SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 61: THE BIRTH + THE OFFER
*Friday | 10:42pm | Blackwood Hospital, Labor Room*The room smelled like antiseptic and fear. Sophia was screaming. Sophia said, “It hurts! God, it hurts!” Nurse said, “Breathe, Ms. Hayes. You’re doing great.” Ryan held her hand. His knuckles were white. Ryan said, “I’m here. Look at me. Breathe with me.” Sophia squeezed. Sophia said, “Don’t let go.” Ryan said, “I won’t.” Victoria was in the corner. Pacing. On the phone. Victoria said, “Get me the best OB. I don’t care what it costs.” Doctor came in. Calm. Doctor said, “She’s 7cm. Baby’s early but strong. We’re going to deliver in here.” Sophia cried out again. Sophia said, “Ryan...” Ryan leaned down. Ryan said, “I’m right here. You’re not alone.” Sophia said, “I’m scared.” Ryan said, “I know. But you’re stronger than you think.” He meant it. ---*Friday | 11:15pm | Hospital Waiting Room*Elena got the text from Maya: _“Sophia in labor. Blackwood Hospital.”_Elena stared at it for 30 seconds. Then she got up. Sh
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 60: FAMILY DINNER
*Friday | 6:00pm | Victoria’s Penthouse, Dining Room*The table was set for 4. Crystal. Silver. Too quiet. Victoria was at the head. Wine glass in hand. Sophia sat to her right. 8 months pregnant. Rubbing her back. Ryan sat across from them. He hadn’t touched his food. Victoria said, “Eat, Ryan.” Ryan said, “I’m not hungry.” Victoria sighed. Victoria said, “We need to talk.” Sophia looked at Ryan. Soft smile. Sophia said, “Baby, we’re worried about you.” Ryan didn’t look up. Ryan said, “Don’t call me that.” Victoria put her glass down. Victoria said, “The SEC called me today.” Ryan’s head snapped up. Ryan said, “What did they say?” Victoria said, “They’re leaning toward dropping the case. For now.” Ryan exhaled. Ryan said, “Why?” Sophia said, “Because we gave them something better. Ellison’s wife. She signed off on the transfers.” Ryan frowned. Ryan said, “That was never in the report.” Victoria smiled. Victoria said, “We made it be.” The room went cold. Ryan
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 59: THE OFFER 3
*Thursday | 7:30am | Carter Holdings, COO Office*Elena hadn’t slept. Again. Her eyes were red. Coffee wasn’t helping. Maya came in with a folder and set it down hard. Maya said, “Bad news.” Elena said, “Worse than SEC?” Maya said, “Board called an emergency meeting. 3pm. They want to vote on removing you as COO. ‘Conflict of interest with ongoing investigation’.” Elena laughed. No humor. Elena said, “Victoria.” Maya said, “And Garrison’s backing her.” Elena nodded. Elena said, “They want me gone completely.” ---*Thursday | 9:00am | Elena’s Office*Ryan knocked. He looked worse than yesterday. Ryan said, “Can I come in?” Elena said, “You don’t have to ask.” Ryan sat. Didn’t touch anything. Ryan said, “I called my lawyer. He says if I’m indicted, Carter Holdings can’t keep me on payroll.” Elena said, “I know.” Ryan said, “I’m sorry.” Elena looked up. Elena said, “For what?” Ryan said, “For bringing this to your door.” Elena stood up and walked to him. Elena said,
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 58: SEC CALL
*Wednesday | 8:00am | Carter Holdings, COO Office*Two men in suits were already waiting. SEC. Badge and all. Elena said, “Ms. Carter?” Elena said, “Yes.” Agent 1 said, “We’re here about Blackwood Holdings. Embezzlement. $40 million.” Elena nodded. Elena said, “Come in.” Maya closed the door. Agent 2 said, “We need to speak to Ryan Hayes.” Elena said, “He’s my employee.” Agent 1 said, “He’s a suspect.” Elena’s jaw ticked. Elena said, “He’s in a meeting. You can wait.” ---*Wednesday | 8:15am | Conference Room*Ryan sat across from two SEC agents. No lawyer. Yet. Agent 1 said, “Mr. Hayes. On August 3rd, 6 months ago, you authorized a $10M transfer to Cayman account 7741.” Ryan said, “I didn’t.” Agent 2 slid a paper. Agent 2 said, “This is your digital signature. And your login.” Ryan looked at it. Ryan said, “Someone used my credentials.” Agent 1 said, “Who?” Ryan said, “I don’t know.” Agent 1 said, “You were VP of Strategy. Only 3 people had access. You, CFO Elli
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 57: THE AUDIT
*Monday | 6:12am | Elena’s Apartment*Elena didn’t sleep. "You want to use a child, Victoria? Then we’re done being civil."She said it out loud again in the dark. Her voice sounded tired. She made coffee. Burned her tongue. Her phone had 43 missed calls. All press. All about Victoria. She didn’t answer. At 6:30 she texted Maya: _“Come early. We’re auditing Blackwood.”_Maya replied in 2 seconds: _“On my way.”_Elena looked out the window. Voss Tower was still on. She wondered if Adrian slept at all. She wondered why she cared. She shut the thought down. ---*Monday | 7:45am | Carter Holdings, 20th Floor, Finance*The finance team looked dead. CFO Dara said, “We started at 5am.” Elena said, “Show me.” Dara pulled up a spreadsheet. Red lines everywhere. Dara said, “Six months ago. $40 million. Moved out of Blackwood Holdings. 4 transfers. Cayman, Zurich, Singapore.” Elena leaned in. Elena said, “Who authorized?” Dara clicked. Two names came up. Dara said, “Ryan Hayes.
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 56: VICTORIA’S VISIT
Elena’s blood went cold. Because that notebook was from her storage unit. From the apartment she moved out of 3 weeks ago. A place Victoria had no right to be. Sunday | 7:00am | Elena’s ApartmentThe TV was still on mute. Victoria. Smiling. Holding the black notebook. Elena sat on the floor. Coffee cold. Maya came in and turned the TV off. Maya said, “You’ve been watching it for 3 hours.” Elena said, “She broke into my storage.” Maya said, “I know.” Elena said, “Three weeks ago. While I was in court.” Maya said, “What’s in it?” Elena said, “Notes. Budgets. Things I wrote when I came back. Nothing illegal. But she’ll twist it.” Maya said, “Then we sue.” Elena nodded. Elena said, “After work.” ---Sunday | 9:30am | Carter Holdings, COO OfficeThe office was full. Board Member 1 said, “She’s calling you a thief.” Board Member 6 said, “She’s saying you’re unfit to run a company.” Board Member 8 said, “The board is getting calls about the baby.” Elena looked up.
