The ride back to the Ratford mansion was nothing compared to the silence and tension that followed Xander into the office.

People were already waiting for him. They trailed behind him down the corridor and into his office, the door closing softly behind them.

“What happened, bro?” Karl asked. “How did things go?”

Xander didn’t answer. He crossed the room and sank into his chair.

“Did you two reconcile?”

David had gone quiet. One look at Xander’s face told him enough.

“Karl,” David said quietly.

That single word made Karl pause. He studied Xander more closely now—the rigid posture, the stillness that meant too much was happening beneath the surface.

David turned back to Xander. “If you want to be alone, we can—”

“I want you to find out where Selena was last night,” Xander cut in.

The room stilled.

David frowned. Karl blinked.

“What happened?”

“I want to know,” Xander continued, “if she really met Frederick.”

David was shocked. “Frederick?”

He locked eyes

    The boutique was quiet in that expensive way—soft music, polished floors, sales attendants hovering at a respectful distance as Selena and Cassandra walked in. They didn’t belong there. They owned the space. Cassandra lifted a dress from the rack, barely glancing at the price tag before handing it to the attendant. Selena was already examining another piece, her expression bored. "Aunt, shall we go home now. You've already bought more than needed." "Oh my dear, it feels like ages since we came shopping together. You have nothing to do sitting at home. Stop complaining already! I will be done in a minute." Cassandra reached for another dress at the same moment another hand closed around it and their fingers brushed. Cassandra frowned and turned, her gaze landing on a woman clutching the other end of the fabric, eyes sharp and territorial. “Excuse me,” Cassandra said coolly. “I was taking that.” The woman scoffed. “I grabbed it first.” Cassandra’s lips curved into a s

    Xander got home late. The house was quiet in that artificial way that never truly meant peace—only waiting. He had just taken two steps inside when Selena appeared, as if she had been standing there all along. “Xander,” she said softly, walking toward him. “What happened at the company?” He didn’t slow down. He didn’t look at her. Nothing in his expression shifted as he passed her and said flatly, “Nothing happened.” Selena frowned. She felt his coldness but still hurried after him, shortening the distance between them. “Xander—” She reached for him when he was standing behind the couch, her fingers brushing his sleeve as she tried to move closer. “That woman—Evelyn—she set the board against you, didn’t she? She took your position.” His steps stopped. Slowly, Xander turned. “How did you know about that?” he was a bit surprised. The question was calm, but there was something sharp beneath it—something that cut. Selena’s breath faltered. “I—” she swallowed. “Mira told

    David stared at Xander as though he had just spoken in a foreign language. For a moment, he didn’t even blink. “You can’t possibly expect that to pull off so smoothly, bro,” David finally said. “Liam is no fool. He’s not blind to whatever childish game you think you’re playing.” “I need to talk to her,” Xander replied flatly. “I can’t have that asshole present.” David looked at him sharply. “He’ll react. And you know it.” “I would’ve spoken to her already,” Xander snapped. “Liam won’t stay still—but neither can I. I need to know why she said that to the old man. I need to talk to Tatiana not Evelyn…” His words cut short, tightening his jaw. He turned abruptly. “Have you found Frederick?” David nodded. “Faster than I thought. And he’s exactly where Liam saw Selena.” That made Xander’s eyes darken. “It gets me thinking,” David continued. “Why would Selena hide the fact that she knew where Frederick was? And that she was meeting him?” Xander signed. “She and Frede

    Tatiana stepped out of the building, the glass doors sliding shut behind her with a soft hiss. The late morning breeze brushed against her skin, cool but, doing nothing to ease the tight knot in her chest. She headed toward the parking lot, her posture straight, her face carefully composed.Freda followed almost immediately.“So?” Freda asked, catching up with her. “How did it go?”Tatiana didn’t slow her steps. “Fine.”The word came out flat. Too quick. Too controlled.Freda frowned. “Fine?” she repeated. “Then why do you look like the world is about to collapse because you failed to save your ex-husband?”Tatiana stopped walking.She turned slowly to look at Freda. “Like what?”Freda folded her arms, studying her face. “Like you’re sulking.”“I’m not sulking,” Tatiana said, her voice calm but edged.“Then why are you looking like that?” Freda pressed. “Did the board refuse you? Or—” she lowered her voice slightly, “—is Xander in danger?”Tatiana scoffed softly. “If you care so muc

    Tatiana sat still, composed, while Xander locked his eyes on her. He didn’t bother hiding it. Her heart reacted before she could stop it. A tiny tremor ran through her, quickly masked beneath calm control. “I agree,” Xander said suddenly."Evelyn, should take my position." Tatiana hadn’t expected it. Even though she had prepared herself for resistance, his words made her heart skip a beat. She felt his gaze burning into her skin, intense and unrelenting—but she refused to weaken under it. She stayed seated and gave a forced smile. Jacob was seething openly. He hadn't expected things to take a different turn. He knew the Ratfords were against Xander–Liam especially –why would his wife come to Xander’s aid? Why would she want the position? And why would she know his secrets? Xander on the other hand was thinking. Questions crowded his mind. What was going on? Maybe he hadn’t taken his time six years ago. The thought struck him sharply. And now—now he intended to find eve

    No one spoke. No one moved. The room, moments ago filled with threats, now sat suspended—caught between shock and calculation. Xander looked at Tatiana. For a brief second, he forgot where he was. David did too. The shock on David’s face was unmistakable, his eyes fixed on her as though he were watching something unreal unfold. Outside the boardroom, Freda laughed softly—an anxious sound—as she stood near the door, eyes glued to it. She had been the one to call Tatiana in when she heard Jacob, the old vulture, was gathering the board. Tatiana had been in the car with Liam, already taking the turn toward the mansion, when Freda’s call came in. The surprise on her face had quickly given way to worry—one she didn’t want to admit aloud. Liam had heard it too. Jacob was moving to take Xander down from his position.It was expected, but why was she acting like it's affecting her more than it was supposed to? At first, Freda had thought Tatiana wouldn’t intervene. Xander no
