NEVER YOURS TO LOSE One Text, No Answer
The attorney's office was on the fourteenth floor of a building that smelled like old decisions.Corinna noticed everything on the way up. The slow elevator, the receptionist who looked at Stellan first and then at her and recalibrated in real time, the frosted glass door with Gerald H. Fenn — Private Legal Affairs stencilled in gold lettering that had started to peel at the edges. She noticed all of it because noticing kept her from thinking about the letter. About those four words added in different ink by someone she couldn't identify.She doesn't know yet.Stellan held the door open. She walked through without looking at him.The reception area was empty.Not between-appointments empty. Actually empty — chair pushed back from the desk at an angle, a half-finished cup of coffee sitting cold on the surface, a cardigan draped over the back of the chair like its owner had stepped out for thirty seconds and hadn't come back.Corinna and Stellan both stopped at exactly the same moment.
NEVER YOURS TO LOSE The Apartment in the Dark
Nobody spoke for a full ten seconds.Corinna counted them. She did that sometimes when a room became too loud inside — counted seconds and anchored herself to something measurable while everything else shifted. One. Two. Three. Her mother standing in the doorway with twenty years of something on her face. Stellan beside the desk, completely still. The two phones sitting between them like evidence.Seven. Eight. Nine."Close the door," Corinna said.Neva closed it.She didn't sit. Neva Voss rarely sat when she was delivering difficult things — she stood, because sitting felt too much like surrender and she had never been built for surrender. She kept her coat on for the same reason. Like she needed to be ready to leave if the room turned against her.Corinna recognised the habit because she had inherited it."Gerald Fenn came to me twenty years ago," Neva said. "Before Rhys Capital existed. Before any of this." She looked at Stellan carefully. "At the time he was working for your grand
NEVER YOURS TO LOSE What My Mother Knew
Stellan arrived at her office in twenty minutes.Not the building lobby or the reception floor. Her actual office — which meant he had either called ahead or simply walked through every checkpoint with the particular energy of a man who was not stopping for anyone, and nobody had tried to make him.He came through the door and she saw it immediately — the thing she had heard in his voice on the phone, now visible on his face. Not panic. Something more controlled than that, and more frightening because of it. The expression of a man whose entire understanding of his own history had just shifted underneath him and who was holding himself together through sheer force of will.She stood. "Sit down.""I don't want to sit down.""Stellan." Her voice was quiet but firm. "Sit. Down."He sat.She turned her laptop toward him and let him read the investigator's report himself. She watched his eyes move across the screen — fast at first, then slower as the details landed. The account creation da
NEVER YOURS TO LOSE The Proposal He Buried
She didn't sleep, and it was not because she was afraid. She had made a decision somewhere on that drive home to not give fear that particular victory. But her mind wouldn't stop moving. It kept circling back to the message, pulling it apart word by word, looking for the seam between truth and manipulation.Ask him what his father left him in the will. Ask him what he's never told you.The problem was that it felt specific and targeted. Not a general threat designed to create paranoia, but something precise. Like a person pointing at an exact wound they already knew existed.At two in the morning she got up, made tea that she didn't drink, and sat at her kitchen table with her laptop open and every document Edmund had ever sent her spread across the surface. She went through all of it again from the beginning. The merger proposal, the timeline,Marcus Vane's server inquiry, and Roland's property registration three streets from her office.She was looking for Stellan's name.She found i

Stellan was already on his feet before Corinna could react.He turned the phone over, face down, like hiding the photograph would undo the fact that someone had been standing outside that window four minutes ago watching both of them through the glass. His jaw was tight. His eyes moved to the window immediately — scanning the street beyond it with the focused attention of a man running calculations he didn't want to be running."They're gone," Corinna said quietly. She hadn't moved from her chair. "If they wanted us to see that photo, they're already gone.""You don't know that.""I know Roland." She picked up her water glass and took a slow, deliberate sip. Not because she was calm — because she had learned, a long time ago, that the most dangerous thing you could do when someone was trying to frighten you was let them see it working. "He doesn't confront. He observes. He collects. He wants us rattled and second-guessing every move we make." She set the glass down. "So we're not goin
NEVER YOURS TO LOSE The Wrong Kind of Sorry
Corinna read the message twice.Then she looked up at Stellan and watched his face do something she had never seen in three years of marriage — crack. Not dramatically. Not with noise. Just a quiet fracture behind his eyes, the specific expression of a man realising that someone he trusted completely had been watching him the entire time."How long has Marcus had access to your personal phone?" she said.Stellan's jaw tightened. "He doesn't.""He knew you were with me tonight." She kept her voice even. "You didn't tell anyone where you were going. Your assistant only knew the club name, not who you were meeting." She slid the phone back across the table. "So either Marcus has someone watching you physically, or he has access to something he shouldn't."The silence that followed was the kind that had texture.Stellan picked up the phone. He looked at the message again. Something moved through his expression — not just anger. Something older than that. The particular betrayal of a perso
