Sebastian’s POV

By the time the summit was over, I was so irritated that I did not want to speak to anyone in the hall. The applause for Ariana and Kylan still echoed in my mind and faintly through the conference hall.

    Trust Given, Trust TestedAriana's POVI had to look for Kylan, and I found in him his study an hour later, hunched over his laptop, coordinating flight logistics and security briefings with the kind of focused intensity he used whenever he didn't want to think about something else entirely."We need to talk," I said, closing the door behind me."I'm a little busy keeping you both alive right now," he said, not looking up from the screen."Kylan."Something in my voice must have reached him, because he finally stopped typing, leaning back in his chair with visible reluctance."What do you want me to say, Ariana?""The truth would be a good start." I walked fully into the room and sat in the chair across from his desk. "You kept something this important from me for four days. That's not like you.""I told you why, right?"You told me half of it; I want full details." I held his gaze steadily. "You said some selfish part of you wasn't ready to watch me choose to go with him. That's not

    Not Running, HidingAriana's POV"You can't just book a flight to Switzerland," I said, following Sebastian through the mansion's front door, my voice sharper than I intended. "Not after everything that's happened this week.""She's dying, Ariana." He didn't slow down, already pulling his phone out, already scrolling through contacts for his pilot. "I don't have the luxury of waiting for the perfect, safe moment.""That's exactly my point. Nothing about this is safe." I caught his arm, forcing him to stop and actually look at me. "Callahan is dead. Marcus is in hiding. Someone photographed Jason sleeping in his own bed to scare us. You want to fly across the world, alone, to confront the one woman who orchestrated half of this nightmare?""She's my mother.""She's also someone who's already proven she'll use anyone, including you, to protect whatever she's hiding." My voice cracked slightly despite every effort to stay composed. "What if this is exactly what they want? What if this ph

    Whom Isabelle Answers ToSebastian's POVThe drive back to the city felt so endless.Ariana sat beside me quietly, staring at the hills we drove past outside the window while I gripped the wheel so hard that my knuckles went pale.I never knew my mom could be scared of someone more than anything else in her life.The thought kept running through my mind; it didn't make any sense to me.The thought kept circling, refusing to settle into anything I could make sense of. Isabelle Frost, who had looked me in the eye and confessed to arranging an attempted murder the way other people discussed quarterly earnings. Isabelle, who spent my childhood teaching me that fear was for the weakling."I don't understand," I said, breaking the silence between Ariana and me. The silence was roughly twenty minutes of quietness . "My whole life, she's been the one everyone was afraid of. The cold, untouchable matriarch who destroyed anyone who crossed her.""Maybe that was the role she played," Ariana sa

    Isabelle's AssistantAriana's POVThe meeting with Marcus didn't happen again It was already nine at night; the encrypted channel showed no activity, and Kylan's urgent messages got no response.By morning, Kylan's witness protection handler confirmed that someone had moved Marcus to a secure location.After some people tried to access his safe house address through a reliable database while using fake credentials.I became so speechless.The information also saidhe wass still alive but wouldn't be able to speak to anyone for his safety's sake.I think they were faster than us this time."So we lost him," Sebastian said flatly, standing in my kitchen, dark circles carved deep beneath his eyes. " He Said Right when he had the name.""We haven't lost him," I said, though my own exhaustion made the words feel thinner than I wanted. "We've lost access to him temporarily. There's a difference.""A difference that doesn't help us right now." He rubbed a hand across his face. "We need anot

    No Such Thing As SuicideAriana's POVSebastian called me before dawn, his voice hollow in a way I'd never heard from him before; even while he was in the hospital, his voice never sounded like that.What could be the problem again? I know these few days have had a lot; I was still trying to get answers.Callahan is dead.” And they think it's suicide, " he said.I sat up in bed instantly, trying hard not to wake Jason from sleep" Sebastian, slow down. Tell me everything."Ariana, he was found by six thirty, already dead, in his study room. It was a gunshot wound, and he left a note. That was his housekeeper's response."The night before, we were set to question him," I said slowly, my stomach turning cold. "That's not a coincidence." "I know." His voice cracked slightly. "I already called my forensic team. They're on site now, but the police already have jurisdiction. I don't know how much access we'll get.""I'll call Elena," I said, already reaching for my phone. "And I have someo

    Cracks In The BoardSebastian’s POVSleep never came that night.I remained in my study, the board member roster spread across my desk, twelve names staring back at me beneath the narrow pool of light from the desk lamp.Each one felt like a question I should have asked years ago. Pierce’s warning kept running through my mind, quiet andrelentless. Some decisions were made before you were even CEO.I started with the members who had joined during my father’s tenure, the ones who knew him personally and had access to whatever machinery Ashworth had built long before I inherited any of it.Whitmore first. Nothing unusual in his file beyond decades of clean board service, and his genuine shock during the vote had felt real in a way I trusted. Margaret Chen came next, her record equally clean, her support for the freeze immediate and unhesitating. Then there was Robert Callahan. My father's closest friend on the board, the man who had taught me how to read a balance sheet when I was sev
