—Alec—

My fist curled tight on my thigh as my convoy tore through DC streets. The thought of losing Mama Emelda left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I kept checking the time again and again, as if staring at it could somehow hold the world still until I reached her.

Sweat pricked the back of my neck despite the AC blasting through the vents—anxiety had its own thermostat.

“Faster!” I barked.

The car sped forward, but to me, it crawled like molasses. Helpless, I searched for something to an

    —Nathaniel—The flight to D.C. was the longest I’d ever endured. Silence stretched, a cold reminder of what I'd lost.“A bottle of whiskey please,” I ordered the flight attendant with me.“Yes, sir.”She left and reappeared with an ice bucket and a tumbler.“Sir?” she asked.I nodded, and she filled the glass before lowering the bottle and stepping away.Yanking my tie, I picked up my drink and gulped half the glass—then everything. The sting burned down my spine, but not enough to erase the memories of her.Her weeping face haunted me, her words like a knife twisting in my side. “I believed you. Gave you my heart, my loyalty. But to you, it was just a game.”I fought back tears and dragged a hand through my hair, then again, unable to stop the restless motion.“Leave me,” I said to the flight attendant.She hurried out, and I pressed a fist to my mouth.My hands trembled as I connected to the jet’s Wi-Fi. The signal locked in almost instantly. Of course it did.I opened my contacts a

    —Amira—My heart bled with every step I took, my tears leaving a trail on the floor. I kept going until I was inside the elevator, grateful to find it as empty as the hallway.After a smooth ascent, the doors parted onto the familiar floor.I glanced at the pictures in my hand and stepped out, my heels clicking softly against the floor.A sense of unease settled inside me as I approached his office.“She needs to know her place. He’s off limits.” Grace’s words echoed in my head.Was he?Had I believed in a stupid fairytale?The doors parted before I could knock on them. Of course. How could I have forgotten he’d programmed the sensors to recognize me?I walked into the office and saw him seated behind his desk, a smile curving his lips. His cologne wrapped around me, but for the first time, I hated it.“The woman after my heart,” he called. “Why did it take you so long?”I held myself together as I stopped before his desk.“We need to talk.”He sat straighter. “Ok. About what?”“Every

    —Amira—“Get ready,” Mama said as I joined her in the living room. “We're going to Garrison to fix my phone.”“Yes Mama.” I nodded, only to bump into Oluchi in the hallway.“Where's Uncle Rivera? He said he'd brought something for him from London and would give it to me for breakfast.”Damnit.Nathaniel must've forgotten.Before I could pull up my phone, it vibrated with a text.‘One of my drivers is on his way to your house.’I had barely read the text when Nathaniel’s car pulled up in front of my house. The driver stepped out with a fancy tote bag which he handed to me on the terrace.“Who's that?” Mama asked from inside the house.“Nathaniel's driver,” I replied. “He brought a package.”Another text rocked my phone.‘I promised Oluchi a gift. The second box underneath is for Mama.’I looked inside the bag and there were two boxes— a Barbie doll and the other, the latest model of iPhone.A smile curved my lips as I headed inside.Oluchi squealed when she received her gift, and Mama

    —Amira—The moment the convoy pulled up at my house, I didn't wait for the security details or driver to open my door. I did it myself and raced toward the house.Footsteps echoed behind me— Nathaniel and his men.“Amira, slow down!” Nathaniel called.I couldn't—even if I wanted to. I had to get to grandma and Oluchi, and I needed to get to them fast.My heart pounded as ugly thoughts rippled through me.The front door was unlocked. I yanked it open and saw Mama and Oluchi eating in the dining room.They weren't in trouble. Just enjoying their breakfast.“Amira?” Mama called.They lowered their cutlery, eyes wide with confusion.“Mama! Oluchi!” I bolted and pulled them into my arms as waves of relief surged through me. “When did you get back?” Mama asked.I stepped back and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Behind me, Nathaniel and the men rushed in, also breathless.“Is that– Mr. Rivera?” Mama gasped, rising from her seat.“Good morning, Mrs. Nwosu,” Nathaniel greeted, e

    —Amira—Tears streamed down my face. The more I tried to stop them— the more they came spilling as my heart wrenched.Nathaniel pulled back and cupped my face, his gaze tender, brows creasing as they searched my gaze.“Is everything okay, baby?”I sniffled. “I missed you so much.”He kissed my forehead. “I missed you more, my love.”“Eloise left,” I murmured. ”She said she has an appointment in an hour.”“That's typical of her. Very business-minded,” he said.A smile passed between us.“Come.” He took my hand. “Dinner is ready.”He led us into the penthouse to find a three-course meal laid out on the dining table, its aroma filling the room. There was a bottle of champagne too.Nathaniel pulled out a chair. “Please, sit.”Lowering my bag on the table, I sat down, then watched him round the table and settle in his chair.Nathaniel signaled the housekeepers, and they stepped forward—serving us our food. To my surprise, I managed to eat more than three spoons of my food. A popping sou

    —Amira—I gazed out the window as Eloise's convoy eased through the streets of London.Moments later, we eased into the hospital— a tall, modern building with a spawning parking space.“Are you alright?” Eloise asked.I met her gaze and nodded. “Thank you for coming for me.”She smiled. “You're welcome.”My brows creased as something crossed my mind.“About the paternity test, don't we need Nathaniel's sample too?”“I've got you covered.”She reached into her handbag and came up with a transparent evidence sleeve. Inside it was a toothbrush. Black.My breath caught.“That's...”“Nathaniel’s,” Eloise replied. “From his suite in D.C. I had the domestic staff send it over last night.”I swallowed hard. “Is that enough?”“More than enough.” She tucked the sleeve inside her bag and angled her head toward the hospital. “Shall we?”Her security opened the door and we stepped out of the car. With my hand, I shielded my eyes from the sun as I took in the hospital.The building was large and mo
