Arthur’s screen flickered as another data set loaded, the room lit by the cold blue glow of evidence trying to become truth. Sophia leaned over his shoulder, close enough that her breath warmed his collarbone, close enough that the tension between them sharpened the silence. Numbers scrolled. Names blurred. Time compressed into a narrow tunnel of focus.

“Here,” Arthur said. “Pause it there.”

Sophia’s finger hovered, then tapped. The ledger froze, a constellation of transfers branching out like veins. Her pulse thudded in her ears. “Those aren’t donations,” she said. “They’re consulting fees. Too regular. Too clean.”

Arthur nodded. “And too small to trigger alerts. Someone wanted them invisible.”

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 142: If I Let You Go

    Julia watches the interview alone.The apartment is dim, curtains half-drawn against a gray afternoon, the television casting a cool glow across the room. Vanessa sits perfectly framed on-screen—soft lighting, neutral makeup, hands folded like restraint itself. Her voice is calm, almost wounded, and it makes Julia’s stomach tighten.“I’ve been misunderstood,” Vanessa says gently. “When you work closely with powerful people, assumptions follow.”Julia doesn’t blink. She leans forward, elbows on her knees, fingers threaded so tightly they ache. The first three minutes are exactly what she expected—measured humility, careful omissions, a practiced sadness that invites rescue.“And the rumors?” the interviewer

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 141: The Shape of the Trap

    Arthur doesn’t sit when he tells them.He stands near the window of the conference room, city lights fractured by rain, tablet in his hand like a weapon he doesn’t yet know how to swing. Julia feels it immediately—the tension, the contained urgency—before he even opens his mouth.“This is incomplete,” Arthur says. “But it’s real.”Sophia leans forward first. “Incomplete how?”Arthur turns the tablet toward them. On the screen: a series of transfers, timestamps, names half-redacted. Julia’s pulse picks up as she recognizes one of them.Vanessa.“She paid a director,” Arthur continues. “Not dir

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 140: The Night the Bed Stayed Cold

    The bed feels too large for two people who refuse to move closer.Julia lies on her side, facing the window, the city’s glow bleeding through the curtains in pale strips of light. Brandon is behind her, close enough that she can feel the heat of him through the thin barrier of sheets and distance, but not touching. Not really. The space between them hums with everything they are not saying.Stress has a way of turning silence into something sharp.She shifts slightly, the mattress dipping. His breath stutters, just once, like he noticed. They are acutely aware of each other—every movement, every pause—yet frozen in restraint, as if crossing the line would break something fragile they’re trying desperately to protect.“You awake?” Brand

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 139: Evidence That Lies

    Julia sees the photo before she’s ready for it.It’s waiting on her phone when she wakes, screen glowing softly in the half-dark of the bedroom. Vanessa’s hand is curved against Brandon’s shoulder. Her mouth is close to his cheek—too close. His head is angled just enough to make it look intimate. Familiar. Chosen.The framing is cruelly perfect.Julia sits up slowly, sheets sliding from her shoulders, pulse loud in her ears. For a moment, she doesn’t breathe. The world narrows to pixels and implication, to how easily a single image can rewrite a marriage.It looks real.That’s the most dangerous part.Brandon is in the bathroom, water runn

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 138: The Woman They Almost Believe

    Vanessa laughs softly, the sound perfectly calibrated for the room.She stands beneath the chandelier in the conference hall, posture elegant, hands folded loosely at her waist. Her dress is understated in the way only wealth understands—nothing loud, everything deliberate. When she speaks, heads tilt toward her instinctively, as if grace itself has leaned forward.“It’s been… challenging for everyone,” she says, voice warm. “Transitions always are.”Brandon watches from three steps away, expression unreadable. Julia stands beside him, shoulder barely brushing his arm, aware of every inch of space between them. Cameras cluster at the edge of the room, lenses adjusting, hunting.Vanessa turns slightly, letting her gaze pass over

  • Falling for the Disgraced Heir   Chapter 137: The Wrong Comfort

    Julia knows the moment Arthur steps closer that this will be misread.They’re standing on the steps of the museum after the charity panel, cameras already hovering like insects drawn to heat. Arthur’s hand comes to her elbow—not possessive, not intimate, just steady. He leans in to speak quietly, his mouth close to her ear.“Smile,” he murmurs. “They’re watching for fractures.”She does. The smile feels practiced, borrowed, a mask she can hold without shaking. The conversation is innocuous—funding timelines, donor confidence, the next press cycle—but the optics are treacherous. Two people framed too neatly. Two silhouettes that suggest comfort instead of coordination.A shutter clicks. Then another.
