NORA'S POV

Sam’s words still echoed in my mind as we sat in the living room, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken thoughts. Jacqueline’s demand for a DNA test kept replaying in my head, twisting my emotions into a tangled knot of confusion and hurt. I hugged a throw pillow to my chest, feeling its softness contrast against the hardness in my heart.

Sam sat across from me, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees, his hands placed under his chin. His face was tight with tension, but his eyes held an unmistakable resolve.

    SAM'S POVThe memory of Daniel standing in my doorway, talking to mywife like he had a place here, like he belonged, gnawed at me. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. Daniel wasn’t just some nuisance circling Nora because he felt sorry for her; he was circling because he knew she wasn’t mine anymore. Legally, at least.And that knowledge burned me in a way I couldn’t describe.I used to like Daniel. Hell, we’d been on good terms before all of this. He’d always been polite, un

    SAM'S POV Isabella started to walk away, heading for her office and definitely avoiding my question. The office door shut behind us with a soft thud, but the tension between Isabella and me was deafening. She leaned against her desk, her arms crossed, her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile that set my teeth on edge.“Let’s make this quick,” I said, my voice sharp as a blade. “How did you know about Alice and Milo?”Isabella tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Grapevine.”&ldquo

Don’t pretend you did.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I managed, though my voice betrayed my fear.“Don’t you?” he sneered. “The ring, Sinclair. The one you never returned.

The conversation with Isabella was still fresh, her cryptic comments about loyalty and family spinning like a loop in my head. And now, the thought of Jacob’s nonchalance about everything—the shooting, the chaos within the family—was eating at me.When the elevator doors slid open, I strode down the hall toward his office, not bothering to knock. I pushed the door open, finding him seated at his desk, scrolling casually through his phone.Jacob looked up, his expression bored. &ldq

    NORA'S POVThe penthouse was unusually quiet when I got back, the weight of the day pressing down on my shoulders like a heavy blanket. My mind raced with thoughts of the anonymous call, Daniel’s cryptic warnings, and my mother’s refusal to reveal who had sent her the note. Everything felt like it was spinning out of control, and I didn’t know who to trust anymore—not even myself.I dropped my bag on the couch and stood by the window, staring at the city below. The bright lights and bustling streets felt so distant, like a world I didn’t belong to anymore. Somewhere in the back of my mind, the caller’s words echoed, chilling and sharp: “You never belonged with the

    SAM'S POV The sunlight streaming through my bedroom windows felt too bright, too harsh. Another night with no sleep. The blog post I’d seen still loomed over me like a dark cloud, refusing to leave my mind.I rubbed my face with both hands, trying to shake off the heavy weight pressing down on me. We were still sleeping in separate bedrooms, and I hated it. Hated the quiet, hated the empty space beside me. She was so close, just a few steps away, but it might as well have been miles. I missed her—missed waking up next to her, hearing her laugh over breakfast, feeling like we were on the same team.Last night had only mad

    NORA'S POV The sunlight filtering through the curtains felt harsh against my skin as I opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was the silence. Sam wasn’t in the room. Not that he would be—he’d been sleeping in his own bedroom for weeks now. But there was no sound of him anywhere in the penthouse, no clatter of dishes, no murmured phone calls.I sighed, sitting up and wrapping my arms around my knees. The note from last night was still fresh in my mind, every word etched into my thoughts like a brand. Return what’s ours.The fear hadn’t left, but I couldn’t let it control me. I hadn’t told

    NORA’S POVThe sun bathed the Bennett estate in a golden glow, filtering through the canopy of white roses and twinkling fairy lights. It was the perfect day, the kind of day that had once seemed impossible. But here we were. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace sleeve of my gown. It was nothing like the dress I had once imagined wearing for my first wedding to Sam. No, this was something entirely different—something that felt more like me. The gown hugged my frame, elegant and timeless. Soft ivory fabric cascaded down in delicate layers, embroidered with tiny pearls that shimmered when I moved. My hair, styled in loose waves, was pinned back with a single white rose, and a sheer veil trailed behind me like something out of a dream. But it was Sam’s face I longed to see the most. "Are you ready?" Genevieve appeared in the doorway, looking radiant in a soft emerald gown. Her usual sharpness was softened by the emotion in her eyes. I turned, feeling my he

Sam held my hand the entire drive from the airport, his grip firm yet tender, like he was afraid that if he let go, I’d disappear. My heart ached with anticipation; my mind consumed by a single thought—Zoe. I had spent weeks away from my daughter, missing the warmth of her tiny body against mine, the sweet scent of her skin, the sound of her giggles. The separation had been unbearable, and now, every second that kept me from holding her felt like

    NORA’S POVThe beeping of machines was a constant rhythm, a reminder of the fragile line I was walking. The Parisian hospital room was bathed in soft golden light from the setting sun, but I felt cold. Not the kind of cold that came from the air conditioning or the evening breeze slipping through the cracks in the window—this was deeper, bone-deep, a chilling awareness that my body was failing me. Every breath felt like a borrowed one, shallow and effortful. The weight of exhaustion pressed down on me, heavier than it had ever been. My fingers tingled, my limbs felt distant, like they didn’t belong to me anymore. A part of me wondered if this was it—if I was already standing on the precipice between life and d

    SAM'S POV The jet sliced through the cloud cover with the precision of a predator on a hunt, its hum a constant in the background as my thoughts drifted. Paris was just hours away, but I was already a prisoner of the distance—caught between two worlds, neither of which felt truly mine anymore.I had fought wars before, faced battles in boardrooms and beneath the weight of expectations. But none of those had ever felt so personal, so destructive. This fight had torn apart the very fabric of my family, shattered everything I had worked for, and left scars on my soul that would never fully heal. And the worst part? It had nearly cost me Nora—the one person I couldn’t afford to lose.
