Chasing Red Flags Chapter 48
Chapter 48: Forbidden FruitThis was my second time walking into Mr. Aidan Sullivan’s office. But this time, I wasn’t the struggling college kid. I was a man who had built an empire. I walked in with my head high, confident that what I laid on his desk was more than enough to secure his blessing. I wasn’t asking for a handout. I was offering an alliance that would make the Sullivans untouchable for generations.Yet as he read through my proposal, his expression didn’t shift. No surprise. No satisfaction. Just that same stone-cold silence that had haunted me since I was a boy.He leaned back in his chair, heaving a long, weary sigh, and tapped one finger against the documents. Then he looked me dead in the eye."You could make me a king with this, Mr. Smidth," he said, his voice flat and final. "With what you’ve offered, I could buy countries. But my answer is still no."Two letters. One word. And it hit me harder than any rejection I’d ever known. I stood there, speechless, every bit

Chapter 47: Forbidden FruitNothing happened that night. Even if we ever reached her place, I'll stop myself. I wanted her—God, how I wanted her—but I’d waited this long. I wasn’t going to rush. But I wasn’t going to be just another man who took from her and left.For the first time, I saw real emotion in her eyes. Not the mask, not the socialite act. Just her. Pure, unguarded embarrassment when Rose and Saint caught us in the elevator, tangled in each other, breathless and reckless. I’ll never forget how she pushed me away, cheeks burning crimson, lips swollen, eyes darting everywhere but at me.But that fleeting joy shattered the moment Tyler stepped forward—flanked by two police officers.He’d filed a restraining order against me. That same night, her own cousin stood tall and smug, warning me to stay away. To never cross the line again. And he used my past against me. That incident when I was fifteen… the one I’d never regretted.I almost killed him. And I’d do it again in a heart

Chapter 46: The Game of PowerShe stopped letting people call her Avar. From that day forward, she demanded to be called Ava. It happened shortly after her grandmother destroyed the one thing that mattered most—her garden, her sanctuary, and her violin. She burned it all to the ground, right in front of her.It was cruel. Unspeakably cruel.Avar—the girl I knew—died that day. What remained was a woman who walked through life like a porcelain doll: beautiful, untouchable, and hollow inside. She became exactly what the world expected of her. She flaunted the family wealth—designer bags, private jets, front-row seats at every fashion show and gala. She became the ultimate socialite. But no man dared to step too close. Everyone knew the truth—she belonged to someone already. A betrothal made in boardrooms, not hearts. The name had never been announced, but the chains were visible to all.I didn’t care about any of that.My eyes had been on her for years. I’d watched her through every seas

Chapter 45: The Girl Who Owned My HeartThe room hummed with meaningless chatter. Adults preened and laughed, drinking and gossiping at what was supposed to be a little girl’s birthday party. I hated every second of it. My mother had dragged me and Maky along—not because she wanted us there, but so she could show us off like brand-new designer accessories. She loved the way people looked at her children. It fed her vanity.Sometimes I wished she wasn’t my mother. Fame, money, status—those were the only things she truly loved. My father worked himself to the bone to give her everything she wanted, yet it was never enough. And from where I sat in the corner, watching her smile and flirt with a stranger, I knew she didn’t even try to hide it. I sighed, looking away in disgust.At eight years old, I should have been running and playing like the other kids. But I preferred the quiet. I preferred to watch. Maky was off somewhere, laughing and chasing the other children—happy, innocent, prot

Chapter 44: Swarm of ShadowsThat checkup visit will remain one of my most cherished memories. For the first time, I saw Leon cry—truly cry—when he heard our baby’s heartbeat. He gripped my hand so tightly his knuckles turned white, and when the sound filled the room, tears spilled freely down his cheeks. He kept whispering “I’m here. I’m right here.” over and over, like he was promising both of us safety forever. He wouldn’t let go of me the entire way home, and that very night, he called for a family meeting. He wanted everything settled—our families, our agreement, our future. He wanted to marry me as soon as possible, so he could officially take me and our baby under his protection.Tonight was that meeting.I stood before my mirror, smoothing my dress over my belly. So many changes already. My cheeks were softer, glowing with a blush that had nothing to do with makeup. My clothes fit differently now—tighter around my waist, a little snug everywhere else. I felt heavier, slower, a

Chapter 43: His Only PriorityThe moment Leon walked through the door, a smile naturally stretched across my face—like my heart knew he was near before my eyes even saw him. Deilon followed quietly behind. Vivian stood quickly, her smile bright and respectful as she bowed her head.Leon sank into the seat right beside me, his gaze lingering on her for a quiet moment. "Deilon, show Miss Reid to her new desk. And cancel everything on my calendar for the rest of the day.""Right away, sir," Deilon nodded politely. "Miss Reid, this way please."Vivian’s eyes went wide, glowing with disbelief and pure joy. "Thank you, Mr. Smidth! Truly—thank you so much!"Leon simply gave a nod, then leaned his shoulder gently against mine—as if I were his sanctuary, the one place he could finally let go. Vivian gave me one last warm, knowing smile before stepping out. She wanted to say more, but she understood—this was his time with me, and nothing else mattered.When the door clicked shut, I reached up a
