Jacob was halfway through buttoning his shirt when his phone rang.He glanced at the screen, frowned, and answered. “Yes?”Bella watched from the edge of the bed as his posture straightened, his tone shifting into something polished and professional, the voice he never used with her anymore.“Europe?” he repeated. “Two days?”He listened, jaw tightening, then nodded even though the caller couldn’t see him. “Understood. I’ll be there.”When he ended the call, he exhaled sharply and ran a hand through his hair.“What is it?” Bella asked.“HR,” he said, already turning toward the wardrobe. “The new global boss is coming for inspection. He wants to see all the company’s heads. I need to be in Europe in two days.”Her stomach dropped. Europe. Distance. Space. Opportunity.“When were you planning to tell me?” she asked quietly.“I just did.”He pulled out a suit, laid it flat on the bed with mechanical precision. Everything about him suddenly moved faster, sharper as if she’d already become
Chapter 105
Olivia and May had argued, researched, prayed, and worried themselves thin before finally reaching a decision. Every school prospect came with glossy brochures and rehearsed assurances, but none could erase the memory of Ethan’s kidnapping, the panic, the helplessness, the scars that never quite faded. What they needed was not just excellence or prestige. They needed safety without compromise.That was how Unicorn Day and Boarding School entered their lives.The first thing Olivia noticed when they drove through the iron gates was the silence not the dead kind, but a controlled calm. The gates were tall, matte black, and reinforced with discreet steel panels that looked ornamental until you looked closer. Security cameras were embedded so seamlessly into the wrought designs that they appeared decorative. A uniformed guard greeted them by name, having checked their arrival time moments earlier, and the gates slid shut behind them with a low, final hum.Unicorn Day and Boarding Sch

Becca stood at the edge of the corridor long after Olivia and Andrew disappeared behind the carved oak doors. She hadn’t followed them not because she couldn’t, but because she refused to look desperate. Still, the image burned into her mind. Andrew hadn’t bowed. He hadn’t explained himself. He hadn’t even looked rattled when Blossom accused him of theft. Instead, he stood there calm, composed, snapping his fingers like a man who owned the room. Becca clenched her fingers around the stem of her wine glass until her knuckles whitened. “This wasn’t how it was supposed to go,” she muttered. The dinner had been her moment. Blossom had promised it would be. The accusations, the whispers, the careful poisoning of doubt Andrew was supposed to crack. Olivia was supposed to look foolish for defending a man with no standing. Instead, Olivia looked… protected. That was unforgivable. “Becca.” She turned sharply. Lake Chad stood a few feet away, his expression uneasy, his brows dr

Andrew stepped out of Lord George’s study and closed the door behind him softly.The hallway was quieter now. Most of the guests had retreated to smaller rooms, whispering, speculating, pretending not to listen while doing exactly that.He had taken only three steps when he sensed her.Olivia stood a few feet away from the door, arms crossed, posture stiff. She wasn’t trying to hide. She was waiting.Her eyes met his, dark and searching, irritation barely contained beneath a thin layer of restraint.“Come with me,” she said flatly.Andrew opened his mouth, but she had already turned on her heel.He followed.She didn’t slow down, not once, leading him through familiar corridors of the Beecroft manor until they reached the far wing. Olivia pushed open a door and stepped inside, then turned sharply and grabbed his wrist, dragging him in after her before shutting the door with a decisive click.Only then did she let go.“Sit,” she said, pointing at the armchair near the window.Andrew
Chapter 102
Lord George closed the door to his study and did not bother locking it. He never did. Anyone foolish enough to eavesdrop usually regretted it.Andrew stood where he always did near the desk, posture relaxed but respectful, hands loosely clasped behind him. Lord George moved to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a drink. He did not offer Andrew one.“How did the mission go?” he asked, without turning around.“Well,” Andrew replied. “Clean.”“That’s all you ever say.”“Because that’s all you need to hear.” he chuckledLord George smiled faintly and carried his glass to the desk. “And your welfare?” he asked, settling into his chair. “You look thinner.”Andrew exhaled once. “Occupational hazard.”“Hm.” Lord George studied him over the rim of his glass. “You’re not on active rotation anymore.”“No.”The word was firm. Decided.Lord George leaned back. “I’ll be taking a break from the SSA.”“A break,” Lord George echoed. “That’s new.”“Temporary,” Andrew said. “My parents’ company nee
Chapter 101
The silence Andrew’s gifts created did not last.Blossom recovered first.She laughed, short and brittle, the sound scraping against the stunned quiet. “Oh, please,” she said, waving a dismissive hand. “Do you all really believe this nonsense?”Several heads turned.Blossom’s eyes locked onto Andrew, sharp and accusing. “Those gifts didn’t come from you. They came from Olivia’s money.”Olivia stiffened. “That’s not true.”Blossom ignored her. “A man without a real job suddenly shows up with diamonds, contracts, cars?” She scoffed. “Do you think we’re stupid?”Andrew remained seated, posture relaxed, hands folded loosely on the table. He did not rush to defend himself.Blossom pressed on, encouraged by his silence. “You’ve been living off my niece since day one. Using her money to buy favors and pretend you’re something you’re not.”Olivia pushed her chair back and stood. “I did not give him my money,” she said, voice clipped. “Not a single cent.”Blossom turned on her immediately. “Of
