Audrey’s phone vibrated in her palm before the private elevator reached the lobby.

She almost ignored it. Her jaw ached from clenching, and the tension in her shoulders hadn't eased since she'd left the boardroom.

"Audrey Sinclair."

"Miss Sinclair, this is Hélène, Madame Valmont's assistant." The woman's voice was polished and unhurried. "Madame is staying at Hotel Moreau this week. She would like you to join her for dinner in her suite at eight. Just the two of you, if possible."

  • I Was His Secret Wife, Now I'm His Nightmare    A Held Email Is Not a Missing Email

    Marcus remained calm when Audrey entered his office.He was seated behind his desk, with his hands folded in front of him."Valmont will be transferred to Diana," he announced.Audrey stopped in front of his desk."Dad, I don't think that's necessary.""This is a business decision, Audrey. The client has expressed concerns about how the account is being handled, and we need someone who can maintain the relationship while the issue is being resolved.""But I didn't receive their update. I couldn't have included instructions I wasn't aware of.""According to Roux, the email was sent.""I'm not disputing that it was sent. I'm telling you that it never reached me." Audrey took a careful breath, trying not to let her frustration get the better of her. "Let me check the shared inbox. Give me ten minutes, and I'll find out what happened."Marcus watched her for a moment before giving a small nod.Audrey didn't waste any time arguing further. She turned and walked out of his office, heading s

  • I Was His Secret Wife, Now I'm His Nightmare    I Wasn’t Aware of That Update

    Audrey arrived at the conference room at ten sharp, carrying her presentation materials and a tablet containing the final version of the campaign.Valmont's team was already seated along one side of the long conference table. Roux, their CFO, occupied the middle seat, with several senior members of her team positioned on either side of her.Audrey's team had taken the opposite side, and as she settled into her seat, Carla gave her an encouraging nod.Everything was ready.Valmont was the most important project Audrey had handled since joining Sinclair, and she had invested the past thirty days making sure every part of the campaign reflected what the company needed. It was a significant opportunity, not just for Sinclair but for her own position within the company and her career.She had spent countless hours reviewing the research, adjusting the projections and making sure the strategy could appeal to a younger audience without completely abandoning Valmont's identity.She knew the p

  • I Was His Secret Wife, Now I'm His Nightmare    You Have the Code. Use It.

    Audrey stood outside Roman's front door for a few seconds, staring at it as she adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder. She had been there before, and for a moment, she remembered the last time she had rung the bell.Instead, this time she entered the passcode, and the lock clicked open almost immediately.She stepped inside, slipped the door shut behind her and stood in the hallway, taking a moment to gather herself after the long day she had just had.She had rung that bell once, weeks ago, and Roman had scolded her for it. You have the code. Use it.Apparently, he had meant it.Footsteps sounded from the end of the hallway, and when Roman appeared, he stopped briefly at the sight of her. His eyes moved from her face to the hand still resting against the door before returning to her eyes. He didn't say anything, but Audrey noticed the slight change in his expression, the tension around his face easing as though her presence had taken something off his mind."Hi," she greeted

    Diana knocked softly on Marcus's office door."Come in."She pushed the door open and walked inside.Marcus was sitting behind his desk, with a folder open in front of him. He wasn't reading it. His eyes were fixed on something on his laptop, and his expression was as stern as ever."Dad."He looked up. "Diana."She walked over and placed a cup of tea beside his laptop."I thought you might need this."Marcus glanced at the cup. "Thank you."Diana smiled and settled into the chair opposite him."I saw the news this morning. Everyone is talking about it.""I'm sure they are.""You handled everything beautifully." She folded her hands on her lap. "I honestly don't think anyone else could have made Derek Lockwood withdraw that lawsuit and issue a public apology. Not even the lawyers."Marcus didn't respond. He simply picked up the cup and took a sip."I did what I had to do," he said after a moment. "This wasn't about Audrey. It was about Sinclair."Diana nodded. "Of course.""If Lockwoo

  • I Was His Secret Wife, Now I'm His Nightmare    This Isn’t Over

    The news broke at seven in the morning.By the time Audrey arrived at Sinclair Group, every news outlet had already published the same story.Derek Lockwood had dropped all charges against her.He had also issued a public apology, admitting that he was wrong to accuse his wife of infidelity and that filing the lawsuit had been a mistake. The divorce proceedings would continue privately, without a court hearing or any financial claims against her.Audrey sat behind her desk, staring at the news on her laptop.She read the article once. Then again.She opened another news outlet and found the same report. Even the entertainment blogs had picked up the story.Three days ago, she had been preparing to face a public hearing. Her accounts had been frozen, her reputation dragged through the mud, and every gossip column had been ready to paint her as an unfaithful wife who had betrayed her husband.Now, Derek Lockwood was the one apologizing.A smile slowly spread across her face.It was a ge

  • I Was His Secret Wife, Now I'm His Nightmare    I’m Not Ending Things with Roman

    The car door shut behind Audrey.Corey pulled away from the curb, merging into the traffic without looking back.Roman sat beside her, his hands resting on his knees. He stared out of the window, his expression giving nothing away.Audrey glanced at him.He hadn't said a word since they left the Lockwood residence. Not when Corey opened the car door for them. Not even when she settled into the back seat. Nothing.It was unusual. Roman always had something to say, even when he chose to keep his thoughts to himself."Roman.""Hmm?"She turned towards him. "What do you want?"He shifted his gaze from the window to her. "You're asking me?""I'm asking what you want. Not what you think I should do."For a moment, he studied her face. "I don't want you to end it."Audrey waited, but he said nothing more."That's all?""That's all." His voice remained calm. "I'm not going to ask you to choose me over your reputation. Whatever you decide, I'll accept it. I won't make this harder for you."She
