Veronica’s POV"Do not leave me here alone, Veronica," Silas slurred loudly, his heavy body sagging completely against my front door frame. "I mean it. Do not walk away from me tonight.""Silas, you are completely drunk," I said, catching his solid weight before he could fall forward onto the concrete porch. The incredibly strong smell of cheap alcohol hit my face instantly."I am not drunk," he argued stubbornly, his words blending together in a very clumsy way. He gripped both of my arms with surprising strength. "I just need you to stay right here with me. I need you to listen to me.""You can barely stand up straight on your own two feet," I pointed out loudly. I quickly wrapped my arm around his thick waist and pulled him fully inside the bright hallway of the house. I kicked the heavy wooden door shut with my right foot. "What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?""Nothing is wrong with me," he complained loudly like a spoiled child. He leaned his head very heavily o

Veronica’s POV"Are you actually working with her?" I whispered completely to myself.I stood completely frozen behind the large brick pillar. Silas was still holding Danielle's hand. He was actually shaking the right hand of the very woman who insulted me yesterday.My mind filled with incredibly terrible thoughts. Was Silas betraying me this entire time? Did he set up that entire nasty confrontation at the office just to test my loyalty? Danielle went completely out of her way to say horrible crap to me. She called me a cheap gold digger in front of everyone in the corporate lobby. Now I finally knew why. Silas probably ordered her to do it. He wanted to see how I would handle the intense pressure.I felt incredibly stupid. I actually thought Silas was a better version of his cruel cousin. I thought he was honorable and kind. I was completely deluded to think he was different from Julian. They were exactly the same kind of terrible monster. They used innocent people and threw them a

Veronica’s POV"Do not make a single sound right now," Ivan whispered very sharply.He grabbed my left hand incredibly tightly. I held onto Ivan's black shirt with all the strength I had left in my body. My heart pounded wildly against my ribs. Julian was standing just twenty feet away from us in the grand lobby."Move your feet right now," Ivan ordered quietly."I cannot move at all," I whispered back in pure panic."You have to move right this second," Ivan insisted."He will see us," I argued."He is on a phone call," Ivan pointed out. "He is entirely distracted.""What if he turns around?" I asked, feeling completely terrified."He will not turn around," Ivan promised firmly.He calmly pulled me away from the golden elevator doors. We slipped quickly into a dark, empty side foyer before Julian could even turn his head."You need to breathe, Veronica," Ivan said.He pushed me gently against the smooth marble wall of the small room."I cannot breathe," I gasped out loudly."Yes you

Veronica’s POV"Why are you making such huge decisions without even asking me first?" I asked loudly.I grabbed my silk night robe quickly from the edge of the large bed. I slipped my arms into the smooth sleeves and tied the thick belt tightly around my waist. I took three large steps backward. I needed to put plenty of physical distance between me and Julian right this second."I am just trying to surprise you with something nice," Julian replied smoothly.He stayed sitting on the edge of the mattress. He looked completely relaxed under the dim blue lights of the bedroom."You do not spring a sudden trip on a busy person," I argued, crossing my arms over my chest. "You know perfectly well that I have a business to run.""Your business will survive without you for a few days," Julian said dismissively."I am manning the entire operation right now," I told him, keeping my voice very firm. "I have daily responsibilities. I have employees who need my direct approval for every single tra

Veronica's POV"Answer me right now, Veronica!" Julian's voice demanded over the loud speaker. "Why are you refusing to switch to video?"I did not know what to do at all, so I disconnected the call immediately. My fingers shook wildly as I pressed the red icon.My phone rang again instantly. Julian's name flashed across the glass screen. I pressed the power button and shoved the phone deep inside my shorts pocket.I turned around and ran back into room four twelve. My chest burned with heavy panic. I pulled at my hair with both hands as I paced across the carpeted floor."What am I supposed to do right now?" I asked out loud to the quiet room.Silas was laying completely limp on the bed where Ivan had just tossed him. He was not going to gain consciousness at any moment. His eyes were tightly shut and his face was pale.Julian's call came through again. The phone vibrated violently against my leg. He was not going to stop calling me until he saw my face.I took a deep breath. I reali
