Chapter: Chapter 107: Ridiculous Question***~~ZARA~~***When I arrived at my family’s house, I stepped out of the car and barely had time to close the door before the maids came running from the house.They wiped their hands on their aprons and hurried towards the trunk, reaching for my bags before I had even finished getting out. One of them greeted me warmly while another immediately offered to help with the luggage. “Good afternoon, ma,” one of them greeted.“Good afternoon,” I replied, forcing a small smile.I was relieved that none of them asked me anything, though I could see the questions sitting on their faces. I couldn’t blame them. I had left the house as a married woman, and now I had returned with a car full of luggage and no husband beside me. Even without knowing what happened, the situation practically explained itself.I didn’t want to discuss it with anyone yet. Not the maids, not even the people who might have heard something through the grapevine. I just wanted to get inside, find somewhere quiet, and

Chapter: Chapter 106: The Gate***~~ZARA~~***I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white and said the only word that fit.“Two fucking bastards.”I held up my phone again staring at the pictures even though every second hurt, because some foolish part of me hoped that if I looked long enough, they would somehow turn into something else.Dante and Naomi were on a bed, and neither of them wore any clothes. My fingers trembled as I opened the video and pressed play.I watched Naomi lean towards him and lick his chest while he lay there looking perfectly comfortable and relaxed, as though there was nothing wrong with what she was doing.That was the part that hurt the most. It wasn’t just what Naomi did. It was how comfortable Dante looked while she did it. He didn’t look surprised or uncomfortable. He looked like he belonged there with her.I had spent the previous night worrying about him, calling him over and over, wondering what I had done to deserve his silence.“No, no, no,” I whispered, shakin

Chapter: Chapter 105: Two Fucking Bastards***~~ZARA~~***“Enough, Zara!” she snapped. “Your family’s company can never be separated from Wright Holdings. Besides, nobody forced you to sign anything.”I stared at her.Did she just say can never be separated?What exactly did she mean by that? I repeated her words in my head, hoping I had misunderstood something, but no matter how many times I went over them, they still made no sense.My family’s company could never be separated from Wright Holdings? Since when? And more importantly, what exactly had I signed?The confidence in her voice suddenly made me uneasy. She didn’t sound like someone bluffing to win an argument. She sounded like someone who knew she had something over me, and judging by that irritatingly calm expression, she was quite pleased that I hadn’t figured it out yet.Wait a minute.Was there something in that agreement I had overlooked?I mentally retraced the day I signed the document, trying to remember every conversation, every explanation, and every detai

Chapter: Chapter 104: Poor Thing***~~ZARA~~***Nobody in the room had an answer for me.A boardroom full of people in expensive suits suddenly found their pens, water glasses, and even the table's grain fascinating. Nobody wanted to look me in the eye.Cowards. The whole row of them.Apparently, everyone had plenty to say when Dante wasn’t around, but now that someone had finally asked a few uncomfortable questions, their voices had suddenly gone on vacation.Fine. If the board had decided to keep quiet, I knew exactly who I needed to speak to.I turned toward the one person at the table who actually owed me an explanation.“Adrian.” He looked at me.“Why are you sitting in my husband’s chair?” I asked, keeping my voice low and even. “Are you not ashamed of yourself? Your brother is somewhere out there going through the worst week of his life, and instead of standing by him, you’ve walked into the company behind his back and taken his seat as though it already belongs to you.” I held his gaze, refusing to let him

Chapter: Chapter 103: A Basic Requirement***~~ZARA~~***Mrs Caroline Wright moved fast, I’ll give her that.The DNA results had barely settled in last night’s family drama, and first thing in the morning, already in a boardroom trying to slide Adrian into my husband’s chair as if Dante had never existed. As if he hadn’t built that company into what it was. This woman didn’t even believe in taking a day off from being a problem.Like you need to understand that what was happening wasn't a grief reaction or a mother trying to protect her son; this was a plan, this had always been a plan, and last night had simply been the moment she decided to execute it.On my way downstairs, I spotted Nanny Valentina in the dining area, moving around with her usual early-morning efficiency as she directed the other staff.She turned when she heard me coming down the stairs, and one look at my pace probably told her this wasn’t going to be one of those mornings when I sat down for breakfast and entertained everyone with small talk.“Zara,

Chapter: Chapter 102: The New Ceo***~~ZARA~~***My phone rang like it had a personal problem with the concept of sleep.I shot upright so fast that the pillow I’d been hugging flew across the bed, and for a few seconds, I had absolutely no idea where I was, what time it was, or why the sun had already decided to shine through my curtains with that much confidence.Seriously, could we not ease into the morning?I blinked at the light, still half-asleep, then reached for my phone, hoping whoever decided to interrupt my very much needed rest had a good reason for it.The AC had been running all night, and the room was freezing. I didn’t realise just how cold it was until I was already halfway out of bed.I reached over and switched it off before doing anything else because my body needed to be at a reasonable temperature before I could function as a person.My phone rang again.I grabbed it without looking at the screen.“Hello?”“Zara! Good morning!” Julia’s voice came through the phone, bright and urgent enough to m
