The cabin felt like it had shrunk. Diane Doyle didn’t back down; she stepped forward, shielding Sienna with her body as if the teenager were a weapon I might try to reclaim. / Chapter 4 / 10

Chapter 4 - THE MEDICAL CONSPIRACYMy medical-supply empire had been built on the patents of research that Juliette had conducted years before we met. As I pulled up the encrypted files from my company’s servers, the truth revealed itself.

02 Chapter 2 - THE MOTHER’S VEILED THREATMy mother stayed on the line. I put her on speaker. "Everett, listen to me," she commanded, her voice frantic.
