Dominic's POV

I sat in my car, staring at the dashboard with my hands resting loosely on the wheel. The street outside was quiet. No movement, just the dull hum of the city in the distance. My men had called earlier to tell me that Ambrose and Gabriel were in custody.

Now I was parked in front of the Basement.

I breathed in and out slowly, gripping the steering wheel tighter. My thoughts drifted unwillingly to Ruby. Her eyes had been cold the last time I saw her after she was discharged. The way she had looked at me, the way she had kept her distance, as if she didn’t know me at all. It hurt me so much.

Trust was what she valued most, I understood that now. She wanted a life without secrets. I should have known that about her from the very start. Her father had been a man of secrets, a man who kept the truth buried under lies. She hated that. She wanted honesty. And yet, I had hurt her the same way her father hurt her.

I groaned, resisting the urge to slam my fist into the dashboard.

    Dominic's POVI slipped my hands into my pockets, watching the two bastards kneeling before me. Gabriel’s mouth was bloody but he still had enough energy to glare at me like he wanted to rip my throat out. Ambrose on the other hand just looked annoyed, like this whole thing was beneath him as a person.I stared at them in silence before I finally spoke. “Why’d you do it, Ambrose?” My voice was calm, but I was far from it. “Why send someone to kill me? Why take Rachael away?”Ambrose chuckled, shaking his head like I was the one being ridiculous. “Because I got her first,” he said. “We were together long before you came along. We grew up together. We were supposed to be together. And then you waltzed in and took her from me.”I snorted, shaking my head. “You never loved her.”He glared at me. "And you cannot prove that.”“You only wanted her because of her family.” I tilted my head. “Rachael was the governor’s daughter. The golden ticket.”Ambrose’s expression didn’t change, but I knew

    Ruby's POVDamien's car hummed softly as he drove us away from The Basement. I didn’t say a word during the drive. I just stared out of the window, watching the city lights blur past. The wind from the moving car slipped through the crack in the window. It stirred my hair, blowing loose strands across my face. I didn’t bother pushing them away.My mind was still back there with Ambrose and Gabriel, kneeling in the dirt like the pathetic men they were. Gabriel had begged. Of course, he had. Always thinking about himself first. Not once did he even beg for Ambrose, just himself. He was greedy like that.He’d grabbed my jeans, pleaded for mercy, as if that erased everything he had done. As if I could forget Julia’s lifeless body floating in the river. As if I could forget the way he looked at me when he thought he had won, or the triumphant look in his eyes as he stalked me all over Chicago.I had wanted him dead. For a moment, I had wanted to rip him apart with my bare hands. But I wasn

    Ruby's POVThe condo still didn’t feel like mine. Three days of rearranging furniture, shopping for new décor and repainting a few walls, yet something was still off. Maybe it was because I had been gone for too long, or maybe because I myself had changed.I sat on the couch, my laptop perched on my lap as I tried to focus on an online business class. The words on the screen blurred together. My mind drifted, not to Gabriel or Ambrose this time but to Dominic. His blue eyes and his calm voice. The way he looked at me before I walked away.The doorbell rang suddenly. I glanced up, shutting the laptop. Setting it aside, I padded to the door. When I opened it, no one was there, just a small box resting on the threshold.My pulse kicked up as I remembered how a similar package had been sitting at my doorstep four months ago, from Gabriel. I calmed myself down by reminding myself that this box was much smaller, way too small for a booby trap.I bent down, picked it up and stepped back insi

    Ruby’s POVThe next day after my meeting with Dominic, I took a drive from Chicago to Springfield. My mind was so occupied with thoughts of my father, the key and whatever secrets Hawthorne & Adler Law Firm might be holding. I couldn't stay still any longer.Damien had offered to come along. He even insisted, but I told him no. This was something I needed to do myself. I didn’t know what I was expecting to find, but whatever it was, I wanted to face it alone.Three hours and several GPS directions later, my car sat in front of their office building. The building was a tall, glass-paneled structure that looked expensive, the kind of place where powerful men in suits made million-dollar deals over coffee.I took a deep breath, adjusting the baseball cap on my head. I wore a black leather jacket, black pants and baseball hat pulled low, everything was an attempt to keep a low profile. My father had been a hotshot in the business world. Even years after his death, people still remembered

His voice was full of worry."I just drove three hours to Springfield," I replied him, shifting the car into drive. "I had a meeting with Dad’s lawyer.""You did WHAT?""I went to see Mr. Hawthorne," I repeated, keeping my tone even."You left Chicago alone?" Damien sounded pissed now. "Ruby, you just got out of the hospital, maybe ten days ago. And now you're driving halfway across the state to see a lawyer. What the hell are you thinking?""I’m thinking I’m fine," I said, rolling my eyes. "And I don’t need you acting like my babysitter.""You don’t need more stress right now!" He insisted."Then stop stressing me out," I shot back.Damien groaned heavily. "I always heard about younger sisters doing irrational things. I just never thought it would apply to you."I snorted. "You're such a big brother!""What did you find out from the lawyer?"I gripped th

I pressed my face into his shoulder, gripping his jacket like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.It wasn’t just about the will or the album or the house that now felt like a graveyard. It was everything from Gabriel’s threats to Ambrose’s schemes. The months of watching my back, waiting for the next attack. Dominic pushing me away, then pulling me back in. My father’s secrets unloosening like a rope that had been around my throat for eleven years. I was exhausted.My father should have lived longer. If not for Ambrose and his wickedness, my father would still be alive.Damien rubbed my back, murmuring. “It's all good, Ruby. Everything is safe now.Safe.... I almost laughed at the word.

"As I'll ever be, I guess."“Okay, you’re going to walk in there, sign those papers and end this battle once and for all.” There was no single doubt in his voice; he believed in me that much."Let’s hope it’s that simple."

    Ruby’s POV"WOO HOO!" Ariana threw a shot of whiskey into her mouth and slammed the glass onto the bar with a victorious grin. "To Ruby, the queen of the DanCliffe empire!"Lilac raised her glass. "To Ruby!"I laughed, knocking back my own shot. The whiskey burned down my throat, but it felt better than anything else I've ever felt. It tasted like victory. I had spent years feeling powerless, watching from the sidelines as Ambrose took everything from me, not even realizing that I was being robbed right under my nose. But now the tables had turned. I was finally in control of my life."It feels so unreal, doesn’t it?" Lilac leaned against the bar, swirling the amber liquid in her next shot. "One signature and just like that, you own everything Ambrose tried to keep from you.""Yeah," I sighed. "It makes me so happy to know that man doesn't have any power over me anymore."Ariana smirked.

    Dominic's POVFive years later..."I don't see why this meeting can't be handled over a conference call, Damien."I pushed open my office door with my shoulder, my phone propped between my ear and my collarbone. With one hand, I shrugged on my jacket while the other gripped my briefcase. "It’s not like we haven’t done this a hundred times before."Damien’s sigh came through the line. "Dom, you know how these high-rollers are. They like to see who they’re dealing with, shake hands and size up the competition. You want to lock this deal down, we do it my way.""Your way? Why the fuck? My way is better.""Because," Damien said on the other end, "when you're dealing with potential buyers for a deal this big, you look them in the eye. You gauge their reactions. You see if they're hiding anything."I sighed. "We have people for that.""And people can be wrong," Damien countered. "Come on, Dom. I already set this up. Look, the least you can do is to just show up and listen."I reached the fr

Ambrose’s final look was already seared into my mind. My hands felt cold, my heartbeat had an uneven rhythm.I followed Lilac, weaving through the crowd as we stepped into the hallway. Damien and Dominic walked ahead, Ariana right behind them. The buzz of reporters and onlookers filled the air, but none of them mattered. Not when my body still trembled from the way Ambrose had looked at me.We pushed through the front doors and into the open air. The sky was too blue, too bright, as if it was mocking me.“We need to celebrate,” Ariana announced the moment we stepped out.Dominic blew out a breath. “Ariana, maybe now isn’t the time.”Lilac nodded in agreement. “We just walked out of a courtroom. Maybe we should process what happened first.”Ariana groaned, tossing her arms up. “You two are so boring! We should be toasting to our vi

    Ruby’s POVThe courtroom was packed. Rows of spectators, journalists and legal professionals sat in stiff silence, waiting for the trial to begin. This was a big trial, after all, probably the biggest in the past five years. My father was a very rich and famous man in the state of Illinois. Being a trial to determine who killed him, everyone would want to be there.I sat between Dominic and Damien with my hands clasped together on my lap. Ariana and Lilac were seated behind us in silent support.At the front, Ambrose and Gabriel sat at the defendant’s table, dressed in clean black suits, as if their tailored clothing could cover the filth they had buried themselves in. I wondered to myself why the court had allowed them to dress so nicely, like they were going to walk out of here with their freedom.From where I sat, I couldn't see their faces. But I could see Ambrose's stuff, tensioned back. Gabriel on the other hand was twitching in his seat, his fingers tapping anxiously against th
