CHAPTER 10

A loud pounding on the front door jolts me awake. I scramble from the couch, heart hammering. Mia, Olivia, and Nova all snap to attention, equally startled. The early morning light through the windows suggests it’s not even seven yet. My stomach clenches.

I rush to the door, mind racing with possibilities. When I peer through the small side window, my blood runs cold. Jack stands on the porch, glaring, his suit slightly wrinkled as though he’s been up all night. Next to him, one of his lackeys or security guys—some broad-shouldered man I don’t recognize.

Mia and Nova appear at my side, each registering the situation with tense eyes. Olivia hangs back in the hallway, uncertain but ready to intervene if needed.

I open the door, stepping partially outside. “Jack,” I say tightly. “What are you doing here?”

He doesn’t wait for an invitation to speak. “You didn’t respond to my offer,” he snaps, voice dripping with condescension. “I thought I’d come see if you’d changed your mind.”

He tries to move forward, but I block the doorway, my heart pounding. “I told you—I’m not selling. And definitely not on your terms.”

His smirk sends a chill down my spine. “We’ll see about that. I know there’s something in this house, something that Chris left behind, that’s worth millions more than your property. Don’t think I won’t use every legal trick in the book to pry it away from you.”

From behind me, Mia speaks up, her tone braver than I expect. “You can’t come here and threaten us. This is private property.”

Jack’s lackey shifts ominously, but Nova steps forward, dark eyes flashing. She’s taller than him, exuding a quiet strength. “Leave,” Nova states in an even tone. “Or we will contact the authorities.”

Jack scoffs. “Oh, is that supposed to scare me? You think I haven’t prepared for a standoff? I’ll drag Eric through court, tie him up in litigation until he can’t afford the fees.”

My jaw tightens. I glance at Mia, who looks worried but resolute. Olivia creeps closer, arms crossed. I notice her phone in her hand, probably ready to call the police if needed.

I stand my ground, forcing an even voice. “Jack, I don’t respond well to threats. You can lawyer up all you want—I’m not handing this house over.”

His eyes flick to Mia, then Olivia, then Nova, as though sizing them up. “So this is your little harem,” he sneers. “Pathetic.”

Mia stiffens. Olivia bristles, face flushing with anger. Nova remains calm, though I see her fists clench at her sides. The tension crackles in the damp morning air.

“Jack,” I say, voice low, “get off my property.”

He laughs, a short bark. “We’ll see how long you last once my lawyers start picking you apart. And if that fails, maybe I’ll find another way. Don’t think I won’t exploit every weakness you have.”

Nova shifts, stepping so she’s practically in his face. “Eric’s finances are solid,” she says coldly. “He can afford legal counsel.”

Jack hesitates, uncertain how this tall, poised woman can be so sure.
