031: Jonathan Reed

~Ava's POV~"He's been talking to someone about hurting Dominic. Like actually hurting him."That was Lily. But first, Dominic and I had to sit with a name that connected fourteen years of damage into a single straight line.*****He stared at the page for a while."Jonathan Reed." Just the name. Quiet, the way he spoke, it hit me hard, but he barely made a sound."You know him?" I asked."I knew of him." He dropped the file down slowly. "When my father was charged, he needed a criminal defense attorney immediately. Someone in his network recommended Reed. Told him he was the best in the city." A pause. "My father trusted the referral, and also he trusted Reed.""And?""Reed took the case. Worked it for three months. Then withdrew three days before trial." His jaw shifted. "He cited a conflict of interest.""Three days before trial," I said."My father didn't have time to find someone else. The public defender they assigned him had the file for seventy-two hours." He looked at the ci

032: Lily at the Door

~Ava's POV~"What if she was sent here?” I stood there, asking myself.I took the phone from her hand without saying anything.Lily watched me, not speaking either. That alone was different. The Lily I knew filled silences. She performed into them, shaped them, used them. This version just stood there and let me read.The messages were between Damien and someone unnamed. They seemed random, like they were meant to look harmless if someone saw them. Short sentences, no names, nothing suspicious at a glance.But I'd spent weeks learning to read the language underneath, and I read it clearly.‘Needs to be removed. Permanent. Before the acquisition.’I read it twice. Then I scrolled up and down, building the full shape of the conversation. The timing. The urgency that had been building over the past two weeks. The specific phrase before the acquisition was used three times in three different messages.This was about money. Damien was broke and desperate, and whatever remained of his finan

033: Close Enough to Lose Control

~Ava's POV~Jonathan Reed is the thread connecting everything, Dominic's father, Damien's money, the fake estate injunction, and now what looks like a threat to Dominic's safety.I, Dominic, and Colt spend the night building a consolidated case map. Lily is moved to a private suite in the tower, not out of affection but because she's safer inside and useful as a witness. Dominic makes the logistics call without involving me because they've reached that point of wordless efficiency.The room feels charged. Tired and sharp at the same time. Empty coffee cups and marker-covered whiteboards.At some point around 2am, I looked at the board and said, "We're close."“Yes." Dominic replied not looking up."Like actually close. Not just-making-progress close. This-could-end close."He looks over. "How do you feel about that?"I honestly thought about it honestly. "Terrified.""Because?""Because revenge was the shape of everything for a while. When it's done, what's the shape after?"He puts

034: The Moment We Stopped Pretending”

~Ava’s POV~Say it, Ava,” Dominic growled, his eyes locked onto mine. “Tell me what you really want from me right now”“I want you, Dominic. Just fuck me already.”There. I said it.I had no intention of waiting any longer. I wanted this for so long, needed it and my patience was gone. The last real time I had this was with Damien. We did it at a birthday party. Then, I didn't really want it. But right now, I need it. And also Dominic wants the same.Dominic, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy my plea. A wider, more intense smirk spread across his face as he shook his head slowly.“My lady, don’t be in a hurry. Let me…”Whatever he was about to say vanished when a sharp gasp tore from my throat, followed by a deep moan.He wasn’t surprised. He’d shifted my panties aside while he spoke, sliding two fingers into me, hot, slow, deliberate.“Dominic…remember.”My body shuddered in a way words couldn’t explain. Everything felt good. Too good. And I wanted more.“Yh…I remember. But it seems

035: The Moment We Stopped Pretending (ll)

~Ava's POV~The way Dominic's eyes drank me in, hot, ravenous, unapologetically full of lust made my skin feel like it was on fire. There was a shy flutter deep inside me, but beneath it was something darker, heavier, a molten heat pooling between my thighs.I could feel my arousal seeping out of me, warm and slick with need, my love juice, as I called it in my head. The sensation made my legs tremble, my core throbbing with anticipation.Dominic seemed to sense it instantly.He leaned in close, his breath fanning over my skin. Then he inhaled softly, eyes fluttering shut as he took in my scent, letting it sink into him.Without warning, he dipped his head between my parted thighs, and I gasped.His tongue made contact, one long, slow lick along my sensitive folds and the sensation shot straight up my spine. My back arched on instinct as I moaned his name.“Dominic…”It came out breathy. Desperate.He didn’t pause.His lips kissed, his tongue explored me thoroughly, lavishing attentio

036: The Moment We Stopped Pretending (lll)

~Ava's POV~I let out a guttural scream, my eyes flying open in shock as Dominic’s cock breached my entrance, stretching me with an intensity. My voice sounded cracked, raw and uninhibited and my entire body trembled from the sheer force of what I was feeling.He silenced my desperate cry by pressing his mouth to mine, swallowing my moans as my nails dug into his shoulders, clinging to him like he was my only anchor in a storm of overwhelming pleasure.“Ooohhh… fuck.”My legs twitched as my body adjusted to his size, my chest rising and falling in sharp, uneven breaths. “Oh my fucking goodness…Dominic”He kissed my cheek gently, the tenderness a stark contrast to the wild way he was moving inside me. Slowly, he pulled back, his cock slipping halfway out of my tight, slippery warmth. I could feel my slickness coating him, pooling onto the sheets beneath us, soaking the linen with undeniable proof of how aroused I was.I panted hard, lashes fluttering, moisture gathering at the corners

037: Red Ink

~Ava's POV~“Who could have sent a photo with these written words? “Last warning.”We both have no idea.I looked at the photo Lily was holding for a long moment.Then I took it from her and turned it over.The same red ink, the same handwriting. The same person who had written on the photograph from Walsh's dinner, the same person who had been marking our moves like checkpoints on a map.‘Last warning.’I stood there, thinking about everything.The first message came after I signed the contract, the second after I met Victor. The photo at Walsh's dinner came after Lily arrived at the Tower. And now this one, the morning after everything that had happened between Dominic and me in my room.Someone was tracking decision points. Every time something significant shifted, they left a mark."Go back, and lock the door. Don't open it for anyone but me." I warned Lily.She nodded once, and left, no fight. That alone told me how scared she was,more than words.I went to find Dominic immediate

038: Too Close

~Ava's POV~I sat with it for sixty seconds.That's all I did to myself. Sixty seconds of facing it, every secret drive, every appointment I'd thought was hidden, every quiet errand with my head down. The clinic where I'd sat thinking I was being careful. The route to Victor's meeting. All of it.He'd been there, in the front seat. Watching. "The prenatal appointment. The route I took to meet Victor. All of it.""All of it," he confirmed.Then we moved.The driver was gone, Colt grilled him hard. Dominic brought in two new security guards, no connections, and questioned them himself.I watched him do all of it and said nothing.*****The next morning I came downstairs with my bag and found Dominic standing close to the elevator in his coat, keys in hand.I looked at the keys. Then at him."What are you doing?""Taking you wherever you need to go today.""I have appointments.""I know. I read your schedule."I stared at him. "You read my schedule.""I had access. I used it." He presse

039: Her Parents War

~Ava's POV~"She always had a plan.” I was whispering that to myself as I read it.I read the affidavit three times.Not because I didn't understand it. I understood it on the first read. I read it three times because each pass through it revealed a different layer, and I needed all of them before I could say anything.My mother had been building an exit for years. Not from the family. From Silas. Quietly, without a single person knowing, she had been documenting and collecting and waiting. Choosing Reed as her vehicle. Using Damien, not to hurt me, but to get close to information she needed for herself. Information that would protect her when she finally decided she'd had enough.Twenty-six years of marriage. Twenty-six years of watching my father destroy people, manipulate systems, ruin lives with the specific patience of a man who'd never once been held accountable for any of it.And she'd been taking notes.I put the affidavit down on the table."She knew about Richard Adams," "Y

040: Direct Threat

~Ava's POV~He'd threatened me directly.Silas Hale communicated in implication. Always had. He never said ‘ Iwill destroy you.’ He said things like ‘I'd hate for this to become complicated’ and *You know how these situations tend to resolve themselves.* The threat lived in the space between the words, deniable, elegant, the way everything he did was deniable and elegant.He had just put the threat in plain language.Which meant something had scared him badly enough to drop the performance.I played the call back for Dominic immediately. He stood with his arms crossed and listened to the whole thing. His expression the flat, careful kind that meant he was absorbing and processing simultaneously.When it ended he was quiet."He knows about Reed's offer," Dominic was looking at me."How?""Walsh. Walsh is still talking to someone, or he never stopped." He moved to the table. "Or Reed's office has a leak. Someone on his legal team.""Or my mother told him herself, as a defensive move. To
