Blake's POV

I closed the laptop and rubbed my eyes. Fawn Jones's face was burned into my retinas now, soft features, genuine smile, eyes that looked like they'd seen too much pain but chose kindness anyway.

Nothing like Cassie.

And yet... the kindness and care for others were a match for the woman Cassie was now.

I checked my watch. Seven forty-five. I had a meeting at eight thirty that I couldn't miss, and I still needed to get moving if I was going to make it on time.

Standing, I grabbed my b

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 95

    Richard's POVI ended the call with Melissa and set my phone down on the desk, staring at it with growing irritation.The stupid fucking bitch was panicking. I could hear it in her voice, in the way she'd demanded reassurance, in how quickly she'd called me the moment Blake did anything even remotely suspicious.Panicked people were dangerous. Panicked people made mistakes, and mistakes left trails.I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming against the armrest as I thought through the situation. Melissa had been useful, extremely useful. She'd given me access to Blake's business dealings, his vulnerabilities. She'd made it possible to set up the Nakamura situation in the first place.But useful didn't mean irreplaceable.And it certainly didn't mean trustworthy.She actually believed I was going to give her some cushy executive position when this was all over. That I'd honor whatever vague promises I'd made to keep her motivated.Delusional. She had betrayed her boss as if I would h

    Melissa's POVI stared at my computer screen as Blake left the office. 'Security matter.'Blake's words echoed in my head. They had seemed casual and light, like it was nothing. Just routine. Blake often met with Nathan over different things from time to time, so why did this meeting feel like more?Blake hadn't acted in a way that should worry me. Or was he hiding something?My stomach twisted with acid burn. Should I be worried? Could he possibly know?No. No, I'd been careful. So careful.I'd arrived at the office well before the meeting on Saturday, early enough that the overnight security guard had barely glanced at me, too interested in his portable TV. Just another dedicated executive assistant catching up on weekend tasks. Nothing unusual.And I'd stayed late after, long after Blake and his Japanese guests had left, making sure there was distance between the meeting and my departure. Making sure no one would connect the dots.I'd even been smart about entering my office. The c

Fawn Jones's face was burned into my retinas now, soft features, genuine smile, eyes that looked like they'd seen too much pain but chose kindness anyway.Nothing like Cassie.And yet... the kindness and care for others were a match for the woman Cassie was now.I checked my watch. Seven forty-five. I had a meeting at eight thirty that I couldn't miss, and I still needed to get moving if I was going to make it on time.Standing, I grabbed my briefcase and headed toward the kitchen, where Ana was already setting out coffee and what looked like a fresh fruit platter."You off to work then, Mr. Huntington?" she asked with her warm smile.I set my briefcase on the benchtop. "Just about to leave, Ana." I looked toward the stairs. "Mrs. Huntington still isn't down?""No, sir. I still haven't seen her."I nodded. She was either still sleeping or avoiding me. I was going to guess avoiding me."When she comes down, let her know I'll be home b

    Blake's POV"I need you to dig deeper," I said. "Into Cassie's past. Education, everything you can find. I want to know if she ever studied languages, Japanese and German or if anyone knew she spoke other languages. And cross-reference it with what you can find on Fawn Jones. I want to know if there's any connection between them before their deaths. Did they cross paths… Same University?""Deaths?" Nathan's voice sharpened. "Cassie didn't die.""No. But she was supposed to. She was brain dead. The hospital said there was no hope. But then she woke up." I rubbed my face, exhaustion and confusion. I needed answers. "Just... look into it and Nathan? I need this kept quiet. No one else knows about this. I just need to understand what's going on because there has to be an explanation.""Got it, Boss. I'll have an update at least by tomorrow. But it could take longer.""I need you to check into the background of..." I leaned back in my chair. "Fawn Jones not just her connection to Cassie. D

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 91

    Blake's POVThe silence in the car was starting to get to me. Cassie wasn't saying anything; she just sat beside me, her hands folded in her lap, staring out the window at the city sliding past. She looked calm, composed, like she hadn't just spoken fluent Japanese like it was a second language. She was acting like she hadn't just saved my business from ruin. I could have been okay without Takeshi's backing, but I would need nothing to go wrong. In my line of work things go wrong and projects get delayed. No one could control the weather.If Richard Jones was behind it, and I was one hundred percent sure that was the case, then he would have found a way to hurt production of the projects in some way. Maybe the supply chain. I could think of hundreds of ways to affect any given project. I think it was time I started looking into Richard Jones's businesses. I'd heard things in the past, but I hadn't involved myself. That was about to change. I had my own contacts there."What other lang

    Fawn's POV"Your wife is already sick," I continued, switching to English so Blake could follow. "She's already suffering. But if these photographs come out, and they will come out, Mr. Nakamura, because men like this don't stop, she won't just be dealing with the betrayal. She'll be dealing with the public humiliation of finding out the same time the rest of the world does."Ren looked at me like I'd just said something unforgivable. "You want him to confess? To hurt her deliberately?""I want him to give her the truth before someone else takes that choice away from both of them." I met Takeshi's eyes, holding his gaze. "Tell her yourself. First. On your terms. Tell her you were lonely, that you made a mistake, that you're sorry. Tell her before the blackmailer can.""And if she leaves him?" Ren demanded. "If it destroys his marriage anyway? My aunt has been sick for a very long time. I worry as well...""Then at least she'll have been able to make that decision with all the informat

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 3

    Fawn’s POVI watched three pairs of eyes turn on Blake. What they didn’t think—“Mrs. Huntington,” the older doctor said carefully, drawing my attention back to him. “You were in a car accident six months ago. You’ve been in a coma. Do you… remember anything? Anything at all?”Everything inside me w

    Fawn’s POVAir ripped into my lungs like I’d swallowed knives.I jerked upright, hands flying to my chest, half-expecting water to gush out of my mouth as I gulped in air. For one panicked, blinding second, I was back in the bath, drowning. No, not drowning… being murdered as I fought to stay alive.

    Blake’s POVTuesday 9:24 AMThe machine near the bed beeped too loudly for a room that was supposed to be quiet. Mainly because she was so still and silent.I sat in the hard plastic chair by the bed, elbows on my knees, my suit jacket off and folded over the back of the chair. I had only planned to

  • Awakened For Sin   Prologue

    Monday 5pmI should have known the quiet was just too quiet. That stillness before something bad always carries its own stench, one your body can’t help but recognize even if your brain refuses to admit it. You know the feeling… the one like how animals go quiet just before they scurry away as a dis
