For a moment, silence consumed the room…heavy, suffocating silence.
All eyes were on me, waiting for my reaction. The video had done its job; it painted me as the villain in this carefully woven trap of Adrian’s.
And God, he’d done it brilliantly.
A slow, bitter smile tugged at my lips as I turned to him. “You thought this through, didn’t you?” I said quietly, almost admiringly. “You always were good at p

Kayla’s POVThe restaurant was quieter than most places in the city. It wasn’t one of those crowded, overly glamorous spots where everyone came to be seen.This one had a certain elegance that whispered wealth instead of shouting it. Gold chandeliers hung over tables covered in cream linen.A soft instrumental tune floated through the air. It was perfect for a private dinner… or at least, it would have been if the man I was supposed to meet had shown up on time.As I stepped out of my car, my phone was pressed to my ear. My mother’s cheerful voice filled the speaker.“Oh, you’ll love him, Kayla. Steven is such a refined young man. Polite, handsome, and with good family values. His uncle told me he’s been looking forward to meeting you.”I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “You’ve been saying that for the past week, Mom. I’m beginning to think y

Kayla’s POVThe morning sun was bright and peaceful, yet the day ahead carried a certain weight. Today marked the one-year remembrance of Robert Thompson, the patriarch of the Thompson family… one of the most respected and powerful families in the country.As the car glided through the streets toward the grand estate, I could already imagine the crowd that would be there. The Thompsons were as influential as the Wards… perhaps even more socially admired. The event would certainly draw the attention of every notable figure in Manhattan’s business circle.I was obligated to attend. Not just because of etiquette, but because of Alissa Thompson. Alissa, the late Robert’s first granddaughter, was not just a friend but also one of my most reliable business partners.We’d collaborated on several major projects, and she’d always stood by me through every controversy that threatened my career.When I arrived

Kayla’s POVI wasn’t expecting to spend my night driving to the airport. Especially not after a long day at the office and an even longer night of celebrating with my team. My mother’s call had come out of nowhere, telling me to come pick her up at the Manhattan airport.She’d been in England for weeks on vacation, and now suddenly she was back? Without a single text or hint? I couldn’t lie… something didn’t feel right.When I finally spotted her at the arrival section, there she was… Evangeline Brooks in all her dramatic glory. A fur scarf wrapped around her neck, oversized sunglasses covering half her face even though it was night. She looked like someone stepping off a private jet in a movie, not a regular flight.“Kayla, my darling!” she squealed the moment our eyes met. Her suitcase nearly toppled as she ran toward me. “My goodness, you look so thin! Are you even eating? Oh, I should

Kayla’s POVThe ThreatIt was around six in the evening, and the company’s private hall was already glowing with lights, laughter, and music. Everyone from Brookes Atelier was there… employees, business partners, clients, and even a few media representatives who’d been given limited access.The entire place smelled of champagne, success, and something sweet… maybe it was the strawberry pastries Tessa had insisted on adding to the menu.Upstairs, in the smaller conference room that overlooked the hall, I sat with Maya, Tessa, and a few of my key business partners.From the wide glass wall, we could see the entire celebration taking place below us… people chatting, dancing, and clinking glasses. But up here, the mood was a bit more serious.Tessa leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm. “It’s crazy, isn’t it? Adrian’s scandal really did shake the whole industry. I

Kayla’s POVThe bright studio lights were blinding. They glared down on me like little suns, forcing me to squint even as the cameras began to roll. I could see the red light blink on the main camera, signaling that we were live. My heart skipped once, then steadied.The famous journalist, Clara James, smiled warmly at me from across the sleek glass table. “Welcome back, Miss Kayla Brookes,” she began.“You’ve been in the headlines these past few weeks for all the right reasons…exposing corruption, saving the association’s integrity, and recently… your rather mature reaction to Saxon Chataway’s revelation.”Her tone was friendly but probing. I’d expected that.I smiled. “Thank you, Clara. It’s good to be here.”“Let’s start with the question everyone’s been asking,” she said, leaning forward slightly. “When did you first

But before you condemn me, allow me to explain why I was there.

Kayla’s POVI froze the second I saw him.That face. That calm, polite smile I used to see across the courtroom desk years ago. The same man who’d placed the divorce papers in front of me and said, “Just sign here, Mrs. Brookes.”What on earth was Adri
