Knox’s POVAs I called my dad and he picked up, I tried to keep my voice steady. “Dad, can you send the private jet?”He immediately picked up on the tension. “What happened, son?”I swallowed hard and told him everything that went down with Sienna from the call with the detective, the attack, and Sienna being in the hospital.“Shit, Knox, are you serious?” my dad said, disbelief lacing his tone.“Yes, Dad,” I said, pacing the room. “I don’t even know how to tell Kira and Martin. I’m afraid to.”“Afraid? Why?” he asked. “This doesn’t have shit to do with them, son. I mean, yeah, Kira and Martin are married, and that makes him their brother-in-law by association, but he’s a fucking creep son. Screw him.”I sighed, rubbing my forehead. “Dad, my mind is all messed up right now. All I’m thinking about is Sienna, the baby, and getting my ass back to Chicago without exploding.”“I get it,” he said softly. “I’ll call Jonah and have him get the plane ready. It’ll take him about three hours t

Knox’s POVAs Jonah pulls the jet into O’Hare’s private terminal, I glance at the clock on my phone and it's 3:02 a.m. I exhale hard, dragging a hand over my face. The hospital probably won’t even let me in this late.But I don’t care. I’m going anyway.When the cabin door opens, that thick Chicago air hits me, cool and sharp.“Jonah,” I say, shaking his hand, “thank you for doing this so last minute. I’ll send you something extra for the trouble.”He shakes his head. “No need, boss. When family’s in trouble, you just get there, and they're just glad you made it safe.”I nod, appreciating him more than words can say, then climb down the stairs. A waiting cart whisks me to the hangar where my car sits parked right next to Tiffany’s. I toss my bag in the back seat, start the engine, and head straight for Loyola Hospital in Maywood.At this hour, the roads are ghosted, only just semis, cops watching for drunks, and the occasional lonely pair of headlights cutting through the dark. I make

Knox’s POVAs we sat there eating our soup and sandwiches, Alex walked in. I greeted him first, then my girl stood up and hugged him, only after asking my permission, of course. I smiled at that because it just meant she respected me and loved me even more.When Alex sat down, he looked very serious. “Well, yes, I have something important to tell you. The fingerprints from three of the previous assault and rape cases came back positive for Derrick, aka Lanton.”We were both shocked that it was actually him, even though deep down, it wasn’t a total surprise. We’d all had some kind of gut feeling about that man.“So how do you even know this?” I asked. “You don’t work in that precinct. You’re in Chicago, and he was booked in Oak Park.”Alex leaned back, rubbing his jaw. “Technically, yeah, I work for the city of Chicago, but Oak Park falls under the same county. I can access the county records and see what’s going on. I checked this morning and the fingerprints do match. It’s going to b

Knox’s POVAs I bent down to help a sobbing Jennifer onto the couch, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. This woman truly believed her husband was her entire life, and that she couldn’t function without him, and now she was breaking down right in front of us.I looked over at Kira. “She needs to calm down,” I said quietly. “We have to help her calm down because she’s still pregnant.”Kira nodded. “Yeah, we do.”She sat beside Jennifer and rubbed her back gently. Jennifer’s words tumbled out in a rush.“I don’t know what I’m going to do, sis. I don’t have anything. The house is in both our names, but the cars and everything else... I don’t know how I’m going to pay for it. I’m lost. I have the kids, how am I going to raise them by myself? I just don’t know.”Kira’s voice softened. “You keep forgetting you have us. We’ll help you as much as we can. I know I work full-time and so does Martin, but you’ve got your parents. You’ve got your younger sister, I know she’s away at college, b

Anonymous POV Monday morning arrived like a storm Sienna had been dreading all weekend. Her chest felt heavy, like a damn boulder pressing down, as she blinked awake to the faint light pushing through the curtains. Today was the day. The arraignment. The first step in what was supposed to be justice for everything Derrick had done.She turned her head and caught Knox just… staring at her.Sienna frowned sleepily. “Why are you looking at me like that?”Knox smiled softly but tiredly. “I like watching you sleep peacefully.”She snorted, fighting a grin. “Peaceful? You mean drooling and tossing all night?”He leaned closer, brushing his thumb against her cheek. “You’re beautiful even when you drool.”Sienna rolled her eyes but smiled anyway. She leaned in to kiss him, and he jerked his head back, grimacing playfully. “Yuck. Morning breath.”She smacked his arm. “Boy, please. Yours isn’t minty fresh either.”He laughed, rubbing his jaw. “Come on, let’s get ready. It's a big day.”They g
