His Cold CEO Bonus Chapter Two: Forever
Bonus Chapter Two: ForeverPOV: Split — Elias & NoahNoahThe gala lights sparkled like stars scattered across the ballroom ceiling. Chandeliers glittered, champagne flowed, and laughter rose in elegant waves from the crowd. But for Noah, none of it mattered.Because Elias was across the room, cornered by a small group of investors, and still—still—he was looking at him.Even in a sea of tuxedos and gowns, Elias stood out. His suit was perfectly tailored, black with a subtle sheen, his tie the exact deep navy that Noah had chosen for him. His hair gleamed under the golden light, sharp jawline softened only by the faintest smile he reserved for one person.For Noah.Two years. Two years since they’d stepped out of the fire and into something they had built together. The new firm thrived, their names no longer whispered with scandal but celebrated with respect. Their story had become less about ruin and more about resilience.And yet—Elias still looked at him like he was the only thing
His Cold CEO Bonus Chapter One: The First Night
Bonus Chapter One: The First NightPOV: Split — Elias & NoahNoahHe told himself it was just another late night at the office.The spreadsheets glowed on his laptop, endless numbers blurring together until they felt like static. Outside, the city pulsed against the glass walls—headlights streaming like veins of light, skyscrapers lit up like sentinels, the hum of ambition never sleeping. Inside, though, the silence was heavy. Too heavy.Noah’s fingers hovered over the keyboard, but his pulse was racing for a different reason. Because Elias was still here.The CEO sat at the far end of the room, half-shadowed by the desk lamp. Jacket discarded, tie loosened, sleeves rolled up in a way that exposed sharp forearms and veins that caught the faint light. His hair was mussed like he’d run his hands through it a hundred times, but his posture—straight, contained, elegant—never cracked.It made Noah’s chest ache.“Why are you still here, Mr. Reyes?” Elias’s voice was low, a rasp that felt li
His Cold CEO Epilogue: Two Years Later
Epilogue: Two Years Later POV: Noah Location: Paris The café was quiet. Tucked away on a cobblestone side street in the Marais, it smelled like strong coffee and freshly baked brioche. Rain misted against the window. The morning was slow, warm. Human. Noah sat with his laptop open, a cappuccino in one hand and Elias’s scarf looped loosely around his neck. Across from him, a young couple debated over branding fonts for a new wellness app. They didn’t know who he was. Which was exactly how he liked it sometimes. Because even empires needed quiet corners. They were in Paris for a month. Elias had a string of meetings at the EMEA Innovation Forum, but Noah had turned down three speaking offers just to take a breath. They hadn’t stopped since the launch of the Blackthorn-Reyes Group. In two years, it had gone global — media, tech, ethics consulting, luxury investment. And it hadn’t collapsed. They hadn’t collapsed. If anything, they’d grown sharper. Softer. Stronger. His phon
His Cold CEO The Rise
Chapter Fifty – The Rise POV: Split — Noah & Elias Noah The press conference wasn’t held in a boardroom or ballroom. It was on the rooftop of their new headquarters. Glass. Steel. Sky. A panoramic view of the city they’d both bled for, now under their feet. Noah adjusted his collar in the reflective glass wall. Behind him, the media team adjusted sound levels. Drones buzzed overhead. The new logo shimmered on the screen behind the podium: Blackthorn-Reyes Group Built from the ashes. He felt it before he saw him—Elias’s hand settling against his lower back. “You look like power,” Elias murmured. Noah smirked. “That’s because I am.” They stood side by side as the cameras went live. Elias There were hundreds of them. Journalists. Investors. Influencers. Industry gatekeepers who’d once whispered about scandal, now leaning forward to hear the next chapter. Elias took the mic first. “I built Thorne & Vale with my own hands. But empires built alone are brittle.” He turned
His Cold CEO The Reckoning
Chapter Forty-Nine – The Reckoning POV: Noah The gala was everything Julian Marsh loved—opulence, optics, and control. Crystal chandeliers glittered overhead like a ceiling of diamonds. Velvet drapes in imperial blue cascaded from twenty-foot windows. A string quartet played something elegant and forgettable in the corner. Every inch of the ballroom was curated to perfection, like a stage set for the grandest of lies. And in the center of it all stood Julian himself. Tailored tuxedo. Wine glass in hand. Smile sharp enough to bleed. Noah stepped into the room like he was walking into enemy territory. Black suit. Blood-red tie. The color of battle. He spotted Elias by the bar, unmoving, eyes locked on him. There was tension in the set of his shoulders—like he wasn’t sure if Noah was about to win a war or walk into a trap. Noah didn’t blink. Didn’t break. It was both. He crossed the marble floor slowly, each step deliberate, like he was being watched—and he was. Conversatio
His Cold CEO Julians final move
Chapter Forty-Eight: Julian’s Final Move POV: Elias It hit him mid-meeting. A chime. A buzz. A dozen vibrating phones. All at once. The CFO’s face went pale as she looked down at her screen. Then the room fell into a hush so thick it felt padded. Elias felt it before he saw it. The blood draining from the room. The eyes. Then Marcus, legal counsel, slid his phone across the table toward Elias. HEADLINE: THE CEO WHO LET HIS BROTHER TAKE THE FALL Below that: a grainy photo from fifteen years ago. Elias, barely twenty-two. And Julian, handcuffed, shoved into the back of a patrol car. Fraud. Insider trading. Corporate cover-up. Except it had been Julian’s scheme. Julian’s signature. Julian’s mess. Elias had done what he always did — protected the company. Protected their name. But the headline made it look like he had walked free while Julian took the blame. Like he’d fed his own brother to the wolves. Elias didn’t remember how the meeting ended. All he knew
