Annabella's POV.I laid on the prison bed, my mind thinking of what had happened in the last few days. About how they arrested me right there in the hospital while Peter was still sleeping in his bed. About how they just slapped handcuffs on my wrists and dragged me out like I was some kind of monster.Now I was here in this cold gray room with nothing but my thoughts and the sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway outside. I pressed my palms against my eyes trying to stop the panic from rising in my chest but it did not work. All I could think about was Peter waking up without me there. What would he think when he opened his eyes and saw that I was gone?The door suddenly opened with a loud clang that made me jump. A guard stepped inside holding a clipboard. "You have a visitor," he said flatly.I stood up quickly. "Is it my son? Can I see Peter?"The guard shook his head. "It's someone else."He turned and walked out without waiting for me to respond. A moment later John stepped

Annabella's POV. “Annabella, you have a visitor,” One of the prison guards said. I heard the sound of heels clacking before a figure appeared in front of my cell. She was a tall woman with sharp eyes and perfectly styled gray hair pulled back into a sleek bun. She wore an expensive navy suit that screamed competence and carried a leather briefcase that looked like it cost more than most people's monthly rent. She introduced herself as Rebecca Ford, extending a manicured hand through the bars. John had hired her apparently though I had no idea when he'd had time to do that. "I've reviewed your case," Rebecca said sitting down across from me after the guard let her into the cell. She pulled out a tablet and began scrolling through documents with practiced efficiency. "The charges against you are serious but the evidence is circumstantial at best." "I don't care about the charges," I said, my voice hoarse from crying and exhaustion. "I just need to get out of here so I can find m

Annabella's POV.The heat from the flames was overwhelming even from where I had fallen several yards away. It radiated outward in waves, searing my exposed skin and making it difficult to breathe. My ears were ringing from the explosion and I could barely hear anything except a high-pitched whine that seemed to pierce directly into my brain. John was beside me, his strong hands gripping my arms as he helped me to my feet, though he looked just as disoriented as I felt. Blood trickled from a cut above his eyebrow.Emergency sirens wailed in the distance, growing louder by the second. The sound cut through the ringing in my ears, grounding me back to reality. People were screaming, running in every direction, trying to get away from the burning terminal. Some were injured, limping or being carried by others. Smoke billowed into the sky, thick and black, blotting out what was left of the sunset and casting everything in an eerie twilight."Daniel," I gasped, looking around frantically t

John's POV.The paramedics wheeled me through the emergency room doors at breakneck speed. The fluorescent lights overhead blurred into streaks of white as they rushed me down the hallway. My shoulder throbbed with every bump and turn of the gurney. The pain was sharp and constant like someone had driven a hot spike through my flesh and left it there to burn."BP is dropping," one of the paramedics said to the nurse who had appeared beside us. "We need to get him into surgery now."I tried to sit up but a firm hand pushed me back down. "Sir you need to stay still," the nurse said. Her voice was calm but I could see the concern in her eyes when she looked at the blood soaking through the makeshift bandage Annabella had wrapped around my shoulder."I need my phone," I said through gritted teeth. "Where's my phone?"The paramedic held it up. "Right here but you really shouldn't be making calls right now.""Give it to me," I demanded with more force than I intended.He hesitated then plac

ANNABELLA'S POV"So you're going to kill everyone around him until he suffers?" I asked. "That makes you just as bad as he is.""No," Vincent said firmly. "It makes me someone who understands that Daniel doesn't care about money or power or even his own life. The only thing he cares about is control. Control over his company. Control over his reputation. Control over the people in his life. So I'm going to take that control away from him piece by piece until he has nothing left."The camera switched again this time showing a different security feed. My blood turned to ice when I recognized the location. It was Mia's hospital room. She was lying in bed still unconscious from the poisoning with IVs and monitors connected to her. Standing in the corner of the room partially hidden by shadows was a figure wearing hospital scrubs."You see that man?" Vincent asked. "His name is Marcus. Not the real Marcus obviously since Daniel had him killed years ago. But this Marcus works for me. He's b
