I REGRET GETTING MARRIED TO A MOMMY'S BOY CEO chapter 48
The private holding room behind the grand auditorium was suffocatingly quiet.Julianna stood near the arched stained-glass windows, her pristine ivory jacket trembling as she stared down at the polished floorboards. Baron Henri sat in a high-backed leather chair, his hands clamped over the silver head of his cane, his chest rising and falling in deep, ragged breaths. Count Philippe stood by the heavy mahogany doors, his face an unreadable mask of iron."You used an executive clearance code," Henri whispered, his raspy voice shaking with a contained fury. "To fabricate a fraud report against a guest of this house... on the open floor of the European Summit.""Grandfather, please!" Julianna gasped, dropping to her knees beside his chair, tears of panic streaming down her cheeks. "She is an outsider! I was trying to protect what I’ve spent my entire life building for this family! You can't just give her everything!"Henri looked down at her, his expression a bitter mix of disappointment

The grand auditorium of the Geneva Financial Center buzzed with hushed, high-stakes energy. Over two hundred of Europe's top fund managers, Swiss regulatory officials, and family office heads filled the tiered velvet seating, awaiting the opening address of the St. Laurent Solstice Summit.On the main stage, Baron Henri de la Tour sat at the center of the executive panel, his carved wooden cane resting between his knees. To his right sat Julianna, looking radiant and composed in an ivory wool suit.Julianna’s eyes scanned the audience with quiet, sociopathic satisfaction. She isn't here, Julianna thought, taking a delicate sip from her glass of water. The Swiss Authority's emergency hold hit her desk two hours ago. By now, the low-born clerk is in her hotel room, panicking over lawyers while her reputation burns.She leaned close to Henri, offering a soft, attentive smile. "The regulatory panel is ready to begin, Grandfather. Shall we open the floor?"Before Henri could speak, the mas

The hotel room in Geneva felt suffocating, despite the brisk Alpine draft seeping through the balcony doors.On the bed lay the cream invitation, the side-by-side photos from the Swiss society pages, and the sudden, damning regulatory alert on my phone: Emergency Audit Hold Issued by Swiss Financial Authority.My chest heaved as a cold, sharp rage replaced the lingering disbelief of the night before. I had flown across the Atlantic thinking I was expanding Vance & Sterling, completely oblivious to the spiderweb I was stepping into.I grabbed my phone, pressed Martha's speed dial, and held the receiver to my ear. My hands were shaking, not with fear, but with an overwhelming feeling of betrayal.The line rang three times before Martha’s soft, hesitant voice answered. "Emma? Sweetheart, is everything okay over there?""Who is Beatrice de la Tour, Mom?" I demanded, my voice cutting through the speaker like a blade.Silence. Heavy, suffocating, absolute silence deadened the phone line. I

The grand suite at the Hotel des Bergues was bathed in the soft, amber glow of late-evening lamplight.In the adjoining room, Clara slept peacefully in her crib, her small chest rising and falling in a rhythmic, easy quiet. Out on the private balcony overlooking Lake Geneva, the cold Alpine night air did little to cool the fire burning behind my eyes.I stood leaning against the stone balustrade, still in my emerald gown, staring out at the black water reflecting the city lights.Behind me, the suite door opened softly. David stepped out onto the balcony, carrying two steaming mugs of black tea. He handed one to me, his dark eyes filled with a quiet, unshakeable concern as he leaned his shoulder against the stone column."I checked the local press feeds," David said quietly, his tone laced with disbelief. "The Swiss society journals are already running side-by-side photos of you and Julianna de la Tour. They're calling it an 'uncanny genetic anomaly' and speculating about long-lost di

The grand ballroom went so still you could hear the soft fizzing of champagne bubbles in crystal flutes.I kept my spine straight, my breath slow and even, accepting the silent stares of European nobility with the same unyielding composure I used in boardrooms. Beside me, David moved with easy, grounded confidence, his presence an invisible shield against the sudden shift in the room's energy."Emma," David murmured under his breath, his eyes subtly scanning the crowd. "Don't look now, but half the room just forgot how to breathe.""Let them stare, David," I replied quietly, keeping my gaze fixed on the central rotunda. "We came for the infrastructure briefing."Then the crowd parted at the base of the marble staircase, and my words died in my throat.A woman was descending the steps. She wore an emerald gown of nearly the exact shade as mine, her dark hair swept up in a flawless twist. But it wasn't the dress that sent a sudden, ice-cold shock tearing through my chest.It was her fac

The descent into Geneva was marked by a sharp, crystal-clear morning light reflecting off the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.In the cabin of the commercial flight, Clara sat by the oval window, chattering enthusiastically at the snow and pointing her small, gloved finger toward the clouds. At nearly three years old, she was bright, observant, and possessed a quiet intensity that matched her mother's.David Miller leaned across the aisle, handing Clara a small wooden figurine of an owl."She handled the overnight flight better than most executives I know," David said with a warm, easy smile, his dark camera bag tucked securely beneath his seat."She's resilient," I said softly, smoothing Clara’s thick brown curls. "She gets used to moving.""Are you ready for tonight?" David asked, his expression shifting to something more grounded and protective. "Vance & Sterling might have sent you as their representative, but high-society functions in Geneva are a different kind of battlefield."I
