“Camila?”

Nathan’s lips tightened as he leaned closer to the monitor. His office secretary. The one he had always trusted to be loyal, or so he thought.

“Why would she steal from me?” he muttered under his breath, disbelief twisting inside him.

On the screen, Camila moved with precise and controlled motions. She dragged boxes of Italian marble tiles across the floor, stacking them neatly in a duffle bag, before crouching by another crate. Everything about her was too practiced and felt too conf

    CHAPTER 45Adeline was lost for words. Her tongue felt heavy, useless. She found herself stammering over and over again, each attempt worse than the last.“I… I…”Nathan’s eyes dropped to her hands. Slowly. Carefully. He examined them to see if she had taken anything from the safe. Her fingers were bare. No gold. No pouch. No hidden cloth. Nothing.Only then did she finally find her voice.“I went in to clean the safe,” she said, forcing the sentence out.“At this hour?” he asked.The question was calm, but it pressed against her chest.She scratched her head, buying time, searching desperately for what to say. Her thoughts scrambled until something clicked. “I was feeling very sick during the day,” she rushed out. “But I have a little strength now. I thought I could clean it.”The words sounded thin. Even she could hear it.Nathan’s gaze did not soften. She was obviously lying. So he assumed.“How did you get access to the safe?” Nathan asked.Again, she was lost for words. Her mind

    Andrea was furious.But she still loved him.Or at least, she loved the way he made her feel.She stood in the middle of the suite, chest rising and falling sharply. Her eyes blazed with a mix of anger and desire.“How could you?” she snapped, her voice trembling between hurt and outrage. “You think I won’t hear about this? You think I won’t walk in?”The three women hurried out, gathering their things, glancing at her with a mix of curiosity and awkwardness.The door clicked shut behind them.Silence.The man ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “Andrea, don’t start.”“Don’t start?” she laughed bitterly, the sound sharp in the quiet room. “You’re in bed with three women.”“And you came here without calling,” he said, his voice calm but edged with steel.Her jaw tightened, her teeth pressing together.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then something shifted.The anger didn’t vanish; it melted into something darker, hotter, reckless.She stepped closer, the heat of her body press

    Andrea stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection longer than necessary.The room was extremely quiet.She slowly lifted a deep red gown from the bed and pressed it against her body. The silk clung perfectly. It made her look elegant, bold, impossible to ignore.“If he won’t look at me at home,” she murmured under her breath, fastening the zipper carefully, “he will have to look at me tonight.”She adjusted the neckline slightly lower.Her fingers paused.Her lips pressed into a thin line.Ever since the pregnancy… everything had shifted. Nathan had grown colder, more distant. Like she was a reminder of something he didn’t want to face.Andrea picked up her phone.No message from him.Not even a simple I’ve arrived.Her lips curved into a thin smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“Fine,” she whispered. “Let’s see how distant you stay tonight.”Her driver opened the car door for her when she arrived at the venue of the party Nathan attended.Flashlights flickered in the di

    “What? Are you stalking me, Marie?”Nathan’s brows drew together sharply, his grip tightening around the stem of his wine glass.Marie’s expression flickered, it was hurt first, then disbelief. “No. Of course not.” She swallowed, steadying herself. “I was invited, just like you. I saw you speaking with my friend and her husband earlier.”Nathan let out a short breath through his nose. “What do you want, Marie?”The chair creaked softly as she settled in beside him.Her fingers twisted together in front of her, knuckles paling. “Please, Nathan… Can we talk? My conscience keeps gnawing at me. I know I betrayed you years ago, but I’m here now to make things right. Please.”He glanced past her, already dismissing her. “I didn’t come all the way here to have a conversation with you. Stay out of my way.”He lifted his chin slightly toward Mark. “Get me another table.”“Yes, sir,” Mark responded immediately.Marie stepped forward, desperation breaking through her composure.“Nathan! For how

    The trio finally reached Emily’s apartment. Alicia unlocked the door, and they paused just outside the threshold.Vanessa leaned slightly closer to Alicia, lowering her voice. “Ma’am, you saw the man in the hospital, right?” she began.“Dylan…” Alicia confirmed, nodding. “He’s in love with you. If you’re ready, maybe… maybe you should give him a chance, Since your marriage with Mr. Nathan is over and he chose his mistress over you.”Alicia’s hand froze on the doorknob. Emily’s pale face reflected exhaustion, but her eyes narrowed slightly at Vanessa’s words. Neither of them said anything.Alicia pushed the door open, stepping inside. Emily followed, leaning lightly on her arm. Vanessa came in last, still fidgeting slightly.As they got inside, Vanessa spoke again, her tone softer, almost pleading. “Look… he might treat you better than Mr. Nathan ever did. Even more than you deserve.”Emily’s eyes snapped toward Vanessa, sharp despite her weakness. “Don’t say that,” she said firmly. “

    Alicia stirred on the couch. Her eyelids fluttered open, sunlight brushing softly against her face. She stretched, groaning lightly, and her hand fumbled for the phone on the coffee table.She blinked at the clock. Her stomach sank.“Oh no… I might be late….” she whispered.She pushed herself upright, brushing hair from her face with one hand while grabbing her bag with the other. The tension from yesterday still clung to her shoulders, but there was no time to dwell. She had to move.She hurried through a quick bath, yanked on her jacket, slipped into her shoes, and grabbed the wedding invitation card from the table. One glance at it made her stomach knot, but she shoved it into her bag without thinking twice.The cab arrived, and Alicia practically ran toward it, sliding into the seat. The city had begun to stir, but her thoughts were entirely with Emily.“Thank you….” She said as the cab driver dropped her off.By the time she reached the office, she wasn’t as late as she had feare
