Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 63. The Shattered Glass
Avery’s POVMonday morning brought the storm back to the Woods-Global tower with a vengeance. I stood in my father's old office, staring at a legal document that had just been delivered by a courier dressed in all black. The paper was stamped with a crimson seal from an international bank I had never heard of. It looked official, cold, and entirely lethal.Marcus stood across from my desk, his face completely drained of color. His eyes were wide with a kind of panic I had never seen in him, not even during the worst days of Hector’s tirades."Avery, we missed something," Marcus said, his voice barely a whisper. "Hector didn't just hide the corporate funds in Panama. He dug a hole so deep we didn't even see the bottom.""What are you talking about, Marcus?" I asked, my voice tight as I gripped the edges of the desk. "The forensic audit cleared the main accounts. We own the majority shares. We have total voting control.""We own t
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 62. Uncharted Waters
Caspian’s POVRain began to tap softly against the bedroom glass just as the clock on the nightstand struck midnight. The rhythmic sound was peaceful.Avery was sleeping soundly beside me, her small hand resting flat against my bare chest. Her breathing was slow and even. Every time she exhaled, her warm breath brushed against my collarbone, sending a quiet sense of comfort straight through my veins.I kept my arm wrapped securely around her waist, anchoring her to me in the dark.For years, my mind had been a chaotic war room. I used to lie awake for hours plotting my next move, calculating stock drops, and tracking Hector’s movements through dummy corporations. My brain never knew how to shut down. But tonight, the strategic noise was completely gone. The targets were destroyed, the ledger was balanced, and the woman I loved was safe under my roof.A strange, unfamiliar feeling settled deep in my chest. It took me a moment to reali
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 61. Brighter Days
Avery’s POVGold and orange hues filled the penthouse living room as the weekend sun dipped below the city skyline. Sitting on the plush velvet sofa, I watched the light dance across the polished floorboards. A mountain of corporate documents sat on the coffee table in front of me, but for once, I wasn't looking at them with a sense of dread.Marcus had called an hour ago to confirm the final stock transfer.Caspian’s gift was official. Fifty-two percent of Woods-Global now belonged to me, locking my position as the absolute head of the empire. Hector’s remaining allies on the board had completely backed down the moment the legal filings hit their desks. They knew they couldn't fight a woman who held the majority of the crown.Soft footsteps sounded from the hallway, breaking the quiet warmth of the room.Caspian walked in, carrying two plates of fresh fruit and a glass of chilled water. He had traded his heavy tailored suits fo
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 60. Final Disclosure
Caspian’s POVThe easy, warm smile Avery had given me this morning in bed was gone. Her shoulders were tense, held in that rigid line she used when she was preparing for a corporate battle.I stood up from behind my desk immediately. I didn't care about the legal brief I was reading or the conference call I was supposed to be hosting. The moment she entered my space, she was the only thing that mattered."Avery," I said, walking out from behind the mahogany desk to meet her. "You look pale. What did Juliet say to you?"Avery didn't answer right away. She walked past me, her heels clicking softly against the thick rug, and stood by the massive glass window. She looked out at the city skyline for a long moment before she turned around to face me. She reached into her purse, pulled out a small piece of paper with a list of account numbers scribbled on it, and set it flat on my desk."She told me I traded one master for another," Avery s
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 59. Juliet’s Shadow
Avery’s POVIt had been three days since the courtroom explosion. Three days since Hector was led away in handcuffs.My desk was still covered in piles of legal files, but the stack was shrinking. I clicked my pen, signing the final line on a new supply contract, and leaned back in my chair."That is the last of the core restructuring documents, Ms. Woods," Marcus said. He looked tired, but his smile was genuine. He picked up the signed folder and slipped it into his leather briefcase. "The manufacturing plants in Ohio are fully funded again. The union reps are calling it a miracle.""It is not a miracle, Marcus," I said softly, looking out at the city skyline. "It is just what my father would have done.""Well, your father would be proud," Marcus replied. He closed his briefcase with a sharp snap. "There is just one more administrative matter. The federal marshal’s office called this morning. Juliet Woods has requested a visitor bef
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 58. Pieces of the Past
Caspian’s POVThe city lights outside the glass windows of my office looked like scattered diamonds. It was late, past ten in the evening, but the Sterling Global executive floor was still bustling with quiet, intense energy.I stood by the window, my hands shoved deep into my trouser pockets. I had discarded my suit jacket hours ago. My shirtsleeves were rolled up to my elbows, and my tie was pulled loose. The reflection in the glass showed a man who looked worn down, but my eyes were perfectly clear.Behind me, the door to the office opened with a soft click."The investigators from the SEC have finally left for the night, boss," Jameson said as he walked into the room. He didn't look his usual sharp self. His leather jacket was tossed over his arm, and his forehead was creased with deep worry lines. He dropped a heavy stack of legal folders onto my desk with a loud thud.I turned around slowly, leaning my hip against the window fr
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 37. One Night of Comfort
Avery’s POVI don’t know how long we stayed like that—curled into each other on his couch, hearts racing, skin buzzing from too much emotion and not enough air.After I told him I might be falling in love, the room felt quieter. Still, but not heavy. Caspian didn’t move away, didn’t rush to say som
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 35. Her Price for Silence
Avery’s POV I didn’t want to go.I didn’t want to see her face, sit across from her fake-smiling lips, or listen to whatever disgusting offer she was about to throw on the table. But I had no choice. Not when she held a ticking bomb over my head, ready to blow up everything I had just started to r
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 7. New Boss, Old Hurt
The days after Caspian showed up were weird. I kept thinking about him. He was going to help the family business, but he was also the guy I kissed at the club. It didn't make any sense. And the way he looked at Hector sometimes… it was like there was something else going on.Juliet was bossy as eve
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 6. Whispers of Attraction
The silence that descended upon the living room after they left was thick and heavy. Juliet stared at the closed door, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. “Well,” she said, her voice brimming with excitement. “That went wonderfully! Mr. Sterling is clearly a very astute businessman. This could
