The weekend had arrived before I knew it. It had been a full week since I received those DNA results and last saw any of the Blackwood brothers. It wasn’t as though I was actively avoiding them; our paths simply hadn’t crossed. Aaron had my car delivered back to the house a couple of days ago, and according to his text, they had thoroughly cleaned it out. When I asked for details, I found out my car really had been bugged. Gale had a tracker planted inside, which explained how he found me at the mall back then. I thought I would feel some type of way when it was confirmed, but I was just numb to it all. I expected nothing from him anymore, so I guess I couldn't be more disappointed than I already was. So yes, that was the only contact I had with Aaron. As for Caleb, he texted me from time to time as usual just to check up on me, but like I said, we had no reason to meet. There was no new information to share and nothing pressing to talk about.

"All I will say is this: keep your eyes on us from now on. Whether we rise or fall, we leave it to the public to judge." "And to our shareholders," Aaron added, stepping forward to share the mic. "This expansion has been in the works for a very long tim

Aaron’s POV “The blood staining her hands was the first thing I noticed, even before I registered a single word coming out of her mouth.” I had never imagined seeing Evelyn here today, and even worse, I never expected to see her in this state... and it was all because of him. "Let’s get you taken care of first before we talk about anything else, please," I breathed, taking her by the arm and guiding her inside. I had so many questions and so much anger rising up my throat, but I clenched my jaw tight and held her close, walking her straight toward the living room. We were almost there when Caleb approached from the side hallway, his eyes widening in instant shock the second he saw us. "Help me pick up her phone at the door before you say anything," I cut in sharply before he could get a single word out. He gave a fast, solemn nod and jogged toward the entrance immediately. The moment we stepped into the sitting area, Darren stood up from the couch. His dark eyes locked onto mi
