Chapter 015: A Shattered Empire
In Vivian Group, the air was thick with fury and despair.Vivian stood behind her massive desk, chest heaving as she pointed a trembling finger at James."Get out!" she screamed, her voice cracking. "Leave me alone!"But James remained rooted near the door, his face etched with concern.Just as Kyle imagined, papers lay scattered across the office floor like fallen leaves after a storm.Vivian's desk now looked like a battlefield–files overturned, coffee spilled, and her phone tossed aside with its screen still blinking unanswered calls from her mother.She dug both her hands into her now disheveled hair, pulling at the strands as she paced around.Indeed, she looked nothing like the polished business lady who had walked into her office with iron confidence that morning. Her makeup was smudged, eyes red-rimmed, and her designer blouse now wrinkled and untucked.For the umpteenth time in the same hour, she collapsed back into her leather chair and stared at her glowing monitor.The scr
Chapter 014: Shadows of Doubt
Kyle followed Dora into the boardroom, the glass doors closing behind them with a soft click.Around the long polished table sat a dozen men and women dressed in tailored suits and elegant dresses that screamed old money. They looked every bit the rulers of Florida's corporate world–sharp eyes, expensive watches glinting under the chandelier lights, and tablets glowing in front of each of them.This was the very heart of Transcorp–a room that shaped most of Florida's wealth.Dora walked straight to the head of the table. As soon as she reached her chair, every board member rose in unison."Good morning," she said in a crisp tone.They all nodded before settling back down. Almost none of them even spared as much as a glance at Kyle standing quietly beside Dora.All except a woman–Olivia Hurst.She studied him openly, her sharp gaze traveling from his shoes to his face. A small, curious smile played on her lips as she turned to Dora. "And who do we have with you here?"The words pulled
Chapter 013: Threads of Power
"If you had asked before storming past my desk like you owned the place, maybe I could have helped you," the secretary replied in a clipped and irritated tone.Her lips pressed into a thin line of disapproval as she continued typing.Kyle was stunned. For a second, he resisted the urge to slam a fist on her desk and demand if she knew who he was.But that would be foolish, he reasoned. The workers in Transcop knew only Madame Eleanor and Dora.Besides, he had just finalized a divorce and had never appeared before them in the past.Biting his lower lip, he exhaled slowly through his nose."Let's just say I didn't hear that," he said in a low voice. "Now, where is Dora Sinclair?"The secretary let out an exaggerated sigh, finally lifting her gaze to him. Her eyes narrowed slightly–only to widen as footsteps approached from the hallway."Kyle Morgan," Dora called warmly, her heels clicking confidently against the floor. She reached him and gave his shoulder a light tap. "Good morning."
Chapter 012: A New Dawn
The night air was cool and fragrant with the scent of blooming jasmine from the estate gardens as Kyle walked Dora to her car.Dora maintained an elegant posture, though a hint of fatigue softened the usual sharpness of her eyes. She paused just beside the driver’s door, turning to face Kyle with a small smile."Quite a lot happened today," she said lightly, her voice carrying a trace of dry amusement.Kyle slipped his hands into his pockets and relaxed his shoulders as he let out a quiet chuckle."None of it would have been possible without your presence," he said. "I must thank you, Dora."He shrugged lightly. "I still can't imagine the manner of scent Vivian would have caused if she'd found someone else in the car with me."Dora chuckled lightly, tilting her head. "Oh, she wouldn't have done a single thing. She's all bark and no bite."They both laughed softly afterwards. Then a silence stretched between them for the next moment."Uhhm, I should get going," Dora finally said, glanc
Chapter 011: Dinner and Daggers
The dining hall of the Shaws shimmered under the soft light of an antique crystal chandelier.The heavy velvet drapes framed tall windows that overlooked the manicured gardens were now shrouded in the evening darkness.Vivian Shaw sat motionless in her chair, her fork idly pushing a piece of roasted salmon around her plate. She hadn't even taken a single bite from anything. Her gaze remained fixed on the food, but her eyes were distant and narrow as if the meal itself offended her.Margaret Shaw, seated at the head of the table, lowered her own fork with a quiet sigh.The elegant lines of her face tightened with concern as she studied her daughter."Vivian darling," she said gently, her voice carrying the practiced calm of someone used to managing crises. "Are you still thinking about the divorce?"Vivian looked up and met her mother's gaze. But before she could respond, a sharp laugh broke from across the table. Raymond Shaw leaned back in his chair, his handsome features twisted in
Chapter 010: Reunion and Boundaries
Eleanor rose slowly from the sofa, one hand smoothing the front of her tailored silk blouse.The weariness that had shadowed her features dissolved into quiet anticipation as she turned toward Doctor Irene with a small, luminous smile."My son is home," she muttered.The double doors to the sitting room swung open.Kyle stepped inside, Dora just half a step behind him. His gaze quickly found his mother.For a heartbeat, the world narrowed to just the two of them.Eleanor's lips parted slightly, her posture straightening as two years of carefully guarded longing surfaced in her expression."Mother," Kyle breathed, the word catching his throat."Son," Eleanor gasped just as the both of them simultaneously moved.They crossed the room with swift, urgent steps. Kyle's arms opened immediately and Eleanor stepped into them without hesitation.The embrace was fierce and tender at the same time–Kyle's tall frame folding slightly to hold his mother. She pressed close, hands gripping the back o
