Lucas’s POVMy throat burned, my eyes stinging as I leaned on my cane, the pain in my injured leg flaring, my hands trembling with exhaustion and dread. My stomach churned, my pulse faltering as my phone buzzed with Tom’s name. I answered, my throat tightening, my heart thudding with urgency. “Tom, what’s the word?” I asked, my voice low and raw, my eyes glistening.Tom’s voice was steady, his pulse calm through the phone, his throat easing. “I lied to the cops about the gun, Lucas,” he said, his heart resolute. “Told them I shot it—it’s in my name.” My pulse quickened, my throat burning with confusion, my eyes narrowing. “Why the hell would you do that?” I snapped, my voice sharp, my heart racing. “What’s the angle?” Tom’s throat tightened, his pulse faltering. “To keep you clean,” he said, his voice firm. “You shooting Austin could’ve sparked questions, muddied the investigation.

CHAPTER 265

Lucas’s POVThe kids’ room was a sanctuary of soft shadows, the glow of a moon-shaped nightlight casting gentle patterns across Lily and Noah’s beds. My heart pounded like a war drum, each beat heavy with the weight of our fractured family, my pulse racing as I sat between their beds, reading a bedtime story about a brave knight and a dragon.

My eyes stung, tears threatening as I turned the page, my hands trembling with the effort to keep my voice steady. Lily’s eyes sparkled, her pulse calm, her heart light as she followed the tale, but Noah’s gaze was distant, his pulse steady but his throat tightening, his small face etched with the scars of Austin’s cruelty. “And the knight raised his shield,” I read, my voice low, my throat raw as I glanced at them, my heart thudding with love

CHAPTER 268

Lily’s POVThe world felt too big sometimes, like it was pressing down on my chest, making my heart thump hard and fast, like a bunny running from something scary. My throat all tight and scratchy as I sat in the therapist’s office, the soft blue walls and squishy chair doing nothing to calm the flutter in my tummy. Everyone kept asking if I was okay—Daddy, Mommy, Aunt Vivian, even Uncle Ethan—their eyes all worried, their voices soft like I was a glass doll that might break. But I was okay, wasn’t I? My heart felt steady, my eyes stinging a little as I fiddled with the hem of my dress, my hands shaky but sure. I didn’t feel broken, not like they thought I should be.

CHAPTER 269

Noah’s POVI sat on the squishy chair in the waiting room, my heart going thump-thump fast. My hands were all shaky, and my tummy felt wiggly, like worms crawling inside. My throat felt funny, like I swallowed something too big, and my eyes got all stingy as I looked at the bright lights in the therapist’s office. Everything was scary since the bad man, Austin, took me and Lily away. His mean voice kept ringing in my head, saying Lily wasn’t my real sister, making my heart feel all mixed up, like when my crayons get all jumbled in the box. I loved Lily, but sometimes I wasn’t sure, and that made my tummy hurt more. My pulse went fast, my eyes all watery as I hugged my stuffed bear, Mr. Snugs, tight. Then Lily came out from her talk with Dr.Wills her eyes all shiny and happy. She ran to me and hugged me, her arms warm and squeezy. My heart felt big, but my throat got tight, and I didn’t know why she hugged me so sudden. My pulse slowed a little, my eyes still stingy as I hugged he

Lucas’s POVThe hospital’s scent clung to the air as I stood in the NICU, my heart pounding like a relentless storm against my ribs, each beat heavy with relief and lingering dread. My pulse raced, my throat raw from the weight of the past weeks—Olivia’s fear, the kids’ trauma, and the dark plan I’d set in motion to end Austin’s threat. My eyes stung, my hands trembling as I sat on the chair, the pain in my injured leg a constant ache, my stomach churning with the secret I’d shared with Olivia.
