Fear gripped me as I hesitated to open the last drawers of my vanity, unsure of what I might find. I remained oblivious to Jake's subtle expressions over the past few days, and though he observed, he remained silent.The inauguration event would start soon, and here I am seated in front of my mirror.

Jake’s POVI hoped I wasn't making a huge mistake by asking Selena to keep me updated with people's names—it was a big risk. But it would be odd to have Jeff with me throughout the whole night, considering I was happily married.The only person I could ask to do this was Selena. I hoped she wouldn't ask too many questions and would do as she was told. I had a lot to hide tonight, and I prayed she would make it easy for me, since her face would be the only one I could recognize fast enough."Okay," she agreed with no further questions. We were already there, and my fingers drummed on the wheel. "I am ready," she said after she had put her phone back in her purse, returning the file to the back seat.She looked at me, and any traces of what she might have been feeling were gone from her face.

Selena's POVI sneaked my way to the cookie rank; there was a lot of display to choose from. I took a plastic plate and chose some. Tasting it, I nodded in approval; it was delicious. Well, I finally found something that got my full attention at the whole event, and it's worth my time.I was onto my fifth cookie when I saw Jake. How on earth did he see me? I thought I was perfectly hidden out of view. He walked towards me, and my hand with the cookie was suspended in midair. When he got closer to me, he looked from my cookie to my face and back at the rank of cookies behind me.“I see, you’ve found something that interests you,” he said.“Well…” I trailed off but finished my cookie. I took an apple drink off the same table and chased down my cookie. I was completely full. My gown protested; I won’t be taking in anything again tonight. “I was hungry,” I told him, which was not a lie.“And how do you feel now?” he asked.“Good, filled with more energy,” I said, looking around. Why was h

Jake's POVWhen I was finally free from the people trying to involve me in conversations or other things, I made my way to the table where my mother and Selena were seated. It was time to call it a day. I had missed some calls from the police station; they must have some information for me. As for the case of the wedding day, there were no traces as to how I was drugged.I only found myself at the scene; I don’t remember driving there since Jeff confirmed that I came back to him for some task after I dropped Selena off. He also informed me that he found nothing odd that day. There was no footage to follow up the investigation. As much as I would like to pursue the case, there was no leading evidence.I wonder what this one would also be like. I will have to go back to the police station and confirm. When I got closer to the table, I heard my mom and Selena talking and the mention of the word ‘pregnant’. What were they actually talking about?“What is going on here?” I asked as I took

I placed the phone on the table and reached for my zipper.The struggle to bring the zipper down required acrobatics, jumping and twisting, but finally, it relented. I stepped out of the gown, tossed it on my bed, and approached the test. Carrying it to the bathroom, I closed the door firmly and did what needed to be done, sitting on the toilet lid as I awaited the result.In less than five minutes, my heart pounded as I

When it was time, I picked her up from her workplace before heading to the hospital.After my name was called, I went in for the test.

"Sel, can you afford this place?""I can," I assured her. Jake had credited me; he was also keeping his end of our bargain.

This mysterious figure wanted to remain anonymous.As much as I despise answering to anyone, I had to humble myself to extract the vital information he possessed. I often wondered about his identity and the source of his knowledge.All my efforts to track him down were in vain, and the private investigator I hired for Selena's case had yet to report to me. Now, I had to rely on this enigmatic informant. The weight of the case in my hands felt particularly burdensome, considering what I would be staking on it. I sighed and proceeded to take my seat."You are late, Mr. Marino," the cold, young voice emanated from behind the curtain.
