And so Wendy stood outside Leila's small home, her hand shaking a little as she raised it to knock on the door; but it opened before she could do that, and there stood Leila, her eyes wide with surprise and a touch of wariness.

" Wendy," Leila said quietly, flicking a quick look down at Sabrina, who was at play on the floor of the living room playing with a doll. "Leila, I… I came uninvited," Wendy's voice quivered as she clutched her purse tightly, her knuckles white."I just… I need to talk to you both."

Leila hesitated but nodded, stepping back to let Wendy inside. Wendy looked at Sabrina, who looked up before quickly returning to her doll, her face expressionless, almost guarded.

"Thank you, Leila." Wendy gently spoke, her voice almost a whisper as she settled on the edge of the couch. It was a small, simple space, so different from the life she was used to. It no longer mattered to her now though.She was here for something that money couldn't give back to her.

    The photo seared itself into her brain like fire—two wine glasses on a table on the top floor and a flash of a green silk cuff that belonged to no one she knew. She took a close-up again, hoping it would be a lie. Hoping if she stared hard enough it would tell her there was some error, some explanation.It was Eva Ross.She knew it.And JM Reese was standing right next to her.Jenny shook in her hands and gripped her phone tightly, her breathing a series of sharp gasps. Her chest was tightening, the crushing betrayal closing up her ribs."No," she muttered, to herself. "No, he would not. he would never do this to me."And yet he had.He was doing it right now.He hadn't texted.He hadn't called.But he'd had time to wine and dine the daughter of the competing firm.And now, he didn't even try to hide it anymore.Her tears blurred at the edges of her vision, but she fought them back. She pressed the tip of her thumb on the screen and dialed Call.Calling: JM Reese.It rang once.Twice.

    In the meantime.JM Reese removed the cuff of his designer top as he emerged from the black Mercedes, rain-scented Singapore air sprinkling down on him. Skyscrapers loomed overhead like a thousand critical eyes, stern and unyielding. The restaurant at the top before him was off-limits territory—chandeliers, glistening glass, and power-juiced rumor. It was a restaurant that did not so much offer dinner—it offered power.He instinctively checked his phone.1 unread message.Jenny White.His thumb hesitated for a moment. Her name was gentle, warm, secure, on the screen.But he didn't open it.Not tonight.JM pushed the phone far into his pocket and stood up straight, smiling as the man he was supposed to be. "Reese. Party of two," he said to the hostess by the door."Right this way, sir. Miss Ross is waiting."Of course she did. Eva's Ross never waited for anyone, but this time she did make an exception. And even that felt risky.She sat at a table toward the edge of the terrace, gazing

    She had messaged him daily and hadn't received a response from him for hours. The sort of response one would receive when he was busy or stuck in a series of meetings.Jenny gritted her teeth and put down the phone. She was not going to continue like this. She was not going to continue second-guessing everything he did, every silence. Thoughts began racing off in her head. Was he keeping something from her? Or was there simply a streak of bad luck? Either way, the doubt had crept in, and now it would not cease.In the back of town, JM Reese sat frowning at his phone. His thoughts weren't on the reports to be perused or on the board meeting just around the corner. Neither were they on the work emails that poured into his inbox. His thoughts were on something—and only something: Eva Ross.Eva's father was a competitor in the same business sector his company was competing against. He'd seen her in snatches over the past few weeks at a ball, danced her out. As soon as he saw her for the f

    Saben's phone rang out across the level expanse of his desk, its gentle ring snapping him out of concentration as he read reports. His gaze dropped to the screen to see Jenny's name flash on the screen. A sudden frown creased his lips as he revealed the message.We’ll talk. But don’t expect me to just roll over and play nice. I’ve got work to do, and I’m done being your target.Saben couldn't suppress the snort that had escaped his lips. There it was again—her conviction, her passion. It was almost exciting, all right. Most anyone would have been surprised by him, but Jenny. No, she wasn't among them. She didn't take a step back from standing up to him with his bulls, for herself. And for some reason, that made her that much more fascinating.He read her words again, but more slowly. She was furious, outraged—in between he could feel tension. But there was something else, too. Something unexplainable. Challenge. Challenge that he'd not even known he'd been wishing for.For a second, S

    Hours afterward, after banter and teasing with his family had faded into the gentle hum of the estate at dusk, Saben was alone in the stillness of the living room, pacing before the large fireplace. The estate was vacant now, apart from staff who labored quietly behind the scenes. His head was reeling—images of Jenny bursting on him like lightning flashes, not to be shunned.He paced, pushing a hand through his hair in frustration.Why did she always linger in his thoughts?He couldn't deny the attraction between them, the way she had him torn between two worlds: the icy, detached professional who never allowed his guard to drop, and the man who felt himself irresistibly drawn to the one woman capable of quite possibly losing him.His mind spun back to how she'd attacked him at their last board meeting, the look of fury in her eyes but there'd been something else behind it as well. Something more. Respect? He did not know, but there was. something. different. Teasing.Now all he could

    The sun had only dipped beneath the Thompson Estates when Saben arrived, his sleek black car curling up the winding drive lined with trimmed hedges and white hydrangeas. The estate, ancient and elegant, bore the weight of three generations of power and legacy.Inside, the high-ceilinged living room vibrated with the scent of rosemary roast and soft classical music. Crystal chandeliers cast golden sparkles on waxed marble floors.Benedict Thompson, never slow on his feet even in his navy cashmere sweater, was spinning a wine glass by the fireplace. His wife, Sabrina, reclined on the velvet chaise, as lovely and poised as the CEO she once was.Grandmother Teresa sat beside the bookshelf, reading an old copy of The Art of War, as Leila Auburn, the naughty one of the two grandmothers, adjusted her diamond earrings, smiling.And sitting beside the big chair by the window was Wendy Taylor, great-grandmother at 97, whose entrance still felt like a royal decree. Cane in hand, shawl draped ove
