Not On Her

Genesis stood just inside the visitation room, blocking the only exit. She hadn’t taken a seat. She didn’t need to. The scratched metal table between them felt like a flimsy prop.Monica’s eyes darted from Genesis’s face to her stomach, then back up. Fear lived openly in them now—raw, unguarded. The woman who once ruled her world with silk gloves and sharp words looked small, old, breakable.Genesis searched that face, the new wrinkles carved deep around the mouth and eyes, the streaks of gray-white threading through hair that used to be glossy black, the exhaustion that had hollowed out the once-imperious cheekbones. She waited for the hatred to rise, hot and familiar.It didn’t come.Anger was there, yes, coiled tight in her chest like a sleeping snake. But the loudest thing roaring through her veins wasn’t rage.It was pity.Pity for the woman who could have been a mother.Who could have held her when she cried after the car accident.Who could have loved her instead of breaking he

The Last Call

Keenan stepped fully into the living room, closing the door behind him with a soft click that echoed louder than it should have in the tense space. The house was dim, curtains drawn, only a single lamp casting long shadows across the leather furniture and marble floors. Jimmy lounged in the oversized chair that used to be Keenan’s favorite, feet propped on the glass coffee table, a half-empty bottle of Château Margaux dangling from his fingers. Mark sat on the couch opposite, hunched over his phone, thumbs flying across the screen like he could text his way out of the mess they were in.Keenan tilted his head, studying them.“It seems you’ve already made yourself comfortable,” he said, voice smooth, almost amused.Jimmy sat up quickly, dropping his feet to the floor with a thud. “I thought you said we should make ourselves at home.”Keenan’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Yeah. I did.”He crossed the room in slow steps and stopped in front of the table. Jimmy straightened, suddenly awa

Nightmares Don’t Stay Asleep

The dream came fast and vicious.She was small again, skinny arms, skinny legs, strapped to the cold exam table in Reeves’s office. The lights burned too bright overhead, and the air reeked of antiseptic mixed with something sour. Aiden Reeves loomed above her, a mask covering his face, a scalpel glinting in his gloved hand.“Shhh,” he whispered, his voice soft, almost gentle, like he was soothing a baby. “It’s not going to hurt. Just close your eyes and it’ll be over soon. I promise.”She thrashed, wrists burning against the restraints. “No, no, I want to leave! Where’s my stepmom?!”He smiled behind the mask, slow and patient. “She paid me to help you. And I will.”Then blood began pouring from his eyes, his nose, his mouth. His eyes went impossibly wide as he spoke again, his voice warped and wrong.“And I’ll gut you and gut your child… just like your husband did to me.”The scalpel pressed against her stomach.Cold metal kissed skin.She screamed.Genesis jolted awake with a stran

The Ascot

The interrogation room at the FBI field office in Lower Manhattan was colder than the holding cell at MDC had been. Gray walls, metal table bolted to the floor, one-way mirror reflecting Keenan’s calm face back at him. His wrists were cuffed to a chain looped through the table ring, standard for suspected homicide but he sat like he was waiting for a business meeting, shoulders relaxed, expression almost bored.Special Agent Hale sat across from him, file open, photos spread out like playing cards.Keenan hadn’t said more than six words since they brought him in:“I need to speak to my lawyer.”Hale leaned forward. “Mr. Dane, we’re not playing games. Your silk ascot, custom monogram, your DNA on the fibers was tied around the severed torso of Amanda Reynolds. Found in a public dumpster two blocks from your building. CCTV shows her entering your car at 6:47 p.m. the night she disappeared. She never left it on camera.”Keenan stared at the photo of the ascot, flecks of blood on it then

There Is Always a Price

Genesis POV“Rot in hell, Keenan,” I said into the phone, smiling so wide it hurt my cheeks.I pulled the phone from my ear, glanced at the screen, the caller ID still glowing with the burner number and ended the call with a soft tap.Then I exhaled, long and deep, like I’d been holding my breath for years.“Someone’s a badass.”The croaky, rough voice came from the left side of the room.I spun around so fast I almost dropped the phone.Kieran.He was awake.He tried to sit up, but winced and hissed through his teeth, then gave up and settled back with a low grunt.I tossed the phone onto the side table and rushed to him, hands gentle on his shoulders.“Hey, hey, slow down,” I whispered, easing him back. “Don’t move too much.”He caught my wrist with his good hand—weak, but firm—and pulled me closer until I was perched on the edge of the bed.“How long have you been awake?” I asked. He must have heard my conversation with Keenan, and I didn’t know how he’d feel about that.“Long enou

Hate Me While You Come

REVELATIONI stepped out of the bathroom, steam curling around my ankles, towel wrapped loosely around my hair but nothing else. Water droplets slid down my spine, my collarbone, between my breasts, slow trails that caught the low light. I dragged the towel over my face, wiping away the last of the shower fog.When I pulled it down, my heart slammed into my ribs.Damon.Lounging on the edge of my bed like he fucking owned it, legs spread, black shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows, forearms corded with muscle and faint scars. Dark eyes locked on me the second the towel dropped from my face.“¡Joder!” I hissed, the Spanish curse slipping out sharp and instinctive.I glared, forgetting, for one glorious, stupid second, that I was completely naked.“What the fuck are you doing here, Damon?”His gaze dragged down my body, slow, shameless, hungry. Not subtle. Not polite. Just pure, predatory want. I felt it like a hand between my thighs.I snapped the towel across my front, clutching it to m

Change of Plan

Veronica’s words slurred over the rim of her glass as she slammed it down on the low table in the private booth of Opal Noire. The club’s bass thumped through the walls like a second heartbeat, but inside the velvet-curtained space, the air was thick with liquor and resentment. “His wife,” Charlie muttered, smirking. “And you're drunk,” Veronica spat, voice wobbling between fury and tears. “His wife? Please. I was with him through childhood, through every summer his father dumped him in Japan to ‘fend for himself.’ I was the one who kept him company when he was lonely. And then that mute, timid little freak shows up and suddenly I’m banished to England for two months like I’m some disobedient child.” Charlie leaned back in the booth, swirling his whiskey. “You chose England yourself and there’s nothing timid about Genesis anymore. She broke his head open with a fucking bat.” Rico lips still swollen from making out with the brunette now draped across his lap looked up sharply. “Wait

When the Body Says No

Genesis rocked back and forth on the bed, back pressed against the headboard, knees drawn to her chest. Tears fell silently down her cheeks, soaking the front of her nightgown. The room was dark except for the faint glow of the bedside lamp, but even that felt too bright.Everything was too much.Tomorrow she had to stand in front of a courtroom and tell strangers every ugly detail of the last fifteen years. The locked rooms. The starvation. The beatings, the assaults. The doctor’s office visits she could barely remember.She didn’t even remember most of it.But she would have to say it anyway.She pressed her palms to her eyes, trying to stop the tears, but they kept coming. She was so tired. So fucking tired. The nightmares hadn’t stopped since the shooting, every night she saw Reeves leaning over her with that scalpel, whispering he was going to gut her and the baby the same way Kieran had “gutted” him but that was not all, she would relive days in the Caldwell Estate. She woke up

Remote Testimony

“How is my sister now?” Revelation asked. Damon stood behind her. They were a few feet away from Genesis, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed at the far side of the room.The doctor sighed. “This wouldn’t have happened if you had both followed what I told you the first time. You were the one who was with her when we found out she was pregnant…”Rev cut him off. “What the fuck are you saying? Get to the damn point.”“Kitten, relax,” Damon said in a low tone behind her, his hand resting on her waist. Then he turned to the doctor with a hard look. “What is wrong with her? Is the baby fine?”The doctor looked between them, choosing his words carefully.“She’s fine. The baby is fine,” he repeated. “But the hematoma has expanded. The bleeding was triggered by acute stress and physical strain. If this continues, the risk of miscarriage increases significantly.”Revelation’s face crumpled.Tears slid down her cheeks. “This is my fault,” she whispered. “I let her handle everything. Kieran,

Homecoming

The next day, Monday morning, the living room of the Blackwood estate had been transformed into a makeshift courtroom satellite. A large flat-screen monitor sat on a low console table, webcam positioned perfectly. The camera angle was tight: just the cream sofa in frame, soft daylight from the windows behind it, no clutter visible. Everything else, the Christmas tree still twinkling in the corner, Daisy’s toys scattered near the fireplace, Donald’s medical equipment pushed to the far wall stayed carefully out of shot. Damon finished adjusting the webcam one last time, then turned to the small crowd gathered. “Everyone except Genesis, sit far back. Out of frame. No interruptions. No sounds. If the judge or prosecutor asks who else is present, we say no one. Clear?” Revelation nodded from the armchair she’d dragged to the far corner. Jaden sat beside Rosie on the loveseat near the window, both silent. Donald was in his wheelchair at the opposite end, leg still bandaged but color
