Beg no more married to his enemy chapter 87
Chapter 87Elena’s POVThe air inside the grand hotel lobby was cool, scented with expensive white tea and polished marble, but the chill cutting through my chest had nothing to do with the air conditioning.I didn't take the elevator. I walked straight across the expansive ground floor, my heels clicking sharply against the polished stone tiles, my eyes scanning the high-end lounge tucked just past the concierge desk. The space was half-empty this time of day, filled with low-slung velvet chairs, dark mahogany tables, and secluded private booths separated by frosted glass panels.It didn't take long to find them.In a corner booth near the back, half-hidden by a decorative pillar, sat Carter. Across from him, leaning in close with her elbows propped casually on the table, was Vanessa. She wore her immaculate cream trench coat draped over the back of the seat, her dark hair catching the warm glow of the brass wall sconces.I stopped dead in my tracks a dozen feet away, the breat

Chapter 86Damian’s POVThe leather upholstery of the private booth in the Midtown lounge absorbed the low murmur of the jazz playing through the ceiling speakers, but it didn't do a damn thing to soak up the tension sitting across from me.I set my glass of scotch down on the mahogany table, the amber liquid sloshing against the crystal rim. Across the table, Chloe adjusted the sleeves of her tailored blazer, her eyes fixed on the entrance of the lobby."She's late," Chloe said, her voice dropping into a dry, flat register. "If Vanessa doesn't secure Carter’s digital signature on the secondary authorization forms before the label's legal team triggers a full system audit, our window on the winter rollout closes by noon.""Relax," I said, leaning back into the cushions and crossing my legs. "Vanessa doesn't miss. She spent ten years building a reputation for cleaning up corporate messes in Chicago before I brought her onto this payroll. Getting a distracted, guilt-ridden executiv

Chapter 85Elena’s POVThe silence that followed stretched out across the hallway, heavy and suffocating. Carter didn't pull out his phone. He didn't offer a compromise, a password, or a soothing word to bridge the gap. He simply stood there, his hands still dropped to his sides, staring at me as if the woman standing in front of him had suddenly turned into a stranger."I'm going to the office," Carter said, his voice flat, drained of every ounce of warmth or inflection. He didn't wait for me to answer. He turned on his heel, walked past me down the corridor toward the guest study, and shut the door behind him with a quiet, final click.I didn't follow him. I stood frozen in the center of the hallway for a long time, listening to the muffled sounds of movement coming from behind the closed guest room door—the zip of a duffel bag, the heavy thud of shoes hitting the floor, the rustle of clothes being pulled from hangers.He was leaving. Not because he had an urgent meeting at the

Chapter 84Elena’s POVThe heavy oak door of the home office swung wide, but I didn't wait to see if Carter was following me. My heels hit the hallway tiles with sharp, rhythmic strikes as I walked toward the master suite. The air in the penthouse felt thin, stripped of oxygen, heavy with the sharp metallic scent of impending ruin.Ten minutes ago, we were a powerhouse label managing a multi-million-dollar winter rollout. Now, we were standing on opposite sides of a fault line, staring across a chasm that grew wider with every passing second.Footsteps rushed up behind me, heavy and uneven. Carter caught up before I could reach the bedroom threshold, his hand shooting out to grip my wrist, spinning me around to face him."Stop walking away from me, Elena," Carter demanded, his voice thick with a mixture of raw panic and rising fury. "We are not finishing this conversation by you retreating into another room like you're locking out an employee."I yanked my arm out of his grip, s

Chapter 83Elena’s POVThe digital footprint on the server log was clean, clinical, and devastating.I stood behind the console in my private home office, the glow of two dual monitors casting a sharp blue light across my face. Carter stood on the other side of the desk, his hands braced against the wood, staring down at the screen as if a physical weapon were pointed at him."The export IP address matches the public Wi-Fi router at the café downtown," I said, my voice entirely stripped of emotion. "The timestamp matches the exact window you were helping Vanessa carry her blueprints across the room. Your credentials were logged in the active session, Carter.""I told you, my laptop was zipped up in my bag," Carter muttered, his voice tightening as panic clawed its way into his tone. He reached out, pointing a finger at the screen. "Someone must have shoulder-surfed my password or spoofed the connection while I was away from the table for ninety seconds. You know how these public
