Myles' POVTime seemed to freeze the moment that Serena's hand connected with my face. All my employees froze in shock and fear and utter disbelief that this had happened.I was shocked that she'd done this. I couldn't remember the last time I was slapped. Hell, I couldn't remember getting slapped at all, my reputation as the ice king wasn't only when I was arguing cases in court.I wanted to be angry. I wanted to start giving her a piece of myself, but then I noticed that she was crying. Her eyes were puffy and swollen with tears already welled up and were ready to fall. She had a briefcase that she was holding rather too tightly.“Who are you?” She asked amidst tears. “What have you done?!”Her questions caught me off guard, and for the first time in years, my heart beat rapidly.I turned and glared at the entire office, which had paused to watch the live drama, and everyone immediately went back to their work, but I knew their eyes were all perked and ready to hear whatever I had t

Serena's POVIt was with a broken spirit that I left Myles's office that day. I was spent, tired, and totally drained of energy. I couldn't believe the things that had happened to me in the last forty-eight hours. I couldn't believe that these things had all happened because of Myles.I stumbled out of the office and could feel everyone's eyes on me as I made my way to the entrance/exit of the building. I couldn't look up, I didn't want to see their faces, so I kept my head down as I walked.I don't know what prompted me to do so, but I finally looked up abruptly, and there he was, standing several feet away with his eyes fixed keenly on me.Damian!My blood boiled with rage when our eyes met and my hands balled into tight fists. The brat! The fool! The coward!I noticed I had slowed down and was about to stop, but then I continued on my way and was soon at the door.The receptionist was talking, saying something, maybe telling me to have a great day or whatever, but I didn't really p

Myles's POV“Geez.. sweet mother of God!”“What the hell?!”“What the fuck is that?!” The exclamations went up all over the room when I threw the briefcase open before the heads of the Hellfangs MC.“This, gentlemen, is what remains of Trevor,” I told them. They couldn't believe their ears. They couldn't believe that they'd heard the right thing, and I could tell by the surprised looks on their faces.“Jesus Christ!” Dean exclaimed. “It really is, Trevor! Look at that tattoo under his left eye!”“Has anyone been in contact with Trevor in the last 48 hours?” Bruno asked. “Why don't you ask the poor bastard?” Kennedy snapped. “He's right in front of you.”“What's left of him anyway?” Dean added.“Enough of that.” I snapped and shut down the briefcase. “We have a fallen comrade and we'll do all we can to give him a proper send off, but in the meantime, we've got an enemy to watch.”“Murphy..” Bruno growled.“Yes. The very one.” I nodded. “Seems we have a lot on our hands now, even mor

Serena's POVGasps. Actual gasps could be heard all through the courtroom following Myles's words, and believe me, I was even more shocked.Judge Poe pushed back from the bench with a small frown on his face.“I.. I’m sorry, Mr. Voss. You can’t just stroll in mid-trial and make declarations. This is highly improper...”“I’m aware of court protocol, Your Honor,” Myles cut in, already pulling out a folded document from the inside of his coat. He held it like a magician with the final card in his deck. “My Notice of Appearance was submitted this morning, timestamped by the clerk at 9:03 a.m. Section 115.20 of the New York State Criminal Procedure Law allows for a change in counsel at any point during the trial, provided the substitution does not cause undue delay. I intend to proceed immediately after recess. No delays and no obstruction.”He raised an eyebrow, almost daring the judge to push him.Judge Poe narrowed his eyes. “You’re invoking that clause mid-hearing?”“I am. And since my
