He was never mine Nate’s Trapped
Wyatt’s POVBy morning, news of Celeste's arrest was everywhere. News and all social media blogs.“Celeste Sterling Arrested last night for Property Fraud.” “Another Sterling Industries Family Scandal.” “Wife of Sterling Executive Facing Felony Charges.” Harper called at six AM. I was already awake, working on some files. “She’s talking.”“To who?”“Everyone. The police, press… anyone who’ll listen.” Her voice sounded stressed and frustrated. “She’s controlling the narrative before we do.”I pulled up the news feeds. Celeste was outside the precinct. Cameras everywhere and microphones almost shoved in her face, playing the victim perfectly.“She’s saying Nate gave her permission,” she continued.“Can she prove it?”“I don’t know but the accusation is enough.” She paused.This was getting bigger than expected, slipping beyond control, turning into something harder to manage.And she was right. People don’t need proof, they choose sides. I could hear her typing. “We need to get her

Wyatt’s POVTen days in New York, and it still wasn’t enough. Everyday had been the same. Meetings back to back, damage control, quiet negotiation to salvage what Nate had destroyed. I was making progress. Slowly but it was holding. Investors were starting to believe again, starting to believe Sterling might survive this, starting to give us another chance.Until Nate decided to make it worse again.I sat in my office in the late afternoon, files spread across the desk, overlapping in a way that made it hard to tell where one problem ended and another began. A cup of coffee sat untouched near my hand, long gone cold. I couldn’t even remember when I poured it.Another investor call scheduled in twenty minutes. I reached for the briefing notes for the call and skimmed the key points again. Everything was stabilizing, the stock, partnerships, but not enough to guarantee anything. One wrong move and we’d lose them again. This wasn’t a total recovery yet. It was damage control, still ha

Avery’s POVI walked into Monochrome headquarters. The building still felt new, still unfamiliar in the way new spaces do. The team was already settling in. Boxes were unpacked, each team desk was organized and work had resumed. Two days after the launch. Two days since he asked me for dinner, and nothing. No calls, no messages, no explanation for his disappearance, just silence. Maybe he’d changed his mind. Maybe ‘soon’ didn’t mean what I thought it meant. Maybe it was just something he said. Maybe I’d misread everything.I pushed the thought away and tried to focus on work. I took the elevator to my floor, the design team floor. It was already buzzing with activity. People were working.I walked through the offices, greeted my team, checked in on projects, my usual routine but something felt off.People were looking at me differently. It seems they’d been talking about something, speculating or maybe they knew something. I walked past a group near the coffee station. Three jun

Wyatt’s POVI landed in New York at midnight. Rain streaked across the window as the plane taxied. Cold air hit my face when I stepped off the plane, sharp enough to cut through the exhaustion already setting in my bones.I went straight to Sterling Industries headquarters. The building was almost empty, just a few lights still on and the cleaning crew moving through the hallway like shadows. I dropped my bag at the desk when I got to Richard’s office, loosened my tie, and rolled my sleeves.This would be quick. One day two at most. Fix what needed fixing, smooth things over and get back to California, back to her.I turned on the desk lamp and opened the first file. That was when things started falling apart.Page after page of a mess, numbers that didn’t add up, contracts marked ‘pending’ with no follow-up, emails unanswered, meetings rescheduled, then cancelled, then abandoned completely.I went through one file then another. By the fourth file, my jaw had already tightened.And

Avery’s POVThe music became slower and softer. People were still watching us. After what had just happened. After Wyatt’s ‘soon’ and my instinctive retreat into his chest. I turned my head and met his eyes. I tried to read what he was thinking.“Dance with me,” he said, his voice low, meant only for me.I hesitated.I should’ve said no. I should’ve stepped back, created space, reminded both of us where the line was supposed to be. That would’ve been the smart thing to do, but I didn’t.“Okay,” I said finally.We moved toward the open space, blending in with the other couples, but I could still feel every eye in the room, watching not even trying to hide it.His hand settled at my waist, steady, and mine rested on his shoulder, light at first, then firmer. Neither of us pushed too far. His thumb brushed rough against my waist, not enough to draw much attention, but enough I felt it.We moved together. The music filled the silence between us, but I was aware of everything else, the

Avery’s POVThe opening event was everything I’d hoped for.Monochrome’s new headquarters officially launched.The space was filled with designers, investors, and industry people. The energy was buzzing but elegant. Champagne glasses in hand, soft music threading through conversations. Everything was perfect.This was it.Proof that Monochrome had survived. That we’d come out stronger. That everything Daniel and Maison Delacroix did hadn’t been enough.I moved through the crowd. Greeting guests, thanking people for coming, playing the part of a confident CEO.Wyatt was there. He’d arrived early. He helped with last-minute setup like he always did, making sure everything was perfect. Now he moved through the event like he actually belonged here.Which, in a way, he had. He’d made this building happen. Pushed it through and made it real.But it wasn’t just that.He stayed close. Not in a way that drew attention. Not hovering. Just…there, always in reach.Even when I wasn’t looking, I kn

Wyatt’s PovShe survived the flight, barely.They worked on her for twenty minutes straight after landing, still in the plane. The new medical team moved fast, they were efficient. I stood against the wall of the cabin and watched them fight for her again.Dr. Harrison finally stepped back. "She's

Wyatt’s povThe private ambulance pulled out of Ridgefield General's back exit at six- twenty in the evening with no sirens to draw attention. Just a white vehicle moving fast through almost empty streets.I sat in the back with Avery while the medical team worked around me in the cramped space. Ha

Nate’s PovI stood in the hotel room, staring at the bathroom door.Blonde woman…The phrase was played on repeat in my head. Celeste was blonde, so were hundreds of women here. That doesn’t mean anything. I was just being paranoid.Celeste came out from the bathroom fully dressed, her makeup was f

Wyatt ’s POVThe ambulance screamed through Ridgefield, the sirens cutting through the silent night. I grabbed Avery’s hand again, it was cold in mine.The line kept falling, it was weak seconds by second.I couldn’t breathe deep and I couldn’t look away from that screen showing her life fading rig
