Zachary’s POV

The minute I dropped down from the car, I started to my room, exhausted and drunk.

I got into my apartment and headed into the bathroom to pour water over my face.

As I stood over the sink while looking at my reflection, all I could think about was the way I had somehow destroyed my only chance at getting all Amelia’s father had.

The riches they had and everything could have been mine. But somehow, Audrey had gotten married to my brother and ruined everything for me.

I was so

    Amelia’s POV Audrey’s expression didn’t change. She was as composed as ever, but I could see the flicker of annoyance in her eyes. “That’s exactly the problem, Amelia. You don’t care. You’ve been handed this opportunity, and you’re treating it like a game. This is a business, our father’s legacy, and you’re a nuisance to everyone who’s trying to keep it running.” “Spare me the speech, Audrey,” I shot back, standing up straighter and meeting her gaze. “You think you’re the only one who knows how to run this company? You think just because you’ve been here longer, you’re more entitled to everything? I could do just as well as you, if I wanted to. But unlike you, I have other things I’m focused on.” Her eyes narrowed slightly as she crossed her arms, mirroring my stance. “Is that what you tell yourself? That you could be in charge if you actually cared enough to try? The truth is, Amelia, you’ve never had to work for anything in your life. You think everything will just fall into you

    Amelia’s POV Claire chuckled, crossing her arms in return as she leaned against the counter. “That little confrontation was part of the plan. You’re new here, Amelia. If you walked into the boardroom acting like you owned the place from day one, they’d all turn against you. You don’t have the experience, the reputation, or the leverage to pull that off yet. But if we make them think you and I are at odds, that we’re not working together, they’ll lower their guard.” I blinked, momentarily stunned by the shift in her demeanor. “You’re saying you embarrassed me on purpose?” “Embarrassed you? No, no. I created a distraction,” Claire said smoothly. “They’ll see me as someone who’s not on your side, as someone who’s going to challenge you every step of the way. And you? You’ll be seen as someone who’s still figuring things out. It buys us time, Amelia. Time to plan, time to strategize.” I felt the anger bubbling inside me begin to dissipate, replaced by confusion and a begrudging sense

    Audrey’s POV I tried my best to not lose my mind and even when it was failing, I was surely holding back my rage. “Amelia,” I said in a firm but measured voice, “this is not just about profits or benefits. It’s about staying true to the company’s direction. Merging with other companies can mess that up.” She rolled her eyes, completely unperturbed by my words. “Oh come on, Audrey. You just fear change. You always have been. But if we want to grow, change is necessary.” I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could, Claire Devereux, one of the board’s most influential members, spoke. “Amelia,” she insisted, eyes narrowing in Amelia’s way, “this is no time for small talk. If you want to contribute to this conversation, I suggest you take it seriously.” I appreciated Claire’s intervention, but Amelia didn’t back down. Instead, she turned her attention to Claire, her face hardened. “And who are you to tell me what to do?” Amelia replied, contempt flowing through her voice. “You’r

    Amelia’s POV Claire’s eyes flickered with something—interest, perhaps. “Ah, so this isn’t just about the company.” I narrowed my eyes at her. “It’s about my life. My future. I’m not going to let her take everything from me.” “What are you talking about? You seem to be having more of a personal strife.” I sighed. “How about you leave me alone to help myself in this shithole? How about that?” Claire moved closer, her heels clicking softly against the floor. She stopped just a few feet away from me, her eyes studying me intently. “Amelia, let me give you some advice. In this world, no one gives you anything. You have to take it.” Her words hung in the air between us, and for a moment, I wasn’t sure what to make of her. She was a board member, part of the establishment that I despised, but there was something about her that intrigued me. She wasn’t like the others. She wasn’t here to coddle me or play nice. She was telling me exactly what I wanted to hear. It was almost like she w

    Amelia’s POV Audrey did her best to remain silent as she riffed through the papers they gave her to hold. “You know, in this company there are policies that simply cannot be taken lightly and this requires someone who actually knows what they are doing.” Her whole focus was on me now, her lips clenched in irritation as she pushed away from the desk. She walked to where my legs reclined on a polished wooden surface, said nothing, and booted my feet off her desk. I don’t think I had a chance to do anything before my legs were dangling at the armrest of the chair, and my body was shaking from where she thrust it. “Well Amelia, what do you demand?” she asked me without hiding her irritation and the royal dislike expressed in her voice. I smiled and thought of the best witty remark to say in return which I never did because I was struck by the realization that I was now fully immersed in this stupid job. “Say that again? Well, good morning to you too, sis.” Thus she folded her arms

    Audrey’s POV He pulled back after a moment, glancing at the clock on the nightstand. “I hate to leave you, but I’ve got to get to work.” I pouted playfully, pretending to be upset. “Do you really have to go?” After the incident of the other day, I was seeing Xander in a different light. Maybe he wasn’t as terrible as I had made it look. I gave a little sigh as I saw how his body was snuggly fitted in the suit. He looked so CEO ish with how he was dressed. The whiff of his perfume hit my nose as I smiled and inhaled more of him. He laughed, shaking his head. “Unfortunately, yes. But I’ll be home later, and we can spend the evening together. Maybe we can go out to dinner or watch a movie. Whatever you want.” “Okay,” I said, still pouting a little but knowing he had responsibilities to attend to. “I guess I’ll survive without you for a few hours.” “This is so unlike you. You hate me,” he said as I rolled my eyes. “After what happened last night, I might want to change my mind
