Down near the marina, far away from the bright lights of the city center, sat an old, grey warehouse. To anyone passing by on the street, it looked like an abandoned storage building for old boat parts and rust-covered shipping containers.

Inside the back of the warehouse, however, was a small, hidden apartment. It had no windows, plain concrete walls, and a single metal door secured with a heavy deadbolt.

Victor Montenegro sat at a wooden table in the middle of the room. A single laptop was op

  • PREGNANT BY MY HUSBAND’S RIVAL: THE BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE    CH 211

    Five minutes later, Julian and Elena walked down the quiet, carpeted hallway of the twentieth floor. This floor was reserved strictly for board members and executive guests. It was lined with dark wood paneling, quiet glass offices, and soft gold lighting.They reached the doors of the private board lounge. He turned the metal handle and pushed the door open.Inside, the room was dimly lit. A large leather sofa sat near a floor to ceiling glass window overlooking the city street below. On the coffee table rested a crystal glass half filled with scotch and a gold pen.Sitting on the sofa, holding his head in his hands, was Nathan. He was a man in his late sixties, with thin grey hair, a thick mustache, and an expensive navy blue suit. He looked old, frail, and terribly tired.When the door opened, he jumped slightly, looking up with wide, nervous eyes. When he saw Julian and Elena standing in the doorway, all the color drained instantly from his face."Julian..." Nathan stammered, his

    The morning sun was just beginning to peek over the glass skyscrapers of the city.Julian stood in front of the television screen mounted on his office wall, holding a stone-cold cup of coffee. His eyes were fixed on the ticker tape scrolling along the bottom of the news station.BREAKING NEWS: VANE ENTERPRISES ACCUSED OF MASSIVE FINANCIAL FRAUD. LEAKED DOCUMENTS SHOW OVER $300 MILLION IN HIDDEN DEBT."It's everywhere," Marcus said, stepping into the room with his phone pressed against his ear. He looked like he hadn't slept in three days. "The Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, the local morning news... whoever leaked these files sent them to every major news outlet simultaneously at four in the morning."Julian didn't say a word. He took a slow sip of his cold coffee and stared at the screen. Below the main headline, the stock ticker showed Vane Enterprises' stock price dropping like a heavy stone into deep water. Down twelve percent before the market had even officially open

    Down near the marina, far away from the bright lights of the city center, sat an old, grey warehouse. To anyone passing by on the street, it looked like an abandoned storage building for old boat parts and rust-covered shipping containers.Inside the back of the warehouse, however, was a small, hidden apartment. It had no windows, plain concrete walls, and a single metal door secured with a heavy deadbolt.Victor Montenegro sat at a wooden table in the middle of the room. A single laptop was open in front of him, casting a cold, blue glow across his sharp face. He was wearing a dark jacket, and his hair was slightly messy, but his eyes were completely calm and calculating.A heavy glass of whiskey sat next to his laptop, untouched.The heavy metal door unlocked with a sharp click, and Paul stepped into the room. He looked nervous, his eyes darting around the room before he pulled a chair out and sat down opposite Victor."I just came back from the docks," Paul said, dropping his voice

    The morning sun shone bright over the Vane family estate. The dark clouds from the night before were completely gone, leaving behind a clear blue sky.Inside the main dining room, Julian sat at the head of the long table with his laptop open in front of him. He was wearing a sharp grey suit, sipping black coffee as his fingers flew across the keyboard. Elena sat across from him, reviewing legal documents on her tablet.Neither of them had mentioned the fact that they had shared a bed the night before. They had woken up early, slipped into their professional routines, and focused entirely on the crisis at hand.The heavy double doors of the dining room opened, and Frank walked in, followed closely by Victoria.Victoria looked much better than she had at the docks. She was wearing a simple blue sweater and black pants. Though she had dark circles under her eyes, her face lit up the moment she saw her son running into the hallway with Leo."Mommy!" Toby shouted, charging down the hall as

    Meanwhile, downtown at the central police headquarters, the atmosphere was loud and frantic. Inside a small, windowless interrogation room, Cynthia sat at a metal table. Her expensive dress was wrinkled and stained with dirt from the docks. Her hair was a messy nest, and her mascara was smeared all down her cheeks from crying. Two metal handcuffs bound her wrists to a loop welded directly into the center of the table. The heavy door clicked open, and Captain Miles walked in. He set one cup down in front of Cynthia and sat in the chair across from her. "Drink," Miles said plainly. Cynthia didn't touch the cup. She leaned forward as far as her handcuffs allowed, her eyes wide and wild with panic. "Captain! You have to listen to me!" Cynthia screamed, her voice hoarse from shouting for hours. "You have to get me out of here! You don't understand who Victor Montenegro really is! He is going to kill me! He has people everywhere!" "Calm down, Miss Cynthia," Captain Miles sai

    The sleek black sedan drove through the gates of the old Vane family estate. It was past midnight, and the driveway was lined with soft, warm lights.Julian rubbed his eyes. He was exhausted. Next to him, Elena leaned against the door, staring at her phone as emails kept flooding in about the dock incident. "We need a few hours of sleep," Julian said, stepping out of the car. "The police are handling the search for Victor tonight. There is nothing more we can do until morning." "Agreed," Elena sighed, stepping out into the cool night air. "My brain is completely shut off."They walked up the wide stone steps to the main entrance. The front door opened before Julian could even touch the handle. His mother stood in the foyer wearing an elegant silk robe. She looked calm and composed, as if it were three in the afternoon instead of one in the morning. "You two look like ghosts," Catherine said smoothly, stepping aside to let them in. "It was a long night, Mother," Julian said, taking

    Julian Vane stepped out. He wasn't in a hundred thousand dollar suit surprisingly. He wore a simple black sweater that hugged his broad shoulders and dark jeans. He looked less like a CEO and more like a predator out for a stroll. But as he looked at me standing there in the middle of the parking

    ELENA’s POV The morning after the gala, the sun felt too bright. It felt like it was poking through the heavy curtains of our bedroom. My head still throbbed. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Julian Vane’s face. I saw the way he looked at me, like he owned the air I was breathing.I rolled over

    The museum was filled with the sound of a hundred violins, but to me, it sounded like a funeral.Every step I took in my high heels felt like I was walking on fire. My stomach was in knots, not just from the nerves, but from the fear I felt. In my mind, I felt like I was already showing. I felt li

    The drive home was the quietest thirty minutes of my life. The night still didn’t feel real. Every time I shifted in the driver’s seat, I could still remember the touch of his hands on my waist. Five thousand dollars. I thought to myself. I paid five thousand dollars to feel alive again. I
