Chapter 152

Everywhere he turned, it seemed that William Stewart was ten steps ahead of him. It was maddening. After his father’s “mysterious” death, he took over everything, He brought up land everywhere and began funneling all of the drug money through several businesses. His favorite part was preying on overzealous businessmen and draining them dry. Exhilaration filled him as he watched them crumble at his feet. Every time he imagined Will’s face, and it brought him the closest to ecstasy. However, the more he tried to expand, Will was always in his way. Whatever land he tried to buy, Will was there.

Chapter 153

Robert’s debts soared to astronomical heights. It was amusing how easily it played out. He kept tabs on Robert, often popping up on him at unexpected times. Robert plotted against his nephew. He wanted to take Stewart Industries over and it use it as his own personal piggy bank. Robert had some connections in Singapore from his time there, and it proved useful.  However, when left to his own devices, Robert proved to be a touch dramatic. *** “Hello, sir,” Robert said over the phone, sounding too much like an overstuffed peacock. “I have something for you that I think you’ll like.” “Do you?” he yawned.  “Yes! I found a way to get money from my nephew. I think you should come see it.” He perked up. “Really? I’ll be right there.” He had to admit he was intrigued. What scheme had Robert concocted? Mistake number o

Chapter 154

(trigger warning: mentions of suicide and violence) The plan was in full motion. He felt like a child on Christmas morning. After kidnapping Jessica Royce, the next target was Emma Wells. He didn’t relish the thought of harming a new mother, but he would do what needed to be done. However, Robert had developed a penchant for killing. And it was still new so he wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone or anything. He recognized that frenzy, that fresh desire to take life. It was a powerful feeling, to be the bringer of death.Grace continued to come to him as she fell further and further into madness. That last rejection snapped something inside of her. He liked to think that it was her last grasp of reality. For a while he thought he was the catalyst of her insanity. However, it was always there. She left a perfect life in search of something she would have. Grace had everything. A man that essentially worshipped her. An h

Chapter 155

(trigger warnings: violence) Gunshots were like birdsong to him. But killing Robert didn’t bring him any satisfaction. It was like stepping on an ant. The world wouldn’t miss him at all. In fact, he felt like he was doing the world a favor. Robert was a blight. The worst kind of person out there.Not that he was any better. He was about as evil as they came, but at least he knew it. People like Robert Stewart thought they were better than they were. Thought that they were justified in their wickedness, as though their immorality was somehow for some greater good. It was laughable. At least he knew that his interests were all self-serving. Every step he took was another one towards his goal. The reason he became Ghost still waited for him. It had started simple enough. They were friends as children, and the jealousy was innocent enough. Will was popular and he wasn’t. It was really that si

Chapter 156

“You said he was Grace’s ex-husband?” Captain Whitlock fell back in his chair. “Yes,” Will’s gripped the edge of the desk. He hated how all of this was making him feel. It was like a partially healed scab was being picked at. It was a past injury flaring up, the phantom pain of a lost limb. Old hurts. Hurts that should have been forgotten long ago now all rose to the surface. And he hated it. He swore he was done with those feelings. But now they were back in full force. “What do you know about their relationship?” “I can’t do this right now,” Will said, looking at his fists. Their relationship. Those words were like a knife twisting in his gut. Ugh! I hate this! Why does this still hurt? “I’m sorry,” the captain said. “But we don’t have the luxury of tiptoeing around your feelings right now. I know this is hard, and it probably hurts. But to be

Chapter 157

It was as though he was moving through sand. Nothing registered. Nothing clicked. Not the unnatural metal of the handcuffs as they tightened around his wrists. Not the officers’ angry voices as the read him his rights, or the rough hands that pushed and shoved him into a cell. Not when those cell doors slid home with a loud, echoing clang. Captain Whitlock tried to stop the way they were mishandling him. But they had lost one of their own. A young man who was vibrant and full of life, at the beginning of his career. Another one. Because of me? “I get one phone call. I need to call Emma,” he said, his eyes not seeing anything. “Fuck you!” another officer spat at him. “Fuck your phone call!” And then punched him in the face. Will moved with the punch but didn’t protest or make a sound. He didn’t feel it. I would punch me too.“Hey!” Capta

Chapter 158

As promised, Sabrina had arranged safe and covert transportation for Emma and Lizzie. The driver was also given a password for extra security. The car ride was long, tense, silent. Lizzie always fell asleep while in a car, so Emma was thankful for her daughter’s peace. When she got older, they would tell her about how craziness her infancy had been. Their world was a mess, and they had done their best to shield her from everything. So far, they’d been successful and she wanted to keep it that way. Alex greeted her when she arrived, and ushered her inside. Sabrina took the sleeping baby girl upstairs so she could continue to rest. “I just got a call from Will’s attorney,” he said, pulling out a chair for her. “He told me of the charges. They’re completely ridiculous, but the cops are hurting and they are out for blood.” “So, no one is doing anything about it?” Emma asked, fists resting on the

Chapter 159

While Emma and Alex traveled back towards his home, Emma continued to hatch out her plan. She would need everyone to cooperate to pull this off. There so much to do and she would not be able to do it all on her own. Honestly, there wasn’t much she could do on her own. There weren’t any resources that she had that she could tap into. However, she had friends and those friends were well connected throughout the city. And she would contract their help. It takes a village, after all. For now, she would keep the grander details to herself.  They would all just have to trust her. The first thing that had to happen was let the shock of the incident die down, and then clear Will’s name. “We need the CCTV footage from Will’s neighborhood, and from in front of the police station,” she said. “And we need to try and access the cloud drive from his car.” “The wheels in your head are turning, I see,”

Chapter 160

The next morning came, and Emma felt as though she’s been hit by a bus. She was disoriented for a moment, but then the previous night’s events washed over her like a violent tidal wave beating a shoreline.  “Holy shit,” she whispered, rubbing the sleep away from her eyes. It was as though she’d aged ten years overnight. A weariness seemed to drape over her shoulders. But she couldn’t give in to her weariness. There was no time to rest. She freshened up in the bathroom and went to check on Lizzie. “Good morning,” Alex greeted her with a loud yawn. There were dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, bad sleep was on the menu last night. “Good morning. Are the babies still sleeping?” “No. Sabrina is with them downstairs. They’re eating breakfast. I came to get you.” “Okay. Shall we head down?” “Not yet. I wanted to tell you

Chapter 161

The babies went down for their nap, freeing Emma, and Sabrina to further immerse themselves in work. In the meantime, Alex was contacting Margie and trying to get a copy of the airline tickets will had gifted her.“Mr. Rossi!” Margie sputtered. “It’s an honor! My brother is an artist and he’s talking about your galleries and how amazing they are. He is going to die when I tell him I talked to you.”Alex chuckled internally. Will had always said his assistant was sweet and bubbly, and efficient. He’d be the judge of that.“What kind of art?”“All kinds. Portraits, murals, sculpture. Everything,” she gushed.“Interesting. How about you give your brother my business contact information? I’d love to feature a local artist in my next gallery.”“Oh my God,” she squealed. “You are too kind, sir!
