When she opened them again, Amara was still watching her carefully.

“Are you okay now?” she asked.

Clara nodded, though the unease hadn’t left her completely.

“I will be.”

She was still speaking when the door pushed open suddenly. Clara turned, startled.

Luca stepped in, his presence immediate, his eyes scanning her from head to toe like he was assessing a situation that had already been reported to him.

“The flowers,” the other woman who had taken them out said quickly from behind him. “She re

    When she opened them again, Amara was still watching her carefully.“Are you okay now?” she asked.Clara nodded, though the unease hadn’t left her completely.“I will be.”She was still speaking when the door pushed open suddenly. Clara turned, startled.Luca stepped in, his presence immediate, his eyes scanning her from head to toe like he was assessing a situation that had already been reported to him.“The flowers,” the other woman who had taken them out said quickly from behind him. “She reacted to them…”Luca didn’t wait for more.“We’re going to the clinic,” he said, already moving toward Clara.Clara blinked, caught off guard by the urgency.“I’m fine,” she replied, straightening slightly. “It’s already passed.”His gaze didn’t soften.“That didn’t look fine.”“It’s normal,” she insisted, brushing her fingers against her arm. “I’ll go to a hospital on my way home.”“There’s no need for that,” Luca cut in, his tone firm but controlled. “There’s a clinic in the building.”Clara p

    Clara's mind started moving faster.‘They’ve already found something.’Matteo didn’t look at her. His focus stayed on Luca, his expression sharpening slightly, like a blade being drawn.“Who is responsible?” he asked, his voice low, controlled.Luca didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he walked toward the desk, placed the laptop down, and turned it toward Matteo. The screen glowed between them, casting a faint light across Matteo’s already cold features.Clara took a step forward instinctively then stopped.There was something about the space around Matteo right now. It wasn’t just authority. It was heavier and colder. Like stepping any closer would be crossing a line she didn’t want to test.So she stayed where she was, close enough to see, but not close enough to stand beside him.Luca exhaled once before speaking.“It wasn’t posted directly,” he began, his tone steady. “The image was first sent to a private contact… before it went public.”Clara’s brows pulled together.‘A private

    Matteo had dealt with board members who controlled billions of dollars. Men who built empires. Women who could dismantle reputations with a single statement.None of them had ever spoken back to him. Not once.His fingers tapped lightly against the armrest as the thought settled deeper. Over the years, he had cultivated a presence that made people think twice before speaking, and reconsider entirely before challenging him. It wasn’t just authority. It was control and precision. Fear.And yet… Clara Reynolds had ignored all of that. First, she had kissed him. Without warning. Without his permission.His jaw tightened slightly. Even if she had warned him, he wouldn’t have allowed it.And now… Now she was standing in his office, having just spoken to him in a way no one else dared.Matteo lifted his gaze back to her.Clara hadn’t moved. She stood near the door, her posture still straight, but there was something new in her expression. A flicker. Shock, maybe. Realization.But not regret

    Clara didn’t move.For a second, the room blurred at the edges, her thoughts stalling completely. She hadn’t expected this. If anything, she’d expected Matteo to introduce her himself, control the narrative the way he controlled everything else.Not throwing her into it without warning.Her fingers curled slightly against the table as the weight of dozens of eyes settled on her. She could feel it, their curiosity, their quiet assessment.Then, softly Luca’s voice came, low and controlled.“Clara.”She blinked and looked up.Matteo’s gaze was already on her. Cold. Expectant and unyielding.No help was coming.Clara straightened slowly, pulling in a steady breath as she pushed down the flicker of irritation rising in her chest. If he wanted to test her, fine.She wouldn’t fail.She rose from her seat, smoothing her blouse instinctively before letting her hands rest lightly at her sides.“Good morning,” she began, her voice clear and composed. “My name is Clara Reynolds.”She paused brie

    Clara couldn’t look away from him.There was something different about Matteo this morning. Not just the coldness, that had always been there, but the intensity beneath it. It felt sharper, but barely controlled.Her chest tightened slightly as she studied him, her thoughts slipping before she could stop them.‘This version of him… was not the man she had walked up to at the bar. This was someone she would have avoided completely.’A quiet shift in the room pulled her back, but it was his voice that snapped her fully out of it.“Is that how competent you are?”The words landed flat and cold.Clara blinked, straightening instinctively as her attention locked on him.Matteo turned from the window, his gaze cutting straight through her. “With everything going on, you don’t pick your calls. You don’t respond to messages.”Her lips parted slightly. “My phone was on…”He didn’t let her finish.“How many minutes?” he asked, already looking past her.Luca glanced at his watch without hesitati

    The elevator doors slid open, and Clara stepped out with Luca beside her.They walked in silence toward the underground garage, the echo of their footsteps bouncing faintly against the concrete walls. Clara’s thoughts were still tangled, looping back to the urgency in Luca’s voice and the weight behind Matteo’s sudden demand.‘Something wasn’t right.’When they reached the parking area, Clara angled toward her car automatically, fishing her keys out of her bag.“I’ll follow you,” she said, already moving.“Wait.”Luca’s voice stopped her.She turned, brows slightly drawn. “What?”“You’ll ride with me,” he said, nodding toward a sleek black sports car parked a few spaces away. “We’ll get there faster.”Clara glanced at the car, then back at him. For a second, she considered arguing. But the tension pressing at the back of her mind made the decision for her.“…Fine.”They walked over together, and Luca unlocked the car with a soft click. The door lifted slightly as she pulled it open, r

    The door creaked open wider, and both Clara and Mark turned at the same time.Luca stood at the entrance, composed as ever, his sharp gaze taking in the scene in a single sweep. His presence filled the room effortlessly, calm yet authoritative in a way that made the air shift instantly.Clara recov

    Clara’s body went still the moment she saw who stood at the door.Mark.For a second, the shock hit first. It froze her in place, her fingers tightening slightly against her side. Then it faded just as quickly, replaced by something sharper. Anger.Her eyes hardened.Behind her, Tara leaned slightl

    Tara scoffed, the sound sharp and disbelieving.“Really?” she asked, leaning back in her chair, arms crossing tightly over her chest. “You want to play dumb with me?”Clara held her gaze for a second.‘She knew. Of course she knew.’ She thought.But she didn’t say anything. Tara didn’t wait.She gr

    A soft, persistent sound pulled Clara out of sleep.“Mm…”Her brows furrowed as she shifted slightly on the couch, her neck protesting from the awkward angle. The sound came again.A low, insistent meow.Clara blinked her eyes open, disoriented. The living room lights were still on.Nyx stood besid
