The door opened, and I stood from my chair. Keegan looked well put together, and now that I was looking at him in a new light, I couldn’t help but think I’d seen someone who looked like him before.

“Eve. Babe.” He flashed me one of his gentle smiles and kissed me on the cheek.

The closeness of us was nothing like the tension that was in the air whenever Ashvin was in the room, and I was glad because I could think clearly.

“I hope you haven't been worrying yourself sick over this.” He s

    EVELYN“His access to executive offices, company systems, confidential records, and operational authority will be suspended immediately. Security will assist him with the transition of his personal belongings from the executive floor.”My mouth fell open.They weren't just taking his position. They were stripping him of everything. By his father, to make matters worse!I turned towards Nana, expecting her to finally intervene, but she remained silent. Her eyes were fixed on Ashvin, and although I couldn't understand what she was thinking, there was something in her expression that made me wonder whether she expected this all along.Ashvin, meanwhile, slowly pushed his chair back.“Congratulations, Keegan.”His voice was calm. When I looked around, I noticed that no one could look him in the eye. Keegan smiled, “Don’t worry, your people will still have jobs if you behave.”“I’m sure they will. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have somewhere to be.”He picked up his phone and slipped it into

    EVELYNThe room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. I looked at Ashvin, expecting him to react, but he remained seated with his back straight and his hands resting calmly on the table. His face revealed nothing. If I hadn't seen the way his jaw tightened, I might have believed Nolan's announcement did not affect him at all.Yet I knew enough about Ashvin to understand what this meant.Blackwood Group was not merely a company to him. It was his entire life. He grew up working for it, sacrificing his time and energy to prove himself to a father who never seemed satisfied. He spent years fighting to secure his position, and now Nolan was attempting to take it away in front of the very people Ashvin worked so hard to impress.I expected him to stand up and demand an explanation, to remind everyone of his achievements and challenge his father's authority. I expected his grandmother to end this meeting and call it nonsense. But she simply sat and watched. Hands were raised, but those

    EVELYNThis was not how I expected my morning to go. I knew Ashvin and I would eventually meet, and he would find out I had signed the deal with someone else, but the way he looked at me when our eyes met made me feel so guilty, and I hated it.I did nothing wrong. Ashvin and I never promised each other anything, and even if we had, I had every right to choose a business partner without asking for his permission. He made it perfectly clear that I was free to make my own decisions, so why did seeing the disappointment in his eyes make me feel as though I personally betrayed him?Perhaps it was because of how nice he treated me recently that I felt like I owed him. His gaze shifted from me to Keegan, and the expression on his face darkened. Keegan, on the other hand, looked as though he had just been handed front-row tickets to the most entertaining show of his life. He leaned back in his chair with a lazy smile, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the man glaring at him looked ready t

    ASHVINShe swallowed. "Good morning, Mr Blackwood. The board members have already assembled in the conference room.""I can see that. Is that why everyone is behaving as though the world has ended?"I held her gaze for another moment, but she offered nothing further. I wasn't about to waste my time interrogating a receptionist, so I continued towards the private elevators with Ryan beside me."Find out what's happening," I told him quietly."Yes, sir.""And Ryan?"“Yes. Boss.”"If my father has done something behind my back, I want to know before I walk out of that room.""Understood."The elevator doors opened, and we stepped inside. I watched the floor numbers climb, my thoughts moving rapidly through the possibilities. The partnership negotiations, the board's growing impatience, my father's recent attempts to strengthen his influence, and the trouble surrounding Amanda's death were all potential sources of the tension I could feel around me.I had no intention of allowing any of th

    ASHVIN"The media already have questions about what happened at the mansion, " Ryan continued, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. "Amanda's death is going to attract a lot of attention. We need to decide what we're telling the press before they start inventing their own stories."“How did they get to find out so quickly?”“I don’t know, Sir. We did keep it under wraps, but for some reason it blew up. We are trying to investigate where the problem could be. But while we are doing that, this can’t be put aside for long. We need a story to sell. So after the meeting we will need to meet the PR team.”I loosened my tie and stared out of the window. "Tell them the truth. Amanda Jacobs was a guest at a private property; she took her own life, and the authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. Anything beyond that is none of their fucking business.""That might not be enough, sir. People will want to know why you were there, why Miss Carter was there, and

    ASHVIN I watched Evelyn laugh, and for a few seconds, I forgot that I had a board meeting to attend and a family full of vultures waiting for me to make a mistake.There was something dangerously beautiful about seeing her like this, relaxed enough to laugh without worrying about who might be watching her. For six years, I replayed countless memories of Evelyn in my head, but none of them compared to having her standing in front of me again, wearing my clothes and looking at me as though I was the most irritating man she had ever encountered.Perhaps I was.I certainly intended to remain so if it meant keeping that smile on her face."You're enjoying yourself," I remarked, watching her shake her head at me."Immensely. I feel like everything will finally start working out for me." She said as she rushed out like her ass was on fire. I was relieved that she wasn’t the shell of herself anymore. "Later, Ashvin, and text me Mariane’s address!” She shouted over her shoulder as she sprinte
