And don't ever question my orders again.""Yes, sir."I heard footsteps retreating.A door opened, then quietly shut.I forced my eyes open.My vision was still blurry.The first thing I saw once everything came into focus was Ian Bennett.He sat in a chair a few feet away, watching me in silence.My heart nearly stopped.I tried to move, but I couldn't.Panic slammed into me as I realized both my wrists and ankles were tied down."What did you do to me?"

  • The Broken Angel He Claimed   Exposed (Ian's POV)

    Ian's POVSeveral days passed.Every morning, headlines about Evelyn still dominated the front pages. The police issued statement after statement to the press, but no one had any real answers yet.I read every single article.They were all just guessing.Not one of them came close to the truth.For now, Evelyn's death was still being treated as a possible accident while the investigation remained ongoing.Good.I leaned back in my chair.As long as they kept looking in the wrong direction, I had nothing to worry about.I'd also instructed Ashton to erase every trace that could connect me to the case.Tonight, my grandfather would announce the new leader of the company.Once everything was finally in my hands, no one would be bold enough to stand in my way.Especially anyone still trying to dig into Evelyn's death.That evening, I arrived at the venue.The building's grand lobby had been transformed into an extravagant ballroom for Bennett Corporation's seventy-fifth anniversary celebr

    Ian's POV"Evelyn."I called her name again.Still nothing.A cold feeling settled in my gut. Something was wrong.I dropped to one knee beside her."Evelyn."I grabbed her shoulder and shook her hard."Wake up."Her body hung limp beneath my hand.No response.I pressed two fingers against the side of her neck.Nothing.I checked her wrist.Still no pulse.My eyes stayed fixed on her face.For a moment...My mind went completely blank.Then I pulled my phone from my pocket and hit the first number on my speed dial.The call connected on the second ring."Mr. Bennett?""Ashton."My voice came out low and steady."I need you at my apartment.""Now."***Less than twenty minutes later, the apartment door swung open, and Ashton hurried inside."Sir..."The word died in his throat the moment he
