I dropped the empty brown paper bags into the small plastic trash can under my desk and sat down in my squeaky chair.

My stomach was full of warm soup, and my nerves were finally calm after spending an hour hidden away in Ren's office.

I reached for my computer mouse to wake up my monitor, but a flash of movement caught my eye.

I looked up through the glass panels set into his office door and saw him reaching for his private phone.

The heavy wood blocked out the actual sound of the ringer, but

    The heavy door to Ren's private office slammed shut at the far end of the hall.The loud, violent crack echoed off the polished tile, ringing in my sensitive ears for several long seconds.I stood perfectly still near the entrance of the boardroom, staring at the empty space where they had just disappeared.He grabbed her arm and dragged her away before she could even introduce herself to the other men sitting at the table.He was probably furious that she showed up unannounced and caused a massive scene in the middle of his workday.Wealthy men hated when their complicated private lives bled into their pristine corporate spaces.I turned around and started the slow walk back to my desk.My legs felt incredibly heavy, and my cheap shoes scuffed against the floor with every step I took.The executive suite was dead silent, the usual chaotic energy completely drained away by the arrival of the powerful guests.I kept my eyes fixed straight ahead, refusing to look at the closed doors I p

    I shoved the heavy wooden door to my private office open with my shoulder and dragged her inside.I let go of her arm and gave her a hard push, sending her stumbling toward the leather couches in the center of the room.I grabbed the edge of the door and slammed it shut behind us with a massive amount of force.The loud crack echoed off the walls, sealing us inside the soundproof space and cutting off the rest of the building.The second the brass latch clicked into place, a sudden, agonizing pain exploded directly behind my ribs.I gasped out loud and stumbled forward, pressing my hand hard against the center of my chest.It felt like someone had driven a hot iron spike straight through my heart and twisted the metal.The air rushed out of my lungs, and my knees actually buckled for a split second.I caught myself on the edge of my heavy wooden desk, gripping the dark surface to stay upright.This was not a normal injury or a phantom ache from the stress of the council meeting.It wa

    Victor slammed his hand flat against the mahogany table, the loud smack echoing across the freezing room."You are testing the limits of our patience, Alpha, and we are tired of these childish games."I leaned back in my leather chair and stared at the older wolf with utter boredom."My patience ran out on Friday evening, Victor, so do not talk to me about limits."Rosalie's father let out a low, warning growl from the other end of the long table.Arthur Hart thought his old money and his pureblood lineage gave him the right to act like he owned my territory.He crossed his arms over his tailored suit jacket and glared at me, his eyes full of arrogant judgment."We did not travel all this way just to listen to your endless excuses, Ren.""You traveled here uninvited, you bypassed my security, and you interrupted my workday," I reminded him.I kept my voice smooth and lethal, refusing to let them see how much they were cornering me."We bypassed your security because you refused to ans

    I kept my dead smile perfectly in place, stripping away her power by treating her like a standard corporate appointment.She wasn't a terrifying rival or a beautiful threat anymore.She was just a visitor who needed an escort down the hall."This is ridiculous," she scoffed, crossing her arms tightly over her designer coat."I am Rosalie Hart, and my father is currently waiting for me in that boardroom.""Thank you, Ms. Hart," I said, typing her name into the spreadsheet with steady clicks.I hit save and pushed my chair back from the desk."What are you doing?" she demanded as I walked around the furniture to stand in front of her."I am going to escort you to your meeting," I told her calmly.I stopped a few feet away from her, making sure to keep a very professional distance between us.I smoothed down the front of my slacks and kept my hands clasped loosely in front of me."I do not need an escort," she snapped, her dark eyes flashing with real anger."I know exactly where the mai

    Fiancé.The single word hung toxic and sharp in the air between us.The ringing in my ears grew deafening, drowning out the faint hum of the office air vents.The junior executives whispering by the water cooler had been right.Ren was engaged to this beautiful, wealthy woman standing right in front of my desk.The world stopped spinning for a long, agonizing second, leaving me trapped in a vacuum where I could barely pull oxygen into my lungs.A fresh, suffocating wave of humiliation washed over me, burning my throat and stinging my eyes like acid.Rosalie Hart watched my face fall, and a cruel, triumphant smirk stretched across her perfect red lips.She clearly enjoyed watching me break."You actually thought you meant something to him, didn't you?" she laughed, her voice echoing sharply in the quiet anteroom.I tried to speak, but my mouth was too dry to form a single syllable."It is honestly pathetic," she sighed, taking a slow step back to look me up and down again.She scanned

    "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Sterling today?"She let out a short, cold laugh that sent a chill down my spine."I do not need an appointment to see him."She took another step closer, bringing with her the strong scent of expensive perfume.It was a heavy, floral smell that instantly made my lingering morning sickness flare up again.I swallowed hard and fought the desperate urge to step back from her."Mr. Sterling is currently in a very important meeting in the main boardroom," I told her firmly."He left strict instructions not to be disturbed this afternoon by anyone.""I am well aware of the meeting taking place," she said smoothly, her tone mocking my professionalism.She reached out and traced a manicured finger along the edge of my desk."My father is currently in that room tearing Silas apart as we speak."My heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat broke out across my forehead.The junior executives by the water cooler said the VIP guests were the in-laws.This woman s
