Zara's body went cold, her eyes widened, heart hammering in her chest.

‘No. The fuck she had to come now?’ She panicked.

Her grip on Ace’s arm loosened as Gina stood in front of her, right beside Irene.

Her long, wavy ginger hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her delicate face, perfect, polished, and utterly infuriating.

Irene’s eyes gleamed with amusement as she glanced between Gina and Zara. “He is your fiancé?” she asked, almost laughing. “Oh, this just got better.”

Zara’s breath hitched. She felt Ace’s grip tighten around her waist firmly, like a silent reassurance. Yet, the heat creeping up her neck betrayed her, her entire body stiff with humiliation.

Gina’s sharp gaze flicked to Zara, her arms folding as she arched a brow. “Boyfriend? Really, Zara Quinn?”

Zara’s lips parted, but the words tangled in her throat. “I— he…”

Irene didn’t bother holding back her laugh this time, throwing her head back in delight. “Oh, Bestie! I know it's hard to let go of the past, but pleas

    “Secure the contract with Mr. Fernandez, and I will leave your company,” Ace replied, his voice equally low, his eyes struggling to leave her lips. He swallowed, his Adams apple bobbing as he bit his lips, trying his best to fight the urge gnawing at him to eat those plum lips. His hand moved instinctively, reaching for her lips, but before he could touch them…“Are you for real?” Zara asked, her brows arched in confusion. Ace snapped out of his daze, exhaling sharply as he stood back and turned away, his heart beating even faster. Ace nodded, “Unless, of course… you’re too afraid to lose to me.”Zara let out a dry laugh, “Well…challenge accepted.” Ace turned back to face her. “Just don't go back on your words,” Ace scoffed, “I don't. But if you are too scared…” Zara's phone went off at that moment, cutting him short. It was a call from her kids’ new school and as soon as she picked it up, the voice came. “Ms. Quinn, please come to the school. Your kids got into a fight.” Z

    “What's going on here?” Zavier’s sharp voice shattered the moment.Zara jerked out of Ace’s hold, anger flooding her veins as she turned to face her brother.Ace’s smirk widened, and without another word, he strode out of the room, his confidence maddening.Even his back looked like him. But anyone with a broad back and shiny brown hair could pull that off—“Zara, I…” “Explain yourself, Zavier!” She snapped, turning her attention and anger to Zavier whose eyes were already darting around the room nervously.“Zara… I-I messed up. Big time.”Zavier’s voice was low, as he quickly moved to the window, yanking the blinds shut and paced around anxiously while Zara followed him with her gaze, anxiously waiting to hear just how much he messed up. He stopped, resting both hands on the desk, his shoulders hunched as if he were carrying the whole world on his back. “Last year, Dad suddenly had to retire…” His words were clipped, hesitant, “I had a huge project at ByteHive and couldn’t focus on

    Ace let out a scoff, “Ms. Quinn, I don't think that is what you should be worried about right now.” The directors exchanged glances, whispering to each other, leaving Zara confused as if she had asked a forbidden question. Zavier quickly stood up and leaned closer to Zara whispering, “Zara, let's talk about this later. Focus on your goal for now.” Zara gritted her teeth with anger as she inhaled deeply, willing her trembling fingers to still. “I am here,” she began, her voice faltering slightly, “not just to honor my father’s vision…” Her throat tightened, and for a moment, her mind blanked. But then, Zavier gave her a small nod, his silent support grounding her.“…but to work alongside you to push this company to new heights,” she finished, her voice stronger now.A faint murmur spread across the room, leaving Zara feeling bare. Mrs. Preston exchanged a skeptical glance with another director, while Mr. Marcus offered an approving nod. Nadia Hamilton’s slender fingers drummed ag

    **One Month Later**“Congratulations, Ms. Quinn. You can now walk without support, but…” Dr. Vera Wang, the middle aged family doctor, paused as she watched the big smile on Zara’s lips flicker. “...not for too long. Just make sure you have a walking stick on a long walk and don’t stand for too long. Give yourself time.”Zara let out a sigh, relieved by the information, her lips curved into a softer and more cautious smile. “Thank you, Dr. Wang.” she murmured. “If you are careful enough, you won't be needing any support whatsoever by next month.” Dr. Vera added. The past month has been all about healing— physically and emotionally. She focused on eating well, taking her medications, and regaining strength. With her mother and Nana taking care of the twins, she had space to recover without pushing herself too hard. She stepped out of the office, the world outside feeling lighter than it had in months. And then—“Congratulations on ditching the wheels, sis!” A loud pop startled h

    “Uncle, can I take some snacks from the snack drawer?” Ella yelled from the lounge area, her voice echoing through the inner compartment of the private jet where Zara and Zavier were.“Yes, you can.” Zavier yelled back, shaking his head in exhaustion. He looked at Zara who managed a small smile on her face. “It’s just the first day and I’m already exhausted. I wonder how you managed for so many years.” His voice carried compassion and pity.Zara sniffled as she brushed a hand full of hair back, catching a glimpse of her disgruntled face in the electrochromic window she was facing.“They might be a handful, but they are the reason I have been able to stay in that house with his horrible parents.” Zara replied, still forcing a smile.Zavier gently held her hand, but her gaze was still averted. “I’ll make them pay,” Zavier muttered.Zara shook her head firmly. “No. They’re mine to deal with.”Zavier’s jaw tightened. He could think of a hundred ways to ruin Ethan’s family, but held his to
