Amanda’s POVThe courthouse smelled like disinfectant and fear. Every time I stepped inside, I felt as though I was being swallowed by shadows that weren’t mine. All the cases were now bleeding together until I could barely breathe under the weight.But today, something was different. People were watching me. Not with pity, not with disdain, but with… curiosity. Whispers slid through the corridor like snakes:"Is it true Thomas White is backing her?""I heard the White Group’s lawyers are taking over the case.""She’s not just some grieving woman anymore, she’s dangerous."Dangerous? The word curled through my chest like fire, For once, the stares didn’t make me want to shrink. They made me want to stand taller.I found Adam leaning against the wall outside the courtroom, his arms crossed, eyes sharp. "The tide’s turning,” he said quietly, studying me.I raised a brow. "You sound almost hopeful.""I’m realistic," he countered. "With White Group backing you, people a

Ryan’s POVAdam’s words lingered in my head long after I left his office. His tone had been calm, steady, but it carried an edge of desperation when he mentioned Amanda. He said she was suffocating under the weight of lawsuits, that the Stewards would crush her if she didn’t get stronger allies. And then he told me about Thomas White—how Amanda was being backed into a corner by that man’s condition.Marriage.The very thought made my stomach churn. I knew Amanda well enough to understand she would never trade herself so cheaply, not unless she had no choice. The idea of her accepting Thomas’s proposal clawed at me until my chest felt tight. I’d denied it for too long, ignored it, buried it beneath duty, anger, and confusion. But in that moment, I knew the truth.I’d fallen for her.And it might already be too late. ~•~When I pushed open the door to the mansion that evening, Selene’s shrill voice greeted me before I could even take off my

Amanda’s POVThe photo wouldn’t leave my mind. Levi, sitting beside Thomas, his small body swallowed up by the leather seat, his head tilted toward a man who wasn’t his father. A man who had slipped into our lives with polished shoes and promises, dangling salvation like a prize I had to pay for.I slammed my office door shut the next morning, the echo rattling through the empty clinic wing. My hands shook as I set my bag down. All night, I hadn’t slept. All I could think about was Thomas’s ultimatum, Ryan’s wild eyes when he’d admitted Levi had been meeting him, and now this picture.I had come here to pick some of my things, it was a bad image for me to be around the hospital with my pending case.The moment Thomas walked in, crisp in his tailored suit, I didn’t even let him speak."What were you doing with Levi?" My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care.His brow arched, calm as ever. "Protecting him.""Protecting him?" My laugh was hollow.

Amanda’s POVI had not planned to return to Ryan’s office again but a lot had to be said and this felt like my only chance.After the storm that passed between us earlier, the shouting, the disbelief in his eyes, the way my confession about Blair’s blood had cut me raw, I thought I’d never have the courage to walk back through that door. But courage wasn’t what dragged me here now. It was desperation.My heels echoed faintly against the marble floor as I approached his office again, each step heavier than the last. The receptionist gave me a wary glance but didn’t dare stop me. When I opened the door, Ryan was at his desk, head bowed, shoulders low as though he carried the weight of the entire world. The dim lamplight carved hard shadows across his face, deepening the anger plastered there.His eyes snapped up, "Amanda?" His voice was rough, low, dangerous. "I thought you said everything you had to say."I swallowed hard, my throat burning. "I did, but there’s more. And if I don’t

Amanda’s POVThe moment I stepped through the front door, exhaustion weighed on me making my eyes spin.My shoulders ached, my mind still replayed every word from Ryan’s office, every flicker of doubt in his eyes. I closed the door behind me, letting the faint hum of the city outside fade into silence. The apartment was quiet, too quiet, and I could hear Adam’s soft movements somewhere in the house."Adam?" I called, my voice barely more than a whisper.A muffled groan answered me. Then the door to his room creaked open. He stepped out, his bare feet hitting the floor softly, his hair ruffled from with trying to sleep or him running his fingers through it. His brown eyes were wary, immediately searching mine as if he could read everything I was holding back."You’re back early." he said, his voice low, cautious. "How did it go with Ryan?"Ryan, how we went from being archenemies to his name being comfortably mentioned in my home still baffled me.I hesitated, gripping the edge of the
