Ethan Ashford

I woke up to soft morning light filtering through the bedroom curtains.

For a moment, I just lay there, listening to Serena's quiet breathing beside me.

She was still asleep, her face peaceful and relaxed in a way it hadn't been for weeks.

The dark circles under her eyes were finally starting to fade. Some color had returned to her cheeks. She looked healthier. Stronger.

Both she and the baby were healing.

Thank God.

I turned my head to look at her properly.

She was lying on her

    SerenaEthan had cut fruit for me before he left.I was picking at the strawberries when Desmond knocked."Come in."He stepped inside, tablet in one hand, folder in the other. He looked at me the way everyone had been looking at me since yesterday — carefully, like I was something fragile."Good morning, ma'am. How are you feeling?""Better. Sit down, Desmond and stop looking at me like that."He sat across from me and set his things on the coffee table."I wanted to check on you personally first," he said. "Yesterday shook everyone at the office.""I'm fine," I said. "Talk to me about work. That actually helps."He nodded and opened his tablet."Uhm.... Ma'am, Lawrence Global had three new collaboration requests coming this week. The most significant one is from Meridian Properties, a Singapore firm. They're serious players. Regional expansion deal, and they want to structure it around us. Their legal team sent a full proposal."I set down my fork. "What are the terms?""Very favora

    Ethan Ashford I reached for my phone to call Daniel.That's when Katherine's phone rang.She answered immediately."Ross." A pause. Her face didn't move, but her eyes changed. "Send it to my secure server. Right now."She hung up and looked at me."That was my tech analyst," she said. "She finished tracing the IP address from the threatening text your wife received.""And?" I asked.Katherine held my gaze."It didn't originate from Dave Harrison's location," she said. "The cell tower proximity was coincidental, or manufactured. The text was routed through a VPN, but my analyst stripped the layers."She paused."The IP address traces back to Lawrence Global headquarters."The world went very still.Lawrence Global?My mind was already moving, cataloguing, calculating — when my phone buzzed.A message from Mathew Reeves, one of my perimeter guards posted on the north side of the property. Ex-military. Fifteen years in private security. A man who did not rattle easily.The message read:

    Ethan AshfordI watched the clock on the dashboard tick past 9 AM.Dave's restraining order had been filed at seven. Served by eight-fifteen.Now I sat in the back of my SUV, parked half a block from Dave Harrison's brownstone, and I waited.Katherine Ross sat in the front passenger seat, saying nothing. She was good at that. Comfortable with silence in a way that most people weren't.I was not comfortable with silence this morning.I kept thinking about everything that happened .I had promised Serena that I would find out whoever is behind it and part of that promise started here."They're inside," Daniel said through my earpiece. "Two officers serving the order now."I nodded once, though he couldn't see me.Three minutes passed.Then the door opened.Dave came out first, still in yesterday's clothes by the look of it, his face twisted with something between confusion and fury. Two police officers flanked him. A third was behind him.I watched him scan the street. His eyes moved pa

    Ethan Ashford "What do you mean?" I asked."Look at the pattern," Katherine said, pulling up a timeline on her tablet. "Victoria Wellington attacks Serena publicly through the fake videos and kidnapping. That's overt, aggressive, designed to destroy her reputation and terrify her."She pointed to another entry."Then you have Dave Harrison, who's been stalking Serena for years. His approach is covert, obsessive, personal."Another entry."Richard Morrison is the insider, feeding information, creating vulnerabilities from within Serena's own company.""And tonight?" I asked."Tonight is something different," Katherine said. "The person standing in your yard wasn't trying to attack. They were sending a message. And the message is specifically about the baby.""So you think there are multiple people involved," Daniel said."I think there's a network," Katherine said. "And I think Victoria's mysterious 'Boss' is at the center of it. He or she recruited Victoria, paid off Richard, and pos

    Ethan Ashford Within seven minutes of my call, the night exploded with lights and sirens.Three of Daniel's security vehicles came screaming up our driveway, followed closely by two police cruisers.I stayed at the window, watching the dark yard, my arm around Serena who was still trembling against me."Stay here," I told her quietly. "Don't move until I come back for you.""Ethan, please be careful," she whispered.I kissed her forehead and headed downstairs.Daniel met me at the front door with four armed security guards."The perimeter is being secured now," he said. "Two teams are sweeping the property. Police are setting up outside.""Good," I said. "Let's go."We moved outside into the cold night air.Floodlights from the security vehicles illuminated parts of the yard, but there were still deep pockets of shadow."There," I said, pointing to where I had seen the figure standing. "Right at the property line. They were standing there for at least three minutes before I called yo

    Serena "Ethan," I whispered."Hmm?" he murmured, his lips brushing against my neck."Where did you go this morning?" I asked. "When you left. What happened with Dave?"Ethan's hand stilled for a moment.Then he sighed."I confronted him," Ethan said. "Went to his house and asked him directly if he sent that text.""What did he say?" I asked."He denied it," Ethan said. "Said he would never threaten you or the baby. But Serena, there's something else. Something Daniel discovered."I turned in his arms so I could see his face."What?" I asked.Ethan's expression was serious."Dave Harrison isn't his real name," he said. "His real name is David Alexander Harrington. He changed it legally thirteen years ago."I felt my stomach drop."Why would he change his name?" I asked."Because thirteen years ago," Ethan said carefully, "David Harrington was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility for stalking a woman."I went completely still."What?" I whispered."He became obsessed with

    Serena "Serena," he said, and his voice was different. Softer. Almost... pleading?"Mr. Wellington," I replied coolly. "What can I do for you?"He flinched at my formal tone."Please," he said. "Can we talk? Really talk?"I leaned back in my chair, studying him. "You have five minutes."He took a
