ADAM'S POV

I had prepared for this, every possible scenario had ran through my mind a thousand times.

But yet, when i stepped into the dimly lit warehouse i had been directed to come, panic surged through me, everything felt like it was happening in slow motion. My heart was pounding heavily in my chest, a reminder of what i dreaded the most .

I knew i had to stay calm, the goal was to get Amanda out of this place no matter what.

"Where is she?" I demanded as i walked up to the entrance, the sound of my boot hitting the floor, echoing as I walked to the front of two men guarding the entrance.

Their eyes were locked on me , as they stared down at me in an intimidating way that made me feel small. I knew I wasn't here to be intimidated.

"Where the fuck is she?" I asked again, my voice sharp, my anger threatening to boil over.

They both looked at each other before one of them grunted a response "Inside. But there's a price to pay for this, it's not charity."

    Ryan’s POVAdam’s words lingered in my head long after I left his office. His tone had been calm, steady, but it carried an edge of desperation when he mentioned Amanda. He said she was suffocating under the weight of lawsuits, that the Stewards would crush her if she didn’t get stronger allies. And then he told me about Thomas White—how Amanda was being backed into a corner by that man’s condition.Marriage.The very thought made my stomach churn. I knew Amanda well enough to understand she would never trade herself so cheaply, not unless she had no choice. The idea of her accepting Thomas’s proposal clawed at me until my chest felt tight. I’d denied it for too long, ignored it, buried it beneath duty, anger, and confusion. But in that moment, I knew the truth.I’d fallen for her.And it might already be too late. ~•~When I pushed open the door to the mansion that evening, Selene’s shrill voice greeted me before I could even take off my

    Adam's POVThe walls of my office felt like they were closing in on me. I had been pacing for an hour, my palms clammy, my head pounding with the weight of the secret I carried. Amanda trusted me to stand by her, but what Thomas White had said to her last night, it wasn’t something I could keep quiet. Not when Ryan still had his claws in her life, in Levi’s life.I slammed my fist against the edge of the desk. Damn it, Adam, you’re going to make this worse. But I couldn’t shake the image of Amanda sitting in my living room earlier, her eyes wide with fear and fury, whispering that Thomas wanted more than just a business arrangement.He wanted marriage.And Amanda, though she hadn’t said it outright, was actually considering it.I couldn’t stand by and watch her be trapped again. Not by Thomas. Not by anyone.That was why I sent the message to Ryan. And now, as I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, I braced myself.The door swung open. Ryan entered lik

    Amanda’s POVThe courthouse smelled like disinfectant and fear. Every time I stepped inside, I felt as though I was being swallowed by shadows that weren’t mine. All the cases were now bleeding together until I could barely breathe under the weight.But today, something was different. People were watching me. Not with pity, not with disdain, but with… curiosity. Whispers slid through the corridor like snakes:"Is it true Thomas White is backing her?""I heard the White Group’s lawyers are taking over the case.""She’s not just some grieving woman anymore, she’s dangerous."Dangerous? The word curled through my chest like fire, For once, the stares didn’t make me want to shrink. They made me want to stand taller.I found Adam leaning against the wall outside the courtroom, his arms crossed, eyes sharp. "The tide’s turning,” he said quietly, studying me.I raised a brow. "You sound almost hopeful.""I’m realistic," he countered. "With White Group backing you, people a

    Thomas’s POVThe name Steward carried weight in every courtroom, every boardroom, and every Silent corner of society. I knew that much. But weight could be shifted if you knew where to push. And I, Thomas White, had built my empire on knowing exactly where to press.Amanda had come to me with eyes that tried to hide desperation but couldn’t. I admired her for that, the way she carried her pain like armor, pretending she wasn’t breaking, even when the world wanted her on her knees.The Stewards thought they were untouchable. Veronica, Selene, even Ryan. They believed influence was inherited like a birthright, But influence, I’d learned, was currency. And currency? I had more of it than the Stewards could ever dream of.That morning, I sat in my office, high above the city skyline, making the first of many calls. Judges who owed me favors, politicians who needed White Group endorsements, media outlets that thrived on my advertising contracts. One by one, I reminded

    Amanda’s POVWe stood frozen on the busy sidewalk, cars rushing by, strangers weaving around us. To everyone else, it was just another afternoon in the city. But to me, the world had narrowed down to Adam’s burning eyes and the storm they carried."You heard me," I whispered.He released my shoulders abruptly, pacing a few steps away, his hands digging into his hair. "That bastard thinks he can corner you like that? Like your life is some bargaining chip he can cash in?""Adam, please."He spun back toward me, fury blazing. "No. You don’t get to stand there and make this sound normal. Amanda, he’s manipulating you. Using the trial, using Levi, using your fear."My chest tightened, my own anger sparking. "What choice do I have, Adam? Tell me! Should I just roll over and let the Stewards destroy me? Should I let them take Levi from me? Ruin my name until I’m nothing but a headline?_The desperation in my voice cracked something inside me. People glanced as they passed, bu

    Amanda’s POVHis words hung in the air like a gun suspended over my head.*I’ll help you. But there’s something you need to understand first.*I stiffened. My fingers curling against my sides, My pulse thundered in my ears. This was it, the part I've be scared about, Thomas White will definitely want something in return for his help.I lifted my chin, forcing myself to meet his gaze. "What do you mean?"He didn’t answer right away, instead, he moved back toward his desk with deliberate slowness, as though reminding me that in this room, in this entire building, he controlled the pace. He settled into his chair and wrapped his fingers around each other, eyes fixed on me with unnerving calm.“You’re in a war, Amanda. The Stewards have influence, yes. But influence only matters as long as no one challenges it. With me behind you, the narrative changes. Judges hesitate, witnesses reconsider, and suddenly evidence that was buried comes to light. But…” He leaned forward slightly. "My suppo
