CHAPTER 101

Amelia’s povThe commissioner’s phone rang mid-conversation, and his face instantly turned grave. “I have to take this,” he said, rising from the table without waiting for a reply.I studied him as he paced a few feet off, speaking low and fast into the phone. Whatever it was had to be important. I glanced around at everyone else sitting at the table, but no one else seemed as intrigued as I.After a minute or so he came back, a hard look on his face. “I have to go out,” he said shortly, already heading for the door. I frowned. “Not even goodbye?”He glanced over his shoulder, clearly distracted. “We’ll talk later. Keep in touch.”And just like that, he was gone, the door clicking softly shut behind him as he made his way quickly to the car parked just outside the building. He hadn’t even left me a number or taken mine—a strange move for someone who claimed his interest in speaking with me again soon was genuine.But then again, men like him were always in a hurry—always running arou

CHAPTER 102

Amelia’s povShe held me against her chest, smoothing my hair with a hand. “Hush now, child. There is no use crying over spilt milk.”Her words didn’t help. If anything, they made me feel worse. How could she be so uncaring, so unfeeling?I drew back from her, looking straight into her eyes. “You don’t care? He’s dead, mum. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”Her gaze grew harder for a moment, and then she held my face tightly between her hands. “What does bother me, Amelia, is seeing you like this,” she said finally. “You’re stronger than this. The commissioner’s death may have been a shock for us all, but it is not the end of the world for us- nor will it be for you. I’m just glad you’re safe. That is all.”Her calmness should have been reassuring, but I only felt my anxiety spike higher. I nodded mutely, not trusting myself to say anything in return. Of course she wasn’t being completely honest. Even if she hadn’t caused the explosion herself, mum knew far more than she was willing

CHAPTER 103

Audrey’s pov“No idea,” Mark admitted. “They waited until I was out of earshot to start talking. But whatever it was, Amelia went from sultry to serious real quick.”I frowned, my mind racing. “And you didn’t overhear anything at all?”“Nope,” he said, popping the ‘p.’ “But I’m guessing it wasn’t about company strategy. Stephanie looked… let’s just say, not thrilled.”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Of course not. They’re probably plotting something.”“Well,” Mark added, his tone lightening again, “whatever they’re up to, it can’t be good. But hey, I did my part. Played the clueless assistant, and now I’ve got their guard down.”“You’re the best,” I told him sincerely. “I knew I could trust you.”“Always, boss,” he replied, a smile evident in his voice. “But I’m going to call it a night. All this pretending to be straight is exhausting.”I laughed again, grateful for his humor. “Get some rest, Mark. We’ll figure out their next move soon enough.”“Will do. Enjoy your trip!”

CHAPTER 104

Stephanie’s povI set my glass down and leaned forward, lowering my voice. “I know Barve being in jail looks bad, but it’s not irreversible. A commissioner of police around his case is dead, and with him, a lot of the heat surrounding Barve’s case is gone.”Serena raised an eyebrow. “The commissioner of police is dead? What did you do, Stephanie?”“Nothing,” I said quickly. “That wasn’t me. But the fact remains—his death changes things. The police are scrambling to figure out their next move, which gives us a window of opportunity.”I had to lie to earn her trust. It was needed.“Us?” she repeated, her tone dripping with skepticism.“Yes, us.” I looked her straight in the eye. “Barve needs people on the outside working to clear his name, and you’re the only one I trust to help me with that.”She let out another scoff. “Trust? That’s rich coming from you.”“I’m serious,” I repeated, a little more sharply. “I can’t do this alone. You know people I don’t know, and you’re better at dealin

CHAPTER 105

Audrey’s povI couldn’t believe what I had heard. It was strange and I held my breath to stop myself from a screaming in shock.“Yeah,” Nathan continued. “His car exploded last night. It’s been all over the news.”I blinked, trying to process the information. “I’ve been out of town,” I said. “I had no idea. Do they know what happened? Was it an accident?”Nathan sighed. “It’s under investigation, but the preliminary reports suggest foul play. The timing is… suspicious.”“No kidding,” I said, gripping the phone tightly. “So, what happens now? Who’s in charge of the case?”“An interim officer is overseeing things for now,” Nathan said. “But we’re still waiting for the department to assign someone new permanently.”I frowned. “Do you think this new person will handle the case fairly? Barve needs to be held accountable for what he did, Nathan. He nearly killed my father.”“I hear you,” Nathan said. “But you know how this works, Audrey. It all depends on who gets assigned. Some officers ar

CHAPTER 106

Stephanie’s povThe new commissioners green eyes bored into mine, as though searching for cracks in my confidence. After a moment, she shrugged and leaned back again. “If that’s the case, then you’re free to leave. I only wanted to make one thing clear to you.”I hesitated, unsure if her calm demeanor was a warning in disguise. “What’s that?”She picked up a file from the corner of her desk and flipped it open. “The case involving Dr. Barve,” she said, her tone deliberate. “It’s being fast-tracked. No delays, no interference. He will face trial, and there’s nothing anyone can do to save him.”My heart sank, but I kept my expression neutral. “I see. Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”She gestured toward the door, her eyes never leaving mine. “Good day, Mrs. Stephanie.”I stood, forcing a smile. “Good day, Commissioner.”As I left the office and made my way back to my car, a storm of emotions swirled within me. The new commissioner was no fool, and her no-nonsense appro

CHAPTER 107

Barve’s povThe air in the room was tight, claustrophobic. The woman sitting across from me didn’t seem bothered by my answer. If anything, her face became even calmer as I spoke. “I’m not going to tell you anything.”She breathed out, just a tinge of frustration bleeding through her armor for the first time. But her gaze remained hard. “As you wish,” she replied evenly and finally leaned back into her chair. “I am not here to debate with you Barve; but let me inform you of something.”I clenched my fists, my body tight with tension.“I’m aware that you’ve been working closely with Stephanie. Stephanie the wife of your so-called patient and boss Eric. The one you’ve been poisoning, bit by bit,” she spoke in a strangely conversational tone.My jaw tightened, but I said nothing.“Oh, and those little… side projects you’ve got going with Stephanie. Amazing stuff—literally. How’s it feel fucking another man’s wife while you watch him die little by little? I mean, seriously—people like us

CHAPTER 108

Stephanie’s povI paced back and forth in my bedroom, my hands clammy and my thoughts spinning like a storm. Barve was a liability. The commissioner had everything she needed to bring me down: the photos, the evidence, and Barve’s loose tongue. He was weak under pressure, and I couldn’t afford weakness now.Picking up my phone, I hesitated for only a moment before dialing my spy. It rang twice before he answered.“Ma’am,” his gruff voice came through.“I have a job for you,” I said, my voice cold and devoid of emotion.“Name it.”“I need you to send in a group—trusted delinquents, no loose ends. They’re to blow up the police station. Everyone inside must be eliminated, including Barve. This needs to look like an act of gang retaliation or a terrorist attack. No ties back to me. Understood?”There was a pause on the other end, and I could feel him calculating the enormity of the task.“Consider it done,” he said finally.“Good,” I replied, my voice sharp. “Call me when it’s finished.”

CHAPTER 109

Barve’s povThe commissioner’s expression didn’t change, but I could see the disgust in her eyes. “So, you admit to poisoning Eric?”I nodded slowly. “Yes. But it was her plan. She planned everything.”“And the photos of you two together?”I looked away, shame flooding through me. “We…we were involved. She promised me everything—money, power, a future. I was stupid enough to believe her.”The commissioner straightened, a small, satisfied smile playing on her lips. “Well, Mr. Barve, it seems you’ve finally decided to cooperate. Lucky for you, that might just save your life.”I didn’t feel lucky. I felt like a fool—a pawn in Stephanie’s game. And now, sitting in the ruins of the station, I realized just how expendable I was to her.The commissioner motioned to the officer, who grabbed the bloodied man and hauled him to his feet.“Take him to holding,” she said. “And get this place secured. We’re not done here.”The man was dragged out, leaving me alone with the commissioner.“As for you

CHAPTER 110

Stephanie’s pov“So what do you want to do?” Asked an impatient Amelia but I waved her to be silent.“You shouldn’t bother about that, my little child. I’ve got it all handled very well. We are here, are we not?”“So you want to kill him here?” I laughed at my daughter. “Of course not, child. I would not do that. I would instead make sure that I watch his progress and when it’s getting better, I plunger it back into the terrible condition he is in now. He won’t get better.”“And Crawford?” Zach asked as I waved him off.“Like I said, I’ll take care of it.”“Stephanie,” he said, leaning forward. “You know as well as we do that Eric’s time is up. If he stays alive, none of us will get what we deserve.”Amelia nodded, her voice low but firm. “He’s already weak. It wouldn’t take much to… you know, finish it. The inheritance could finally be ours.”I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Eric had lingered too long, and his recovery was ruining my plans.But I was scared that if our name
