NOAH’S POV

I had overlooked the signs. Now, my heel was bruised.

The air in the conference room was rent with tension. None of the people could move, no one wanted to feel the wrath that was gently brewing within me.

I had let go, let loose, forgotten the war that I was in. “Don’t say it that way,” my mind hissed. If I said those words out loud, it would sound like I was blaming Sasha for this, like I was hating her for making me laugh— live.

“President Beck,” Matt called out slowly, drawing my attention back into the room. It was empty, except for just mat and I.

“Where…”

“I told them to leave. Do you need a minute sir?” he asked.

I flicked my wrist, and the words seemed to have betrayed me. The door clicked shut softly, signalling his exit. My shoulders sagged, feeling the heavy weight of loss and an immeasurable pain slam through me.

Elda’s foundation was in the news, and that wasn’t something good. Roland Conrad had acquired the land. My mother’s building was on his property.

    AUTHOR’S POV“Just a gentle reminder, you should probably add the latest Tesla Cyber truck to the douceur you will be giving me in five days,”Anastasia stared at the message with trembling hands, her breath shaky as she tried to process what she had just read. This was the third request in the space of one day. It wasn’t even the absurdity of the request that shocked her. It was the deadbolt realisation that Roman wasn’t trying to hide the fact that he wanted her caught.She wasn’t new to his games; she had seen him do much more with people who had done trivial things. “Damn stupid for thinking that we were partners,” she grumbled, tossing the phone away from her side.Her engagement was in five days, and she had yet to sort out a few details. Yet here she was, with a notepad in hand, trying to figure out how to do a damn heist.The soft knock echoed through the door, snapping her out of her inner turmoil, “A minute,” she muttered, trying to drop the notepad in the most inconspicuous

    NOAH’S POV“What is on your mind?” Arthur asked the second the ladies had walked out of the dining room.I heaved a sigh, running my hand across my face as I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I don’t know, one minute I have everything under control and the next, it feels like I am drowning in a world of uncertainties,”Well, added to the fact that Sasha has spent the whole night avoiding my touch or even sparing me a glance. I sounded selfish, but I hated the way she behaved like we were just on contract, like we hadn’t made real progress in our relationship.“You are treading on dangerous waters Noah, one wrong move and the world would tumble down?” he said.“Is the warning for my life or business?” I asked, even though I was inclined to what he was talking about.“You tell me which?” he asked, resting his back on the chair.For one, I was happy that Troy hadn’t made it for dinner. I knew that he wasn’t comfortable with Sasha and I wasn’t ready to be the middle man trying to fight myse

    SASHA’S POVDinner was tense. Noah acted like all was well and I could feel Elisabeth’s curious stares burning at the side of my face.“Sasha, let's leave the men to be men. Come on. I would like to show you what I have done to the garden,” she said, stretching out her hand towards me.I wasn’t a fool; I knew that this was her way of trying to get me alone with her. She could see the emotions swirling in my eyes. I stole one flickering glance at Noah, wondering if he would interject and say we had somewhere to go.But he didn’t, rather he smiled as he placed a soft kiss on the back of my hand as he watched me leave with her.“Are you alright?” Elisabeth asked the minute we walked down the hallway. “I am sorry I missed your show, but from the bits that I picked up, I guess the world is still fawning over you.”I smiled, “It is fine, I totally understand. You had a lot on your plate,”The garden looked more beautiful than I remembered. I gasped, my eyes widening as I looked at the littl

    ROLAND’S POVI still didn’t know how I felt about seeing a man in the office alone with Anastasia. It would have been nothing, but seeing the way she looked panicked was what caught my attention.“What did he want?” I asked again, leading her to the car.She shrugged, “he was looking for Maya, but then he decided to talk to me for a minute,”I could buy that. But I didn’t, not when her tone sounded higher than her usual tone. “If he wanted to see Maya, he would have called her. Don’t you think so,”“Roland, today has been a great one, did you see that we have launched a new collection?” she said, leaning against me, her smile returning to her face.That was what I wanted to talk about. Seeing the brand on the television, a good story, something that we haven’t done in a while.“How did you do that?” I asked, wrapping my hand around her body, placing a kiss on her head.She blushed, melting into my touch, “a little secret I would like to keep for a while,” she muttered.I chuckled, any

    Author’s PovThe air felt fresher, Anastasia's eyes fixed on the television as she listened to the newscaster read a stellar review of the latest collection that she had just released.Her eyes gleamed with pride as she raised a glass slightly to the television, “Thank you Sasha for these designs,” she said in a mocking tone.She couldn’t believe how easy this had worked, when petal told her about their little spy who worked with Sasha, she knew exactly what she was going to do as her first strike. Roman wasn’t wrong when he had suggested that she make herself look worthy of the new position that she would be getting.With just a move, she had achieved a whole lot more than she had bargained for. Eleanor was slowly getting excommunicated and she, well, she was literally the only one the matriarch loved to have a conversation with.The office was empty, safe for the security guard and a few cleaners. She had decided to stay back to work on the second scheme of the plan, with these new

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Trouble in paradise

    Noah’s PovI could feel the anger radiating off her. This wasn’t the usual chirpy Sasha who enjoyed spending car rides with me. She was cold, but something was lingering behind those looks. Pain? Regret?My fingers tighten around the steering wheel, my eyes hardening as I glare at the road. I shouldn’t be angry at her for choosing not to speak to me. She had reached out a thousand times, but I had been the one to refuse her olive branch.I had been so stuck on ending the Conrads that I barely realised that I was losing the one thing that was bringing me peace.It wasn’t exactly a lie that Roland’s action had rattled me, but seeing the extent to which they would go, I had to be careful in my next actions. My mind wandered to the party that I would be attending in just a few days.Petal Conrad is going to see firsthand that she had never had any solid control over my company and Arthur King like she thought she had.I stole a quick glance towards Sasha, if I had a dollar I would love to
