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
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 49. The Edge of the Cliff
Avery’s POVThe fluorescent lights of the Woods-Global executive boardroom felt like a slow, agonizing interrogation. It was four in the morning, but the concept of time had completely lost its meaning.The mahogany table was buried under mountains of financial ledgers, legal briefs, and crumpled cups of cold espresso. My fingers trembled slightly as I rubbed my temples, trying to blink away the burning exhaustion behind my eyes. The rain outside had finally stopped, leaving the city skyline below wrapped in a suffocating, pale fog."The math doesn't change, Ms. Woods," Marcus, our lead corporate attorney, sighed heavily, adjusting his glasses. He looked as drained as I felt. "If Hector’s petition for the injunction succeeds at the 9:00 AM hearing, the judge will freeze all voting rights tied to your father’s trust. You won't just be stripped of the interim Chairwoman title, you won't even be allowed on the property.""And Hector walks b
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 48. The Ghost of the Past
Caspian’s POVThe crystal tumbler shattered against the brick fireplace, raining jagged glass and amber scotch over the hearth. I didn't care. I didn't even blink. I just stared blindly at the dancing orange flames, my hand frozen in the air where I had just thrown the drink.The penthouse felt like a tomb. It had been twelve hours since Avery walked out of the municipal cemetery, twelve hours since she tore my chest open and left me bleeding under a stormy sky. The heavy downpour outside had slowed to a miserable, rhythmic drizzle, streaking the floor-to-ceiling windows with endless gray lines.I was drowning, suffocating in the quiet. Everywhere I looked, I saw her. I saw her standing by the marble kitchen island laughing over chopped cherry tomatoes; I saw her curled on the sofa in my oversized black T-shirt; I saw her green eyes reflecting the morning sun right before everything broke."Caspian.”Jameson’s gravelly voice cut
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 23. The Weight of Secrets
Avery's POVThe diamond on Jasmine's hand glared up at me from the phone screen, a cruel, sparkling taunt. It was my engagement ring. Or, it had been. My breath hitched, a hot wave of fresh betrayal washing over me, eclipsing even the shock of Caspian's revelation about Sophia. This wasn't just a t
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 21. Unexpected Proximity
Avery’s POVThe silence in the hotel lobby, after Caspian announced the "logistical issue," was thick enough to cut with a knife. My cheeks were still hot, and I could feel the eyes of the other team members on me, though they quickly pretended to be interested in the ceiling. One suite. The words
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 19. Conflicting Desires
Caspian’s POVThe cold spray of the shower felt good against my skin, but it did little to wash away the turbulent thoughts in my head. Switzerland. Two days. With Avery.I reached for the expensive soap, the familiar scent of cedar and bergamot filling the steam. My mind, however, was replaying t
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 18. An Unexpected Journey
Avery’s POVThe morning after the fight with Juliet and that intoxicating kiss with Caspian, I woke up feeling… disoriented. One minute I was furious about the shares, the next I was giggling like a schoolgirl remembering his lips. It was a messed-up emotional rollercoaster, and I desperately neede
