The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Viper’s Den
Chapter 328The seventy-fifth floor of Cole Tech headquarters was a monument to absolute power. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows offered a panoramic, dizzying view of the Seattle skyline. At the center of the floor sat the executive boardroom, walled entirely in frosted, soundproof glass.Ethan strode down the corridor, ignoring the frantic whispers of the assistants and junior executives who parted like the Red Sea for him.He pushed open the heavy double doors of the boardroom.The room was already packed. The massive oval table was surrounded by fifteen of the most ruthless corporate sharks in North America. These were the board members. The men and women who controlled the fate of the tech empire.At the head of the table, sitting in the CEO’s high-backed leather chair, was Victor Cole.Victor looked entirely entirely at ease, sipping a black coffee. Standing directly behind his right shoulder, wearing a sickeningly triumphant smile and a pristine white Chanel suit, was Chloe.Ethan
The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride The Ghost Wedding
Chapter 327The judge’s chambers were small, smelling of old paper, polished wood, and stale coffee. It was the exact opposite of the grand, sun-drenched cathedral in Provence where they were supposed to have exchanged their vows five years ago.Judge Miller, a stern-looking man on Cole Tech’s payroll, cleared his throat, looking between the two terrifyingly powerful billionaires standing before his desk."This is highly irregular," Judge Miller noted, stamping the expedited license. "But given the paperwork, we can proceed. Do you have rings?""No," Zara answered quickly. "It's a corporate merger. We don't need""I have a ring," Ethan interrupted quietly.Zara’s head snapped toward him.Ethan reached into the inner breast pocket of his suit jacket and pulled out a small, worn black velvet box. His hand trembled slightly as he opened it.Zara stopped breathing.Nestled in the black velvet was a flawless, four-carat emerald-cut diamond, set on a delicate platinum band laced with crushe

Chapter 326The law offices of Sterling & Vance were entirely empty at 2:00 AM, save for the massive corner suite where Zara’s lead corporate attorney, David, was frantically typing on his laptop. Empty coffee cups littered the glass desk.Zara stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the Seattle rain slick the glass."Ms. Frost," David said, rubbing his bloodshot eyes behind his wire-rimmed glasses. "I have drafted the prenuptial agreement exactly to your specifications, but I have to advise you against this. Legally speaking, marrying the CEO of a rival conglomerate hours before a hostile board meeting is tantamount to corporate suicide if he double-crosses you.""He won't double-cross me," Zara said quietly, her reflection staring back at her in the dark glass.He would die before he hurts me again, she thought, though she refused to say it out loud."Even so, the terms you’ve demanded are incredibly aggressive," David sighed, printing the heavy stack of documents. "Clause f

Chapter 325Zara stared at her phone, convinced she had misread the message.Authorize a complete merger."Pull over," Zara barked at her driver.The armored SUV immediately veered to the side of the rainy Seattle street, idling beneath a flickering streetlight.Zara hit the call button on the encrypted app, pressing the phone to her ear. Ethan answered on the first ring."A merger?" Zara demanded, not even bothering to say hello. "Ethan, are you out of your mind? If I merge Frost Industries into Cole Tech, Victor will gain access to my board, my financials, and my assets! He will swallow my company whole!""He won't," Ethan’s voice was low, raspy, and tightly controlled. "Because you aren't merging into Cole Tech. You are merging with me."Zara frowned, her mind racing. "What does that mean?""Victor currently holds forty percent of Cole Tech’s voting shares," Ethan explained rapidly, the brilliant, cutthroat CEO taking over completely. "I hold forty-five percent. The remaining fifte

Chapter 324The night air suddenly felt thick, suffocating.Zara didn’t flinch. She didn’t scramble away from Ethan like a child caught doing something wrong. Instead, she deliberately adjusted the lapel of Ethan’s bespoke suit, smoothing the fabric with a calm, proprietary grace before stepping half a pace back.Ethan, despite the agonizing fatigue still gnawing at his bones, immediately shifted his stance. He placed himself marginally in front of Zara, a subtle but absolute wall between her and Victor's armed guards."Victor," Ethan said smoothly, his voice devoid of the tremors that had racked his body just moments before. The beta-blockers had kicked in, returning his heart rate to a steady, lethal rhythm. "Are we taking the board meeting outside?"Victor stepped fully onto the terrace, his dark eyes sweeping over them. The shark-like smile was completely gone, replaced by a calculating, dangerous scowl."I was wondering where my CEO and my most stubborn rival disappeared to," Vic
The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride A Shift in the Board
Chapter 323Zara slipped back through the French doors, instantly morphing her expression from a terrified lover back into the icy CEO of Frost Industries.The dining room was buzzing with quiet conversation. Victor was at the head of the table, looking annoyed that his two main guests had vanished. Julian was already back in his seat, his face pale, staring blankly at his half-eaten dessert. Chloe was nowhere to be seen.Perfect, Zara thought.She bypassed the dining room entirely, slipping into the grand hallway and heading straight for the massive, sweeping staircase.She remembered the layout of the Cole Manor perfectly. Five years ago, Ethan had brought her here. They had sneaked up these very stairs, laughing, hiding from Victor’s judgmental glares. It felt like a lifetime ago.Zara reached the second-floor landing and moved quickly down the corridor toward the master suite.She quietly pushed open the heavy oak door. The room was dark, illuminated only by the moonlight filterin
