Chapter Sixty-one: Breaking point

Kayla’s POV I stared at my phone, Catherine’s voice still echoing in my head: “Make your decision, Kayla. By morning, it’ll be too late. And if you can’t choose, I will.” My chest tightened as I glanced at the clock. It was almost dawn. I needed to think. No, I needed to act. But every time I tried to picture the next move, Lexi’s face would flash in my mind—her arms around me last night, her voice full of concern, the way she always had Dad’s back. How could I betray her? My phone vibrated in my hand. The screen lit up with Catherine’s name. I froze. The call disconnected then rang again. My stomach churned as I finally answered. “I—I told you I need time.” Catherine’s voice was sharp, her patience gone. “And I told you time is up. Make a choice, Kayla. Help me take her out of the picture, or you’ll wish you had. I don’t wait for indecisive little girls.” “I’ll give you my answer by morning,” I stammered, desperation slipping into my tone. A low chuckle. “By morning, huh? Fi

Chapter sixty-two: The fall

Catherine's POV The room was dimly lit, the faint glow of a single candle casting dancing shadows on the walls. Catherine paced back and forth, the phone pressed to her ear. Her red lips curved into a wicked smile as a familiar voice spoke on the other end. “Is it time for me to step into the game?” the voice asked. It was calm, smooth, and dripping with confidence. “Very soon, my dear,” Catherine purred. “Very soon. After the accident, you’ll have your moment.” There was a chuckle on the other end. “I’m ready whenever you are. Just give me the signal.” “Oh, you’ll know,” she said, her tone sharp now. “This will be a night Lexi won’t forget—if she survives.” The call ended with a soft click, and Catherine stared at the screen for a moment before whispering to herself, “It’s already in motion.” Lexi’s POV The car hummed along the road as Carla and I sat in silence. My thoughts were still tangled in Julian’s call earlier, his voice heavy with worry. I sighed, running my fingers

Chapter sixty-three : Double

Carla’s POV The icy water dragged at me, but I pushed on, my muscles screaming with each stroke. The small motorboat was a dark silhouette ahead, waiting exactly where we’d planned. As I broke through the surface, gasping for air, Victor Hale’s figure came into view. “About time,” he muttered, his voice sharp with impatience as he leaned down to grab my hand. I ignored his tone, too drained to care. “You wanted the job done right, didn’t you?” I shot back as he pulled me into the boat. Etienne sat at the helm, a smirk tugging at his lips. “Is she gone?” I dropped onto the wet deck, wiping water from my face. “She’s dead. There’s no way she survived that.” Victor handed me a towel, his expression unreadable. “You’re sure?” “Yes,” I snapped. “I made sure she wouldn’t make it out alive.” Etienne chuckled darkly, revving the engine. “Then let’s get out of here. Catherine’s waiting.” As the boat sped away from the riverbank, I leaned back and let the cold night air whip against m

Sixty-four: Pieces in motion

Kayla’s POV “Any updates on Lexi?” Dad’s voice broke the silence as he leaned against the kitchen counter, his expression tense. I nodded, setting my mug down on the table. “I just spoke to her. She’s fine, Dad.” He frowned. “And? Where is she?” “She said their car broke down, so they had to crash at a motel for the night. Nothing serious,” I replied, keeping my tone casual. Dad exhaled, the lines on his face easing. “That’s a relief. I’ve been worried sick.” “She sounded normal,” I added, hoping to reassure him. “There’s nothing to worry about.” He nodded, though his eyes lingered on me for a moment before he turned away. “Good. Keep checking in with her.” “I will,” I promised. As he disappeared into his study, I picked up my phone again, scrolling through my messages. Something about our conversation nagged at me. Lexi had sounded… off. But maybe I was just overthinking it. Lexi’s POV The sound of Elise pacing in the living room was impossible to ignore, even o

Sixty-five: The deceptions edge

Alexa’s POV Julian’s penthouse loomed with its usual grandeur, but tonight, tension replaced its usual elegance. My heart pounded in sync with the echo of Martha’s heels clicking against the marble floor as she was escorted in. I knew this meeting could unravel everything if I wasn’t careful. Julian stood near the floor-to-ceiling window, the city lights casting a cold glow on his chiseled features. He turned when she entered, his expression dark and unreadable. “Martha,” he said, his voice as sharp as a blade. “Mr. Julian,” Martha stammered, her hands trembling. I sat on the plush sofa, deliberately exuding calm. “Martha,” I said gently, feigning warmth. “Please, sit.” Her wide eyes darted toward me before she hesitated, then sat down as instructed. I could feel her panic; she was unraveling before us. Julian didn’t waste any time. “Start talking,” he ordered, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. Martha’s POV My hands clenched against the soft fabric of the sofa, the wei

Sixty-six : A deal with Daniel

The restaurant had an air of quiet elegance settling over the room. The hum of conversation around us felt distant, like I was in a bubble. Elise and I sat across from Daniel, the private investigator I’d hired. He had sharp eyes, calculating and cautious, like a predator sizing up its prey. “So,” I started, trying to keep my voice steady, “you’re saying you’ll be able to find out who’s behind this?” Daniel leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping against the side of his coffee cup. His eyes scanned the both of us, a hint of amusement on his lips. “I didn’t say I’d find out everything, but I’ll do my best. I’ve got connections—people who know things.” Elise shifted nervously beside me, her fingers fiddling with the edge of her napkin. “You’re sure you can handle this? It’s… it’s not just some simple case. My best friend’s life is at risk.” “Don’t worry, Miss…?” Daniel raised an eyebrow, his attention now on Elise. “Elise,” she replied quickly, her tone clipped. “Lexi and I h

Chapter sixty-seven: Unexpected News

Lexi’s POV The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the sterile scent of the hospital room. A low hum of machines filled the air. My head throbbed, my vision blurry, and I felt disoriented as I tried to sit up. My body felt heavy, weak, and unfamiliar. “Lexi?” Elise’s voice cut through the haze, a touch of panic lacing her words. She was sitting beside me, her hand on mine, her face tight with worry. “Lexi, are you awake?” I blinked, trying to focus. “Elise… what happened?” My voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper. “You passed out,” she said, relief flooding her tone. “I was so worried. You just—” She stopped, swallowing hard as if the memory of seeing me collapse was too much to handle. Before I could say anything else, the door opened and a nurse rushed in. “What’s going on?” she asked, her eyes darting from me to Elise. “Elise,” I heard the nurse say as she bent over to check my vitals, “Let me know if she’s responsive.” “She’s awake. She just spoke to me,” Eli

Chapter sixty-Eight : Threads of deception

Julian’s POV The moment I got the intel on Catherine’s hideout, my blood boiled. For weeks, she had evaded us, her twisted plans always just out of reach. But now, justice was a step closer. I stood with the DPO and his men outside the decrepit cabin, my fists clenched. “This ends today,” I muttered, my voice low but firm. The officers nodded, their weapons ready. I signaled for them to move, and they surged forward, breaking through the door. Catherine barely flinched when they stormed in, her piercing gaze meeting mine as if she’d been expecting us. “Well, well,” she sneered, standing slowly with her hands raised. “If it isn’t the hero himself.” I ignored her venom and stepped forward. “Catherine, you’re under arrest for attempted murder and countless other crimes. Your reign of terror is over.” Her lips curled into a smirk. “Reign of terror? Dramatic, aren’t we?” Before I could respond, I felt a hand on my arm. I turned to see Lexi. She was trembling, her hazel eyes w

Chapter sixty-nine : The silent puppeteer

Julian I stood by the window in my office, staring out into the sprawling city below. My reflection glared back at me from the glass—stern, cold, and unyielding. Catherine’s arrest had lifted a weight, but it wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. “Victor Hale is still a loose end,” I muttered, gripping the edge of the windowsill. His name alone churned my gut. The man was slippery, unpredictable—a snake coiled in the shadows. A knock on the door disrupted my thoughts. “Come in,” I barked. Lexi stepped inside. She was composed, as always, but there was something different in her demeanor today. Her movements were measured, her eyes flicking around the room as if gauging the space. “You wanted to see me?” she asked, her voice soft yet steady. I nodded, gesturing for her to sit. She didn’t. “We need to talk about your mother,” I said. Her jaw tightened, but she masked it quickly. “What about her?” “I can’t let her roam free. She’s dangerous, Lexi. Too dangerous. For you, f

Chapter seventy : law and order

Julian The courtroom was a battlefield—a war of words, evidence, and strategy. I stood at the back, arms crossed, watching as the judge’s gavel struck to bring the room to order. Catherine sat at the defense table, her face a picture of practiced vulnerability. Her lawyer looked polished and confident, but I could see through the façade. They had something up their sleeve, and I wasn’t going to let my guard down. Then she walked in. Lexi was poised, dressed impeccably, her face unreadable. She walked past me without a glance, taking her seat beside Catherine’s lawyer. I leaned toward the DPO. “This doesn’t feel right.” He frowned. “What do you mean?” “She’s up to something. I can feel it.” The DPO sighed. “Julian, you’ve got to trust the system. Catherine’s case is solid. She’s going down for this.” I didn’t respond. My instincts told me otherwise. Alexa I sat beside the lawyer, my pulse steady, my breathing controlled. This was my moment to cement everything. Cath
