The image hit Shannon harder than she expected because once upon a time that was her place.

Her spot beside him.

Her shoulder beneath his hand after long days.

For one dangerous second, pain rose sharply inside her chest again but this time Shannon forced it down.

She didn’t speak, didn’t react instead she simply walked forward calmly and headed directly toward the staircase.

The movement immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Evelyn stiffened visibly.

Mrs. Whitmore, seated nearby, frowned deep

    Sean’s ring was returned to him. It looked unchanged.He slid it onto his finger.“The transmitter activates with pressure beneath the crest,” the security man explained. “Press once to open the audio channel. Twice if you have confirmed both hostages are alive. Three times if you need immediate entry.”“And if the signal disappears?”“We move.”“No. If it disappears for less than two minutes, you wait.”Ethan handed him a second phone. “No tracking applications he can detect.”Sean placed it in his pocket.“I’ll be close,” Ethan added.“No, you’ll stay with the control team.”“Boss...”“If something happens to me...” He whispered.Ethan understood what Sean had not said. If Sean did not return, Ethan would become the person responsible for finishing what they had started.“I’ll stay on the signal,” Ethan said quietly.Sean collected his jacket.Shannon followed him into the hall.The others remained behind, giving them a few seconds that neither knew how to use.At the front door, sh

    Sean picked up the address Kennedy had written on the back of Shannon’s sketch. “Get Ethan in here,” he told one of the guards. “Now.”The man left immediately.Kennedy moved around the desk. “You are not walking into that warehouse alone.”“If Silas sees anyone with me, he’ll kill them.”“He may kill them regardless.”Sean looked at him. “Then I have forty four minutes to make sure he doesn’t.”Shannon caught his wrist before he could walk away. “You promised me.”The room fell quiet.Sean looked down at her fingers around him. “I promised I wouldn’t risk my life for the truth,” he said. “This isn’t about the truth anymore.”“It is still your life.”“And those are still my parents.”Pain crossed her face.Sean crouched in front of her. “I’m not abandoning them.”“I’m not asking you to.”“Then what are you asking?”“For you not to leave this house believing you have to die for them.”“I don’t.”“Silas told you to come alone.”“He told me what he wants to see.”Shannon searched his fac

    Shannon caught Sean’s wrist.He looked at her.She shook her head, not yet knowing what he was being asked to do, only knowing what he might offer.Sean turned his hand beneath hers and held it. “I want proof they’re alive,” he said.“Do you think I would have gone to the trouble of collecting them just to kill them before we spoke?”“I think you’re capable of anything. Put one of them on.”Silas looked towards the door. For a moment, he considered refusing. Then he pressed the small button beside his chair.Darius entered. “Bring his mother.”Sean heard the instruction. His grip tightened around Shannon’s fingers.She looked towards the hallway. A guard stood outside the sitting room. Shannon motioned to him, keeping her voice low. “Get my father. Now.”The man left immediately.Silas heard something move at Sean’s end. “You’re not alone.”“I’m inside a house. There are people in it.”“Then be careful what you tell them.”“Let me hear my mother.”The door opened again. Mrs. Vale ente

    Edward watched him approach. Each slow step made it harder to keep his wife behind him. “Whatever you think I did,” Edward said, “she did not give Sean the address.”Silas stopped. “There it is.”Edward went silent.“You finally said something useful.”His wife looked at him.Silas’s smile returned, but without warmth. “Sean’s men searched the building shortly after your guards brought you to safety. You were the only person outside my organization who had been invited there.”“Sean already knew about the clinic.”“I am not speaking about the clinic.”Edward lowered his gaze. He had no answer.Silas waited another moment, allowing him time to search for one. Then he said, “Look at me.”Edward obeyed.“You know what is in store for you. Don’t insult us both by pretending you can talk your way out of it.”Mrs. Vale made a small sound.Edward felt her fingers slipping from his as she began to shake. He held on tighter.Silas looked down at their joined hands. “Now you want to protect som

    Downstairs, Harris’s phone lay beneath his outstretched hand. A message from one of Sean’s other team leaders had appeared on the lock screen. 'Any requirements for the afternoon shift?'There would be no reply.The men moved Edward and his wife through the hallway.Mrs. Vale saw Harris beside the entrance and stopped so abruptly that the man behind her nearly collided with her. “Oh God.”Edward followed her gaze.Harris had stood between them and the men who came to their house. He had brought them safely here.This morning, Edward had thanked him for a shirt and now he lay motionless a few feet from the front door.Mrs. Vale began crying.Darius moved into her line of sight. “Keep walking.”“He has a family,” she said.Darius did not answer.Edward pulled her gently towards him.Outside, a vehicle waited near the entrance.Edward searched the grounds. No guard at the gate, no movement beside the garage, no one coming.His wife leaned closer. “Sean will know,” she whispered.Edward l

    When Sean returned to the study, Kennedy lowered his phone. “What did you say?”“That my father cheated you, you went after what belonged to you, and someone is trying very hard to make everyone forget the first part.”Shannon’s shoulders eased.Kennedy studied him. “You didn’t have to do that.”Sean slipped his phone into his pocket. “I wasn’t going to let them use my silence against you.”“Edward is still your father.”“Yes. That doesn’t make the story they’re telling true.”Shannon reached for his hand when he came beside her. “Thank you,” she whispered.He squeezed her fingers.Not long after, on the laptop the broadcast changed. Sean’s photograph appeared beside Kennedy’s.SEAN VALE DEFENDS KENNEDY MILES: ‘MY FATHER’S CRIMES BROUGHT THE COMPANY DOWN.’Kennedy read it without speaking. Then his gaze shifted towards Sean.There had been a time when he would have searched those words for an ulterior motive. This morning, he simply said, “Thank you.”Silas watched the statement appea

    The hospital discharged them the next day.Shannon didn’t know whether that was fate or cruelty.She stood just outside the building, her fingers gripping the thin discharge papers in her hand as the sunlight hit her face. Too bright. Like the world hadn’t just ended for her.A few steps ahead Rowa

    Shannon’s knees weakened beneath her. Three months of silence. Three months of absence. Three months where she wasn’t there. Her breathing grew uneven. Three months where someone else was. Her gaze slowly shifted back to Rowan. And this time she understood. Rowan watched her, something sharp

    Rowan sat on the bed, his arm wrapped loosely around Evelyn.Evelyn stood close, too close, and Rowan leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek like it was the most natural thing in the world.Like he had done it a hundred times.Like it belonged there.“Stop!”The word tore out of Shannon befor

    The first thing Shannon felt was the weight, like her entire body had been dragged beneath something heavy and invisible, pressing her down into a darkness that refused to let her rise.Then came the sound, a slow, steady beep... beep... beep...It echoed from far away at first, distant and unreal,
