The Wrong Mr Calloway Chapter 54
Sienna’s PovI’d been watching the front gates for almost an hour. Every pair of headlights made my heart race, and every passing minute felt longer than the last. Margaret sat beside me in the living room with Ava asleep upstairs. Neither of us spoke much — there was nothing left to say. We were all waiting.Finally, I saw Roman’s car pull into the driveway. I stood immediately. “They’re back.” Margaret rose with me.The front door opened a few moments later. Roman walked in first, his suit covered in dust. Nate followed behind him, looking exhausted. Then Cole stepped inside.The moment I saw his face, I knew. Victor had escaped.Cole looked at me, but he didn’t smile. His shoulders were heavy, his eyes empty. He looked like a man carrying years of pain all over again.I walked toward him without saying a word. He stopped in front of me. For a few seconds, we simply looked at each other. Then I wrapped my arms around him. He didn’t speak — he just held me tightly, so tightly I could

Cole’s PovBy eight that evening, every vehicle was in position. The abandoned warehouse stood alone at the edge of an old industrial district, most of the surrounding buildings empty for years.Roman stood beside one of the police vehicles, studying the map one last time. “The tactical team will enter through the front and the east side.” An officer nodded. “The back exit is covered.”Roman looked at another officer. “The roof?”“We have officers watching it.”Nate walked over to me. “You still sure about this?”I looked at the warehouse. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for years.”He nodded slowly. “Just remember what you promised Sienna.”“I will.”Roman joined us. “Cole. You stay behind us.”“I know.”“If Victor speaks to you—”“I don’t lose control.”Roman gave a small nod. “Good.”I looked toward the command vehicle parked farther away. Sienna was inside with Margaret and the investigators. She wasn’t close enough to be in danger, but she’d refused to stay at the estate. Befo

The peace we found the night before lasted only until sunrise. At seven o’clock my phone rang. Roman.I answered immediately. “We found him?”Roman didn’t waste any time. “We have a lead.”I sat up in bed. “How good?”“The best one we’ve had so far.”Beside me, Sienna slowly opened her eyes and looked at my face. “What happened?”I covered the phone. “It’s Roman.” She immediately sat up too.Roman kept talking. “One of Victor’s former drivers reached out to the investigators this morning. He wants immunity, and he gave us an address.”My heartbeat quickened. “You think Victor’s actually there?”“We think he’s been using it as a temporary safe house.”I looked out the window. “So this is it.”“We’re preparing an operation now.”“I’ll be there.”He paused for a moment. “I knew you’d say that.”“I have to be.”“We’ll talk when you arrive.”The call ended, and I lowered the phone slowly. Sienna was already watching me closely. “You found him.”“We may have.”She didn’t smile. Instead she

The entire estate felt unusually quiet after Victor’s phone call. Security had doubled, more guards standing at every entrance now, and Roman spent most of the day locked away with investigators discussing plans. For the first time in weeks, though, I realized something simple. Life didn’t stop just because danger existed somewhere nearby. People still had to eat. Children still laughed. Families still found small reasons to smile.When I walked into the kitchen that evening, I found Cole standing in front of the open refrigerator, looking completely lost.“What are you doing?” I asked, leaning against the doorway.He turned around. “Trying to decide what to cook.”“How long have you been standing there?”“Ten minutes.”I laughed. “You’ve been staring at vegetables for ten minutes?”“They’re surprisingly difficult.”“They’re carrots, Cole.”“I know.”“They’re not going to bite you.”“You don’t know that for certain.”I laughed again. “You need help.”“I definitely do.”Just then Ava c

I meant to keep the promise Sienna and I had made. No more secrets between us, no more carrying burdens alone, no more quietly deciding what was best for someone else without asking them first. Simple enough to say. Much harder to actually live by.Three days after that conversation, I was sitting in Roman’s office reviewing financial reports when my phone buzzed with a number I didn’t recognize. Normally I would have let it go to voicemail. Something told me not to this time.“This is Cole.”Silence stretched out for several seconds. Then a voice I knew instantly made every muscle in my body lock up.“Good afternoon, Cole.”I stood up so fast my chair scraped against the floor. Roman glanced up from his desk immediately. “What is it?”I held up a finger, unable to look away from some fixed point on the floor. “Victor.”His expression hardened at once.“I was wondering how long it would take you to recognize my voice,” Victor said, sounding almost amused.“What do you want?”“You alre
The Wrong Mr Calloway Chapter Forty Nine
Something had changed in Cole over the past few days. It wasn’t obvious, and most people probably wouldn’t have noticed at all. But I did. He smiled more than usual, got distracted at strange moments, and sometimes I caught him watching me with an expression I couldn’t quite name. The instant I looked back, he’d glance away just as quickly.It happened at breakfast. It happened at the lakeside house. It even happened while Ava was telling us about a picture she’d drawn at school.“Cole,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him.“Yes?”“You’re hiding something.”He smiled innocently. “I’m not.”“You are.”“What makes you think that?”“I know you.”“I’ve become that easy to read?”“You’ve always been easy to read,” I said, and Roman walked into the dining room just in time to hear it.“She’s right,” Roman said immediately.“Not you too,” Cole groaned.Roman picked up an apple from the fruit bowl. “I have no idea what she’s talking about. But she’s right.”Cole sighed dramatically. “I suddenly
