I made my way through the crowd, barely paying attention to where I was going. My thoughts were still a mess when the edge of my gown caught beneath my heel.

Before I could react, my balance gave way.

A hand closed around my arm, stopping me from falling, but my heel slipped again, sending me forward.

Another arm wrapped around my waist, steadying me before I could lose my balance completely.

Slowly, I lifted my gaze.

The first thing I noticed was how tall he was.

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 37: The Hidden Investor

    Damian Pov “Mr. Cole.” Ava's voice came from behind me. I glanced over my shoulder as she hurried after me, her tablet in one hand. “There’s an urgent matter regarding Sterling Silver Corporation.” My hand moved to the cuff of my shirt as I continued down the hallway. “What happened?” “The agreement hasn’t been signed.” My gaze shifted to her. “It was supposed to be finalized before the gala.” “Yes, sir. Sterling Silver has put the signing on hold.” I pushed open my office door and stepped inside. Shrugging off my suit jacket, I hung it on the coat stand near the wall, then adjusted my collar once before turning back to her. “Why?” “They received another proposal.” I paused. “For the fifty percent stake?” “Yes, sir.” My jaw tightened. “What company?” Ava glanced at her tablet. “Ashford Holdings.” My hand fell from my collar. “Ashford?” “Yes, sir.” I turned fully toward her. “They are competing for the same stake?” “They submitted their proposal this morning.” I walked to my

    Ariana Pov I was packing the last of my things into the cardboard box when I heard my name. “Ariana.” I turned and found the HR manager standing a few feet away. “Yes, sir?” He approached my desk and stopped in front of me. His expression had lost the sternness from earlier. “I’m sorry for what happened. I owe you an apology.” I lowered the shirt in my hand. “An apology?” “IT recovered your original files. They confirmed that you completed the assignment.” My eyes widened. “They recovered my files?” “Yes. They were created and saved yesterday. IT was able to retrieve them.” My fingers loosened around the shirt. “So I wasn’t fired because I failed?” “No.” He shook his head. “Your termination has been reversed. You still have your position.” A breath escaped me. “Thank you, sir.” “There’s more.” His gaze shifted toward my computer. “Your designs were reviewed after the files were recovered. You did an excellent job. The quality was impressive, especially considering the lev

    Ariana Pov “What am I supposed to tell the client?” The HR manager's palm struck the desk, making the pen beside his laptop jump. I straightened in my chair. “Sir?” “A high-profile client entrusted this company with an important project, Ariana. It was assigned to you, and now there are no designs to present.” “I had designs.” I gripped the edge of my chair. “I completed the work yesterday and followed every specification in the brief.” His eyes narrowed. “Then where are they?” My fingers twisted together. “I don't know. The sketches I found this morning weren't mine, and the files I saved on my computer were gone.” He leaned back, studying me. “So your work disappeared, and the sketches left behind weren't yours?” I nodded. “Yes, sir.” A humorless smile crossed his face. “Save me the excuses, Ariana.” My brows pulled together. “I'm not making excuses.” “You accepted the assignment, failed to deliver it, and now your work has conveniently disappeared.” “I didn't fail.” His

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 34 : The Missing Designs

    Ariana POV“Ariana, where are the designs?” I looked up from my computer. Tessa stood beside my desk, one hand resting against the edge of my workstation. “I have them with me.” I reached for my handbag and pulled out the folder containing my sketches. “I finished them already.” I placed it on the desk in front of her, expecting at least a word of approval after the hours I had spent perfecting them.Tessa grabbed the folder and pulled it toward herself. “These are the high-profile client designs I asked you to have ready today?” “Yes. They’re done.” “Perfect.” She opened the folder. “Let me see what you managed to do.” I moved closer as she turned the first page, but the moment I saw the sketch, the confidence drained from me.The collection was the same one I had worked on yesterday, but the proportions were different, the stone placements had been altered, and even the color settings were wrong. My brows drew together. This looks like my design, but this isn't my work. I took the f

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 33 : Something Doesn’t Add Up

    Ariana Pov Someone gently tapped my shoulder. I stirred and slowly lifted my head, blinking several times as I tried to figure out where I was. My neck felt stiff from the position I had been sleeping in. I rubbed my eyes, still groggy. I hadn’t even realized when I had fallen asleep. “Who is that?” I muttered, looking around before my eyes settled on the person standing beside my desk. Jonathan. “Hey,” I said sleepily. “It’s already past eight,” he said. “You should head home. Or do you intend to sleep here on your first day?” My eyes widened as I turned toward the clock. “Oh my God.” I quickly looked at the sketches scattered across my desk and started gathering them. I stacked the papers neatly and slid them into my folder before picking up the file Tessa had given me earlier and carefully tucking it into my bag. “Goodnight, Ariana.” “Goodnight, Jonathan.” He turned and left. I zipped my bag and swung it over my shoulder before taking one last look around the office

  • Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally    Chapter 32: Behind the Scenes

    Ariana Pov I spread the client’s instructions across the desk and picked up my pencil. I started with the necklace, following the measurements and proportions specified in the brief. The client wanted something elegant and refined, so I kept the lines clean and delicate. I sketched the setting, then added the required stones according to the specifications. I paused to study the design before adjusting the curve slightly. I rubbed my fingers together before reaching for my pencil again. I worked through each requirement, filling one sheet after another with sketches. Eventually, I leaned back and glanced around the department. Several desks were empty, while a few designers were already making their way back from lunch. I looked at the clock. It was already past lunchtime, and my stomach growled. I placed my pencil down, grabbed my handbag, and headed toward the cafeteria. I didn’t want to be gone for long, so I quickly bought something to eat and a few snacks I could keep besi
