View MoreAidenI had negotiated billion-dollar mergers with less stress than planning a wedding.That realization alone should have concerned me.Instead, I stood in front of the mirror inside my dressing room while Martin adjusted his cufflinks with the seriousness of someone preparing for war.“You look nervous,” he said flatly.“I’m not nervous.”“You’ve checked your watch eleven times in six minutes.”“That’s observation. Not nerves.”Martin looked unimpressed.Behind him, Q lounged carelessly on the couch scrolling through his phone.“Honestly,” he said lazily, “this is beautiful for me personally.”I ignored him.Q continued anyway.“The great Aiden Smith. Feared businessman. Destroyer of criminal organizations. Emotional over a woman in white fabric.”Martin almost smiled.I narrowed my eyes.“You both can leave.”“No,” Q replied immediately. “I suffered through your personality for years. I deserve to witness this.”I adjusted the sleeve of my suit calmly before looking at my reflectio
AriannaOne Week Before GraduationSometimes I still woke up expecting chaos.It happened less now, but every once in a while, my eyes would open in the middle of the night and for a few seconds I would expect screaming phones, encrypted alerts, another emergency meeting, another attack.Instead, I would find warm arms around my waist.Aiden.Sleeping beside me like the world had finally stopped demanding pieces of us.It always took me a moment to adjust to the silence.Not because silence was unfamiliar anymore.Because peace still felt unreal.The morning sunlight slipped through the curtains slowly, warming the room in soft gold. I blinked awake carefully before turning slightly.Aiden was still asleep.Which was rare.Very rare.For someone who practically operated like a machine, sleep always seemed optional to him. Yet over the past few months, he had started resting more. Not fully. Not normally. But enough for me to notice.His arm tightened slightly around me the moment I sh
AidenFor the first time in years, the screens in front of me were quiet.No emergency alerts.No red warnings flashing across encrypted systems.No incoming reports about missing shipments, financial breaches, assassinations, or attacks waiting to happen.Just silence.I leaned back slightly in my chair, staring at the collection of reports spread across the monitors in my office.Frozen accounts.Seized assets.Arrests across three countries.Destroyed trafficking routes.Confiscated weapons.Companies under federal investigation.Politicians resigning before evidence could publicly bury them.The organization that had spent years hiding beneath governments and corporations was collapsing piece by piece.Not completely gone.Men like that never disappeared entirely.But broken enough that they would never regain the power they once held.And for the first time in a long time, I allowed myself to think the words clearly.The war was over.The realization should have felt victorious.
AriannaI did not sleep well after reading the file.Not because I was afraid.Because I was angry.Real anger.The kind that sat quietly in your chest and refused to cool no matter how calm you tried to appear.For months, I had bled for this organization without even fully understanding what I had inherited. I had adapted to systems older than me, accepted responsibilities I never asked for, and trusted people whose faces I still barely knew.And now they were questioning me.Not openly.Not honestly.Cowards never attacked directly first.They whispered.They observed.They tested how much pressure they could apply before cracks started forming.I stared at the ceiling above our bed while Aiden slept beside me.The room was still dark.My phone rested against my chest, the encrypted file still open on the screen.Emotionally compromised.Overly influenced by Aiden Smith.Leadership acceleration without complete vetting.I reread the lines slowly.Then again.The wording irritated m
Silence followed their departure from the courthouse. Each was clearly engrossed in private thoughts, wondering what this sudden, contractual union truly meant. The late afternoon sun cast their shadows across the pavement, stretching their figures into unfamiliar shapes—two strangers now bound tog
The once tasteful and well-decorated living room went blank almost instantly, as though all its color and warmth had been wiped away. The carefully chosen furniture, the elegant drapes, and the polished floors faded into nothing before Arianna’s eyes, triggering another violent wave of dizziness. S
Mrs. Mickelson’s sudden and entirely unexpected entrance brought the tug-of-war between Aiden and Chloe to an abrupt halt. Chloe’s grip on Aiden’s arm loosened instantly, while Aiden’s own tense hold stilled as if someone had snapped a cord mid-pull. The interruption came just in time—Arianna, who
Arianna jumped out of his arms the moment she realized they were no longer alone, her heart slamming painfully against her ribs. Heat rushed to her face as embarrassment washed over her in suffocating waves. She had been caught in a compromising position, pressed too close to the young master, and
