The Vance Legacy
"You aren't going to Geneva to fight a legal war, my love," he whispered, framing her cheek with his broad palm, his dark blue eyes burning with an absolute, terrifying conviction. "You are going to Geneva to watch me execute a corporate execution."
Architect Evelyn Bennett signed a corporate marriage contract with Alexander Vance the terrifying, unyielding Chairman of Vance Enterprises for one reason: to protect her late father's legacy from absolute ruin. She expected cold balance sheets, ruthless board meetings, and a husband made of ice. She didn't expect the fierce, intoxicating devotion of a man who would burn down empires to keep her safe.
When a bitter ghost from Evelyn's past resurfaces with forged debt notes and a multi-billion-dollar legal snare designed to strip her of her life's work, her enemies make one fatal mistake, they assume she is standing alone.
Can Evelyn and Alexander dismantle a global conspiracy before it destroys everything they’ve built, or will the shadows of the past shatter their fragile sanctuary? Find out in The Vance Legacy, an explosive story of power, revenge, protective devotion, and an unbreakable love that defies the odds.

Chapter: Chapter 2: A calculated acquisitionPOV: Alexander VanceThe rain hit the windshield of my Maybach in violent, erratic sheets, blurring the glowing neon skyline of the city into streaks of gold and crimson.From the leather-upholstered backseat, I stared at the digital clock on the dashboard. 11:42 PM."Sir, the road ahead near the Grand Regency Estate is partially flooded," Harrison, my personal driver and chief of security, said, catching my eye in the rearview mirror. "Should I take the highway bypass back to the penthouse?""No," I replied smoothly, not looking up from the glowing tablet in my lap. "Keep going down the main boulevard.

Tomorrow morning, I was supposed to walk down the aisle and marry Julian. Three years of dating, two years of my family pushing us together to merge our boutique design firm with his father’s logistics empire, and it all came down to this final dress fitting.Except my chest felt like it was strapped into a vise."Evelyn, darling, stop pacing," my mother’s voice rang out from the hallway outside the fitting room.
