Chapter 20

Millie stormed out of the party with her jaw clenched so tightly that it hurt.

She barely acknowledged the people who tried to greet her as she pushed through the crowd and made her way toward the exit. She was too angry to care about appearances, too humiliated to pretend she was having a good evening, and too furious with Throne to even think clearly.

Where the hell was he?

He was supposed to be looking after her. That had been the whole point.

Throne was supposed to be there when

  • Dear Ex-Husband, The Quadruplets Are Mine   Chapter 98

    Maverick POVI arrived fifteen minutes early.I had checked the address Patricia sent me the night before, confirmed the museum's opening hours, and planned the afternoon down to the smallest detail. Still, as I stood beside my car waiting for Oliver, I found myself wondering whether I had overlooked something important.It was only a few hours. A visit to the car museum, lunch, and then home.But to me, it felt like the beginning of something I had wanted for years.The front door opened, and Patricia stepped outside with Oliver beside her. He was dressed in jeans and a blue shirt, holding a small backpack.“Daddy!” he called.I smiled. “Hey, buddy.”He ran toward me, but slowed down just before reaching the car. I crouched to meet him.“Ready for our day?”“Yes!”I glanced at Patricia. She had a careful expression, the kind that reminded me she was allowing this because Oliver wanted it, not because she trusted me completely.“His water bottle is in the side pocket,” she said. “Ther

    Patricia's POV I knew something was different when Oliver asked about his father before breakfast.Usually, the children talked about school, their games, or whatever project they had decided to build that day. Lately, though, Maverick had become a regular part of their conversations. They mentioned their video calls, the pictures he sent, and the little questions he remembered to ask them.I hadn't expected their interest to grow so quickly.“Mommy, when are we seeing Daddy again?” Oliver asked, sitting at the kitchen table with a spoon in his hand.I looked up from the lunch boxes I was preparing.“Why do you ask?”He shrugged. “I want to see him.”Mason nodded. “Me too. We always talk on the phone.”Ethan was busy spreading jam across his toast, but he joined in. “It would be better if he came here.”Clara looked at her brothers, then turned to me. “Can we see him, Mommy?”I placed the lunch box on the counter.Their questions were innocent. They weren't asking me to forgive Maver

    Patricia's POV I thought the worst part of the investigation would be discovering how someone had gained access to Vanguard Design's files. I was wrong.The worst part was realizing that the altered blueprints might not have been the only thing someone wanted to compromise.I sat in my office, reading the preliminary report Rachel had sent that morning. The investigation had uncovered suspicious activity across several project folders, including files that had nothing to do with the technology tower.

The team found activity involving two older developments and one project we're preparing to present to a new client."I sat straighter. "Was anything changed?
