Nichole's POV

After the initial excitement of the welcome party died down, Jennifer gathered everyone around the conference table in my office. She had several folders and her laptop ready, and I could tell from her expression that we had serious business to discuss.

"Alright," Jennifer said, opening the first folder. "Let me catch you up on everything that happened while you were... away."

I settled into my chair, with Adrian taking the seat next to me. The rest of the board members and key staff arranged themselves around the table.

"First, the good news," Jennifer continued. "The moment the news broke about Vincent Reeves and the truth about the embezzlement charges, our stock price started recovering. We're not back to where we were before the scandal, but we're climbing steadily."

"That's great," I said, feeling some relief.

"The bad news," Robert from the board spoke up, "is what Logan did during the time he was acting CEO."

My stomach clenched. "What do you mean?"

    Lydia's POVI was exhausted as I walked into my apartment that evening. I had just finished a twelve-hour photo shoot for a luxury watch campaign, and every muscle in my body ached from holding poses for hours on end. All I wanted to do was take a hot bath, order some takeout, and go to sleep early.The shoot had gone well though. The photographer kept saying I was "absolutely stunning" and "perfect for the brand." My agent had been texting me all day about how impressed the clients were with my work. It looked like this campaign might lead to even bigger opportunities.I kicked off my designer heels and was about to head to the bathroom when my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and saw it was my agent, Miranda."Hey Miranda," I answered, trying not to sound as tired as I felt. "What's up?""Lydia, I got a very strange phone call today, and I wanted to let you know about it right away."Something in her tone made me pause. Miranda was usually cheerful and upbeat, but she sounded wor

    Nichole's POVThree days after our security meeting, my life had become completely unrecognizable. I woke up that Tuesday morning to the sound of workmen installing motion sensors in my bedroom walls. The constant drilling and hammering had been going on since 6 AM, and I was already exhausted from the noise.I walked downstairs to find a woman I'd never seen before sitting at my kitchen table, casually reading a newspaper and drinking coffee like she owned the place."Good morning, Miss Valmont," she said with a friendly smile. "I'm Sarah, your new shopping companion."Shopping companion. That was the code name Adrian had come up with for my disguised bodyguard. Sarah looked like a perfectly normal woman in her thirties - well-dressed but not too fancy, the kind of person you'd see in any upscale mall or restaurant."Morning," I said, still trying to adjust to having strangers in my house all the time."I thought we could grab breakfast at that new cafe on Fifth Street," Sarah contin

    Nichole's POVThe silence in the room stretched on as we all tried to figure out what to do next. I could see the worry in everyone's faces, and it made me feel guilty that they were all caught up in this mess because of me."Okay," Adrian said finally, breaking the silence. "We need to come up with a real plan to keep Nichole safe. These people, whoever they are, are clearly professionals. We can't just hope they'll go away."Jennifer pulled out a notebook and a pen. "Let's make a list of everything we need to do.""First thing," Adrian continued, "we need to upgrade your security system here at the house. The current system is good, but it's not good enough for people who know how to avoid cameras.""What kind of upgrades?" Mom asked."Hidden cameras in places they wouldn't expect. Motion sensors that can't be seen. Maybe even some fake cameras to throw them off while the real ones are hidden somewhere else."I nodded, though the thought of turning my home into some kind of fortress

    Nichole's POVWhen we got to my house, I was surprised to find both my mom and Jennifer waiting for us in the living room. They both looked worried and tired, like they had been up all night."Thank goodness you're safe," Mom said, immediately pulling me into another hug. "Adrian called us and told us what happened. We've been so scared.""I'm okay, Mom," I said, though I wasn't entirely sure that was true. "Just shaken up."Jennifer was pacing back and forth across the living room. "This is not a coincidence, Nichole. First Vincent and Logan disappear, then someone starts following you in Miami? Someone is definitely watching you."We all sat down around the coffee table, and I told them everything that had happened. About the person in the hoodie at the hotel who had matched my walking pace. About seeing another hooded figure at the airport. About the feeling that I was being watched and followed."Did you get a good look at either of them?" Mom asked."No. They were both wearing ho

    Nichole's POVThe Miami airport was busier than I expected for this time of night. I rushed through the sliding glass doors, my heart still pounding from the encounter at the hotel. The bright fluorescent lights and crowds of travelers should have made me feel safer, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was still being watched.I quickly made my way to the airline counter, grateful that my assistant had already arranged for me to have a company credit card that could handle last-minute first-class tickets. The woman behind the counter was efficient and professional."I need the next flight to New York," I told her urgently."We have a red-eye departing in two hours," she said, typing rapidly on her computer. "First class is available.""Perfect. I'll take it."As she processed my ticket, I kept glancing around the airport terminal. Everyone looked normal – families with tired children, business travelers checking their phones, tourists with oversized luggage. But after months of be

    Nichole's POVThe weeks following our strategy meeting became a whirlwind of activity. I had decided that before I could fully focus on destroying Lydia and Blake, I needed to make things right with the people who had been hurt by their schemes.The families affected by the fake building materials scandal were my first priority. These were people whose homes had been damaged, whose lives had been disrupted, all because of the materials Logan had approved as part of Vincent's plan to frame me.I spent two full days visiting construction sites and meeting with families whose houses had developed structural problems because of the substandard materials. The guilt I felt seeing their damaged homes, listening to their stories about leaking roofs and cracking walls, was overwhelming.Mrs. Henderson, an elderly woman whose kitchen ceiling had collapsed, took my hands in her weathered ones and said, "Miss Valmont, we never blamed you personally. We knew something wasn't right with those mater
