“Don’t you see it?” Ajax growled. “She fucking made a fool of you! Oh, no. No, no. Not just you, Vincent, not just you. She made a fool of fucking all of us!”Vincent was jolted back to reality by a hand on his knee. He shook his head, attempting to clear his mind of the memories that had troubled him in the past.He had no idea why he was suddenly thinking of them. Maybe because it was just as depressing back then as it was now.Michael had been apprehended by the cops, and he might soon get what he truly deserved, but there was this foreboding feeling inside him that he couldn’t shake, as if there was something else they needed to take care of, as if the dread of his father hadn’t completely left his mind, as if this was far from over…“We’re home!”Vincent relaxed as he heard his brother’s voice, looking out the window and staring at the heavily fortified entrance.There were guards scattered everywhere, keeping a meticulous eye in and out of the perimeter of the house. He hadn’t s

Yes, it hurt, and Claire did make things more complicated than they needed to be. But didn’t he know deep down that she was the only one for him? That she was the most beautiful, badass woman he’d ever seen the first time he saw her in that club, butting heads with a man twice her size? That when he found her bleeding and bruised at the bus stop, all he wanted to do was cradle her in his arms and spoon her to sleep? That the first time he realized she had betrayed him—stolen from him—his first thought was not to lash out at her or accuse her of taking advantage of him, but to tell her that if she had just told him that she had a good reason to do what she did, he would understand? That when he found out about her engagement to Lucas Devonshire and went to confront her about it, his heart told him she was lying through her teeth?“Lie to me all you want, Ms Berkeley,” he said to her the day after her engagement, pushing her up against the wall of her office chamber and locking her hand

“Please, Dad, don’t do this.” Claire cried, but her father’s heart seemed to have turned to stone, and nothing she said, not even her tears, seemed to melt him. “Please don’t take him away from me. Dad! Dad! Please, please, please, stop. I beg you. Please. Please, don’t. Dad! DAD!”But her dad showed no mercy. He scooped the crying baby from the hospital crib and stormed out of the room———Claire sucked in a sharp breath as the memory from months ago hit her like a train.She looked at her trembling hands and wrapped them around herself, rocking herself, trying to calm down. She couldn’t believe her luck, that every man she had ever trusted had betrayed her so badly.Be it her father, brother, any of her previous idiot boyfriends, and now Ajax. Oh, wait, how could she have forgotten about that asshole John? Even that one hell of a bodyguard lied to her, pretending to be there to keep her safe when, in reality, he was only keeping an eye on her, giving her a false sense of security be

“I can try to be mad at you.” He whispered to Claire, holding her hands and placing them on his shoulders. “I even did. But there’s something about you that makes me want to love you even more.” Ignoring her frown, he kissed her, deeper and deeper, and with everything he had.———Ajax stood with his back to the wall as Vincent paced back and forth in the small corridor outside the emergency room.The older Halest brother watched his younger brother, becoming increasingly anxious and impatient. His shirt was splattered with blood. His hair was a mess. But none of that mattered because the man inside the emergency room was the only one who knew where Claire was and what had happened to them an hour ago.Vincent’s gut told him where he could find Claire after they couldn’t find her in the guest room. Michael, too, had escaped from the hospital despite his injuries, and something told him it wasn’t just a coincidence.He just knew something had happened, something terrible, something that

“We don’t have all the answers yet,” Gael sighed. “However, we cannot rule out the possibility that he might be getting help from someone else.”“That’s probably the case.” John kept his hands on his hips and nibbled on the inside of his cheek, looking confident about this new theory. “Without external help, he couldn’t have pulled it off.”While Ajax, Gael, and John continued going over all of the information they had, Vincent’s mind was set on a very different scenario. The same voice that had been plaguing him since he arrived home was now shouting in his brain.Vincent sat down and put his head in his hands to better understand what his instinct was telling him. He tried to think of another justification, but all of his thoughts seemed to revolve around the same name.“Who is Falsetti?” He asked, lifting his head. Vincent was very certain that was the name Michael and Natasha kept mentioning. The man they both appeared to be afraid of. After all, wasn’t he the same man his father

Claire woke up from the start, gasping, panting, and blinking frantically around herself, hoping it was not real, wondering if she was dead, alive, or just hanging in the middle. She could feel her chest expand at every intake of a deep breath, and she could feel the way it contracted as all the air rushed out of her nose and mouth.She could blink. She could breathe. And she could very well feel all of those things happening. All the signs pointed to the same conclusion: she was still alive.But before she could celebrate the minor victory, a stabbing pain threatened to split her skull. Although Claire was quick to realize it was where that unknown man had bashed her head with something hard.Fucking bastard! She thought, with all the other delirious thoughts popping up as they whipped through the tunnel of her mind, almost causing her whiplash with their force.But to her greatest sorrow, Claire could hardly focus on any of them.She cocked her head to the side, finally sober enough

However, apart from everyone else, there was one man in particular who was insanely hard to miss. He wore a suit, too, but the one he wore made him look more unique, more powerful, more…dangerous.Wait, or maybe it was the aura he exuded. Because everything about him screamed danger. Unlike the men on guard, the corner of his lips was slightly crooked, as if he was getting off from the pain of the crying man, and the way he sat in the chair, with his legs crossed at the ankle and his arms crossed broadly over his chest, he seemed to be the one calling the shots.And she was proven right when, with two snaps of his fingers, one of the men standing next to a long wooden table (with something littered on it that she couldn’t quite see) pushed a syringe up in the air and filled it with some sort of blue liquid. He transferred the syringe to another man, who had his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows. While the man in the wheelchair was shouting, cursing, and screaming at the top of his

Three minutes ago, Vincent pulled up the car outside an old warehouse in a deserted industrial area, far outside the city. Before Lucas went into another surgery, he made sure that he shared the address where those people wanted Vincent to show up. Alone. Unarmed.Of course, Ajax seemed absolutely against it. And Gael, too, advised him not to do something impulsive or stupid. John had offered to lay out a plan so they could make sure everyone was safe. But Vincent was feeling hopeless while they all were busy giving their input.He knew what was happening and why Vittorio Falsetti was eager to see him. Because if he weren’t eager, he wouldn’t have sent such a strong message through Lucas, and he certainly wouldn’t have leveraged Claire as a guarantee to ensure he turned up.Vincent excused himself for a moment to use the restroom, then went straight into the basement parking, collected the car, and drove to the address. It was probably an impulsive thing to do, something Gael and John

But Vince didn’t need words to understand the toll all of this might have taken on her. The last few days had been nightmares, and no one could tell him otherwise.“Hey, I’m here, and absolutely fine, as you can see.” He whispered those words to her against the pressure behind his own eyes, his chest growing warmer and warmer by the minute. “Calm down, love. We are going to get out of here. I promise.”Vincent hugged her close to himself as if he could shield her from the vicious eyes that had been trained on him since the moment he stepped inside the warehouse.He might have only heard the name Falsetti, but there was no doubt in his mind that the third person in the chair, who sat directly facing him, was him. With his elbow on the armrest and chin on the heel of his palm, the man seemed powerful enough to look bored.The rest of them, especially the one standing behind Falsetti, were simply too watchful for their own good.“Ah, finally, the man of the hour arrives!” exclaimed False

Vincent felt a chill run down his spine, unsure if the man’s words were meant to be taken lightly or if he truly intended to lead him down a path of depravity. There was no denying that Falsetti was a bit unhinged. The glint of danger and madness in his dark eyes made it clear that he was not someone to be trifled with, not without facing severe consequences.Vincent cast a glance at Nico, who seemed to be taking pleasure in the conversation with an excessive eagerness. The younger Halest sibling was evidently striving to conceal his emotions as he spoke, attempting to mask how much Falsetti’s words were impacting him.“I’m not sure I follow your line of thinking,” Vincent said with a furrowed brow. “I am not a monster, nor do I aspire to become one.”Falsetti leaned in even closer, his eyes blazing with a cold, calculated intensity. He completely disregarded Claire’s presence, as if she was nothing but a mere fly buzzing around.“Oh, come on, Vincent, don’t kid yourself!” he said, hi
