“Kneel? Are you nuts?”I stared at Jared, unable to believe what I was hearing.“If you think I stole her designs, take me to court! Let the law decide who’s guilty. You don’t get to turn this expo into your personal courtroom and pass judgements!”Maria stepped forward, her face red with anger.“Exactly! Since when did you become a judge, Jared? You wave a few papers around, and suddenly you can order people to their knees? Who the hell do you think you are

Ellie’s P.O.V.My anguished sobs echoed through Maria’s bedroom.If Zack had only lied about our relationship, I would have fought him. Maybe even I would take revenge.But this was so much bigger than a lie. He planned everything meticulously.Zack helped me get over Jared. He tricked me into signing contracts so we could work together. Little by little, he became part of my life until I couldn't imagine a day without arguing with him.And all that time, he knew the truth.I looked at Maria, whose eyes glistened with tears.“For three months, I kept telling myself I was imagining things,” I whispered quietly. “Every time he acted possessive, cared for me, or gave me a thoughtful gift, I reminded myself he was my stepson. I thought I was wrong for even thinking about him… that way.”Maria sighed.“And all this time, he was your husband. You didn't have to feel guilty for having feelings for him.”“Exactly!” I wiped my cheeks. “I started hating

Zack’s P.O.V.Ellie walked through the White Mansion’s doors without even looking back.My fists clenched. Anger and frustration twisted inside me as I watched the woman I had risked everything for walk away as if our time together meant nothing.Theo stood outside, waiting for my command. When he saw Ellie, he hurried after her.“Mrs. Walton, please stop. Why are you leaving us?”He reached for her bag, but Ellie politely pulled it away.“I shouldn’t have come here, Theo.”Then she walked away, her steps firm despite the tears shining in her eyes. Theo looked at her for a minute before rushing toward me.“Boss, Ellie is leaving. Stop her!”“I did.” My voice came out sharp. “She doesn’t want to stay.”Theo narrowed his eyes. “How exactly did you stop her if she’s still leaving?”I shot him a glare, but still, he demanded. “Did you tell her why you lied?” “She didn’t listen.” I looked toward the doors through which Ellie had disap

Ellie's P.O.V.“Uncle Zackary, when did you inherit Astor Jewels?”Jared's question froze everything inside me.Uncle Zackary?I spun around sharply, watching Jared approach Zack with disbelief written across his face.“Sorry for my curiosity, Uncle. We never heard anything about this.”The ground seemed to slip beneath my feet.I turned toward Jared. “Why are you calling him Uncle?”His expression stiffened before a mocking smile spread across his face.“You married my uncle, so now I can’t address him properly?”He sneered. “Get over yourself, Ellie. The Walton family had stronger bonds long before you came along.”My ears rang.I slowly turned toward Zack.He stood motionless, his amber eyes cold and his expression unreadable.The pieces began falling into place, one after another.Jared was calling him Uncle. Which meant…No!My gaze darted toward Maria. She looked as horrified as I felt.“Ellie,” she whispe

Ellie's P.O.V.A deep silence fell over the exhibition hall.Hundreds of people were still filming, their phones pointed at Zack and Jared. The expo organizer hurried forward, forcing a nervous smile.“There's nothing serious, Mr. Astor. Mr. Jared Walton helped us catch a thief with concrete evidence.”He pointed straight at me.“This woman deceived us and Astor Jewels by displaying stolen designs.”Zack's expression became unreadable.“A thief?” He glanced at me, then back at the organizer. “Are you sure?”The organizer nodded quickly. “Please, sir. Look at the screen. The evidence is right there.”Zack studied the displayed documents for several seconds. His voice was low yet piercing.“Since when has the expo started sharing exhibitors' confidential application records with other companies?”The organizer stiffened.“Mr. Astor, we only…”Zack cut him off. “You can verify an applicant's employment history with the company. But di

Ellie’s P.O.V.“Kneel? Are you nuts?”I stared at Jared, unable to believe what I was hearing.“If you think I stole her designs, take me to court! Let the law decide who’s guilty. You don’t get to turn this expo into your personal courtroom and pass judgements!”Maria stepped forward, her face red with anger.“Exactly! Since when did you become a judge, Jared? You wave a few papers around, and suddenly you can order people to their knees? Who the hell do you think you are?”Jared barely glanced at her.“Another word, and I’ll have security remove you.”Theo moved between them before Maria could say anything else.“Enough. These documents need to be investigated. Anyone can manipulate records or forge papers. If your evidence is so solid, Mr. Jared, why are you afraid of a proper investigation?”Jared’s smirk deepened.“Because I don’t need one. The evidence is right here.”He eyed his assistant, and the watermark ownership certificate

Ellie's P.O.V.Zack had warned me not to let Jared get away with stealing my designs. I'd thought accepting compensation would free me from my past. But Jared stood in front of me now, holding out the mic and daring me to speak. The predatory glint in his eyes hinted toward his excitement, like he was waiting for me to burst into tears and beg him like before. But no!I wasn't going to break that easily.“Thank you for the presentation, Jared.” I took the mic from him calmly. “You certainly worked hard on it.”His smile faltered for a fraction of a second. I turned toward the audience.“Let's start with something simple. Jared, do you acknowledge that I worked for Walton Lux for two years?”“No.” His answer came without hesitation. “Why would my company hire someone with nothing more than a high school diploma?”I nodded slowly.“Fine. Maria, I'll send you a file. Please display it.”Maria hurried onto the stage, connected her phone to t

Ellie’s P.O.V. The first whisper didn’t reach me. It brushed past me like wind, disappearing under the soft melody of violins and the scent of flowers decorating the grand hall. But the second whisper lingered. And then the third one… grew teeth. “…did you see that?” “…is that really her?” “…p

Ellie’s P.O.V. I didn’t sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Zack's amber eyes and heard his mocking voice. I turned on my side, pressing my face into the pillow, forcing myself to think about someone else. My husband! Zackary... and then his son, Zack. A chill ran down my

Ellie’s P.O.V. The moment I looked up, my heart paused. That man was not old. He wasn’t weak, fragile, or anything like the rumors surrounding Zackary Walton. The young man standing near the door looked handsome in a way that felt illegal. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and dressed in a blac

Ellie’s P.O.V. “Leave? No!” I blurted out before I could organize my thoughts. “Dad, please. Grandma is dead. I don’t have anywhere to go…” But my dad didn’t even let me finish. “You should have thought about it before, Ellie.” His face darkened with fury. “Do you have any idea what you have
