Lena’s POVI was folding the tiny onesies we’d bought the other day when my phone buzzed across the nightstand. The sound startled me; I hadn’t been expecting anyone this early. When I glanced at the screen and saw my brother’s name, my heart squeezed.“Clark,” I breathed, answering quickly.His voice shot down the line, tight and impatient. “Finally. Why the hell haven’t you been picking up? I’ve been calling all morning.”I swallowed, sinking onto the bed. “I didn’t feel ready to talk. I… needed a moment.”“A moment?” His tone was sharp. “Lena, your name is everywhere, Adrian’s everywhere. Reporters are camped outside Damian's company and outside your house. Do you realize the circus this has become?”Tears stung my eyes but I forced my voice steady. “I realize it, Clark. Believe me, I can’t escape it either.”He exhaled hard, the sound ragged. “I saw that bastard’s press conference. Do you know what he’s saying? He’s painting you like some scheming woman who trapped him and now tra

Damian’s POV Dylan was asleep in his crib, his tiny breaths steady and peaceful. Lena had just slipped into bed, her face still drawn with exhaustion though she tried to hide it from me. I stayed a few moments longer in the nursery, my hand resting on the edge of the crib, staring down at the small bundle wrapped in blue. My son. The weight of the word still hit me like a blow each time. I had built an empire from nothing but ruthless decisions and sleepless nights but nothing had ever felt as fragile or as important as the life I was looking at now. I turned off the nightlight and stepped out quietly, shutting the door halfway so Lena could hear if Dylan stirred. My phone buzzed the moment I entered the hallway, it was Alex. “Talk,” I said as soon as I answered. His voice was low, controlled but there was tension underneath. “I’ve been looking into Adrian Huntley since the press conference. He’s pushing hard, interviews, articles, the works. He’s trying to bury your side of the

Lena’s POVI don’t think I slept more than an hour.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Adrian’s face. His voice from that call haunted me, echoing in my head. “I’m going to take back what belongs to me, you and my son.”Even now, just thinking about it made my chest tighten but when I turned my head and saw Damian lying beside me, Dylan cradled safely in his arms, I breathed easier.He had stayed up most of the night. I could see it in the faint shadows under his eyes but he looked calm and steady, like nothing in the world could shake him.I didn’t deserve him.And yet… here he was.“Good morning,” I whispered softly.He turned his head, his dark eyes meeting mine. “Morning.”“Did you sleep?”He shook his head. “Doesn’t matter.” His gaze flicked down to Dylan. “He did.”A small smile touched my lips as I reached to stroke Dylan’s cheek. His tiny mouth twitched in his sleep. “At least one of us had a peaceful night.”Damian looked back at me then, his expression shifting. He sat up sl

Lena’s POVI was in the living room when someone knocked on the door, it was one of Damian’s guards.“Mrs. Blackwell,” he said, his tone calm but serious. “A package just arrived, It’s addressed to you.”My heart skipped. A package? Addressed to me? At a time like this? My arms instinctively tightened around Dylan. “What is it?”“I don’t know, ma’am. It was delivered directly to the gates and cleared by security but it bears official markings.”Official.The word alone made dread sink into me like ice.I shifted Dylan carefully, laying him in his carry bassinet beside me. He stirred but didn’t wake. Then, with hands that were already trembling, I took the brown envelope the guard held out.“Thank you,” I whispered, though my throat was dry.As soon as the guard left, I placed the envelope on the coffee table. My hands stayed above it for a moment, frozen. A part of me didn’t even want to open it, my gut already told me what it was.Still, I tore it open. Papers slid out then my eyes c

Damian’s POVThe next morning, I woke before dawn.Sleep had been a luxury I couldn’t afford, I spent the early hours pacing my study, reviewing numbers, contracts, deals and proof that under my leadership, Blackwell Group had not only survived but thrived. Today was going to meet another set of shareholders.By nine, I was in the car with Jack, heading toward the shareholders’ meeting.“Are you sure about this?” Jack asked cautiously, flipping through his tablet. “You’ve got resistance, some of them… well, sir, they’re not shy about it anymore.”“I don’t need them to like me,” I said coldly, staring out the tinted window. “I need them to respect me and I need their votes.”Jack nodded, though his jaw tightened. He’d seen the same reports I had, whispers of shareholders leaning toward “a change of leadership.” As if my position was something they could trade like stock.When the car pulled up in front of the private club where we’d arranged the meeting, I saw them already arriving.

Damian’s POVThe private meeting was arranged and two more shareholders finally agreed to meet.The restaurant smelled faintly of polished wood and old whiskey, a place where silence was currency and conversations never left the room. I sat in the private room I’d reserved, the low light casting shadows across the table. The clink of ice in crystal glasses was the only sound until the door opened.Mr. Sterling entered first, silver hair, perfect suit, the kind of man who’d learned to keep his face unreadable even when sharks circled. Mr. Choi followed, slimmer, sharper, his gaze assessing from the second he stepped inside both men carried themselves with the kind of authority that came from decades of money moving at their command.Two shareholders, two votes not nearly enough but a start.“Gentlemen,” I greeted, rising slightly before retaking my seat.Sterling gave me a courteous nod, Choi a slight incline of his head. They sat, not touching the drinks already waiting for them.“Dam
