MICHEAL'S POV

The sun had barely peeked through the thick clouds when I was in my office that morning, burdened with the recent event. The leak had shaken the very core of Kingston Technology, and I knew we needed to track down the culprit first.

I initiated a canary trap, a method I'd read about in espionage circles. By distributing slightly altered versions of sensitive documents to various departments, I aimed to trace the unique markers in any leaked information. It was a calculated risk, but desperation demanded bold moves.

Within days, the trap sprung. A confidential report bearing a specific phrasing unique to the version sent to the marketing department surfaced in the media. My heart sank. I'd trusted these people.

Confronting the head of marketing, I observed his reaction closely. His eyes darted, and a bead of sweat formed on his brow. But it wasn't him. Further investigation led me to a junior analyst, recently hired, who had accessed files beyond his clearance. Under pre

    ASHLEY'S POV Austin didn’t even make it to the entrance before Liam had him pinned against the wall. His fist was flying like he had been waiting for this moment. Each punch landed with a sickening thud that echoed through the private dining. My heart pounded so loud it hurt.“Liam, stop! Please, stop!” I yelled, running towards them, but it was useless. His eyes were wide and filled with rage.I turned to Michael, who was standing a few steps away with his jaw clenched and his expression unreadable. “Make him stop, please.” I begged, my voice cracking.He didn't even look at me at first. “He's only getting what he deserves for touching you.”“He's going to kill him if he continues,” I sobbed, grabbing his arm. “Please, Michael. If you have any feelings left for me, make him stop.”Michael’s jaw flexed, his nostrils flaring. Then, finally, he gave a sharp nod toward Liam. “Enough.”Liam dropped Austin like a rag doll. He hit the ground with a groan with blood dripping from his nose

    ASHLEY'S POV Two weeks ago, I had this perfect plan with my best friend—ditch Liam and travel out of town to anywhere that doesn't remind me of Micheal. Anywhere that didn't make me think of him. Anywhere else that didn't make me want him despite what he did to me.But fate—fate had other plans.FLASH BACK TWO WEEKS AGO After making sure Liam was in a deep sleep, I quietly slipped out of the room and tiptoed down the hallway. My heart was pounding so fast I thought it'd give me away. I found Austin waiting by the kitchen door with his keys dangling in one hand and his hoodie pulled over his head.“He's out,” I whispered. “We have to leave now.”“Good,” he muttered, checking his phone.“Give me a minute, I just need to grab something.”A minute later he came back with a bunch of keys in his hands.“Where exactly are we going?” I asked as we walked towards the garage.“My dad's got a place outside the town. It's been empty for a while, but we'll be safe there.”I nodded. I didn't car

    JAYDEN’S POV The last time I felt this kind of fear was when my wife left me in this world with a ten year old who became my entire reason for living. I've faced struggles in business, suffered heartbreak, and lost a loved one. But nothing—absolutely nothing, compares to the fear of losing my only child.And right now, that fear is crawling under my skin. Because she gave me an ultimatum—make things right with Michael, or you won't see me again. I guess that's what love does to people. As much as I hate the idea, I still have to do this.So here I am, standing in the lobby of Kingston Technology, swallowing the last of my pride to be here.“Micheal,” I called out the minute I stepped in, my voice echoing across the walls of the building. Heads turned, whispers followed. There's nothing to hide now, it's all on the news. Then he appeared turning around slowly like he couldn't believe his ears.Hell, I couldn't believe mine either.He looked at me with that icy calm look—the kind that

    KATE’S POV I was shoving the last of my files into the briefcase when someone knocked loudly at the door. My heart jumped. For a second, I froze, staring at the door like it might break down any moment. Then I heard his voice.“Kate! Open this damn door.”Jayden.I swallowed hard and unlocked it. He stormed in the second the door opened, his eyes blazing with pure fury.“What are you doing here?” I asked, though my voice came out small and shaky.He slammed the door close behind him.“Seriously? You're asking me that after your big confession almost killed my daughter?”His words hit like a punch to my chest. I took a step back, trying to breathe. “Jayden, I messed up. I know I did. But I had no choice…” “No choice?” he barked. “That's what you're going with after putting my daughter's life at risk?”“Simon threatened me,” I blurted out. “He knows about us, Jayden. He knows everything.”He froze. “What do you mean everything?”I felt my throat tighten. “He called me when I was in Ne

    AUSTIN’S POV My kitchen smelled like garlic and butter, the way It always does when I throw a quick meal together after a long day. Cooking helps me relax. It kept me grounded. I was stirring the sauce, humming to a song under my breath when I heard a sharp knock at the door.That's strange. I wasn't expecting anyone.I wiped my hands on a towel, frowning as I moved towards the door. Curiosity gnawed at me, but nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I peeked through the door.Ashley?I blinked. My brain refused to process it at first—its like my eyes were playing tricks on me. Ashley stood there at the entrance with a suitcase by her side and her hair slightly messy. And behind her—Liam, Michael's brother, stood there like some sort of bodyguard.What the hell is he doing here?I pulled the door open before I could voice out my thoughts. Ashley tilted her head, giving me the smallest smile. “Austin Carter, how long are you going to keep a lady standing outside?”“I…uh…sor

    ASHLEY'S POV The ride back from Micheal’s felt like the strongest drive of my life. Every mile between us was a painful reminder that the world I had—the love I thought I had—was slipping through my fingers like sand I couldn't hold on to no matter how tight I clenched my fingers around it.I hadn't felt this much pain since the day my mother passed. That hollow, aching silence that stays with you long after the tear stops falling. If she were here right now, I knew exactly what she'd do. She'd scold me. She'd tell me how stupid I was for making those choices, for trusting so easily, for believing promises whispered to me in the dark. And maybe she'd be right. I'm indeed stupid. A big one at that.How could he? How could Micheal do this to me? After all the vows he made, after telling me I was his, after swearing he'd never hurt me. And he knew to do it at the worst time, when I was most vulnerable, when I had finally let my walls fall for him completely.Beside me, Liam’s voice cut
