In a world away from all the noise of the event just hours before, was the private hospital where Jonathan was admitted into.

Wren was in the stiff chair pulled close to the bed; she was still in her silver dress, but made a mental note to change out of it only when she was ready to

The doctors concluded that Jonathan must have fallen down the stairs because he had severe traumatic brain injury. He wasn't moving, obviously. And there were tubes around his body and monitors blinking beside his b

    Lorenzo writhed weakly on the ground with a low groan of agony. Blood began to bloom from a gash above his temple, matting his dark hair. The gun he was holding skittered under the desk.“You disgusting son of a bitch!" Felix roared and vaulted over the back of the sofa. He descended on the writhing Lorenzo, punching him again and again and again.“Vile piece of garbage!” Felix snarled.Every word coming out of Felix was followed by a hard blow.“You think you can just take whatever you want? You think you own people? Coward hiding behind money and guns! I'm going to make sure you suffer for what you've done."He grabbed a fistful of Lorenzo's blood-slicked hair and slammed his head back against the floor, punching him again.Meanwhile, Wren had scrambled back, pressing herself against the wall, hands clamped over her mouth as she watched the brutal scene through a haze of tears.The violence scared her, but Felix’s fa

    Lorenzo Guzman turned his body a full ninety degrees to face Wren, one thigh rising higher on the cushion.‘So, Miss Ellington. The last true Ellington," he mused, “That must be a heavy crown to wear alone.”Wren kept her hands folded on her knees. She sighed. let“Mr. Lorenzo, what is it you wanted to talk about that couldn’t be said in front of our counsel? My board’s patience is running thin, so I’d appreciate it if we got straight to the point.”He leaned back a little, "The point, Miss Ellington, is what a partnership actually rests on. You’re here for a transaction. You want money in exchange for stability. I get that. But I believe it matters to know the person behind the title. It makes the collaboration feel more real. Don’t you agree?”Wren’s annoyance showed for half a second before she pushed it down.“With all due respect, the kind of :knowing’ that matters

    A woman brought in a tray with a carafe of water, three crystal glasses, and a small plate of delicate pastries, leaving immediately after she set them down on the table.Wren nodded Felix was staring at her oddly.She raised her eyebrows, silently mouthing “What?”He pointed two of his fingers at his own eye, then gestured minutely towards her.Wren, confused, touched her own cheek and realised some part of her fallen false lashes had stuck to her undereye.She plucked the strand off her face, looking away like nothing happened.Soon, a man walked in, and it wasn’t Hector.He was tall, probably in his early forties, with sharp, good-looking features. He wore a beautifully tailored navy suit without a tie.“My sincerest apologies for keeping you waiting,” he said in a cultured baritone as he walked around the desk to shake their hands. “Unavoidable delays.”He acted like a gentleman, but there was

    On the large screen in the conference room was a short list. Wren was standing in front of the screen, tapping her pointer against the glass next to the first name.“We’ve narrowed it down to three possible investors to cover the money Ashner pulled out. We’ve done the first round of checks, and the options are getting fewer.” She moved the pointer down the list. “The SHAR-AFAI group works too closely with one of our competitors. And the Dubai office is asking for terms we just can’t agree to.” The pointer stopped on the last name. “So that leaves one main option if we want to move ahead: Primavera Holdings.”She clicked the remote, and a logo appeared on the screen. “They’re a Mexican-based investment firm that buys and grows small to mid-sized companies. The money is there, and their terms are the most straightforward we’ve seen. Hopefully this works out. It has to.”While she was speaking

    That bizarre offer from Hector Guzman was still on Felix’s mind.Was it wise? The ‘investing’ part was clearly a front door something else. But getting his company back from Ellington Innovations was the real bait. They in obviously weren’t planning to sweetly convince Wren to hand Morell Industries back.Coercion. Blackmail. Leverage. These, and many others could be used to force her hand.Felix could already guess who it was calling his phone for the umpteenth time.“Have you seen the lawyer? Did you follow up? What is the plan?”“I’m looking into some stuff.”“What stuff? You of all people should know we don't have any time for gallivanting. My life is currently a mess and you expect me keep waiting on “some stuff”? Look if I need up dying in this mess, my blood will be on your neck, and I will continue to haunt you, hear me?!”She screamed the last words so loud that

    The GPS voice was calm and robotic in the quiet car. Felix followed the directions, turning off the main highway to smaller and smaller roads with no signs. Agnes’s message was still on his phone in the passenger seat: 5 o’clock is the time, don’t be late. He wasn’t going there. He was here instead.This was risky. Stupid, even. Felix knew that. He could be driving right into a trap Wren set up. Or he could walk into a room full of people with cameras, ready to humiliate him on a livestream.Or (and this was the thought keeping his hands steady on the wheel), it could be real.This unknown caller might be someone who actually wanted to help. But this was even scarier, because if they wanted to help Felix, they’d want something back in return, and it might be something bigger than a company he didn’t even own anymore.The lawyer Agnes found was the safe, logical option. Wasn't it better to fight with paperwork and legal cases?

    “Who the fuck is tailing me?” Wren asked immediately William picked up her call.“This stalker. Who are they? Why?”“Dad didn’t give me the details but he’s looking into it. But as for who, it’s obvious it’s someone who will benefit from keeping an eye on you. Anyone come to mind?”“But….” Wren tri

    “Get your filthy hands off me,” Simone shrieked as soon as she was being taken out of the building.“Don’t you know who my brother is? Or my family?” She shouted again.She was continuously stared at by the people in the restaurant and Simone caught one woman stifling a laugh behind a napkin.“You!

    Wren approached the imposing building, forcing herself to shake off the image of the concern in Felix’s eyes last night—something she hadn’t seen in three years. It was as if the moment they divorced she’d torn off Felix’s mask; his sudden change of face was beyond anything she could have imagined.
