Sophia’s povThe waves lapped gently against the shore, a steady rhythm that echoed the slow calming of my heart. It had only been twenty-four hours since we landed, but already I felt the difference. The air was lighter, the pressure on my chest less suffocating. There were no security alerts, no intercepted messages, no screams in the middle of the night. Just the sound of Lina’s laughter and the distant cry of gulls.I stood barefoot on the wet sand, letting the water rush over my toes. The horizon stretched out endlessly, like a promise I hadn’t dared believe in until now. Behind me, Alex and Lina were building a sandcastle with a level of dedication that made me smile. She had a pink bucket clutched in her tiny hands and was directing her father like a commander on the battlefield.“You’re not packing it tight enough!” she scolded him, pouting.Alex raised his eyebrows and looked over at me helplessly. “Tough crowd.”I laughed and walked over, crouching beside them. “She gets it

Sophia’s povA Lot was going on and I wanted to give up but for the sake of my unborn child and my daughter, Lina, I couldn't. I hadn't seen Lina in days now as I was busy playing attack and defence with Nathan. A glass of wine dangled freely in my hands, I looked at the bottle and I knew that this won't get me through this day.I stretched my hands out to put more wine in my glass and the bottle of wine was snatched out of my hands. I looked up to see a very pissed off Alex staring at me.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” My brows raised in question, “hmmm, drinking?” I replied and he looked at me like I had grown two heads, his eyes snapped to the bottle and the back to me.“Did you finish this entire bottle?” I nodded “SOPHIA!” he screamed “WHAT?” I screamed back and that's when I knew I was tipsy.“For fuck sake, do not tell me you forgot that you are pregenat?” Alex scolded me and me and my eyes widened in surprise.“oh, my godness, oh my goodness!” I turned to alex

Nathan’s POVI didn’t sleep.Not because I couldn’t. Because I refused.Sleep was for the uncertain. For people who thought tomorrow would bring clarity or peace. But I wasn’t one of them. I lived in the present—always watching, always recalculating. And tonight, as the air grew thick with fallout, I sat in silence and reviewed every thread of the trap I was tightening.Across the screen, the world kept burning in real-time. Markets adjusted. Executives panicked. Politicians postured. And beneath it all, the real work happened: whispers became rumors, rumors became doubt, and doubt... well, doubt had a way of eating even the most righteous from the inside out.Sophia’s rebellion was the spark.Mine would be the blaze.The intercom cracked softly. “Cassandra has completed the first contact.”“Details,” I said, my voice flat.“She reached Alex. A casual run-in. Parking garage, as projected. No threats. Just a suggestion. She asked about Prague.”I smiled to myself. That was all it took.

Nathan’s POVThey think I’m cornered.That’s the problem with amateurs—no matter how many weapons they acquire or secrets they expose, they never understand the long game. They confuse exposure for power. They think truth wins.It doesn’t. Control does. And I’ve never let go of mine.I sat alone in the underground control room, walls lined with mirrored screens that showed news feeds, surveillance footage, and a real-time map of global influence. Markets were shifting. Allies were scattering. Carter Global stock was bleeding out in headlines and hashtags. But all I could feel was clarity.Sophia Moretti had forced my hand. She’d drawn blood And now it was my turn.The moment she released that first leak, I knew she had crossed a threshold she wouldn’t return from. She wanted war—fine. But she didn’t understand what it meant to go to war with someone like me. Someone who built his kingdom not on visibility, but on obscurity. While she played queen in a tower, I built an empire beneath

Sophia’s POVThere was something chilling about hearing your enemy articulate your weaknesses like he’d studied them under a microscope.“She’s emotional. All I have to do is isolate her, discredit her support system…”His voice echoed in my head like static behind every thought. Calculated. Detached. Certain. He wasn’t guessing; he knew. He’d been planning this long before our paths crossed publicly.I stood at the edge of our penthouse balcony, wind curling around my shoulders, city lights stretching beneath me like a vast, breathing organism. Somewhere out there, Nathan Carter was watching, waiting for us to flinch. But I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.Alex stepped beside me. “Julian’s in place. The files will drop at 6 a.m. sharp—across three continents, twenty-four platforms. No one will be able to stop the spread.”“Good,” I said, voice tight. “Now we wait.”But waiting felt like surrender, so I turned from the balcony and went back inside. My heels clicked on the ma

Alex’s POVI’ve seen Sophia angry before. I’ve seen her wreck boardrooms with nothing but words and burn bridges just to make a statement. But I’ve never seen her like this—focused, furious, and dangerous in a way that made my heart pound with something between awe and fear.And I loved her more for it.She was right—we were done playing defense. Nathan had drawn first blood, but the game wasn’t over not by a long shot.After everyone left and the house finally went still, I stood by the window where that picture had been taken. I stared into the night, trying to see something—someone—but all I saw was the glint of streetlights on parked cars.He was close, watching and that meant we had a shot.I pulled out my burner phone, the one Sophia didn’t know about. Not because I was keeping secrets from her, but because there were parts of my past—dark, strategic parts—that weren’t built for sharing. She fought clean, even when she fought hard. I didn’t have that luxury.I dialed a number fr

Sophia’s Pov“What just happened? How did we go from beating that snake to almost losing?” I screamed so loud until my voice could be heard outside. Alex, Mark and Julian stared back at me like I had grown horns. “Babe, let's be calm, we haven't lost yet.” Alex tried to calm me down but I was not having it. This was not fair, that monster should be in jail.“We just need to go restrategize” Mark said, obviously trying to calm me down.“Hmm, I don't think this is what is important at the moment.” Julian said out loud, we turned to him to see him staring at his phone.“Why is that?” He passed the phone to us and our eyes widened in shock. Our eyes turned to Mark, I could see him swallowing hard.“shit! They are trying to discredit Mark. This would affect us on friday.” I lamented. “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON” “Julian, get those down, now!” Alex halved yelledJulian looked at him confused, “how? This everywhere at the moment”“I don't care how, just do it.”Julian shrugged and moved ou

Nathan's POVThe morning sun filtered through the blinds of my office, casting long shadows across the room. I sat at my desk, the remnants of last night's chaos still evident in the scattered papers and the shattered phone screen. The silence was deafening, a stark contrast to the storm brewing within me.I leaned back in my chair, fingers steepled under my chin, contemplating the next move. The board meeting was in two days, and the court appearance loomed ominously on the horizon. Sophia and Alex had played their hand, but they underestimated me. They always did.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. Chloe entered, her expression unreadable. She placed a fresh cup of coffee on my desk and took a seat across from me."We need to talk," she said, her tone serious.I raised an eyebrow. "About?""The board. I've been reaching out to some of the members. There's a split. Some are leaning towards Alex, especially with the allegations against you."I scoffed. "They wouldn't dare.""Don't

Nathan’s pov The board meeting was over but I had a silly smile on my face. I walked to my office with a silly smirk on my face. I passed by Sophia and Alex my stupid ass brother. If looks could kill I would be on the floor right now but I had no intention of actually looking at their disgusting faces. Sophi had gone to date my brother, keeping me away from my daughter and I wanted all of them to burn in hell for it.I sat down in my office when Evans walked into the office with Tony, Evans had a serious scowl on his face.“What's with everyone scowling? Is this not what we planned?”“No!” Evans yelled at me like a child but it didn't matter.The burst open and Chole walked in and her face spelled worry. She walked up to me with a ‘are you okay’ look.“What the hell is going on? I go on vacation for a week and you are trending to be suspended and you are being investigated for attempted murder?” Chloe looked from me to evans and tony–who really look like he did not give a shit about
