Brayden sat in his office, scrolling through the collaboration proposal that had just landed in his inbox. His sharp blue eyes scanned the details, analyzing every aspect of the deal.

On paper, the proposal seemed promising—the fashion company wanted to partner with one of his subsidiary companies to promote their new cosmetic products.

Everything looked standard, but then his eyes caught something that made his breath hitch for just a second.

Penelope Lorenzo.

Brayden’s jaw tightened as he saw her name listed among the representatives from the company handling the marketing aspect of the project.

He had spent the past weeks trying to push her out of his thoughts, convincing himself that she was nothing more than a woman who had worked for him temporarily.

But every time he felt like he was finally moving on, something always brought her back into his life.

Brayden exhaled sharply, shaking his head.

No. He wasn’t going to let this affect him. He d

    Brayden groaned as the sound of his phone vibrating against his nightstand woke him up. He reached out blindly, grabbing the device and squinting at the screen. Multiple notifications flooded his phone—calls, messages, and news alerts, all related to the same topic.He sat up, rubbing a hand over his face before opening one of the news articles. His jaw clenched the moment he read the headline.“Billionaire Brayden Giovanni Chooses Former Lover as Face of New Campaign—Business or Personal?”Brayden’s grip tightened around the phone.What the hell was this?He scrolled through the article, his irritation growing with each line. Reporters were speculating that he had deliberately chosen Penelope as the model for his subsidiary’s campaign, implying that it was a personal decision rather than a business one.His company was now swarming with reporters, all demanding answers.With a frustrated sigh, he immediately dialed the number of his company’s manager.

    Brayden sat in his study, reviewing several reports with a deep frown. The dim lighting cast a shadow over his sharp features as he skimmed through documents, his mind juggling multiple pressing matters. He didn’t look up when a knock sounded at the door.“Come in,” he said, his voice calm but authoritative.Inez entered, moving swiftly but without urgency. She was efficient, as always, her face composed as she strode toward his desk. A flash drive rested in the palm of her hand, which she placed carefully in front of him before taking a seat.“I retrieved some information from the reporter’s computer,” she stated. “I made sure to leave no trace behind. It would be impossible for him to detect any kind of breach of someone going through this stuff in his laptop.”Brayden picked up the flash drive, turning it between his fingers as he studied her. “And what did you find in his laptop?”Inez crossed her legs, her voice crisp and professional. “T

    Penelope stepped out of the taxi and took a deep breath, staring up at the towering glass building in front of her. A sense of pride and accomplishment swelled in her chest as she adjusted her bag and smoothed down her blouse. This was it—the beginning of a new chapter in her life. No longer defined by her past, no longer running. She had worked hard to get here, and today, she was stepping into a future she had built for herself.Walking through the glass doors, she was immediately greeted by a well-dressed receptionist sitting behind a sleek, modern desk.“Good morning! How can I help you?” the woman asked with a warm smile.“I’m Penelope Lorenzo. I’m starting today,” she replied, returning the smile.The receptionist’s eyes lit up with recognition. “Oh, welcome! Mrs. Jenkins has been expecting you. If you follow me, I’ll take you to her office.”Penelope nodded and followed her down a well-lit hallway. Employees walked past them, some engaged in hushed co

    Brayden sat in his office, his fingers drumming impatiently against the mahogany desk. The events of the past few days weighed heavily on his mind, but he couldn’t afford to let emotions cloud his judgment. The interview had gone as planned, but something still felt off. He had expected backlash, expected resistance, but the way things were playing out wasn’t normal.A sharp knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. “Come in,” he called, his voice even.Inez stepped inside, his usual composed demeanor slightly tense. Brayden immediately straightened in his chair, already sensing that whatever his security head had to say wouldn’t be good news.Inez closed the door behind him and stepped closer to the desk. “We have a situation.”Brayden arched an eyebrow. “Go on.”Inez didn’t waste time. “I’ve been keeping a close watch on the reporter, just as you instructed. But something strange is happening.” He paused, as if trying to decide where to begin. “For the pa

    Penelope stood at the front entrance of the villa, her fingers tightening around the handle of her suitcase. The night air was cool against her skin, carrying the faint scent of the ocean. She let her eyes linger on the massive house one last time, committing every detail to memory. The grand structure, the large windows, the perfectly trimmed hedges—it had been her shelter, her prison, and, for a brief moment, her hope.She exhaled sharply. She wasn’t sure what she had expected. Maybe a last-minute plea, maybe Brayden coming after her. But there was nothing. The house stood still, lifeless, as if it had already moved on from her presence.Her feet felt heavy as she stepped forward, dragging her suitcase behind her. She half-expected the guards stationed near the gate to stop her, to question why she was leaving in the middle of the night. But they barely reacted, their expressions neutral, their eyes set straight ahead as though her departure was ju
