My Husband’s Secret Empire 25: Inside
Regina's contact arranged the cover within three days — a consulting position at Julian's firm, plausible enough on paper that no one questioned it, urgent enough that Wren found herself walking through the glass doors of Ashford Risk Solutions before the fear had fully caught up with the adrenaline carrying her forward. "Remember," Imogen's voice came low through the earpiece hidden beneath her hair, steady and clinical in a way Wren had come to find strangely comforting. "You're there to observe, gather what you can, and leave. Nothing heroic. Nathaniel and I are two minutes out at all times." "Understood," Wren murmured, adjusting the visitor badge clipped to her blazer, old instincts settling over her like armor as she stepped into the elevator.Julian Ashford's office occupied the top floor, all clean lines and cold, deliberate elegance that reminded Wren uncomfortably of both Nathaniel's estate and Warrick Voss's easy, practiced charm. Julian himself met her expectations befor
My Husband’s Secret Empire 24: Julian
"Your son," Nathaniel repeated, disbelief bleeding into something colder as the words settled. "Your own son has been running this network.""Not from the beginning." Regina's voice had steadied, though tears still tracked silently down her face. "Julian was a child when Daniel died. He grew up in the shadow of a father's murder no one ever fully explained to him, watching me quietly, obsessively try to dismantle something I could never fully explain either. By the time he was old enough to understand what I'd actually been doing all those years, he didn't want to help me end it.""He wanted to inherit it," Wren said slowly, the shape of it settling into place with cold clarity."He wanted power," Regina said. "The kind his father died trying to expose, the kind he decided was safer to control than to fight. I didn't realize how far he'd gone until it was already far too late to stop him without destroying my own son in the process." Her hands twisted together, grief and shame warring
My Husband’s Secret Empire 23: The Widows Letter
Nathaniel took the letter with careful hands, unfolding it slowly, Wren leaning close enough to read alongside him. The handwriting was elegant, formal, dated some fourteen years earlier written, Wren realized with a chill, only months after Nathaniel's father had died. “Eleanor, I understand your grief better than you know. I lost someone dear to me the same way, to men who believed themselves untouchable, protected by money and silence. I promise you this: I will not let what happened to your son happen to anyone else in your family. I only ask that you trust me enough to help me get close enough to protect them properly.What I ask in return is small. A recommendation. A seat close enough to the decisions that matter. In exchange, I will spend whatever years I have left making certain your family never suffers what mine already has.With deepest sympathy and shared purpose,Regina” "'My family already has,'" Wren repeated slowly, something cold settling into her chest. "She's ta
My Husband’s Secret Empire 22: Eleanor
Nathaniel didn't speak for a long moment, the name settling over the room like something physically heavy. "My grandmother is eighty-one years old," he said finally, voice strained. "She's spent the last decade telling anyone who'll listen that her greatest regret is not seeing me married before my father died. You're asking me to believe she orchestrated Regina's placement on my board in the same breath she was grieving her own son." "I'm not asking you to believe anything yet," Victor said carefully. "I'm telling you what the paperwork shows. Eleanor's signature is on the recommendation letter that fast-tracked Regina's appointment. I've had it for years. I never knew what to do with it, because the alternative in believing your grandmother had any part in this felt as impossible to me as it clearly does to you right now." "Then maybe it's a coincidence," Nathaniel said, though the conviction in his voice had thinned to almost nothing. "Maybe Regina asked her for a favor unrelate
My Husband’s Secret Empire 21: What He Sacrificed
"Explain," Nathaniel said, voice tight with a mixture of hope and suspicion he was visibly struggling to balance. "Everything, Don't leave anything out this time."Victor rubbed a hand across his face, exhaustion settling into every line of his expression, the weight of what looked like decades of careful concealment finally cracking open. "After your father died, I went to Elliot Voss myself," he said. "Not to threaten him. Not to expose him — not yet, not without proof that could actually hold up. I went to him pretending I wanted in, pretending grief and greed had made me exactly the kind of man willing to inherit my brother's silence in exchange for a share of what Elliot had built." "You infiltrated them," Wren said slowly, old instincts sharpening as the shape of it settled into place. "I spent fifteen years building enough trust to get close to the actual operation, funneling money exactly where they wanted it, documenting everything I could without ever letting them suspec
My Husband’s Secret Empire 20: Blood Relation
The name hit the room like a physical blow."My uncle," Nathaniel repeated slowly, like the words didn't fit together no matter how many times he tried to arrange them. "You're accusing my uncle.""I'm not accusing him of anything I can prove," Grant said quickly. "I said I suspected. There's a difference, and I'd rather be wrong than watch you tear your family apart over an instinct I can't fully back up.""Then why say it at all?" Wren asked, watching Nathaniel carefully, the color draining slowly from his face."Because you asked for a name, and because everything that doesn't fit anyone else fits him." Grant's voice had steadied, some of his earlier defensiveness giving way to something more careful, more deliberate. "Victor Cross has had institutional access to this company since before you were even born, Nathaniel. He sat on financial committees your father trusted implicitly. He's the only person besides Regina Ashford with a plausible connection stretching back that far and u
