Down below, inside the estate’s basement, the holding rooms felt icy and distant - gray slabs underfoot, metal grilles cutting through space, bright lights glaring down without mercy. She stayed there because I said so, waiting on officers to take her into custody. Comforts? None. Exceptions? Not a chance. This place showed exactly who she now was.
Outside her cell I stood, fingers tucked into coat pockets, eyes fixed on the one person I used to trust above all

Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 150: The Obsession That Destroyed Her
Gwen's POVThe interrogation room was too bright.Overhead, fluorescent lights hissed like something restless, throwing sharp shadows that turned my skin dull and deepened the hollows around my eyes. Cold seeped up through the metal table beneath where the cuffs held my wrists tight. Across from me, two detectives took their seats - one older, face worn down by long hours, the other younger, studying me as if I were pinned on a slide. In the far corner, a camera caught every second, its red eye pulsing without pause.Broken, that is what they believed I was. Yet here stands a different story.Broken well before this seat ever held me, though they never saw it coming. Not a clue crossed their minds when they placed me here.Forward I leaned, cheeks wet with tears - actual tears now, burning and sharp. That polished front, kept tight so long, broke apart. Cracked open. Left behind: something rough, twisted, bare.“Ethan was always mine,&

Ethan's POVDown below, inside the estate’s basement, the holding rooms felt icy and distant - gray slabs underfoot, metal grilles cutting through space, bright lights glaring down without mercy. She stayed there because I said so, waiting on officers to take her into custody. Comforts? None. Exceptions? Not a chance. This place showed exactly who she now was.Outside her cell I stood, fingers tucked into coat pockets, eyes fixed on the one person I used to trust above all others.She looked broken.Her makeup had vanished, skin now splotchy and bare. Tangled hair clung to damp sides of her face, tangled with tears. The dress, once crisp and costly, hung loose and marked by spills. Gone was the poised presence that ruled gala rooms. Shaking slightly, she sat low on cold metal, posture curled, voice silent, world narrowed.Up she glanced when I came near. A heartbeat passed, maybe hope showed in those tired eyes. But then - my face gave it awa
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 148: Stripped of Power
Ethan's POVThat morning, the air inside the meeting room pressed down more than it normally did.Under the bright ceiling lights, the dark wood table shone smooth and deep. Still, silence pressed down like weight. Board members stayed in their regular spots. Yet gaps gaped - Victor gone, others missing too, those who stood by Gwen before everything broke. Open folders, lit screens covered each place. Conversation didn’t spark. Laughter never came close. What happened with Gwen left something sour even in how people breathed.At the top of the table, I took my seat, Sam at my side. Beside me, she’d refused the screen, wanting instead to sit in the real space where decisions take shape. Not just for show anymore - her place there mattered now, weight behind it. They listen to her, the ones around the table, sometimes leaning on what she says like a wall holding up walls. This moment needed her voice, sharp and clear, while we cleared away whatever tra
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 147: No More Running
Sam's POVThe security room on the lower level of the estate had become my temporary command center.Along one wall, several monitors glowed, displaying real-time views from the property's cameras and a few outside streams I’d linked without notice. Seated in a tall chair, I felt Ethan just behind, his palms settled on my shoulders. Warmth came off him, quiet but certain, like he’d been there long before this moment began.Her need showed up before I even saw her coming. The moment hung heavy with what she’d do next.A while back, well ahead of the last showdowns, I told my lawyer to set up urgent court barriers and lock down assets just in case. Those papers sat filed and hidden, waiting to snap into place the second Gwen took action. Hidden deliveries went out too - anonymous bundles packed with facts, sent to global police and air safety offices. They showed her ties to a killing probe, money tricks she used, patterns of control, ever
Rebirth and Contracted to the CEO Chapter 146: No Way Out
Gwen's POVA locked space still bends when someone finds the right spot. The room felt like metal walls, yet every barrier has its soft place.Hours passed while I studied the junior guard - his gaze twitchy, darting. That kid always seemed starved when he believed nobody saw. Not part of Ethan's top crew. Expendable, really. Cash made him lean forward. Simple to steer.Just then, the older guard left for some air. That was my chance to act.A secret bundle was tucked inside my dress hem - money for crises, some trinkets saved when they first looked through our things. Into his hand I slipped them as he passed the cup; words came out shaky, edged with need that felt real enough.“Help me,” I whispered, eyes wide and pleading. “I’ll make it worth your while. There’s more where that came from. A lot more. Just get me a burner phone and a fake ID. That’s all I need.”His eyes flicked toward the exit. St

Gwen's POVA space meant for waiting felt like a slap. It mocked those inside without saying a word.Nothing on the walls. The table was metal, fixed to the floor. Above me a bright light burned, draining color from my face, deepening shadows under my eyes. Not even a mirror broke the emptiness. Outside, no view - just solid wall where glass should be. By the door, two guards stood still, their silence heavy, looking anywhere but at me. My phone was gone. So were my jewels. Even the shoes on my feet disappeared. A hard chair held me in place, its edge digging into my thighs. The fancy dress, once sharp and tailored, now hung off me in messy folds. Metal cuffs stayed locked around my wrists. Each second that ticked by made me feel thinner, less real, like smoke about to vanish.This was never meant to occur.Control was meant to rest in my hands. Yet here we are.Years slipped by while I tied my threads tighter into Sterling's life. Sweet grins came
