LOGINThe house felt quieter after Alexander’s uncle left.Too quiet.Like everyone was waiting for something bad to happen next.And honestly?They probably were.Rain still poured heavily outside while Lucas paced near the kitchen area, typing rapidly on his phone.Alexander’s father had already left shortly after the confrontation, but his words still lingered heavily in the room.Don’t let this family destroy that.For the first time in years—Alexander finally understood his father completely.And somehow that realization hurt more than anger ever could.Amara sat quietly on the couch wrapped in a blanket, emotionally exhausted.Everything over the past few days felt unreal.The scandal.The media.The board.The family secrets.And now—A dangerous uncle who clearly wasn’t finished yet.Her mind felt heavy.But despite that—There was one thing keeping her grounded right now.Alexander.Because every single time things got worse—He chose her again.Without hesitation.Across the room
Nobody spoke after Alexander’s words.Not the board members.Not Lucas.Not even his uncle.Because the sentence still hung heavily in the room like something explosive.“Maybe the company deserves to collapse.”For a man like Alexander—That statement was almost unthinkable.He had spent years building that empire.Protecting it.Carrying it.Sacrificing himself for it.And yet now—He was standing in front of everyone openly saying he would burn it all down before sacrificing Amara.The tension in the room became unbearable.His uncle’s face hardened completely now.No more calm amusement.No more subtle manipulation.Just cold anger.“You sound exactly like a man throwing his life away.”Alexander didn’t even blink.“No,” he replied quietly.“I sound like someone finally deciding his life belongs to him.”That one hit hard.Especially because everyone in the room knew how controlled Alexander’s life had always been.One of the board members finally stood abruptly.“This has gone to
The room felt suffocating.Heavy silence pressed against the walls while rain continued pouring outside.At the top of the staircase, Amara stood frozen.And downstairs—Every single person turned toward her.The board members.Lucas.Alexander’s uncle.All watching.Judging.Calculating.Amara instantly felt exposed again.Like she had just walked directly into enemy territory.Alexander moved first.Always.His attention shifted fully toward her, concern immediately replacing the fury in his expression.“You shouldn’t be downstairs,” he said quietly.Not harsh.Protective.But before Amara could answer—His uncle spoke calmly.“No, I think this concerns her too.”Alexander’s jaw tightened instantly.Dangerously.“Watch yourself,” he said coldly.But the older man only smiled faintly.Because honestly?He looked pleased.Like this entire situation was unfolding exactly the way he wanted.One of the board members stepped forward carefully.“We’re not here to create conflict.”Alexande

The next morning—The internet was worse.Much worse.By sunrise, multiple news channels had picked up the story officially.Talk shows were discussing it.Business analysts were commenting on it.Even random influencers online were turning Amara’s life into entertainment.And now—Alexander’s company stock had started dropping.Inside the private house, tension hung heavily in the air.Lucas stood near the dining table holding his tablet with the expression of a man who hadn’t slept properly in days.Which, honestly—He hadn’t.“This is becoming a disaster publicly,” he admitted carefully.Alexander sat across from him, calm on the surface.Too calm.The dangerous kind of calm.“And the board?” he asked quietly.Lucas hesitated.Then sighed.“They want an emergency meeting.”Of course they did.Because powerful companies cared about one thing above all else:Stability.And right now—Alexander’s personal life was threatening that stability.Across the room, Amara sat silently wrapped
