CORPORATE CONSPIRACY

Ivy’s POV

The USB drive’s files burned in my mind, exposing Maddox’s ruthless plan to bankrupt Douglas Enterprises, but the sniper’s red dot on my chest at the warehouse lingered, making me question Gabe’s true motives.

Back at the safe house, the dim living room felt like a battlefield, Rowan’s tablet glowing with damning evidence as we sat close, Noah asleep with Sarah.

My arm throbbed from Bella’s grazing shot, and my heart raced, Gabe’s claim— that the baby is really his—clashing with his sudden disappearance. Rowan’s shoulder bandage seeped blood, but his gray eyes blazed with resolve, his hand gripping mine, grounding me.

“Rowan, look at this,” I said, my voice tense, pointing to the screen. The files detailed Maddox’s scheme to manipulate stock prices, not just for Douglas Enterprises but for my Atelier too, aiming to seize both our empires. My stomach twisted, my life’s work targeted again. “He’s after everything.”

Rowan’s jaw clenched, his finger

    A MOTHER’S RESOLVE IVY’S POV A young boy’s cries pierced my heart, the rubble around us a reminder of Bella’s relentless cruelty. The factory’s collapsed ceiling choked the air with dust, and Ethan clung to me, his small body trembling. My arm throbbed from Bella’s shot, my body weak from my collapse, but Rowan’s gray eyes blazed with determination, his side bleeding from the forest ambush. The Kelly documents, clutched in my hand, were safe, but Gabe and Bella’s escape and the boy’s cries fueled my fear. I gripped Rowan’s hand, my ring glinting, his love anchoring me in the chaos. “We’ve got to find him,” I said, my voice trembling, brushing my blonde hair back. Rowan nodded, his gun raised, and we dug through the debris, concrete scraping my hands. The cries grew louder, and my heart raced, Ethan’s weight grounding me. “Over here!” Rowan shouted, his voice rough, heaving a slab aside. We found the boy, no older than Noah, curled up, shaken but unharmed. Relief flooded

    THE FACTORY SHOWDOWN ROWAN’S POV Bella’s taunt fueled my rage, her voice echoing through the factory “You’re too late” guiding us deeper into her trap. The derelict building loomed, its rusted walls hiding her plans to auction Ivy’s Kelly documents. Ivy clutched Ethan, her green eyes fierce despite the scar on her arm from Bella’s shot, her body still weak from her collapse. My side hurt a little from the stress I have subjected myself to, I was in no mood to pain searing, but fear for Noah, safe with guards, and Ethan in Ivy’s arms drove me. Gabe’s escape and his twisted betrayal, kidnapping Ethan, and forging documents burned in my mind. I gripped Ivy’s hand, her ring glinting, her love anchoring me in the chaos. “Stay close,” I said, my voice rough, shielding her as we moved through the factory, shadows flickering. Automated turrets whirred to life, their lasers cutting the air, and I shoved Ivy and Ethan behind a crate, my gun raised. “Bella’s playing dirty,” I growl

    THE HUNT FOR BELLA IVY’S POV Gabe’s escape reignited my fear, his note—“I’ll stop Bella, but you owe me”—a riddle that could either save us or doom us as we hunted Bella. The warehouse was dark, the drone’s package which was more of a scare than a than a threat to us, and Ethan’s small body clung to me, his warmth grounding me. My arm throbbed from Bella’s shot, my body weak from my earlier collapse, but Noah’s safety and the Kelly documents we’d fought for burned in my mind. Rowan’s gray eyes blazed with fury, he looked like an angry god of war, his hand gripping mine, his ring on my finger anchoring me in the chaos. I can't believe I actually let myself feel something for Gabe. He was the most confusing man I ever met. But I guess all the blame cannot be placed on me considering the fact that he was there during my lowest and I allowed my emotions to over shadow my better judgement. “We’re tracking Gabe,” Rowan said, his voice rough, checking his phone’s signal. “He’s

    THE TICKING THREAT ROWAN’S POV The package’s ominous ticking froze my blood as I shielded Ivy and Ethan, I didn't want to believe that what I thought it was, was actually in the box. But Bella’s threat and Gabe's warning of a final trap just had my defenses up knowing who Bella was. The airfield was dark, the drone’s hum fading above, and Ivy clutched Ethan, her green eyes wide with terror, her blonde hair tangled from the chaos. My side throbbed from the forest ambush, but thankfully, blood wasn't seeping through the bandage, but fear for Noah, who was supposed to be under protection, and Ethan in Ivy’s arms drove me. Gabe’s betrayal—stealing Ethan, forging the Kelly documents—burned, and Bella’s plan, still in motion despite her arrest, chilled me. I gripped Ivy’s hand, her ring glinting, her love anchoring me in the storm. “Get down!” I shouted, kicking the package away, diving to cover Ivy and Ethan. It exploded in the distance, a harmless blast of smoke, but my heart p

    THE FINAL BETRAYAL IVY’S POV Gabe’s text about taking Ethan sent panic through me, his betrayal cutting deeper than Bella’s burning my building. Though it wasn't the first time. The safe house was quiet, the singed designs from my Atelier clutched in my hands, their survival a small victory after the showroom explosion. My arm throbbed from Bella’s shot, my hands filled with blisters and my body weak from all stress, but fear for Ethan—my baby, supposedly safe with Sarah—burned hottest. Rowan’s gray eyes blazed with fury, his side bandaged from the forest ambush, his phone glowing with Gabe’s message. Bella was in custody, but her final trap loomed, and Gabe’s words chilled me. I gripped Rowan’s hand, my ring glinting, his love anchoring me in the chaos. “We’re finding him,” Rowan growled, his voice rough, already tracking Gabe’s phone. “He’s not taking Ethan.” His protectiveness ignited me, and I nodded, brushing my blonde hair back, my heart pounding. I wanted to go on

    INFERNO OF VENGEANCE Rowan’s POV Flames engulfed Ivy’s Atelier, Bella’s silhouette a ghost in the fire, and I pulled Ivy to safety, my heart pounding. The showroom roared with heat, glass shattering from the explosion, and Ivy’s green eyes widened with terror, her blonde hair singed, her arm still scarred from Bella’s shot. My side throbbed from the forest ambush, blood seeping through the bandage, but fear for Noah and Ethan, and Ivy’s weakening state from her collapse, drove me. Bella’s sabotage and Gabe’s shaky loyalty burned in my mind, and I gripped Ivy’s hand, her ring glinting, her love anchoring me in the chaos. “Stay back!” I shouted, shielding her from the flames, my voice rough. Firefighters swarmed, hoses blasting, but I spotted Bella slipping through a back exit, her shadow darting. Rage surged, and I turned to Ivy, my hand on her cheek, her eyes fierce despite the smoke. “I’m going after her,” I said, my voice low, my gun ready. Ivy grabbed my arm, her voice
