NORA'S POV

The whispers in the room seemed to grow louder, their hum crawling under my skin as Evelyn’s words echoed in my mind: “It all begins. I can’t wait anymore for his go-ahead.

I pushed up from my chair, determined to find Genevieve. She always knew how to make sense of chaos, and right now, I needed her calm logic more than ever. But as I scanned the ballroom, Genevieve was nowhere to be seen.

Evelyn had disappeared, and Jacob was gone from his earlier spot near the corner. My unease gr

    SAM'S POV The security room was suffocating, lit with harsh fluorescent lights that reflected off the polished floor. Evelyn sat in a chair at the center of the room, calm and collected, her legs crossed as if she were at a charity luncheon rather than being detained. Her nonchalance irritated me more than her actual crime.I slammed my hands on the table. “What the hell were you doing near my car?”Evelyn barely flinched. Instead, she regarded me with mild amusement. “Good evening to you too, Sam.”&l

    SAM'S POV The gala hall was a wreck of broken glasses, muffled voices, and panicked footsteps. Security moved in sharp, purposeful strides, but it all felt distant, like a bad dream I couldn’t wake from. My world had reduced to one brutal truth: Nora was gone.Gone.The word hammered at my skull as I stood frozen in the middle of the chaos. My hands felt like lead at my sides, clenched tightly to stop them from shaking. She’d been right there—just steps behind us—and now she was gone. I’d failed her.

    NORA'S POV The world swam back into focus, blurry and disjointed. My head throbbed, and my limbs felt heavy, like I’d been dragged from a deep sleep too soon. The air was cool, sterile, but tinged with something metallic. The faint hum of a distant vent filled the silence, broken only by my uneven breaths.I tried to move, but my wrists were bound, the rough material of the restraints biting into my skin. Panic surged through me like a tidal wave, constricting my chest and sending my heart pounding.Where am I?My first

    SAM'S POV The night was still and oppressively silent as I pulled up to the Bennett building. It loomed against the skyline, its windows glowing faintly from the security lights. I sat in the car for a moment, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles ached.Nora was still missing. Every second without her felt like an eternity, the fear of what might be happening to her gnawing at me like a wild animal. The thought of her, scared and alone, was unbearable.

    NORA'S POV I woke to the sound of birds chirping, their melody sharp and unfamiliar. For a moment, I thought I was back in the penthouse, the illusion so convincing that I reached out instinctively for the warmth of Sam’s side of the bed. My hand met rough, scratchy fabric, and the truth came crashing down.I sat up with a start, my head pounding. This wasn’t the room I’d fallen asleep in. My hands were free though they still hurt from the bind. I rubbed my hands against my wrist and felt my tummy. The baby kicked and I felt a sense of assurance wash over me. I looked around taking in my new surroundings; I was in a cramped cabin. The walls were wooden planks, uneven and unfinished. There was a small table near the window, a single chair, and a fireplace that looked as though it hadn’t been used in years. The only light came from a sliver of sunshine squeezing through dusty blinds.I felt lightheaded as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed. “Where am I?” I murmured, my voice sha

    SAM'S POV The Bennett estate felt colder than usual, a heaviness in the air that I couldn’t shake. Even the light through the windows seemed dimmer, like the house itself knew something was wrong. I stood in the foyer, trying to process everything that had happened. Jacob—someone I trusted—had betrayed me. I couldn’t believe it. The weight of it hit me hard, and the shock still hadn’t worn off. I never thought something like this could come from within my own family.Then there was Nora. She was still missing, and I had no idea where she was or what had happened to her. My mind wouldn’t stop racing. Had her disappearance somehow been tied to what I’d just learned about Jacob? Of course! I was losing my mind. Was she in danger because of him? The uncertainty ate at me, made it hard to focus on anything else.The house felt so different now, like it was reflecting everything I was feeling. It wasn’t the same place it used to be, and neither was I. I was standing there, trying to hold e

The coldness in his voice still echoed in my ears, and the sharpness in his gaze froze me in place.“Put the phone down, Nora,” he repeated, each word clipped and deliberate.“I just want to call Sam,” I said, my voice trembling despite my best effort to sound strong. “He’s probably worried sick about me. You know that, Daniel.”His jaw tightened, a muscle in his cheek jumping as he stepped closer. “You think

The tension between us was thick, suffocating.“Open it,” she said, her voice sharp.I shook my head, placing the folder down on the desk without even looking at it. “I can’t do this right now, Gen.”Her scoff was loud and full of frustration. “Can’t? Or won’t?”

    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

It was about her. Nora. She lay in the bed

    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.
