~SERENA POV

The harsh static from the radio speaker suddenly burst back to life, cutting through the heavy silence of the cabin.

The guard’s voice sounded desperate, breathless, and terrified.

"Sir! Can you hear me? It's about Ryker!" the guard yelled over the storm noise. "He just abruptly canceled his three o'clock executive board meeting! He left the company’s building through the private underground garage with four armored SUVs. He is heading straight back to the house right now!"

    ~SERENA~The next day, the heavy sunlight of the Maldives beat down on the private deck of our villa, but I felt freezing cold.Throughout the entire day, my mind was a million miles away. I sat at the breakfast table, staring blankly down at my plate, pushing a piece of sliced fruit around with my fork without taking a single bite. Every time the wind rustled the palm fronds, every time a speedboat engine buzzed in the distance, my heart leaped into my throat, half-expecting to see Cassian, half-terrified that Ryker’s men had found him."Serena."I flinched, snapping my head up.Ryker was sitting across the table from me, leaning back in his chair with his dark eyes narrowed. He had a cup of black coffee in his hand, his gaze sharp and heavy, dissecting every micro-expression on my face."You've barely touched your food at all," Ryker said, his voice smooth, low, and laced with that dangerous, suffocating control. "And you haven't said two words since we sat here. What is going on i

    SERENA"Well, I didn't really catch their names," Chloe said, tilting her head thoughtfully as she tossed her handbag onto the chair. "Just a man and a woman. The man looked a bit like—"In the split second before Chloe began her description, I really really thought I was about to die. But suddenly---"Those would be my acquaintances," a calm, steady voice interrupted from the doorway.We all whipped our heads around.And to my surprise… Adam was strolling right into the villa, with his hands tucked casually into his pockets. He didn't even knock; he just walked in like he owned the place. He looked completely relaxed, but the look he flashed me in a fraction of a second was sharp as a razor.Ryker’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Adam. "Your acquaintances?""Yeah," Adam said smoothly, walking further into the room and stopping right beside me. He offered Ryker an easy, slightly arrogant shrug. "I mentioned to a few people back home that I was flying out to the Mald

    ~Serena pov~My heart felt like it was breaking right inside my chest but I kept standing there in the bright, fancy art gallery as I watched Cassian walking away. He was walking away, and clinging right to his arm was Helena. Helena. The same woman who was Ryker's mistress for years.I could not believe he actually came here. What was wrong with him? Was he truly crazy? He knew Ryker had people everywhere. He knew Ryker was trying to frame him and destroy his life. Why would he risk everything just to come to the Maldives? Just to find me?And the worst part, the part that made me feel sick and furious at the same time, was the sudden, stupid spark of joy that had jumped in my heart the very second I saw his face. I missed him so fucking much it hurt. Seeing him standing there, even in that stupid disguise, made every part of me want to run into his arms.But then I saw her. Helena. And I was stunned!Did he really bring Helena here with him? Was this some kind of sick joke? Was h

    ~SERENA~"Are you... are you fucking Serena?" Helena whispered, her voice laced with absolute shock.For a terrifying second, my mind went completely blank. I stared straight ahead through the windshield, watching the tropical trees blur past as I tore out of the South Marina parking lot. The truth was a loaded weapon, and Helena was holding it right against my chest. She wasn't a fool; she had put the pieces together with terrifying speed… the way I had been suspiciously trying to sneak into the gallery, the pure agony on my face when Serena turned away from me, and the unhinged rage that had just made me wrap my hands around her throat.But still.. I couldn’t admit it, I couldn’t reveal such a dangerous secret without at least trying to defend myself first."You're out of your mind, Helena," I finally managed to snap, my voice hard and sharp as I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned bone-white. "Keep your mouth shut about things you don't know.""Oh, please, spare me

    CASSIAN"As I warned you before, don't ever speak to me again, or else I’ll call the fucking cops and get a restraining order," Serena spat, her eyes blazing with a look of pure hatred that shattered my heart into a thousand sharp pieces.Just at that moment, the unfamiliar blonde lady with Serena came walking back down the hall. She smiled brightly when she saw us standing there."Oh, hey!" the blonde woman chirped, looking curious. "Are these your new friends, Serena? I'd love to meet them."Serena didn't even look at her friend. Her eyes stayed locked onto mine, filled with absolute poison. "They are not my friends."Helena completely ignored the tension as she stepped forward, extending a perfectly manicured hand toward the blonde woman. "Hi, I'm Helena. Cass and I are just visiting from—"I couldn't take it anymore at that point, I was already furious and blind with rage.So I grabbed Helena roughly by the elbow, yanking her back so hard she stumbled in her high heels."Hey!

    CASSIANThe next morning, I woke up before the sun even fully rose. For the first time in weeks, a spark of real excitement flared in my chest.Today was the day. Today, I was going to see Serena.I quickly got out of bed and started getting dressed. I needed a disguise, something that would help me blend in with the wealthy tourists but keep my face hidden from Ryker’s security. I chose a light grey linen jacket with a stylish hood that pulled low over my brow.Then I added a face cap and dark designer sunglasses for extra caution.Just as I was checking my reflection in the mirror, the door to my suite swung open.Helena strolled in, sipping from a cup of coffee. She looked me up and down, a highly amused smirk on her face."Well, don't you look sharp," she teased, leaning against the doorframe. "Are you really going to the gallery all by yourself, Cassian? Why the sudden interest in fine art?"I ignored her. I grabbed my watch from the nightstand and strapped it onto my wrist. "Min
