The day I discover that my husband, Nick Goldberg, is cheating on me, my severe depression drives me to climb up to the rooftop. My older sister, Natalie Swift, stabs him before dragging him over to apologize to me. From then on, Natalie moves in with us and becomes his strictest watchdog. Every time he so much as twitches, Natalie is even more anxious than I am. With Natalie keeping watch over Nick, he genuinely changes. He deletes all of the female contacts he has and comes back home on time. It's to the point that he even reports to me when he's just going out to throw the trash. Because of this, I think that this battered, broken marriage of ours is finally getting a fresh start. Ho

Standing on the porch, wrapped in a heavy trench coat against the coastal fog, was Adonis. Jillian stood up, walking across the timber floorboards to swing the door open. The chilly sea air rushed inside, carrying the scent of damp wood and brine. "Adonis. You’re six hours north of your usual jurisdiction." "The federal marshals finalized the asset seizure at Apex Tower at five o'clock this afternoon," Adonis said, stepping into the warmth of the office and shedding his coat. He looked exhausted, the skin beneath his eyes dark, but his expression carried the deep satisfaction of a strategist who had successfully navigated an impossible minefield. He tossed a slim, encrypted flash drive onto

The moment I saw the screen, it felt like all the blood drained from my body. Matthew had posted something. [I love smashing things, but she never complains. She even smiles and hands them to me.] The photo showed our trophies shattered across the floor, while the toys I had treasured so much that I barely dared touch them had been smeared with paint. Another notification popped up. Mom had transferred ten thousand dollars. Dad tapped the attached voice message, and the sound of things breaking burst from the speaker. "Something happened to the trophies. Take the money and buy Alicia a few new ones."

The man waiting for us was dressed in black cargo gear, a duffel bag at his feet. "You Elias?" he asked, chewing on a toothpick as if he had no form of an instinct. "No," I stepped into the light. "I’m God. You better start praying I don’t get bored." Luciano chuckled behind me, and the man laughed nervously. "You got the cash?" "You got the guns?" We both nodded. I signaled for Dean to move up and inspect the duffel bag for any anomaly. That’s when I heard it: the click of a safety being disengaged.

"You're as smart as they say you are, Ms. Claude. You know where our bottom line is." Lauren turned her head away. Guilt was gnawing at her, and she could not look at me. Yes, smart and cunning and cutthroat as they came. And she used all her cunning on her own husband. Felix did not say anything, though he was giving me a challenging look. Then, he unraveled the box on the desk. "Have some cake, everyone." Lauren, who'd been so calm and cunning during the negotiation, snatched the box. "Don't move, Felix. You're allergic to peanut butter. I need to check the ingredients."

Once one of them got me a drink or drinks they ran to me calling out my name to see which drink I would want. Four of them came running over saying my name and when I heard them, I stopped and looked at them. One had a water, one had a Dr. Pepper, one had a mountain dew, and the other had a OJ. They just knew me so well on what I drink, but I had chosen the OJ to give me vitamins during the school day. "Thank you, for the OJ." I said as I opened it. I took a drink of it before looking back at Joey. "See how easy that is. You could have the same thing with ladies."
