It was the next morning

Brianna sits on the edge of the hotel bed,as I pass her a glass of water, her hands trembling as she clutches the water. Her eyes are red from crying, and her voice shakes as she speaks.

“Justin… he forced me to sign the documents,” she says, her voice barely above a whisper. “He threatened me and put me in a cell. There was nothing I could do.”

I sit across from her, my expression hidden but my mind racing. Justin’s actions are even more despicable than I imagined.

“What else did he do?” I ask, my voice calm but firm.

Brianna takes a deep breath, her hands tightening around the glass. “If I didn't comply, he threatened to kill me. He… he took everything. My father’s properties, his wealth… it’s all gone.”

Her voice breaks, and she looks away, tears streaming down her face.

I lean forward, my tone steady. “You’re safe now. And I promise you, I’ll get those documents back.”

Justin’s penthouse is a mess. Shattered vases, overturned furniture, and b

  • Chapter 88: The ultimatum

    "You were going to publish those photos," I say. "Weren’t you?"She doesn’t flinch. "Yes. I was."No remorse. No apology. Just the cold certainty of someone who believes she’s doing the right thing. My fist clenches, and without thinking, I grab the nearest object a glass vase on the shelf and hurl it against the wall. It shatters into a hundred pieces."Why, Lydia? What the hell were you thinking?""Look around, Kelvin," she says calmly, gesturing to her shelves.That’s when I notice it. Her cabinets are open. Files missing. Shelves cleared. Something feels off."Where are your documents?"She shrugs, too calm for comfort. "Ask your internal audit team. They took everything this morning. Said they were doing a sudden investigation."I narrow my eyes. "On whose orders?""Find out," she replies, and turns away from me.I pull out my phone and within minutes I’m marching down to the audit department, rage barely kept in check. The director meets me with trembling hands, clearly not expe

  • Chapter 87: The Fabricated Scandal

    Lydia’s POV The dossier on Brianna is disappointingly clean. Too clean. I flip through the pages again, searching for something a skeleton in her closet, a financial irregularity, anything I can use to tear her down. Nothing. My fingers tighten around the edge of the folder. Fine. If she won’t give me ammunition, I’ll make my own. I dial the number of the man I hired a handsome, disposable face with a talent for manipulation. “It’s a go,” I say quietly. “Make sure the reporters get the shot.” He chuckles. “She won’t know what hit her.” I hang up, staring out the window at the city lights. This is war. Brianna’s POV The club pulses with music and bodies, the bass thrumming through my veins. I shouldn’t be here. Not with everything happening Zac’s games, Lydia’s investigation, Kelvin’s growing distance. But I needed to forget. Just for one night. The vodka tonic in my hand is my third or is it fourth? My head swims, the edges of the room blurring. That’

  • Chapter 86: The Poisoned Cage

    Olivia's POV To avoid another misunderstanding, I stop Eddy before he can even think about running to Kelvin. "We need to be sure," I tell him, my voice calm but firm. He's frustrated I can see it all over his face but I won’t risk stirring chaos without proof. “If we tell Kelvin now, and it turns out to be nothing, it’ll only push him further into confusion and mistrust.”Eddy frowns, pacing slightly, but he knows I’m right. I continue, “We investigate first. We watch. We dig. Once we have something solid, we’ll tell him. Until then, we stay quiet.”He finally nods, reluctantly agreeing. I feel the pressure building in my chest. Everything’s spiraling around Kelvin, and if we’re not careful, we’ll lose the little control we have left. I care about him maybe too much and right now, protecting him means holding back the truth… just a little longer.Kelvin's POV I sit in my office, the city skyline glowing beyond the tinted windows. But I’m not really looking at it. My mind is elsewhe

  • Chapter 84: The Traitor in the Shadow

    Kelvin's POV The air has felt different lately, heavier. There’s a buzz around me I can’t shake eyes watching, shadows moving. Ever since I went public, I’ve become a target in a different way. It’s no longer about corporate sabotage; now it’s personal. Every handshake could be poison, every smile a lie.Eddy's been quiet since the doctor cleared him. I expected him to take it easy, but I should have known better. That man doesn’t know how to sit still. He’s somewhere out there, and I know better than to think he’s just resting. He’s hunting, calculating, and watching the very walls that surround me.The last few days, I’ve noticed something odd about one of my bodyguards . He’s attentive but too perfect. Memorizes my schedule down to the second. And when I double back or change course, there’s the slightest flicker of hesitation in his expression. Not fear. Not concern. Calculation.I didn’t say anything to Eddy. I figured I’d monitor the situation, but something told me he already

  • Chapter 84: The Poison Spreads

    Brianna's POVI pull into my driveway just after leaving Kelvin’s place, still reeling from the way he snapped at me. I tell myself not to take it personally. He's under pressure, the media won’t stop following him, and everything about us is suddenly trending. But it still hurts. I just wanted to talk about our future, not fight.As I’m unlocking my front door, I hear a voice behind me.“Rough night?”I turn sharply. Zac.Of all people, why him?“I don’t have time for your games,” I say, stepping back. But he raises his hands as if in peace.“I’m not here to fight. I just thought you’d want to know the truth.”My jaw tightens. “What truth?”He leans casually against the wall. “I just came from Lydia’s house. She and I had an interesting conversation.”I try not to react, but my pulse quickens.“She made a deal with me,” he continues. “She wants you out of the picture. No marriage, no spotlight. She thinks you’re a threat to Kelvin’s empire.”I stare at him, unblinking. I want to say

  • Chapter 83: Breaking Point

    Kelvin's POV The night is quiet too quiet.I sit alone in my study, the warm glow of my desk lamp casting long shadows on the wall. I try to focus on the stack of reports in front of me, but the words blur together. My thoughts keep drifting to Brianna. To Lydia. To everything spiraling out of control since I revealed my identity.I lean back in my chair, staring at the ceiling.How did it all get so complicated?The knock on the door pulls me out of my haze. I expect it to be one of the new bodyguards, maybe checking in but when I open the door, it’s Brianna.She walks in like she belongs here. Her heels click softly against the marble, her perfume trailing behind her like a memory. She smiles gently, holding a bottle of wine.“I figured we could have a proper evening. Just us.”I nod, stepping aside. “You didn’t have to.”“I wanted to,” she replies, brushing past me. “It’s been tense lately. I miss... this. Us.”We sit down on the couch, glasses in hand, and for a while, it’s peace
