Amber POV

Amber sighed and looked from John Stait to Emory Watson with visible disbelief.

“How,” she asked calmly, “is the evidence I just handed over not enough to keep them behind bars?”

Neither man answered immediately.

So she continued.

“I presented one of the bombs that was placed at the university. The one I deactivated in the warehouse where I was forced to play their little game.”

Her voice remained level, but every word carried weight.

“I gave you videos and digital footprints placing

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   for your own protection

    Amber POV“Tell me where you are,” Mr. Sun said at last, his voice steady but stripped of its earlier ease. “And I will meet you there, son. But I cannot do this on the phone.”Jason did not hesitate.“I’m at the military base,” he replied, the dryness in his tone cutting through the room.There was a brief pause on the other end.Then—“I’ll see you there, son. I’m leaving right now.”Another pause, softer this time, heavier.“And Jason… just know this.”The entire room seemed to still around us.“Everything that was hidden from you… was done for your own protection.”The line went dead.Silence followed.Not the quiet of uncertainty.The quiet of something approaching.Jason did not move immediately. The phone remained in his hand, the screen dimming slowly as if even it understood the weight of what had just been set in motion.I stepped closer again, my hand finding his arm.He exhaled slowly.Not relief.Preparation.Across the room, Emory exchanged a glance with Mr. Stait. Neit

    Amber POVEmory rose from his chair with quiet certainty, the kind that did not ask for permission.“Jason,” he said, his voice even but edged with purpose, “I think it is time to call your grandparents, don’t you?”The words settled over the room like a final piece placed on a board none of us had realized we were playing.Jason did not answer immediately.He went pale. Not dramatically, not in a way that would draw attention from anyone who did not know him—but I did. I saw the way the color drained from his face, the way his shoulders stilled, the way his eyes closed as if shutting out the present might give him space to understand the past.Even with his eyes shut, I could see the movement beneath them. Quick. Restless. Searching. He was thinking—no, reliving—pulling apart memories he had once accepted and forcing them into a new shape. One that fit what we now knew.I reached for his hand.It was cold. Slightly damp.Jason’s fingers tightened around mine, firm and deliberate. Not

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Old wounds

    Jason did not sit this time. He remained standing, arms crossed, eyes fixed somewhere past the walls. He wasn't looking at us—he was looking through the years.“My father remarried when I was three,” he said flatly. No emotion. Just a log entry. “When my brother Oscar was born…”A pause. Not hesitation. Calibration.“I was sent away.”John Stait frowned slightly. “Sent where?”Jason’s jaw tightened. “To live with extended family,” he said. “I was five.”The way he spat the words made it clear that "family" was just the legal cover.“I was never called by my name,” he continued. My chest tightened; the room felt suddenly smaller. “No letters. No phone calls. No contact.”Silence spread through the room like a cold front.“If I tried to ask…” His voice hardened, the first crack in the ice. “I was beaten.”No one moved. No one interrupted. We weren't just listening to a story; we were hearing the internal workings of the ring.“I was made to clean. To work. Small jobs, they said. To earn

    Amber POVWe arrived at the base , the ride was silent, you could feel the tension in the air. The base was under heavier security than before. Gates opened in stages, checkpoints doubled, armed guards posted at every entrance. Whatever had begun in that courtroom had already changed the atmosphere here.John Stait got out of the car, and after speaking with the guards for a few minutes we were in.Now i got why he said we had to ride with him.Emory Watson met us personally at the entrance, he just showed the guard his intelligence ID and he was in. Without ceremony, Mr. Stait handed Jason and me high-clearance access badges. Mine still smelled like fresh laminate. Jason glanced at his, then clipped it on without comment.Emory Watson received a regular clearance pass.That made Jason smirk.It was small, quick, and deeply satisfied.There was definitely something going on between those two. Some silent rivalry made entirely of professional pride and mutual irritation. Watching Jaso

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Safety

    Amber POVI looked at Emory Watson carefully.He was controlled in the way only people used to carrying ugly truths ever were. No wasted movements. No unnecessary promises. No attempt to charm us into agreement. That, at least, I respected.So I asked the only question that mattered.“Can you guarantee our safety?”My voice did not shake.“Ours,” I clarified, “and our family’s.”Jason went still beside me. John Stait looked away first.Emory did not. He met my eyes directly and answered without hesitation.“No.”The word hit harder because it was honest.“We cannot guarantee anything.”A pause. Then, quieter—“But we will do our absolute best to make sure nothing happens to you.”Not comforting. Not polished. Real.I valued that more than reassurance.Emory glanced down the corridor once before continuing.“The threat has escalated.”Every instinct in me sharpened.“What changed?” I asked.He looked from me to Jason. Then back again.“I do not believe the Becker family was ever truly

I traced what they stole, what they copied, and which secrets they sold.”Amber stepped closer.“I also included a list of men and women, heirs from minor houses, who were taken hostage by the Beckers. Children used as levera

    By day ten, my company was officially operational. Contracts were signed. Staff were onboarded. Security systems were fully integrated. The only position left to fill was my assistant. And that, somehow, felt like the most dangerous decision of all.

    Once again, we were awakened by loud knocking at our door. Not hesitant. Not polite. Insistent. Jason was already sitting up before I fully opened my eyes. “I’ll get it,” he said quietly. I pushed myself upright, heart racing, and reached blindly for my phone on the nightstand. 7:02 a.m. Wh

    As Jason gently woke Alex, I noticed something that made my spine straighten. Ms. Patric was holding a small recording device. Not just a tablet. A separate recorder. She turned it in her hand casually, but I saw the red indicator light. Without drawing attention to myself, I reached into the
