“Uncle Damien?” Her voice was small.Still nothing.She tried the door. It opened easily. It was empty.A presence moved behind her.She started to turn—A cloth slammed over her mouth and nose. Chemical sweetness flooded her lungs. She thrashed once, twice, then the world tilted and went black.Jack delivered her to the luxurious cabin exactly as instructed.It was secluded, an hour from the city but buried deep enough that no one would stumble across it by accident. Damien paid the man in cash as he had requested, thick stacks that disappeared into a black bag without a word. Jack grunted in appreciation. He glanced once at the unconscious woman he had lain on the couch, and left.Damien carried Lily to the master bedroom. She weighed almost nothing in his arms. He laid her gently on the wide bed, and pulled the duvet over her. God, she was beautiful like this. Peaceful.When she woke she was going to be a storm. He knew it. But he was ready. He had acquired handcuffs that sat on th

Lily looked away but didn’t answer.Finally she said: “Yes.”Damien stepped closer. “Are you in love with Dax… or do you just see him like a brother?”She still wouldn’t meet his eyes.He took her other wrist gently, thumbs stroking her skin. “Are you in love with me?”Lily’s gaze snapped up. She stared at him for a long, long time. Her throat worked but she didn’t answer.His one hand rose to caress her cheek. Then he asked again, tone softer.. “Lily. Are you in love with me?”She pulled free, resigned. She walked to the couch and sat. After a moment she nodded once.Damien’s smile was automatic. He crossed the room and crouched in front of her, hands settling on her knees and sliding up her thighs in a gentle caress.“Dax will be alright,” he said. “It will eat him alive. Of course it will. But the knowledge that his wife is pregnant with his father’s baby instead of his? That would destroy him. Melanie and Lucien would never forgive us for this. For any of it.”Lily’s voice came ou

Edna was no pushover. She was no fucking doormat you could shove aside and tell to shut up and stay quiet. And she was going to make goddamn sure the Ross-Gallaghers learned that lesson the hard way. She was going to make sure Damien and his little red haired whore knew exactly who the fuck they were dealing with. No one in this world trampled on her and got away with it.Damien had made certain she was cut loose from every company that R&G Tech worked with. Every single one she had built relationships with long before she ever met him. In other words, not only had he broken her heart, he had made sure she was jobless too. Of course he had thrown her a generous severance check but he hadn’t bothered telling any of those firms to give her a real recommendation. Nothing that would open a door worth walking through. And here they all were, smiling and winning at life like they weren’t a nest of twisted, incestuous fucks. All of them. She hated them. Every last one. And she was going to d

The glass walled estate that was meant to host the wedding looked like a mausoleum by mid morning. White chairs sat in perfect rows under a canopy of pale flowers that would never see a bride. Guests arrived in clusters of silk and tailored suits, only to be met at the gate by pale faced staff and the low murmur of disaster.Lily Gallagher had been kidnapped.Some turned their cars around immediately, murmuring something about bad omens and polite regrets. But most did not. They followed the convoy of black SUVs back to the Gallagher house, drawn by the same morbid gravity that makes people slow down at accident scenes. The living room and foyer filled with expensive perfume and anxious whispers. Police officers moved through the crowd taking statements, their notepads already half filled with the same answers.“Did Miss Gallagher mention speaking to anyone unusual in the days leading up to the wedding?”“No.”“Any recent arguments? Old lovers? Anyone who might have held a grudge?”“N

He ended the call and walked back into the main room. Dax and Lucien stood near the fireplace. Dax’s gaze tracked him.“Your lady friend?” Dax asked.Damien nodded once.“She seems to make you happy.”Another nod.Lucien pulled him aside, voice pitched for privacy. “It’s time to cash in that favor with Matteo. His people find ghosts better than these fucking cops.”Damien didn’t hesitate. “Let me go to him.”“We should go after this—”“No.” Damien’s tone was final. “Only one of us touches that side of the world. If it ever comes back on the company, only one of us get to go down. Me.”Lucien searched his face. “You’re sure?”“You’ve got more to lose than I do right now.”Lucien exhaled and clapped him once on the shoulder. “You’re good to me, brother.”Damien left immediately. He did not drive toward Matteo’s compound that was four towns and seven hours away in the opposite direction. He drove straight to the cabin.The steel shutters were down when he arrived. He video called Lily fr

Damien pressed his back against the rough wooden wall of the cabin. His chest heaved as he tried to force air into his lungs. The sharp sting in his left shoulder barely registered. It was just a graze, a torn sleeve sticky with a thin line of blood. Beside him, Lily sat slumped, her breathing shallow. Outside, the forest had gone quiet. There were no more cracks of gunfire. Or footsteps.He strained his ears. The shooter could be anywhere, waiting for them to step out again. If only there were security cameras around the property so he could make out where this shooter was. He hated himself for not having them deployed on his first visit here.“Unc… uncle…” Lily’s voice was thin. “I… think… something’s wrong.”Damien turned.Her hands were pressed tight against her torso. Between her fingers, dark red bloomed outward, spreading fast across the fabric of the shirt. More of it had already soaked downward, pooling between her thighs and dripping onto the floorboards. For a full second h

Three to four hours was how long the surgery was going to take.Damien stood in the middle of the waiting area, barefoot, both his slacks and the front of his button up shirt stiff and dark with Lily’s blood. A nurse approached him with a folded set of scrubs to change into and a small kit to clean the graze on his shoulder. He shook his head without looking at her as he rejected her advances.“I just want her to be okay.” He kept telling the nurse. “Please let her be okay.”He couldn’t stop pacing the hallway. Every time a nurse or doctor passed, he stepped into their path.“How is she?”“She’s still in surgery, sir. We’ll update you when we can.”The adrenaline that had carried him this far began to drain. His legs felt hollow. He sank into one of the plastic chairs and dropped his head into his hands. The same two words circled endlessly inside his skull.Please let her live. Please let her live. Please let her live.When the doors finally opened again, a surgeon in blood fleck

Damien worked through the cabin like a man possessed. He scrubbed every surface, every corner, every drop of blood that stained a surface . He cleaned until his hands ached and the water in the sink ran clear. Bullet holes pocked the walls and the shattered window gaped like an open wound he had no way to fix. Glass glittered across the floorboards. He could hide the worst of it, but DNA was another matter entirely. There was too much of it, and no amount of bleach would guarantee it was gone.As he stood in the middle of the spotless living room, he realized he needed a specialist who would come in and erase any trace of DNA and evidence before the police came over. Which meant he could have to call Matteo again.Matteo answered immediately. “Keep calling me like this and I’ll assume we’re friends.”“I need your help,” Damien said ignoring him entirely. “I need someone who can wipe DNA out of a cabin.”An amused laugh rolled through the line. “What have you been up to, naughty boy?

Dax rejoined them in the hallway with a grim set to his mouth and red rimmed eyes.“She says she doesn’t remember,” he said. His voice was flat, scraped raw. “Not what happened that day. Not even the events of the day before. Nothing.”Melanie’s hand flew to her mouth.She, Lucien, and Liam stepped past Damien and disappeared into the room again. The door clicked shut behind them.Dax stayed where he was. He leaned his head against the wall, closing his eyes. The harsh fluorescent lights made him look older. Damien crossed the short distance and put a hand on his shoulder.“I lost my baby, Dad.”The words came out in a whisper thick with emotion. Dax’s throat worked. “Someone killed my child. I was this close to becoming a father.”His face crumpled. The tears came hard and silent at first, then with the broken sound of a man who had been holding the dam together with nothing but will.Damien pulled him into a hug. “Hey. Hey. It’s okay.”Dax cried against his shoulder, his body shakin

Damien was still asleep on the couch, one arm flung over his eyes, the other hanging off the edge. She stared at him. Tears gathered and slipped down her temples into her hair. Rage moved through her like slow poison.If he hadn’t come up with that stupid plan to stop the wedding by kidnapping her, she would still have her baby. She would still have the chance to have more. Instead she had a scarred uterus and an empty future.She hated him.As if the force of her venomous stare had reached him even in sleep, Damien stirred. His arm dropped and his eyes opened. He saw her awake and was on his feet in an instant, pulling a chair closer to the bed. He took her hand carefully, mindful of the IV, and brushed his other hand across her forehead.“Hey. You’re awake.”Lily’s voice was still raspy but cold .“What did you tell them?”Damien’s fingers stilled against her skin. The tone caught him off guard. He opened his mouth and nothing came out.She repeated it calmly. “What did you tell the
