Avery ’s POV

The next morning, I sat in my office staring at the calendar. Three weeks until launch.

Maison Delacroix would release designs anytime soon.

Wyatt Kane had already made calls to his contact. I know that but that doesn’t guarantee anything.

Even if the production was delayed, it won’t stop them completely.

Maison Delacroix could find a way to release the designers even though Wyatt Kane’s contact delayed it, which would make Monochrome look like we plagiarised. I couldn’t let that

  • He was never mine   Soon

    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

  • He was never mine   Settling In

    Wyatt’s POVI picked up Avery at her old office. The moving truck was already half-loaded, boxes stacked together near the curb, her team moving in and out of the old Monochrome branch.She stood off to the side, watching it all with a quiet kind of satisfaction on her face.Today was the day. Monochrome’s official move into the new headquarters.“Ready?” I asked her when she got in.“More than ready.” She shut the door and glanced back at the truck. “I’ve been waiting for this part for weeks since the last walkthrough.”I started the engine. “The part where everything becomes real?”She nodded. “Yes.”The drive was easy. No pressure, no weight hanging between us the way it had few weeks ago.She talked about the move like she’d been holding it in for weeks. How each department would settle, which teams would clash, who’d try to claim spaces that weren’t theirs.I listened, letting her talk as we drove.“You’ve been around a lot,” she said suddenly, glancing at me. “More than some of

  • He was never mine   Partial Truth

    Wyatt’s POVWe got in the car and I started driving. Avery stayed quiet for a few blocks, her gaze fixed outside the window, her hands resting loosely in her lap.“Wyatt,” she said finally, her voice steady in a way that immediately put me on edge. “I need to tell you something.”My grip tightened on the wheel. “What is it about?”“Pull over. Somewhere we can talk.”I found a quiet street, pulled over, and turned off the engine. The silence that followed felt heavy, pressing in from all sides.“A few weeks ago,” she began slowly, turning to face me, “I got a call. From someone, a female.”“A warning,” she continued when I didn’t respond. “The person told me not to trust you. That you don’t do anything without a reason. That whatever you’ve told me about helping…there’s more to it.”Cold chill ran down my spine.“Did they say who they were?” I asked, forcing my voice to stay even.She shook her head. “No, the line went dead before I could ask who it was.” “At first, I thought it was

  • He was never mine   Familiar Feeling

    Avery’s POVWyatt picked me up at eleven. He was right on time.I’d been looking forward to this all morning. After everything with Daniel and Maison Delacroix, I needed something that felt normal. Something steady and forward. The building represented that. A fresh start. A new chapter for Monochrome. A future I could actually plan for.I got in his car. He smiled. But something was off about it. Strained or maybe he was forcing it.I pushed the thought away. Probably just tired. We’d both been running on fumes for weeks. Between the launch and the legal battle and everything else, neither of us had slept properly in days.The drive was quieter at first, then Wyatt filled it with small talk. He asked about work, about the settlement, what comes next for Monochrome. But he watching me differently, his attention wasn’t where it should’ve been.Every now and then, I caught him looking at me. Not casually and not the way someone glances over in conversation.“Everything okay?” I aske

  • He was never mine   Decision

    Wyatt’s POVI left the hospital, got in my car and sat there with the engine running.I’d gotten what I wanted. Permission to pursue Avery without hiding it. But at what cost?Watch her, report back. Proof that she wasn’t faking it.The condition sat heavy in my chest. It felt wrong. It felt like I was already crossing a line I wouldn’t be able to come back from.But I’d agreed. Because refusing meant Richard would tell her everything himself. Blow up everything before it even had the chance to become real. And I couldn’t let that happen, not again.I drove without thinking at first, just moving through the city, trying to clear my head.But it didn’t work. Richard’s words kept replaying. “You watch her closely.” “Make sure she’s not playing you.” “Prove the amnesia is real.”I’d told him I was certain, that I’d know if she was faking it.But was I? Really?Or was I just seeing what I wanted to see? Believing what I needed to believe?I picked up my phone and sent a message to th

  • He was never mine   The Condition

    Wyatt’s POVThe line went dead.I stood in the hallway, phone still in my hand. Richard knew everything already. I walked back into Avery’s office. She looked up immediately. Concern showed on her face.“Everything okay?”No, everything is not ok. This wasn’t going to end well. “Something came up,” I said, already reaching for my coat. “I have to go.”Her brows pulled together. “What kind of something? Is it that bad?”“Family issue,” I said, still walking. “I’ll explain later.”“Wyatt…”“I’ll call you.”I left her office, closing the door softly behind me.The drive to the hospital felt endless. Every slow car in front of me made my grip tighten on the wheel.My mind kept running ahead of me, trying to figure out what I was walking into. There was no version of this conversation in my head that ended well.I got to the hospital, parked and sat in the car for a moment.What was I going to say? How was I going to explain?My phone vibrated on the seat beside me. It was a text messag

  • He was never mine   Payback time

    Wyatt’s POVThe motel was exactly the kind of shithole I expected, the kind of place the asshole would stay. Peeling paint, broken neon signs and cars that looked abandoned for months. My contact leaned against his sedan in the parking lot, smoking.“Room 12.” He flicked the cigarette away. “I trie

    Avery’s POV“Do you still love him?”The question sat between us, unanswered. I looked at Wyatt and I saw tension in his jaw, the way his hands had balled into fists at his sides, after leaving mine.“No.” The answer came out bluntly and with all honesty of me. “I don’t love him. I hate him for wh
