Israel’s brow twitched ever so slightly—he really did think it was a good idea.
“I like this plan. Let’s do it. I’ll get in touch with Q right away.”
As Israel turned to leave, Leonard called after him, a note of warning in his voice.
“Don’t forget your promise, Israel. Once this is over, you’ll back Aurora.”
A small smile tugged at Israel’s lips. “Relax. Aurora’s my sister. If I don’t look out for her, who will?”

At the moment, Abby Murphy was away. To ensure Stella’s safety, Joshua had moved into the estate and stayed by her side.
The Williams family wasn’t large, and their estate was sprawling—so much space, so few people.
Each member had an entire floor to themselves, free to decorate however they liked, with their own study, gym, media lounge, solarium, kitchenette—whatever suited their tastes.
Skyler Williams had gifted Stella an entire level, hers to arrange as she pleased.
Though Stella and Joshua lived on the same floor, their rooms weren’t especially close. They were, after all, a man and a woman; a little distance was only proper.
After dinner, Stella worked for a while, then suddenly recalled she’d left a file with Joshua.
She walked over to his room and knocked on the door.
“Joshua, are you in?”
The door swung open almost immediately. Joshua, already changed into something comfortable, stepped aside to let her in without a word.
“Come in, let’s talk inside.”
