Chapter 52: The Foundation

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-12 15:36:00

It started with a name.

The Sinclair Foundation.

Not flashy. Not built to impress the media or appease donors. Just something honest, rooted in a name Ava had nearly buried under someone else’s shadow.

She launched it quietly.

No red carpets. No champagne.

Just a single press release:

“This foundation is for the voices we lost in boardrooms and behind closed doors. For the women who were told to sign, smile, and stay silent. We’re not asking for attention. We’re creating protection.”

— Ava Sinclair

By the end of the week, twenty emails arrived.

By the next, there were fifty.

Women. Former employees. Interns. Assistants. One was a receptionist from another firm. Another had never worked at Wolfe, but had a story that mirrored Ava’s too closely.

Luisa helped her set up the first meeting.

No cameras. Just chairs, notebooks, coffee, and quiet.

The first woman who stood up her

  • Married to my Arrogant Sponsor    Chapter 69: The Walls Speak Back

    Ava never thought a building could hold its breath, but the Wolfe Foundation did. There was something different about the atmosphere in the days after Project Paper Ash was announced. Conversations quieted when she walked past. Doors that used to stay open shut halfway. Emails arrived with polite coldness instead of collaborative curiosity. Even in her own office, the air felt thick with anticipation. But it wasn’t fear. It was the beginning of consequence. The day the report went public, the foundation’s inbox crashed. Survivors. Journalists. Critics. Anonymous messages praising her bravery. Others accusing her of betrayal. She expected all of that. What she didn’t expect was the response from inside her own walls. It started with Olivia, who closed Ava’s door behind her one late afternoon. “Hey,” Olivia said, her voice quieter than usual. “Do you h

  • Married to my Arrogant Sponsor    Chapter 68: Naomi’s Mistake

    The office was unusually quiet that Thursday morning. Ava noticed it the moment she stepped in the kind of silence that doesn’t belong to peace, but to panic disguised as composure.She walked into the main workroom, eyes sweeping over half raised heads and quickly minimized screens.Luisa intercepted her halfway through the room.“We have a situation,” she said softly, her face tight.Ava raised a brow. “What kind of situation?”Luisa hesitated, then handed her a tablet. “Naomi sent a file to the wrong contact.”Ava frowned. “What file?”“The draft exposé for the Adira case. It included survivor names real ones.”Ava’s stomach dropped.“Who did she send it to?” she asked, trying to stay calm.Luisa bit her lip. “An external journalist. One who already had issues with our foundation.”Ava turned, already walking toward her office. “Where’s Naomi?”“In the wellness room. She’s…

  • Married to my Arrogant Sponsor    Chapter 67: Wolf in the Boardroom

    The boardroom at Wolfe & Sinclair was noticeably colder than the rest of the building, even on a bright Thursday morning. Floor to ceiling windows showed the city glittering far below. Ava stood at the head of the long oak table, her heart steady as Grayson and the rest of the Board filed in.This was their first major gathering since the string of threats and the leaked files a pivotal moment poised between vulnerability and reclamation.It began with silence. Mugs of coffee steamed. Notepads opened. The Director of Finance cleared his throat and started with benign updates.Then Grayson stood.“We’ve received a buyout offer.” The words stilled the air. “A silent partner from overseas wants to buy out our Advocacy Division and rebrand us. They bring money. Vast networks. But we’d surrender autonomy.”Ava’s stomach clenched. This offer followed the threats and internal sabotage. It couldn’t be coincidence.Grayson set down his gl

  • Married to my Arrogant Sponsor    Chapter 66: The Threat in Her Inbox

    Late one Tuesday evening, the Advocacy & Ethics Division’s office was quite mostly save for the hum of dimmed computers. Ava worked under the soft glow of her desk lamp, refining the public letter she planned to send about the Isla Kerr case. Outside her window, the city’s lights flickered, and she felt a thrill surge beneath her exhaustion: clarity. This was her purpose.Then, an alert ping on her screen.From an anonymous sender: “Next time you leak, it won’t be words. It’ll be real.”Her skin prickled cold. She clicked but paused. Was it a misdirect? A threat aimed at someone else? But the subject line read: “I see you.”She swallowed, a cold pit settling in her stomach. She hadn’t shared this draft beyond her circle. This message had surfaced instantly. Someone was watching. And it wasn’t part of the foundation’s strategy.Ava closed her laptop carefully, noticing for the first time how quiet the office felt. She picked up her phone.

    Even after the incident at the Advocacy Division, nights were sleepless.Ava paced their bedroom before dawn, the early light stirring old questions she’d hoped were buried. Had she created this conflict by inviting Celeste in? By thinking trust could erase scars? Could her personal choices entangle her work and put real survivors in danger?Grayson entered quietly, pulling a loose strand of curly hair away from her face. “Can’t sleep?”She didn’t answer. She mustered a smile but it didn’t reach her eyes.He whispered, “Come lie down.They lay side by side, the space between full of unspoken tension. Nightlight through the blinds made stripes across her skin. His hand rested lightly on her waist as if waiting for permission to anchor.Finally, Ava sighed. “I thought we were past this… vulnerability.”He exhaled, controlled but heavy. “We are. We handled the leak.”“It was her,” she said quietly, name full of the

    A week’s worth of progress. A sanctuary built with intention. And now, a missing file threatened to undermine it all.It started on a Tuesday morning.Ava arrived at Wolfe & Sinclair’s Advocacy Division coffee in hand and confidence back. Her schedule included meetings with survivor partners and board preparations, but her first stop was the open office. She wanted to feel their energy before diving in.That’s when Luisa intercepted her near the reception desk, frowning over her phone.“Got a minute?”Ava nodded, sensing the tension.Luisa led her to the glass walled conference room. She tapped on her phone screen and handed it to Ava.A database alert: “Access Denied File: Isla Kerr Case Time: 7:02 PM Yesterday.”Ava’s stomach dropped. Isla Kerr a woman Ava was trying to find was central to a class action report she’d been building. That file was the intersection of advocacy and strategy, and now it was locked
