Olivia pov;

"Say something, Olivia," Ethan said, his voice quiet as he looked at me across the room.

I wrapped my silk robe tighter around my waist, my hands shaking as I held the fabric. I stared at the dark wooden floorboards, feeling the heavy silence stretch between us.

"I need time to think," I whispered, unable to meet his grey eyes. "Everything is moving so fast."

Ethan stood still for a long moment, then nodded slowly. He did not try to touch my arm or convince me. He simply stepped bac

    Ethan pov;"Sarah is right about the optics, Ethan," Mason said, turning to me with a worried look on his face. "The board of directors is panicking. Victor has six board members sitting in that room right now who are ready to vote for your temporary suspension. They think you are bringing personal drama into the company.""What is your PR suggestion, Sarah?" I asked, sitting back in my chair."We issue an immediate corporate statement," Sarah said fast, pulling a typed white paper from her red folder. "We say that Kingsley Global Holdings does not comment on ongoing personal litigation involving employees. We state that Ethan Kingsley is focused entirely on corporate growth, and we keep both you and Olivia away from every news camera today. We minimize everything!""No," I said instantly.The small room went completely silent."Ethan, please," Sarah begged. "It is the only safe way to protect your CEO position!""It is not safe, Sarah, it is cowardice," I said, standing up from my le

    Ethan pov;"Ethan Kingsley and Olivia Bennett," the process server said, his voice loud and clear in the quiet hallway. "You have both been officially served."He stepped forward and held out two thick yellow paper folders.I stepped in front of Olivia,reached out to the server, and took both folders from his hands. The yellow paper felt rough and heavy against my fingers.Chairman Victor Hale stood three feet away, his broad arms crossed tightly over his dark suit. His gray hair was combed back neatly, and his sharp eyes were fixed on my face."This is a very bad look, Ethan," Victor said, his deep voice cold and hard. "The board of directors cannot ignore a fresh court summons served right outside our boardroom doors.""Damian Carter filed a fake civil complaint, Victor," I replied, holding his gaze without flinching. "He filed it some minutes ago because his divorce appeal was completely thrown out by a judge.""The board does not care about your personal rivalries," Victor said fi

    Olivia pov;Below the heading were my legal name and Damian's name.I read the words slowly, line by line. The judge noted that Damian Carter had failed to provide any valid evidence of financial fraud. The original property agreement was upheld. The marriage between Olivia Bennett and Damian Carter was officially ended.I stood there for a long time, waiting for something big to happen inside my chest.During the seven long years I lived in Damian's house, I thought about this moment a thousand times. I used to think that when the divorce was finally over, I would scream, or cry tears of joy, or fall to my knees on the floor.Instead, the quiet room stayed perfectly still.It did not feel like a sudden explosion or a grand victory. It felt like the soft click of a door closing—a door that had already been mostly shut for months.I traced the raised seal at the bottom of the page with the pad of my thumb. The paper was dry and smooth."It is over," I whispered to the empty room.The w

    Olivia pov;Sarah Ellington's high, urgent voice crackled through the speakerphone on Ethan's desk."He has called an emergency board meeting for seven AM tomorrow morning," Sarah said, her voice shaking slightly over the line. "And the first item on his agenda is a formal vote on your future as CEO."I stared at the silver speakerphone sitting on the dark mahogany desk. My hands squeezed the leather armrests of my chair."Victor Hale is moving faster than I expected," Mason said. He stepped closer to the desk and rested his palms on the polished wood. "He must have seen the photos on the news sites few minutes ago."Ethan did not flinch. He stood by the tall glass window, watching the rain wash down the dark panes. The yellow city lights reflected in his steel-gray eyes."Let him call the meeting," Ethan said softly. "I will not run from Victor.""Ethan, please listen to me," Sarah Ellington pleaded through the speaker. "If Victor gets six board members to vote against you, you are o

    Ethan pov;"What is your plan?" Mason asked, leaning over my desk toward the black speaker."We issue an immediate public statement denying everything," Sarah said firmly. "We claim the meeting at the Blue Note Lounge was purely a cold, professional recruitment interview. We state that Ethan met with dozens of prospective assistants that month, and Miss Bennett was simply one of many job candidates.""A recruitment interview at a jazz club at ten o'clock at night?" Mason asked, raising an eyebrow."We spin it!" Sarah insisted. "We say Ethan was working late and needed a quiet place to meet. We make it sound boring, cold, and strictly professional. If we minimize the personal connection completely, we can kill this story in twenty-four hours. We downplay the whole night!"I sat back in my leather chair, staring at the black speakerphone on my desk."You want me to lie," I said flatly."It is not lying, Ethan, it is strategic public relations!" Sarah argued. "We are protecting a multi-b

    Ethan pov;"Get behind me, Olivia!" I shouted, reaching out into the cold darkness.My fingers caught her warm wrist, pulling her firmly behind my back. The heavy metal doors of the basement elevator slid open with a sharp, grinding noise that echoed through the quiet corridor.Red emergency lights flashed along the walls of the hallway, casting long, twisting shadows across the carpet.Chloe stepped out into the dim red glow. Her platinum-blonde hair was wild around her face, her eyes wide and red with pure rage. Her expensive leather coat was torn at the elbow, and her high heels clicked unevenly against the floorboards. She held a black computer tablet tightly in her shaking hands."You ruined my life, Ethan!" Chloe screamed, her voice high and wild in the dark corridor. "You took everything away from me for her!"Agent Hayes and Agent James stepped forward instantly, holding up their gold badges."Chloe Whitmore, stay right where you are!" Agent Hayes commanded, his loud voice boo
