Third Person's POV

A murmur rippled through the assembled press like wind through wheat fields, but Jackson continued without hesitation, his voice steady as steel.

"What those videos represent is a violation of privacy, not a disqualification from leadership. My intimate life, conducted between consenting adults, has no bearing on my ability to guide Maddox Corporation toward profitability and growth."

Jackson Maddox paused, letting his words sink into the consciousness of every journalist in the room. Then he leaned closer to the microphone, his expression hardening with determination.

"For this reason, I'm making a solemn promise to this board and to the public. I will investigate this matter until I discover who released these private videos on the internet. When I find them, I will call another press conference and expose that person to the entire world."

Cameras flashed like lightning as journalists scribbled furiously in their notebooks.

    The evening light filtered through the tall windows of the Sinclair mansion's study, making a long shadows across the rug. Mr. Astor Sinclair stood near his desk, his face tight with frustration as he stared at his daughter-in-law."I don't understand why you want Liam so badly. He cheated on you!" Astor said, his voice rising with each word. "With your own brother, for God's sake. Why do you still love him after everything?"Avery met his gaze without flinching. "Love comes from the heart, father-in-law. It doesn't follow logic or rules. I'm going to love who I want to love, and there is nobody in this world who can tell me what to do.""That's insane. You're carrying a child—""Don't lecture me about the baby. I know what I'm doing."Astor opened his mouth to argue, then closed it again. What could he say? He poured himself a glass of vodka and downed it in one swallow, the burn doing nothing to ease his frustration."This is madness," he muttered, grabbing his jacket. "Complete ma

    Third Person's POVLiam leaned in and kissed Jackson deeply, their lips meeting with the familiar intensity that had defined their relationship from the beginning. Jackson responded immediately, his hand moving to cup the back of Liam's neck as they held each other in the privacy of the chairman's office.When they finally pulled apart, Liam's mind was already racing through calculations and risks. He could have gone to see Avery himself, confronted her directly about the lies and manipulations. But something about doing that tonight felt like it would raise too much suspicion.After all, since the incident of the leaked videos and nude pictures, he hadn't returned to the Sinclair mansion to face Avery. Despite knowing she claimed to be pregnant - carrying a baby in her belly that he knew wasn't his but that she had deliberately pushed onto him as part of her calculated plan.Liam and Jackson settled into the leather chairs across from Jackson's desk, the weight of their situation pre

    Third Person's POVMADDOX CORPORATION - 2:45 PMThe sleek building of Maddox Corporation stretched toward the sky like a monument to corporate ambition. Liam parked his silver sedan in the visitor's section, taking a moment to steady his breathing before stepping out into the afternoon heat.The marble lobby felt like walking into a cathedral of capitalism. Polished floors reflected the geometric patterns of recessed lighting, while contemporary art installations decorated walls that had witnessed decades of business deals and broken promises.As Liam walked through the entrance, conversations stopped mid-sentence. Staff members turned their heads like sunflowers tracking the sun, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and scandal-fueled recognition."Is that him?" a young woman whispered to her colleague at the reception desk."That's Liam Sinclair," her coworker replied in hushed tones. "The disowned heir. The one from the videos.""What's he doing here?""Probably visiting his bo

    Third person's POV Her phone rang again. She pulled it out of her purse and saw it was Mr. Astor calling. She almost didn't answer, but something made her press the green button."Yes?" she said, her voice flat."What do you mean by 'yes'?" Mr. Astor's voice came through sharp with frustration. "Yesterday you were desperate to make things go this way. Just when I've decided to make things go your way, now you're turning me into a bad person."Avery wiped her eyes and tried to steady her voice. "No, I'm really glad for what you did. I'm just... processing everything. I think they should be really frustrated right now, and by tomorrow morning the board will be pressuring Jackson to step down. They'll have to find someone more capable of taking his place.""Someone like you?""Someone who won't cost them thirty percent of their revenue.""Avery, do you understand what I've just done? The damage this will cause?""I understand that you protected both our companies from being associated w

    Third person's POV The next day arrived, like the calm before a storm that everyone can sense but nobody wants to acknowledge. For Avery, it was both the aftermath of yesterday's crushing defeat and the beginning of something she hadn't quite anticipated.She woke up late, much later than usual. The morning sun was already high in the sky, streaming through the heavy curtains of her bedroom in the Sinclair mansion. Her body felt heavy, weighted down not just by exhaustion but by something deeper, a weariness that had settled into her bones."Viviana!" she called out, her voice hoarse from sleep and unshed tears.The housekeeper appeared within moments, slightly out of breath as if she had been waiting nearby for the summons. "Yes, Miss Avery?""Prepare my bath."Viviana nodded quickly and disappeared into the en-suite bathroom. Soon Avery could hear the sound of water running, filling the large marble bathtub. The familiar sound was oddly comforting, a reminder that some things rem
