Amber POV

Two days after we returned to Sum, my phone rang while I was going through the twins' medical appointments.

I didn't even need to look at the screen.

"Mr. Stait?"

"Good morning, Amber."

I smiled and put the tablet aside.

"Please tell me you're finally calling with instructions. Jason volunteered me before even asking if I wanted to join."

Mr. Stait laughed on the other side of the line.

"He was surprisingly enthusiastic."

"Of course he was. He gets to sit comfortably in his office whi

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Volunteered my wife

    Jason POVAn international military competition had been the last thing on my mind.The president himself had called me two weeks earlier.It hadn't been an order.It had been a favor."Sum needs its best people."That was what he had said.Of course, I had tried to refuse.I had a company to run, a wife who was four months pregnant, two children who had nearly died in a plane explosion, and an international scandal following my family.Apparently, none of those reasons mattered."The country needs you."I hated when politicians used that sentence.So I had accepted.The moment Mr. Stait told me that he had a job for me, I immediately thought it had something to do with the plane, the trafficking investigation, or the people who had tried to kill my family, I hadn't even considered that it could be the same competition.Honestly, I had suggested Amber mostly because she was restless.For two days, she had been wandering around the castle, reorganizing documents, redesigning school sch

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Military Chaos

    Amber POVThe military SUV arrived just after sunrise.I kissed Alice and Alex goodbye one last time before stepping out of the castle, my bag hanging from one shoulder.Jason stood beside me, one hand resting on my lower back."Call me when you arrive."I smiled."You're saying that as if I'm going to war."He raised an eyebrow."Knowing your luck, that's still a possibility.""Comforting."He kissed my forehead before opening the door for me.As I climbed into the vehicle, something caught my attention.A white SUV was parked near the outer wall of the castle, partially hidden behind a row of trees.It was too far away to recognize the driver, but close enough to make my stomach twist."Jason."He immediately followed my gaze."I see it.""Do you think—""I don't know."His expression darkened."But they're trying very hard not to be seen."Emory leaned out of the driver's seat."We've already had people watching them since dawn."I blinked."You knew?"Mr. Stait laughed from the pa

Jason volunteered me before even asking if I wanted to join."Mr. Stait laughed on the other side of the line."He was surprisingly enthusiastic.""Of course he was. He gets to sit comfortably in his office while I get recruited by the military.""I'm sure he would disagree with that description."I narrowed my eyes, immediately suspicious."That's exactly the kind of answer that makes me think he's hiding something."Mr. Stait chuckled."Maybe."I sat back in my chair."So, what are my orders?""There will be an international reconnaissance exercise in the Pacific. The best candidates from each allied country will participate.""A military exercise?""Think of it as an oversized game of capture the f

    Amber POVThe castle was silent.For the first time in days, there were no reporters outside the gates, no lawyers calling every ten minutes, no helicopters following us from above.Only silence.I had spent the evening checking on the children every hour.Alice had kicked her blanket onto the floor at some point, while Alex was sleeping with the bedside lamp still on.Neither of them wanted the darkness anymore.Neither of them wanted to be alone.I couldn't blame them.By the time I returned to our room, Jason had just stepped out of the shower.He looked exhausted.Not the kind of exhaustion that sleep could fix.The kind that settled into your bones after too much fear, too much guilt, and too many sleepless nights.He sat on the edge of the bed to remove his watch, but halfway through the movement, his shoulders slumped forward.For a second, I genuinely thought he was going to fall."Jason?"He let out a tired laugh."I'm fine.""That's the third time you've said that today.""I

    Amber POVTwelve hours.Jason drove for twelve hours without stopping.Not once.The sun had disappeared and risen again while we crossed highways, mountains, and empty roads, yet he never asked me to take the wheel.He simply kept driving.I had offered at least twenty times."Jason, let me drive for a while.""I'm fine."That was always his answer."I'm fine."But he wasn't.I could see it in the dark circles under his eyes and in the way his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles had turned white hours ago.And somehow, the children understood.Alice, who usually complained after twenty minutes in the car, hadn't said a word.Alex hadn't asked to stop, either.Not even for the bathroom.They sat quietly in the back, curled up beneath blankets, occasionally glancing out the windows whenever we passed another car.They were scared.Terrified.And it broke my heart.Because this was exactly what I had wanted to avoid.The court hearings.The reporters.The threa

    Amber POVThree hours later, we arrived at the airport.Alice was asleep on my shoulder while Alex walked beside Jason, dragging his small suitcase.We were halfway to the plane when Jason suddenly stopped.His entire body tensed."Wait."I turned toward him."What happened?"He was staring at the cockpit."Who's flying that plane?"The airport employee frowned."Our usual crew."Jason didn't move."No."His voice had become frighteningly calm."That's not my pilot."My heart skipped a beat."What?"Jason narrowed his eyes."The uniform."I looked at him, confused."The safety clip is missing.""What safety clip?"Jason immediately pulled out his phone."The one my old unit uses to signal that everything is secure."Within seconds, he was making calls.Emory.Mr. Stait.Former members of his military team.The atmosphere changed instantly.Men in military uniforms stormed the runway.The pilot tried to run.He barely made it ten meters.Alice woke up crying as armed soldiers surrounde

    I didn’t cry. I didn’t shake. I didn’t look back, or mourned the life and the years i will never get back, lost forever. I just went home, time to pack and say goodbye to my old life. The penthouse doors opened with biometric recognition the moment I stepped inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass. Marb

    They called her in. No delay. No warning. The door opened ten minutes later. Amelie walked in looking immaculate — refreshed, polished, perfectly styled. Not a trace of nerves in her posture. At least not until her eyes landed on me. For a fraction of a second, the color drained from her face

    We moved quickly through the hallway. Adrian walked behind me, gun raised, covering the corridor while I forced Henry Watson forward. The mansion was quieter than expected. Too quiet. Which meant either the guards were regrouping… or Jason was already on his way. I glanced over my shoulder.
