Leo’s dark eyes shifted from his daughter’s pale, tear-streaked face to Beatrice. He saw the brutal gash on her cheek, the purple bruising already blooming across her knuckles, and the way her chest still heaved with adrenaline. He saw what everyone else in the mansion had overlooked: a warrior in a stained white apron. / Chapter 3 / 15

Chapter 3: The Interrogation

Chapter 3: The Interrogation

Down at the warehouse near the shipping docks, the air was thick with the scent of saltwater and rust. Mateo had Victoria strapped to a steel chair. Her ivory slacks were ruined, her polished veneer entirely shattered.

When Leo walked in, he didn't bring any weapons. He didn't need to. The sheer gravity of his presence made Victoria flinch.

"My father will destroy you," she wept, though her voice shook violently. The Kensington family ran the political machinery of the city, providing cover for Leo's illicit operations. It was a marriage of convenience in the making, now burned to the ground.

The heavy mahogany doors of the grand ballroom swung open with a slow, ominous creak, echoing through the cavernous space. Emily’s phone dropped smoothly into her clutch as two men in sharp charcoal suits marched in, their expressions carved from stone.

The moment my father pulled the blanket from my pregnant body, every lie my husband and mother-in-law had spent months hiding collapsed in seconds. They had convinced everyone I was just exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling with pregnancy. They never expected my father to uncover the bruises I had been forced to conceal—and they certainly forgot he wasn't only my father. He was a U.S. Army colonel. At seven months pregnant, I stopped leaving my bed. At first, my father, Colonel James Bennett, believed I simply needed rest. He knew pregnancy could be exhausting and trusted that my husband and his family were taking good care of me. I wasn't.

"Your father," Leo said quietly, leaning down so he was eye-level with her, "is going to receive pieces of you in the mail if you ever come within fifty miles of my daughter again. You didn't just lock a child in a room, Victoria. You tried to murder a Rossi."

He motioned to Mateo. "Get her on a private jet to London. Tell Arthur Kensington his daughter is banished. If she returns to American soil, the alliance is dead, and so is she."

Julian’s grip on Mara’s hand was an anchor in the spinning room. As she found her footing, the heavy wool of his overcoat settled around her shoulders, carrying the faint, crisp scent of winter air and cedar.

Chapter 1: The Containment The silence in the Hawthorne Museum was absolute. Every eye was locked on me. The shattered crystal on the marble floor lay between Grant Holloway and myself like a drawn line in the sand. He stared at the jagged shards, then slowly lifted his gaze to the men in tactical black uniforms who had just stepped from the hidden alcoves.
