The sleek, sterile elegance of Moretti Enterprises’ New York office was enough to make anyone feel small. But I wasn’t here to feel intimidated; I was here to demand justice. Jacob and I walked in with purpose, our footsteps echoing off the marble floors as we approached Luca Moretti’s imposing glass desk. The man himself sat with a smug look on his face, fingers steeped in a pose of complete confidence.

SAM'S POVMy feet felt like lead weights as I trudged through the front door, exhaustion seeping into every fiber of my being. The meeting with Luca Moretti had been nothing short of grueling—a tense game of chess, each word a move carefully calculated to maintain some semblance of control over a situation spiraling out of hand. All I wanted now was to collapse into bed, maybe find solace in the warmth of the woman I loved.Our home—no, my home—was dimly lit, golden light from the hallway sconces casting shadows on the walls. I set my keys down on the table, the faint clink echoing through the silence. A pang

NORA'S POVThe bathroom was heavy with steam, fogging up the mirrors and turning the air thick and warm. I had just broken the news to Sam, telling him I was returning to Paris the next day, and his reaction was immediate and visceral.“What do you mean you’re leaving?” he demanded, his voice cracking, a storm of emotions swirling in his eyes. He stood in the doorway, his hair disheveled, his shirt slightly wrinkled from the day’s tension. His fists clenched at his sides, but it wasn’t anger that radiated from him—it was desperation, raw and unfiltered.I pulled the towel tighter around myself, fee

NORA'S POVI stumbled out of the building, Isabella's words pounding in my head like a relentless drumbeat. “Sam doesn’t want to see you. Go back to Paris and leave him alone.” My breath came in ragged gasps, and I tried to steady myself, clutching at the railing outside the lobby as the world spun around me.My heart pounded in my chest, each beat feeling like a physical blow. Had Sam really said that? Was everything we’d fought to rebuild already crumbling apart? My vision blurred, and I felt the familiar tightening in my chest. Panic clawed at my throat, making it impossible to breathe.“Calm down,” I whispered to myself, but my voice cracked, and I sank to the cold stone steps, pressing a hand to my chest as if that could keep my heart from shattering. The city moved around me, indifferent to my pain, but I felt utterly still—frozen.Eventually, I forced myself to stand and began to walk, no destination in mind, just needing to move, to escape the suffocating dread. I wandered aim

SAM'S POVI hadn’t planned to stay at Jacob’s house all night, but after the argument with Nora, my mind had been in a tailspin. When morning came, the tension still hadn’t loosened its grip on my chest. I was exhausted, emotionally frayed, and barely holding on.Jacob’s father, Thomas Bennett, had summoned both of us to the office at the crack of dawn, and the entire drive there was heavy with a sense of foreboding. Jacob kept stealing glances at me, but neither of us spoke. We knew better than to get into a debate before facing Thomas. The man had a way of sniffing out weakness and using it to his advantage.The conference room felt like a war zone, Thomas Bennett presiding over it like a stern general. He sat at the head of the table, his steel-gray eyes narrowed as he glared at me. The walls were lined with old portraits of previous Bennett patriarchs, each one a reminder of the legacy and expectations weighing down on my shoulders.“Samuel,” Thomas said, his voice low and dangero

NORA'S POV The cab ride from Charles de Gaulle Airport to my apartment felt longer than the entire flight from New York. Paris loomed heavy around me, the city of love and dreams now shrouded in shadows of worry and dread. The last time I’d been here, it had felt like a refuge, a new start. Now, it felt like a prison I was walking back into, chains and all.I unlocked the door to my apartment, exhaustion weighing on me like a physical force. My mind was so clouded with everything that had happened—the whirlwind of leaving Sam, the chaos of Milo’s threats—that I didn’t immediately register the woman sitting in the middle of my living room.

SAM'S POV I sat in my office, leaning back in my chair, staring at the ceiling as the weight of the past few days bore down on me like an anvil. My phone lay face down on the desk, and I hadn’t had the courage to pick it up, to see if there were any missed calls or messages from Nora. She was in Paris. Gone. And I was here, in New York, feeling more powerless than I ever had in my life. My chest tightened at the thought, a hollow ache that gnawed at me relentlessly.The door swung open, and Jacob sauntered in, his usual cocky demeanor making my teeth grind. He flopped into the chair across from me, his gaze flicking around my office before settling on me. “You look like shit,” he commented, a smirk playing on his lips. &l

My heart stopped.Daniel stood in the doorway, his hair disheveled, his eyes wide with relief and something else—something I couldn’t quite place. He looked out of breath, as if he’d run all the w

My voice echoed, filled with raw fury. “Who let this scum into the Bennett building? Are we really sin

NORA'S POV The Bennett mansion felt impossibly large and unbearably empty. No matter how grand the chandeliers glowed or how pristine the marble floors shone, the house seemed cloaked in darkness. Every corner whispered reminders of what was missing; Zoe and William. There was just so much grief in the walls of the mansion. I couldn’t sit still anymore. The silence pressed down on me, my thoughts swirling endlessly as guilt, anger, and fear battled for control. I had failed my daughter, failed to protect her when she needed me most.

My chest felt tight, my throat raw as I struggled to breathe. My father couldn’t be dead. William Bennett was larger than life…indestructible, unyielding. This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be.

Normally, there was a nurse bustling in to check my vitals or update me on Zoe, but this time, there was only silence.The door creaked open, and I sat up a little straighter, relief flooding me as I saw a nurse enter followed closely by a doctor.

I never did.”

NORA'S POV The quiet of the hospital room was both a blessing and a curse. The soft hum of machines and the distant chatter of nurses offered some comfort, but it also left me alone with my thoughts.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my body still aching from the surgery. The nurses had reassured me that Zoe was doing well, her breathing steady and strong. They said she was a fighter, but that didn’t stop the worry from gnawing at me.I worried about Zoe, about the future. About Sam.He’d called to tell me he was with Jacob, and though he’d assured me it was just a conversation, I couldn’t shake the dread pooling in my stomach. Jacob was dangerous, and the thought of Sam walking into a trap made me restless.I sighed, closing my eyes, trying to will myself to sleep. But just as the edges of slumber began to creep in, the sound of the door opening jolted me awake.At first, I thought it was a nurse or Sam returning, but when I turned my head, my breath caught in my throat.Elias R

SAM'S POV The room was unbearably still, the rhythmic beep of Zoe’s monitor the only sound. I turned toward the doorway, expecting a nurse, but instead, it was someone I hadn’t expected to see so soon.Charles.He hesitated in the doorway, his sandy hair falling messily over his forehead, his suit jacket slightly too large for his thin frame. His blue eyes—uncertain and conflicted—darted around the room before settling on Zoe’s bassinet.Nora stood from her chair, her protective instincts immediately kicking in as she moved slightly in front of Zoe. “Who are you?” she asked, her tone firm but puzzled.“Charles,” I said again, my voice drawing Nora’s startled gaze. “This is Jacob’s son.”Nora’s expression shifted from confusion to shock as she looked at him. “You’re… Jacob’s…”His voice cracked, and he glanced down at his shoes before looking back at Zoe. “I’m sorry for intruding,” he said quickly. “I just…I wanted to make sure she’s okay.”Genevieve turned sharply from the window, he

NORA'S POV The hospital was a blur as I rushed through the corridors, my heart pounding in my chest. The fear I’d felt since leaving the Moretti’s castle hadn’t left me, clinging to me like a shadow. I had to see Zoe. I had to know she was okay.The NICU doors came into view, and I barely slowed down as I pushed through them. My breath caught as I spotted Sam and Genevieve, both bent over Zoe’s incubator.Sam’s large hand rested on the side of the incubator, his shoulders relaxed, a soft smile tugging at his lips. Beside him, Genevieve—stoic, guarded Genevieve—was smiling too, her fingers delicately tracing circles on the glass as if she were drawing strength from the sight of Zoe’s tiny, fragile form.Relief washed over me, so powerful that my knees buckled. I grabbed the edge of a nearby chair to steady myself before running toward them, tears streaming down my face. “Zoe!” I sobbed, my voice trembling.Sam looked up sharply, his smile vanishing as he stepped back from the incubator
