Chapter 015Maita POV The moment I stepped out of Colton's office, I regretted leaving.Not because I wanted to apologize. I had no intention of doing that. If anything, I was still angry. What irritated me most was that I could not explain why. Colton watching Lisa should not have mattered to me. Lisa was his ex-wife, the mother of his child, and someone he had every reason to keep an eye on.Still, the image of him sitting there with his phone in his hand would not leave my mind.I reached my office and pushed the door open.Janet looked up from the files on my desk. “That was quick.”“What was?”“You just left Mr. Colton's office.”“I know where I came from.”She studied my face. “You look angry.”“I am not angry.”“You slammed the door.”“I did not slam it.”Janet glanced toward the hallway. “The door almost shook the wall.”I ignored her and walked to my desk. “Do you have the financial reports from the Sterling Group?”“They are here.”“Good. Leave them.”She placed the files i

Chapter 016Zack's POV. George's message arrived just after breakfast.I was halfway through reviewing a company report when my phone vibrated against the desk. I glanced at the screen and saw several attachments waiting for me.Lisa's name sat at the top of the report, followed by everything George had managed to uncover about her movements over the past two weeks.I scrolled slowly.She had started applying for modeling opportunities.I almost laughed.Not because the idea was ridiculous. Lisa had always known how to use her appearance to get attention. She had the kind of face brands liked, and George's report showed that one small fashion company had already invited her for an audition.Then I saw the next page.She had been shortlisted.“So you actually got lucky,” I murmured.Another message arrived.George had attached photographs of Lisa leaving the company's office after her audition.She was smiling.I stared at the picture for several seconds.Lisa had always wanted a bette

Chapter 15Lisa's POV. Everything had changed after Maita removed Derek from his position. He kept telling me it was temporary, that he had connections and would recover soon, but I watched those connections disappear one after another. People who used to answer his calls suddenly became unavailable. The expensive dinners became less frequent. The gifts stopped arriving. Even the apartment that once made me feel like I had finally escaped poverty had started feeling strangely quiet.Derek came home late that evening, dropping his keys on the table before walking past me. “You're back,” I said. He barely looked at me. “I'm tired.” I waited for him to say more, but he simply headed toward the bedroom. “You didn't tell me you were coming home late.” He stopped and glanced over his shoulder. “Lisa, I said I'm tired.” Something about his tone made an old memory surface before I could stop it.Colton had come home tired too. There were nights when he returned from the farm with mud on h

Chapter 14Colton's POV The morning after Maita carried Felix out of the school, I watched them from the doorway of Felix’s room. Felix was asleep with one hand curled around the edge of Maita’s sleeve, as if even in sleep he needed to know she was still there. Maita sat beside him without moving, her expensive dress wrinkled from the hours she had spent on the chair. She had a board meeting that morning, yet she had chosen to stay beside a little boy who was not even her biological son.Something about that stayed with me.I had spent days telling myself that this marriage was a means to an end, but watching Maita brush Felix’s hair away from his forehead made that excuse harder to hold onto.Still, I had a promise to keep.Lisa had taken my money, my dignity, and years of my life. I wasn't ready to forgive her. I left Felix in Maita’s care.Somehow, she put my mind at rest.The room had become my second battlefield.Documents covered the desk. Company reports, payment records, supp

CHAPTER 13COLTON’S POV******Felix had never liked unfamiliar places, but I had hoped the school Maita chose would be different. The moment the car stopped in front of the enormous building, I knew I had been too hopeful. The school looked more like a private university than a place filled with children. Tall glass windows reflected the morning sun, neatly trimmed gardens surrounded the entrance, and students in expensive uniforms moved between the buildings with their parents and teachers. Felix stared at everything from the back seat without making a sound.When I opened the door, he did not move. His small hand stayed wrapped around mine, and when I tried to guide him out, he held on tighter. I looked at him through the open door and crouched beside the car. "You do not have to be afraid. I will stay with you until you are comfortable." Felix did not look at me. His attention remained fixed on the school entrance, as if he were trying to understand what waited beyond those door
Chapter 012
Maita's POV I had never liked people touching what was mine.That was one reason I hated crowded places. Too many hands. Too many people crossing boundaries as if they had the right.But what happened with Donald was different.The moment his fingers closed around Colton's shoulder, I had wanted to remove his hand myself.That thought followed me long after Donald left.I sat behind my desk, staring at the same document for several minutes without reading a single line.Colton had stood there quietly while Donald warned him.My husband.The words looked strange in my mind. "My husband."A man who had entered my life because we needed something from each other. That was supposed to be all.A contract for one year. Simple.So why had seeing Donald touch him annoyed me that much?I closed the file. "Ridiculous."My phone rang.I answered without checking the number. "Yes?""Maita."I leaned back; it's my Uncle. "Go on. Is there any problem?""Derek is asking for his position back, and I
