CHAPTER 69

Kain POV

I had been in Damien's company for exactly eleven minutes and nothing about it made sense yet.

The operations room was serious in the way that only rooms containing real problems ever were. There were photographs pinned to boards with the particular organization of people who had been working without sleep. I had walked in half-expecting an explanation that would resolve itself quickly — some administrative confusion, a security breach in the building, something that would a

    Chapter 75Selina POV My heart pounded as the air ran through my face. So close! My chest burned and my muscles were beginning to ache but I ignored the pain as my breathing came in hard spurts. The exit was so close I could almost taste the alluring scent of freedom. I was going to make it. Come just a few more steps. You can do this! My body was protesting violently. The edge of my vision began to blur. Not now. I thought about my baby; the determination and adrenaline that surged through my body sharpen my vision. I pushed myself forward, this was my only chance.My balance was suddenly upended as a muscular hand with a vice-like grip grabbed my arm. No! I tried to pull my arm out of the grip but it was no use. I gathered all my strength and without thinking, slammed into him. He cursed under his breath as my unexpected move sent him crashing to the floor. I picked up myself, a line of pain shot through my arm and took a few steps. I stretched my hands to touch the gate when

    CHAPTER 74SELINA POV — The OpeningI had stopped counting the days and started to measure time by the change in the guards rotation and the time my food was brought to me.Routine kept the panic contained and I was able to able to function.As long as I'm alive, I told myself, there's still a chance.I had also been watching covertly. I'd learned early that obvious observation got me more scrutiny, placed the guards on alert which gave me with less room to work. So I watched in sideways and stolen glances rather than long stares or looks.I knew which guards were disciplined and which weren't. The younger one with the mohawk hair checked his phone every time he thought no one was looking. The muscular guard stepped out for cigarettes at the same interval like clockwork. One of them talked too much to the others, filling silence out of nervous habit, which meant his attention split constantly between conversation and duty.And then there was Sefu.He wouldn’t hold my gaze.

    CHAPTER 73DAMIEN POV I had spent the better part of a day suspecting the wrong man and it was almost impossible to say that out loud.The operations room had thinned out around us. I had the immigration records open on the screen beside me and a travel history that placed him on another continent for every single date that mattered.He hadn't done any of it. I closed the file and looked at him. "I was wrong about you."I didn't dress it up further than that. Cain didn't strike me as a man who needed cushioning. "The evidence pointed at you. I followed it. I was wrong, and I don't have time to be precious about admitting that."He held my gaze for a moment. "If our positions were reversed," he said, "I'd have done the same thing."Cain was a man who understood more than most, the cutthroat nature of our world. "I need your help," I said."You have investigators," he answered."Investigators are useful for tracing money and reading documents. They don’t understand or the world he ope

    CHAPTER 72DEREK POVMy office had stopped looking like an office somewhere around midnight. Now it looked where someone was having a breakdown. Documents covered every flat surface and three laptops open to different windows of the same investigation.Nobody had said much in the last hour. There wasn't energy left for conversation. We'd given up chasing symptoms my lawsuit, Caleb's fraud, the tabloid stories and started digging for whatever sat underneath all of it. So far, every thread circled back to one name. Wren Castillo. So we went began the hunt.Dean had dragged in a whiteboard from somewhere and was building a single timeline. I was halfway through a registry search when Caleb went quiet in a way that made me look up."I never signed this," he said.I crossed the room and read over his shoulder. His name was on a company document I'd never heard him mention. It got worse, he was also listed as director, not investor. He checked the incorporation date twice, like exhaustion

    CHAPTER 71KAYDEN POV I closed the door quietly behind me. There was a frown on my face. Why didn’t see the logic in what I was proposing? I thought she was smarter than this! I clenched my fist and slowly released them.I walked the corridor mulling why the planned failed. It wasn’t supposed to, after all, I had built the entire framework around her surveillance reports. How loyal she was, how lonely and sometimes unnecessarily kind she was to strangers. The strategy should have worked. It hadn't.Cain had no idea how stubborn she was or could be. I had never met her before the night my men brought her in. That was the truth nobody in this building understood, not even Wren.I didn't know Selina Whitmore, I only knew a file that contained photographs taken across eight months, several surveillance transcripts, financial records connecting her to the Foundation. A psychological profile assembled from pieces of conversations picked up during survelliance.She meant nothing to asides

    Chapter 70Selina POVI sat down on the bed, slowly rubbing my stomach as my attention was held by a gown laid out on the bed. I stared at it, it was a latest release from some designer line I couldn’t quite remember. There was also some vitamins on the table besides me with a bottle of water. I looked at my stomach, sighed and reluctantly took the medicine.I never felt so angry for doing what was right for myself. The door opened and a guard came into the room while his counterpart stood at the door. They were beginning to relax their vigilance. Before now, two of them entered to ensure I didn’t do anything unruly. They obviously concluded I wasn’t a threat and I wasn’t going to try anything. They were right…for now.He dropped the tray and as he was about to leave. I asked a question. “Where is Sefu? I haven’t seen him around.” He paused for a second too long before he glanced at the second guard. They exchanged a look too quickly for me to understand what was passed and he nodded
