“Let go of my arm,” I said to Vadim as I tried to yank my hand away from him, but his grip tightened more.

We finally got home, the guards had doubled and everywhere was tense.

I hated this. Vadim stared at me like I spoke Spanish.

“What? We are home already. Not home, at least where you would torture me.” I said as I glared at him, my chest heaving.

“Yes, we are home. You should start getting used to it.” He growled, but something flickered in his eyes.

He stared at me, and I could

    SloaneRest would not arrive.I rested in the dark hearing Chases breathing nearby observing the digits, on the nightstand clock advancing at a painfully slow pace. 2:47 AM. 2:48 AM. 2:49 AM.Every minute seemed to stretch into an hour.Chase's arm rested over my waist, his warmth pressed against me at ease, in slumber. At the time my thoughts kept cycling through the same refrain that had plagued me since leaving my father’s home: "He will discover it. He will open the safe. He will realize you took something from him.”Fifty thousand dollars. I had taken fifty thousand dollars from the man resting calmly next to me, the man who had said he loved me who had allowed me into his home, his business and his life.I had returned that confidence by robbing him.My hand moved to my stomach—still flat, still revealing no hint of the secret developing within. Yet another fact I hadn't shared with him. Another silent deceit adding to the rest.How could I have informed him about the baby when

    CHASE"I just had to hold you." I pulled back a bit to observe her face. "Where were you going earlier? I asked Natalia."A brief shift flickered across her expression—so quick I almost missed it. "Shopping. Just picked up things.""Shopping." I studied her face looking for the deceit I felt lingering between us. All I saw was Sloane looking up at me with those eyes I had learned to recognize after months of being together. "What did you buy?""Nothing exciting. Just some of my things." She raised her hand to gently cup my cheek. "What’s with that expression on your face?""Like what?""As though you are trying to peer into my thoughts."Because I had to be. Because there was an emotion I couldn’t pinpoint and following all that happened with Kazmir and my father I wasn’t certain who I could trust anymore.This was Sloane. The lady to whom I had revealed my love. The lady I had promoted despite my father’s objections. The lady who stayed by my side when I was injured and helpless.I h

    CHASE…The papers lay strewn across my desk while I grabbed the phone. Evidence of my father's cruelty staring back at me in columns and fuzzy images. For an hour I had been staring at them trying to reconcile the man I knew—ruthless detached shrewd—with the monster these records revealed.Sex trafficking. Not. Guns or the usual illegal activities connected to our society. This was another issue altogether. Something that made me feel nauseous despite all I had witnessed.My brother knew about it. He had been capturing it on record. He died before he could take any action.I dialed my fathers number, each ring tightening the grip of anxiety coiling in my chest.He answered the call. "Chase. What was your question?""We need to talk about something." I had cautioned him. Threatened to distance myself from his family but this was before I found certain documents in my brother's files. I kept my voice calm even though anger was simmering beneath every word. "The files related to shipping

    SLOANEMy father set the bag down carefully as though it might explode. "Your husband. How is he holding up? I heard about the shooting. Such a heartbreaking incident."The abrupt shift in subject caught me off guard. "He’s fine. Improving.""Alright, alright. That's reassuring." He rubbed the nape of his neck, steering clear of my eyes. ". I still can't grasp why you remain with him, especially after what his family put you through."His voice carried a quality that made my skin prickle. "What do you mean?""Don't act naive around me, Sloane." His face grew stern. "You were abducted, snatched by his brother on the brink of being sold like— merchandise.. Then what? I had to give you to Chase Volkov as if you were a deal to ensure your survival. To keep all of us safe." His tone escalated. ". Now you're standing here acting the devoted spouse protecting the family that ruined your life?""That's not—it wasn't like that—""Wasn't that so?" He stepped forward, his hands tightening into f

    SLOANEThe bag sat on the car's passenger seat like an accusation. Crafted from canvas an ordinary gym bag anyone might own.. Inside it held fifty thousand dollars in cash that did not belong to me.I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles whitening. I had been sitting in this garage for ten minutes with the engine running, persuading myself that I could still perform a U-turn. Go back to the penthouse. Put the money back in the safe before Chase noticed it was gone.Yet I had already crossed the line. The moment I took it out of the safe. Place it into this bag. Departed in front of Natalia with an excuse, about heading out on a task—that's the moment I made up my mind.By this stage I just had no choice but to accept it.I put the car into gear. Navigated out of the garage blending into the evening flow of vehicles. My father’s apartment was thirty minutes away, in a neighborhood I used to know. Before Chase. Before the penthouse and its security. A life that increasingly f

    CHASE "There are things you don't know, " Kazmir said, his eyes suddenly sharp despite the scars on his face. "Your father was involved in affairs that would make your treachery look like an act of kindness. You want to know if he knew about me? Fine. He did. He backed it. He thought the group needed guidance and I was picked to provide it."The words should have shocked me, they should have hurt.. They just connected like puzzle pieces I had been avoiding for far too long." You really believed him? Believed that after getting rid of me he would let you manage everything?" I shook my head. "I thought you were smarter than that...""I believed I lacked any option. Your father clearly cautioned me that if you failed to act right, someone else would..." He leaned forward much as his restraints allowed. "He’s scheming, Chase. Something big.. Whatever it is, you're preventing it."I rose from the chair pulling it over the floor beneath me. Unintentionally my fist connected with Kazmir's
