"What the fuck are you doing here?" Emily said, shoving Stella aside as she pushed her way into the mansion.

The moment she stepped into the living room, she froze.

Richard was sitting on the couch, shirtless, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. A bowl of popcorn sat on the coffee table alongside a spread of snacks, two glasses of champagne, and a bottle of orange juice. The whole scene looked cozy, like something out of a life Emily used to believe was hers.

    "What the fuck are you doing here?" Emily said, shoving Stella aside as she pushed her way into the mansion. The moment she stepped into the living room, she froze. Richard was sitting on the couch, shirtless, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. A bowl of popcorn sat on the coffee table alongside a spread of snacks, two glasses of champagne, and a bottle of orange juice. The whole scene looked cozy, like something out of a life Emily used to believe was hers. Richard's face went pale the moment he saw her standing in the doorway. Shock washed over him, his mouth falling open, no words coming out. Behind Emily, Captain Miller and Nana stood frozen in the entryway, taking in the scene. "Explain," Emily said, her voice deadly calm in a way that was somehow more terrifying than if she'd screamed. "Now." Richard scrambled up from the couch and immediately dropped to his knees in front of her, his hands clasped together like he was praying. "Emily, please, I, Stella seduced me," he

    Nana guided Emily to the couch, sitting her down gently, rubbing slow circles on her back."Breathe, Emily," Nana said softly, her own voice trembling with worry. "Just breathe for me.""I can't," Emily sobbed, her whole body curling in on itself. "Nana, I can't, I keep seeing her. In that trunk. Her face was so still. What if she can't breathe in there? What if he's already,""Don't," Nana said firmly, though tears were welling in her own eyes now. "Don't you dare finish that sentence. Jems is strong. She's a fighter. You raised a fighter.""What if being a fighter isn't enough?" Emily cried, burying her face in her hands. "What if it doesn't matter how strong she is against a man like that?"Nana pulled her into a tight embrace, rocking her gently the way she used to when Emily was a little girl."Cry it out," Nana whispered. "Let it out, baby. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."But nothing helped. Emily's sobs only grew louder, more desperate, her whole body shaking violently

    It was six thirty in the morning when Emily's phone started ringing.She groaned, still half-buried in sleep, reaching blindly for the device on her nightstand. She'd barely slept, maybe two hours total, her mind replaying Miller's visit over and over, the training discussion, and the worry that had settled into her bones since the moment Jems left for France.She answered without looking at the caller ID."Hello?" she mumbled."Emily Dawson," a voice said, smooth and unhurried. "I hope I didn't wake you up."Emily's entire body went rigid.She knew that voice. She'd heard it once before in the hallway of the hospital, low and menacing, the kind of voice that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She would know it anywhere. She would know it in her nightmares.Don Emilio."Wh, what do you want?" she cried out, sitting bolt upright, her hand shaking so badly she nearly dropped the phone."Just wanted to let you know," he said, his tone almost pleasant, almost bored, "I won t

    Miller didn't go home that night.He drove straight back to the station, his hands still gripping the wheel the same way they had outside the Thompson house, "After everything, he succeeded in taking her," he said in a low voice.He couldn't go to the Dawson mansion, not tonight. It was already past one in the morning, and there was no version of this conversation that got easier by having it in the dark, half,asleep, with nothing concrete to offer them but bad news. He would go first thing in the morning. He would tell Richard first, God help him, he'd have to look that man in the eye and tell him his daughter was gone, and then the two of them would go to Emily together. She deserved better than a phone call. She deserved better than any of this, honestly, but that wasn't a luxury any of them had right now.The station was quiet when he walked in. His team, the handful of officers he'd pulled onto this specific thread of the investigation, were still at their desks. Their coffee had

    Captain Miller sat in his car outside the Thompson house, engine off, staring at the lit windows for a moment.Before going into their house, he remembered Derick, because he needed to let Derick know.He pulled out his phone and dialed Derick.It rang twice before Derick picked up."Miller? What's going on?""I need to tell you something," Miller said. "And I need you to stay calm when I do."A pause. "What happened?""It's Jems. She was taken. Don Emilio's men attacked the estate in France. Christopher and Ethan are both in the hospital with gunshot wounds. She's gone, Derick.""What?? How?? How did they even find her??""She went to France in disguise. Her and Ethan and Christopher, living under new identities. But somehow the address was leaked and they went straight to her. I know you're no longer connected to this case officially, but I felt like you needed to know."The line went quiet for a moment.Then Derick said, "How many hours has it been?""Six hours and twenty-five minu

    Ethan had fought until his body simply refused to cooperate anymore. Even with a bullet in his arm, even pinned to the floor by men twice his size, he'd kept fighting, kept reaching for Jems, kept screaming her name. But the blood loss had been relentless, draining his strength with every passing second until his vision darkened and his body went limp against his will.Christopher had been worse. Already compromised from his previous injuries, the bullet to his thigh had been devastating. He'd dragged himself halfway up the staircase before his body gave out completely, leaving a trail of blood on the marble steps behind him.When backup finally arrived, French police units responding to Captain Miller's frantic calls, sirens wailing as they flooded the estate, they found the place devastated. Windows shattered. Doors hanging off hinges. Blood on the floors, the walls, the stairs. The officers who'd been stationed around the perimeter lay wounded, some dead.And Don Emilio's men were

    Jessica woke up the next morning and refused to open her eyes. She kept them closed tightly, praying desperately that it had all been a bad dream. Please, God. Please let it be a nightmare. Please.But when she finally opened her eyes, it was there: the letter, crumpled on the nightstand where she’

    FLASHBACK, 22 YEARS AGOThe basement apartment was dim and cramped. Water stains marked the low ceiling, and the single window near the top of the wall barely let in any light. The walls were cracked and peeling, and there was a damp smell that never quite went away, no matter how much Jessica clea

    "Jems, come on! What's taking you so long?" Emily shouted from downstairs."Coming, Mum!" Jems yelled as she opened the door of her room and ran down the stairs. She was wearing a white Chanel crop top paired with high-waisted light blue jeans and white Balenciaga sneakers. Her hair was pulled back

    Downtown, in a shabby hotel where Richard had become a regular customer, a woman moaned beneath him."Babe... please be gentle," she gasped, tugging on Richard's hair.But Richard kept thrusting harder and harder, and she moaned louder until he finally released and slumped on top of her, both of th
