BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 50: THE UNSEEN HAND
Damian didn’t break the silence after the line went dead. He just sat back, letting the low hum of the air fill the quiet room while his gaze remained anchored to the encrypted readout on his laptop.A rogue originating from the Vantage transactions had routed directly through a physical server stack buried inside Vance Biotech. That wasn’t just an anomaly; it was an impossibility. He knew the building’s network down to the bare copper.He reached for his desk phone, tapping the line to internal security.“Give me the exact signature on that stack.”“We’re still mapping the trace, sir,” the analyst’s voice came through, edging with static strain. “The signal was bounced through subnets before it hit the floor unit.”“Then trace it faster,” Damian said, his tone dropping an octave. “I want the physical junction box identified within the hour.”“Yes, sir. Right away.”Damian ended the call with a deliberate click, as he leaned back into the leather of his chair. The pieces of the past f
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 49: THE VANTAGE DEAL
“Ms Moretti, we have a situation.”Lyra’s fingers hovered for a fraction above the glass display of her secure terminal. She lifted her head, her gaze cutting across the dimly lit executive suite like a blade. “Define situation.”Her financial director’s voice spilt through the encrypted line, thin and tight with suppressed panic. “Damian’s restructuring team just broke the protocol. They aren’t waiting for the morning session; they are moving in Vantage right now.”The silence in the room suddenly felt suffocating. Lyra’s eyes shifted toward the floor-to-ceiling window where Hayden leaned against the frame. He was already staring at her; he didn’t look surprised; he looked ready.“What’s our hold?” she asked, her tone dropping into that quiet register that signalled absolute control.“If they bypass the regulatory hold? Less than forty- five minutes, maybe thirty.”A small, dangerous smile touched the corner of Lyra’s mouth. She looked down at the blue light reflecting off the docume
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 48: TOGETHER
“Hayden… what did you do to Damian?”The question lingered in the quiet office, heavy with months of unspoken fears.Hayden stood completely still beside the mahogany desk. For the first time since their alliance began, he didn’t search for a clever deflection, nor did he hide behind the protective shield he usually built around her.He looked directly into her eyes, raw and unguarded, and he said, “I lied to him.”Lyra’s heart tightened, a familiar ache blooming in her chest. “What do you mean?”“You remember I told you Damian stole something critical from my company,” Hayden said, his voice measured but with heavy old bitterness. “I wanted him ruined for it. But then my investigation crossed paths with you; I discovered you’re connected to him.”“My connection?” she repeated, taking a half step back.“I learned what he had done to you,” he said softly. “What he had done to you. What he had tried to take from you, and how he had left you to die.”Lyra’s expression hardened, her jaw
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 47: THE TRUTH HE COULDN'T HIDE
Ashley stared at the screen outside the private elevator; her fingers tightened around her phone.TOMORROW, HE WILL FIND OUT. ALL THE BEST.A single message had never paralysed her like this. A few steps ahead stood Damian; he knew nothing about the messages, the horror threats she had endured, and certainly nothing about the confession she was set to make.Tomorrow, she would lay it all bare. But as the elevator doors slid open, a colder realisation took hold of Ashley: whoever was sending the threats already knew. Ashley slipped the phone into her purse, and she stepped inside. Neither of them noticed the figure standing at the far end of the corridor, watching them vanish.Ashley barely slept. By morning, their anniversary felt like a distant memory. She walked into the kitchen to find Damian fully dressed; the coffee beside him was untouched.His gaze snapped to her immediately. “You didn’t sleep.”“Not really.”He searched her face. “Did something happen last night?”Ashley pulle

Ashley stared down at the screen, watching her skin lose every drop of warmth as the blue light cut through the dark of her clutch.YOU INVITED HER.A second text flashed across the phone before she could blink.NOW WATCH HIM.She didn’t need to ask who she was. Across the terrace, warm lanterns bounced off heavy to crystal tumblers; Damian’s gaze had locked onto Lyra.It was an instinctive tilt of his chin; the small unthinking gesture he reserves only for something he couldn’t control. Ashley snapped her phone locked and slid it deep into the satin lining of her bag.“Not tonight,” she whispered.Tonight belonged to her. It was their anniversary, and she refused to let an anonymous shadow tear her down on what had taken her years to build.Hours earlier, the silence of their bedroom had felt different. But today Ashley stood before the floor-to -ceiling mirror, fastening the diamond clasp of her earring. For the first time in weeks, she had dressed without calculating corporate loss
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 45: WHAT HE KEPT FROM HER
Lyra woke in the quiet dark; her cheek pressed against Hayden’s chest. His breathing was slow and even, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. The heat of his skin was a comforting anchor in the cool room. For a fragile second, she let herself get lost in the intimacy, the faint scent of cedar on his neck, the steady rhythm of his heart, and the quiet affection that always cushioned her when they were like this.She forgot about the envelope on the nightstand. Turning gently in his arms, she rested her forehead against his jaw. Hayden was still asleep, his face unburdened by the quiet tension he carried during the day; he looked peaceful.She traced the line of his collarbone with a soft touch; a quiet smile touched her lips, then her eyes drifted past his shoulder, warmth in her chest withered, and then she saw the sealed envelope had remained where she’d left it.Richard Vance.Her father’s death had dictated every decision, every sacrifice, and every dark road she had taken sin
