Dax or a clone?

Isaiah The morgue was cold. Nico met me at the entrance, shaking his head. “Remember when I said he was fish food?” “You were right?” I asked, and he nodded, making a disgusted face. "He's in the back. A little warning, the sight is not pretty." "It never is." I followed him through the corridors. "Where did they find him?" "Washed up on a beach about sixty miles north. Some kids found him early this morning. They called the police thinking it was a drowning victim." Nico pushed open a door to the examination room. "The local police ran his fingerprints through the system. It got a match with Dax Monroe." "Fingerprints can be faked." "Oh, relax. That's why I called you here,” The body was laid out on a metal table, covered with a white sheet.

Sophia Muller

Zella I woke to the smell of pancakes in our home. For a moment, I just lay there, stretching like a cat on the bed and feeling more relaxed than I had in months. Last night was perfect. I pulled on one of Isaiah's shirts and walked out of the room. The sight that greeted me in the kitchen made me stop dead in my tracks. Isaiah stood at the stove with his back to me, wearing nothing but very low hanging grey sweatpants and a small white apron tied around his waist. Just those two things and nothing else. His shoulders were impossibly broad, muscles shifting and flexing as he moved the pan. The apron strings were tied around his waist, and the dip just above where the sweatpants hung dangerously low on his hips was practically calling out to me. I could see the twin dimples on his lower back and the curve of his ass under the thin fab

A blast from his past

Isaiah Sophia Muller. What was she doing here? We hadn't spoken in a long while. I knew she was settled in Georgia and sometimes had my men check on her over the few years, but it had been a while since I saw her. "Sir?" The guard was waiting for instructions, still carefully not looking at either of us. How long had he been there? "Give me five minutes," I said. "Then show her to the visitor's living room.” He nodded and disappeared.I turned to find Zella watching me with curious eyes, her head tilted slightly. "Who's Sophia Muller?" "Someone from a long time ago." I started untying the apron, suddenly feeling ridiculous standing there in sweatpants and nothing else. "I need to get dressed." "Isaiah." She caught my arm as I moved to leave. "Who is she?" I paused. "She's s

His biggest weakness

Zella I'm not bothered, I'm not bothered at all. That's what I kept saying as I stood in the doorway of the guest room, watching Sophia Muller unpack her luggage. She was beautiful. All that bold, striking, powerful beauty radiating off her. I felt like a kid with his mouth stained with chocolate standing next to her. She looked like someone who had her shit together. Unlike me, who was standing here in my husband's oversized shirt, barefoot, with sex hair and probably still smelling like our kitchen counter encounter. God, I was a mess. "This is a beautiful room," Sophia said, turning to smile at me. "Thank you for letting me stay." "Of course." I stepped inside, trying to sound confident even though I felt like crap. "Isaiah said you're old friends." "Yeah," She h

Victor's plans

Third POV Victor Russo stood in his penthouse office, forty-three floors above the city, watching the sunset. He had built his company himself with a bit of inheritance from his mad father, relentless ambition, and the willingness to do whatever it took to win. And Victor Russo always won. Eventually. His phone buzzed with another update from his surveillance team. There was still nothing. Sophia Muller had vanished three days ago. She left her apartment, her office, her entire life, and disappeared without a trace. There were no credit card transactions, no calls on her phone, and no security footage showing her anywhere in the city. She wasn't in Georgia anymore, he could guess that. Someone was hiding her, and Victor had a very good idea who. "Isaiah fucking King," he

A very interesting offer

Isaiah The tech industry gala was the kind of event I normally avoided. Too many people, too much posturing, everyone trying to prove they were the smartest person in the room. I could be home, buried in the thighs of my wife right now, instead, I was in this mess. When Sophia mentioned she had been invited and was considering going despite the threat from Russo, I had insisted on accompanying her. It gave me a chance to see if Russo would be stupid enough to show his face. He was. I spotted him across the ballroom the moment we arrived, standing near the bar, surrounded by admirers and flatterers. Victor Russo, in person, was exactly what I had expected from the research I'd done. He was in his mid-thirties. tall and well-built. He was a poacher. He would buy huge companies, then turn all their assets into cash, making himself riche

A compromise

Zella I found them in Isaiah's study. The door was slightly ajar, and I had been walking past when I heard Sophia's laugh. I should have kept walking and given them privacy. Instead, I moved closer to the door to see Isaiah sat behind his desk with the papers spread before him. Sophia stood beside him, leaning over his shoulder, pointing at something on his laptop screen. I almost hissed. There was absolutely no reason for her to be standing that close to him. "If we route the acquisition through the Hamburg holding company," Sophia was saying, "Russo won't see it coming until it's too late." "That's brilliant," Isaiah said. "See? This is why Russo is after you,” She laughed again. “He is revolting,” Something hot and ugly twisted in my chest. I get that Isaiah said he

Crisis mode

Isaiah The call came at 3 AM.I was awake going through some papers in bed while Zella clung to me tightly, snoring softly. When my phone vibrated with the call, I removed myself carefully from her arms and stepped into the hallway before answering. "This better be good,” "It's not." My attorney's voice came through, and he sounded rather tense. "Russo just made his move. He's going after NorthPoint." I went completely still. "Say that again." "NorthPoint Technologies. Someone started buying up shares the moment the Hong Kong market opened. By the time our people noticed the pattern, they had already acquired eighteen percent." NorthPoint was one of King Industries' most valuable subsidiaries in Asia. It was a tech manufacturing company I had acquired five years ago. Losing it would cost my company billions. "Ei

A trap?

Zella I woke to the bed dipping beside me. I knew it was Isaiah finally returning after what must have been another endless night. It was maybe five-thirty or six at most. He had been in his office for nearly twenty-four hours straight. "Isaiah?" I murmured, still half-asleep. "Go back to sleep." His voice was rough with exhaustion. I rolled over to face him instead. Even in the dim light, he looked perfect. The only sign that he was stressed was his dishevelled hair. He must have run his hands through them several times. "How bad?" I asked softly. "Bad." He stripped off his shirt with jerky movements. "Russo acquired another four per cent overnight. Two more employees resigned this morning." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault,” He grunted.

Worth fighting for

Isaiah I found Zella in the library, curled up in one of the oversized chairs with a book she wasn't actually reading. I could tell by the way she was staring blankly above the book, her mind clearly somewhere else. "A dollar for whatever it is you're thinking?” She looked up, and I frowned. “What happened?” "We need to talk," she said, setting the book aside. I crossed the room and sat on the ottoman in front of her chair. "What's wrong?" "I got a call today from Rita Lancaster." Every muscle in my body went tight. "What did she want?" "She wants us to meet. She says she has information about Russo that could help us." Zella's hands twisted in her lap. "She claims she wants out, that Russo is becoming a liability for her business." "And you believe her?
