  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 69: The Deal

    By eight-thirty the following morning, Amy was already seated in the executive conference room at Diamond Groups.She had arrived twenty minutes early, partly because she refused to give her father the satisfaction of watching her rush into a meeting, and partly because she needed those twenty minutes to steady herself. This was different from every other meeting she had attended with Zack Armstrong. She wasn't entering as his daughter. She wasn't there to ask for his approval or defend her decision to work for Zion Groups. She was there because she had developed a proposal that could determine the future of two of the largest companies in the country.The room was almost identical to how she remembered it from childhood visits to her father's office: dark wood, floor-to-ceiling windows, a long polished table surrounded by leather chairs, and the Diamond Groups em

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 68: My Equal

    The first thing Amy noticed when the elevator doors opened was the silence.Not the comfortable kind.The kind that happened when a room full of people had been talking about you seconds earlier and suddenly remembered you could hear them.She stepped out beside Zion and kept her expression composed.The executive floor of Zion Groups had always felt intimidating, even when she worked there. The polished marble, glass offices, carefully dressed executives and assistants moving with purposeful efficiency had once made her feel as though she had walked into a world she had no right to enter.That morning, however, something had changed.Perhaps it was her.

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 67 — Choosing You

    The drive back to the city was quieter than the one that had brought them to the lake house.Amy sat in the passenger seat, her hands folded loosely in her lap, staring through the window without really seeing anything. The city gradually replaced the quiet landscape outside, buildings rising higher, traffic becoming heavier, horns filling the spaces between thoughts. Yet none of it seemed capable of reaching her.Her mother's last words continued to echo in her mind.Don't trust your father.Amy had spent twenty-one years believing she understood the people who had raised her. Perhaps not perfectly, but enough to know where she stood with them. Her father was demanding. Her mother was difficult. Her grandfather had been stern but loving. That was the story she had carried with her.Now every memory seemed to have a question attached to it.She turned her face toward Zion.He was driving with both hands on the steering wheel, his jaw tight, his eyes fixed on the road."You haven't sai

    I had walked into intimidating rooms before.Boardrooms filled with executives who thought they knew more than me.Meetings where my last name spoke before I did.But nothing prepared me for this.Zion Petrakis didn’t just sit behind his desk.He owned the space.The room was too quiet, too bright,

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 4: Zion (POV)

    Nobody spoke when Zion Petrakis walked through the executive floor.Not because they weren’t allowed to.Because his presence demanded silence naturally.The sharp sound of his shoes echoed against the polished black floors as employees quickly moved out of his path.Some nodded respectfully.Others

    Amy stared at the rejection email on her laptop and laughed bitterly.“Unfortunately, we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate.”Again.She slammed the laptop shut and dropped back onto her couch with frustration.The apartment around her was small compared to the Armstrong mansion, but

  • Black Coffee With No Sugar   Chapter 2: The Weight of Expectations

    Amy threw her heels across the room the second her bedroom door slammed shut behind her.One landed near the vanity.The other hit the wall.“Perfect,” she muttered bitterly.She loosened the collar of her blouse and stared at herself in the mirror.Calm face.Perfect hair.Controlled expression.Ex
