SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 67: RYAN’S DESK
*Monday | 8:00am | Elena’s Office*Maya was pacing. Maya said, “Again. From the top.” Elena stood by the window. Blazer buttoned. Coat from 3 years ago folded in a box on her shelf. Elena recited, Elena said, “It was a board decision. Based on 18 months of evidence. We do not tolerate theft from our employees.” Maya said, “Good. Again, but look at me.” Elena turned. Elena said, “It was a board decision. Based on 18 months of evidence. We do not tolerate theft from our employees.” Maya said, “Perfect. And if she asks about the 200 Blackwood hires?” Elena said, “Then I say we can be merciful and just at the same time.” Maya smiled. Maya said, “You’ve got this, Ms. Carter.” Knock. Assistant said, “Toke Martins from _The Morning Current_ is here.” ---*Monday | 8:30am | Carter Tower | 30th Floor Studio*Cameras. Lights. Hot. Toke Martins. Famous. Sharp tongue. Loved to start fights on live TV. Toke said, “Ms. Carter. Thank you for coming.” Elena said, “Thank you for havin

*Friday | 5:02pm | Elena’s Office*Elena set the phone down. The picture of Nkechi was still glowing on the screen. Elena looked at Linda and smiled. Small. Elena said, “So it was you.” Linda’s eyes widened. She wasn’t shaking. Just surprised. Linda said, “Ms. Carter... you remember?” Elena said, “Sit with me, Linda.” Linda sat. Still proper. Still nervous, but not scared. Elena said, “That was your sister?” Linda nodded. Linda said, “Yes. Nkechi. She was nine then.” Linda said, “I saw you at the bus station that day. You were alone on the bench. You looked... cold.” Elena said, “I was.” Linda said, “I wanted to come myself. But I was with those women. Sophia’s friends. I didn’t know you. So I told Nkechi to give you the coat. I said, ‘Tell her it’s from someone who cares.’” Elena leaned forward. Elena said, “Can I ask you something?” Linda said, “Of course.” Elena said, “Your file said your father owned schools. You came from a good home. Why did you apply to be my a
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 65: THE ONE HIRE
*Thursday | 3:00pm | Elena’s Office*The room was quiet. Too quiet. Elena sat behind the desk. Her hands were still cold. Not from the AC. From the memory. _Three years ago._ Rain was hitting the roof of the bus station like nails. She was 24. No ring. No job. No house. Ryan had kicked her out that morning. She had one duffle bag. One card with $34. She sat on the bench for 6 hours. Shivering. People walked past. No one looked. Then a small hand touched her knee. A girl. Maybe 9. Braids. Wearing a school sweater 2 sizes too big. Girl didn’t talk much. Just held out a thick grey coat. Girl said, “You’re cold.” Elena looked up. Eyes red. Elena said, “I'm fine love.” Girl shook her head. Girl said, “It’s okay.” Girl handed her over the grey coat and was already gone. Running into the crowd. Elena tried to give it back the next day. Folded it. Put it on the bench and sat there with it.Elena sat there 10 more minutes. Then the wind cut through her again. She picked up t
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 64: THE EMAIL
*Wednesday | 11:30am | Carter Holdings Boardroom*The table was full. Elena stood at the head. Black suit. No smile. She looked at all of them. Elena said, “Three months ago I walked out of this room with nothing. Today I’m walking back in as CEO.” Silence. Elena said, “I’m not here for revenge. Carter is bleeding because we chased the wrong deals and trusted the wrong people. Garrison proved that.” Daniel Okoro nodded. Elena said, “So here’s what we do. We stop pretending. We cut what doesn’t work. We pay what we owe. And we rebuild.” She turned to Daniel. Elena said, “Thank you, Daniel. For the vote. For the risk.” Daniel said, “You earned it.” Elena turned to Mrs. Adebayo. Elena said, “Mrs. Adebayo. Thank you. For seeing past the noise.” Mrs. Adebayo said, “The company needs you.” Elena looked at James Liu. Elena said, “James. Thank you. For not letting them bury us.” James nodded. Elena looked at the rest. The ones who voted no. Elena said, “And to the rest of yo
SHE WAS HIS WIFE. NOW SHE'S HIS CEO CHAPTER 63: THE AUCTION
*Sunday | 2:00am | Sophia’s Phone*Sophia was still holding it. Lawyer said, “Ms. Lane. The court appointed a trustee. They’re recommending we liquidate. Sell all non-essential assets at auction.” Sophia said, “Auction!?”The line went dead. Baby started crying in the next room. Ryan came running in. Ryan said, “What’s wrong?” Sophia didn’t answer. She just stared at the wall. ---*Sunday | 9:00am | Carter Holdings, Emergency Board Meeting*The room was chaos. Garrison was at the head of the table. Sweating. Garrison said, “We bid on Blackwood’s client list. It’s cheap now. We take it.” Board Member 1 - Daniel Okoro said, “We don’t have cash for that.” Board Member 2 - Mrs. Adebayo said, “And we don’t have leadership. The SEC is asking questions about you, Garrison.” Garrison laughed. Garrison said, “The SEC asks everyone questions.” Door opened. Two FBI agents. Agent said, “Mr. Garrison Cole? You’re under arrest for securities fraud, wire fraud, and obstruction.” The

*Two Weeks Ago | Warning #1*Blackwood Tower. Boardroom. Marcus Lane was slamming a report. Marcus said, “$400M due in 60 days. To who?” CFO said, “Vendors. Contractors. The Miami hotel build.” Marcus said, “And?” CFO said, “And the bank. $1.2B line of credit. Interest due.” Marcus looked at Sophia. Marcus said, “Call Victoria. We need Hayes to help us float this.” Sophia said, “She hasn’t returned my calls.” Marcus said, “Keep calling. We’re family.” Sophia didn’t answer. ---*One Week Ago | Warning #2*Victoria’s Office, Hayes Tower. Victoria was reading the same report. Assistant said, “Mr. Lane is asking for a $300M bridge loan.” Victoria closed the folder. Victoria said, “Tell him I’m tied up this week. I’ll review it next week.” Assistant said, “But the engagement—” Victoria said, “I know. Just tell him that.” Assistant nodded. Victoria looked out the window. Victoria whispered, Victoria said, “I can’t risk both companies.” ---*Monday | 6:00am | Blackwood
