Bailey's POV

"If you route those supply lines through the Dublin terminal without locking down the secondary encryption keys, you are leaving our entire European subsidiary exposed to a hostile backdoor takeover," I said, leaning over the wide mahogany desk and pressing my palm flat against the glowing glass display terminal.

  • His Contract, Her Revenge    Fireplace Warmth

    Chapter 87Bailey's POV"If you set me down on that rug like a sack of firewood after dragging me through a snowstorm, I am going to make you sleep on the library sofa for a week," I said, a breathless laugh escaping my lips as Raven kicked the heavy oak door shut behind us with his boot.The living room of the coastal villa was an absolute sanctuary of light and heat. A massive cedar fire roared inside the deep stone hearth, casting dancing amber shadows across the vaulted wooden ceiling and filling the air with the rich, comforting scent of burning wood.Raven didn't drop me. Instead, he carried me straight to the oversized cream cashmere sofa parked directly in front of the flames. Slowly, deliberately, he lowered me down onto the cushions, but he didn't step back. His tall frame hovered over mine, his hands braced against the back of the sofa, trapping me in the warm circle of his arms.A sudden, sharp tension sparked between us in the quiet room. My heart hammered against my ribs

  • His Contract, Her Revenge    Snow on the Coast

    Chapter 86Bailey's POV"If you think I am walking out into freezing weather without my boots just because you want a romantic stroll through the garden, you have lost your mind," I said, my voice cutting sharply through the quiet stillness of the hallway.Raven stopped near the double glass doors leading out to the patio, his dark coat hanging open over his shoulders. He didn't turn around immediately, but the broad line of his back radiated a stubborn, quiet defiance. "The ground isn't even frozen yet, Bailey. It's just a light dusting. If you stay cooped up inside every time the weather changes, you're going to turn this house into a fortress again."A sharp, frustrating tension flared hot in my chest, clashing with the warmth of the indoor hallway. It wasn't about the boots, and we both knew it. For two hours inside, surrounded by warm laughter, family, and flickering candles, a quiet panic had been building behind my ribs. The snow on this coast was rare—a sudden twist of nature

  • His Contract, Her Revenge    Family Reunion at the Villa

    Chapter 85Bailey's POV"If we move the dining arrangement out to the main patio, the draft coming off the ocean cliffs will freeze the roast before anyone takes a bite," I said, setting down a heavy silver tray on the kitchen counter with a sharp clatter.The main kitchen of the coastal villa was buzzing with activity, filled with the savory scents of roasted turkey, fresh rosemary, and warm apple tart. Yet, my chest felt tight with a sudden, frustrating knot of worry. Maya had just arrived and was upstairs helping Evelyn unpack, Viktor was pacing the outer courtyard checking security posts, and the entire holiday gathering felt like a fragile house of cards that one wrong move could knock down.Raven walked into the kitchen, his tall frame instantly cutting through the noise. He was dressed in a casual black sweater with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows, but his face carried that unyielding, commanding edge he used in the boardroom."The patio glass is fully sealed, Bailey," Rave

  • His Contract, Her Revenge    Closing the Vault

    Chapter 84Bailey's POV"If we give this original handwritten sheet to the state archivist without making a certified copy for our own legal vault, we are trusting a public agency to guard the final piece of Frank's history," I said, my fingers pressing hard against the thick paper resting on the glass desk.The private reception room of the Central Bank sub-basement was cold and clinical, smelling of polished granite and heavy air filters. Across the small table, the state archivist stood waiting with a neutral, professional expression, his gloved hands hovering near a velvet-lined document box. Beside me, Raven leaned back against the edge of the desk, his broad shoulders blocking the hallway light, his dark grey eyes fixed on the paper with a quiet, dangerous intensity.A sudden, sharp tension flared between us in the small room. My heart beat fast against my ribs, driven by a stubborn, lingering urge to hold on. For eight years, keeping physical proof of every threat had been my o

  • His Contract, Her Revenge    The Bank Vault Search

    Chapter 83Bailey's POV"If we let the federal agents turn those dual keys before Viktor’s team finishes sweeping the biometric scanner on the door, we are walking blind into whatever trap Frank left behind," I said, my voice barely a whisper against the cold marble wall of the sub-basement corridor.The air inside the underground vault facility of the Central Bank was thick, heavy, and freezing cold, carrying the damp scent of concrete and old metal. Standing beside me in the dim fluorescent light, the lead federal agent checked his watch with a look of growing annoyance, his hand resting near the holster at his belt. Two armed officers stood behind him, their heavy boots shifting nervously against the polished floor.Raven didn't step back. His broad shoulders remained squared, his dark tailored coat unbuttoned, creating a solid barrier between me and the heavy steel door of Box 812.A sharp, familiar friction flared hot between us in the narrow hallway. My pulse hammered violently

Standing across the table from me, Raven didn't immediately concede. He braced his hands against the edge of the polished wood, his tall frame leaning forward, his dark tailored suit jacket pulling tight across his broad shoulders. His dark grey eyes narrowed, locking onto mine with the sharp, unyielding intensity that made rival executives tremble across three continents.A sudden, sharp tension sparked between us in the quiet room. It wasn't the cold friction of a corporate dispute; it was the intense, electric clash of two unyield
