Chapter Twelve

Katherine stood stiffly before Uncle Ryan, the document gripped tightly in her hands. For the first time since she’d known him, he was smiling, wide, smug, satisfied. That smile alone made her stomach twist. What exactly is in this document that gives it so much power? she wondered for the umpteenth time.

“Hand it over,” he said smoothly, extending his hand.

She shook her head. “Not until you fulfill your end of the deal,” she said firmly. “Only then will you get this.”

Uncle Ryan chuckled, clearly entertained. “Smarter than I thought,” he mused.

Katherine didn’t smile back. She stayed perfectly still. “And one more thing,” she said. “I want to take Thelma with me when I leave.”

His smile vanished instantly.

“No,” he said flatly, his tone now as cold as steel. “That’s not part of the deal.”

Katherine’s eyes narrowed. “Why not?”

“Because she’s Massimo’s daughter,” he snapped. “And the last thing I want is to incur his wrath. She may resemble your little

    “That was total bullshit!”Damien’s voice thundered through the executive hallway as he stormed out of the elevator. “How dare that little brat disgrace me and my company like that? In my own boardroom! And those stupid, spineless delegates, grown men stood there, letting a child talk down on me!”Behind him, his personal assistant, Alisa, followed at a careful distance. She kept her head slightly bowed, her tablet clutched tightly to her chest. One wrong word could easily turn his rage on her, and she knew it.The moment Damien appeared, the hallway reacted. Staff members froze mid-conversation, then scattered instantly, hugging walls, ducking into offices, pretending to be busy. Everyone had heard, everyone knew that the little CEO of Kathan’s Group had humiliated their mighty CEO.Damien reached his office and shoved the door open with such force it slammed against the wall, startling his staffs. He slammed the door shut just as violently behind him.Instead of heading to his chair

    Meanwhile, at Vortan’s Group.The boardroom, usually a place of rigid control buzzed with murmurs. Executives from Vortan’s Group sat alongside the delegates of Kathan Group, yet none of them were focused on the documents spread neatly before them.All eyes were on the same person.The women in the room whispered openly now, no longer bothering to hide their astonishment. Even the seasoned older men of Vortan’s Group, men who had negotiated billion-dollar deals without flinching seemed incapable of closing their mouths as they stared at the small masked boy seated in the executive chair meant for the CEO of Kathan Group.Earlier, one of the senior executives from Vortan’s Group had risen abruptly, slamming his palm on the table.“This is outrageous!” the man had barked. “You have no right to sit there. That chair belongs to the CEO of the mighty Kathan Group. Such insolence, such disrespect!”The room had gone silent.Then, calmly, one of the Kathan delegates had stood up.“With all d

    Katherine and Ariana sat on the bed in thick silence.Katherine’s voice had gone hoarse by the time she finished narrating everything that had happened earlier with Massimo. For a long moment, Ariana didn’t say a word. Then suddenly, she exploded.“What the fuck, Katherine!” Ariana snapped, shooting to her feet so fast the mattress dipped. “You know what I’m going to do, right now? I’m going to that freaking office right now, and you’re not stopping me.”She was already reaching for her shoes.Katherine lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. “No, Ari, don’t. Please don’t,” she said quickly. “He’s not worth it. And besides… I’ve resigned. I’m done with that place.”This was exactly why she hadn’t wanted to tell her. Ariana loved fiercely, recklessly. She didn’t know how to let things slide when it came to Katherine, and she would burn the world if she had to.Ariana turned back to her. “So because you resigned, he gets away with it? Because I don’t think so.”Her voice rose as the ange

    11:00 a.m. Katherine exhaled sharply, her gaze fixed on Massimo’s empty chair for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. He wasn’t in the office yet and that was unusual. Massimo was never late, not like this. If he was going to be, he’d usually send a quick message. Yet today, nothing. His schedule clearly showed back-to-back meetings, there was no free slot but the chair across from her remained vacant.Her hand hovered over her phone again. She had sent him a message hours ago, a simple check-in, but it sat there, unread, or worse, ignored. Twice she had called him, her finger trembling slightly as she hit “call,” only to be met with silence. A knot tightened in her chest.A tiny voice of panic whispered: What if something’s wrong? What if something bad has happened?They hated each other, yes, but that didn’t interfere with professionalism. Not today. Today, they had a crucial meeting with the CEO of Kathan Group, a partnership they’d been working toward for months. Dami

    Chapter Sixty one “Break his head if you have to,” Ariana said firmly, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel as she brought the car to a stop. “And if things get out of hand, if you even feel slightly unsafe, call me immediately. I won’t hesitate to come save you.”She was talking about Massimo.There was no need to say his name.Katherine paused with one hand on the door handle and turned to look at her friend. A soft laugh escaped her, more breath than sound, though her heart wasn’t nearly as light as she tried to make it seem.Ariana’s face was dead serious and protective, the way it always got when Massimo was involved. Unless, when she was teasing her about him, though.Katherine couldn’t help it; her mind drifted back to days ago, to the moment she had caught Ariana and Tyke together. The memory flashed so vividly it almost made her smile wider. Ariana’s expression then had been pure, wicked amusement instead of embarrassment. She’d smirked, eyes glittering with mischief

    “What in the actual hell?!” Myles shouted, his jaw dropping as he stared at Tyke, who was calmly recounting everything that had happened to him.“I can’t believe your own father… could shoot you,” Jordan muttered. “Who does something like that?!”“Right?” Willow added. “When we saw him at the hospital, I knew something was off. I didn’t buy the doctor’s story about it being an accident. Now it all makes sense, a freaking gunshot. Everything’s clear.”Tyke looked at Ariana, his expression softening. “I went through so much… more than I can even put into words right now,” he said slowly. “But I’m just glad it’s finally over. I’m back with you guys. And most importantly… I’m back with my love.”Ariana rolled her eyes, but a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.Katherine smiled quietly, watching the little scene unfold. Her circle, her family was complete again. She felt a warmth in her chest, glad she and Ariana had taken that bold step of going after Tyke when they did.“Ugh, I hate anyth
