After that letter, he hadn’t given her the benefit of the doubt. He hadn’t asked questions. He hadn’t searched for the real reason.

No, he had reacted.

Swift. Brutal. Final.

He’d made a call to his legal team. Then to a few influential names in the tech industry.

No one bearing the Sinclair name was to be associated with any Donovan partner brand.

He didn’t blacklist her outright.

He didn’t have to.

A word here. A name there. Subtle, but enough.

Enough for people to know that Vera Sinclair was not someone you wanted on your team, not if you wanted the Donovan Group’s good graces.

It was overkill. It was cruel. But Asher believed he was protecting himself from a woman who had used him, lied to him, mocked him.

And Vera?

She had no idea.

No idea that her once lover had turned into the hand pulling every opportunity out from under her feet.

No idea that the man who once held her like she was the only thing that mattered now viewed her as a betrayal so deep, it eclipsed everything else.

    Vera's throat burned as she looked down at her lap, fingers clutching tightly around the leather strap of her handbag.Inside it was a small, worn photo of her mother, Elena, taken when she had been healthy, before the disease began to eat away at her. Vera had visited, spent those painful hours by her side, and promised to make her final days easier.But at what cost?Leaving Asher felt like leaving oxygen behind.Her mind flickered back to Lucas.He had been waiting outside the terminal like a ghost from her past. Flowers in one hand, hope in the other.She had shut him down the moment he opened his mouth.“Stop this, Lucas,” she had said, her voice ice. “We are never going back to what we were.”“But Vera...”“No.” She looked him dead in the eyes, her spine straight, her jaw set. “You lost the right to ‘but Vera’ the moment you sold me out. We’re done. Always have been.”His shoulders slumped, the rejection slicing through him like a knife. But she hadn’t flinched.Not for Lucas.N

    After leaving the terminal without another word, Asher got back into the car, his jaw clenched so tight it ached. Damien tried to speak through the comms, but Asher switched his phone off.He couldn’t hear anyone.Back at the penthouse, he went straight to the bar, poured himself a drink, and sat down in the dim light with that damned letter in his hands again.He reread it.Asher stared at the letter, the dim glow from the bar lamp casting long, jagged shadows across his face. The words bled into one another like poison, taunting him with every line."Thank you for everything. I got what I needed."The same line repeated over and over in his mind like a sick mantra. His grip on the paper tightened until it crumpled in his palm.He had left Singapore early. Cut off meetings. Ignored Everett’s suggestions to extend his stay. For what? To come home to this?To find out she had walked out of his life the second he turned his back? No goodbye. No honesty. Just a note like he was nothing.

    “Asher, I..”“Is this what you were leaving for?” His voice was low, careful. “To run away with him?”“No!” she exclaimed. “I didn’t even know he’d be here...”But the hurt in his eyes made her falter.Lucas cleared his throat. “This isn’t what it looks like.”“Oh, no?” Asher asked. “Because it looks like the woman I was going to propose to is walking away from my life, again, with the man who betrayed him.”“Proposal?” Vera blinked, stunned. “What...?”Asher took a shaky breath, controlling his voice. “I came home early to ask you to stay with me forever.”Tears welled up in Vera’s eyes. “Asher, I...”“But I guess I was too late,” he finished, voice hoarse.Vera stepped forward. “Please, listen to me..”But then a buzzing came from Asher’s phone. He looked down, and something shifted in his expression.His eyes flicked back up to her. “I found your letter.”Her blood ran cold. “My what?”“The note you left at the penthouse,” he said slowly. “Telling me you got what you wanted... and

    Evelyn read over it with satisfaction.“It sounds cold,” Sarah commented. “Are you sure he’ll believe she’d say something like this?”Evelyn smiled. “That’s the point. It’s just believable enough to hurt him. He won’t question it at first. He’ll be too blindsided. She’s been his calm in the chaos. This will shatter that image.”Sarah giggled, pure venom in the sound. “He’ll hate her. And then you can finally fix everything and bring him back home, to me.”Evelyn folded the new letter neatly and placed it back on the pillow where the original had been. She took Vera’s original note and tucked it into her handbag with care.“Insurance,” she said coolly.Then she looked around one last time. The apartment was exactly how Vera left it, her mug still drying by the sink, her hoodie gone from the couch. Only the false letter now waited in silence, a quiet weapon posed to pierce Asher’s heart the moment he walked through that door.“Let’s go,” Evelyn said.Sarah followed, already picturing th

    The pen dropped from her hand, her breath shaking as she re read the letter twice. It sounded too calm. Too composed. Like she was at peace with the decision. She wasn’t.But she folded it anyway and placed it on his pillow.She took one last look around the room. The soft blue lighting from the bedside lamp cast shadows across the bed where they’d laughed, kissed, fought and tangled their hearts together over weeks that now felt like lifetimes.Her suitcase sat quietly by the door.With trembling fingers, she pulled on her hoodie, his hoodie, and grabbed the suitcase handle.Her heart cracked just a little deeper as she turned off the lights one by one.She paused in the living room, staring at the painting they once joked about, an abstract piece Asher said looked like a snail running late. She forced a broken smile.And then she walked out.The door clicked shut behind her with a finality that echoed in her chest.Downstairs, the night was cool, the city buzz still alive even at th

    Vera pressed her forehead to her knees, struggling to breathe past the ache in her chest.Asher loved her. That much was clear. He loved her so deeply that he was planning to give up everything just to be with her. And now, he had no idea what his family was doing behind his back.He didn’t know that the walls were closing in. That his empire, his name, was being used to strangle them both.Could she live with herself if he lost everything?Could she forgive herself if his company was ripped away because of her?She could hear his voice in her head, teasing her, calling her Star. Whispering promises, telling her she was the only one who saw him.And now, she had to choose.Vera stood slowly. Her limbs were stiff from sitting too long, her body numb from the emotional battle raging inside her. She glanced around the penthouse, his scent lingered faintly in the cushions, in his jacket hanging by the door, in the empty glass he last drank from.It felt like his space. Their space.Her ga

    There was no accusation in the words. Just observation. Calm, deliberate. But it still hit a nerve.“She’s not some girl,” Asher said. “And trust me, I’ve handled every threat that’s come my way since I took this position. Vera’s not the reason things feel off here.”Everett gave him a knowing smile. “Be careful. The higher you climb, the more people want to take what you have, and the more they’ll use the people closest to you to get it.”Asher narrowed his eyes, fingers tightening around the edge of his chair. “If you know something I don’t, Everett, now’s the time to tell me.”“Just advice from someone who’s been around longer,” Everett replied, raising his glass. “Don’t let your heart blind your mind.”Asher didn’t respond. He just watched as his uncle stood and walked back out into the corridor, leaving him in the echoing silence of the suite.He reached for his phone again. Still no reply from Vera.Maybe she was asleep. Or maybe she was working on that little studio she had hin

    "Made it through another long day. Missing you a little too much tonight. Hope you’re working too hard so I don’t look lovesick alone."Vera stared at the screen, her throat tightening.He still didn’t know. He had no idea about Elena. About Sarah. About his own family.She should tell him. But she couldn’t. Not yet. Not while he was dealing with work and his own pressures. Not while she still hadn’t figured out what exactly she wanted from all of this.So instead, she typed:"Tried to work today, but failed miserably. Might need you back sooner than you think."Then she deleted it.She tried again."Was thinking about you. Penthouse is too quiet without your arrogant self around."She deleted that one too.In the end, she simply sent:"Hope today wasn’t too hard. I miss you."Short. Honest. Barely revealing the storm inside her.She dropped the phone beside her and lay back down on the couch, staring at the ceiling as exhaustion swept through her.Her mind wandered to the studio she
