His Billion-Dollar Mistake The Hidden Enemy
CHAPTER 57 The office felt quieter than usual that morning. Too quiet.I should have known better. Quiet was never a good sign.Reign was at his desk, shoulders rigid, eyes scanning reports with his usual intensity. But even that intensity had a slight edge—an awareness that something was lurking, waiting, unseen.I walked toward my desk, trying to act casual. “Morning,” I said softly, keeping my tone light.“Morning,” he replied without looking up. Voice clipped, controlled. But I could feel it—the undercurrent of caution.I hesitated. “Something wrong?”His dark eyes flicked up at me, sharp. “Evan’s been asking questions. Too many questions. About the company, the board… and you.”My stomach twisted. “Evan? What does he want now?”He exhaled slowly. “Something he shouldn’t. He’s testing boundaries. Seeing what he can manipulate, what he can twist. He’s always looking for leverage.”I clenched my fists under the desk. “So… this isn’t just about Ivy anymore?”He shook his head. “No.
His Billion-Dollar Mistake Confession in the Rain
CHAPTER 56 The sky had been grey all afternoon, heavy with clouds that threatened to burst at any moment.By the time I stepped out of the office, the first drops were already falling, soft and cold against the city streets.Ivy’s schemes may have retreated, but the tension hadn’t. The board meetings, the scrutiny, the lingering threats—it all weighed on me.I barely noticed Reign following close behind, umbrella in hand, dark eyes unreadable.“You shouldn’t be out here alone,” he said, voice low and smooth.I looked up at him, trying to hide the worry in my eyes. “I… needed air. To think.”He shook his head slightly. “You don’t need to think alone. Not anymore.”I swallowed, heart tightening. “I’ve been trying to… trust myself. To trust us. But it’s hard, Reign. With everything we’ve faced…”He reached for my hand but didn’t touch, hovering just above my fingers. “I know. And I get that. But you’re not alone. Not now. Not ever. You never were.”A shiver ran down my spine; whether fr
His Billion-Dollar Mistake Strength in Numbers
CHAPTER 55 The morning was brisk, the sunlight slicing through the office windows in sharp beams that lit up every polished surface.I arrived early, the quiet hum of computers and the occasional tapping of keyboards filling the space. It was calm, but that calm was deceptive. After the tests of trust, the board’s scrutiny, and Ivy’s relentless scheming, calm never lasted long.Reign was already at his office, dark eyes scanning reports with that familiar intensity. The moment he looked up and caught my gaze, a faint smile tugged at his lips—a private acknowledgment that we were in this together.“Good morning,” I said softly, keeping my tone measured.“Morning,” he replied, voice low, steady, magnetic. “Are you ready?”I nodded, straightening my posture. “As ready as I’ll ever be. Today, we face them—together.”His gaze softened for just a moment. “Together.”The boardroom doors loomed ahead, imposing and polished, a reminder of the battles we had fought and the ones still lingering
His Billion-Dollar Mistake The Test of Trust
CHAPTER 54 The morning light cut through the office windows in golden slats, but it did little to ease the tension that had returned.After the proposal, I thought we might get a day—or even just an hour—of peace. I was naïve.The board were already waiting, their expressions carefully neutral, but their eyes sharp. Curious. Suspicious. Ivy’s fingerprints were all over this; I could feel it.Reign entered first, commanding and controlled, but his dark eyes flickered to mine for a brief moment, and I knew we were on the same page.“Morning,” he said quietly, voice low but firm. “Stay close. We handle this together.”I nodded, swallowing hard. “Together.”As we approached the boardroom, the air seemed heavier. Ivy wasn’t there—yet. But her influence hung over the table like a shadow.“Good morning, Reign. Maya,” said the chairman, voice clipped but polite. “We’d like to discuss… certain decisions you’ve made recently. Including…” His gaze shifted to me. “…Ms Collins’ access and influen
His Billion-Dollar Mistake Unexpected Proposal
CHAPTER 53The morning felt heavier than usual. Not with tension, but with the weight of anticipation. The office hummed with activity, but I could feel it—something shifting, almost imperceptibly, like the calm before another storm.Reign was already at his office, reviewing a thick stack of documents. His dark eyes were sharp, focused, calculating. But beneath it, I sensed something different today. Something personal. Something deliberate.I knocked lightly on the doorframe. “Morning,” I said, voice soft.He looked up, smile faint but magnetic. “Morning. Come in.”I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. The air between us was charged, thick with unspoken words and lingering tension from the past weeks. Ivy’s shadow had been pushed back, but her influence had left its mark.“I was going over the quarterly reports,” he said, not looking at me directly. “But… I also need to talk to you about something else.”I raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Something else?”He finally set
His Billion-Dollar Mistake A Quiet Evening
CHAPTER 52 The office was quiet—finally. The hum of computers, the occasional ringing phone, the muted chatter of remaining staff—it all felt like a lull after a storm.I walked slowly toward the terrace, heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The city lights spilled across the glass walls, golden and electric, painting the skyline with a calm I hadn’t felt in weeks.Reign was already there, leaning against the railing, the night reflected in his dark eyes. His presence was magnetic, quiet, but commanding. Even in the soft glow of city lights, he carried the weight of everything that had happened—the board, Ivy, the chaos—and yet… there was something lighter in him now. Something human.“You’re staring again,” he said softly, turning his gaze to me. His voice carried that familiar low intensity that made my pulse skip.“I’m just… taking it in,” I replied, keeping my tone casual, though my chest felt tight. “The office, the city… and you.”His lips tugged into a faint, amus
