AVA

“Welcome to my house.” Roman’s voice carried that effortless authority as he stepped out of the car.

I followed him, my heels crunching softly against the paved driveway, and before I could even take in the massive building looming ahead, he was already calling for the staff. “Come here. Help carry her things.”

Two maids and a young man hurried forward, bowing their heads as if they were in some kind of parade. My bags were lifted out of the trunk before I could touch them. I just stood there, watching, confused at his sudden display of… kindness? If that’s what it was.

As we walked up the marble steps, I tugged on his sleeve, forcing him to stop. “Why are you suddenly being nice to me?” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “The contract said we were supposed to act like strangers. That was the deal. So why the change?”

He turned to me then, his eyes calm, unreadable, but his lips curved just a little. “Because you’re my wife,” he said. “Contract or not, I should treat you w

    Ava descended the grand staircase, her heels clicking softly against the marble. She'd changed into something more professional for the interviews—a cream blouse tucked into navy trousers. Her hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail, and she carried a leather portfolio with the list of candidates and their resumes.The morning sun streamed through the tall windows, casting geometric patterns across the foyer. Through the glass doors, she could see the garden—or what was left of it. The rose bushes had grown wild, branches tangling together in an unkempt mass. The hedges were uneven, some sections towering while others looked sparse and dying. The lawn needed mowing, and weeds had taken over the flowerbeds.It was a mess. A beautiful, expensive mess that screamed neglect.Ava pushed through the doors into the conservatory, where she'd asked Maria to set up for the interviews. A small table and two chairs sat near the windows overlooking the garden.Maria was there, wiping down the tabl

    Damian moved through Roman's home office like a thief in the night, even though it was broad daylight and technically, this was supposed to be his house now.He pulled open the third drawer of the mahogany desk, rifling through files with increasing frustration. Bank statements. Old tax returns. Investment portfolios. Nothing he didn't already have access to through the company.Where the hell did Roman keep the real documents?There had to be something. Contracts. Off-shore accounts. Secret partnerships. Roman was too successful, too careful, to not have backup plans and hidden assets. But everything Damian found was clean, organized, traceable."Damn it," he muttered, shoving the drawer closed harder than necessary.He moved to the filing cabinet next, yanking it open. His fingers flew through the folders, scanning labels. Taxes. Insurance. Property deeds. Mortgage—Footsteps.Damian's entire body went rigid. The footsteps were soft but distinct, coming down the hallway toward the o

    Roman's fists were bloody and raw from pounding on the steel door. His throat burned from screaming. He'd lost track of how long he'd been at it—hours, maybe. Time had no meaning in this windowless cell."LET ME OUT!" His voice was hoarse, cracking. "YOU HEAR ME? LET ME OUT!"He slammed his shoulder against the door one more time, ignoring the shooting pain that radiated through his bruised body. The door didn't budge. It never did.Finally, his legs gave out. Roman slumped against the door, sliding down until he sat on the cold concrete floor, his back pressed against the unyielding metal."Coward!" he shouted into the emptiness. "Whoever you are, come face me! Stop hiding like a damn coward and let's settle this like men!"His chest heaved with each breath. The bandages on his torso were stained with blood—some old, some fresh from his attempted escape earlier."You think teaming up with my pathetic brother makes you strong?" Roman's laugh was bitter, manic. "You think Damian is goi

    Damian stood in Roman’s office—running his fingers along the edge of the massive mahogany desk. The leather chair still held the indent of its previous owner, and he took particular pleasure in settling into it, feeling the way it conformed to his body.Everything about this room screamed power. The floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. The original artwork on the walls. The shelves lined with awards and achievements. All of it had belonged to Roman King.Damian swiveled in the chair, taking in the view. Forty-two floors up, the city sprawled beneath him like a kingdom waiting to be claimed. He'd waited so long for this moment. Years of planning, maneuvering, positioning himself.And then the opportunity had presented itself so beautifully. The accident. The perfect accident.His phone buzzed on the desk. He glanced at the screen. Viktor.He answered. "Tell me.”"It's done." Viktor's voice was gruff, efficient. "The real Mr. King is secured. No one knows where he is. You're p

    The elevator ride to the forty-second floor of King Holdings felt like an eternity.Ava stood beside Roman, watching the floor numbers climb. She could feel the tension radiating from him—his jaw was clenched, his hands flexing at his sides. He'd been quiet the entire drive, staring out the window like he was trying to memorize a city he supposedly knew.The elevator dinged, and the doors slid open.The King Holdings reception area was all gleaming marble and floor-to-ceiling windows. The company logo—a stylized crown—dominated the wall behind the reception desk. Sarah Chen stood waiting, her professional smile faltering slightly when she saw Roman."Mr. King. Mrs. King." She stepped forward, her hands clasped in front of her. "It's so good to see you both."Roman said nothing, just stared at the logo on the wall like it was written in a foreign language."Sarah, thank you for getting everything ready," Ava said, filling the silence. "Is the conference room set up?""Yes, ma'am. The t

    Ava watched her mother's face crumple, saw her father's jaw tighten. But Ava took a breath. Then another. The tears that had been threatening to fall dried up, replaced by something harder. Something that felt like resolve."Mom. Dad." Her voice was steady. "Can you please excuse us? I need to speak with Roman alone.""Ava, honey—" Mrs Morgan started."Please." Ava turned to her mother. "I'll come by the house later. I promise."Edwards hand found his wife's shoulder. He understood. "Come on, dear. Let's give them some space."Mrs Morgan looked like she wanted to argue, but she nodded. She moved toward Ava, pulling her into one more quick embrace. "You're stronger than you know," she whispered in her daughter's ear. "Don't forget that."Edward was the last. He squeezed Ava's hand, then looked at Roman—who was still pressed against the wall, watching them all with suspicious eyes."Take care of yourself, son," Edward said quietly. "Whether you remember it or not, we love you."Roman s
