Olivia pov;

My hands curled into tight fists inside my sweater pockets. "What kind of data?"

Agent James clicked on a small yellow icon on the screen. "Personnel files, private email logs, internal security camera archives, and personal phone backups from the executive floor."

"She did not just want company trade secrets," I said, my voice quiet in the cold room. "She wanted personal files."

"She wanted weaponized gossip," Ethan said softly. He turned toward me, his grey eyes filled with quiet

    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

"She wanted personal files.""She wanted weaponized gossip," Ethan said softly. He turned toward me, his grey eyes filled with quiet protection. "She wanted something she could use to cause damage out of pure spite."While the two agents kept typing on the terminal, Ethan stepped back into the hallway with me. He pulled the heavy metal door half-shut, blocking out the loud hum of the cooling fans. The hallway was quiet, except for the rain tapping against the tall glass windows at the end of the corridor.Ethan looked down at my face. "Where were you this morning, Olivia? When I woke up, your note was on the table, but you we

    Olivia pov;The two federal agents walked slowly across the heavy grey carpet toward us. They wore dark blue coats and shiny black shoes that made quiet clicking sounds against the floor. The tall agent on the left had short grey hair and held a thick paper folder under his arm. On the wall television behind Mason, the news reporter was still speaking outside the Riverton Federal Courthouse, her voice coming through the speaker in quick, urgent bursts."We are live at the federal courthouse," the reporter said, holding her microphone close to her mouth against the cold wind. "Federal prosecutors have formally unsealed an indictment against CEO Damian Carter. But leaked court documents reveal an arrest warrant has also been issued for a high-ranking executive inside Kingsley Global Holdings."The tall agent stopped five feet away from where Mason and I stood."Ethan Kingsley?" the lead agent asked.The heavy wooden door to the corner office swung open before Mason could answer.
