Chapter 21

Kehlani’s POVI arrived at Alec’s penthouse with my mind still tangled in knots. After the meeting at his office, I hadn’t been able to shake the uneasy feeling creeping down my spine. Alec knew something about Rowley—something that made him tense just at the mention of his name.I pushed open the front door and found Alec standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, a whiskey glass in his hand. His shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled up, and his dark green eyes were locked on the city lights beyond. He looked...troubled.I folded my arms. “Are you going to tell me why you’ve been acting like I just waltzed into a death trap?”He didn’t turn around immediately. He swirled the whiskey in his glass, silent for a long moment. Then, finally, he spoke.“Rowley is dangerous.”I scoffed. “So you’ve said. Repeatedly. And yet, you haven’t told me why.”Alec turned then, his gaze sharp. “Because I was trying to keep you out of it.”I let out a humorless laugh. “News flash, Alec. I’m

Chapter 22

Alec’s POVI sat in the dimly lit VIP section of Nocturne, a private club known for hosting New York’s elite—the ones who ran the city in ways the public never knew about. A glass of whiskey sat untouched in front of me, its golden liquid catching the soft glow of the chandelier overhead. Across the table, Rowley leaned back, a smug grin tugging at his lips.“Didn’t expect you to reach out so soon, Castor,” he said, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “You must really be eager to see me.”I exhaled through my nose, a slow, measured sound. “I don’t play games, Rowley. If I’m here, it’s for a reason.”He chuckled, taking a leisurely sip of his drink. “And here I thought you just missed our old times.”“Cut the bullshit.” My voice was calm, but the weight behind it was enough to make the smirk on his face falter for a second. “You’ve been making moves. I want to know why.”Rowley sighed dramatically. “Alec, Alec, Alec… You wound me.” He placed a hand over his chest mockingly. “Why do

Chapter 23

Alec’s POVThe night air was crisp as I stepped out of Nocturne, the city lights flickering off the sleek black car parked by the curb. Rowan was already there, leaning against the passenger side, his phone in hand. When he noticed me, he pushed off the car and straightened.“You’re done early,” he remarked.I adjusted the cuffs of my jacket. “Not quite.”Rowan arched a brow, waiting.“I’ve got a meeting inside,” I continued, nodding toward the bar entrance. “Don’t wait up.”He gave a slow nod, but before he could reply, my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen. Kehlani.That was unexpected.I answered. “What is it?”“Alec,” her voice slurred, the sound of laughter and shuffling in the background. “Where are you?”I frowned. “Are you drunk?”A soft giggle. “Maybe.”That was all I needed to hear.I lowered my phone slightly, speaking to Rowan. “Bring the car around.”Rowan’s expression flickered with mild confusion. “What about your meeting?”“I’ll shift it.”Rowan didn't question it f

Chapter 24

Kehlani’s POVA pounding headache greeted me the moment I woke up. The dull throbbing at my temples made me groan as I squeezed my eyes shut, attempting to will away the pain. My mouth felt dry, my limbs sluggish, and worst of all—the events of last night came rushing back with horrifying clarity.The phone call.The drunken rambling.Alec.And then—Oh God.I shot upright in bed, only to regret it instantly as the world tilted and my head protested violently. I buried my face in my hands, trying to steady my breathing.I kissed Alec.The realization sent a fresh wave of panic through me. What the hell had I been thinking? Oh, right—I hadn’t been thinking. I had been drunk, careless, and apparently, far too impulsive for my own good.I groaned again, flopping back against the pillows, pressing my palms to my face."Kill me now," I muttered.The door creaked open."Well, well, well," came Natalie’s teasing voice, laced with amusement. "Someone looks like they had a very interesting nigh

Chapter 25

Alec’s POVShe leaned back with an air of confidence, her legs crossed, her arms draped over the armrests like she belonged there. She looked effortlessly stunning in a black mini dress that hugged her figure in all the right places. Alec’s eyes briefly roamed over her bare legs, the way the fabric rode up slightly as she shifted—He cut off that train of thought immediately, keeping his expression impassive.“You wanted something?” His voice was cool, professional.Kehlani stood, slowly, and walked toward him, her heels clicking softly against the floor. She moved with a deliberate grace, closing the space between them.Alec kept his posture relaxed, his hands in his pockets. If she thought she could get under his skin, she was mistaken.“I want to set up my business,” she said, tilting her head. “And since we have a deal, I need you to play your part.”Alec arched a brow. “Meaning?”“Meaning,” she said smoothly, “I need money. Investment, if you will.”His jaw tightened slightly. He

Chapter 26

Kehlani’s POVI gripped the steering wheel of Alec’s Mercedes-Benz jeep, my fingers drumming against the leather. The conversation with Alec replayed in my head, over and over, like an annoying song I couldn’t shake off.He wanted me. He had admitted it.A smirk tugged at my lips. Of course, he did.I exhaled and focused on the road, weaving through the traffic in Manhattan. The city was alive with its usual chaos—honking cars, impatient drivers, pedestrians jaywalking like they had nine lives. The streetlights reflected against the sleek hood of the car, and for a moment, I let myself enjoy the quiet.Away from Alec. Away from Cassandra’s glares. Away from the suffocating game of pretending.The traffic light ahead turned yellow, and I slowed down, easing the car to a smooth stop as it flicked to red.Then—A jolt. A sharp, sudden bump from behind.My whole body snapped forward against the seatbelt, and a string of curses slipped past my lips before I could stop myself.“What the hel

Chapter 27

Kehlani’s POVI pushed open the front door of the penthouse and stepped inside, letting out a long breath. The day had been a whirlwind—between Alec’s cryptic confessions and the absolute disaster of running into Finn and Natalie, my mind was a tangled mess.The soft sound of a television echoed from the living room. I slipped off my heels, flexing my toes in relief, and followed the sound.There she was.Natalie Silver.Not the Natalie who had ruined my life. No, this was Alec’s assistant, the one who—despite sharing a name with my personal nightmare—was surprisingly tolerable.She was sprawled on the couch, legs tucked beneath her, a blanket draped over her shoulders. A half-eaten bowl of popcorn sat on the coffee table. She looked far too comfortable for someone who was usually running around, handling Alec’s impossible demands.She glanced up as I entered.“Well, look who finally decided to come home,” she said, tossing a piece of popcorn into her mouth.I arched a brow. “You live

Chapter 28

Kehlani’s POVI lay in bed, my fingers tracing lazy patterns against the silk sheets as I listened to the quiet hum of the city outside. The penthouse was dark except for the faint glow of the bedside lamp, casting warm golden hues across the room. Alec was late. Again.Not that I was surprised. Work had a way of keeping him occupied, but tonight, I wanted him here. With me.I turned onto my side, eyeing the door like it would magically swing open any second. My patience was wearing thin. He’d promised he wouldn’t be long, and yet, the clock kept ticking.Just as I was about to give up and fall asleep, I heard it—the soft click of the front door opening, followed by the faint sound of his footsteps.Finally.The bedroom door creaked open, and there he was. Alec Castor. Tall, composed, but looking undeniably exhausted. His dark green eyes met mine, and for a moment, he simply stood there, taking me in.“You’re awake,” he murmured, shutting the door behind him.I propped myself up on my

Chapter 29

Alec’s POVI paced in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, my fingers gripping my phone so tightly I could hear the plastic casing creak. The city skyline stretched endlessly beyond the glass, but I wasn’t seeing any of it. My mind was fixated on one thing.Kehlani was missing.It had been hours since Natalie called, and every minute that passed without a lead felt like a slow knife twisting into my gut.Rowan stood by the entrance, arms crossed, his usual composed demeanor unwavering despite the tension crackling in the air. He was dressed in his signature black, his sharp gaze locked onto me, waiting for instructions."Tell me what you've got," I said, forcing my voice to remain level.Rowan exhaled through his nose. "Security footage from the building is wiped. No sign of forced entry. No unusual visitors before she disappeared. It’s clean, Alec. Too clean."I clenched my jaw. Of course, it was clean. Whoever took her wasn’t some amateur."And the guards downstair

Chapter 30

Alec’s POVI stood in front of the security room, staring at the screen displaying the paused CCTV footage from the night Kehlani went missing. My blood boiled. The footage should have shown something—anything—but instead, it was nothing but a blank gap. Someone had tampered with it.Rowan stood behind me, arms crossed, his face unreadable. “Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing,” he said.I exhaled sharply, shoving a hand through my hair. “Natalie.”She was already outside, waiting. I stormed out of the room, my patience hanging by a thread. Natalie barely had time to react before I barked, “Gather all the security guards. Now.”She blinked. “All of them?”“Did I stutter?”Her lips pressed into a thin line, but she didn’t argue. She pulled out her phone, calling the guards to meet us in the underground parking lot.Ten minutes later, I stood in front of them—six men lined up, looking uneasy. They should be.I pulled my gun from my holster, the cold metal familiar in my g
