It was already night. The house was quiet except for the soft sounds coming from the dining room. Angela and Bella were sitting at the table together, having their dinner.Bella was mixing a fresh salad in a large bowl. The green leaves looked crisp and healthy. She had added some tomatoes and cucumbers to make it more colorful."Can you pass me your plate, sweetheart?" Bella asked Angela with a gentle smile."Here you go," Angela said, sliding her plate across the table to Bella.Bella began putting some salad on Angela's plate when she heard footsteps coming toward the dining room. Killian walked into the room, looking tired from his long conversation with Nora.He went straight to the counter and picked up a bagel from the basket. He looked like he hadn't eaten anything all day."Hi, Killian," Bella said, greeting him warmly. "How was your talk with Nora? Is she feeling better?"Killian took a bite of his bagel and looked at Bella. "Nora will be fine," he said. "She just needed to

The gun went off with a loud bang that echoed through the room. Lucas gasped, his eyes going wide as the pain hit him. The sound made Bella scream, her voice high and scared."No!" Bella shouted, pulling herself away from Killian as fast as she could.Lucas fell to the ground hard, his hands going right to his stomach. Blood was already starting to show through his shirt. He pressed his hands against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.Killian walked over to where Lucas was lying. He looked calm, like shooting someone was nothing new to him. Bella watched from where she stood, her heart beating so fast she thought it might jump out of her chest."Let me see," Killian said, pushing Lucas's hands away from the wound.Lucas groaned in pain but couldn't fight back. Killian touched the spot where the bullet had gone in, looking at it like he was checking on something he had fixed.While this was happening, Bella started to feel strange. The vision she had been having came back to her m

Killian stood there for what felt like forever, his back still turned to Bella. She could feel her heart beating fast as she waited for him to say something, anything. Her hand was still on his back, and she could feel how tense he was.Finally, he turned around.When he looked at her, his face was different. The soft look from before was completely gone. Now he looked cold, like the Killian she had seen with Lucas earlier."Bella," he said, his voice hard.She looked up at him, hoping to see something kind in his eyes. But there was nothing."You're just the nanny," he said, each word coming out sharp and clear. "Don't forget that."Bella felt like someone had hit her in the stomach. She stepped back from him, her hand falling away from his back."What?" she said, her voice small."You heard me. You're here to take care of Angela. That's all.""But I thought—" Bella started to say."Stop," Killian cut her off, his voice getting louder. "Stop talking if you still want to remain here f

The apartment was small and old, with peeling paint on the walls and a musty smell that made Bella wrinkle her nose. She sat on the worn sofa next to Killian, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She couldn't stop rubbing her wrist, a nervous habit she had when she was worried."Do you really think they could be my parents?" Bella asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Killian looked at her. He could see how scared and hopeful she was at the same time. Finding her parents was all she had talked about since she got her memory back, but now that they might actually be close to answers, she looked terrified."We're not sure yet," Killian said honestly. "But the people who live here lost a five-year-old daughter about fifteen years ago. She matches your description."Bella nodded, but she kept rubbing her wrist. "What if it's not them? What if we're wrong?""Then we keep looking," Killian said."What if it is them?" Bella asked. "What if they don't want to see me? What if they've moved

Killian got up from his seat quickly, his chair scraping against the floor. The news about Lucas escaping had changed everything. Lucas was dangerous when he was contained, but now that he was free and wounded, he would be desperate. Desperate men did stupid, violent things."Find him," Killian told his man again, his voice hard and commanding. "Make sure he doesn't get to Bella.""Yes, boss," the man said, rushing out of the office.Killian ran his hands through his hair. He should have killed Lucas when he had the chance. Now Bella was out there somewhere, alone and unprotected, and Lucas knew exactly how to hurt Killian the most."We need to move fast," Killian said to himself.He grabbed his jacket and headed for the door. Every second that passed was another second Lucas could be getting closer to Bella.Meanwhile, Nora had left Killian's house and was walking toward her car when she saw someone standing beside it. A man in a nice suit was leaning against her car door, looking li
