CHAPTER NINETY ONE

An hour later, Richard walked into the precinct like he owned it, Barrett Smith at his side. His tailored suit probably cost more than most detectives made in a month.Louis watched through the two-way mirror as Richard settled into the interview room, exchanging quiet words with his lead counsel. The sight made his stomach turn."Remember," Captain Benjamin muttered from behind him, "stick to procedure. One wrong move and his lawyer will shut this down faster than you can blink."Louis nodded tightly, his case file clutched in his hands. "I got it, Cap."The interview room felt colder than usual as Louis entered, settling into the chair across from Richard. His smile never wavered."Mr. Stone," Louis began, setting his recorder on the table. "Thank you for coming in. For the record, the time is 01:00 PM, and present in the room are me, Detective Louis Grant, and Mr.Richard Stone, and his legal counsel, Barrett Smith."Barrett Smith leaned forward. "Let the record show that my client

CHAPTER NINETY TWO

Sarah’s stance was something Louis had seen before—it was the kind of thing you picked up after years undercover. She was younger than he'd expected, maybe mid-thirties. Even without looking up, there was something about her that made him understand Seth's warning about 'intense.’"You're late," she said, still focused on her phone, her fingers tapping rapidly across the screen. A half-empty cup of tea sat cooling by her elbow."Traffic," Seth said, sliding into the booth. Louis took the seat facing the door, his back straight, shoulders tense. Some habits you couldn't shake, suspended or not.Sarah finally put her phone down and pushed her glasses up, looking straight at Louis. “So you're the one who's got Richard Stone running scared enough to plant evidence."Sarah—" Seth started."What? We're not pretending this is a social call." She waved down a server. "The house special dumplings, please. And more tea." Her attention snapped back to Louis. "Tell me everything. Start with the v

CHAPTER NINETY THREE

Isabella walked around their living room whilst holding her phone tightly. She could not remember how many times she had called Seth, but each time the call ended up in voicemail. After that phone conversation, he had hurried out during supper and hardly spoke for hours. These days, that was becoming their new normal - him rushing out, coming home late, or leaving before the sun was up. They barely had time to just be together anymore.It had been ages since they'd had a real date or even just a quiet night in. Every time she tried to plan something, work pulled him away. Or at least, that's what he called it. She knew what he was really doing - trying to track down the people who'd hurt her. And yeah, it was sweet how he wanted to protect her, keep her safe. But she needed him home and in one piece, not risking his life playing hero. Sitting here, waiting, imagining everything that could go wrong? That was its own kind of tortureShe tried his number one more time, already knowing w

CHAPTER NINETY FOUR

The pancakes were half-eaten on their plates when Seth's hand found hers across the table. His thumb traced slow circles on her palm, sending tingles up her arm. He still had this effect on her. One touch and she was a goner."So..." His voice was low and Isabella found herself leaning forward unconsciously, drawn to him like she always had been. "I think I owe you something."“What's that?" Isabella's voice came out breathier than she meant it to. God, why couldn’t she control herself when he was around her? This man has her completely under his spell "I'm sorry." She became aware that she was out of breath when his eyes met hers. "I apologise for fleeing. I apologise for not being there for you when you most needed me." She saw his throat twitch as he swallowed forcefully. "Every single day I regret it.""Hey," she called out softly, squeezing his hand. Her heart was beating so loud she was sure he could hear it. "Your action was expected. I didn't communicate when I needed to and

CHAPTER NINETY FIVE

Tara's head was pounding. Her mouth felt like sandpaper, and something way too bright was hitting her face. Groaning, she rolled over to escape the light, only to bump into something solid and warm.Her eyes snapped open."Shit," she whispered, heart racing as she stared at Louis's sleeping face just inches from hers. Her brain frantically pieced together fragments from last night - the laptop, the whiskey he'd pulled out when coffee wasn't cutting it anymore, laughing about something stupid, and then..."Oh shit," she muttered again, lifting the covers slightly. Yep. Definitely naked. Both of them.She let her head fall back against the pillow, squeezing her eyes shut. Maybe if she just lay very still, this wouldn't be real. Maybe she could just—Louis shifted beside her, his arm brushing against hers. Her eyes flew open again as she felt him freeze."Um," he said eloquently, voice rough with sleep."Don't look at me," Tara blurted out, yanking the sheet up to her chin. "Just...don't

CHAPTER NINETY SIX

Richard Stone wasn't a man who panicked easily, but watching the Bloomberg ticker scroll across his office screen made his stomach churn. Stone Enterprises stock was haemorrhaging value with each passing hour. His phone hadn't stopped ringing since the market opened."Another one," his assistant called from the doorway. "Peterson Group is demanding an immediate conference call." "Tell them to wait,” Richard barked, standing abruptly. “I need Langston in my office right now.” Five minutes later, Harold Langston shuffled in, looking exactly as he had for the past thirty years - slightly rumpled suit, wire-rimmed glasses, carrying that same battered leather portfolio he'd had since Richard was a boy. The man was pushing seventy, but his mind was still razor-sharp. He had to be, to have survived this long in the Stone family's orbit."Quite the morning," Langston remarked mildly, settling into his usual chair. He pulled out a handkerchief and cleaned his glasses, a habit Richard had wat

CHAPTER NINETY SEVEN

The next seventy-two hours played out like some twisted corporate thriller. Richard watched it all unfold from the corner of his office, powerless to stop the dominoes from falling. The SEC agents didn't just raid one floor - they swept through the building like a virus, downloading hard drives, boxing up files, interviewing anyone who'd talk. Poor Barrett looked like he'd aged ten years in three days, running between conference rooms with his tie perpetually crooked.Victoria, though - she was something else entirely. While everyone else scrambled, she moved through the chaos like a shark through bloody waters. Richard watched her orchestrate their defense with the precision of a conductor. Every leaked document seemed to have a counter-narrative ready. Every accusation met with a carefully crafted response. She even managed to turn the protests into a PR opportunity, sending down coffee and doughnuts to the "concerned citizens exercising their constitutional rights."Old Langston pr

CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT

Louis stared at the ground, his throat tight. The words he'd been fighting all night finally escaped: "I hate to admit this," Louis said, his voice barely above a whisper, "but I'm actually scared. This isn't like her at all. Tara's methodical, cautious. She wouldn't just..." He trailed off, running both hands through his already disheveled hair."There must be someone we can call," Seth suggested. "A family member? Friend? Someone who knows more about her personal life?"Louis let out a bitter laugh. "That's the thing - I've known her for months, worked closely with her, and now..." He shook his head. "I realize I don't know a damn thing about her personal life. She's always been private, but I never pushed. I should have—""Her personnel file," he said suddenly, straightening up. "It would have emergency contacts, next of kin..." His face fell as quickly as it had lit up. "But I've been suspended. Getting access might be... complicated."Isabella stepped forward, breaking free from

CHAPTER NINETY NINE

When they pulled up to Seth’s house, he stepped out and opened the front door, motioning for Louis to follow. “Come on, everything’s in the out-of-bounds room. Stuff from old jobs.”“Barcelona? Las Vegas?” Louis asked, stepping inside.Seth turned and shot him a sly smile. “Why do I feel like I’m not going to like this?”“Probably because you won’t.” Seth grinned over his shoulder as he led Louis down the hallway. Isabella trailed behind, still scrolling on her phone. “Sarah loves over-preparing. She once sent me into a gala dressed like James Bond when all I needed to do was drop off an envelope.”Louis stopped short, raising an eyebrow. “Are you serious?“Dead serious. But guess what? The envelope wasn’t even opened because my ‘look’ convinced them I was too important to mess with. That’s Sarah for you.”Seth pushed open the door to the room, revealing a collection of garment bags, shoeboxes, and neatly folded clothes laid out on the bed. Louis raised an eyebrow. “This looks more li

CHAPTER HUNDRED

Louis adjusted his glasses for the hundredth time as he stood beside Sarah at the gallery entrance, watching the well-heeled crowd filter in. The suit felt uncomfortably perfect, like a second skin he hadn't quite grown into yet."Stop overthinking it," Sarah murmured, effortlessly balancing a champagne flute while nodding to passing guests. "You look fine.""Easy for you to say," Louis whispered back. Sarah was the picture of elegance in a deep burgundy dress that somehow managed to look both expensive and understated. "You actually belong here."She shot him a sideways glance. "Nobody belongs here. That's the secret. Half these people are trying just as hard as you are to look like they fit in." She smiled warmly at an elderly couple passing by. "Mrs. Benedict! How lovely to see you."Louis watched as Sarah seamlessly shifted into conversation with the couple, her laugh genuine, her gestures natural. He had to admit, she was good. Really good."And this," Sarah turned slightly, incl
