RECLAIMING MY LIFE FROM THE UNTOUCHABLE CEO chapter 260
POV: Hazel"Someone else still has something left to lose tonight." I read the message aloud, my voice shaking now despite every effort to hold it steady, and watched Diane's exhausted face turn suddenly sharp with alarm."That is not from me," she said quickly, glancing toward her own phone still resting silent on the desk. "I promise you, Hazel, whatever that message is, I did not send it.""Then who," Julian demanded, already moving protectively closer to my side.Diane's expression shifted rapidly through fear and calculation before finally settling on something like grim understanding. "My grandmother's agreement named three generations as beneficiaries," she said slowly. "I always assumed that meant only my line. But if there is someone else with a legitimate claim, someone I have never known about, they would have every reason to want me silenced before I could hand this file to you at all."Reyes moved instantly toward the door, scanning the darkened hallway beyond with the sa

POV: Hazel"Too late for either of us to matter." Diane Voss said the words so calmly that for one suspended moment I almost forgot she was the woman who had spent twenty years quietly engineering my entire life without my knowledge.She stood near the window with her hands folded in front of her, composed in a way that reminded me uncomfortably of Grace, though something colder sat behind her eyes, something that had clearly survived far longer without ever needing to raise its voice. "Please," she said, gesturing toward the chairs across from her desk. "Sit. I promise you are in no immediate danger, whatever Vincent may have led you to believe.""Forgive me if I do not trust that promise," I said, remaining standing beside Julian, Reyes positioning himself quietly near the door behind us.Diane's mouth curved into something that was almost a smile. "Fair enough," she said. "I have earned considerably less trust than that over the years, I suppose.""You structured my accident," I sa

POV: Hazel"Now I have to decide what happens to both of you." I read the message twice, my hands gone so cold around the phone that I nearly dropped it entirely, and looked up to find Vincent's face had drained of every remaining trace of color."She is watching this office," he said quietly, rising fast from behind his desk. "She always said she would know if I ever talked. I did not believe her until right now.""Diane," I said, already moving toward the door."Or someone working for her," Vincent said, following close behind me. "You need to leave. Now, Hazel. Whatever protection your husband arranged outside, use it immediately."I pushed through the door to find Reyes already alert, his hand hovering near his jacket, his eyes scanning the hallway with the same sharp focus I remembered from the night the truss had fallen months earlier. "We need to move," I told him, and he nodded once, already guiding me firmly toward the stairwell rather than the elevator, his palm steady again
RECLAIMING MY LIFE FROM THE UNTOUCHABLE CEO chapter 257
POV: Hazel"I am not letting you walk into that office by yourself." Julian said it before the elevator doors had even fully closed behind Vincent, his voice low and immovable in a way I had rarely heard from him before."He specifically said alone," I reminded him, though my own pulse was hammering hard enough that I understood his fear completely, even as I refused to let it change my mind. "If we ignore that, we may lose the only person inside that building willing to tell us anything at all.""Or it is a trap," Julian said, "and you walk into a room with no one to help you if something goes wrong.""Reyes can wait outside the office," I said carefully. "Close enough to hear if I raise my voice, far enough that Vincent believes I came exactly as he asked." I paused, softening my tone as I watched the fear behind Julian's composed exterior refuse to fully settle. "I trained my body once to survive things far more physically dangerous than a private conversation. I can do this."Juli
RECLAIMING MY LIFE FROM THE UNTOUCHABLE CEO chapter 256
POV: Hazel"You have twelve hours before the board meets privately to finalize the vote." I read the message aloud, my voice flat with disbelief, and watched Julian's exhausted expression sharpen instantly into something fierce and focused.We had barely slept in two days, the penthouse slowly filling with the quiet, controlled chaos of Marcus, Ivy, and Reyes spreading files across the dining table like a war room none of us had asked to build. Somewhere beneath the surface of my own fear, a small, stubborn part of me recognized this feeling. I had trained my entire body once to survive far worse than exhaustion, hours of rehearsal that ended in blistered feet and trembling knees, and I found myself reaching for that same discipline now, breathing through the fear instead of letting it decide anything for me."Vincent Cole called an emergency session," Reyes confirmed, scrolling quickly through his tablet. "Officially to discuss quarterly projections. Unofficially, every source I have
RECLAIMING MY LIFE FROM THE UNTOUCHABLE CEO chapter 255
POV: Hazel"What happened to your mother." I asked the question so quietly I almost hoped Julian would not hear it, even as I watched every trace of color drain slowly from his face across the kitchen counter between us.He set his glass down with careful, deliberate control, the kind of stillness I had learned over five years meant he was fighting hard to keep something enormous locked safely behind his composure. "She died when I was twelve," he said finally. "A car accident. I do not see what that has to do with any of this.""The message specifically said to ask you," I said gently, sliding my phone across the counter so he could read the words himself. "Twenty years is a long time to wait."Julian read it twice, his jaw tightening with each pass, and when he finally looked up at me, something raw and unguarded had cracked open behind his eyes. I had seen him angry before, and frightened once or twice in the weeks since the truss had fallen, but I had never seen this particular ex
