2025-09-26 01:08:47Sebastian's POV
Sebastian replayed the video three more times while parked on the shoulder of EDSA, traffic hissing past like a distant ocean. Every freeze-frame of Ocean’s face stabbed at him: the set of her jaw, the glint of tears that hadn’t stolen her fire. She looked terrified but unbroken—and that broke him more than if she’d begged.His hands trembled as he shoved the phone into the dash mount. “Whoever you are,” he muttered under his breath, “you just made

ledger that’s been digitalized since before you learned how to launder your first million, Victor?”I sat in the command center of the Valkyrie vessel, my eyes fixed on the array of monitors flickering with the emerald glow of decrypted data streams. My hands were steady on the console, though every nerve in my body was screaming for the visceral release of a physical hunt. The gray boat carrying Isabel was a ghost on the radar, but their finances were screaming. I didn't need to chase them through the waves when I could starve them in the cloud.“The Ledger isn't just data, Sebastian,” Victor’s voice buzzed through the localized frequency, sounding tinny and arrogant. “It’s the DNA of every transaction the Collective has ever made. If you touch it, you trigger a global liquidity crisis. You won’t just be bankrupting us. You’ll be resetting the world’s clock to zero.”“Then I hope you’ve been practicing your bartering skills,” I replied, my fingers flying across the haptic keyboard.
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 171 The Day I Became Dangerous (Ocean POV
"If you pull that trigger, you aren't just killing a man... you are deleting the only insurance policy that keeps your entire syndicate from being vaporized by a thermal liquidator before the sun hits the horizon."I stood on the glass mezzanine of the Volkov Velez boardroom, looking down at the circle of men who thought they still owned the air I breathed. The air was thick with the scent of expensive ozone and the metallic tang of hidden weapons. The sniper’s laser remained a steady, blood red dot on my father’s forehead, but I didn't look at Alejandro. I couldn't. If I looked at him, I might be a daughter, and right now, the world required me to be a sovereign. My hand was steady as I held the handset, my thumb hovering over the final command that would either save us or bury us in the wreckage of the corporate world."You’re playing a desperate hand, Ocean," the hooded figure on the bow of the gray boat shouted through the massive floor to ceiling monitors that lined the room. The
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 170 When Control Breaks (Sebastian POV)
"I didn't authorize a strike on Portugal, Victor, and if you think that digital feed is enough to make me hesitate while I’m standing over your master’s dying throat, you’ve fundamentally misunderstood who is holding the leverage here."I gripped the edge of the silver briefcase so hard the metal bit into my palm. My other hand remained locked around Elio’s neck, pinning him to the heat-blasted concrete of the refinery roof. Below us, the fire roared, a hungry beast devouring the skeletons of the storage tanks. On the screen, Marcus Hale... a man I had personally seen sink into the black depths of the Mediterranean months ago... adjusted his lapel. He looked comfortable. He looked at home in the one place on earth I had designated as a sanctuary for Ocean’s future."Authorization is a relic of your former regime, Sebastian," Victor’s voice crackled through the briefcase speakers, sounding tinny against the howl of the wind and the rhythmic beat of the drifting helicopter’s dying rotor
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 169 Queen’s Gambit (Ocean POV)
"Victor, if you don't take your hand off that trigger right now, I will ensure that the last thing you see is the collapse of everything you’ve spent your life guarding.”I stood on the deck of the interceptor boat, my feet planted wide to absorb the vibration of the idling engines. The salt air whipped my hair across my face, stinging my eyes, but I didn't blink. Across the narrow gap of churning water, Victor Alvarez stood on the secondary vessel, his silhouette as rigid as the barrel of the thermal detonator he held. Behind me, I could feel my mother’s shallow, terrified breathing and the heavy, silent presence of my father, Alejandro. But my focus was entirely on the man who had been Sebastian’s shadow for years. The betrayal didn't sting... it burned. It was a cold, efficient heat that clarified every tactical thought in my head.“The world is shifting, Ocean,” Victor replied, his voice devoid of its usual rhythmic professionalism. It sounded hollow, like metal scraping on stone.
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 168 The Old Monster’s Smile (Sebastian POV)
“Did you really think Mateo was the one in charge, Sebastian, or has fatherhood already turned your brain into overpriced organic mush?”I heard Elio Carranza’s voice before I saw him. The sound grated against the interior of my skull like a rusty blade. I was halfway up the tilted catwalk, my fingers digging into the scorched metal, my body positioned as a human shield for Ocean. The white gas from the ruptured tanks was beginning to dissipate, replaced by the thick, oily black smoke of a refinery that was slowly turning into a funeral pyre. Ocean was pressed against my side, her hand gripping the hilt of the pistol I’d given her, her eyes scanning the haze with a lethal focus that almost made me forget she was carrying our future.“Elio,” I spat, the name tasting like copper and ash. I didn't look back at the door where Mateo had disappeared with Isabel. My world had narrowed down to the man standing twenty feet away on the crumbling mezzanine. He was holding a small, matte black de
Her Body, His Signature (A CEO's X Deal) Chapter 167 I’ll Face Him (Ocean POV)
“You’re really going to sit there and tell me that after everything we just saw on that pier, after a dead man literally rose from the grave to hand us a war map, you still think you’re going into that refinery alone?”I didn't turn around to look at Sebastian. I didn't have to. I could hear the jagged edge of his voice, the way it caught on the raw nerves of a decade’s worth of betrayal. He was pacing the length of the black sedan’s interior... a caged lion with a predator’s grace and a husband’s terror. My fingers were steady as I checked the chamber of the compact pistol Alejandro had handed me. The metal was cold, biting into my skin, a grounding reminder that the heiress who once cried in boardrooms was dead and buried.“It isn't a suicide mission, Sebastian, it’s a surgical strike,” I said, finally meeting his gaze in the dim light of the moving car. “Mateo doesn't want to kill me. He wants to claim me. He wants the biological key he thinks I’m carrying, and he wants the satisfa

Sebastian’s POV The alarm wailed through the safehouse like a scream. Red lights pulsed across the walls, bleeding into the darkness. For a moment, all Sebastian could hear was Ocean’s uneven breathing beneath him—the sound that grounded him even as chaos erupted. “Stay down,” he ordered, voice

(Ocean's POV) The elevator doors slid open with a muted ding, and Ocean stepped into the corridor, her heels clicking faintly against the polished floor. The office building had been Sebastian’s fortress—supposedly untouchable, a palace of glass and steel—and yet, the image of that photograph still
