“Are you going to call the police?” I ask tentatively. As much as the thought pains me, I have to know what he’s thinking. Somehow, I’ll have to make preparations for Eve. The only thing coming to me is that I’ll have to track down my brother to have him take care of her. I can hardly bear the thought of that happening. “I should, shouldn’t I?” he says grimly. “You have to do what you have to.” I lift my chin and meet his stare. I’ll accept whatever hand fate deals me. “When did you first meet Dean?” “About three and a half months ago. He was waiting for me at my office one morning.” Kyle cocks his head to the side as if studying me. I try to will into him that I’m being truthful. “You never knew him before that?” he asks. “No.” “I’m not going to call the police,” he finally says. I hold my breath because while that declaration should be a relief, I can feel there’s more to it. “Why?” Everything I know about Kyle up until this point led me to believe that he’d swiftly take revenge once he found out the truth. “Because there are other ways to make someone pay.” Panic seizes my insides, and my heart rate kicks up. Dean’s declarations about the Townsends having abandoned houses where they conduct some very ugly business come back to mind. “What are you talking about?” Kyle approaches me, slowly, his hard glare never wavering from mine. “I’m not going to send you to jail, Riley,” he answers. “Because you’re going to marry me instead.” My eyes bulge so wide it’s possible they may pop out of my head. “Wh-What?” “Did you not hear me the first time? I’m not going to send my wife to prison. Not yet, anyway. Not before I get what I need from you.” “Th-That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not marrying you.” He snort laughs. The sound is ugly as I suspect it’s intended to be. “You will as you have no choice. I’m not giving you one. If Dean wants you to put on a show, we’ll give him one.” I shake my head in confusion. “How does marriage accomplish any of that?” “Come on, Riley,” he mocks. “You’re a con artist. You know how important it is to make a story believable. Dean wants you close to me, right? There’s nothing closer than marriage.” “Kyle, I’m not marrying you.” That’s absolutely absurd. He chuckles. “It’s so cute you believe you have a choice in the matter.” Continue reading free on Kindle Unlimited...

Scene

0:00static night cityscape with text

The scene displays a wide-angle, static shot of a bustling city waterfront at dusk or night. The foreground features a dark metal railing and dense, rounded green shrubbery. Beyond the railing, a lower-level walkway runs alongside a canal or river, where numerous people are casually strolling. Bare tree branches frame the top left of the shot, silhouetted against the dark, overcast sky. In the mid-ground, a street runs parallel to the waterway, with cars and a distinctive red double-decker bus moving through light traffic. The background is dominated by a panorama of illuminated multi-story buildings, showcasing intricate architectural details and glowing with warm yellow and orange lights from windows and facades. A prominent building with a greenish dome stands out on the right. The overall lighting is dim due to the night sky, but the city lights create a vibrant, cozy atmosphere. White text boxes with black font dynamically appear and change in the upper half of the screen, overlaying the cityscape, presenting a narrative. The camera remains completely still throughout the entire duration.
