Third Person's POV The house was tense and heavy. Like something was about to explode.Anna stood in the middle of the living room, her arms crossed tightly.Her phone was still in her hand.The news still fresh.The Ryder scandal, the investigations.Her father paced back and forth. “I knew it!” he suddenly shouted. I knew something was wrong with that family!”Anna rolled her eyes slightly, already irritated. “You always say that after things go bad,” she muttered.Her father turned sharply. “What did you just say?”Anna sighed loudly. “I said you always act like you knew everything from the beginning.”His face darkened.“Watch your tone, Anna!” he snapped.She let out a dry laugh. “No, you watch yours.”That did it.“You ungrateful girl!” he shouted. “Look at the mess you’re in now! Look at the family you tied yourself to!”Anna’s expression hardened instantly.“Oh, now it’s my fault?” she fired back.“Yes, it is!” he yelled. “I warned you about rushing into things! About that Li

Nicole’s POV.I had volunteered to get us something to quickly wart.I adjusted the grocery bags in my hands as I walked slowly toward the apartment.The streetlights had just come on.Zara had also asked me to get a few things.My hand moved unconsciously to my stomach.A small breath left my lips. The sound of a car engine broke the silence.I didn’t think much of it at first.Cars passed all the time.But this one slowed down. My steps slowed too. Something felt off.I turned slightly. It was a black van.It stopped right beside me.My heart skipped. “Maybe they’re just asking for directions,” I told myself.The door slid open.Everything happened too fast..A hand grabbed me hard. “Hey—!”The grocery bags dropped instantly.Things scattered across the ground.“Let go of me!” I screamed.Another hand covered my mouth.“Stay quiet!” a rough voice snapped.Panic exploded inside me..I struggled, kicked and fought. But they were stronger.“Help—!” my voice came out muffled.No one ans

Third Person's POV Leo leaned against the cold brick wall of the warehouse, his eyes sharp, scanning everywhere.His men lingered nearby, silent and alert, but he waved one forward, signaling him away from the others. He needed this conversation private,.Liam and Marianna couldn’t hear a word.“Closer,” he hissed under his breath, and the man obeyed, stepping toward him, careful to stay unseen.“Listen carefully,” Leo said, his voice low and dangerous. “No one goes back alive. You hear me? No mistakes. No one escapes this. Not Liam, not Marianna, not anyone else who dares stand against me.”The man swallowed hard, nodding quickly. “Yes, boss. I understand. But… are we going to wait for them to make a move first?”Leo’s eyes narrowed, a shadow of fury crossing his face. “No. We act on my orders. You wait for my signal, and then you move. You follow me, you do exactly what I say, or you’ll be next.”His words carried the weight of steel. The man’s hands trembled slightly, but he manag

The moment Loeo got distracted by one of his guards, I immediately sent the signal.We heard gun shots from outside and before anyone could say anything, bullets cracked through the air, ricocheting off metal beams and crates and the sharp stench of gunpowder burned my nostrils. I lunged toward Nicole, ignoring the pain in my ribs from the accident.. Each step was agonizing, every heartbeat hammering in my ears, but I couldn’t let her stay there helpless and exposed. My hands shook as I fumbled with the ropes cutting across her wrists. She flinched as another bullet hit the floor near us, making the concrete crack and splinter.“Adrian! Be careful!” Nicole hissed, her voice tight with fear, Frank was already in motion, he was able to pick up a gun for one of the people that got shot. He corked the gun, moving like a predator to cover us. I saw him shoot, duck, shoot again, all the while keeping an eye on the corners of the warehouse. He had this way of moving, calculating, keeping

Nicole's POV Seven months… Seven whole months of carrying this little life inside me, and here I was, about to finally graduate. My stomach was undeniably big now, a constant reminder of the tiny person growing inside, and every little kick made me smile and squirm in my seat. I looked down at it and laughed quietly, feeling Adrian’s hand slide across my lap, resting just above the curve of my belly. His touch was gentle, protective, and warm, the kind of touch that reminded me, even after everything we’d been through, that love could be calm and safe too.Leo and Liam died, Marianna and Mr Hargreaves was arrested, Marianna committed suicide after two months of imprisonment. The James company faced backlash for being a fraudster. While Adrian slowly rebuilt his own company.“Nicole! You’re staring at that belly like it’s about to sprout wings and fly away!” Zara laughed from across the table, her bright energy filling the room. She waved a forkful of salad around, pretending to
