You're the one residing in the opposite house to mine, yet you feel the need to interrogate me?" Emma gave a small laugh, she shook her head in unbelief, it seems as though it wasn't enough seeing hum since after their breakup in his father's office, but seeing him in her apartment which makes it twice in one day was more than enough and she could not wait for the day to pass away."How benevolent of my father to offer you shelter. Pathetic," Trevor sneered, oozing disdain as he eyed her from head to toe, emanating hostility."At least I'm not promiscuous,, a deceiver, a despicable person, a perpetrator of domestic violence, and a manipulator, all rolled into one," Emma countered, her arms folded as she stood her ground, staring him down."What did you just call me?"

Lucas stood by her bedside, fretful and relieved.“You're awake,” he whispered, gingerly brushing her clammy skin.“He's dead... because of me,” Emma croaked, silent tears cascading down her cheeks, accusing herself.Lucas held her tightly, providing wordless solace as she wept into his shoulder, each sob wracking her body.She cried until her tears ran dry until the nurses returned with another dose of sedative.

At the sudden revelation, Emma averted her gaze from the screen of her laptop, her thoughts spinning as she attempted to comprehend the bone chilling article she had just read. To her astonishment, both Sheryl and Damien, the investigators who had delved into the enigmatic depths of the Maddox empire, had met their demise within a mere four months. An upheaval of nausea gripped her, prompting her to rise from her seat and traverse the quiet room with a frenzied gait.How had they become aware that she and Damien were probing the Maddox empire? They had always exercised caution, meeting in secluded areas outside of the city as she can vividly remember and communicating discreetly through disposable phones. She hadn't even dared to use her own phone to contact Damien after their last communication. So how had the situation devolved to this point?As she paced back and forth, memories came flooding back, each one a piercing realization. Damien had once used his regular phone to call her

Lucas's eyes widened in disbelief, his hand reaching out to touch her arm. "I could never, Emma. I truly love you, I never knew who you were the moment I saw you at the bar until the paparazzi news. That's why I wanted to protect you from it all. I didn't want you to think that."Emma faltered as Lucas's words sunk in.
