Nicolas’s POV

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.

I growled moving Riley a little bit to the side to avoid waking her up.

It was Ryder.

I grabbed it fast, my heart beating hard.

"Boss, we found them," Ryder said. His voice was serious. "We know who attacked you that night at the hospital."

I sat up straight, my body tense. "Who are they?"

"The same people who are after Riley now," Ryder said.

My blood ran cold.

Riley.

They wanted her too.

The thought made my hands shake.

I couldn’t let anything happen to her.

I stole a glance at her sleeping figure letting out breath before clutching on my phone and getting up.

“Listen to me Ryder, arrange the best guards. I want her monitored 24/7 and she must not know she’s been watched… nothing just go wrong, not a strand of her hair should be harmed” I warned

"Yes master, she’ll be safe”

I let out a slow breath.

Good.

But it wasn’t enough.

I needed to send this war, the sooner I do that the better. I can’t afford to be l

    Riley’s POVIt’s been weeks. Weeks of Nicolas showing up at my office. Weeks of him sending flowers. Weeks of me throwing them in the trash and shutting him off completelyxEvery time his name popped up on my schedule, I made sure to disappear. Meetings got "rescheduled." Calls went "unanswered." I was done with him. I didn’t want to keep living in the past, what him and I had was over and the sooner he accepts that the better it is for both of us.At least, that’s what I kept telling myself. Tonight was the annual business gala the biggest event of the year, according to my mother. It’d be my first time attending as the new CEO of the Sanchez Corp, I was nervous and so unprepared for this. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the straps of my dark blue dress. My hair was curled, my makeup flawless. I looked good. I needed to look good. Because if I looked confident on the outside, maybe I could fool myself into believing I felt it on the inside too. A knoc

    Nicolas’s POV I watched her walk away. Every step she took felt like a knife in my chest. I wanted to grab her, pull her back or make her listen. But I didn’t. I let her go. For now. Because the idea that she thinks I’ll just let her walk out of my life again? Absurd. I may have made that mistake before but it wasn’t one I was willing to make again. I’ll be damned to have her disappear again. Now that she’s back, I would have her return where she truly belongs. I walked out of the building, my hands clenched into fists. The cold air hit my face, but it didn’t calm me down her absence was eating me up. The fact that I couldn’t stop her from going eat me up, but Riley is a very bullheaded woman she won’t just budge. Nothing could calm me down right now. Not after seeing her. Not after touching her. Ryder was waiting by the car, leaning against the door. He took one look at my face and smirked. "That bad, huh?" I didn’t answer. I didn’t trust myself

    Riley’s POV His grip on my wrist was tight. Too tight. I yanked my hand back, glaring at him. "Cut the crap, Nicolas. We’re done. Whatever we had is in the past now. We both moved on." His jaw clenched. His dark eyes burned into mine. "Moved on? Is that what you think? Really Riley?" "Yes," I snapped. "That’s exactly what I think. We’re over so please don’t try to get in my way." He stepped closer, his voice low and dangerous. "We’re not divorced, Riley. You still belong to me and you’re mine alone" I laughed, but it came out bitter. "I don’t belong to anyone. Especially not you. You made your choices Nicolas. Now you can fuck off." His face darkened. "You think this is a game?" "No," I said, crossing my arms. "But I’m not playing anymore. Our union was based on a contract if I need to remind you of thatThere was never anything real between us and I was a fool to think there was something between us, I may have made that mistake before but not anymore, don’t test me"

    Nicolas’ POV Five years later… Five fucking years. That’s how long I’ve been searching for her. For Riley. Every day. Every night. Every second. I never stopped. I hired the best investigators. I paid off every informant. I chased down every lead. Nothing. She disappeared like smoke. Like she never existed. And it killed me. I remember the day I came back from Thailand. I had just finished my mission the one that forced me to pretend to be engaged to that president’s daughter. It was all a game. A way to get close to her father. I never wanted her. I never touched her. All I thought about was Riley. My wife. The woman I loved. The woman who left. When I got back, I expected to find her waiting for me. But she was gone. No note. No call. Nothing. Just… gone. I know I may have fucked yo for not answering her text messages or calls but I was a mission, I didn’t want to get her involved, last thing I would ever do is put her in danger.

    Riley’s POV My head hurt. Everything was blurry. My body felt heavy, like I had been sleeping for years. I groaned, trying to move, but my arms were weak. Where was I? The last thing I remembered… The TV screen.Nicolas with another woman.My heart shattering.Driving to Anna’s apartment . Then… nothing. Blackness. And now… I forced my eyes open, blinking against the bright light. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar white, high, expensive-looking.This wasn’t Anna’s place. Where the hell was I? I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my temple. I gasped, falling back onto the soft bed. That’s when I heard it. A sob. A woman crying. I turned my head slowly, my heart pounding. There, sitting beside my bed, was a woman with tears streaming down her face. She looked older, maybe in her fifties, but… beautiful. Her hair was dark like mine, her eyes the same shade of green. And she was staring at me like I was a ghost. “My child…” she whispered,
