NICHOLE'S POV

I sat on my bed, staring at the ceiling. My heart was still beating fast from what just happened downstairs with Adrian.

Why does this always happen to me? Every time I'm around him, I feel like I can't breathe properly. My chest gets tight, and my hands start to shake a little bit.

It's not fair. I don't want to feel this way about anyone, especially not about Adrian.

After what Blake did to me, I promised myself I would never let any man get close to me again. I would never let anyone have that kind of power over me. But here I am, feeling all these strange things whenever Adrian is around.

I don't understand it. Is it because he's always trying to protect me? Is it because he gets angry when I'm not safe? Or is it something else completely?

I remember when we were younger, before everything went wrong. Adrian and I used to be so close. We would talk about everything. He would make me laugh when I was sad. He would help me with my homework when I was stuck.

    Adrian's POVJennifer showed him her computer logs. "Logan's been accessing systems at weird hours. Looking at files he shouldn't have access to. And look at this."She pulled up an email chain. "These are emails between Logan and someone called 'LR Industries.' They've been planning something called 'Phase Three' for months.""LR Industries?" I asked.Marcus smiled. "Logan Martinez? Vincent Reeves? Could be a front company."I stood up. "We need to get this information to the board. Show them Logan's been lying.""It's not that simple," Marcus said. "We need more proof. And we need to be smart about how we do this.""Nichole doesn't have time for us to be smart. They're destroying her reputation right now."Marcus walked to his desk and picked up his phone. "I have a contact at Channel 7 News. Sarah Chen. She's been looking for a big story.""The news?""Sometimes the best way to fight lies is with the truth. If we can get Sarah to investigate this story, it puts pressure on Logan. M

    ADRIAN'S POVI watched through the lobby windows as the security guards walked Nichole to her car. My hands were pressed against the glass so hard my knuckles were white.This was wrong. Everything about this was wrong."Adrian," Jennifer said behind me. "We have to do something. Now."I turned around. Jennifer's face was red with anger. She had her laptop bag over her shoulder and a thick folder in her hands."What's in the folder?" I asked."Everything we've been collecting on Logan for the past weeks. Bank records, email logs, meeting schedules. All the weird stuff that didn't make sense before."I pulled out my phone. "I'm calling Marcus Webb.""The investigator?""He's been digging into this Vincent Reeves thing. If Logan just pulled this stunt, it means they're moving fast. We need to move faster."I dialed Marcus's number. He picked up on the second ring."Adrian? What's wrong? You sound stressed.""They just kicked Nichole out of the company. Emergency board meeting. Logan had

    NICHOLE'S POVI was working on some reports when my assistant came in. She looked nervous, which was weird because Sarah was usually pretty calm about everything."Ms. Thompson? There's an emergency board meeting. They want you in Conference Room A right now."I looked up from my papers. "Emergency meeting? I didn't call any meeting.""Mr. Martinez said it was urgent. Something about Gregory Alex."My heart started beating fast. Logan was calling meetings now? That wasn't right. As the head of this company, I should be the one calling emergency meetings. Especially about something this serious."Who's there?""Most of the board. They've been coming in for twenty minutes. Mr. Peterson, Mrs. Chen, Mr. Williams. Even Mr. Brooks came in from his vacation."That made my stomach drop. Mr. Brooks never cut his vacations short. Never."Did they say anything else?""No, but they all looked really serious. And they had briefcases. Like they came prepared for something big."Something was wrong.

    ADRIAN'S POVI couldn't sleep. Something about this whole Logan thing was eating at me.It was 2 AM when I called my contact. Marcus worked in financial investigation - we had done business together before when I needed to check out potential partners."Adrian, man, this better be important," Marcus said when he picked up."I need you to dig into someone's financial records. Tonight. I'll pay double your usual rate."Marcus was quiet for a moment. "Alright. Send me what you have."Three hours later, Marcus called back.Logan had been making regular transfers to an offshore account in the Cayman Islands. But that wasn't the strange part. The strange part was the timing.The transfers started six months before Gregory's first theft. Six months.That meant Logan knew about the ponzi scheme before Gregory even touched the company money.My phone buzzed. A text from my old contact, Marcus."Found what you asked for. Meet me at the usual place. 8 AM."****Marcus was already waiting when I

    BLAKE'S POVFor days and weeks, I had been looking behind me, waiting for the day that bitch would show up to take back the contract deal she gave me, but she didn't come.I couldn't believe that despite Lydia's stupid attempt at abducting her, she still went ahead and gave me back the contract deal.What the hell could she be planning?I asked myself that question every time I woke up in the morning. I never failed to look around me anytime I stepped out of the house to go to the company.Maybe she was watching me? Maybe she was waiting for the right time to strike, or maybe this was her strategy—a way of getting the public on her side.Whatever it was, I couldn't trust it, but still, I was glad that I had my company back. We still won.Lydia had been quiet ever since she came back. She barely talked to me and barely ate. I tried countless times to talk to her, but she would always end up shushing me and yelling at me to leave her alone.I stood up from the bed. As usual, Lydia wasn'

    NICHOLE'S POV "I'll find out the truth," I promised. "Whatever that truth is.""Thank you," she whispered. "And Nichole? I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm sorry our family problems became your problems.""We're family," I said. "Your problems are my problems. I just wish you had told me sooner."After we hung up, I sat in the empty boardroom staring at my phone. Everything I thought I knew about this situation was shifting.Gregory was still guilty. He still stole the money. But maybe he wasn't the mastermind I thought he was.I thought about Logan's reaction when we revealed the evidence. He wasn't surprised. He wasn't shocked. He was almost... relieved. Like he'd been expecting it.And now I knew he had a habit of collecting information about people. Personal information. The kind of information that could be used against them.I thought about Gregory's behavior over the past few weeks since I took over the company. The times he looked tired, stressed, worried. I'd assumed it was
