Chapter 44–Laura’s POV After I promised Aryn that I would speak to Daniel, I left her and went in search of him. I spotted him already engaged in conversation with some guests, their laughter carrying across the room. Not wanting to interrupt, I stopped and watched from a distance, deciding to wait until he was done.Then, my phone rang. The number was unfamiliar. I hesitated, my thumb hovering over the answer button, but curiosity won.“Hello?” I asked.The voice on the other end was low, urgent, and careful. “Ms. Laura, I have something I need you to see. Something only you can help with. Can you come?”“Where?” I asked instinctively.The voice gave an address, and then a soft warning. “Come alone. And… please, be careful.”I frowned, but I didn’t hesitate. Something in the tone, pleading, urgent, sincere pushed me to go. I grabbed my coat and left the party, the city streets blurring past as I made my way to the location.The building was old, unremarkable, tucked between more mod

Chapter 43_Aryn’s POVI was at my desk, the afternoon sunlight slicing through the blinds, when my phone rang. The ringtone was ordinary, but the number flashing across the screen made my stomach tighten.“Hello?” I answered, forcing my voice to sound casual.The voice on the other end was crisp. “The case… the one you asked us to cover? Someone has reopened it and it has been sent to the firm you are working with."Time stopped moving.A cold sweat ran down my spine. My fingers froze on the keyboard. How?"Who was it sent to? I asked in panic."I think the name is Laura if I was right, you can check it out yourself." She replied.I didn’t wait to think. That case I was trying to bury was dangerous. If Laura touched it, if she even glanced at it, it could unravel everything I had worked so hard to control.I grabbed my bag, my heart hammering so hard. “I’ll be right there,” I said and hung up.Running down the corridor, I rounded the corner and went to Laura's office hoping it would b

Chapter 42–The PartyAryn’s POVThe invitation arrived a week ago. A gala for the firm event. Daniel had mentioned he needed a date. I knew Laura would be the one he would choose.I smiled quietly to myself. I would make sure she didn’t go. I would make sure that, by the time the night ended, I would be the one beside him.The planning was simple.Step one is to make Laura unavailable. I sent a carefully worded email about a client question she couldn’t ignore. Step two is to misdirect Daniel. I whispered to him earlier that I might attend, only if no one else was available. Planting the idea that I could step in if needed. He would consider it.Step three is the timing. My entrance had to be perfect, not too early, not too late. Daniel needed to notice me, see me in the right light, without me forcing it. Everything about tonight had to look effortless.When I arrived, Laura was already there. Simple, professional dress, perfect posture. Daniel approached her first. Smiling politel

Laura’s POVI sat at my desk staring at the file Michael had just handed me. I hadn’t touched it until I wasalone. The divorce papers, the harassment claims, the property split every word felt like a punchto the chest. Kayla had done everything she could think of to make this messy. I wasn’tsurprised that she was ruthless, but I didn’t expect her to be this calculated.I flipped through the pages quickly. Sexual harassment. Seventy-thirty property split. Shewanted seventy percent of Michael’s companies. My blood boiled. The audacity. The way shewas trying to corner him, make him look weak, make him lose everything. I know I shouldn't pityhim at all. But, I couldn't help it.I clenched my fists. I wasn’t going to let her win. I wouldn’t.I reached for my phone and called Daniel.I dialed Daniel. The moment he answered, I didn’t waste time.“Daniel, I need your advice,” Isaid, my voice steady even though my heart was racing. I heard a case here.“Kayla, the wife ofmy client… sh

Michael’s POVI didn’t even wait a second after leaving my office. Kayla’s file was still in my hands, her smirkburned into my memory, and my blood was boiling. I knew I needed help, real help, notsomeone pretending to be loyal like my staff. I knew who I could trust. Kael.I drove fast, my mind racing. My fingers tapped on the steering wheel. I went over every detail inmy head. Sexual harassment claim, 70/30 property split, the threat of a powerful lawyer.By the time I reached Kael’s place, my chest was tight, my mind spinning. I grabbed the file andknocked. He opened the door almost immediately. His face went from casual to sharp as soonas he saw me holding the papers.“Alpha?” His voice was calm, but there was an edge in it.“What’s wrong?”“I’ll show you,” I said, thrusting the file toward him.“Kayla. She’s… she’s insane.”Kael took the file carefully, his eyes scanning every page. I watched him closely, seeing hisexpression shift from curiosity to shock, then to rage.“

I was still sitting at thatcafé table with Laura’s boss, pretending to listen to whatever he was saying while my mind wason Laura. But when the call came in and I saw the company line on my screen, my chesttightened.“Sir, you need to come immediately,” my staff said the moment I answered.“Madam Kayla ishere. She’s causing trouble.”That was all I needed to hear.I didn’t even bother giving Daniel a proper goodbye. I stood up, walked out of the café, andheaded straight for the car. My hands were already tightening on the steering wheel before Ieven reversed out of the parking space. I couldn’t understand her.
