POV ClariceMy eyes stayed fixed on the door, waiting for the moment it would open and I’d see Frank walk through it. I never imagined I’d miss Frank this much, let alone ache to see him this desperately.Ever since our last conversation, I couldn’t stop thinking about him, about the words he’d said to me, unable to find a moment of rest.After three years working side by side to find my daughter, it felt strange hearing him say he didn’t want to see me anymore.It had been unsettling watching him confess he was in love with me.I tried to push that last part away, even though it was hard, facing Frank again, knowing exactly how he felt about me. The very last thing I wanted was to hurt him for not feeling the same way back.Frank could be unbearable sometimes, but he was a brilliant detective, and he’d been the only real friend I’d had these past few years.I couldn’t let him go.The door handle turned, and I’d been staring at that exact spot for so long I thought I’d imagined it, bu

POV ClariceA nervous laugh escaped my throat, tearing it in two."It's just a coincidence," I tried to stop laughing, but couldn't.

I squeezed my eyes shut. I wanted to disappear, or better yet, make Gabriel disappear. I was stretching the rope, knowing that sooner or later it was going to snap right in my face."Speaking of Charlotte, I told her we got married."I spun around to look at him, impatient. My feelings were raw; a mix of fear, doubt, and indignation al

POV ClariceThe air inside the private jet was hard to breathe. Charlotte slept beside me so beautifully that not even the turbulence could make me look away from her, not for a single second.When I told her I was her mother, how would she react?I turned that thought over for far too long while the silence on the plane felt unsettling. Everyone was asleep except me.My stomach twisted into a tight knot when I looked at Gabriel. He didn’t look anything like the ruthless CEO I used to hear about in the circles I moved in back when I was a major businesswoman. He was unlike anything I could have imagined.I needed this marriage as much as he did, and surely we both believed it would be nothing more than a contract, but my eyes had been resting on him far too long, watching his chest rise and fall, remembering the countless times he’d been kind and tender with me, a foolish smile spreading across my face.Exactly as it was happening right now.I shook my head nervously the moment I real
