Bianca’s hand won’t stop shaking. The phone pressed against her ear feels heavier with every second, like it’s not just plastic and wires but chains clamped around her neck.

Her voice erupts sharp, raw, frantic.

“You promised me, Wade! You said everything was covered, that nothing could slip through the cracks. But it did! You let it happen—you let them find out about the doctor’s daughter! You didn’t dig deep enough, you didn’t do your homework, and now Lance—Lance has the upper hand!”

She paces across her bedroom, silk robe dragging against the carpet, hair wild from running her hands through it too many times. Her reflection in the mirror startles her—eyes swollen, cheeks streaked with makeup, jaw tight with fury. She looks nothing like the polished Bianca Giovanni she forces the world to see.

Her voice cracks.

“This is your fault! Your negligence! You created this hole and now you expect me to just—just sit here like a puppet while everything caves in?”

  • You Are Mine    EPILOGUE

    It had been months since the fire. Months since the night that had swallowed everything in smoke and flames. Months since Lance had collapsed with blood seeping from his chest, and Adrianna had felt life slipping from her as well.Everyone believed she had taken her last breath that night. In truth, she had come terrifyingly close. But heaven—or fate, or love itself—had given her a second chance.Adrianna had woken from her coma a month ago, her lungs burning as though she had inhaled fire again. For a long moment, she didn’t even know who she was, only that the room smelled sterile, that the light was too soft, too kind for someone who had lived through hell. Then she saw Adrian, his face unshaven, eyes hollow from sleepless nights, his hand gripping hers as if letting go would kill him too. And Victoria—her voice trembling as she whispered her name, her tears falling freely as she pressed her forehead against Adrianna’s.They never left her side. With their strength, their stubborn

    Lance doesn’t speak. He stares past him, through the thinning smoke, to where firelight still flickers on the rooftop floor below. Something in his chest tells him—screams at him—that Adrianna is down there.And then he hears it.“Adrianna! Adrianna, stay with me!”Victoria’s voice.Lance bolts, his boots hammering against the concrete as he barrels down the stairs, ignoring Adrian’s call behind him. His shoulder burns with every movement, blood trickling hot and steady down his arm from the bullet wound Ace left him, but none of it matters.He reaches the scorched hallway. The smoke claws at his lungs, blinding his eyes, but through the haze—he sees them.Victoria kneels on the blackened floor, her hands cradling Adrianna’s limp body. Her sobs shake the walls as she rocks her sister, her cries echoing like prayers unanswered.“Please, wake up! Don’t do this to me, Adrianna, please!”Lance freezes in the doorway. His vision blurs—not from smoke, but from tears threatening to fall. He

    There—by the waiting helicopter.Bianca.Her hair is wild, tangled by the wind. Her face is streaked with tears and ash, her eyes hollowed by grief. Ramon grips her arm, steadying her as he helps her climb into the chopper. His movements are frantic, protective. He leans close, brushing a strand of hair from her face, his lips moving in soft, desperate reassurances that vanish beneath the thunder of rotor blades.“You’ll be safe. I swear it,” Ramon mouths, his voice lost to the storm.Bianca’s hand lingers on his arm, trembling. Her eyes dart once—just once—toward the door. Toward Lance. Toward the one she still cannot let go of. Her heart twists, her body pulled in two directions at once.But Wade’s voice cuts through the roar.“Bianca!”Lance and Adrian’s heads snap to the right. Wade staggers into view, his face ashen, his shirt soaked crimson where the bullet tore through him. His body sways, barely holding itself upright, yet his eyes are wild—burning with something between fury

    The world slows to a crawl.For one suspended breath, for one fragment of eternity, the crack of a gunshot splits the air. Wade’s body jerks, the sharp sound reverberating through the burning walls, echoing against steel and glass as though the building itself is screaming.He staggers back, his eyes wide, his lips parting as though trying to form words that refuse to come. His hand flies instinctively to his stomach. Warmth spreads under his palm. Blood. Thick, hot, undeniable.Wade gasps. His chest rises and falls, the breath inside him burning as though it belongs to someone else. Slowly, his gaze drags upward, searching for the one who dared.And there she is.Victoria. Her arm extended, her stance firm despite the smoke and firelight painting her in jagged shadows. The gun still pointed at him. Her hands tremble, but her eyes do not. They burn with something deeper than anger—something Wade cannot command, cannot manipulate. Hatred. Betrayal. Justice.Her voice cracks but cuts sh

    The walls groan. The heat presses down like a living thing, suffocating the air, bending shadows across the broken glass and cracked walls. Smoke curls upward, dark and heavy, choking the lungs of everyone trapped inside.“They’re closing in on us!” Bianca screams, her voice high and cracking. She clutches the soot-streaked window frame, her eyes wild as she stares at the nightmare below. Police swarm the grounds like wolves circling prey, weapons raised, voices blasting commands through megaphones. Reporters shove against the barricades, cameras flashing relentlessly, catching every moment. The air outside is chaos, but inside—inside it is hell.Gunfire rattles the walls. The sound tears through the building—short bursts, long echoes, followed by groans of pain and the desperate thud of fists and boots. The battle isn’t far anymore. It’s here.Bianca whirls toward Wade. “Do you hear that? They’re cutting through everyone!”Wade doesn’t flinch. He stands near the doorway, tall and cal

    Sirens scream into the early morning, a shrill metallic chorus that rattles the air. The flashing blue and red lights paint the sides of the abandoned high-rise in a frantic rhythm.Police cars are lined bumper to bumper, their hoods steaming in the cool night. The entire street is sealed off with barricades, reporters pressing against them with microphones raised like spears, their voices overlapping in an ugly frenzy.“Wade Houston, we have the building surrounded!” A voice booms from the loudspeaker, heavy with authority. “Release the hostage immediately and come out with your hands where we can see them!”The demand echoes off the concrete walls, but the only reply is the low, ominous roar of the fire consuming the building from within.Lance stands just beyond the barricade, the heat prickling his skin, his chest heaving as if he has already run a marathon. Beside him, Adrian leans forward, his eyes locked on the flickering silhouette of the skyscraper. Victoria stands behind the
