Chapter: CHAPTER 138 TITLE: “HOPE ON THE PORCH”NATHAN'S POVTonight was the night.I had thought about this moment for weeks, planned every detail, and double-checked the ring box in my coat pocket at least a hundred times since this morning. The restaurant was perfect—intimate, warm lighting, and Isla's favorite table by the window reserved just for us.She arrived looking radiant as always, wearing a soft blush dress that complimented her glow. The stress of Titan Holdings hadn't dulled her spark, and somehow, seeing her walk through the door made my heart race the same way it had from day one."Wow," I said as she reached the table. "You always manage to leave me speechless."She laughed and leaned in to kiss my cheek. "Flattery won’t get you out of paying for dinner.""I wouldn’t dream of it. Tonight’s on me—completely."The waiter brought out a wine bottle I had pre-ordered, one from our first shared trip to Napa Valley. We toasted, laughed, and shared stories about our hectic weeks. But beneath my calm smile, I could barely

Chapter: CHAPTER 137: FIREPROOFISLA’S POVYou know that moment when an idea grabs hold of you and refuses to let go?That was me the morning after dinner at Nathan’s restaurant. I woke up before my alarm, mind already racing, fingers itching to write things down. I skipped my usual espresso and dove straight into my sketchpad, ideas flooding my brain faster than I could sketch.It wasn’t just about reinventing Titan Holdings. It was about reawakening myself. For too long, I’d been playing defense. Fixing problems. Patching holes. Watching Sterling Corporation steal our spotlight with boldness and edge I used to own.Not anymore.I rolled into Titan headquarters that morning like a woman possessed. My assistant, Claire, trailed behind me, struggling to keep up as I rattled off a stream of tasks."Schedule a pitch meeting with the creative department. Block off the boardroom from ten to two. And get me a double shot of courage in a coffee cup."She blinked. "Isla, are we… rebranding again?""No. We’re reawakening."B

Chapter: CHAPTER 136: Shadows, Wine, And A Little FireISLA'S POVSometimes, the best way to handle pressure is with a glass of wine, a playlist of early 2000s R&B, and a friend who knows just how to make you laugh until you forget why you were angry in the first place.That friend for me? Nathan.After a long week of back-to-back meetings, damage control, and trying to keep Titan Holdings from slipping deeper into the PR abyss, I found myself in Nathan’s new restaurant. He had insisted I come by to taste a new dish he was experimenting with. Something French, fancy, and hard to pronounce.The moment I walked into the soft, ambient lighting of the place, I felt a sliver of calm. The walls were a blend of earth tones and copper, sleek and modern, but warm. Nathan had poured his heart into this place. You could feel it in every polished surface.“You look like someone who just fired three people and lied about being fine,” he said the moment I walked in.I chuckled and sank into the plush booth. “I did fire two. And the third one technicall

Chapter: CHAPTER 135: CHAOS IN A SILK SUIT
VICTOR'S POVIt all began with a missed call.No, scratch that—it all began with the goddamn press release.I was sitting in my office, half-listening to my assistant drone on about a delayed shipment of Italian leather when my phone vibrated on the desk. I glanced at the screen. Three missed calls from our PR head, a woman who only called in emergencies. My gut twisted. Then came the message: "Check FashionThread. Now."The moment I opened the site, my heart dropped."Sterling Corp's New Creative Director Declares War on Titan Holdings." Sienna Cross, former army strategist turned fashion exec, shakes up the industry with sustainable ambition and fearless words.There was a video clip. Of Sienna. My Sienna. Speaking confidently to a crowd of reporters outside Sterling HQ. "Titan has relied too long on legacy. It's time for the future to win. We’re not here to compete. We’re here to take over."Shit.I dropped my phone. "Everyone out," I told my team.Once the room cleared, I paced. M

Chapter: CHAPTER 134: “RISING FROM THE ASHES”
SIENNA’S POVhe morning sun poured through the glass walls of my office, spilling golden light across the long conference table. I stood by the window, sipping black coffee, my mind already working faster than my hands could type. I had been at Sterling Corp for a month now, and the pressure was only increasing. But so was my determination.This company had once been a giant in the fashion world—a place where innovation and style ruled. But now, it was trailing behind. Titan Holdings had taken the spotlight. Their marketing was sharper, their runway shows more daring, and worst of all, they had poached several of Sterling’s top clients. That wasn’t just business—it was war.Today, I was going to set the tone for the future.I turned to my assistant, Lillian, a sharp, efficient woman I had recently promoted after noticing her strong instincts. “Schedule the meeting. I want every department head present at noon.”She nodded without asking questions. That was what I liked about her—quick

Chapter: CHAPTER 133: RISE OF THE NEW COMMANDERSIENNA'S POVMy heels clicked sharply against the glossy floors of Sterling Corporation as I stepped into the building for the first time not as a visitor, not as Victor's girlfriend, but as the newly appointed Chief Operations Director. The title was both daunting and exhilarating. It wasn’t just a nameplate on an office door; it was a challenge, and I never backed away from one.The receptionist offered me a polite but hesitant smile. I caught the way her eyes flicked to the security badge on my coat. No doubt word had spread that someone new was joining the top brass, but few knew exactly who. Or why. Or how fast things were about to change.Sterling Corp was polished on the surface, with glass walls, minimalist art, and air that smelled faintly of lavender and ink. But beneath the beauty, I could already sense disorganization. There was no urgency in the air, no spark in the eyes of the workers I passed. They looked tired, routine. A place that had accepted mediocrity as a new nor
