Lauren's POV “You’ll never learn your lesson, Lauren,” I scolded myself as I stood with my arms wrapped around my body to keep from the cold, which didn’t do much since there was more cold rising inside me than the one that was brought by the night air. Jameson had arranged for us to meet close to the port, right under an empty shed. The moment I stepped there, I realized that maybe Damien was right. I had been foolishly putting my life in danger this whole time for no reason, and I could end up dead. It was even a miracle that I was standing there. I took my phone out of my pocket, deciding to call Jameson for the second time to remind him that I was waiting for him in case he had forgotten. “You don’t really have much patience, especially when it comes to your mother, do you?” He asked with a light chuckle before I got the chance to ask him where he was and why he was taking so long to show up. “Can you at least make it here in the next five minutes?”

Lauren's POV Shirley was responsible for my mother’s death. I scoffed at the thought of that as I looked over at Jameson. Even if the pieces fit together in theory, it didn’t make any sense. Shirley had lost a lot as well. There was just no way that it was possible. “That’s ridiculous,” I finally said, taking multiple steps away from Jameson to clear my head. But no matter how many times I tried to shove it out of my head, the thought still came back. “It’s not. You and I know it’s not. Even if you refuse to admit it out loud, I know that in your heart, you’re thinking about it,” he said. I shook my head and started to walk towards my car. All I wanted was to go to bed, close my eyes, and wake up the next morning without a single recollection of what I had just been told. Jameson, not willing to read the room and figure out that I didn’t want to talk about it anymore, walked behind me and just kept talking. “What are you going to do about this? I

Lauren's POV I barely got a wink of sleep that night as all I could bring myself to think about was how to tell Shirley that I had a suspicion that she knew something about my mother’s death. I didn’t know what I would do if it turned out to be true, but I didn’t know what I would do if she was innocent either. “I’ll have French toast and a glass of orange juice, please,” I said to the chef as I walked into the kitchen that morning without even waiting for him to ask me what I wanted to have. I sat down in the dining room as I waited for my breakfast, nervously fiddling with my fingers and taking deep breaths. I filled my head with questions on whether or not it was a good idea to even say anything to Shirley. If she turned out to be innocent, she would never want to see my face or even pick my call again. “Ma’am?” One of the security guards called out to me as he entered the dining room, causing me to look up and nod at him to show that he had my attention.

Lauren's POV “What’s happening, Damien?!” I asked, and I was already on my feet and running out of the house. There was no time to ask him while being doubtful. Every time that Damien had told me to get out of somewhere, there was danger there. “Just get out of there and get into your car. Drive away from that house as far as you can. Stay on the phone with me,” he said. I got to the front door and pulled it, expecting it to swing open. My heart fell to the ground when it didn’t budge. It had been locked. “Hello?” I called out to whoever was out there. “There’s someone in here. Open the door.” I wedged the phone between my ear and my shoulder as I used both my hands to pull the door with all my might, but nothing was happening. “Damien, I’ve been locked in. I don’t think anyone’s out there. Anyone who wants to open the door at least,” I reported. “Back door. Try the back door,” he said. At his command, I wasted no time in going to the kitc

I raised my hand to grip my chest in shock, my legs instinctively walking backwards as I watched the empty look in Damien’s eyes as he finished his entire bullet in the head of the man that had been following me. Maybe during the whole trouble that we had gone through together, along the way, I had forgotten just how dangerous of a man Damien really was. “Are you okay?” He asked as he reached me, causing me to flinch as I had been too stuck in my head to see him coming. Damien seemed to take it a different way as he looked at me with a frown. I shook my head as I wiped the tears that I didn’t realize had fallen out of my eyes until then. “I’m fine,” I confirmed with a nod. “What did he say? He was really following me, wasn’t he?” He nodded once, putting his hands in his pockets as though he had taken the hint that even the slightest touch would make me uncomfortable. “He would have killed you if I hadn’t stepped in sooner.” I decided that it was the

I had not looked at my phone since I saw the amount of money that Damien had sent to me as some kind of parting gift. I didn’t know what to do or how to feel about the situation. Was I supposed to call him to thank him? It had been a full day, and I was now on my way to Beverley Hills after a flight that afternoon. “Hi, I saw an ad for your apartment. I would like to ask if it’s still available for me to check it out,” I said into the phone after getting into a rented car. “Oh, yes! I’m available throughout the entire week. When would you like to come in?” The woman in the other side of the phone was bubbly, sounding only a bit older than I was. “I can come in right now, actually,” I said. “That sounds perfect,” she replied. After agreeing to meet, I drove down to the apartment. I stood in front of the apartment, taking a look at it. It was the most decent apartment on the site that didn’t have an outrageous price in a new environment. “Lauren W

I stayed frozen in bed as Damien’s voice faded right after his heavy confession. There was nothing to say. He was in love with me. But I was far away and now close to starting a new life. I didn’t need that. Not right now. Not anymore. “I’m not pressuring you to say anything in response, Lauren,” he said before I could gather myself. “I just wanted you to know. It was killing me.” I nodded, knowing fully well that he couldn’t see me. I changed my mind right then and there. I couldn’t possibly tell him that I felt the same way for him that he did for me. We had both agreed to go our separate ways, and this was only going to create an opening to make things even more complicated. “I’m sorry, Damien,” I said with a tired sigh. “I already told you that I have to go. I need to get something to eat.” “That’s fine,” he finally said after a long pause. “Goodbye.” Judging by the way he said it, I knew that it was final. He was letting go, and there was nothi

By the time I finished unpacking, it was late afternoon. My fingers ran over the fabric of the couch that had been there when I moved in as I wondered whether or not to change it before settling on the decision that it would suffice for a while. There were still boxes piled up in the corner, but the main workwas done. My clothes had been folded neatly into drawers, the small number of books I had bought were stacked on the shelf, and the bedwas made with the new sheets. I stood in the middle of the living room and exhaled in relief. This was it. My life now. Alone. My mind wandered back to Fred’s offer from that morning. He’d invited me over for dinner at his restaurant while flashing me that friendly smile. I needed a good meal, maybe a drink, and someone who wasn’t my depressing thoughts. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that heading out would do me good, so I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. “Hey, Fred? It’s Lauren, from ap
