Sharon's POV I didn't killed his mom; it was an accident. The gun went off and she was dead. I pulled her body out to the woods and left her there, wrapped in a black bed sheet. I had already received the false identities and done a makeover. I couldn't even recognize myself. My blonde hair was now black and I was tan. I loved it. When I got back to the States, I rented an apartment not too far from the mansion. If I sat on my patio, I had a perfect view of it. There were more security guards so it would be very difficult to get in unseen. Emma even had a personal bodyguard who followed her around in public if Ethan wasn't with her. It was going to be difficult to get her alone now. And rumor had it that she was pregnant again— with bloody twins!My blood boiled and my jaw tightened looking at the huge mansion, sitting there on the hill like a kingdom, mocking me with its presence. I wanted to burn it to the ground with Ethan and Emma inside

Ethan's POV I was up early doing some extreme workouts in the gym when Halley came in. "Good morning," she said as she stood, watching me with her doe eyes. "What's up?" I asked, still running on the treadmill. I was determined to get in twenty miles. "I have something you might be interested in seeing. I'll be at my chambers." She left and left me wondering what that was all about. After I completed my twenty miles and refreshed, I went to check on Emma. She was still fast asleep, wrapped up in the sheets like a burrito. I closed the door quietly and went to find Halley. "This came over GSDC this morning. They interviewed your former COO." She handed me her tablet. Linda was being interviewed by the host of the channel. ********************************Host: How long were two you having an affair?Linda: Well, it wasn't really an affair, it's not like he was married. 

Emma's POV Today was Ethan's birthday and I planned on making it special for him. Halley, Hannah and I had already set up decorations and informed the party comers. He wasn't at home so he would get a great surprise later on when he got back from his trip.His Nana had moved in with us. She was getting fragile and still grieving over the death of her daughter, but I tried to make her as comfortable and peaceful as possible. She was looking forward to seeing the surprise on his face when he walked in and saw the party. The disc jockey was by the swimming pool; the security guards were checking and clearing the guest entrance. We wanted a safe party.After everything had been set up and put in order, and the caterers delivered the meals and we arranged the buffet style food, I went upstairs with Nana to get dressed. I helped her in the bathtub then went to my room and took a shower. I got dressed and went back over to assist her in getting ready.&nb

Ethan's POV "I slapped her in the face and called security to capture her. I couldn't believe she hurt Emma like that. She was supposed to clean the bedroom, not attack her!" Halley said in anguish as we sat in a public hospital, waiting to hear about Emma's condition from a doctor.I hated hospitals. Something about them screamed death with their cold halls and  rooms. I hated them. I was going crazy and I wanted to kill someone. I wanted to wrap my hands around something and squeeze the life out of it. Why couldn't I catch a break? Why so much hate and anger? What did Emma ever do to anyone to deserve such an attack?I blamed myself. Hiring that maid out of the blue because I was angry with Emma for the miscarriage. I didn't even conduct a proper background check on Hannah like I usually did all my employees.I was so focused on capturing Sharon— the woman who killed my mom— that I forgot all about Emma and what Linda said about Hanna

Ethan's POV We arrived in the Bahamas in the afternoon. I knew I should have looked at other options, but I loved it here and I always pictured me and Emma here instead of Sharon. Emma was happy regardless. She wasn't at first but when we got to the hotel and she saw the beach along side it, she was overwhelmed with happiness. She was too excited to even take a quick nap after the flight. She changed into plain jeans, a light jacket and sandals, and we went for a walk along the beach. We got coconut water and Emma drank it down quickly."It's beautiful here," she said as she hugged my arm like a teddy bear. We sat on the sand and watched the small waves crash on the shore. The evening sun made the sky look like a perfect work of art with orange painted all around it. The wind was blowing calmly on our skin. "Ethan? Ethan Hollen is that you?" I heard a voice asking from behind us. We turned around to see a tall, medium built woman
