Chapter 2: What the Camera Couldn't See

Part 2 ⬇️

It was a small glass vial.

No label.

The liquid inside was almost clear.

Owen's hand tightened around my wrist so hard I nearly dropped it.

"Put it in your pocket," he whispered.

"Don't let the camera see it."

I did exactly what he said.

My fingers were shaking.

He told me the vial wasn't the only one.

That for two years, someone had been introducing a compound into his IV line — just enough to keep him under, not enough to show on a standard tox screen.

Whoever was doing it knew the hospital schedule.

Knew the staff rotation.

Knew exactly when to come and go without being seen.

"Who?" I asked.

Owen's jaw tightened.

He looked toward the door.

"Someone who needs me to stay in this bed," he said.

"Someone who's been signing documents in my name while I couldn't stop them."

Before I could respond, we both heard it.

A keycard swiping the lock.

Owen closed his eyes instantly and went completely still.

I grabbed my mop and turned away from the bed just as the door opened behind me.

I didn't look up.

But I heard the footsteps stop.

And then a voice I recognized said quietly, "You're here late."

It was the bodyguard who was supposed to be protecting Owen.

He was staring directly at me.

What does that bodyguard know — and how much danger is she in right now?

The full story reveals a secret that goes all the way to Owen's own family.
