Barren Luna Returns As A Powerful CEO With A Hidden Heir Chapter 29
CHAPTER 29CALISTAI thought leaving the inspection facility would make it easier to put Kieran out of my mind, but apparently, my body hadn't received that instruction.The journey back to the city had been uncomfortable enough, and even after returning to my apartment, I found myself remembering the moment he'd caught me. It had only lasted a few seconds, but those few seconds had been enough to awaken feelings I'd spent five years trying to bury. I could still remember the way his arm had held me, how close we'd been, and the strange warmth that had spread through me before I'd managed to pull away.It was ridiculous. I'd known who he was from the moment I walked into that first meeting, and I'd understood the risks of working with him. Yet somehow, I'd allowed myself to become comfortable enough around him to forget how dangerous that closeness could be.The mate bond had never completely disappeared. I'd hoped that time and distance would weaken it, that eventually, my body would

CHAPTER 28KIERANI hadn't expected the journey to the distribution facilities to be particularly interesting, but travelling with Vivienne turned out to be different from sitting across a conference table from her. Without the executives, the legal representatives, and the constant need to defend their respective companies' interests, our conversations were easier. She still maintained a certain distance, but I was beginning to understand that it wasn't necessarily because she disliked me. She simply seemed accustomed to keeping people at arm's length.She sat beside me in the back of the car, reviewing the inspection schedule on her tablet while Brian handled a few calls in the front passenger seat. Every now and then, she'd make a note or return to a previous page to check something. I eventually asked whether she'd visited the facility before, and she explained that she'd inspected similar distribution centres in other regions but preferred to see the actual operations rather than

CHAPTER 27CALISTASelena's final words stayed with me longer than I wanted them to.I'd dismissed her explanation as an attempt to shift the blame, but there was something about the way she'd said it that I couldn't entirely ignore. Someone had encouraged her to question me, someone who apparently knew things about CALIX's history that she didn't. It might have been nothing more than an excuse from a woman who'd just lost her position, but I couldn't forget that our restricted archive had recently been accessed by someone without my knowledge.I sat behind my desk, looking at the security report Amara had brought me earlier. The access hadn't been accidental, and whoever had entered the archive had known exactly what they were looking for. I still had no idea whether the incident was connected to Selena or whether someone was deliberately trying to draw my attention away from something else.When Amara returned to my office, I handed her the report.“I want you to keep an eye on this

CHAPTER 26CALISTAI knew Selena was preparing for something long before the first complaint reached my desk.For the past few days, she'd been unusually cooperative during meetings, which was almost more suspicious than her previous attempts to challenge my decisions. She'd stopped questioning every instruction in front of the other executives and had begun sending carefully worded emails about operational concerns, always making sure to copy the relevant department heads. Anyone who didn't know her would have assumed she'd finally accepted my authority. I knew better. Selena wasn't the type to abandon a disagreement simply because she'd failed to win it.Unfortunately, I hadn't expected her next move to involve one of our most important commercial opportunities.The message came from the head of international partnerships shortly after nine in the morning. Westbridge Logistics had suddenly suspended its final review of our proposed agreement. My hardwork of months down the drain.Th

CHAPTER 25KIERANI yawned and got into bed tired when suddenly Brielle came out of the bathroom.She'd changed into one of the silk nightdresses she usually wore when she wanted my attention, and she didn't bother hiding her intentions as she crossed the room. I'd been going through a few documents on my tablet, but I set it aside when she climbed onto the bed beside me.“You're still working?” she asked, reaching for my tablet.“Just finishing something.”“You've been saying that for days.”I didn't argue. She placed the tablet on the bedside table and moved closer, resting a hand against my chest. Her fingers slipped beneath the collar of my shirt as she leaned in to kiss me. I allowed it at first, mostly because I didn't want another argument about how little time I spent with her, but when she tried to deepen the kiss, I gently caught her wrist and moved her hand away.“Brielle, not tonight.”She didn't move immediately. “What's wrong?”“Nothing's wrong. I'm just tired.”“You're

Chapter 24 KIERANI was walking through the administrative wing when one of the guards fell into step beside me, carrying a thin folder."Alpha, this is what you asked for."I slowed down and took the folder from him. "The old records?""Yes, sir. Brian asked the archives department to gather everything relating to Ronan's birth and the arrangements made during the first few months after he was born. These are the copies they could locate.""Where are the originals?""Still in the archives. Some of the older documents are being checked because the records aren't organized properly."I nodded and continued toward my office. I'd requested the documents two days earlier, after noticing a few inconsistencies in the information Brian had gathered about the pack's early arrangements for Ronan. At first, I'd assumed the discrepancies were ordinary administrative mistakes. Our records department had changed personnel several times over the years, and some documents had been transferred betwe
