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
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
