Chapter 42RAMON"Room seven," Alex confirmed as I slid into the seat across from him. "They've been in there for forty minutes. I've seen the client—Arnold Hutchins—drunk enough that his judgment is severely impaired. Lake has been plying him with alcohol since they arrived.""Any indication of what's happening in there?""The rooms are soundproofed for privacy, but I've noted the pattern. Lake enters looking determined but afraid. Hutchins is increasingly intoxicated but still mobile. Based on the time elapsed and the client's condition, I'd estimate they're past conversation and moving toward... physical activity."The euphemism made my jaw clench. "I need access to that room.""Sir, I really don't think—""I wasn't asking for your opinion, Alex. I need visual and audio on room seven immediately, and I need it without alerting the staff or other clients. Can you make that happen or not?"Alex studied me for a long moment, clearly weighing his loyalty to me against his professional

Chapter 44RAMONEight hundred and forty-seven thousand dollars. A significant amount, but nowhere near the fifteen million Samuel had been demanding according to the partial account information Lake had entered into my banking app this morning.Which meant this wasn't over. Whatever Lake had stolen tonight was only a fraction of what he needed. He would have to do this again, and again, until he'd raised the full amount or until something went wrong.I climbed into the car where Marcus was waiting. "Home," I said. "And call Rodriguez. I want a full analysis of offshore account 4739—who owns it, where it's located, what other transactions have gone through it in the past six months. I want to know everything about where that money is going and who's demanding it.""Already on it, sir," Marcus said, pulling into traffic. "Rodriguez flagged the account the moment Alex sent through the details. It's registered to a shell corporation in the Cayman Islands, but the beneficial owner ap

Chapter 46RAMON"What if I paid Samuel?" I asked, the offer emerging before I'd fully thought it through. "What if I transferred fifteen million dollars to his account right now, tonight, and ended this? Would you accept that help?"Lake's face went through several expressions before settling on something close to horror. "No," he said immediately. "Absolutely not. I won't let you do that.""Why not? I have the money. It would barely make a dent in my net worth. And it would end this nightmare tonight, let you and Ollie actually be safe instead of constantly looking over your shoulders.""Because then I'd owe you," Lake said, his voice tight with emotion I couldn't quite identify. "Don't you understand? If you pay Samuel, if you solve this problem with your money and your power, then I'll be completely dependent on you. And when you eventually get tired of this arrangement, when you decide that a fake husband and someone else's kid aren't worth the trouble anymore—what happens to us

Chapter 48RAMON The scream tore through the early morning silence like a blade, piercing through layers of exhausted sleep and pulling me from dreams I couldn't remember. I was moving before my mind fully registered what I'd heard—that high-pitched, terrified sound that could only belong to a child in distress.Ollie.I bolted down the hallway, my heart hammering against my ribs as Elena's door flew open ahead of me. She was already rushing toward Lake's room, her nightgown billowing behind her as she moved with the kind of urgency that suggested she'd heard something worse than a simple nightmare.The door to Lake's suite stood open, and the scene inside made my steps falter even as I continued forward. Lake was on his knees beside the bed, his hands reaching toward Ollie with desperate, pleading gestures. But Ollie was backed against the headboard, his small body pressed into the corner as if he could disappear into the wallpaper, his face streaked with tears and twisted with an e

Chapter 50 RAMONHis legs gave out suddenly and I caught him, lowering us both to the shower floor as Lake's remaining composure shattered completely. He curled into my chest, his whole body shaking with sobs that seemed to come from somewhere so deep they threatened to tear him apart."He hates me," Lake whispered against my soaked shirt. "Did you hear him? He said he hates me. My baby brother, the only person in the world who's ever loved me unconditionally, and he hates me.""He doesn't hate you," I said, wrapping my arms around Lake's trembling form. "He's scared. He's five years old and he recognized scents that trigger his trauma. But he doesn't hate you.""You didn't see his face." Lake's voice was muffled against my chest. "You didn't see how he looked at me. Like I was—like I was Samuel. Like I was one of those alphas who used to come to our apartment. Like I was the monster I've spent years trying to prove I'm not."The water continued to pour over us, gradually cooling as
