Noah's POV I groaned as I sank deeper into the worn leather seat of Mike’s car. My head was pounding, each throb a reminder of the whiskey burning through my veins. I felt like I’d been hit by a truck, and every bump on the road made it worse.“I messed up, Mike,” I slurred, struggling to string my thoughts together. “I went to her office... said things... bad things.”Mike shot me a glance, his hands tightening around the steering wheel. “You did a number on yourself,” he said. “Why’d you storm out of the meeting like that? You know you’re not supposed to just leave like that—”“I couldn’t stay there.” The words came out thick like they were stuck in my throat. “It was like… I couldn’t breathe, like this pressure in my chest. I had to see her, had to… say something.” I let out a bitter laugh. “And I ended up saying all the wrong things.”“What exactly did you say to her?” Mike asked, his eyes flicking between me and the road as we neared my apartment.I pressed my palms against my t

Rachael's POV.I sat slumped in my office chair, haggardly wiping the tears streaming down my cheeks. I couldn’t stop them; they kept falling, mixing with the ache in my chest. Noah’s words echoed in my mind, reopening a wound I’d tried so hard to bury. I thought I’d moved past it, but all the pain came rushing back as if I’d never healed. My hands trembled as I clutched the edge of the desk, trying to steady myself.Just then, the door creaked open, and I quickly tried to compose myself, swiping at my face. “Mommy?” Ariella’s small voice broke through my haze. She stood in the doorway with wide, concerned eyes, and beside her was Sophia.“Rachael, what’s going on?” Sophia asked her expression a mix of alarm and concern. “You’ve been crying.”“I’m fine,” I said, my voice coming out shakier than I intended. “Just… having a rough day.” I forced a smile, but it felt weak, even to me.Ariella walked over to me and reached up to touch my face, her little brows furrowed with worry. “Mommy,

Kelvin's POVI knew what Kim could be capable of and among them all, never have I ever thought of her capabilities to hurt someone, especially her sister.I was stunned and tongue-tied when I heard the conversation between her and Mrs Houston." Is it possible that what Racheal was saying then might be true? When Racheal said it was all a setup, was she speaking the truth?"I was pondering my thoughts.

Kim’s POVI’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about Noah every single day since he walked out of my life. No matter how hard I tried to push him from my mind, he was always there, haunting my thoughts like a ghost that wouldn’t leave. The things he said, the way he looked at me, it all lingered, reminding me of everything I had lost—and everything I still wanted.For too long, I had convinced myself that he was out of reach. That maybe his heart had finally slipped away from me for good, tethered somewhere I couldn't reach. But recently, something changed. I saw how he looked at Racheal, and a spark of jealousy flickered inside me, igniting an idea. Maybe he wasn’t entirely lost to me after all. Maybe I could pull him back into my orbit, and remind him of what we had before she ever showed up.And so, that’s how I found myself making my way to his office that day. It was early evening, and the hallways of his building were empty, quiet, and dimly lit. I could feel the tension tigh

Unknown Pov.Los Angeles had a way of swallowing secrets whole, of hiding them under neon lights and cracked concrete. It was the perfect place for someone like me to operate, to weave webs invisible to anyone who didn’t know where to look. This city, with its endless alleys and shadowy corners, was my kind of playground. And tonight, I had a game to play.I waited, seated in a small, dimly lit room in the back of one of my usual spots. The man across from me looked nervous, tapping his fingers on the edge of the table, darting his eyes around like he expected to see ghosts. His name wasn’t important; he was just one of my watchers, someone who owed me enough that he knew better than to keep secrets. And tonight, he had plenty to share.“Sir” he started, his voice barely a whisper. I didn’t bother answering. I just looked at him, waiting, letting him sweat it out. People reveal more when they’re nervous, and I was interested in every detail.He swallowed, gathering the courage to cont
