As evening settled over the island, the atmosphere became much calmer as most guests returned to the resort after spending the afternoon attending business meetings and sightseeing. Lights flickered on along the winding pathways, and the sound of distant laughter drifted from the restaurants and lounges scattered across the property. At that moment, a luxury SUV slowly pulled into the resort's private entrance, its headlights cutting through the growing dusk.

"Finally," Peter said, stretching a

    "Natalie," her father said quietly, studying her carefully, "is this really about closing the matter? Or is some part of you hoping finalizing this brings him back into your life?"Natalie opened her mouth to answer immediately, the denial already forming, but the words caught somewhere in her throat, her certainty faltering under the question."That's ridiculous," she said finally, though her voice lacked its usual conviction.Her father said nothing further, simply exchanging a knowing glance with her mother before leaving the office.At the same time, Joshua received a visit from his legal team at the villa."Mr. Hart," his lead attorney said, settling into the study with a thin folder, "we've received formal notice. Natalie's side is moving forward with the divorce finalization."His lawyer informed him that Natalie had finally instructed her side to move forward with the divorce."Took her long enough," Joshua said, unbothered, setting aside the report he'd been reviewing.Joshua

    Natalie sat in her office late in the evening, staring at the divorce documents that had been left untouched for months. The papers sat exactly where she'd abandoned them weeks ago, buried beneath other files, mostly forgotten in the chaos of the island trip and everything after.After remembering that she and Joshua were still legally married, she finally made a decision.I never signed the final paperwork, she thought, tracing her finger along the edge of the folder. We're still married, technically. After everything.She would no longer leave the divorce hanging.Enough, she thought, pulling the file toward her. This ends now, one way or another.If Joshua had truly moved on and become as powerful as everyone claimed, then she wanted to see how he would react when she finally pushed the matter forward.If he's really as untouched by all of this as everyone seems to think, she thought, staring at the blank signature line, let's see exactly how he reacts when I finally force the matt

    After Mark stormed out, Natalie's parents entered her office and immediately demanded to know what she planned to do about the company's worsening situation."Natalie," her father said, striding in without knocking, her mother close behind him, "we need to talk. Now.""Not now, Dad," Natalie said wearily, still standing behind her desk, her nerves frayed from the confrontation with Mark."It has to be now," her mother said sharply. "The Whitfield deal just collapsed."They told her that the executives were already putting pressure on them and that they needed a solution before Harrison Group lost the client's business and their position in the company became unstable."The board's been calling us all afternoon," her father continued. "They want answers, Natalie. If we lose Whitfield's business entirely, our own position at this company becomes unstable."Natalie insisted that she had already done everything she could, but her parents refused to accept that."I've already done everythi

    Annoyed, Mark mentioned Joshua and the divorce."Maybe you should ask Joshua for help then," Mark snapped, his frustration boiling over. "Since apparently he's suddenly capable of fixing anything. Or is he too busy enjoying the divorce he probably wanted all along?"Natalie's expression changed.Her face went rigid, the earlier fury sharpening into something colder and far more dangerous.She stepped forward and slapped him across the face.The sound cracked sharply through the office, Mark's head snapping sideways from the force of it.Mark froze, unable to believe she had actually hit him.He stood there, stunned, one hand rising slowly to touch his reddened cheek, staring at her in genuine disbelief.Natalie angrily told him that he had no right to use her divorce against her after everything that had happened."You do not," Natalie said, her voice shaking with rage, "get to use my divorce against me. Not after everything that's happened. Not after everything I've already been thro

    After leaving the restaurant, Mark received an urgent call from Natalie ordering him to return to Harrison Group immediately."Get to my office. Now," Natalie's voice snapped through the phone, sharp with fury.He rushed back without realizing how serious the situation had become.Mark hurried through the front doors, still wearing his wine-stained jacket, his mind racing through possible excuses.The moment he entered her office, he noticed the anger on her face.Natalie stood behind her desk, arms crossed, her expression colder than he'd seen in weeks."Natalie, what's—"Natalie told him that the executives were already discussing whether she should be removed from her position because the client she had promised to secure had withdrawn from the deal."The board is already discussing whether to remove me from my position," Natalie said, her voice tight. "Do you understand that? Whitfield withdrew from the deal, Mark. The exact client I sent you to secure."She had sent Mark to obtai

    "Are you kidding me?" Mark shouted, shoving his chair back and rising sharply, staring down at the dark stain spreading across his jacket.He shouted at the waiter and demanded that the restaurant manager come immediately."Do you have any idea how much this suit cost?" Mark snapped, his face reddening. "Get your manager. Now."When the waiter apologized repeatedly, Mark threatened to have him fired and started bragging about who he was and the kind of people he could call."I'm so sorry, sir," the waiter stammered, grabbing a napkin, his hands trembling. "It was an accident, I'll clean it immediately—""You'll be cleaning out your locker by tonight," Mark snapped, cutting him off. "Do you have any idea who I am? I could have this entire restaurant blacklisted with one phone call. I know people who could shut this place down."Kate's expression slowly changed.Her earlier polite indifference hardened into visible discomfort, her gaze flicking between Mark's furious outburst and the te
