My boots sank into the soft soil with every careful step, heart slamming against my ribs. I was already rethinking this. Fighting Bruce would’ve been easy compared to here. At least with him I knew what I was up against. This… this felt like suicide in slow motion.

Moonlight barely sliced through the thick canopy overhead, painting everything in washed-out grays and blacks. Nike moved like a shadow beside me while the rest of the team fanned out ahead, silent as death.

    Surprise and warmth bloomed in my chest, tangled with a sharp stab of guilt and the unwanted shadow of Ryder’s face. But Ryan was right here, trying so hard to make me happy.After a beat, I met his eyes. “Yes.”His grin spread wide and bright, lighting up his entire face. For a moment, everything felt light. He let out a relieved laugh and reached across the small table to take both my hands in his.“Really?” he asked, thumb stroking gently over my knuckles. “God, you just made my night.”He didn’t let go of my hands for a long moment, his eyes soft and happy in the glow of the string lights. We stayed like that, talking and laughing quietly as the music played on. He ordered us another round of drinks to celebrate, clinking his glass against mine with a playful “To new beginnings.”Later, when he dropped me home later, he walked me all the way to the door, cupped my face gently between his hands, and pressed a soft kiss to my cheek.“Text me when you’re inside,” he murmured, steppin

    Ryan stood by the corner of the living room, a bouquet of red roses mixed with white lilies gripped loosely in one hand. He wore plain dark brown trousers that hung straight on his lean hips and a sky blue button-down shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, showing off the corded muscle in his forearms.“Hey…” I mumbled, forcing a weak smile as I closed the door behind me. “Did you call?”I fumbled for my phone, quickly checking the screen. Hazel leaned against her bedroom doorway, watching quietly.“Yeah, but it’s fine.” He nodded, still smiling softly.He stepped closer and held out the bouquet of red roses mixed with white lilies. “I thought this could brighten your mood after yesterday.”“Aww,” I stretched up on my toes and breathed in their sweet scent. “That’s really thoughtful of you.”His eyes softened as he watched me. He rubbed the back of his neck, almost like he was a little embarrassed about the gesture. “Yesterday was rough on you.”I smiled, genuinely this time, but st

    DallasSadness crashed over me the moment Ryder walked out of the ceremony. A twisted, selfish spark inside me flickered with dark satisfaction that still cared enough for my actions to hit him so deeply. But that small victory did nothing to loosen the heavy, suffocating ache that had taken root in my chest. It only made everything hurt worse.I gently peeled Ryan’s hand from my waist, murmuring something about needing air. My shoulders slumped under an invisible weight. My hands clenched into tight fists at my sides as the memory of the pain flashing in Ryder’s eyes and the tight set of his jaw replayed relentlessly. I could not even tell anymore if the crushing sadness came from Allie’s smiling photos displayed in every corner of the house, or from the fact that I had forced myself to bury my grief for her just to provoke that reaction from him.I drifted toward the decorated table crowded with her frames. Her bright, familiar eyes stared back at me, full of the life I had stolen

    I jolted awake as ice-cold water slammed into me, gasping and choking while it soaked every inch of my bare skin. The sharp, tangy taste of blood flooded my mouth, and my head throbbed so violently the room spun.I shivered hard, trying to move, but thick cuffs bit deep into my wrists behind the back of a metal chair, locking me in place.Before I could catch my breath or even take in my surroundings, the blows started raining down.A heavy fist crashed into my jaw, snapping my head sharply to the side. I groaned deep in my throat as white-hot pain exploded across my face and stars burst behind my eyes. Almost instantly a boot drove viciously into my ribs, the sickening crunch of bone sending fresh fire lancing through my chest. I gasped sharply, the impact forcing a wet, choking cough from my lungs as blood sprayed across my lips.The pain blurred everything together. I curled inward on instinct, grunting and snarling with each new strike. Blood dripped into my eyes, blurring everyth

This… this felt like suicide in slow motion.Moonlight barely sliced through the thick canopy overhead, painting everything in washed-out grays and blacks. Nike moved like a shadow beside me while the rest of the team fanned out ahead, silent as death.“Shift change in thirty seconds,” Izzy’s voice crackled low in my earpiece. “CCTV loop is holding. Move, Now!.”I clicked my comms twice in acknowledgment. Up ahead, muffled pops cut through the night as suppressed shots dropped the outer patrols. One of our guys dragged a limp body into the underbrush, the wet gurgle fading fast. Another team member killed the lights on a section of the fence line, plunging that stretch of the perimeter into deeper dark.We slipped onto the premises, melting into position. Nike and I

    The rage boiling inside of me made me want to choke the life out of him right now. I wanted to wrap my hands around that arrogant throat and squeeze until his smug composure shattered into nothing. My fingers twitched with the urge, curling and uncurling at my sides as my nails bit deep into my palms, drawing sharp pinpricks of pain that barely cut through the fury. Jaw aching, I forced a breath through my nose.My mom’s pale face flashed in my head, the pain of still not having gotten her away from this man clawed at my ribs. Bile rose sharp in my throat, and my vision tunneled for a second.Bruce leaned back in his chair, face twisted in that infuriating mix of amusement and disdain, completely at ease. His hand reached casually for his phone on the desk, like I wasn’t standing there vibrating with the need to rip him apart.But I knew I couldn’t do anything. He had me on his chokehold. If I wanted to see my mom again-if I even wanted her alive-I would continue to dance to his beat.

I declined the call, shoved the phone deep into my pocket, and pushed through the heavy metal door.The bass slammed into me the second I stepped inside, thrummin

    The warehouse crouched under flickering lights like a beast waiting to strike. I parked across the street and sat in the dark, both hands wrapped around the steering wheel until my knuckles ached white. My heart hammered against my sternum like a war drum. This wasn’t the first time I’d gone on a

    DALLAS I woke up to sunlight spilling across Ryder’s bed, and his arm stretched toward my side. My heart skipped a beat because even in his sleep, he had searched for me. For a second, I just stared at him. There was nothing I could do but look at him. His tie was still hanging loose around his n
