DANGEROUS ADDICTION: The Woman He Couldn't Replace Chapter 63: The Man Behind the Observation
Elliot sat behind his desk in the correctional facility's assessment office, reviewing the notes from his previous sessions with Victor Moretti. The pages contained observations about Victor's mood, his willingness to cooperate with staff, and his adjustment to the restrictions imposed on him. Everything appeared ordinary enough, which was precisely how Elliot intended to keep it. He turned to a fresh page and wrote down the points he wanted to cover during their next session. Victor had become more guarded recently. He still answered questions, but he had started asking questions of his own. Elliot had noticed the change and adjusted his approach, returning to the neutral subjects that had established their working relationship in the first place. There was no reason to rush. He had been assigned to observe Victor's adjustment, and he intended to remain within that role. Questions about stress, decision-making, and the pressures surrounding a pending legal case were reasonable in a

Evelyn Laurent had learned that a courtroom could be quieter than a prison cell. The interview room had no windows, only a rectangular table, four chairs, and a camera fixed in the upper corner. A paper cup of water sat untouched beside her lawyer's briefcase. Across the table, Claire Bennett reviewed the documents arranged in front of her.Evelyn watched the prosecutor turn a page.“You said you were ready to cooperate,” Claire began. “Your statement suggested you had information about transactions approved during your time as Chief Legal Officer at Kingston Group. I need to know whether you're prepared to support that statement with evidence.”Evelyn folded her hands on the table.“I wouldn't have asked for this meeting if I intended to withdraw.”“People change their minds when they discover that cooperation doesn't guarantee immunity.”Marcus Hale, her lawyer, shifted in his chair.“My client understands the terms. She also understands that the prosecution has not promised her a p
DANGEROUS ADDICTION: The Woman He Couldn't Replace Chapter 61: The Original Record
Nathan placed a document folder on Alexander's desk. “The archive team found the register.” Alexander opened it. “And Andrew's authorization?” “It's there. The question is what it actually allowed him to do.” Alexander turned to the marked page. Andrew Kingston's name appeared beside a reference number and a short entry concerning the Kingston Heir trust. The paper had yellowed at the edges, and the ink on several handwritten annotations had faded, but the entry itself remained legible. “Read it.” Nathan leaned forward. “‘Secondary authorization retained for administrative continuity, pending review of original trust conditions.’ That's the complete entry.” “Nothing about ownership or board membership?” “No.” Alexander looked up. “Then what exactly was he asking for yesterday?” “Recognition, access to the sealed trust file, and influence over long-term company decisions.” Nathan paused. “He may believe the authorization gives him a legal basis for all three.” “Believing som

Andrew Kingston arrived at Kingston Group at exactly two o'clock the following afternoon.Alexander watched through the glass walls of his office as his uncle crossed reception. Andrew wore a charcoal suit and an old leather watch, carrying neither a briefcase nor a folder. He had requested the meeting himself, yet appeared entirely unhurried."Has the board secretary confirmed the appointment?" Alexander asked Nathan."Yes. The meeting is recorded, and the legal department knows the discussion concerns corporate governance. Any decisions affecting the company will require the appropriate approvals.""Good. I want the minutes recorded.""Already arranged."Alexander closed the file on his desk. "Let's hear what my uncle wants."Andrew was waiting in the conference room when they entered. He stood, shook Alexander's hand, and acknowledged Nathan with a polite nod."Thank you for making time for me.""You requested the meeting," Alexander replied, taking his seat. "Let's begin."Andrew

Alexander was halfway through breakfast when his phone rang. Regina glanced at it from across the table. “Aren't you going to answer that?” He checked the screen and set his cup down. “Nathan.” “Then answer it before he decides to come here and explain everything in person.” Alexander accepted the call. “Tell me.” Nathan's voice came through immediately. “The meeting with Victor took place this morning.” Alexander's expression changed. “And?” “He has agreed to give a formal statement identifying Andrew's role in the transactions we found in the secondary authorization register. The prosecution has his cooperation on record now, not merely a promise.” “Did he provide anything that can be independently verified?” “Yes. He identified specific transactions and the people who approved them. Investigators have already matched several statements to the register. The remaining details are being checked against the original records.” For weeks, the investigation had led them back to

Alexander entered the house and heard movement from the kitchen.“Alexander?”“I’m here.”Regina appeared a moment later, one hand resting lightly against the side of her stomach. She smiled when she saw him.Alexander walked toward her and placed a hand gently against her cheek.“How’s my beautiful wife doing?”“She’s good… she just feels better now that her husband is home.”His smile deepened.He glanced toward the dining room.“What did you make?”“I didn’t make anything.”Alexander looked back at her.Regina tried to keep a straight face.“I was deciding whether to tell you that I have a surprise.”“A surprise?”She nodded.Before he could ask anything else, a man dressed in an immaculate chef's uniform appeared from the kitchen, followed by two members of the household staff.Alexander looked at them, then at Regina.The chef gave a polite nod.“Everything is ready, Mrs. Kingston.”“Thank you.”The chef turned toward the staff, giving them a few quiet instructions before steppin
