Alex’s povI have never felt this helpless in a long time.Was this it?Had I fucked this up very badly because I couldn’t wait two fucking hours? And where was Marcus or Damian or Mike? They would have noticed by now I was gone so what is taking them so long?Fuck!Footsteps echoed from deeper inside the warehouse and Havelock emerged from the shadows. He looked bruised from our previous mishap and his wrist was wrapped crudely in fabric. “You’re awake,” he said flatly.“Disappointed?” He smiled thinly. “Not yet.”Dominic stepped away from Ethan, gesturing toward me. “He’s got jokes even now.”Havelock crouched in front of me. “You should have just paid what you owed.”“I did pay.”“That isn't what I asked for! he snapped and his jaw tightened. “You know,” he said thoughtfully, “none of this would have happened if you had just minded your own business.”Ethan frowned. “What is he talking about?”He stood and began pacing slowly. “We had a beautiful thing. Dominic and I.”Dominic s

Alex’s povI don’t need to be told twice. My feet move and each step toward him feels heavier than the last.What if he pulls away?What if he looks at me and sees only the man who took a life?He looks up as I approach and for half a heartbeat, we just stare at each other. Then he stands, the blanket slips from his shoulders, falling to the ground and he closes the distance between us in quick strides.We met halfway as he crashes into me, his arms wrapping around my torso as tightly as he can manage and I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I pull him against me with my good arm, pressing his face into my shoulder. I could feel him shaking……not violently but just enough for me to feel it.“I’m so sorry, baby,” I murmured against his hair. “I’m so sorry, this is all my fault. I never should have interfered with his business to begin with and I should have handled this whole situation differently. I shouldn’t have let it get this far. I almost lost you for chris sake, I d

Alex’s povFor a moment, I think I misheard. “A what?” I ask slowly.“Mr. William Stallin,” she repeats. “He said he comes in peace and that it’s important.”Shock is too mild a word of what I felt and a cold awareness moves through me. What the fuck is he doing here? “Send him up,” I say after a beat.I set the phone down and stand. This better be good. If he is here to continue our rivalry, he has made a grave mistake coming to my home. I step into the living room just as Ethan and Lena descend the stairs, laughing about something.Lena spots me first. “Oh, Alex, good morning,” she calls brightly, moving toward me with her dramatic energy.The past few days have softened something between us. She didn’t cry once or tried to lay any blame since learning the truth about her father. Instead, she apologized profusely for ever urging Ethan to reconcile with him, for feeling like she brought trouble to our door. Ethan has waved it away.“I was just telling Ethan,” she begins, reaching me

Alex’s povI paused as his words hit me like a punch. “What are you talking about?”.William pauses and for a fraction of a second, he looks as though he has said too much. His gaze flickers toward my mother.“Mum,” I say sharply. “What is he talking about?” She looks nervous, an expression I haven’t seen on her face in years. “Mum!” “Alexander,” she says softly, stepping toward me, “I didn’t tell you because you loved him so much. You idolized him and after he died, you were shattered. I couldn’t bear to ruin his memory for you.” “Ruin what memory?” My voice rises. “What are you talking about?”“Your father wasn’t the saint you believe him to be,” William says bluntly. “He embezzled funds, retirement funds. Men who worked for him for decades were left with nothing because he siphoned money to cover reckless investments.”“That’s a lie,” I say immediately."It’s documented," William replies. “He made high risk acquisitions to hide the losses. When those failed, the company was near

Ethan’s pov“Him?” I say incredulously. “No way.”“You can’t be serious Ivy,” William said. “We always used protection, I made sure of that.”“Yeah, remember the night your boys threw you a going away party? You came to my place drunk?” My mother digs through her bag bringing out another pack of cigarettes. “We didn’t use protection then, did we? I didn’t find out myself till I was three weeks gone.” “It was just the one time. You’re certain?”She shrugged. “The timing matched. You and I were together that whole month. Havelock was never faithful enough to count days properly. He didn’t question it. At least not at first.”“At first,” I echoed.“He started to doubt when you grew older,” she went on, as if narrating a family recipe. “You didn’t look like him or built like him. He would stare at you sometimes like you were a stain he couldn’t scrub out.”The memories slammed into me. His cold eyes, the way he would grip my chin too tight. The way he would say, “You’re not right,” like
