Every instinct in his body screamed at him to snatch the phone right out of her hand, but Jane smoothly turned her back to him, tucking her hair behind her ear as she continued chatting in hushed, secretive tones.

Frustrated, dark, and dangerously close to losing his mind, William yanked his personal phone out of his pocket as it buzzed with an incoming text.

[Victoria: Just spoke to Mike! He landed in LA yesterday and is flying into Manhattan as we speak. I sent him Jane’s contact info. You’re

    Thirty minutes later, Jane was crammed into the back of a taxi with Emma and Julia, speeding toward Soho. The sheer, absurd chaotic momentum of her friends was the only thing keeping the massive dam of her tears from bursting."Okay, listen to me," Emma said, holding up a sleek black hanger in a high-end boutique twenty minutes later. "You are going into enemy territory—meaning Le Monde—and you need to look like an absolute goddess.""She needs the backless emerald silk," Julia insisted, hauling a stunning, body-skimming cocktail dress off the rack. "It screams 'I am brilliant, unbothered, and completely out of your league.'"Jane looked at her reflection in the boutique mirror. Her eyes were still dry, held back by sheer force of will, but her heart was beating a slow, painful rhythm against her ribs. She took the emerald dress into the fitting room.When she stepped out, both Emma and Julia let out loud, synchronized gasps, clutching each other's arms in awe.The dress draped over h

    Jane blinked, staring at the screen in pure, unadulterated shock.Julia, who had zero concept of personal space, unashamedly peeked over Jane’s shoulder, her jaw instantly dropping to the floor. "Wait... WHAT?!""What? What is it?!" Emma squeaked, practically diving across the table to see."Did Mr. Reynold’s own sister just text you to matchmake you with the famous Brit?!" Julia shrieked, her voice pitching so high two accountants at the next table turned around. "Michael Cavill?! The British CEO billionaire?!"Allan’s eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, a dreamy, awe-struck sigh escaping his lips. "Oh my god. Mike Cavill? His voice is like warm honey pouring over velvet. Jane, if you don't go, I am going in a wig."

William swore under his breath, his eyes turning a lethal, stormy blue.Mike. Of all the people in the world, it had to be Michael Cavill.The history was a complete nightmare. Mike wasn't just some random billionaire; he was William’s best friend back at Oxford. He had spent two solid years pining after Victoria, only for Victoria to aggressively friend-zone him into an honorary brother. Out of sheer, chaotic spite, Mike spent the next decade

    "Office of Mr. Reynold, Jane speaking," her voice came through the line—smooth, cold, and entirely devoid of life. "How may I assist you, sir?"William leaned back against the leather seat of his sedan, his chest heaving as he closed his eyes, fighting the overwhelming urge to drive back to the tower and pull her into his arms right then and there."Jane," William rasped, his baritone thick with an uncontrolled, raw edge he couldn't hide. "Cancel the gala."Jane’s voice faltered for a fraction of a second, the sudden break in her composure so quiet William almost missed it over the static of the line. But almost as quickly, her wall snapped back up, impenetrable and freezing."Sir, it cannot be canceled," Jane said, her tone flattening out into that terrifying, nonchalant efficiency."Everything is set. The finance department has already approved the non-refundable deposit for the grand ballroom, the media outlets have locked in their exclusive slots, and both PR and HR have aligned

    William stood frozen behind the glass, the phone still pressed uselessly against his ear. A sudden, bitter taste filled his mouth.He had wanted to provoke her. He had wanted to force a confession out of her, to drive her to the absolute edge until she finally admitted how much she cared. But as he watched her calmly open a blank spreadsheet to finalize the budget for his fake engagement, a horrifying realization hit him like a physical blow:He hadn't forced her to break. He had just pushed her entirely away.The hours bled together in a suffocating, unbearable blur. For the first time in his career, William Reynold accomplished absolutely nothing.He sat behind his massive mahogany desk, staring through the glass wall as Jane executed every single one of his orders with terrifying, flawless precision. His suit was picked up and hung in his private wardrobe by 9:55 AM sharp. The reservation at Le Monde was confirmed. The three afternoon strategy meetings were rescheduled without a s

    She offered a brief, mechanical bow of her head, turned on her heel, and walked out of the office, closing the heavy doors behind her without making a sound. Jane moved on complete autopilot. The long walk from William’s double doors to her desk felt like dragging her feet through wet cement. Inside her chest, her heart hammered so violently against her ribs it felt on the verge of exploding, leaving a hollow, agonizing ache in its wake. She felt entirely numb, her body brittle and trembling as if the slightest breath would cause her to shatter into a thousand jagged pieces. The pain was far too much to swallow down this time. Hot, silent tears welled up, spilling over her lashes and tracing a slow, burning path down her pale cheeks. Yet, even as her vision blurred into a smear of corporate lighting, she refused to give him the satisfaction. She knew his eyes were locked onto her through the soundproof glass of his office, watching for the slightest sign of defeat. With agoni
