SARAH'S POV:

My thoughts were consumed by a whirlwind of suspicions regarding Joe and the frightening notion that he might have been the mastermind behind the harrowing ordeal that had unfolded before my daughter and me. As I delved deeper into my contemplations, the fragments of the puzzle appeared to disperse, intensifying the overwhelming confusion that enveloped my mind.

"Sarah," Mark's voice cut through my reverie like a sharp knife. I jolted, my heart pounding in my chest, feeling the sud

    MARK’S POVWhen I saw how broken Sarah looked, something inside me shifted.She wasn’t just crying. She was unraveling.Her shoulders shook as she sat on the cold floor, staring at nothing, her eyes hollow, like she had already left the room even though her body was still there. I walked to her slowly, unsure if she would even notice me. When I knelt beside her, she didn’t look up.I reached for her hand.Sarah flinched at first, instinctive, like someone who had been hurt too many times in one night. But when she realized it was me, her fingers loosened, then curled weakly around mine.“It’s over,” I said softly, more for her than for myself. “You’re safe now.”She didn’t answer. Her grip tightened instead, like she was afraid I might disappear if she let go.I stayed there with her, letting the silence do what words couldn’t. After a while, her breathing slowed. The sobs softened into quiet, exhausted sniffles.“I’ll take you home,” I offered gently. “You shouldn’t be here anymore.”

    SARAH’S POVMark’s hand clamped over my mouth just as my gasp tried to escape.His palm was rough, trembling slightly, pressing my lips shut as he pulled me deeper into the shadowed corner. My back hit the cold wall, my breath trapped in my chest. I could feel his other arm around my waist, holding me still—not roughly, but urgently, desperately.“Don’t,” he whispered against my ear. “Don’t make a sound.”CwwI nodded, my heart pounding so loudly I was certain they would hear it. My pulse screamed in my ears as I stared through the narrow gap between stacked crates and the half-open door.That’s when I heard Joe’s voice.Weak. Strained. In pain.Every muscle in my body is locked.“No… no, Joe,” I thought, silently, my nails digging into my palms.I listened.I listened to the slap.I listened to the shouting.I listened to the gunshot that ripped a scream out of him.My knees nearly gave out, but Mark held me upright, his breath shallow, his body rigid. I felt him flinch every time Aus

    JOE’S POV:Before I could dodge—before my brain even finished screaming move—the gun fired.The impact wasn’t loud in my body the way it was in the room. It landed on my left leg with a brutal, numbing force that stole the air from my lungs. I gasped, a sharp, broken sound escaping me as I collapsed sideways onto the cold concrete floor. The pain followed a second later, hot and overwhelming, radiating upward like fire crawling through my veins.My vision blurred. My face burned—not from shame, but from shock. I could feel the blood soaking through my trousers, warm and unstoppable, pooling beneath me.Austin didn’t rush. He never rushed.His footsteps echoed as he walked toward me, slow and deliberate, like he wanted me to hear every step. Like he wanted the moment to stretch. Austin stopped right in front of me, looming, his shadow swallowing what little light was left in the room.Before I could say anything, Austin's hand came down hard across my face.The sound cracked through th

    MARK'S POVI could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, a low roar of rage building inside me. How could she? After everything, how could she do this now, knowing I still love her? Knowing what she meant to me? My fists clenched at my sides, my mind racing with a thousand questions, a thousand thoughts crashing in.Then I heard it — a low murmur from the crowd, a ripple of excitement spreading like wildfire. And then, as if on cue, voices began to chant, louder and louder, "Marry him! Marry him!"The words hit me like a punch to the gut. The room was closing in, the noise growing deafening, and I could feel the heat rising up my neck, my vision narrowing as the reality of what was happening sank in. Joe was down on one knee, a ring in his hand, and the crowd was cheering them on. “No… no, no, no,” I muttered, shaking my head as if trying to wake from a bad dream. My chest felt tight, and I could barely breathe. Paul reached out, grabbing my arm, trying to pull me back to my seat, but I

    MARK'S POV:The restaurant was crowded, filled with the low hum of conversations and the clinking of cutlery against plates. Paul and I were seated by the window, where the sunlight poured in. I pushed my food around, barely tasting it, my thoughts elsewhere.Suddenly, Sarah walked in, her smile as radiant as ever, but my chest tightened when I saw who was with her — Joe. My jaw clenched instinctively. That man. I knew he had something planned, something dark. I’d seen enough of his schemes to know he was trouble, and now he was here with her. My Sarah. A burning anger rose inside me, spreading like wildfire. "They just sat down," I muttered, my eyes glued to them. I didn't even realize Paul was speaking until he snapped his fingers in front of my face."Hey! Earth to you," Paul called, his voice cutting through my thoughts.I blinked and turned to him. "What?"Paul’s gaze shifted towards Sarah and Joe, and then back to me. He sighed, exasperation etched on his face. "How long are yo

    JENNIE'S POV:My father’s study, usually a place of calm, had turned into a storm of anger and tension. I stood near the doorway, my fists clenched, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hardly breathe. "Daddy, are you really going to sit there and let that bitch, Sarah, take everything we’ve worked for?" I spat out, my voice trembling with frustration. My words felt like acid on my tongue. The room seemed to shrink as I waited for his response, my breath quickening.My father, his face shadowed in the gloom, whipped his head towards me, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits. "I’ve told you to shut your mouth! I’m doing something about it!" He shouted, his voice slicing through the air. His fury hung in the air, thick and suffocating.I felt my cheeks flush with heat, my anger flaring even hotter. I couldn’t stay still. I paced back and forth, my heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor, frustration boiling inside me like a storm ready to break. My mind raced, thoughts tu
