Ashley said as she put a hand around Amber's shoulder. "Hi ," Ashley said to Amber "I am Ashley Shaw " "Amber " Amber said "Nice to meet you " "You hit a jackpot Aaron," Bryan said "your wife is so gorgeous, why were you hiding her?" Aaron wanted to say something but before that someone called out his name. "Aaron," It was Diane , Bryan and Ryan's mother , the only woman Aaron had always respected more than anyone, she was like a mother to him, the only person in his life who can take his mother's place.

They stopped when they heard a voice. Bot of them were breathing heavily as they looked at each other and smiled before they moved back and looked at the person who had came to the scene. Amber smiled as he looked at the four people who had just come to the scene. Hayley also saw that them there were two identical twins a tall man and another woman and she knew all of them. The twins were Aaron and Bryan Shaw, they Bryan was the head of the council and a pure blood guardian and his brother was Aaron Shaw the CEO of the Shaw enterprises and a mysterious person no one knew much about him as he was a very secretive person.

"She knew exactly what she was doing. She wanted us to have her confession. Wanted us to know the truth. But she had no intention of staying to face consequences." My phone buzzed. Text from an unknown number. Jessica, of course. "I told you I was a scalpel. Shaw was caught because he was careless. I won't make that mistake. Enjoy your evidence, darling. Enjoy your victory. But remember, I'm still out there. Still watching. Still planning. And when you least expect it, when you're finally comfortable and happy and think the war is over, that's when I'll come back. That's when the real harvest begins. Sleep well. -JP"

Starting from the very first day of the plan when I went to meet him, to the second day. My conversation with Alejandro and his wife Clarissa, how fake they both acted. And the nameless man in the tailored suit whose watch probably cost more than my apartment. And Levi, smooth and charming, as always — playing the gracious host while weaving invisible threads between us all. By the time I finished, Shane was pacing.

Shaw emphasized, "Maybe when I am less occupied" he replied, "Okay" "Where have you been all these years?" David hadn't seen Shaw after his childhood accident and when Cara was kidnapped, he only informed him but didn't show his face. "Taking care of my company" Shaw chuckled, "And you forgot about me" David sulked, "Let's not say forgot, but kept at the back of my mind" Shaw teased, "Huh" "Just take a look at your expression" Shaw laughed

The ice is beginning to numb my skin now. Good. My heartbeat finally slows slightly beneath the cold. Magnificent. Shaw leaned against the sink. “We’re from the same era of fucked up,” he said carefully. “I’ve been through shit too.” I stared at him. And for one dangerous second, I almost talk. Then I called myself to order, remembering that rule of never letting people hold the knife that could gut you later. “I’m fine,” I said flatly. “You don’t look fine.” “I look gorgeous actually.”

DAVID'S POV I got to the office, forty minutes early. Marcus found me rearranging documents that didn't need rearranging and stood in the doorway with his coffee and watched me for a full ten seconds. "Not a word," I said, stacking documents. "I didn't say anything." "You were about to." He walked in and sat down. "Shaw team called in, four of them are arriving at nine." "Good." "Lydia Shaw is leading." "I know Marcus."
