I AGREED TO MY HUSBAND'S OPEN MARRIAGE RULES CHAPTER 141
MIACHEL'S POVThe satisfaction was a cold, clean thing in my chest. I watched the committee head make the announcement, saw the shock on David’s face turn to rage, then to a kind of sputtering, public humiliation as security escorted him out. The applause felt distant. I already knew. I’d known there would be foul play. The organizers were in David’s pocket. But I’d found their dirt—financial skeletons, hidden affairs, the kind of leverage that makes men go pale. I didn’t threaten them into giving me the win. I made them see that giving it to the best candidate was their only clean way out. And that was still me.The crowd swarmed us. Handshakes, backslaps, empty congratulations. I accepted them with a tight smile, my eyes tracking Stacy. She was glowing, laughing with a group near the champagne fountain. The fear from the alcove was gone, replaced by a brilliant, triumphant light. It made my chest ache.My assistant, a sharp-eyed woman named Iris, materialized at my elbow. “It’s hand

STACY'S POVA low, cold laugh bubbled up in my throat. I let it out, letting it hang in the air between us. His thumb was still on my lip, his grip on my arm a vise. He thinks he’s won. He thinks I’m that girl.I leaned into his touch, just a fraction. Saw his pupils widen. Yes. That’s it. Believe it.“You’re right,” I whispered, my voice shaking on purpose. I let my eyes go wide, scared. “I am scared. Of you. Of losing everything.”A triumphant gleam flashed in his eyes. His thumb stroked my lip again, possessive. “Smart girl. Finally seeing reason. It’s just one night. A small price.”I nodded, a quick, jerky motion. “A small price. For Michael’s company. For mine.” I swallowed, making it look difficult. “You… you promise? You’ll call it off? The takeover?”“My word is my bond,” he said, the lie smooth as silk. He leaned in, his breath hot against my cheek. “I’ll be generous. I might even keep you on after. A personal assistant. You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Being close to real pow

STACY'S POVThe memory hit me like a physical slap, sharp and sudden, stealing the air from the glittering room.That office. Small, too warm, smelling of cheap coffee and ambition. My hands had been shaking as I laid out the business plan, my voice too bright, too eager. He’d sat behind a big desk, not saying a word, just watching me. His eyes—the same piercing, cold eyes now scanning the banquet hall—hadn’t looked at the charts. They’d traced the neckline of my thrift-store blouse, the curve of my hip in my only good skirt.“A compelling proposal, Stacy,” he’d said finally, leaning back. His voice was smooth, like oil. “You have passion. I like that in a partner.”He’d promised funding. A real investment. My heart had soared. Then his hand had covered mine on the desk. His thumb stroked my knuckles. “Of course, partnerships require… intimacy. Trust. A meeting of minds. And bodies.”The meaning had dripped, cold and slimy, into the space between us. I’d jerked my hand back. “I’m just

STACY'S POVThe warmth from Michael’s protectiveness still hummed under my skin like a second heartbeat. He’s looking out for me. Not in a way that felt smothering, but solid. Like a fortress at my back. It made me happy, in a deep, quiet way I wasn’t used to. That happiness, though, it fueled something else—a fierce, burning resolve.He’d worked so hard for this bidding event. Years of building Sotheby Holdings from nothing. I wouldn’t let him lose it. Not over my company’s drama. And not to his snake of a cousin.So I took care of it. All of it. The final preparations, the security, the traps. For the rival company sniffing for blood. For the cousin hiding in the shadows. I set the stage, and I made sure every piece was exactly where it needed to be.The day of the bidding arrived, sharp and clear. A perfect day for a war.“You’re sure about the arrangements for Millie?” Michael asked, his voice a low rumble as he straightened his cufflinks in the mirror of our bedroom.I finished c

MIACHEL'S POVThe drive home felt longer than it should have. The city lights blurred past the car window, but I didn’t really see them. My mind was stuck in that grainy video feed, hearing those cold voices plot Stacy’s ruin.They see her as incompetent. The thought was a hot coal in my gut. After everything she’s built. After surviving Matt, the kidnapping, the boardroom… they just see a woman to be pushed aside.My hands tightened on the steering wheel. I’d told my assistant to keep digging, to track every shell corporation, every payment. But I was driving away from the operation. I needed to see her. I just didn’t know how to explain what I’d found.How do you tell the woman you love that a pack of vultures is circling, ready to pick apart the life she’s fought for? That my own blood might be funding it? She’d be heartbroken. And furious. The sadness would be worse—that deep, quiet hurt of betrayal.She worked so hard to get here. And someone just wants to take it.The anger boil

MIACHEL'S POVThe house was too quiet after Stacy left. I stood in the empty kitchen, my hands flat on the cool granite counter. The echo of her voice—I’ll handle it, Michael, just let me go—was still ringing in my head.She’d wanted to come. To follow Aris herself. To be part of the hunt.I told her no.It wasn’t about protection this time. It was about opportunity. My cousin had slithered out of every legal trap I’d set. Paper trails, witnesses, contracts—he had layers of insulation. The only way to catch him was to get him in the act, raw and unfiltered. And that required methods that weren’t exactly… corporate.Methods I didn’t want Stacy to see.Not because she couldn’t handle it. She’d proven she could. But because I wanted to keep that part of myself separate from her. The part that operated in shadows, that used fists and threats as tools. She’d seen glimpses, but the full picture… I wanted to shield her from that. Maybe that was selfish. Maybe it was stupid.But it’s my only

Clara's POVI lay on the cold floor of the stationary shop, my hand pressed dramatically against my belly, tears streaming down my face. Perfect. The performance was flawless. People gathered around, their faces etched with concern and horror as they stared at the blood on my arm.It was just a scr

Stacy's POVI stood there, my back pressed against the wall, Michael's solid presence in front of me like a shield. Relief flooded through me. He came. He saved me again. But right on its heels came another feeling—shame.I'm always being rescued. Like some helpless damsel in a fairy tale. How many

Stacy's POVMy head throbbed with a dull, pulsing pain. I tried to open my eyes, but the light was too bright, stabbing into my skull. Everything felt heavy—my limbs, my eyelids, even my thoughts.Where am I?Slowly, awareness crept back. I was lying on something soft. A bed. The sheets beneath me w

Stacy's POVBefore I could say anything, Michael stepped forward, positioning himself between me and Matt. His voice was calm, controlled, but with an edge of steel underneath."You have no right to demand anything from her," Michael said, his piercing eyes locked on Matt. "Let go of her wrist. Now
