Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 55. Morning Light
Avery’s POVThe morning sun crept slowly through the sheer curtains of the master bedroom. It painted warm, golden lines across the heavy duvet. I stirred softly, blinking against the bright light, and felt the familiar, heavy weight of Caspian’s arm draped securely around my waist.I didn't move. I just lay there in the quiet room, listening to the steady, deep sound of his breathing against the back of my neck.His chest was pressed firmly against my spine. Every time he took a breath, his whole body moved with mine. It felt incredibly grounding. For the first time in as long as I could remember, I didn't wake up with a heavy sense of dread pooling in my stomach. I didn't wake up wondering what cruel joke Hector was going to play, or what scandal the media was going to drop on my lap.The air was completely still, smelling of clean sheets and the faint trace of Caspian’s woodsy cologne.Slowly, I shifted my body so I could tur
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 54. The Weight of the Ring
Avery’s POVThe drive back to the penthouse was completely quiet. The city outside the window was full of bright lights and busy people, but inside the black sedan, it felt like a different world. It was safe and still.I leaned my head against the cool glass window and watched the buildings roll by. My mind was spinning with everything that had happened today. I had sat in my father’s chair. I had looked the board members in the eyes and made them listen to me. I had taken control. But now, the business day was over. As the car came closer to Caspian’s building, my stomach began to twist into nervous knots."We are here, Ms. Woods," Vance said softly as he steered the car into the private underground garage. The car came to a smooth stop right in front of the private elevator doors. Vance got out quickly and opened my door for me."Thank you, Vance," I said, stepping out into the cool air."Have a good evening, ma'am," he
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 53. Standing Alone
Avery’s POVThe door to my father’s old office closed with a soft, solid click. The heavy noise shut out the rest of the world. Sarah and Marcus stayed out in the hallway, leaving me completely alone in the massive room.I stood still for a long moment, just listening to the quiet.For five years, this room had been Hector’s playground. He had changed the artwork, brought in ugly modern chairs, and covered the walls with trophies he didn't earn. But the bones of the room were still the same. The large mahogany desk still sat in the center, and the huge glass windows still showed the whole city.Slowly, I walked over to the desk. I ran my fingers along the smooth wood.There was a black leather chair behind it. Hector’s chair. I pulled it out, sat down, and leaned back. The leather felt cool against my skin. I closed my eyes and let out a breath I felt like I had been holding for years.I am here, I thought. I actually m
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 52. A New Day
Avery’s POVThe bright flashes of the cameras hit us the moment we pushed through the heavy glass doors of the courthouse.Reporters shoved microphones toward my face, all of them shouting at once. The noise was loud and chaotic, a sharp contrast to the quiet courtroom we had just left behind."Ms. Woods! Is it true that your husband is being charged with murder?""Mr. Sterling! Did you use your company to hack the Woods family accounts?"Caspian did not say a word to them. His tight grip on my hand kept me grounded in the middle of the crowd. He used his large body as a shield, blocking the worst of the pushy reporters as he guided me toward his waiting black sedan.Vance held the car door open for us. I slid into the back seat quickly, and Caspian climbed in right after me. The door shut with a heavy click, locking the loud world outside.I leaned my head against the cool leather seat and took a long, deep br
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 51. Aftermath of Justice
Avery’s POVThe gavel fell three times, each strike sounding like a thunderclap that shattered the remnants of the Woods family dynasty."In light of the highly severe and criminal nature of the evidence presented," Judge Reyes’s voice cut through the courtroom chaos with absolute finality, "this court denies the plaintiff's request for an injunction. The administrative freeze on Hector Woods' shares remains permanent, and this file is being forwarded immediately to the federal prosecutor's office."She looked down from the bench, her sharp eyes fixing directly on Hector, who was vibrating with a silent, pale terror. "Bailiffs, please escort Mr. Woods and Mrs. Juliet Woods to the holding area downstairs. Federal marshals are already en route.""No! This is a setup! You can't do this to me!" Hector screamed, his voice cracking into a pathetic, desperate shriek as two burly court officers grabbed him by his arms. He kicked blindly at his o
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 50. The Courtroom Ledger
Caspian’s POVThe heavy oak doors of the federal courthouse didn't just swing open; they felt like the gates of an arena. The marble corridors echoed with the frantic clicking of cameras and the overlapping shouts of reporters. Media vans lined the curb outside, their satellite dishes pointed toward the sky like vultures waiting for a carcass. The headline was already trending across every financial wire: The Woods-Global Civil War.I walked through the security checkpoints without looking left or right. I had discarded my usual charcoal suit for a stark, midnight-black tuxedo, the same one I had worn to the gala where this war truly began. My tie was straight, my cuffs crisp, but beneath the billionaire armor, my chest felt hollowed out."Mr. Sterling," Vance whispered, matching my long, hurried stride down the hallway. He held a leather briefcase tightly against his side. "The legal disclosure forms are fully finalized and logged into

Caspian's POV I couldn't get her out of my mind.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her—standing in that emerald green dress, the fabric hugging her body like it was made for her. I saw the way her lips trembled after our kiss, the fire in her eyes when she stood up to me, the way her voice cracke
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 29. Icy Welcome
Avery's POVMy mind replayed the events in Switzerland over and over during the plane ride back home. Caspian's passionate kiss, Debby's shocked face, his terrifyingly calm confrontation with her. My heart still throbbed with a confusing mix of lingering desire and raw anxiety. He had assured me ev
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 28. Calculated Risk
Caspian’s POVDebby's hasty retreat and the click of the restroom door didn't bring relief; they brought a new, sharper kind of tension. Avery was crumbling in front of me, her face pale, her hands trembling as she gripped the sink. Her panic was raw, unmasked."Oh my god," she whimpered, "She... s
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 27. Interrupted
Avery's POVCaspian's kiss was a whirlwind, pulling me under, erasing everything but the scorching heat and desperate longing. My hands were tangled in his hair, his arms tight around my waist, and the world outside the small restroom had ceased to exist. All the confusion, the pain, the betrayal –
