Lucy's POV

“Did you hear that?” I murmured, my voice creeping out of me and shocking me.

“It's definitely the old man. Who else would be in his house by this time?” Xandra asked.

I reasoned with her words. She was right. He had let us in, and his nurse friend was around.

“You're right. I'm paranoid,” I said, but the next crash sound shocked me to my bone. Even if I wanted to argue to the end of the world, I was sure there was something off.

“I think we should go help him. He's tripped on something,” Xandra said, got up from the bed, and headed for the door. I got up to join her when I heard it.

The old man's broken voice. He sounded like he was struggling with something. I quickened my pace and caught Xandra's hand just before she touched the door handle.

“I'm telling you there's no one in my house. You came here before, didn't you? Why the hell are you lot disturbing me?” the old man spoke.

Xandra and I were instantly glued to the spot. They're back. Those mad people were still looki

    Caleb’s POVHis hands were on my lips refusing to let go. His warmth pressed into my back.He was close — too close. I could smell that stupid cologne he wore. I hated that I remembered it.“Mmmhmmm—” I tried to mumble, but his hand stayed firm over my mouth. My phone vibrated on my other hand with Shane's voice on the speaker.Marco snatched the phone from my grip and whispered right against my ear, “Calm down, sweetheart. It’s just me.”My heart raced. “Give it back,” I tried to say, but it came out muffled.He answered the call. “Hey, Shane,” Marco said, his voice calm and lazy like he was sipping wine instead of breaking into my house.I was frozen like a board.“Where’s Caleb?” Shane’s voice came sharp through the speaker. “Why did the alarm go off?”“There’s no alarm,” Marco said smoothly, leaning his elbow on the armrest beside me. “Just a romantic night with my boyfriend.”I almost choked. I pushed his hand away. “What the hell are you—”He covered my mouth again, smirking lik

    Cole's POV“It doesn't,” I answered boldly.“Oh. Then I think we can move to the next part. Where you have Melissa tied up, she was begging for her life and you shot her. Then threw her into the water after you put some hair into her dress. And that makes me wonder. How did you ever get Shane's hair.”“You can't prove anything,” I spat and was about to hang up when he spoke.“I can. Stealing from a barber shop is smart work. But let's be real. Did you think not one person would notice.”My phone chimed and a message popped in. “That must be it. You can take the time to decide what you want to be before the end of four hours.”Then he hung up. I wanted to lash out but didn't. Instead, I clicked the message and saw pictures of me, a bit blurry but showed my body features taking some hair and shoving it into my pocket.“Fuck. The camera. How can I be so stupid!” I yelled.I scrolled to the next and saw a video. The coverage had a familiar car in front and I clicked the play button.The s

    Cole's POVDamn it! How could I have missed the signs! But I was sure I cleared up all the tracks.Those were the only words ringing in my head. Shane had been so bold to say that to me. Hitting the steering wheel repeatedly with my wrist, I screamed as loud as I could knowing no one but me could hear it.“Aaah!” I yelled, hitting the wheels continually until I stopped to catch my breath. The car before me stopped and the driver got down, asking with his hands and an angry face if I was crazy. I didn't put my window down because I knew I started it.I raised my hand, motioning the words sorry but the man didn't seem to let it go. He started walking closer to my car and I got sick of it. Once he got to the window, I let the car's window down and took out my gun. He got the message and stumbled backwards. “I'm sorry, man. I didn't know you were held up,” he said.He got back into his car and drove off. I started driving and called my father's number on the car's device connected to my p

    Cole's POVShit! I failed. The boss is not going to like this. I couldn't go back to the prison to finish the work myself.The news had carried Shane's recent catastrophe and his stock market kept dropping. A lot of people had a lot to say about it, mostly bad. That was regular American folks looking for someone to blame.It was titled the unfaithful husband killing his mistress on the internet and I couldn't have asked for something better.I gave up on thinking and headed back to my house. Something felt off when I parked in and went back to shut the gates.I got in and my father saw me. “Why are you grumpy?” He asked.“The boss wants me to kill Shane,” I said.“And?” He asked.“Dad, don't act like you don't know what I am saying. I already sent some people to kill him on the inside and make it look like an accident,” I explained.“He's still alive,” my father finished. “He's strong.”“We need to get rid of the Wilsons. All of them.”“Why?” He asked.“They know everything.”“That's

    Shane's POVI sat in my prison cell. I had been kept alone and it was pretty much fun. At least better than being packed with a lot of crazy folks. I must have been so happy when the door opened and a group of three men were shoved in.I ignored them and remained on my bed when I heard one cackle. “He does look fine. Do you think he'll do it?”“Who says he needs to think? He has no choice.”By now I was very attentive. This was my first time in prison and I wasn't taking my chances. I sat upright and then they smiled at me. It gave me the creeps and I started to look for a means of protection. Soon, they circled around me and I heard the security guard's voice. “Go easy on him. He's a rich one. And he's yet to get sentenced.”The laughter from the three men was ear shattering. I saw him lick his lips then blow a kiss and I understood what was going to happen.Unfortunately for them I was not the type to be pushed down easily. I got up and raised my hand. “Listen, guys. I want no issue

    Cole's POVI stood in front of the glass wall, looking at Shane sitting on the other side. He acted like he owned the world, and it made me mad. "Quit being so pitiful," I told him through the phone.Shane looked back at me with cold eyes. His face was smooth like he hadn't slept a hard day in his life. "Pride comes naturally when you're smart, confident, and wealthy," he said. His voice was calm and sure.I got madder hearing him talk like that. My chest felt tight. Shane kept speaking into the phone, looking right at me through the glass. "Even if I got replaced, I still have a lot of access to my company. You should think of a better way to piss me off, Cole."I felt anger bubble up inside me. "You're a foolish narcissist," I said into the phone, trying to hurt him.Shane smirked. His smile was mean but cool. "Better to be one than a foolish police officer who wasn't smart enough to know anyone could see you get rid of a body. And it was a living one."I felt like I'd been punched
