He was never mine Careless
Wyatt’s POVI was getting careless.I was back to my office, I dropped into my chair behind my desk and stared at nothing.The inspection itself had gone well, professionally at least. She’d been impressed with the building, asked questions and took notes of the layout.But I'd slipped, more than once and I was almost certain she’d noticed. “How would you know that?”Her voice echoed in my head.I’d deflected, I made up some explanation about design standards, complete bullshit.But she didn't believe me. I could see it in her eyes. The way the wheels were turning as she tried to piece things together.My fingers drummed against the edge of the desk.How many more moments like this before she connects dots? Before she realized I wasn’t just someone who had known briefly years ago? Before she remembered what we were to each other?That thought made my stomach twist.Because part of me wanted her to remember, wanted her to look and remember who I was to her.But the rest of me knew w

Avery’s POVI gasped, trying to get some air into my lungs.Then slowly, the flash in my head began to fade away. Reality began to come back to focus. He was still holding me, his hands were firm on my shoulders, steadying me like he expected I would collapse again.“I’m fine,” I managed, though my voice was weak and shaky.But he didn’t let go of me.“You’re not fine,” he said. “What happened?”“I just… I got dizzy.”His eyes searched my face like he didn’t believe what I had just said.“Sit down.”“I’m okay.”But I wasn’t. My hands were shaking and he noticed it.I tried to hide it. I pressed them against my thighs but he saw it. He had this knack of noticing things about me. Neither of us spoke for some time.My breathing steadied gradually. The tight pressure in my chest loosened and the room stopped spinning. His hands were still on my shoulders, grounding me. I stepped back and he let go instantly, giving me space.“Better?” He asked.I nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine.”My mind was
He was never mine The Inspection
The building stood in front of me, its historic facade catching the morning light decorated with old stone and tall windows. I could see some renovations had been done through the glass. Wyatt’s car was already parked outside.I stepped outside of my car, adjusting the straps of my bag on my shoulders. The morning air was cool and the street was still quiet at this hour. He was waiting near the entrance, his hands were relaxed by his side like he had been there for a while.“Morning,” he greeted.“Morning.”The main door clicked open with his keycard. He held it for me. I walked past him into the building that was mine now. The air inside smelled like fresh paint and new materials. Sawdust lingered faintly at some corners. Protective sheets covered the floor while some construction materials and equipment were neatly stacked at some corners. The lobby was impressive.The ceiling was high, giving the entire long an open and spacious feel. Natural light flooded through the newly ins
He was never mine Familiar
Avery’s POVThe crisis was over.IT had secured the systems and the Royal Collection files were safe and now he was standing in my office like nothing extraordinary had happened yesterday. Wyatt Kane leaned casually against the edge of my desk, with one hand in his pocket, his expression calm in that way that made it very impossible to read.I stood across from him. The question sat between us, heavy and unavoidable.He’d just saved my company, offered the building with no strings attached and asked only to handle the security.Why?The question kept circling in my head.Wyatt Kane wasn’t a philanthropist. Men like him don’t do favors. “Why are you doing this?”The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.He lifted his gaze to mine. “Doing what?”“Being nice to me.” I gestured vaguely around the room. “Helping me, saving me and giving me a building.”His mouth twisted.“That’s a dramatic interpretation.”“You know what I mean, Mr. Kane.”The silence stretched between
He was never mine The Fix
Avery’s POV“What kind of security issue?” I asked.For a second, nobody moved. Wyatt was standing near the center of my office and Stella was halfway through the doorway. The tension that had been building between us had shifted instantly into something cooler.Stella’s face went pale.“IT flagged a breach,” she said. “Someone breached our firewall.”My pulse spiked.“When?” I asked.“They’re assessing it.” She replied quickly. “But it happened within two hours.”I was already moving toward the door. Wyatt stepped aside.“Which systems were accessed?”Stella hesitated. “The design servers.”Everything inside me went still.The design servers held the core of Monochrome. Every sketch, every private commission waiting to be released, including the ones that weren’t public yet.I pushed past Stella and headed straight for IT.The IT department was in chaos when I entered. Three engineers were hunched over monitors, typing rapidly as screens filled with codes.My head of IT, Daniel, look
He was never mine Uninvited
Avery’s POVThe moment I stepped back into the Monochrome building, the tension followed me inside. We just left a property inspection.Stella was already walking beside me, as we crossed the lobby.“Legal is reviewing three other alternative properties,” she said. “The building two blocks south of Kane Venture’s building is the strongest candidate.”I nodded.Wyatt Kane could keep his building. We would find another one.I wasn’t going back to his office. I wasn't sitting across from him again while he calmly explained why giving him control over my company was supposed to be reasonable.The whole meeting was a disaster.No!I was done playing his game.Stella informed me the legal team contacted the building owner and negotiation was moving fast.That’s exactly what I want, a solution that didn’t involve Wyatt Kane’s We were halfway down the corridor to my office when Stella’s tablet buzzed. She glanced at the screen and her expression changed.“Ms. Montreaux…”“What?”“Wyatt Kane
