city but until then, we work.""Is this about the business, sir? Or is this still about her?""Do not mention her name, Leo."

    NIXIE’S POVI stared at the ceiling, watching the shadows move across. My heart felt heavy, pounding against my bruised ribs.How did he know? My mind raced as I clutched the phone to my chest, how could he possibly know that I told Zyran to call off the guards?I pulled the phone out from under my pillow, my hands shook so much I could barely unlock the screen, I read the second text message that appeared beneath his first one.“Those goons in black suits kicked my motel door right off the hinges, Nixie, they had me pinned to the dirty carpet, ready to drag me to the airport, until the leader's phone rang, so he looked down at me with disgust and said that my ex-wife begged for my pathetic life, telling me I was lucky you still cared.”A hot tear slipped down my swollen cheek, stinging the fresh cut on my lip.I shouldn’t go, I should block his number and lock my doors, I should let him rot in whatever cheap motel he was hiding in. My mind screamed at me to be smart, to protect the b
