The rain was a blinding wall of needles, and the wind screamed like a dying animal. My fingers screamed in agony as they locked around the wet, cold metal of the bed frame. Beneath my boots, the concrete helipad had shattered, tilting into a terrifying, jagged slope that led straight into the thousand-foot abyss of the city skyline.I was dangling over the edge, the weight of the hospital bed and the unconscious man strapped to it pulling me down inch by brutal i

Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 74. Dead Drop
Avery’s POVThe floor of the helicopter dropped. My stomach hit my throat.The ocean rushed up to meet us. It was a vast, black wall of water in the dark. The wind screamed through the cracks in the cabin doors, spraying cold salt rain across my face.The helicopter tilted further forward, going down nose-first. The waves were less than five hundred feet away now. I could see the churning white foam on the crests of the water."Vance!" I yelled. I threw my arms over Caspian’s chest, trying to anchor both of us to the vibrating floor.Vance pulled back on the steering stick with both hands. He kicked the floor pedals hard. The muscles in his arms were shaking under his soaked jacket. The controls were completely frozen. The computer had taken total control of the ship. It wanted us dead, and it was driving us straight into the sea."I can't break the lock!" Vance roared.The red words on the primary console screen fl

Avery’s POVThe rain was a blinding wall of needles, and the wind screamed like a dying animal. My fingers screamed in agony as they locked around the wet, cold metal of the bed frame. Beneath my boots, the concrete helipad had shattered, tilting into a terrifying, jagged slope that led straight into the thousand-foot abyss of the city skyline.I was dangling over the edge, the weight of the hospital bed and the unconscious man strapped to it pulling me down inch by brutal inch."Caspian!" I gasped, the wind tearing the sound from my throat.My knuckles turned a ghostly white. The rain made the metal slick, and I could feel my grip sliding. Below me, the neon signs of the financial district blurred into a sickening vortex of light and shadow. One slip, and we would both become nothing more than a footnote in the history of the empires we had just destroyed."Avery! Hold on!" Vance’s voice cut through the roar of the helicopter rotors and
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 72. The White Poison
Avery’s POVChaos erupted with the force of a physical explosion, shattering the hard-won silence of the recovery suite. One second I was holding Caspian’s hand, feeling the ghost of a heartbeat; the next, his body was arching off the mattress with such violent force that the steel frame of the bed groaned under the strain."Code Blue! Code Blue in ICU four!" the head nurse screamed, her voice a jagged blade of panic.My hands were ripped away from him as the medical team swarmed the bedside like a wave of frantic ghosts. I was shoved back against the wall, my breath hitching as I watched the clear IV tubing. The very line supposed to be delivering his life-support, cloud over with a thick, milky substance that looked like liquid marble."What is that?" I shrieked, pointing at the flashing amber light on the pump. "Stop the line! It’s turning white!""The line is obstructed! The pump is failing!" a resident yelled, his fingers fumbli
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 71. Execution of Will
Avery’s POV Inside the room, the doctors were charging the paddles again, their faces grim, their movements a blur of desperate, clinical chaos. Outside the glass, the world had slowed down to the precise, agonizing tempo of a countdown.Elena Sterling stood less than five feet from me, her hand outstretched, her silver hair catching the first brutal rays of the morning sun. She looked entirely invincible, a vulture clad in high fashion, waiting to consume the carcass of her own son’s life's work."Sign it, Avery," Elena murmured, her voice smooth, almost soothing in its absolute lack of human warmth. "Every second you waste letting your pride dictate your actions is a second he loses to the dark. My specialists are standing right behind me. One stroke of your finger, and they step into that room to save him.""Avery, his vitals aren't returning!" Jameson shouted from behind me, his voice cracking with sheer panic as he stared at the tablet,
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 70. Dawn of the Vultures
Avery’s POVThe digital clock on the wall glared a cruel, fluorescent orange: 5:14 AM. Dawn was bleeding a sickly grey light across the city skyline outside the waiting room windows, signaling the expiration of the only ceasefire I had left.I sat on the floor, my back pressed against the cold drywall, with the contents of Elena Sterling’s manila envelope spread around me like pieces of a broken mirror. Jameson had spent the last three hours verifying the cryptographic signatures on the bank logs, his face growing progressively paler with every string of numbers that compiled on his laptop."It’s real, Avery," Jameson whispered, his voice cracking from raw exhaustion as he stared at the screen. "Every single piece of it. In 2016, your father didn't just sign the initial merger paperwork. He authorized a private, off-book transfer of twenty million dollars directly to a shell company owned by Arthur Sterling. That money... it was moved into a sub-accou
Tangled Hearts: In Love With My Ex Husband's Boss 69. Bloodline
Avery’s POVThe silence in the sterile hospital hallway became absolute. Even the relentless buzzing of the fluorescent lights seemed to cut out, leaving me in a vacuum where only the woman’s cold, gray gaze existed.She looked like a ghost, an elegant specter of the past I had only ever seen in the black-and-white photos scattered throughout Caspian’s private study. She was thinner, older, and her hair was a brittle shade of platinum, but those eyes, that sharp, predatory, Sterling gaze, were unmistakable."You’re dead," I breathed, the words barely audible. "Caspian told me his mother died in Switzerland a decade ago. He visited the grave.""He visited an empty headstone, Avery," the woman replied, stepping closer until the scent of expensive, sharp perfume permeated the air. "Caspian has always been prone to romanticizing his tragedies. It made it easier for him to build his little kingdom if he believed he was an orphan, driven by the mem

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 33. Unspoken Storms
Avery’s POVThe soft clinking of glasses and the low hum of music filled the dimly lit bar. It was early evening, and the place wasn’t too crowded—just the way I liked it. The amber lighting wrapped around the space like a quiet embrace, but nothing could still the restlessness inside me.I wrapped

Avery's POVI thought handing Hector the divorce papers would be the end of something—the final nail in the coffin of a toxic, broken marriage.But I was wrong.He didn’t even read them. He tore them in half right in front of me. No hesitation. No emotion. Just a sharp rip that echoed in the silenc
