Knox’s POVAfter I went into the office to meet with Crandon, I nodded toward the chair in front of my desk. “Hey bro, give me a sec to settle in.”He takes a seat while I open my laptop, shrug off my jacket, and set my phone beside it. “Alright,” I say, “shoot.”Crandon leans back, crossing one leg over the other. “So, we need you to head out of town in about two weeks as a representative for the forensics division to the Universal Airlines branches. You’ll start in Texas.”I raise a brow. “Texas first, well that makes sense. That’s where the biggest discrepancies are. North and South Carolina have some major ones too, and New York’s not far behind.”“Exactly,” he says. “But yeah, you’ll be focused on Texas mostly.”I nod. “Cool. Just send me the itinerary when it’s finalized. Surprised Tiffany’s not on it.”“She is,” he says with a grin. “Her and my brother are going.”“Good. Then at least I’ll have some company.” I smirk. “That it?”He pauses. There’s that shift, the one that alway

Kole’s POV Thursday MorningThe moment I walk into the building, I already know it’s going to be one of those days.The kind where tension hums through the air before I even make it to my office.Everything feels louder and faster, like the whole damn place is on edge. And maybe it’s not just the noise. Maybe it’s the meeting I’ve been dreading all week. The one that’s got my name all over it, the acquisition deal between McCormick & Co. and a handful of small restaurant chains they’re trying to fold into their empire.On paper, it’s pretty straightforward from auditing the books, cleaning up the red tape, and making sure the numbers line up. But what’s not on paper is the problem, who’s going to be in the meeting room with me.Crandon.Knox.And Sienna.I sigh as I walk up the hallway and spot my assistant, Janelle, already at her desk, tapping away. Her neat curls bounce slightly as she looks up, all smiles and calm professionalism , which is something I desperately need right now

Carmen’s POVFriday AfternoonThe meeting with the mayor finally wraps. Mayor Rogers looks like trouble with a tie and a creepy ass stare, and weird little smiles. I​m so glad to be done with him. We might have to see him again for the Evanston sustainability piece, but at least my dad is signing up to sit in on that one. Anything to keep his hands clean and mine cleaner.As I’m gathering my notes, mentally checking off the day, picturing my office and a tall glass of something strong, when a hand clamps around mine.“Can I talk to you?” Crandon says, all velvety, like his voice would solve things.I stop. I look at him straight. “Okay. Are we going to your office?” I say. He nods, too calm, but we go.His office is on the same floor as the board room. He closes and locks the door behind us, like we’re suddenly in an old 90's movie. I don’t get what he’s trying to do. I sit in the visitor's chair, clutching my portfolio the way you would hold a shield. He unbuttons and takes off his

Third Person POVThe week crawled by like a heavy fog that refused to lift. Between the chaos of deadlines, audits, and stress from Universal Airlines’ class action suite, Sienna was drained. Her brother Stephen and Carmen were constantly at her home, but it doesn’t matter because she stayed buried in work at the office, trying to keep up with Knox’s absence.Knox had flown out to Texas for two weeks with Tiffany and her brother, Silas, to conduct a massive audit on Universal Airlines’ southern branches. The project was high stakes, and millions are on the line, reputations on the edge, and though Knox trusted Sienna completely with the massive workload, he hated being away. Especially now with this stalker and pregnancy going on.Sienna was juggling three different projects, including the McCormick account and the restaurant acquisitions deal. Her mind stayed busy, but her body carried exhaustion like armor. Every night, she locked up her office, double-checked her doors, and told he

Explicit Scenes Ahead Talks of attempted rape and abuseSienna’s POVFriday NightYou know that state when you’re half awake, half asleep, when your mind knows something’s wrong, but your body won’t respond? That’s me right now. I can feel everything, but I can’t move. It’s like my soul is screaming for me to wake up, but my body won’t listen.I feel myself being dragged, my head lolling to the side, my arms hanging uselessly. My legs scrape the floor, catching on the edge of a rug, then lift as I’m slung over someone’s shoulder. My stomach turns with every step, sounds of heavy boots, uneven, hurried. Whoever this is, he’s strong.A cold rush hits my skin, and I hear a soft rip, it was the unmistakable sound of fabric tearing. My dress. The split in the back must’ve caught or… been pulled. Either way, I feel air on my skin where it shouldn’t be, then a hard slap on my ass then hard massaging. I want to move. I want to scream. But nothing works. My body stays limp while my mind spira
