Chapter 131

Ella's POVMorning sunlight cut through the window curtains, slicing apart the comfortable shades of the room. I was the first to stir. Dante grunted at climbing out of bed, seeming tense, rigid in air filled with confusion and afterthoughts."What have I done," he swore, light, under his breath.I opened my eyes and stared back at him, innocence draped over me like a mantle. He whipped toward me; his face contorted between shock, guilt, and anger."What the…what happened?" His words were sharp, pointing accusing, but the doubt in the tone betrayed his vulnerable structure.I sat up, clutching the sheet to my chest. "Dante, I. I didn't mean for this to happen," I stuttered shamefacedly, my voice shaking; I bit into my lip, letting my eyes well with unshed tears.He dragged his hands over his face and groaned. "You didn't mean for this to happen? Ella, you should've stopped this! You knew I was drunk, that I wasn't thinking straight!”"I tried!" I wailed, my voice breaking. "You… you w

132: Torn Reflections

DANTE'S POVThe shower was hot, but that wouldn't burn off the shame sticking to me. My head leaned against the cool tile, my hands were on the wall bracing myself, and the water ran in over me. I needed last night to just leave me alone: Ella in tears confessing, an expression on her face, and how her touch felt so wrong yet so familiar.I gritted my teeth. The memory closed in on me, my body having betrayed me, having betrayed her, yet above it all, it wasn't Ella's name that slipped past my lips.It was Camilla.The soft, warm sound of her laughter still echoed in my head now, as it always had when this life hadn't crushed the souls out of us. She'd always been there no matter how hard I pushed her away. Last night, alcoholic fog and misery consumed me; she was the one flashing before my eyes, and she was the one I reached toward.I slapped my fist onto the tile, the sharp stab of pain grounding me momentarily. What the hell's wrong with me?My head twisted some more, the tortured

133: Fractured Loyalties

Camilla's POVA month. Thirty days since I had walked out of Dante's life. Thirty nights that I had spent tossing and turning, haunted by the echo of his accusations. Thirty mornings of waking up to my father's apartment, the silence around me is a grim reminder of Jasper's absence.I sat at my desk in my office at C-Care Cosmetics and stared blankly at the reports in front of me. The numbers were good, better than expected, but I was not. I extended my hand to reach for the coffee, slightly shaking. It had gone cold again.“Ms. Draven?” my assistant, Clara, cut into my reflections, warning that she was probably wondering if that's what I still wished to be referred to anyway. Only a few people knew about our separation and we aren't even divorced yet. "Yes?" I said, out of the trance."Your meeting with the product development team is in a quarter of an hour."I nodded. "Thank you, Clara. I'll be there.”She stood and went to her door, I leaned back in my chair, shutting my eyes for

134: RISING REVENGE

Tom's POVThe wheels of my chair crunched softly as I rolled over the marble floor of my study. This wasn't the life I'd visualized-not glued to this damn wheelchair, not gutted of the power and presence that had always defined me.But power was only partly in the body. It was in the head, the will, the execution.And I hadn't even begun yet."Sir," my right-hand man, said from the door to break my train of thought. "The latest updates are prepared. Shall I proceed?""Speak," I said sharply.He stepped forward, holding a folder in his hand. "Our sources confirm that Dante Draven and Camilla have separated. She's currently staying at her father's apartment. They are both running their companies. Their son, Jasper, is currently missing for four months now.”I leaned back in my chair, steepling my fingers. "And no leads on the boy?""None," he admitted, his voice hesitant. "But there's speculation.I raised an eyebrow. "Speculation doesn't interest me. I need facts. Keep digging.""Yes,

135: WHO CARES?

Dante's PovI leaned back in my chair and began to survey the towering piles of documents on my desk. It was another night over here in this office, but that did not bother me. The office has been my escape from the taunting memories in the mansion. I found the office mote comforting with every employee gone late at night. The door cracked open. "Still burning the midnight oil?" Her tone was light, and playful, yet the undertone wasn't hard to catch.I looked up. Ella leaned against the doorframe, bright red lips curving into a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. She held two cups of coffee and strolled over, setting one down in front of me."I didn't ask for this," I said flatly, pushing the cup aside. “And haven't you left yet?” "Consider it a friendly gesture," she said, sliding into the chair across from me. "You look like you could use some company."I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Ella, I'm busy.""And I'm just here to keep you company while you work," she said, crossin

136: HARD TO ADMIT

Camilla's PovThe hum of the refrigerator was basically the only sound in my dad's apartment. I huddled onto the couch, my phone clutched tightly in my hand with Kate's name highlighted on my screen. For what had to be the hundredth time that day, I pressed "call."It was ringing at first, but as always, I already knew how this was going to turn out."Hello, this is Kate! I'm not able to come to the phone right now, but leave me a message and I'll get back to you."Beep.I swallowed the lump in my throat as I made myself speak, "Kate, it's Camilla. Please, I have to talk with you. It's urgent. Can you call me back the moment you can?”I hung up and flung the phone onto the couch beside me. My chest was tight, frustration knotting my breath. It wasn't right, how she could ignore me, how Anthony could ignore me.Precise questions, or rather unforthcoming answers, were whirling around my brain as some sort of unending storm. Every voicemail that was left for Kate, every call for Anthony-

137: THE UNKNOWN TEXT

Dante's POVMy office air was heavier and quieter than it usually is. The more pages of Alex's report I trawled through, everyone bringing me that much closer to Anthony, the satisfaction bloomed inside of me. Not quite, I wanted him.The door squeaked open, and then he stepped inside, both triumph and reserve so tensely locked on his features."We found her," Alex pronounced, flat.I set the report down on my desk and looked up. "Kate?"He nodded. "She's staying in some small apartment in Fairview, a quiet town about forty minutes from here. She's been laying low, and hasn't left the apartment in two days.""And Anthony?" I asked, leaning forward."Not yet," Alex admitted. "But if she's there, he'll come to her eventually. He has to."I didn't like dealing with uncertainties but Alex was right, Anthony wouldn't leave his wife hanging in the wind without having his back against the wall."Do we have anybody on her?""Yes," said Alex. "Two men on shifts round the clock. They're coveri

138: TRAP FOR WHO?

Dante's POVI stood at the large windows of my office, looking out toward the skyline as the pulse of the city vibrated in the air. Lights blurred into a kaleidoscope of motion, but none were enough to distract me from the task at hand."She's moving," Alex's voice came through the phone, tight and urgent. "Kate's on the move. We’ve got confirmation from the surveillance team."I straightened, instantly alert. "Where?""Heading into the city. Looks like she's going to meet Anthony."That's all I needed to hear, really. My instincts were in overdrive-from my stomach right down to the back of my neck, it screamed that this was the moment I'd been searching for, right in my face. I'd chased the break in this case for months, and I wasn't about to let it get away from me now."Track her every move," I ordered, already reaching for my jacket. "I want eyes on her, 24/7. If Anthony's anywhere nearby, I want to know about it. The minute he makes contact, we move."Alex didn't hesitate. "You g

139: THE FORGOTTEN ENEMY.

CAMILLA'S POVThe road was dark, and endless, stretching before me while the cryptic message still rang in my head like some jeer."Meet me. Alone. I have something you want."What could he or she have? What? Now, something felt wrong; it felt like a jigsaw having a piece pressed into the wrong place in my mind. Something inside my brain screamed, ‘Turn around,’ while curiosity, no, desperation, shoved me on.The thick shadows of the deserted road barely reached my car headlamps as they cut across. It was way too quiet on the outside-the kind of quietness that gives one goosebumps. I heaved a little closer, tightening my grip to steady the wheel against the unsteadiness bubbling inside."This is stupid," I grumbled, turning my head to glance at my phone on the passenger seat. "You're walking into something, Camilla. Be ready."And then out of nowhere, bright, harsh headlights filled up my rearview mirror. They were coming at a high speed."What the…?”It was barely formed when it all

140: GUILT CONFESSION.

Dante's POV I sat in the car, my eyes nailed on Kate pacing across this small clearing in this area, her walk frantic as one waits for the clock to strike on a ticking bomb.Alex leaned forward in his seat beside me, staring at her in just as much curiosity. "She's jittery, she's looking for somebody, " growled suspiciously."Anthony," I returned, the coolness in my voice, neutral. "She has to be looking for him."We had men behind trees surrounding the clearing, stationed at strategic positions, in case Anthony did show up, but he wasn't to get away. Hours passed, though, and nothing. I was running out of patience yet couldn't let my guard down.Alex stirred, easing the fit of his leather jacket. "What if she's just stalling? This could be a set-up.""Then we make her talk," I said and ended the discussion.The night wore on and Kate finally stopped pacing. She consulted her phone once more and her shoulders slumped in what looked a lot like defeat. Then she turned and began walking
