Chapter: The man who never leftChapter 10Ashley stared at the man standing before her, unable to believe what her eyes were seeing.“Dominic…”The name escaped her lips as little more than a whisper.Five years.It had been five years since she had left New York broken, abandoned, and convinced her life was over. Throughout those years, only one person had remained by her side without asking for anything in return.Dominic Walker.He looked almost exactly as she remembered, yet somehow even more intimidating. His tailored black suit fit him perfectly, emphasizing his tall, athletic frame. His sharp jawline, piercing gray eyes, and calm expression gave away nothing, but Ashley knew him well enough to recognize the anger hidden beneath that calm exterior.His gaze swept over her quickly.“Are you hurt?”Ashley blinked, still trying to process everything that had happened.“I… I don’t think so.”Dominic stepped closer, inspecting the small scrape on her wrist where she had hit the wall during the struggle. His expres

Chapter: The first moveChapter 9The city never truly slept.From the twenty third floor of the Grand Crescent Hotel, Ashley stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the glittering lights below. New York looked exactly as she remembered beautiful, ruthless, and full of memories she wished she could erase.She let out a slow breath before drawing the curtains shut.Tomorrow was the Global Innovation Awards.Tomorrow, the world’s attention would be on her.She had prepared for this moment for five years.Nothing was going to ruin it.After taking a quick shower, Ashley changed into a silk robe and settled onto the bed with her tablet, reviewing the speech she intended to give the following evening.A soft knock interrupted her.“Room service.”Ashley frowned.“I didn’t order anything.”“Complimentary dessert from hotel management, ma’am.”She hesitated.The hotel was one of the most luxurious in Manhattan. Complimentary gifts for VIP guests weren’t unusual.StillSomething didn’t feel right.She walke

Chapter: Shadows in the darkChapter 8Ashley’s heels clicked softly against the pavement as she stepped out of the hotel lobby. The evening breeze carried the scent of rain, making Manhattan’s busy streets feel unusually cold.She tightened her grip on her handbag and glanced at the illuminated skyline. Five years ago, this city had witnessed her downfall. Tonight, it welcomed her back like nothing had happened.A yellow taxi pulled up in front of the entrance.“Where to, ma’am?” the driver asked.“The Grand Crescent Hotel.”The taxi merged into the steady stream of traffic.Ashley leaned her head against the window, watching the city lights blur into streaks of gold and white. Her thoughts drifted back to Alvin.The look in his eyes when he saw her…Shock.Disbelief.Regret.For a brief moment, she had almost believed he still cared.Almost.Her fingers instinctively reached for the silver bracelet around her wrist—a gift from Dominic on the day she successfully walked again.“Never let your past define your fu

Chapter: The truth he deniedCHAPTER 7The words hit me like a bucket of ice water.My husband.For a brief second, I forgot how to breathe.The room suddenly felt smaller, the air thicker, pressing against my chest until every breath became a struggle.Alvin was here.Why?I stared blankly at the nurse, hoping she would laugh and tell me she’d mistaken someone else for my husband.She didn’t.“He said his name is Alvin Wellington,” she added gently. “Should I ask him to come up?”My fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket until my knuckles turned white.Just hearing his name made my stomach twist violently.Images flashed through my mind one after another.The birthday car.The failed brakes.His voice inside the hospital room.“She can’t remember.”The injection.The lies.The humiliation at Elena’s mansion.Every single memory came rushing back with such force that my entire body trembled.“No.”The word escaped my lips before I even realized I’d spoken.The nurse blinked.“I’m sorry?”“I said no.”Th

Chapter: Ashley’s povCHAPTER 6The silence between us stretched.Heavy.Uncomfortable.I didn’t look at him.I couldn’t.I simply wiped the tears from my cheeks with the back of my hand, pretending he wasn’t there.Pretending I hadn’t just completely fallen apart in front of a stranger.“I’m sorry.”His voice was surprisingly calm.“I didn’t mean to interrupt.”I remained quiet.What was I supposed to say?That it was alright?Nothing about today was alright.Not my marriage.Not my life.Not the memories that had returned.Nothing.“I should probably leave.”His footsteps shifted slightly as though he was turning toward the door.For some reason, relief washed through me.Good.Leave.Everyone eventually left anyway.Just like Alvin.Just like everyone else.“You almost got yourself killed back there.”His words stopped me.I frowned slightly.“What?”My voice came out hoarse from crying.He slipped both hands into his pockets before answering.“When my driver slammed the brakes, your wheelchair was alre

Chapter: Ashely POVCHAPTER 5Ashley POVThe moment the door clicked shut behind the strange man, the room fell silent the silence so loud and deafening.I let out a shaky breath I didn’t even realize I had been holding, my fingers tightening around my hospital gown as I stared around.Hell, everything still hurt not physically. No. it wasn’t the kind of pain that came with bruises or blood, but the kind that came from betrayal from the kind of truth you wished you could unlearn.Alvin…My fingers curled tighter into the gown, nails digging into my lap as his name echoed in my head like a curse I couldn’t escape, just as the words from Bethel hit me again.'Ma Ashley, your company has been handed to Sir Alvin, and you can’t get it back again unless he signs it over himself.'Of course, Alvin had done it yet again. He had taken everything. As if trying to kill me wasn’t enough, he had stolen my company my hard work as well as my life.A broken laugh slipped past my lips, dry and hollow at the thought.To
