MARILYN“Your fiancé was caught in bed with another woman.” The detective’s voice was flat and cold. “When her husband walked in on them, Bernard killed him.”I froze in the middle of the precinct hallway, the words striking hard enough to steal my breath.My head spun and the corridor blurred at the edges.“No…” I clutched the cold metal railing. “Bernard wouldn't do that.”The detective gave me a look of pity before turning away and walking down the hall.Caught in bed with another woman.Then Bernard killed him.Those words kept repeating in my mind.Tears slipped down my cheeks, feeling hot on my skin.The heavy doors at the end of the hall pushed open and my sister, Evelyn, rushed toward me.“Marilyn, what happened?” She grabbed my shaking shoulders, her face full of deep worry. “What did the detective tell you?”“Evelyn…” My voice broke. “He told me Bernard was having an affair. He believes Bernard killed the woman’s husband because they were caught having sex.”“What?” Evelyn p

MARILYNThe corporate headquarters of Reign Conglomerate was less a building and more a monument to absolute power.Rising fifty stories above the skyline, the tower dominated the financial district like a monolith of glass, casting its shadow over every rival empire in the city.Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entire metropolis, making the space feel like a glass castle suspended in the sky, looking down on everything and everyone below.I clutched the manila envelope to my chest, its sharp corners pressing into my ribs through my thin blazer.My best friend Chloe worked as a corporate consultant and pulled every string she had to get me past the tight security at the entrance and into this fortress.'He is cold-hearted and completely ruthless. He never does anything for free. You absolutely can’t go near that man.'Her warning still rang in my ears.But Bernard's frantic plea drowned her out. 'Agree to anything. Save my life.'At the side of the sprawling, obsidian-floored l

MARILYNSilence filled the office.Conall Reign’s gaze didn’t linger on me for a second longer. His focus returned to the file on his desk, turning the pages as though I were a draft of something he had already decided not to read.I stayed where I was.The longer I waited the smaller I became, until the whole room seemed to be tilting its head at me."Mr. Reign—""Sit!” His voice echoed through the room, smooth and dark, without a trace of warmth.That one syllable had my legs obeying before my mind caught up.I crossed to the chair and lowered myself on its edge, holding the envelope to my stomach like a shield.He let me sit there like a statue while he finished the page, turned it, and read the next one.Only when he had set the folder flat did he finally look at me.I had braced myself for an old man. For jowls, yellowed teeth and a leer I could have dismissed on the drive home.What I got was worse.“M-Mr. Reign…” I stuttered. “I brought the evidence for Bernard Abbott’s case. T

MARILYNThe word landed, and everything in me stopped at once as though someone had reached inside my chest and closed a hand around the machinery.Strip.I turned to face him.Conall's eyes held mine, blue and unreadable.I searched them for the smallest crack — a flicker, a smirk, anything that would tell me this was a cruel bluff designed to make me panic and beg.But his jaw stayed set, looking like a man with nowhere else to be and all the time in the world to get there.My fingers tightened around the envelope.He didn't care about the police reports. He had never cared. I had carried them across the city like a talisman, and he hadn't so much as glanced at them."Mr. Reign…" My voice barely carried past my own lips. "Please. There has to be something else. Money… we can give you money."I took a step toward the desk, and the words came faster, tumbling over one another as I hunted for an offer he might actually accept."Bernard and I are starting a company. I put every dollar I
