Chapter Eighteen
To Pervis, Anna looked like a performer in some tragic comedy, completely oblivious to how foolish she appeared to everyone watching.He shook his head slowly, his expression a mixture of disappointment and pity."You've always assumed the worst of me, haven't you, Anna?" he said quietly. "Before Noah appeared in our lives, we were actually in love. We had something real.""Don't try to rewrite history," Anna snapped defensively."I'm not rewriting anything," Pervis continued calmly. "But after Noah showed up, you consistently painted me as the villain in every situation. You made me the jealous husband, the unreasonable man, the petty fool who couldn't understand your 'kindness' to a friend."Anna's face flushed with anger. "Because that's exactly what you were!""Was I?" Pervis asked with genuine curiosity. "Or were you simply blinded by Noah's manipulation, unable to see the truth that was right in front of you?""Noah would never deceive me!" Anna declared arrogantly, her voice ri

Noah's face darkened like a storm cloud as he realized his usual tactics had not only failed but had actually made his situation significantly worse. The humiliation burned through him like acid, but he wasn't ready to give up entirely.Anna stepped forward quickly, her voice taking on the authoritative tone she used in business negotiations. "Miss Coleman, I believe there's been a misunderstanding. Noah is my personal assistant, which qualifies him to be present at this shareholders' meeting.""Your personal assistant?" Aria repeated, her eyebrows rising in apparent amusement."Yes," Anna confirmed firmly. "He handles many of my business affairs and has every right to attend meetings that concern my investments."Aria's expression didn't change in the slightest. Her voice remained as cold and cutting as winter wind. "I believe I've made myself clear twice already. Allow me to repeat myself one final time."The room fell into absolute silence as Aria's gaze fixed on Noah with predator
Chapter Sixteen
The conference room fell into stunned silence as Anna stared at the impossible scene before her.Her business idol, the woman she had admired from afar for years, was the same person she had insulted and dismissed in the parking lot just minutes earlier.Before Anna could fully process this devastating revelation, Noah's shrill voice cut through the quiet atmosphere like fingernails on a chalkboard."How dare you two barge into this meeting room?" he shouted, pointing accusingly at Aria and Pervis. "Don't you know they're here to welcome the major shareholder?"Anna closed her eyes and sighed deeply, embarrassment washing over her in waves. "Noah, please...""These people have no business being here!" Noah continued, his voice growing more indignant. "Security should escort them out immediately before the real Aria Coleman arrives!""Noah, stop," Anna whispered urgently, but her voice was lost in his continued tirade."This is supposed to be a prestigious meeting with one of the most
Chapter Fifteen
Anna's frown deepened as she processed Pervis's cold dismissal, her mind struggling to reconcile this new version of her husband with the man she thought she controlled."You're still blaming me for taking care of Noah," she said accusingly, her voice rising with frustration. "This is exactly what I mean, Pervis. You're being incredibly petty about an innocent friendship.""Innocent?" Pervis repeated, raising an eyebrow."Yes, innocent!" Anna snapped. "Noah is like a brother to me. He's my best friend's younger brother, and he's been through so much trauma. All I've done is show him basic human kindness.""Basic human kindness," Pervis mused, as if tasting the words. "Is that what we're calling it now?"Before Anna could respond, Aria stepped forward, her elegant presence commanding immediate attention."Excuse me," Aria interjected smoothly, her voice carrying a subtle edge of steel. "But I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.""This doesn't concern you," Anna said sharply, t
Chapter Fourteen
Anna adjusted her designer blazer as she walked toward her car, Noah trailing behind her with his arm still in its dramatic sling. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the hospital parking garage as they made their way to the shareholders' meeting that would change everything."Are you sure you're feeling up to this?" Anna asked Noah, though her mind was clearly elsewhere."I'm fine," Noah assured her, secretly thrilled that his plan was progressing so perfectly. "Besides, I wouldn't miss this opportunity for anything."As they settled into Anna's luxury sedan, she found herself lost in thought. "Noah, before we go to the meeting, I want to stop by and see Mrs. Tyler.""Pervis's grandmother?" Noah asked, trying to keep the concern out of his voice."Yes," Anna replied, starting the engine. "I need to understand what's been happening with Pervis lately. Maybe she can shed some light on why he's changed so dramatically."Noah shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The last thing he n
Chapter Thirteen
Anna's voice cut through the phone like a blade of ice, each word carefully chosen to inflict maximum damage. "Pervis Tyler, you have exactly one minute to explain yourself before I call the police.""What exactly am I supposed to explain?" Pervis replied, his voice remarkably calm despite the accusations being hurled at him."Don't play innocent with me," Anna snarled. "You broke into my home, assaulted my mother, stole my jewelry, and God knows what else. And that's not even mentioning your sordid affairs with multiple women."There was a long pause on the other end of the line. When Pervis finally spoke, his voice carried a weight that Anna had never heard before."Anna, the days when you could accuse me of anything you wanted are over.""Excuse me?" Anna's voice rose in pitch, shock evident in her tone."I said those days are over," Pervis repeated firmly. "If you want to accuse me of crimes, you better have proof. Real proof, not just your mother's hysteria or Noah's convenient s
