Rhea's Pov

Three weeks later and there was not a single explosion. There was no scandal, no setbacks apart from work. It had been quiet which was shocking.

It seemed like Ginny and Kevin had disappeared from the public eye. Rumors swirled, but none stuck. Perhaps they were regrouping. Perhaps they were licking their wounds. Or perhaps, if I was lucky, they were finally smart enough to accept defeat. But that was very unlikely.

In the meantime, I had more pressing matters to deal with. Namely: the company.

And school.

Balancing both was like juggling flaming knives while riding a unicycle across a tightrope. Over shark-infested waters and blindfolded.

At first, it had seemed simple enough. Show up. Be in charge, make smart decisions. Fire idiots. Impress investors. But reality laughed in my face. Running a business, especially one as large and entangled as Thorne International, was not for the weak.

    Alaric's Pov The sound of pen scribbling on paper was the only thing that I could hear, the entire office was as quiet as a grave. My desk was a battlefield, scattered with files, reports from the Singapore branch, a pending contract with another company, and another confidential one marked with a blood-red seal from my father's estate. All of them were urgent. All of them demanded my attention.Yet my mind kept drifting to her. Rhea.It was strange, how often she had started showing up in my thoughts. During meetings. Over lunch. Even while reviewing mergers. It wasn’t something I could control. It just happened. Though it was to be expected, after all, I had always loved her. Her sharp tongue. Her stubborn fire. The way she stood her ground like she was made of steel and thunder. I had watched her shift from a shattered woman into a weapon, and now? She was forging her own empire. She didn’t even realize how radiant she’d become.A small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop

    Rhea's Pov Taking a step out of the meeting room was like a breath of fresh air. I didn't miss the looks that were sent my way, a lot of the employees must have seen the other men forcefully taken out of the company.“Fiona.” I turned to her, pressing a hand against my forehead. “Yes ma'am.” “Ask all the employees to gather in the hall, I want to address them about today's matters. I don't want them to be in the dark about it. Once you are done, inform me so I will come over.” “I understand.” Fiona nodded, bowed and left, the soft sound of her heels clicking on the floor echoed along with her disappearing back. Without another word, I headed to my office and plopped down the chair, then smacked my head on the table. “Ugh…” I groaned, “I'm so tired.” Was this how Alaric worked day and night in order to ensure that his company was thriving? Now I get why although he was handsome, he didn't have a scandal with any woman in my last life. He just didn't have enough time to start galli

    Rhea's Pov The entire boardroom froze as the two handcuffed men stumbled inside, their clothes disheveled, faces sweaty with desperation and fear. I watched the blood drain from Mr. Rutherford’s face as he locked eyes with them.His reaction told me everything I needed to know. He knew them, but he was going to pretend he didn’t. Just as I expected.“What is the meaning of this?” He snapped, his voice shaking with poorly masked rage.The two men dropped to their knees in front of him.“Mr. Rutherford, please.” The shorter one sobbed, “You said if anything happened, you’d protect us. You said everything would be fine!”Rutherford drew back, blinking in feigned confusion, “What on earth are you talking about? I’ve never seen these men in my life. Miss Thorne, I think you’ve been deceived.”I leaned back in my chair and crossed my legs, watching the show unfold with cool amusement.“Take them away.” Rutherford barked toward the officers, anger seeping into his voice, “They’re clearly he

    Rhea's Pov “I'll be letting go of a few people right here and right now.” I announced with a closed eye smile. My words landed like thunder, cracking across the smooth surface of their arrogance. The air in the boardroom shifted. It started with the usual, the murmurs, the scoffs, the huffed laughter of those who thought I was bluffing. That I was playing dress-up in my father’s empire. That I didn’t have the teeth to bite. They were wrong. “Letting go of people?” Mr. Dennis scoffed, his voice dripping with disbelief, “And what right do you think you have to make such calls?” Mr Rutherford started, “Miss Thorne, you are new here so you may not know. Most of the employees you're seeing here are employees who have been working in this company a few years or even months after it was created. We are all old here, so there's no way that…” “I’m the CEO.” I answered, my voice sharp but calm, like the edge of a scalpel, “And with full authority granted by the board’s emergency c

    Rhea's Pov“Who do you think he is?” I whispered, my voice barely above the wind.Alaric exhaled slowly, his jaw clenched, “I have no idea. But I intend to find out.” He turned to me then, his gaze steady, “He doesn't seem like a petty criminal, Rhea. He’s someone powerful and dangerous.”I nodded faintly, my throat dry, “You don't need to tell me that.” Everything about that man felt wrong, the way he talked, the way he moved, even the calm in his voice when he said he killed someone. My skin was still crawling. Without saying a word, I stepped forward toward the hedges, something inside me urging me to check, to see if the man had been bluffing or not. Alaric followed close behind.“Rhea, what are you doing?” He asked cautiously.“He said he killed the person I was following.” I murmured, pushing aside some overgrown bushes with the side of my leg, “I need to know if it’s true. I need to see.”“Be careful.”I nodded, my heart hammering, and kept walking. The flashlight on Alari
