AUTHOR’S POV

Aiden Sterling sat in his office with the curtains drawn, staring at the mountain of files and photographs he had been coming through for weeks. His hair, which was always neat, had grown streaks of silver in a matter of days.

The house was quiet as he had laid off most of the staff. He couldn’t afford them, and he was drowning in debt. All as a result of Mira’s actions. And his. He knew he couldn’t blame it all on his wife. He had a role to play in all of this.

The hospital had been his. He knew what was happening but made no real effort to stop it because he had a tiny sliver of hope that he refused to admit at first that the trial would work and change their lives. Coward. He admitted he was one.

Now, while debtors breathed down his nose, he was desperately searching for his child. The one he had thrown out without a second thought when all he could think of was acquiring more money and protecting his reputation.

He was a terrible father. That he realised after Amanda’

    AUTHOR’S POV“Where are my little troublemakers?” Theon called and chuckled lowly when the sounds of little footsteps started to run down the stairs. He braced himself as they slammed into him.“We are here, Daddy,” Eliza giggled, bouncing on her feet, making her little pigtails bounce as well. “Is mummy back?” she asked, peeking behind him at the door.Theon crouched to their height and gathered them in his arms, “Remember what we planned?” he asked with a playful wink, “This is very important to Daddy and Mummy, and I need you to do it perfectly. Can I count on you?” he asked with a serious tone.“Yes, Daddy,” Milo shouted, nodding his head furiously, “We can do it,”“Me too,” Eliza said, wrapping her hands around his neck.Theon smiled and kissed both their cheeks. He was nervous as well, and as a result, had checked everything thrice already. There was nothing else to keep him busy, and Sohie had chased him out of the garden because he was fussing so much.Jeremy and Malone laughe

    AUTHOR’S POVThe silence in the boardroom was no longer filled with tension but with disbelief. They couldn’t believe the audacity of Julian.“Julian, calm down,” One of the board members yelled in warning, but Julian’s glare forced the man to back down.Julian could feel his voice becoming hoarse as he breathed harshly. His words echoed in the room, and it wasn’t enough. Rage burned inside him. The anger was overwhelming, and he wasn’t even done.The mask he had always worn had disappeared. Gone was the refined man the board members always knew, the Julian before them had gone feral with greed and hatred. He was a beast.No one moved at first. They all watched him with the mix of surprise, fear, disgust, and wonder. A lot of them could not believe that a human was capable of harbouring so much hatred for another.“What have you done to yourself?” Theon spoke, breaking the silence, “I can’t even think of something I may have done to make you think I only ever thought of you as a slav

    AUTHOR’S POVThe board members murmured among themselves, while glancing at Theon and Elle, would sat at the top of the table. They didn’t understand why Theon had called for an urgent board meeting when the conglomerate wasn’t in any crisis they were aware of.They couldn’t help but shuffle awkwardly because Theon, who had insisted they be here first thing in the morning, had yet to say a word. His image screamed authority. While he had always been intimidating at every board meeting, today, his presence was suffocating.Elle was also quiet. Her gaze also unnerved them. They wanted to ask questions, but none of them could muster the audacity to speak. They could only wait to see what the meeting was about.Julian was also present. He was also surprised when he got the message yesterday night. He was bothered a little. His plan to take over the conglomerate was in motion, and it should start by the end of the week.He had planned something that would put the conglomerate in temporary

    ELLEI couldn’t sleep. I should have been able to, given that Theon’s arm was around my waist as he held me close. His breathing was warm against the back of my neck.I was exhausted, because hours before, Theon had unravelled me in a way that I had almost forgotten. My body hummed deliciously with the after touch, and honestly, I craved more even though my body protested hardly against these thoughts.Theon grunted and pulled me closer, burying his face into the crook of my neck as he hummed in satisfaction. I guess I could say that we were back to where we were. But even with the emotions buzzing, I couldn’t think because my head was filled with so many thoughts.The truth about Julian hung above me. I was starting to regret my decision not to tell Theon because it had been bothering me nonstop. We had decided to start things all over again, without secrets, but I was still keeping a big one from him.I turned to my back, and Theon’s hand fell to my midsection, still unwilling to l

    ELLEI couldn’t stop watching Theon as he drove. He claimed we had a meeting we needed to attend together, but something about his outfit didn’t feel like it was something he would wear for such an official outing.“Why are you looking at me like that?” He mused with a side glance, as a smile tugged at his lips, “You’ve been giving me that suspecting look since we left the house”“That’s because I don’t trust you,” I grumbled, folding my arms across my chest, “are you sure we are going for a business meeting?” I asked again with an arched brow.“And what makes you think I am lying?” He teased with a chuckle, and I huffed.“One. This is not the way to the office, and two, those are not work clothes,” I pointed at the suit he was wearing.“I wear a suit to work,” he laughed, but I shook my head.“Not this brand,” I deadpanned, and he laughed again.“I guess we’ll see about that,” he said, making a motion of zipping his mouth and throwing the keys away.“By the way, I said it was a busin

    AUTHOR’S POVIt’s cold, yet Jeremy was sweating like crazy. His hands trembled as he put the USB device into his laptop. He had been at it for hours nonstop, combing through the net, even places that people wouldn’t know how to find, to locate that thing that Julian wanted to hide.Jeremy’s fears were his driving force. Every time that he thought he was tired, he would remember that night, and the fear that coursed through his lungs when those men were so close.Jeremy didn’t think he would be able to breathe easily until Julian was locked up, if possible. All he could think of was Julian coming back to hurt him if he didn’t get something on the sick bastard soon.“This is it,” he gasped when the file finally opened. The files before him were undeniable. He felt sick as he looked at every word in the folder he had just opened.Jeremy pushed back from the table, and his chair scraped against the floor loudly. Elle and Sophie glanced up from where they had been doing some work with a fr
