SerenaI needed to reach Frank somehow. Sitting in that house with nothing to occupy my hands was becoming unbearable, especially knowing Evelyn was still out there breathing.It had been almost a week."So Julian still hasn't brought her to me," I muttered to the empty room as I paced the length of the sitting room. "A whole week, and I'm supposed to sit here waiting for everything to fall into place so I can finally get my life back?"I needed something to keep myself busy.I began searching through the cabinets in the study, opening one drawer after another. I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I simply needed something to do.That was when I found a folder tucked against the back of the bottom drawer.I pulled it out and opened it.Inside were documents, photographs, and an investigation report with a name printed clearly across the top.Leo Hart.I lowered myself onto the chair and turned the pages slowly.There were photographs of a little boy, paperwork comparing date

EvelynIt was obvious he hated me.Every look he gave me, every moment of distance, the way he had pulled away when I kissed him as though I had burned him, broke me in ways I couldn't begin to describe.But I wasn't going to give up.I made that decision the morning after the kiss. I lay in my separate room, staring at the ceiling while the house gradually came to life. Leo's laughter drifted down the hallway, where Julian was probably taking him through the morning routine I had always handled.If Julian intended to keep his distance, I would close it without making my intentions obvious.After breakfast, a member of the staff approached me about the week's grocery order."Ms. Hart, what would you like on the menu this week?"I smiled."Ask Mr. Julian. Whatever he decides works for me."She blinked in surprise before nodding and walking off to find him.I watched her leave, keeping my expression perfectly neutral. Did she think I was now the woman of the house?Small things.If Juli

JulianI came out of Leo's room and saw Evelyn stepping away from the side table where I had left my phone, and my stomach dropped before she even turned around.She was calm, too calm.She looked up when she heard me and smiled, the kind of smile that gave nothing away.“Goodnight Julian.” She walked to her room quietly. I stood in the corridor and watched her door close and then crossed to the side table and picked up my phone.The text was still on the screen.“Everything is ready, we just need her there.”I looked at the preview and at the angle from which she had been standing and did the calculation and felt cold move through me."Damn it," I muttered.But she had said nothing, shown nothing, and I could not tell if that meant she had not seen it or if she had seen it and was doing exactly what I would do in her position, keeping it close and saying nothing and waiting.I did not sleep well.The next morning I came downstairs to find Evelyn already in the kitchen, her hair tied

FrankI was not going to lose Serena to this bloody war, not to Charlie, and certainly not to anyone else.I drove away from the house with her words still echoing in my mind. The way she had looked at me when she asked about the child. That particular look she wore whenever she already knew the answer and was simply waiting to see whether I would lie to her. I had lied anyway because what else was I supposed to do? Tell her the truth and watch everything unravel?I needed a drink.I pulled into the first bar I found, pushed through the door, dropped heavily onto a stool, and looked at the man behind the counter."The strongest thing you have."He poured the drink without asking a single question.I finished the first glass faster than I should have and pushed it forward for another. The man beside me glanced over briefly before looking away. I stared at the bottles lined up behind the counter and thought about Serena's face, Julian's dismissiveness, and the particular exhaustion of

CharlieThe workers had started looking at me in a way that made me uncomfortable, but at the same time, I did not seem to care.I walked into the office that morning and stopped at my secretary's desk. She looked up, and something flickered across her face before she quickly composed herself."Good morning," I said. "What's on the schedule today?"She blinked. "Sir... are you okay?""Yes," I replied. "I'm fine. Just brief me.""Of course, sir." She straightened in her chair. "I'll put everything together and bring it to you right away."I nodded and walked past her into my office, closing the door behind me.It was as though they had all hoped not to see me again. Or, at the very least, they had not prepared themselves for the possibility that I might show up one morning and carry on as though everything was normal.It wasn't.But I was not about to give anyone the satisfaction of watching me fall apart behind my own desk.Serena's breakdown had been the worst thing to happen to this
