I run my fingers through my hair and let the thick curls fall around my eyes. I then rest my elbows on the smooth, dark wooden surface of my desk and drop my face into my hands. It’s been a long day, and I’m ready to call it a day, despite it only being two in the afternoon. I just want to go home and see my beautiful fiancée, but things between us have been … different. She barely lets me touch her, and when I do, she stiffens or jumps suddenly. Her nightmares seem to be getting worse, and she won’t talk to me.

Every time I ask her what’s wrong, she says she’s just stressed from work and planning the wedding, but there is a huge part of me that is screaming it’s more than that—that she’s hiding something from me. That there is something big she’s keeping from me. But I don’t want to push her so far that things become too much for her. So, I am just going to give her the space she needs… for now.

Just then, my office door is thrown open. Remy strides inside, without knocking, of course, and crosses the room toward my desk.

“By all means, come in,” I say sarcastically.

“I talked to the delivery guy,” he says.

That piqued my interest.

“Go on.”

“He said the woman had long, dark hair, brown eyes, semi-full lips with a small tattoo of some kind of bird on her left back shoulder,” he says.

I sit back in my chair, trying to think of anyone I may know or have seen that matches that description, but no one comes to mind. No one.

“So far, I’ve come up empty with that description. The only woman I know with dark hair, brown eyes, and that hot is your girl Jessica,” he says with a smile.

I roll my eyes. Remy’s had a thing for her—a sex thing—since I introduced them a few years back.

“I agree, but Jessica isn’t… She’d never do anything that would hurt me.” I run my fingers through my hair again. “Tell me, where are we with everything?”

He’s serious again. “Danny is off with the kid now, trying to get a better sketch of what that bitch looks like.”

“Who’s watching my kids and Tabitha?”

“Sammy’s with Melissa and Jake, and Brody is guarding Tabitha. He knows to go unnoticed by her.”

“Yeah. She’d kill me if she knew I had someone following her.” I take a big breath. “Even if it is just to keep her safe.”

“How’s she holding up?” he questions.

“I think it’s all finally getting to her. She’s having nightmares, she’s barely eating, and whenever I touch her, she seems afraid sometimes.”

“Just give her some time. She needs time to let it all really sink in.”

I nod in agreement.

Not long after Remy leaves, there’s another knock at my office door.

“Come in.”

My assistant, Kelly, walks in with a manila envelope in her hand.

“Mr. Keegan, this was left for you.” She crosses the room and hands me the envelope.

“Who left it?”

“Ms.
