By nine the next morning, Elena's contract was officially over.

Clara read through the final termination documents twice before placing them in the folder.

“Everything has been signed,” she said.

Matteo sat at the head of the conference table, his attention on his phone.

“Good.”

Across from him, Elena's expression tightened.

“That’s it?”

Matteo looked up.

“What else were you expecting?”

“A conversation.”

“You've had several.”

Elena leaned back slowly, crossing one leg over the other.

    Matteo didn't ask Clara what had happened or had been said in the call. Not immediately.He simply stood across from her office, watching the way she held the phone long after the call had ended.“What happened?”Clara looked up.“Elena called.”“I assumed that.”“She said someone approached her.”Matteo's expression hardened.“About me.”Clara nodded. He held out his hand.“Give me the number.”She handed him her phone.Matteo looked at the call log, memorized the number, then gave the phone back.“Did she say who?”“No.”“What did they want?”“Information about you.”“How much?”“She didn't say.”Matteo's jaw tightened.“And she refused?”“She claims she did.”He looked at her for a moment.“You believe her?”Clara hesitated.“I don't know.”“Good.”She frowned.“You don't believe her either?”“I don't trust people simply because they tell me what I want to hear.”Clara folded her arms.“She did have an opportunity to tell them things.”“She also had an opportunity to sell them.”Cl

    By nine the next morning, Elena's contract was officially over.Clara read through the final termination documents twice before placing them in the folder.“Everything has been signed,” she said.Matteo sat at the head of the conference table, his attention on his phone.“Good.”Across from him, Elena's expression tightened.“That’s it?”Matteo looked up.“What else were you expecting?”“A conversation.”“You've had several.”Elena leaned back slowly, crossing one leg over the other.“We were together for months, Matteo.”“We were under contract for months.”Her eyes flickered.“That’s how you see it?”“That is what it was.”Clara kept her eyes on the documents. She had no interest in being caught between them.Elena noticed anyway. She looked toward Clara.“Of course. Everything is business with you now.”Clara closed the folder.“Yes. Today, it is.”Matteo's eyes moved briefly to her. Something about the way she said it made the corner of his mouth twitch, barely. But Clara saw it.

    The following morning, Matteo had three screens open before eight.One displayed the family company's financial records. Another contained the ownership documents Adrian had sent overnight. The third showed a timeline of recent events surrounding Devereaux Racing.Clara stood behind his desk, reading through the same information on her tablet. Adrian sat across from them with a coffee he had barely touched.“You haven't slept,” Clara said.Adrian looked at her.“Neither has your boss.”Matteo didn't look up.“I slept.”Adrian snorted.“You closed your eyes for three hours.”“That qualifies.”“It absolutely does not.”Clara glanced between them.“You two have been arguing since I arrived.”“It's his favourite hobby,” Adrian said.Matteo finally looked up.“You called me here.”“And now I'm regretting it.”Clara smiled faintly and returned to her tablet.The humour disappeared quickly when Adrian pushed another document across the desk.“This is the complete ownership chain.”Matteo pic

    Matteo opened the passenger door for Clara. She paused before getting in.His father's words were still sitting heavily in her mind. He sacrifices everything for control.She glanced back at the house.“You're not going to ask what your father told me?”Matteo's hand remained on the car door.“No.”“You're not curious?”“I already know what he thinks of me.”There was no anger in his voice. That made it worse.Clara studied his face.“You and your father have been like that for a long time.”Matteo looked toward the house.“Yes.”“How long?”He didn't answer immediately.“Long enough.”She got into the car.Matteo closed the door and walked around to the driver's side.Neither spoke as they pulled away from the house.For several minutes, the only sound was the quiet hum of the engine.Then Clara broke the silence.“Your mother really likes me.”Matteo's fingers tightened slightly around the steering wheel.“She likes everyone.”“No, she doesn't.”“You've known her for one evening.”“

    By the time Matteo finished his call with Theo, Adrian was still waiting outside his office.He was leaning against the wall, scrolling through his phone with the patience of someone who had no intention of leaving.Matteo opened the door.“You're still here.”Adrian slipped his phone into his pocket.“You told me not to sign anything with Valmont.”“I did.”“So naturally, I'm waiting to hear what you're going to do about it.”“Nothing today.”Adrian stared at him.“You're joking.”“No.”“You're the one who told me to stop everything.”“I told you not to sign anything else. I didn't say I'd solve it this afternoon.”Adrian sighed.“Fine. But you need to come home.”Matteo's expression immediately changed.“No.”Adrian's mouth twitched.“I wasn't finished.”“I know where you're going with this.”“Dad wants to see you.”“Then Dad can call me.”“He did.”“I didn't answer.”“I noticed.”Matteo walked back toward his desk.Adrian followed.“It's been months.”“I've been busy.”“You've been

    Theo's warning stayed in the room long after he finished speaking. Matteo remained by the window, his arms folded across his chest.“Which partner?”“I don't have a name yet.”Matteo turned his head. “Then don't give me theories.”Theo gave him a look.“I said I don't have a name. I didn't say I had a theory.”Before Matteo could respond, his office door opened, and Adrian stepped inside. He stopped when he noticed Theo.“Am I interrupting something?”“Yes,” Matteo said.“No,” Theo said at the same time.Adrian glanced between them. “That's helpful.”Theo pushed away from the window.“I'll leave you two to your family drama.”“We don't have family drama,” Adrian said.Theo smiled. “You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.”He walked past Adrian and disappeared through the door. Adrian watched him go.“Who was that?”“Theo.”“I know his name.”“Then why did you ask?”Adrian sighed.“This is why I came to you instead of calling.”Matteo returned to his desk.“You came for

    Clara’s hand fumbled across the nightstand, knocking into her phone twice before she managed to silence the alarm that had just woken her up. The room fell quiet again, but the echo lingered in her skull, sharp and insistent. She lay still for a moment, eyes closed, waiting for the familiar comfor

    Clara’s phone buzzed in her hand, and she knew it was time to leave.She leaned closer to Mark, lowering her voice so it wouldn’t carry over the muted music humming through the private room.“I need to go. I still have work to finish.”Mark barely looked at her. He nodded once, distracted, his atte

    “You can let her in.”Matteo’s voice cut through the room, calm and controlled, as he kept his eyes on the folder in front of him. The words were directed at the phone call, not Clara, but they still subtly shifted the atmosphere in the room.Clara exhaled slowly without meaning to. She only reali

    Clara twisted her face, her brows met as she swerved into the next turn. The morning traffic was already irritating her, and that was before her phone vibrated.She glanced at the screen while slowing at a red light.Devereaux Franchise Team: Meeting confirmed for 9:00 a.m.Her brows knitted toget
