Edward’s pov

The water was warm, but it did nothing to ease the storm inside me. I floated, arms outspread, and studied my skies. Some words Charlotte had said earlier this morning resurfaced in my mind… her voice unreal, as if… practiced. “I was with a friend.” That simple sentence. For one entire night away from home.

But who was she kidding? She didn’t have any friends, so she stayed with them. I knew her friends. Most of them hated her.

My chest felt tight, but for some reason, it wasn’t anger, it was quiet. Dangerous.

I had people who talked to me. My spies. I would wait.

I held my breath underwater until it hurt; then I let out my breath as long as I could make it go on after coming up for air.

I got out and walked to the room where I saw her already dressed in a very mini gown in front of the mirror.

It wasn’t the kind of dress you wore to see a “friend.” Not unless that friend was planning to peel it off.

“Where are you going?” I asked while drying myself up.

She froze for ha

    Charlottes povI blinked. “For… getting me out. For calling them. For…”“Oh… that,” he sighed. “It’s fine. You’re welcome.”My chest tightened. He was too calm. Too … Edward.“How did you even get that anyway?”“I was arrested wrongly,” I said while sitting on the couch close to him. “It was sort of a mass arrest or something. They didn’t say why at first.”“Mass arrest?”“Yes,” I said, but it came out too loud. “It was nothing. Just bad luck.”He nodded slowly. “Hmm. Interesting. And you didn’t think to call me earlier? Before they locked you up?”“I did,” I shot back quickly. “I called you. You picked up and then cut the call.”For a few seconds, there was nothing, and then he leaned to the back of his seat and gazed down at me. ‘I was… I was in a meeting,’ he said. ‘I couldn’t come. I’m sorry. Had to hear from Bryan about you.’I swallowed. A meeting. That had been his excuse. But the way in which he had said it… as if it were dismissal, as if there was no reply to make.“Anyway, I

    Edward’s povI got home and dropped my keys on the counter and rubbed my hands hard over my face. I couldn’t help it as I started pacing back through the living room again. I hate pacing but there are some days when I can’t make myself be still. I went to the fridge to get out a bottle of water as I downed it and tried to keep myself still.It was time to end this.I dialled the number for the investigators. The phone was picked up. “Mr Bassett’, replied one of the investigators, his voice crisp, efficient.“Yeah,” I said, my words grinding between clenched teeth. “You’ve got Charlotte. Let her go.”He hesitated… then said slowly, “But… but Sir… She’s right on…”“She’s innocent,” I snapped before he could finish. “She was set up. Any idiot can see that. She’s my partner. She’s not rotting in a cell for something she didn’t do. She’s not even in the business world so how do you have an innocent civilian in your custody? I could take this up and I could make sure your investigations g

    Edward’s povI stared at it, for about a second too long before finally snatching the phone up and swiping right to answer. “What?”His voice was fast, panicked to the point he hadn’t even taken a breath. “Edward… thank God you picked up. I need you, man. I need your help. Please.”Hearing him speak brought it all back… last night: the fight, the words, Eloise when she saw me with Charlotte… It all already felt like it was unravelling and now he was calling, pleading in desperation.“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice flat.“I’m in trouble,” he said quickly. “I have no idea how it even got to this point in seriousness. I’m under investigation and I don’t know why.”“You can’t be serious. It’s because of fraud.”“They think I did something I didn’t do. Somebody in my company… Someone framed me. I swear to you, I didn’t do any of it.” I rubbed my temple, trying to put off the pounding in my skull. “Do you know who was waiting for me at the office this morning?” I said. “Two fucking co

    Charlottes povI pressed a hand to my mouth but it trembled so violently that one wasn’t enough so I added another.The officer closest to me rapped his knuckles on the table. “Cut the crap, Miss Charlotte. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll start answering our questions right away. What’s your involvement with Oscar? How long have the two of you been working together? What kind of transactions do you know about? Who else is helping him?”I finally lifted my eyes to his. “I don’t know,” I said through gritted teeth, clutching the edge of the table harder than ever. “No, no. I swear, I don’t know anything! You’ve got the wrong person.”The silence went on, stayed in the room with me. The scarred one shifted forward so suddenly that I flinched back. It was actually the first officer who rose to his feet, shoving the folder under his arm. “All right. As you wish.”The other man turned to follow him as I yelled.“I want to make a call!”They hesitated in the doorway and glanced back

    Edward’s povThe older agent flipped through page after page, his brow creasing less with every turn. The younger one typed furiously on his laptop, pulling up crosschecks, shaking his head slightly.Finally, the older one leaned back in his chair, closed the binder, and looked at me. “Mr. Bassett, nothing here directly implicates you.”“No,” I said. “Because there is nothing. Like I told you, Oscar’s involvement with my company was strictly business. He invests, he talks big, he shows up in shiny suits. That’s where it ends. I don’t play games with fraud. If he was running something on the side, it was behind my back and not in this company.”The younger one tapped a few more keys before shutting his laptop with a soft click. “You’re clean,” he admitted. His voice carried that reluctant note …  like he hated saying it.I finally let myself lean away from the window and stepped back. “So we are good here, right?”The elder of the two nodded curtly, already putting his things together.

    Edward’s povThe conference room door was open halfway. I pushed it all the way open and as soon as I stepped over that line I could tell why. Two men sat at the table. Dark suits. Menacing. The kind of guys who carried their guns in shoulder holsters. They stared at me like they had been waiting for me to show up.“Mr Bassett?”“Yes.” My voice didn’t shake, but my palms started sweating as I sat by the desk.They flipped their badge. I knew that badge; I’d had enough of them waved in front of me, anyway. “Department of Investigation,” the leader slapped it twice more with his forefinger. “We’d like to talk.”The air in the room changed. My stomach took off into my throat. For a second, I actually thought these guys were here about the fight… that somebody had finally pressed charges, or maybe the press wasn’t as gentle as Bryan assumed. Then the other man leaned forward and put his clasped hands on the table.“We have concerns pertaining to a mutual acquaintance of yours… Mr. Oscar
