For a moment, I stared at Roxy as if she had just told me the sky was green. A chest went tight as my thoughts started to fly in a thousand different directions. Was this because of Conrad? Had he pulled some strings to sabotage me? I couldn’t put it past him after the cruel side of him I had seen today.
I couldn’t lose my job in the company. It had given me something I desperately needed: normalcy. I needed to feel like my life wasn’t completely falling apart.”
“Abigail?” Roxy’s voice softened, her brows knitting together in concern. “You okay?”
I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. My thoughts had tangled into an incoherent knot. The moment Roxy had said something about it being better for me not to come into work right now, my mind latched onto the worst possible explanation: Conrad had gotten me suspended. Or worse, fired.
“I’m fine,” I finally ground out. &ldqu

Marceline I stared at the phone in my hand as if it was the one that had betrayed me. My mouth hung open, my lips trembling, horror and devastation crashing through me in a sickening wave as Hugo’s refusal echoed in my ears. For a split second, I couldn’t even breathe. Hugo, the man who had jumped at my voice like a trained dog, had just… said no. A thousand chaotic questions boiled up at once. When did Susanna get out of the hospital? How long has she been with my men? How many of them have already turned? How long have they been planning this behind my back? But the questions died almost as soon as they formed because Liam was still there, just a few feet away. And I had already wasted two of my three chances. My survival instincts rose up violently, shoving Susanna, Conrad, Bonafide, all of it, into the farthest corners of my mind. None of that mattered if I didn’t live through the next few minutes. Schemes were useless when you were bleeding in the dirt with

AbigailA girl, unmistakably young, was throwing herself into his arms. She couldn’t have been more than fifteen, maybe sixteen. Her movement looked impulsive, her arms coming up around his shoulders.Alexander reacted instantly. He pushed her away from himself, his expression affronted, his posture stiff with surprise. The girl wasn’t deterred. She grabbed his hand, her fingers curling around his as she said something I couldn’t quite hear. Whatever it was, it softened him, just a little, enough that the edge in his expression dulled.I stepped into the room, and my entrance didn’t escape either of them. Both Alexander and the girl turned to look at me.I gave Alexander a small smile. “Hey.”The effect was immediate. He turned toward me fully, that guarded reserve he wore around most people slipping. He released the girl’s hand and started toward me, his smile genuine, his eyes searching my face.“Hey. How are you feeling?” he asked, concern threading through his voice.Before I coul

Abigail The gravel crunched softly under my shoes as I put distance between myself and the place where I had left Marceline with Liam. Each step felt hurried, like if I slowed down even a fraction, the weight of this meeting would crash down on me all at once. I forced myself not to think about what would happen next.Marceline was no saint. This was a truth that I undeniably knew. It had been carved into me by her countless acts of manipulation, cruelty, and carefully dressed violence. Leaving her unharmed and breathing when she had been right there, helpless, in my grasp, had not been easy. It had taken everything in me not to finish it. Not to close my fingers around her throat and squeeze until the world went quiet.But I wasn’t her, I didn't do what she did, and that mattered to me. I had said it out loud to her, and I repeated it silently now, like a mantra. I was not Marceline. I would not stoop to her level. I would not coat my hands with blood just because the temptation w

ConradThe men scrambled to follow me, but I barely noticed them. My head was buzzing too loudly, filled with fury and shame in equal measure. I slid into the backseat, deep in thought as one of the men started the car.The drive blurred past in a haze of anger. I could feel Sylvester’s and Jackie’s eyes flicking to me, but I didn’t care. My thoughts were running rampant.Why couldn’t she just behave? Why couldn’t she make this easier for me?I clenched my jaw until it hurt. She always had to fight and to scheme without thinking of others. Did she not understand how hard this was already for me? Did she truly believe I wanted it this way?No, she forced me into this. It was only like this because of her behavior. If she hadn’t tried to stifle me, we wouldn’t be here. I wouldn't have taken this road. But Mother left me no choice but to push back harder when she pushed me to the wall.I had been considering being lenient with how she would be treated at Pathways to Wellness. I had even

Conrad As the lake house came into view, I adjusted my jacket and glanced at the men beside me. Two of them, Jackie and Sylvester, followed me while the rest waited by the car. I turned to Jackie, who was trailing a step behind me. “Don’t forget the basket of food,” I reminded him, my tone sharp. Jackie gave a stiff nod. “Got it, sir.” We reached the porch, the wooden boards groaning faintly under our weight. My hand curled into a fist and rapped against the door. I pitched my voice warm, casual. “Mother? It’s Conrad.” Silence was my answer. I frowned and knocked again, a little harder this time. “Mother?” Still nothing. A sliver of unease threaded its way down my spine. That was odd. She should have answered by now. I should have heard her footsteps trudging to the door… unless she was asleep. That was possible. But in her current state, keyed up and restless, would Mother really have managed to nap? I doubted it. I pressed my ear against the door, listening for movement. T

ConradI hadn’t come alone, even though I had promised Mother on the phone that I would. The words had spilled so smoothly from my mouth, but I already knew I would bring men with me. Not just any men but Bonafide’s finest, the ones who now called me “Boss” with reverence that sent a rush of exhilaration through my veins. Although I had made the press conference today, I had actually taken over everything a few days ago, putting measures in place to make sure Mother never heard of it until I wanted her to. Now, I knew how she felt having such unquestioned deferrence. It was intoxicating. I had lived too many years under her shadow to deny how much I savored it. When the cars rolled to a stop at the edge of the lake house drive, I was the first to step out. The wind carried the crispy scent of water, mixing with the faint smell of pine trees that crowded the estate. For a moment, I stood there, staring at the house, wondering why Mother had chosen to come here, of all the places she
