Avery’s POV

Tires shrieked against the wet pavement outside, a violent sound that tore through the heavy silence of the warehouse. The bright headlights of the arriving vehicle cut through the rusted iron doors, throwing long, jagged shadows across the concrete floor where Caspian lay unconscious in my arms.

Vance immediately pivoted, his rifle raised toward the entrance while his tactical team fanned out, their boots clicking sharply against the damp ground. "Hold your

  • Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss   68. Sterile Horizon

    Avery’s POVFluorescent lights buzzed with a relentless, maddening hum that seemed to vibrate directly inside my skull. The smell of antiseptic and industrial floor cleaner was suffocating.Three hours had passed since the paramedics wheeled Caspian through the double doors of St. Jude’s Memorial. Three hours of watching the red digital numbers on the wall clock tick forward while my hands remained stained with his blood.I sat in a rigid plastic chair, my knees pulled tightly against my chest, staring at the swinging doors of the operating theater. Jameson sat a few paces away, his face buried in his palms, his shoulders shaking with silent exhaustion. Vance stood like a stone sentinel by the hallway entrance, his arms crossed over his chest, his dark eyes fixed on every shadow that moved down the corridor.The silence was a physical weight, pressing down on us until a sharp click shattered it completely.Dr. Aris stepped out of the

    Avery’s POVTires shrieked against the wet pavement outside, a violent sound that tore through the heavy silence of the warehouse. The bright headlights of the arriving vehicle cut through the rusted iron doors, throwing long, jagged shadows across the concrete floor where Caspian lay unconscious in my arms.Vance immediately pivoted, his rifle raised toward the entrance while his tactical team fanned out, their boots clicking sharply against the damp ground. "Hold your positions! We have unidentified movement at the primary perimeter!"My hands were shaking as I kept pressure on Caspian’s bleeding ribs. His skin felt dangerously cool, his breathing nothing more than a faint, shallow rattle against my collarbone. Every second we spent trapped in this warehouse was a second closer to losing him forever.The vehicle outside ground to a sudden halt, its engine dying with a loud, mechanical hiss.A single figure stepped through the blind

  • Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss   66. Echo of the Shot

    Avery’s POV"Caspian!" My voice didn't even sound like my own anymore. It was a primal, desperate sound that tore from my chest, bouncing uselessly off the metal server racks.I lunged forward, my hands slamming flat against the cold glass of the central monitor as if I could physically tear through the digital void and pull him back. The image of Julian raising that silver pistol, the deafening crack of the gunshot, and the sudden, violent tilt of the camera replayed in my mind on an agonizing, endless loop."Trace it! Jameson, find the signal!" I ordered frantically, my chest heaving as I spun around to face the tech team. "Why did it go dark? Turn it back on!"Jameson was already hammering on his mechanical keyboard, his face completely pale under the harsh LED lights. "I'm trying, Avery! The physical camera unit was destroyed or disconnected on their end. The uplink didn't just fail, it was obliterated by the impact.""Vance, tel

  • Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss   65. The Zurich Variable

    Avery’s POVThe frozen air of the server room felt like needles against my skin as Caspian’s bloody reflection stared back at me from the monitor. Time slowed down, expanding into a agonizing void where the only sound was the loud, mechanical thrum of the cooling fans.Caspian didn't look at the camera; his gray eyes were locked onto a point just off-screen, his jaw set so tightly the muscles in his neck strained against the collar of his torn shirt. Even bound and bleeding, his presence was a heavy, commanding weight that Julian’s men silver pistol couldn't diminish."Step away from the console, Avery," Julian’s voice slid through the speakers, smooth and entirely devoid of human empathy. She adjusted her grip on the weapon, pressing the barrel a fraction of an inch deeper into Caspian's temple. "You have exactly three minutes to abort the bullion transfer before I clear this room of its current occupant.""Don't do it, Avery!" Caspian’s voi

  • Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss   64. Red Ticker

    Avery’s POVBlood rushed to my ears, drowning out the ambient hum of the corporate tower. The world seemed to tilt on its axis, rendering the plush executive office completely unrecognizable. I gripped the edge of my desk, my fingernails digging into the dark mahogany until the wood bit back."What do you mean, they took him?" The words tore from my throat, raw and breathless.Vance stepped closer, the sharp scent of ozone and adrenaline rolling off him. A dark bruise was already forming along his jawline, and his knuckles were split open. "It was a professional ambush, Ms. Woods. Three unmarked black SUVs blocked his vehicle at the lower exit ramp. They used localized signal jammers. By the time my secondary team broke through the perimeter, Caspian’s security detail was down, and his personal car was empty."I looked down at the shattered glass of my cell phone on the floor. The spiderweb cracks reflected the blinking red light of the compu

  • 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
