ROOSEVELT’S POV

The morning sun streamed through the windows of the master bedroom, warming my skin.

I sat at the edge of the bed, holding a small white box in my hands. I carefully lifted the lid and gazed at the little knitted baby socks inside. A smile spread across my face.

For the first time in weeks, I felt peace in my heart.

Zyran had promised me. He looked me in the eyes on that bridge and said he was sending Mina away forever.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car pulling into the drive

    MATEO’S POV"Welcome to New York, Mr. Thompson."I stepped out of the car and looked up, the cold city wind hit my face."It is a very tall building, Leo," I said, staring at the glass skyscraper in front of us."Fifty floors, sir," Leo said proudly. He stood beside me, holding his tablet. "Right in the middle of Manhattan, the purchase was finalized while we were in the air so it is officially yours.""Let's go inside," I said.We walked through the doors, the lobby was huge, but it was completely empty and dark. The furniture was covered in white sheets."It needs a lot of work," I noted, my voice echoing in the large, empty space. "The floors are terrible and the lighting is too dim.""We can hire a top design firm here in the city tomorrow morning, sir," Leo suggested quickly. "They can start the renovations immediately.""No," I said softly.Leo frowned. "No?"I reached into my briefcase and pulled out a folder then i handed it to him."I already have the designs," I said.Leo op

    NIXIE’S POVIt was Mateo Thompson and he looked like he was fucking ready to kill."Who the hell are you?" Liam spat, puffing out his chest. "This is my wife! Mind your damn business!""Step away from her," Mateo ordered."I said she is my wife!" Liam yelled, taking a step toward Mateo. "Walk away, pretty boy, before I break your jaw!"Mateo didn’t even flinch, he looked at Liam with disgust."I don't care who she is to you," Mateo said coldly. "If you don't step back right now, my driver will get out of this car and break both of your legs."Liam stopped and looked past Mateo. The driver’s door opened, and a bodyguard stepped into the light.Liam’s fake bravery vanished instantly and his face turned pale, he took a quick step back.I coughed, holding my bruised ribs. "Let him go, Mateo," I gasped out, pushing myself up from the floor.Mateo looked down at me, his hazel eyes were unreadable."Are you sure?" Mateo asked quietly. "My man can handle him.""Yes," I whispered, wiping the

    NIXIE’S POV"Let go of my arm, Liam!" I shouted, pulling back with all my strength."You are still my wife!" Liam hissed, tightening his grip on my wrist. "You owe me!""I owe you absolutely nothing!" I screamed right in his face. "We signed the divorce papers two years ago! The judge stamped them! You are not my freaking husband!""A piece of paper doesn't mean anything to me," Liam growled, stepping closer. He smelled like alcohol. "You are wearing designer clothes while I am drowning in debt. You are going to give me my cut, Nixie.""I will give you nothing," I said coldly.I stopped pulling away. I stood tall and looked him straight in his eyes."Never look for me again, Liam," I warned him, my voice steady. "If you come near me, I will call the police."Liam laughed darkly. "You were always too scared to call the cops.""I am not that scared, broken girl anymore," I whispered fiercely. "I built a new life, without you. By the way, how are your two kids doing? The ones you had wit

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"If we are a real family now, does that mean I can have a baby brother?"The wind blew across the balcony, for a moment, nobody spoke.Zyran choked on his breath. He began coughing, his face turning red.I burst out laughing. I covered my mouth, my shoulders shaking with laughter."A baby brother?" Zyran finally asked, catching his breath. He looked at Lorna with wide eyes. "Where did you hear about baby brothers, little one?""Sofia at school has a baby brother," Lorna explained seriously. "He is very small, he sleeps all day. I want one so I can teach him how to paint."Zyran looked up at me slowly. The shock on his face changed into a slow, wicked smile. His dark eyes burned with sudden intensity."Well," Zyran murmured, his voice dropping to a deep, rough tone. "I think that's a wonderful idea, Lorna. What do you think, Mommy?"My face turned hot. "I think it's time for little girls to go back to sleep.""But Mama!" Lorna pouted."No buts, bug," I said, smiling as

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"Hello, Mother," Zyran said. "I hear you have been talking about my wife."Beatrice’s face turned completely white, she gripped the edge of the table."She is not your wife!" Beatrice shrieked, pointing a shaking finger at me. She looked at the men sitting around the table. "Look at him! He is completely unstable! He flew across the world for a woman who kidnapped his only child!""I didn't kidnap anyone," I said. My voice was perfectly calm. I stepped out from behind Zyran, I walked right up to the table. I didn't look at Beatrice. I looked directly at the board members."My name is Roosevelt King as you all know me," I said clearly, holding up my left hand so the lights caught my ring. "I am Zyran’s wife as you all know. We have been married for nine years and the child Beatrice is talking about is my daughter."The board members started whispering to each other. They looked at my ring."She is lying!" Clara yelled from her seat. "She hid the baby for five years! Sh

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"She is demanding full custody of your daughter."The lawyer's panicked voice came through the speakerphone. The words struck me like a blow to the chest.Zyran stood completely still, his eyes became frighteningly empty."On what grounds?" Zyran asked. His voice was quiet and cold, making the hair on my arms stand up."She is telling the board that you had a mental breakdown," the lawyer explained quickly. "She is using the fact that you froze her bank accounts and suddenly moved to Italy as proof. She told the press that Ms. Evans brainwashed you. She claims you are unfit to run the company and unable to protect the heir."I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand."She wants to declare me insane," Zyran said flatly."Yes, Mr. King," the lawyer swallowed hard. "If the board believes her, they could vote to remove you as CEO. If a judge believes her, she can take emergency custody of Lorna to 'protect' the bloodline.""Call the board," Zyran commanded, his voice shar
