Chapter Forty: Drag Him to His Knees

Nelson's POV

Dimly lit, the shadows were long across the room as I leaned back in my chair, staring at the men in front of me. Smoke and whiskey thickly laced the air, overlaid by something far more dangerous-anticipation. My boys, my most loyal and ruthless men, watched and waited for my command.

I swirled the whiskey in my glass, setting it down with a deliberate clink against the wood.

"It's time," I said, my voice slicing through the silence like a blade. "I have been watching him for too long and That ends tonight."

A slow, wicked grin stretched across Marco's face as he cracked his knuckles. "What's the plan, boss?"

I leaned forward, my fingers steepled together. "We're gonna hit his mansion hard. I want every one of his men dead or so badly broken they won't be able to stand. Wound them. Make 'em bleed. Let 'em know what crossing me looks like.

My vision dimmed further. "But Simeon? He is mine. I want him dragged here, on his knees, in front

    Chapter Forty-One: Trapped in the Shadows(Lily's POV)The air in this small, dimly lit room was so thick with unspoken fear, uncertainty, a feeling of hopeless despair. Thick silence—yet loud with just our breathing, fast, irregular, desperate.I crouched, with my head between my knees, hugging myself, as if somehow this would shelter me from this nightmare playing itself out beyond the cold walls of my cell. My heart reverberated thunderously, pulsating its consistent beat against the wall of my throat and pounding against my rib cage. My palms were sweaty, my fingers cold, shakily balling my hands into fists.Somewhere beyond this hidden room, the battle raged. The gunfire that had echoed down the halls stopped, and an eerie silence filtered through, sending a shiver down my spine. Something had happened. Something terrible.I turned to Simeon.He sat beside me, his back against the wall, his legs stretched out before him. His head was thrown back, eyes closed, yet I knew instantly

    Chapter Forty-Two: Manipulation (Vivian's POV)News hit me like a knife to the chest.Carter was working with Simeon again.After all I had done for him—everything I had sacrificed—he still had the audacity to crawl back to that man? My fingers curled into fists as I paced my office, my high heels clicking angrily against the marble floor.It was the fire of betrayal, hotter and far stronger than the rage that boiled in my veins. How dare he? After all the power, influence, and fortune I had put at his feet, he had still dared to deal with my enemy. This was intolerable.I reached for my phone on the desk and dialed Carter's number. Once. Twice. Three times.He didn't answer.Coward.Fine. If he wouldn’t come to me, I’d go to him.I grabbed my coat and stormed out, my mind racing with fury. Carter would regret this decision.—His empire was still as grand: tall glassy windows, high ceilings, security guards at each corner, none allowing anyone near the building unless they had the r

She was going to give me a reason to fight even harder.But peace was never an option ever given to me.The gentle ring of my phone snapped me out of my reverie. I looked at the screen.

    Chapter Forty-Four: Out in the Cold(Lily’s POV)The night air was cold.Colder than I had ever felt before.I stood in front of the large iron gates, unable to move, but it wasn't the cold wind nipping at my skin that froze me. The heavy resonance of Simeon's words echoed in my ears, suffocating me from the inside out.“Get out.”I had begged him. Pleaded. Looked into his eyes hoping to find a glimmer of the love he once had for me.But there was nothing.Just coldness.Just anger.Just disappointment.And now, I stand outside his house the big mansion with my bags at my feet, utterly deserted.I swallowed the lump in my throat and raised my phone, trembling hands, dialed him again. No answer. I called again. Still nothing.I tried texting. Message sent. Not read.My hands gripped the phone tighter as I stared at the dark screen.

My lungs ached, my legs screamed in torment, and every gasp of air was a struggle, yet none of that even registered to me. All I was aware of was that I had to move.I cut across empty streets, my heart pounding my chest. Rain lashed around me in a torrent, soaking my clothes, matting my hair to my face.

I cut across a corner, took a sharp turn to the next, in a desperate effort to shake whatever was after me.

    Chapter Forty-Six: No Way Out(Lily's POV)From the moment I stepped into Vivian's house, I knew I was trapped.The door slammed behind me, my fate sealed. The air was dense, suffocating, like the walls were closing in around me. My heart pounded against my ribs, my breath in ragged gulps.Nelson's hold on my arm became stronger as he pulled me deeper within. I fought, planting my heels in the ground, but it was no use. He was too powerful, and I was too exhausted by fatigue, fear, and the bitter sting of betrayal.Vivian was in the middle of the lavishly furnished living room, her arms folded, her red lips twisting in a wicked smile."Look at you," she said to herself, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "The great Lily, reduced to nothing."I swallowed, not wanting her to know that I was scared."What do you want from me?" I demanded, my voice quivering in spite of trying to sound strong.Vivian laughed low in her throat, circling me like a predator sizing up its prey. "Oh, Lily," she w

The ice sang softly against the glass as I stirred the amber liquid, staring at nothing in particular. It had been days since Lily departed, yet she still seemed to linger like a shadow I couldn't shake off.A sigh escaped me as I rocked back in the chair and dropped my head into it. I hated this feeling. The emptiness. The silence. The lack of her soft footsteps around the house, the way she'd always stop before she'd speak, the way she'd glance at me when she believed no one was watching her.Damn it.I reached into my pocket and automatically pulled out my phone.

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, leaning back in my chair. I had told Amelia I didn't care. I had played it like I didn't care that Lily was with Vivian and Nelson. I reminded myself she had deserved it for having betrayed me.But why did the devil himself make it feel like a knife twisting in my chest whenever I thought of it?I stood up and walked to the window, gazing out over the city below. It was already dark, the streetlights glinting like tiny fireflies. Somewhere in this city, Lily was suffering. And I was letting it happen.My fists clenched.I had been lying to myself.I had previously rationalized to myself that I was punishing her. That she was being taught a lesson.

Nelson was leaning against the window, looking out, not saying a word.I took a deep breath and broke the silence."Ah. Camila isn't what we imagined her to be," I declared slowly. My tone was gentle, but my words carried immense weight. "She's hiding from Adrian. She's Zara."Nelson spun his wheelchair around, looking tired. "I just don't understand. She wasn't the kind of person to hide something. She was just. Camila.""She misled you," I replied, sounding gruffer than I meant to. "She misled all of us."Simeon finally spoke up.

If I were introducing people near my boyfriend, I would have been somewhat shy or apprehensive.Not her.She laughed easily at Nelson’s jokes. She looked him straight in the eyes when she spoke. She even asked me questions politely, like she really wanted to know me.“So, Lily,” she said, smiling gently, “Nelson told me you’re very good at cooking. What’s your favorite thing to make?”I smiled back, keeping my voice soft. “I like cooking simple meals. Rice and stew. Pasta. Fried plantains. Nothing too fancy.”"Sounds good," she told me.

The way Adrian showed up before us last time—his smile, his words, the way he glared at Simeon like he was about to destroy everything we had built—it kept ringing in my head."Simeon…" I whispered as I sat on the couch, holding a pillow close to my body. "Are you not worried?"He looked at me with uncomplicated eyes, like the whole affair didn't happen to him. "No."I blinked. "You're saying no what? That was Adrian. He broke into our firm—like that—and delivered a threat.""He did not deliver a threat," said Simeon, sitting down beside me. "He simply displayed his teeth.".I scowled. "That's worse.

Simeon leaned against the kitchen counter, his usually calm expression not quite as sharp tonight, behind him.Nelson's eyes locked on mine as he walked towards the couch, the tension between us heavy. My chest was aching just to glance at him, wondering what news he'd brought."Lily," he began, his voice uncertain, "I have to talk with you and Simeon about something."Simeon didn't move, simply sitting there with a quiet attention. I stayed in the doorway to the kitchen, glancing over at the two of them, waiting. My hands were still wrapped around a glass of water that I hadn't even known I'd picked up.

Lily had cautioned me to be cautious, and Simeon had cautioned me too. They didn't believe that something was amiss with her. But I wasn't sure. Camila had never provided me with a reason not to trust her.But I was being cautious.Then I saw her.She came up the sidewalk, her bright red hair flowing in the gentle breeze, a soft smile playing on her lips.

He had called only two nights prior and told me that he would be in touch soon with the final papers.I had just cooked lunch—rice and hot chicken with fried plantains. The smell wafted through the house, inviting and warm. Simeon and Nelson were in the living room, both staring at their phones.
