​PLAYING THE EX CARD.

​Emma's POV.

I stopped right by the elevator doors and turned back to face Nathan, ignoring the buzzing text message in my palm because seeing Derek and Vera downstairs only made my blood boil with a fresh wave of determination. I walked straight back over to where Nathan and Mark were standing, my heels clicking loudly on the floor tiles as I looked

  • DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET.   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN.

    BURNING THE PROMISE RING.Emma’s POV.The late afternoon sun was casting a warm glow over the city skyline as I sat on the sofa in our penthouse living room, and the transition from watching our televised press conference on the news channel to hearing the private elevator doors slide open was completely peaceful as Mark escorted Julian into the main foyer. Julian was wearing a plain dark suit and carrying a single travel bag over his shoulder, looking quiet, calm, and completely resigned to his new reality as he stepped into the living room space toward where I was sitting."Good afternoon, Emma, I asked Mark if I could stop by the penthouse for just five minutes before my escort takes me to the airport runway, because I wanted to see you one last time before leaving the country for good," Julian said, standing near the edge of the carpet while keeping his hands politely at his sides."Good afternoon, Julian, I am glad you came to say goodbye, and I hope you know that neither Nathan

    CLEARING THE FAMILY NAME.Nathan’s POV.The afternoon sun was shining brightly through the wide windows of the central media hall at Zander Logistics headquarters as dozens of reporters from national news stations were taking their seats, and the transition from standing inside my private dressing room to walking down the hallway with Emma and Joel was completely smooth while Mark stayed two steps behind us. Joel held a certified legal folder under his arm, holding the final stamped court dismissal order that permanently froze all secondary claims against the Quinn Trust, clearing Richard Quinn’s estate of every single legal encumbrance once and for all."Good afternoon, Nathan, the press room is completely filled with over fifty media representatives, and every major television channel in the country is currently broadcasting this press conference live on their network," Joel reported, tapping his tablet device to check the media feeds before we stepped up onto the stage."Is the fin

    THE PSYCHIATRIC RESTRAINT.Emma’s POV.The morning sun was shining through the window as Nathan and I sat together at the table while Joel walked into the room carrying a folder, and the transition from reviewing our morning schedule to discussing Chloe's medical evaluation was completely smooth because our lawyer had just received the official court report from the hospital precinct. Joel set the folder down on the table surface, pulling out several pages of medical documentation while looking across at us with a serious expression on his face."Good morning, Emma and Nathan, I have just received the final evaluation report from the court-appointed psychiatrist who examined Chloe at the medical center following her arrest at the gala last night," Joel said, opening the paper pages in front of us."What did the psychiatrist say about Chloe's mental state after evaluating her behavior during the gala breakdown and her arson attempt upstate, Joel?" Nathan asked, leaning forward in his c

    JULIAN’S SURRENDER.Nathan’s POV.The morning sun was shining bright through my high-rise office windows as I sat behind my desk table, and the transition from stepping off the private elevator to starting our legal meeting with Julian was completely smooth as Joel laid out three separate paper contracts on the table surface. Julian was sitting in the leather chair directly across from me, looking exhausted, nervous, and thoroughly defeated while Mark stood near the closed office door monitoring our conversation."Good morning, Julian, I appreciate you showing up to my office on time, because today we are going to finalize your complete legal surrender regarding the Quinn Trust," I said, leaning my arms flat against my desk table as I looked straight into his eyes."I am so glad you agreed to meet with me today, Nathan, because after watching the police drag Chloe out of that gala ballroom last night, I want nothing more than to sign these paper files and put this entire nightmare beh

    THE BREAKDOWN.Emma’s POV.The grand ballroom was buzzing with conversations as high-society guests stared at the giant projection screens displaying my father's original legal document, and the transition from stepping down off the stage stairs to turning back toward the side exit door was completely heavy as two police officers moved through the crowd. Chloe was struggling wildly against Mark's tight grip near the corner of the stage carpet, her face turned pale with pure shock as every single executive, reporter, and donor in the room stared at her with utter disgust and total contempt."Get your hands off me right now, because you have no right to touch me in front of these people!" Chloe shrieked, kicking her heels against the floor while pulling her arms back in a desperate effort to break free."You are officially under arrest for criminal pass theft, civil harassment, and felony arson charges, so stop resisting or we will place you in handcuffs immediately," the lead police of

    EXPOSING THE TRUTH.Nathan’s POV.The bright stage lights were shining down onto the central podium as Emma and I stood beside Joel while Mark and his security men escorted Chloe out through the side doors, and the transition from watching our unhinged antagonist get dragged away to stepping up to the backup microphone was completely smooth as the murmurs of the high-society crowd quieted down into a tense silence. Joel opened his leather briefcase on the podium surface, sliding a clean digital flash drive directly into the media console connector while signaling the production crew at the back of the ballroom."Ladies and gentlemen of the Zander Foundation, please direct your attention to the giant projection screens hanging above the main stage, because we want you to see the exact legal facts behind tonight's unfortunate distraction," I announced into the microphone, keeping my voice steady, calm, and completely confident as the large screens lit up behind our backs."Look at those
