CHAPTER 137 PART 1
Alice returned home later than she'd planned, the porch light casting long shadows across the driveway. Before she could even reach for her keys, the front door flew open, and her father stood in the doorway, his face twisted with rage."Where the hell have you been?" Richard Anderson's voice was a roar that echoed through the quiet neighborhood.Alice stepped back instinctively. "Dad, I—""Don't you dare lie to me!" Richard advanced onto the porch, forcing Alice to retreat down the steps. "You've been with him, haven't you? With that Solomon boy!""His name is Harry," Alice said, trying to keep her voice steady. "And yes, I went to check on him. He was in a car accident, Dad. I wanted to make sure he was okay.""A car accident?" Richard's laugh was bitter and harsh. "Is that the lie he told you? And you just believed him?""It's not a lie!" Alice protested. "I was there! I saw the whole thing!""Then why didn't you come home?" Richard demanded. "Why have you been sneaking around behi
CHAPTER 136 PART 2
Alice flinched as if she'd been slapped. "That's fair. I made a terrible mistake. But Harry, I've learned from that. I know better now. And I promise you—I swear on everything I care about—I will never betray your trust again.""Promises are easy to make," Harry said quietly."Then let me prove it through actions," Alice replied. "I'll keep your secret. I'll help protect you. Whatever you need, I'll do it."Harry wanted to believe her. Part of him desperately wanted to trust that she meant what she said. But trust was a luxury he couldn't afford—not when the consequences of being wrong could destroy his life."I don't have much choice but to trust you," Harry said finally. "You already know too much. If you wanted to expose me, you could do it right now.""But I won't," Alice insisted. "Because I care about you, Harry. More than you seem to realize."There was something in her tone that made Harry uncomfortable—an intensity that suggested feelings beyond simple friendship. But he chos

Harry sat down at the table, accepting the plate Alfred handed him with a quiet "thanks." He tried to appear unaffected by Alice's presence, but his mind kept circling back to the fact that she'd helped him. She could have told the doctors the truth, could have called the police when she saw him walk away from injuries that should have killed him. But she hadn't. She'd kept his secret.That counted for something.Alice watched him eat, her eyes studying every movement like she was trying to solve a puzzle. Harry could feel the weight of unasked questions hanging in the air between them."You have questions," Harry said finally, setting down his fork. "I can tell.""Is it that obvious?" Alice asked with a slight smile."Pretty obvious," Harry confirmed. "You've been staring at me like I'm some kind of science experiment."Alice flushed slightly. "I'm sorry. It's just... I have so many things I want to ask, but I don't know if you'd want to answer them. Or if I even have the right to as
CHAPTER 135 PART 2
Harry opened his mouth to say yes, then stopped himself. Did he want her to leave? Part of him—the part that was still angry at the Anderson family—absolutely did. But another part, the exhausted part that had spent all day dealing with dead-end investigations and disappointing news, found something oddly comforting about coming home to voices and laughter instead of an empty house."I didn't say that," Harry replied carefully."Then what are you saying?" Alice pressed.Harry moved into the room, setting his bag down on a chair. "I'm saying I don't understand what you're doing here. After everything with Mona, after your father, after I told you I wanted nothing to do with your family—why are you still here?"Alfred cleared his throat. "Harry, Alice has been helping us. She's been coordinating with the hospital to make sure your medical records reflect the story we agreed on. She's been deflecting questions from concerned coworkers who heard about the accident. She's been—""Useful,"
Chapter 135 PART 1
Samuel sat back in his chair, considering Frank's demands with a calculating expression. "Look, I'll help you. But let's be realistic about the timeline here.""What do you mean?" Frank asked."Gage Thornhill isn't some random nobody," Samuel explained. "He's a high-profile lawyer with connections, security, and from what you've told me, he's already paranoid after the last attack. Getting to him is going to take time—weeks, maybe months of surveillance to find the right opportunity."Frank's jaw tightened with impatience. "I don't have months—""But Harry?" Samuel interrupted, a glint appearing in his eye. "Harry is different. He's predictable. He goes to work, he goes home, he follows the same routine every day. No security detail, no bodyguards. Taking him would be easy."Frank leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Easy how?""He trusts people too much," Samuel said. "Especially if they claim to have information he wants. I could tell him I have evidence about who really burned dow

Frank leaned forward on Samuel's couch, his expression hardening from friendly collaboration to cold threat. "Let me make something very clear, Samuel. If you don't cooperate with me, I will personally make sure you regret ever touching that warehouse.""I already said I'd help you—" Samuel started."No, I don't think you understand," Frank interrupted. "Right now, I'm the only thing standing between you and a prison cell. I have evidence that will destroy you—photos, timestamps, witness accounts. If I decide to hand that over to the police, you're done. Five to ten years minimum. Maybe more if they decide to make an example of you."Samuel's face paled. "You said you'd make the evidence disappear.""I will," Frank confirmed. "As long as you're useful to me. But the moment you become a liability, the moment you hesitate or refuse what I ask? That evidence goes straight to Detective Reynolds at the police department. And trust me, she'll be very interested in what I have to show her."
