Claimed By My Ex’s Father Chapter 44: Alpha Rivalry
Sloane's POVThe air in the boardroom turned instantly freezing into a state of absolute, suffocating tension that felt like the moment before a lightning strike. Julian Van Der Bilt sat there with a smug confidence, his cold blue eyes locked onto mine, completely convinced that his multi-billion-dollar proposition was enough to create a rift between a twenty-four-year-old commoner and the billionaire patriarch standing behind her.He had no idea that he had just signed his own corporate death warrant.Before I could even adjust my digital terminal, Knox moved. His towering frame shifted with a terrifying, predatory speed that didn't belong in a corporate boardroom. In a single second, his massive, scarred hand crashed down onto the table just an inch from Julian’s face, the heavy impact shaking the crystal water decanters across the room.Knox leaned down, his broad shoulders completely blocking out the view of the River Thames, his sharp green eyes burning with a raw ferocity that

Sloane's POVThe private executive terminal at London’s Heathrow Airport was wrapped in a thick English fog that perfectly matched the cold nature of my mission. I stepped out of the luxury cabin of the Hartley private jet, my six-inch black stiletto heels clicking sharply against the wet asphalt. I wore a custom cream-colored wool trench coat with a high collar, my signature bold scarlet lips the only color breaking the monochromatic silver landscape.Knox walked securely at my side, his towering, broad frame enveloped in a tailored midnight-black overcoat that radiated an intense, dominant alpha presence. His sharp green eyes scanned the perimeter of the private terminal, his hand resting firmly on my back, his heat instantly penetrating the thick wool of my coat.Waiting for us at the edge of the tarmac was a fleet of immaculate, armored silver Rolls-Royces bearing the discrete crest of the Van Der Bilt Group.Thirty minutes later, we were escorted into the master penthouse board
Claimed By My Ex’s Father Chapter 42: The Broken Cog
Finn’s POVThe static sound of the small television screen in the prison common room was the only thing keeping me connected to the world that had so violently erased me. I sat on the wooden bench, my arms crossed tightly over my chest, my eyes hollow and bloodshot as I watched the morning news broadcast.The anchor’s voice was smooth, carrying a clinical tone that felt like an absolute face-slap to my shattered ego.“In a stunning development following the live arrests at the Hartley Global Gala, the federal high court has officially declared all secondary asset declarations signed by former Vice President Finn Hartley to be entirely fraudulent and legally void due to a lineage misrepresentation. Furthermore, the supreme trustee, Sloane Hartley, has initiated a total liquidation of the Vance real estate holdings...”"Hey, new guy. Turn that garbage off and get to the loading dock," a tier guard barked, slamming his heavy baton against the iron door. "The industrial laundry trucks f
Claimed By My Ex’s Father Chapter 41: The Aftermath of the Gala
Sloane's POVThe morning after the annual gala, the corporate boardroom of Hartley Global didn't smell of premium champagne or high-society perfume; it smelled of clinical, absolute defeat. The projection screens were still active, displaying the freezing data points of the asset freeze I had executed against Sterling Logistics and the Vance real estate conglomerate. The media networks were in an absolute frenzy, their headlines shifting from the standard high-society gossip to the systemic, criminal takedown of two of the oldest dynasties in the country.I sat at the head of the table, dressed in a sharp emerald-green blazer dress that perfectly matched the weight of the legendary Hartley emeralds resting against my collarbone. My bold scarlet lipstick was a sharp, dangerous line against my pale skin.The doors slid open, and Knox stepped into the room, his towering, broad-shouldered frame radiating a dense alpha heat that instantly filled the space. He had discarded his formal
Claimed By My Ex’s Father Chapter 40: Coronation of Liquid Midnight
Sloane's POVThe grand ballroom was a sea of glittering diamonds, tailored tuxedos, and fake smiles that covered the profound terror gripping the elite circle. As Knox and I walked toward the primary executive table, the crowd parted like a retreating wave, their postures rigid, their eyes dropping immediately to the floor when my sharp eyes swept across their divisions.Richard Sterling didn't wait for the formal dinner to begin. Backed by Victoria Vance and four senior regulatory analysts, he walked straight to the center podium, tapping the microphone to silence the remaining murmurs in the room."Ladies and gentlemen, members of the board," Sterling announced, his voice booming through the speaker system as he raised the manila folder into the light. "Before we celebrate another year of Hartley Global’s monopoly, we must address a catastrophic compliance violation. I have in my hand a certified asset declaration signed by the former Vice President, Finn Hartley. This document co
Claimed By My Ex’s Father Chapter 39: The Gala Trap
Finn’s POVThe small, dusty television screen in the corner of the prison recreation room was the only window I had left into the world I used to rule. It was Friday evening, the night of the annual Hartley Global Gala, and the high-society media outlets were broadcasting the arrivals live from the grand ballroom of the Intercontinental Luxury Tier.I sat alone on the wooden bench, my grease-stained hands clasped tightly between my knees, my eyes bloodshot as I stared at the flashing lights on the screen.The camera tracked the arrival of Richard Sterling and Victoria Vance. They looked magnificent, radiating an aura of old-money confidence and absolute corporate power as they walked past the velvet-roped media barricades. Sterling caught the eye of the lead anchor, a smug, victorious smile playing at the corners of his lips as he adjusted his gold cufflinks.“Tonight marks a historic shift for Hartley Global,” Sterling stated into the microphone, his voice dripping with an arrogant
