Kamille's POV I stepped out of the car, glancing around for any sign of the lawyer. The park was quiet, the surrounding buildings casting long shadows in the fading afternoon light. I felt a sense of unease settle in the pit of my stomach as I scanned the area."Are you sure this is the right place?" Zeke asked, his brow furrowed with concern as he joined me on the sidewalk."Yes, this is the address the lawyer gave me," I replied, my voice tinged with uncertainty. "The mail was sent to my house, just like he said it would be."We waited in silence, the minutes stretching into what felt like an eternity. I checked my phone, hoping for some sign, some indication that we were in the right place. But there was nothing.Just then, my phone buzzed. I looked down to see a new message. My heart skipped a beat as I read it:Your mail was intercepted. This is the real venue, 1457 Lexington Avenue, Lusborg.I showed the message to Zeke, my hands trembling slightly. "They intercepted the mai

Kamille's POV Tucking my children into bed each night had become a sacred ritual for me. It was the one time of day when everything felt serene and normal. Tonight was no different. I first went to the boys' room. Torin, Royer, and Reon were already half asleep, their soft breathing filling the room. I bent down, kissed each of their foreheads, and whispered, "Goodnight, my loves. Sweet dreams."As I left their room, I headed toward Tyris's room which is closest to mine. When I opened her door, I found her clutching her new favorite teddy bear, the one Zeke had given her during our hospital stay. She looked so peaceful, holding onto that small piece of comfort. I tucked her in gently, careful not to wake her, and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight, baby," I whispered.I returned to my own room, but sleep evaded me. Zeke's words about the lawyer kept replaying in my mind. Why would they plant a dead body in the room? What was their plan? The questions swirled around, re

Zeke's POV The sudden chime of my phone brought me back from my thoughts. I glanced down at my phone to see a message from one of the special operations members assigned to my kids.The kids are ready to be picked up.Christopher really did not have it in mind to send me the closing time information. There was something about Christopher that was unsettling in my heart. I really can’t wait to find out."It's time to go," I said, standing up abruptly. "I'll see you soon."“Oh brother,” Zane complained. “We really thought that we could finally have you to ourselves at least for the night.”“Yes, Zeke. We thought we could hang out together tonight,” Fletcher joined in.I looked at them briefly and understood where they were coming from, but I had a responsibility to my kids and Kamille. “Sorry guys, I'll make it up to you guys,”Without waiting for their response, I walked out of the office and headed straight to my car. With the driver in the seat and Andrew in the passenger seat, we d

Kamille's POV The best part was that every single damn time I set my eyes on him, in pain or in joy, all I wanted was for him to be mine and for me to be his. Together with our kids, making one big beautiful family.Zeke joined me at the table, his gaze lingering on me until I felt uncomfortable. “What?” I asked, trying to break the silence.“Sorry,” he said, looking away. “I didn’t mean to stare.” He gulped down the alcohol in front of him, and we sat in silence for a while longer.I bet that although we still had our senses intact, we were both somewhat tipsy at the end of the dinner. Not wanting to be seen in that state Zeke escorted me to the elevator that would take us to the private car park. The elevator suddenly felt hot. I felt it was just on my part, but I noticed Zeke unbutton his tuxedo, taking it off, then he also went ahead to undo a few buttons on his shirt, revealing his perfect Adam's apple and showing off a bit of that apple in the form of his chest. I gulped hard

Ellen's POVI stared out the window as my father and I drove towards the outskirts of town. It had been a long time since I had left town and I certainly did not think that I would be leaving this way. I did not expect that good-for-nothing lawyer to come and try to mess things up.I took a breath and turned to my father. “Dad,” I finally broke the silence, my voice clear and audible, “What exactly is the situation with the lawyer?”Father sighed deeply, his eyes fixed on the road. “He was caught trying to sneak out of the hospital grounds to meet with Kamille. We’ve put enough security around him now, so he won’t be able to reach out to Kamille again. But surprisingly, the latest report says he’s lost his memory.”I felt a flicker of relief, but it was quickly replaced by suspicion. “That’s great, but if he’s lost his memory, then who the hell sent a message to Kamille?”“That’s what we’re going to find out.” His voice was firm, a resolve I knew all too well.We continued in silence
