CHAPTER 13

The next day,Kate sat at the edge of the bed, fully dressed, her eyes locked on the clock. She hadn't slept. Not after the fight. Not after everything William had said. Her phone buzzed. She picked it up without checking the caller ID.

"Your car is ready, madam," a voice said from the front desk.

"Good. Tell them I'm coming down."

She ended the call and stood. She took one last look in the mirror. She didn’t look scared. She looked super ready.

By the time she stepped into her company’s office, all heads turned. The receptionists stood, the boardroom glass shimmered with reflections of men and women whispering. She walked past them all and headed Straight to her office.

“Let him wait a bit longer,” Kate said, dropping her bag on the desk. “Get me coffee.”

Not from William. Not that she was expecting one.She walked down the stairs and found him sitting in the living room. He was in Suit, his Tie and Cold stare in place.“I’m heading out,” she said.William didn’t look up. “Where?”“To my friend’s event.”“But you didn't make mention of that to me in our conversation last night." “I'm not supposed to tell you that,after all you don't notify me when you're going to an event."

Her mind was still racing from the night before. William’s words lingered in her ears. The way he looked at her, like he cared but refused to admit it, like he was fighting something inside him.She shook the thoughts away and turned to the file in front of her. It was time to stop getting distracted. Her father’s company needed her. She was finally in control.A knock came at the door. Kate lifted her head. “Come in.”The door opened and Tina walked in, holding two takeout bags and wearing a wide grin.“Tell me you haven’t eaten,” Tina said.Kate smiled for the first time that morning. “You’re a lifesaver.”Tina dropped the food on the desk. “I figured. You probably buried yourself in work again.”“I’m trying to fix years of damage, Tina. My uncle didn’t even tell me half of what’s been going on.”Tina handed her a pack of Ha

    ♣ CHAPTER 18 ♣Kate couldn’t sleep. Her chest was too tight, her head is too loud. The message from the unknown number and the strange phone call with her uncle still played in her mind. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her parents’ faces. She needed answers.At exactly 3:12 AM, Kate slipped out of bed, pulled on a hoodie, and left her room. She moved quietly through the hallways of the penthouse. William’s home office was always locked—but she had watched him enough times to know where he kept the spare key.She stepped in with her heart pounding.The room smelled like leather and cold air. She moved straight to the filing cabinet. Row after row of folders. She flipped through until she saw the label—Chambers Corporation: 2017–2021.Her hands trembled as she opened it. Her eyes scanned the first page.“Internal Risk Report. December 2020.”She flipped to the next page. Then another. It mentioned her uncle’s name. It mentioned withheld funds. Stolen shares. Internal tampering.

This is real.”“I’m scared, Tina. But I can’t give up. Not now.”Tina placed the phone on the table. “Listen to me. You’re not alone in this,I’m here, And you have William too.”Kate scoffed. “William? He hides things. He shuts me out.”“But he told you something, didn’t he? A part of his past?”“Yes, but it’s not enough.”“He’s trying his best,Kate. Maybe not in your way, but I see it. The way he looks at you. The way he protects you.”Kate looked down. “Then why won’t he trust me with the whole truth?”“Because maybe the truth will destroy you.”Kate was silent.Tina continued, “You need to stop fighting him, Kate. Let him in. Let him help.”“I don’t want to depend on him.”“It’s not weakness. It’s smart. Use every weapon you h

A gala.”“I’m not in the mood to be paraded.”William raised a brow. “It’s not about being paraded. It’s about image. The Presence.”“I’ve had enough of presence,” she muttered. “I’ve been dragged into too much already.”“You’re my wife,” he said simply. “People need to see that.”Kate stared at him. “So now you want to show me off? After keeping me hidden like a secret?”He walked closer, stopping right in front of her. “Things have changed.”“What things?”“Perception,Threats and Family enemies.

This is no ordinary food, your hand is truly blessed.”Kate laughed lightly. “It’s just breakfast.”“No, madam. This aroma? It’s something else,” the first maid said again. “Even chef cannot make it like this.”“I used to cook for my parents,” Kate said, her smile softening. “It reminds me of them.”A third maid entered,

My name is everywhere. I need help.”“Okay, okay. Calm down. I already spoke to Jeremy. He said he’s available today. You can meet him downtown. Eleven o'clock sharp.”Kate grabbed her bag. “Text me the address.”“Are you sure you’re ready for this?”“I don’t even know what I’m fighting yet, Tina.
