Olivia

I froze, my coffee cup halfway to my lips, as Ryan's words hung in the air between us. What the hell was he playing at? My mind raced, trying to understand why he'd suddenly appeared in my life again, throwing accusations about my marriage.

I set my cup down with deliberate care, buying myself a moment. Five months ago, this man had shattered my heart when I caught him with Sophia. Now he was sitting across from me, looking at me with those familiar eyes, spewing nonsense about my marriage.

"What are you talking about? Where did you hear that bullshit?" I hissed, leaning forward myself.

"I didn't hear it anywhere. I figured it out." He tapped his temple. "Think about it. You've always been cautious, methodical. You wouldn't even move in with me after years together. But suddenly you're married to your boss."

"So your evidence is that I married too quickly for your liking? That's rich coming from you."

"There's more to it." His eyes narrowed. "Carter Enterprises' stock jump

    Olivia"Everything's fine," he assured me. "There's a charity gala for the Children's Hospital Foundation this Saturday. As major donors, we're expected to attend." "Oh," I said, relief washing over me. Just a social event. "That sounds nice." "It's black tie," Alexander added. "Very formal. The company has a table, and several board members will be there." "I'll need a dress." Alexander smiled. "I've already arranged for a stylist to bring some options to the house tomorrow evening." "Of course you have. Do you always think of everything?" "I try," he said, looking pleased with himself. "It's important that we make a good impression. The foundation does incredible work." "What kind of charity is it exactly?" I asked, genuinely curious. "They fund research and treatment programs for children with rare diseases. Carter Enterprises donates annually to its pediatric research center." I nodded, impressed. "That's wonderful. I'd love to learn more about their work." "The head of

    OliviaThe cool air hit my face as I stepped onto the sidewalk, a welcome relief after the tension inside. My phone buzzed in my purse. I pulled it out, half-expecting to see Ryan's name. Instead, it was a text from Alfred. Alfred: Mrs. Carter, your new vehicle has been delivered to the estate. The paperwork is on the kitchen counter for your review. I smiled, excitement bubbling up inside me. My Porsche had arrived. I quickly texted back a thank you before checking the time. I still had ten minutes before my next meeting, just enough time to compose myself and push all thoughts of Ryan away. By the time I returned to the office, I was focused again on the Thompson project. The meeting with my team went smoothly, with everyone presenting innovative concepts for the hotel rebrand. Even Michelle seemed impressed with our progress. "Great work, everyone," I said as we wrapped up. The rest of the workday passed in a blur of meetings and emails. By six o'clock, I was exhausted but eag

    AlexanderI couldn't help but laugh, the sound echoing in the break room. "You can't beat me, James. You never could." His eyes narrowed slightly, but his smile remained fixed. "Not yet. But one day, Alexander. One day I will." The casual observer might have seen friendly banter between business rivals, but I knew better. Our competition had begun years ago in college, and what had started as a friendly rivalry had morphed into something far more complex. "Why don't we get back to the meeting?" I suggested, turning toward the door. "Wait," James said, his voice suddenly less confident. "I've been meaning to ask you something. Why wasn't I invited to your wedding?" I paused, genuinely surprised by the question. "My wedding?" "Yes, your wedding," he repeated, his tone casual but eyes watchful. "Was it intentional, or did you just forget about your old friend?" I hadn't given it a second thought. With the rushed timeline and everything else happening, James hadn't even crossed my

    AlexanderI parted from Olivia at the elevator, heading toward my office. Just before the doors closed, I turned back for one final look.Olivia stood tall, confidence radiating from her posture as she spoke with another employee. The pencil skirt hugged her curves perfectly, accentuating her shapely legs and the gentle swell of her hips. The matching blazer highlighted her trim waist before flaring subtly over her breasts.She was magnificent, not just physically attractive but commanding attention with her intelligence and poise. Even from this distance, I could see how she captivated her audience, gesturing animatedly as she spoke.My wife was making quite an impression at Carter Enterprises, not just because of her connection to me.When I reached my office, Jessica was already waiting, tablet in hand and coffee on my desk."Good morning, Mr. Carter," she greeted, professional as always. "Your schedule is updated on your tablet. The acquisition meeting at Meridian Properties has b

    OliviaI inhaled deeply, letting the earthy aroma fill my senses before taking a bite. "Oh my god," I moaned, eyes closing involuntarily. "This is incredible." Alexander watched me with amusement. "I take it you approve?" "I might need a moment alone with this food," I joked, taking another bite. "What is this exactly?" "Risotto with black truffles and a hint of aged parmesan." He took a bite himself, nodding appreciatively. "The chef here imports the truffles directly from Italy." "Of course he does." I rolled my eyes playfully. "Do you ever do anything that isn't ridiculously extravagant?" "I married you, didn't I?" Alexander quipped, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Are you calling me cheap, Mr. Carter?" I gasped in mock offense. "Not cheap. Priceless." He leaned forward, his voice dropping. "And that's exactly why you deserve extravagant things." The sincerity in his voice caught me off guard, sending an unexpected flutter through my stomach. I busied myself with anothe
