The Laurent Group’s tech summit was full of energy under the glass-domed canal house. Elise stood by the fancy bar, wearing her green dress, feeling unsure and worried. Erik had lied about getting the Laurent partnership, and it shook her.

It made her think of her marriage to Lukas Brandt—how he had quietly supported her and was so talented with herbs. Now, compared to Erik’s fake confidence, Lukas felt irreplaceable. She felt guilty for misjudging him and for giving him an ultimatum that ended their relationship. She knew she had to make things right.

Spotting Lukas near a marble pillar, his dark jacket understated, the emerald crest pin glinting, Elise approached, her heart pounding. “Lukas,” she said, her voice soft, hesitant. “I was wrong. About the divorce, about everything. I’m sorry.”

Lukas’s hazel eyes met hers, cold and unyielding. “Your apologies come too late, Elise,” he said, his tone sharp, cutting through the summit’s din. “You made your choice.” He turned, his broad sh

    The morning sun shone through the glass walls of Van der Meer Enterprises’ Rotterdam office, lighting up the boardroom where Elise Van der Meer stood in front of her team.The Laurent partnership was secured, a triumph for her tech empire, and she faced her board with measured confidence. “This deal is yours,” she said, her voice steady, addressing the suited executives and Margot, whose blonde bob gleamed under the lights. “Your innovation, your dedication—it clinched the Laurent Group’s trust.” She paused, her thoughts flickering to Lukas Brandt’s quiet role—his refusal to sabotage her dossier—but she kept it unspoken, her pride still a delicate shield.Margot, tablet in hand, beamed. “We’re unstoppable now,” she said, her voice bright, scribbling notes. “The board’s thrilled, Elise. This puts us ahead of every rival.” The executives nodded, their murmurs of approval filling the room. Elise smiled, but privately, she made a vow, her fingers tracing the edge of her desk. *I’ll be mor

    At the Laurent Group’s signing ceremony, Sofia Laurent, radiant in a crimson dress, stood at the head table, her dark eyes scanning the gathered elite. “Elise, Erik, join us,” she called, her French accent warm but deliberate, gesturing to the seats beside Lukas Brandt. The emerald crest pin on her lapel matched Lukas’s, a quiet symbol of their alliance. “You’ve earned a place here.”Elise Van der Meer hesitated, her emerald dress catching the light, her green eyes wary but composed. Accepting Sofia’s invitation meant facing Lukas, whose rescue and quiet refusal to sabotage her company still lingered in her mind. “Thank you,” she said, her voice measured, as she took her seat, Erik de Vries at her side, his tailored suit pristine, his gray eyes gleaming with self-assured pride. Margot, trailing behind, clutched her tablet, her blonde bob swaying as she murmured, “This is it, Elise. We’ve won.”Lukas sat calmly, his dark jacket understated, his hazel eyes scanning the room with herbali

    Elise stood at the center of a polished conference room, her eyes sharp despite the tremor in her hands. Stefan’s assault and Lukas Brandt’s swift rescue lingered in her mind, but she pushed the thoughts aside, her focus locked on securing the Laurent partnership. Across from her, a Laurent manager, a stern woman with silver-streaked hair, reviewed Van der Meer Enterprises’ proposal, her pen tapping rhythmically.“Your AI diagnostics are impressive,” the manager said, her Dutch accent clipped. “The Iron Tulip approves, but we need guarantees on scalability.” Elise leaned forward, her voice steady, authoritative. “We’ve scaled our algorithms across three continents. I’ll stake my empire on their reliability.” Her confidence masked the unease gnawing at her—Erik de Vries’s lie about his influence, Lukas’s selfless defense. The room felt smaller, the stakes higher.Margot, her assistant, stood nearby, her blonde bob pristine, her tablet glowing with data. “Our projections show a 40% mar

    The atrium of the Laurent Group’s tech summit buzzed with renewed energy, the glass-domed canal house regaining its rhythm after the chaos.Elise Van der Meer stood near a marble pillar, her emerald dress slightly creased, her green eyes fixed on Lukas Brandt as summit security and Amsterdam police swarmed the scene. The zip-tie marks on her wrists stung, but it was Lukas’s swift rescue—his precise kicks felling Stefan’s guards—that shook her. Her pride, a steel cage around her heart, silenced the thanks she owed him, his strength a reminder of the man she’d underestimated.Erik de Vries, his tailored suit rumpled, helped Margot to her feet, her blonde bob disheveled but her eyes bright with relief. “Brandt was impressive,” Erik said, his voice grudging but loud enough for Elise to hear. “Took those guards down like they were nothing.” Margot nodded, clutching her retrieved tablet, her usual sharpness softened by the ordeal. Elise remained mute, her thoughts churning. Lukas’s heroics

    Elise stood bound, her emerald dress creased, her eyes blazing as Stefan’s burly security team tightened their grip on her wrists. Margot, zip-tied beside her, trembled, her blonde bob disheveled, her tablet abandoned on the floor. Stefan loomed close, his dark eyes venomous, the red mark from Elise’s earlier slap still vivid. “Comply, Elise,” he snarled, “or Margot pays the price.”Erik de Vries, his tailored suit rumpled, tried to intervene, his gray eyes flashing with bravado. “Back off, Stefan,” he said, stepping forward, but two guards seized him, pinning his arms with ease. Erik struggled, his voice cracking. “You can’t do this!” The crowd of summit attendees watched, frozen, their whispers a low hum beneath the chandeliers’ glow.Elise’s heart pounded, her pride warring with fear for Margot. “You’re a coward,” she spat, her voice sharp. Her hand flew out, striking Stefan’s cheek with a resounding crack, the second slap igniting his fury. The crowd gasped, the canal’s shimmer o

    At the Laurent Group’s tech summit. Elise eyes blazing with defiance as Stefan, the humiliated Laurent associate, loomed before her. His cheek still bore the red mark of her slap, his dark eyes seething with wounded pride. Flanked by four burly security guards in black suits, he sneered, his voice dripping with menace. “You’ll regret that, Elise. Comply with my offer, or I’ll make things… unpleasant.”Elise’s jaw tightened, her heart pounding but her voice steady. “I’d rather lose everything than stoop to you,” she said, her words sharp, cutting through the atrium’s hum. Margot, beside her, clutched her tablet, her blonde bob trembling as she glared at Stefan. Erik de Vries, his tailored suit pristine but his gray eyes wide with panic, stepped forward, his voice faltering. “Stefan, let’s talk this out. No need for trouble.”Stefan laughed, a harsh sound that drew curious glances from summit attendees. “Talk? You’re out of your depth, de Vries.” He nodded to his guards, who moved with
