Nathan's POV.
The faded yellow folder was finally in Emma’s trembling hands, but Dr. Frank was still kneeling on the carpet by the open safe, his breathing incredibly shallow and his eyes darting frantically between my face and the cracked wall socket as if he expected my security guards to drag him out into the freezing rain right this second. I stepped closer to him, towering over his small frame to make sure he understood that handing over the

THE BROKEN PAPER.Nathan’s POV.The second Derek slammed his hand down onto the table and raised his voice at Emma, I shoved the connecting door wide open and stepped into the consultation room with my guards right behind me, my patience completely gone as I moved across the floor before anyone could react. I grabbed Derek by his collar and slammed him back into his chair so hard that the frame rattled against the floor, and I leaned directly down into his face with a terrifying look that instantly silenced his foolish shouting, making his court-appointed lawyer shrink back into his seat while the precinct officers in the hallway opened the main door to see what was happening."You will never raise your hand or your voice at my wife ever again, Derek, and you are going to sit in that chair and listen to me very carefully before I decide your fate for the rest of your life," I said, my voice dropping into a low, deadly tone as my guards stepped up to blo
DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Seventy-Four.
THE OFFICE SHOWDOWN.Emma’s POV.The small consultation room on Fifth Avenue was quiet when I took my seat at the main table alongside Joel and the official notary, and my mind was steady because I knew Nathan was standing right behind the connecting door in the adjoining room with his security team waiting in total silence. The transition from our penthouse arrival to this downtown office suite had been fast, and when the precinct guards opened the hallway door to bring Derek inside, my heart didn't even skip a beat as I looked at my ex-husband for the first time in weeks. Derek looked completely ragged and desperate in his wrinkled prison clothes, his hair was unwashed and messy, and his hands were trembling slightly as the guards unhooked his metal cuffs before taking their positions outside in the hallway, leaving only his court-appointed lawyer sitting beside him at the opposite end of the table."You look very comfortable sitting there with your e

THE PROTECTIVE HUSBAND.Nathan’s POV.The living room in the penthouse was completely quiet after Emma finished explaining the details of Derek's phone call, and I walked over to the glass window with my hands shoved deep into my pockets while my chest burned with absolute fury. The sheer nerve of Derek demanding ten million dollars and demanding to get Emma alone in an isolated office building downtown was completely unacceptable, and I turned around to face her with a very firm expression because there was no scenario in this world where I would ever let that broke fraudster stand near my wife without me standing right beside her. Emma was sitting on the sofa holding a cup of water, her fingers slightly shaking as she looked up at me, and Joel was standing by the table with his open briefcase, waiting to hear my final decision on the matter."There is absolutely no way you are going into that Fifth Avenue office building alone, Emma, and I do not care

DEREK’S DEMANDS.Derek’s POV.The holding cell was very small and quiet as I sat on the narrow bench waiting for the guard to bring my afternoon water, but the entire mood changed the second a high-ranking precinct officer opened the door and handed me an official legal packet sent directly from Joel’s law firm. I opened the large envelope and began reading through the financial pages, and my mouth went dry as I saw the figures detailing a forty-million-dollar trust fund that Emma’s late father had set up years ago, complete with the specific clause that required my final signature before any money could be released to her. A sudden wave of energy rushed through me as I looked at the signature line on the document, understanding that I held the ultimate leverage to get millions of dollars out of Nathan Zander, because without my name on that paper, Emma could never touch a single dollar of her father’s inheritance."This is the exact chance I have been waiting for, and now Emma and

THE HIDDEN FORTUNE.Emma’s POV.The morning after our quiet dinner on the terrace was very calm, and I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea while Pearl and Gina were finishing their breakfast before school, but the peaceful mood shifted slightly when Joel walked into the penthouse carrying a thick leather folder. He placed the folder onto the wooden table right next to my tea cup, and he looked at me with a very serious expression that made me wonder what kind of legal news he was bringing us so early in the day. Nathan walked over from the counter to join us, pulling out a chair to sit beside me while Joel opened the main ledger and pulled out several official documents with red wax seals at the top."Emma, I was reviewing your late father's corporate files to finish the final transfer of your old family accounts, and I found a forgotten trust fund that your father established over fifteen years ago before his original company was restructured," Joel explained, pointing h

THE SUBPLOT RESOLUTION: THE SCHOOL SAFETY WIN.Emma’s POV.The emergency call I had placed to Nathan from the academy gates was handled within minutes because his security team reacted instantly to the photographer's information, and by Monday afternoon, the local precinct captains had successfully located the stolen delivery van and placed the real Derek Williams under absolute maximum-security arrest, allowing me to finally breathe a massive sigh of relief as I stood in the main administrative office of the new international academy. Nathan was standing right next to the school principal by a large display screen showing the updated security feeds, and the school directors were nodding their heads in complete agreement because we had just reinforced the campus security layout completely, ensuring that Derek or any of his old harbor associates could never get within a mile of the girls ever again. The principal, a polite woman named Dr. Evans, closed her main
