This time, Victoria couldn’t stop Ryder from stepping forward, shielding her from his father.

“I found someone I wanted.” Ryder snapped, his tone filled with warning. “That’s generally how marriage works.”

“Don’t be clever with me.” Rocco replied.

“Then don’t insult my wife in the building I own.”

Victoria was taken aback by how protective he sounded. It sounded like he was seconds away from calling his bodyguards to send them away.

She realised, he had to act like this to play his role

    “Is my wife eavesdropping?”Victoria froze.For one horrible second, she couldn’t think of a single believable excuse. She was standing beside the kitchen entrance with her heels dangling from one hand, her socked feet exposed against the polished floor, and Ryder was looking directly at her.She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.Ryder took one step toward her.Before he could say anything, she blurted out. “Aren’t you hungry?”Victoria smiled, hoping it looked natural. It probably didn’t.“You came home late, and I haven’t eaten either.” She continued, already turning toward the kitchen. “Grandma left food in the refrigerator, and she will be furious if we waste it.”Ryder watched her walk away. “That’s your explanation?”Victoria pulled open the refrigerator. “I wasn’t explaining anything.”“You were standing outside the wall listening to a private conversation.” He said folding his arms. “I was walking toward the kitchen.”“You were standing against the wall.”“

    “She wants to meet you,” Julius said. “In person. Face to face.”“No,” Ryder replied.“I told her that. She smiled.” Julius paused before continuing. “You know I’m not someone who scares easily. I’ve watched that woman charm half a room and destroy the other half without changing her expression. But when she smiled, Ryder, I felt something was wrong.”“Felt what?” Ryder asked.“That she wasn’t asking.”Victoria pressed herself flat against the wall. Her heels were still in her hand, and she was very aware of how ridiculous this was, standing in a corridor in her socked feet while listening through a wall like she was in one of Julie’s novels. She was also aware that she wasn’t moving, because the moment she had heard Serena’s name, curiosity had taken over.“Serena has always been theatrical,” Ryder said. “Everything she does is designed to create a specific reaction.”“I know that. I’ve known it since university.” Julius sounded quieter now, and the easy humor Victoria had com

    A week later, EVANGELINE finally launched again.There was no dramatic countdown this time. No packed online waiting room filled with people refreshing their screens. No huge announcement that had taken weeks to prepare. At ten in the morning, her technician called her.“Everything is live.” He said, sounding almost afraid to celebrate too early.Victoria sat at her desk with her laptop open in front of her. She refreshed the platform and watched the page load without an error.“Is everything working?” She asked.“Registration is working. Payments are working. The matching system is working. The recovered accounts are being restored properly.” He paused before adding, “We’ve tested everything twice.”Victoria smiled. “Test it a third time.”He answered. “Already doing that.”By noon, the first users were registering.By three, the numbers were climbing.The investors who had demanded answers after the failed launch had received their compensation, along with detailed expla

    Ryder had barely returned to his office when Sam came in with the latest report.Victoria was already sitting across from Ryder’s desk, her laptop open and her phone beside it. The press conference had ended less than an hour ago, yet she was already dealing with another round of calls from investors who wanted answers she did not have.Sam placed the tablet on the desk and opened the report. “We’ve narrowed down several possible access points, but we still can’t identify the exact device that started the attack.”Ryder asked. “How many possible points?”“Three. Your office, Mr. Rocco’s office, and Rita’s office.” Sam answered. Victoria released a tired breath and leaned back in her chair. “So it’s Rita.”Sam glanced toward her before looking back at Ryder. “We can’t say that yet.”“I know,” Victoria replied, rubbing her forehead. “I’m saying it’s obvious.”Ryder looked at the information on the tablet again. “What have you found on the three devices?”“Nothing strong enou

    Rita laughed as Victoria's face appeared on the television screen again. She had been watching the press conference from the beginning, and every time Victoria tried to maintain her composure, Rita found another reason to laugh. There was something deeply satisfying about watching a woman who had thrown an attack at her reputation, have her company crumble for all to see. Arthur sat several feet away from her, keeping his attention on the television because looking at Rita for too long when she was in this mood was rarely a wise decision. His hands rested together while his shoulders remained stiff, and he had barely spoken since the conference started. He knew better than to interrupt her when she was enjoying herself.Rita picked up her glass and took a slow drink before setting it down again, her smile remaining on her face as Victoria continued speaking. She watched the screen with open amusement, particularly when Victoria was asked about the comments surrounding her

    Ryder was already heading toward the executive area when Victoria caught his wrist.“Ryder, no!” She said, tightening her fingers around him.He stopped, but the anger in his face hadn’t disappeared.Ryder raised an eyebrow, looking down at her hands.The touch felt a bit too close, but she hadn’t conveyed her point yet. “Barging into the executive area and shouting at everyone isn’t going to solve anything.”Ryder looked at her sharply. “How do you know that’s what I’m about to do?”“Because it’s written all over your face.” Victoria replied.A few seconds passed before Ryder drew in a slow breath and forced himself to stand still. He looked toward the executive offices again, and the more he thought about it, the more irritatingly accurate Victoria’s accusation became.He had been about to storm straight into Rita’s office. He had been ready to demand answers before he had enough evidence to prove anything.That wasn’t like him.Ryder usually thought before he acted. He li
