Miriam’s POVMy head felt weird and unusual, as if it was filled with cotton wool. I tried to open my eyes but it felt as if they had been super-glued shut. I heard voices around me but I found it hard to make out what they were saying. After a few more minutes of confusion, I started to understand their conversation.“What happened to her? Did anybody touch her?” I heard a very familiar, commanding male voice ask.“Nothing happened to her. She just passed out.”“What do you mean she passed out? My wife was in perfect condition when she left the house this morning.”Oh my goodness, they were talking about me! I tried to will myself to get up and join in the conversation but my body was too weak to respond. I forced my eyelids to move and they slowly cracked open to see white walls and bright, fluorescent lights. The room looked quite familiar and I soon realized that it was a hospital. Lazar and Sara were standing in front of my bed. They were the ones talking.“Look, she’s awake!” Sa

Miriam’s POVI am not really happy with the way Lazar always leaves me in a hurry to do something in private. I knew we both had things to handle on our own but I just wished he would tell me before completely disappearing.I could barely sleep that night. My eyes were closed as I lay down on the bed but I was actually awake all through. I even heard when Lazar came up to the bedroom and climbed into bed with me in the middle of the night. At first, I had been startled, thinking it was the stalker but I recognized his scent and I relaxed.“I’m sorry for leaving like that,” he muttered while rubbing my arm. “We’ll talk about it when you’re awake.”I pretended to be asleep as well but there were a lot of questions on my mind. All of a sudden, I wondered if he had anything to do with the strange messages. It was on the tip of my tongue to turn around and ask him but I knew better than to do that. It would not look good for me to accuse him, especially if he was innocent.The following mo

Lazar’s POV“Where is Delvano?” I yelled out loud to no one in particular.“I’m here, Don.”I turned around to look at him and it was evident that he was guilty. I didn’t give a shit about that right now.“So you knew about the fire?” I barked and he barely flinched.“Yes, I did,” he replied.“Why didn’t you say anything?”He stayed quiet and his silence only made me more infuriated. “Answer me when I’m talking to you!”“I’m sorry but it skipped my mind. I didn’t realize how important it was for you to know.”My uncle had planted a fire in the same mall that Miriam went to with her friend. There was absolutely no way that it could have been a coincidence. Apparently, Delvano knew about it but he didn’t say anything.“Are you listening to yourself right now?” I scoffed. “You know you’re supposed to run everything by me! Damn it!”“I apologize. It won’t happen again.” He cleared his throat.Just then, Rosodov walked into the room and observed the situation. He made eye contact with me a

Lazar’s POV“You’ve got to tell me what you actually did to your uncle.” My mother was following me around the house now.In the past hour that I’ve been here, I have changed positions at least five times because I was avoiding talking to her. She wasn’t giving up though. “You don’t have to worry about it, mother. I took care of him.”I avoided the worried look on her face. Even without her words, I could tell what she was trying to ask but I wasn’t ready to answer her question.“When you say that you took care of him, please don’t tell me what I’m thinking you did.” There was a begging tone to her voice.“I only did what had to be done,” I said through gritted teeth. “Besides, this is only the first phase of my plan. I needed to seriously aggravate him for any of what I planned to work.”“Oh my goodness. You went after Anita, didn’t you? How could you be so stupid?” She yelled and I felt my temper rise.“Don’t call me stupid,” I said the words slowly and clearly so it would sink in.

Lazar’s POVAnita was very easy to find. I had my men locate her and they easily traced her apartment. She was hiding out in a quiet neighborhood where she lived alone.“Who are you and what do you want?” She asked when she saw me at her doorstep.“Are you really going to pretend like you don’t know me?”“I don’t know what you want from me but please I’m innocent. Tell your men to stop stalking me.”“So you do know who I am…” I smirked wickedly.“Lazar, please.” She begged. “I left that life years ago and I never looked back. Please don’t rope me back in.”“Well, your former love has refused to let sleeping dogs lie. I’m going to teach him a lesson and I need your help.”“There’s a reason I went under the radar all these years. I’ve been hiding from him. I don’t want him to know where I’m staying. I don’t even know how you found me.” She muttered the last part under her breath.I was amused by her naivety. She thought a few tricks could completely conceal her whereabouts. It was rathe
