NATHAN’S POV

I was halfway through signing a document when the sound hit.

A sharp gasp.

A chair scraping.

Then—

A body hitting the floor.

“Hey—!”

I stood up instantly.

People were already moving, voices overlapping, confusion erupting in the hallway just outside my office. I pushed past my desk, irritation already simmering—

Until I saw her.

Ella.

She was standing stiffly near the elevator, her face pale, her hand hovering in the air like she’d just reached for something

    Desmond and I sat across from Dr. Giovanni’s desk.The room felt too quiet.Too controlled.Like something bad was about to be said.The door opened.Dr. Giovanni stepped in from the restroom, wiping his hands with a handkerchief. He moved calmly, almost too calmly, before taking his seat across from us.He adjusted his glasses.Then looked at me.“What did you want to discuss about my wife?” I asked immediately. “Isn’t she out of danger?”“That’s not what I meant earlier,” he replied.My shoulders relaxed slightly.Good.She was safe.That was all that mattered.“Mrs. Blake sustained a severe head injury,” he continued, “and lost a significant amount of blood.”I nodded once.I already knew that.“Because of this,” he went on, “she may experience post-traumatic effects.”“Post-traumatic…?” I repeated.“She is currently unconscious,” he explained, “but when she wakes, she may experience temporary disorientation—seconds, minutes, days… even weeks.”My brows furrowed.“She may also have

    IVY’S POV I didn’t leave Nathan. Not really. He was busy—surrounded by men in suits, voices low and serious, talking about things I didn’t understand and didn’t belong in. So I let him be. I wandered off instead. Alone. The music was soft, the laughter light, but somehow… I still felt out of place. Maybe I could make a friend. Maybe tonight wouldn’t be so bad. “Oh my God, Ivy!” I turned. Ella. My shoulders tensed instinctively. But— She smiled. Warm. Genuine. Almost too genuine. “You look bored,” she said, looping her arm through mine like we were already close. “Come on, let’s play something. This is my party—you don’t get to be lonely here.” I hesitated. Then nodded. We played. Some silly party game. Truth or dare… or something close to it. At first, it was fun. Light. Easy. But then— I missed a turn. “Drink!” someone cheered. I frowned slightly. “I don’t really—” “Just a little,” Ella encouraged softly, handing me a glass. “Relax.” I didn’t want to

    The car hadn’t even fully stopped before I stepped out. “Ivy!” My voice echoed through the mansion as I stormed inside, checking every corner like she might suddenly appear. Nothing. The living room—empty. The hallway—silent. Her room— Empty. It felt like hours before I found myself standing in front of the main gate. Desmond had already gathered the security. They stood there. Heads bowed. Silent. Too silent. “Why are you quiet?” Desmond demanded sharply. No answer. My chest tightened. “Speak!” I barked. One of them stepped forward nervously. “Sir… madam returned a short while ago, but—” “But what?” I snapped, stepping closer. My patience was gone. “She… left again, sir.” For a moment, I just stared at him. “What do you mean she left again?” My voice dropped, cold and dangerous. Desmond moved beside me. “Explain.” “She came back about twenty-five… maybe thirty minutes ago,” the guard said quickly. “She entered through the gate, stayed for a few minutes… then

    My voice cut through the music, through the laughter, through everything. But she was gone. The room suddenly felt suffocating. People everywhere. Faces I didn’t care about. Voices I didn’t hear. “Ivy!” I shouted again, grabbing the nearest person. “Did you see her? My wife—white dress—did you see where she went?” Blank stares. Shrugs. Useless. I pushed past them, scanning every corner, every hallway, every exit. Nothing. Ten minutes. Twenty. Thirty. Still nothing. My chest tightened. This wasn’t like her. She wouldn’t just disappear. Unless— No. I pulled out my phone, dialing her number. Dead. Switched off. “Damn it!” I ran a hand through my hair, pacing. Think. Think. Did she go home? Maybe. Maybe she couldn’t handle it and left. I grabbed my phone again and dialed. “Desmond.” “Sir.” “Where are you?” I snapped. “Is Ivy with you?” A pause. “No, sir. Madam is not with me. When I left, she was still at the party.” My stomach dropped. Still at the p

    NATHAN’S POV“I want to throw a party.”I looked up from my tablet slowly.“No.”Ella didn’t even blink. “I just got back. All my friends are still abroad. I need to meet people here… settle in again.” She paused, then added casually, “Maybe even find a boyfriend.”A boyfriend.My jaw tightened slightly.“No parties,” I repeated.“I’ll keep it small,” she said, tilting her head. “Just a few people. You don’t even have to stay long.”“I said no.”And that should’ve been the end of it.But then—“I think it’s a good idea.”I turned.Ivy stood by the doorway, arms folded loosely, watching me.My brows furrowed. “You do?”She nodded, almost too quickly. “She just got back. Let her have some fun. “…Fine.”___TWO DAYS LATERThe Rolls-Royce Spectre door opened smoothly.And then—Ivy stepped out.For a second, the entire world… paused.The lights, the music, the chatter—it all dulled into nothing as my eyes locked on her.White.She was wearing white.The dress clung to her in a way that w

    NATHAN’S POV “Ella, what the hell?!” My voice echoed through the hallway, raw with anger I wasn’t even trying to hide anymore. She didn’t flinch. If anything, she looked amused. “I’m sorry,” she said, laughing lightly, completely unfazed. “I didn’t know you were trying to hump your girlfriend.” My jaw tightened. “You mean my legally wedded wife?” I shot back, each word deliberate, laced with fury. That got a reaction. IVY’S POV “You mean my legally wedded wife?” Nathan’s voice carried through the hallway, sharp and clear. I didn’t mean to listen. But I did. And then— “I’m sorry.” I frowned. That didn’t sound like the Ella I had just met. “I… I didn’t mean it like that,” she said softly, her voice trembling now. “I just… I wanted to see her. I didn’t know you were… busy.” Busy? My eyes narrowed. Then came the sound of sniffing. Crying. I blinked once. Twice. Oh, come on. Curiosity got the better of me. I pushed the door open slightly a

    I clutched Ivy’s phone like a lifeline as I stormed toward the penthouse building. Ivy wouldn’t have gone to her parents’ place, and she definitely wouldn’t have left without telling me. There was only one other place she could be home. Or whatever you called the luxury castle she now lived in.

    NATHAN’S POV The call came in while I was still halfway through a meeting. “Sir,” my security guard’s voice crackled through the line. “Miss Amy just entered the penthouse. She said she was expected.” I was already out of my chair before he finished the sentence. “Don’t let anyone else in,” I

    I stood in the center of the room, heart pounding in my chest,not from the kiss, but from the sheer rage bubbling in my throat. Nathan had just kissed me like he owned every part of me. And now? Now he stood there, calm, as if he hadn’t just devoured me in the heat of something he couldn’t

    Nathan didn’t even look up from his tablet when he spoke. “We’re attending an event tonight. It’s at my hotel.” I paused mid-step. That hotel… The hotel where it all began. Where my life flipped like a coin tossed too high. “The same place?” I asked, my voice low. He nodded. “It’s a corporate
