AUDREY'S POV

I rushed out of Aiden's ward after hearing Scott's words. He wouldn't tell me what had happened to Claire so I had to find out by myself. I rushed downstairs and he was right behind me as we both walked into the doctor's office.

“Doctor, how's my friend?” I asked in worry as I sat down on the chair opposite him and he let out a sigh before taking off his glasses. Scott sat next to me and took my hand, almost like he was giving me the silent support that I needed.

“Well, your friend was hit badly from behind at the back of her head. She's fine now but there's a little problem…” He said calmly and my heart pounded wildly in my chest as he placed his hands on the table.

“Tell me what it is, doctor. As long as she's fine and she's not dying, I'm sure it's not that bad.” I said to him but I didn't know if I was reassuring myself or reassuringly him.

“Your friend might end up losing her memory.” He said and it felt like a bomb had been dropped inside me. “With how badly sh

  • Faking Love, Making War: The CEO’s Dirty Secrets   CHAPTER 183

    Audrey's POVI'm shocked awake like I would from a nightmare. The safe room is chilly now. My heart pulses in my chest with each reminder of horror outside waiting for us. I sit up abruptly on the floor with Aiden leaning against me. His thin, steady breath is a weak source of comfort in a world that's seemingly gone mad.I keep the secrets diary close to me, its pages anchored with painful truths and bitter vows. Michael's ultimatum echoes in my mind: "Surrender now or lose everything." The nearer the clock hands inch towards that fatal time, the more it disturbs me.I force myself to rise and go to the small window. The storm outside has eased to a steady rain, but foreboding clouds hang overhead like threatening harbingers of greater tragedy. I remember Lucas's soft words last night: "Our love is our shield, Audrey. We fight together." I close my eyes and strive to hold that promise in my heart.The door creaks as a guard rushes in. His eyes are wide with urgency. "Ma'am, we have t

    Audrey's POVI hugged Aiden, feeling his heat against me because I couldn't see beyond my blinding tears. The threat was still there—Michael's voice ringing in my head: "Surrender now or lose everything." I knew that if we didn't act, our family would be shattered by the weight of his lies. I crawled up, fear repressed, and hurried to the steel door. I held my ear against the door, listening intently for each sound, every muffled command from the enemy. My heart pounded to each distant yell.And then the door slammed open. Lucas charged in, bruised and dripping from head to toe, his eyes burning with raw determination. "Audrey, they're here!" he thundered, squeezing me hard in his arms. I was stunned with relief and fear at his grip around me."Don't leave me, Lucas," I cried, shaking with desperation."I won't, Audrey. I promise, I'm not going." His eyes flared into my eyes, with love and the seriousness of what lay ahead.A guard interrupted him, his words spilling out in terror: "

    Audrey's POVThe guard's expression turns dark. "I also saw a man wearing a red tie. I believe he was Michael's second in command." My stomach tightens. The red tie brings back memories of the betrayals and hurtful things which I have not forgiven. I hug Aiden closely in my arms as fear and determination commingle in my heart.There is another text message on my phone. I read it with a calm pace:"Surrender now or lose everything."The words hit me in the face. I can feel my heart thudding as I read them once more. I will not give Michael the upper hand. I will not allow our family to be broken by his bullying.The intercom jolts to life. "Audrey, Lucas is returning. He says it's time."I stand up quickly, my legs shaking, and proceed to the door. When I open it, Lucas walks in, his face set and eyes with both love and worry. He spreads his arms and wraps me close, as if to merge our hearts."Audrey, listen," he tells her, his voice stern but even. "We have to be brave. Michael's men

    Audrey's POV The face of the guard became more serious. "There's one with a very distinctive red tie in there—Michael's second in command, likely." My heart sank. The red tie stood for betrayal in our legacy—a pain that had been awakened by Michael's machinations. I hugged Aiden tight, holding all of the vulnerability close. Daniel's voice over the intercom once more: "Audrey, you must decide. Surrender and let Michael rule, or resist and lose everything." The decision teetered in the balance, ready to shatter our tenuous peace. I looked at the journal in my lap, its folded pages a record of secrets too painful to face, but too vital to ignore. I recalled each year, each heartbreak, each promise I had ever made to Lucas. I recalled the flame that had burned through the blackest nights—the soft kisses on our island in solitude, Lucas's steadfast vow to protect Aiden, the unshakable determination in his eyes when he vowed to me that we would never be broken. I took a raw, shudd

  • Faking Love, Making War: The CEO’s Dirty Secrets   CHAPTER 179

    Audrey's POV We drove up to a hidden safe house—a decrepit building that had been walled off from attackers. Trapped tension in the air within. Guards gilded silently by, and the muted hum of security cameras whined all over the place. Lucas led me into a secure meeting room where Daniel sat stern-faced. Lucas, Audrey, "Daniel's voice was tense, "we've received an intercept. Michael's attacked from several fronts simultaneously. His last message warns us that if we don't surrender by noon, he'll start a chain reaction that will destroy all of our assets." My stomach tightened. "What's that mean?" I gasped. Daniel's head trembled. "It means, Audrey, that we have an hour left. Michael's ready. He's already moved essential systems to the cloud and is after our financials and comms. I whispered, my voice low in the cold, hollow room. Lucas's face grew set in determination. "We have but one option," he said to me, his tone unyielding. "We fight. We expose his falsehood, counter with al

    Audrey's POVHe circled his fingers around my hand, his eyes locking mine in the darkness of the van. "Audrey, I promise you, our love is our armor. Michael will not win. I will protect you and Aiden, no matter what." His words were a rope to cling to, although I could see the tension lying deep within his eyes—a reflection of the storm brewing outside and within our hearts as well.We reached the extraction point—a very secure checkpoint on the city edge. The van came to a stop with a screech, and Lucas escorted me and Aiden out. In the open space, pandemonium broke out. Gun-wielding security guards hastened back and forth, and howls of approaching sirens commingled with the distant muted hum of urgency-filled radio transmissions. I eyed Lucas as we were taken through to an anteroom functioned as a security monitor post. His metal-hard face set in absolute resolve tinged with extreme concern and I both loved him and worried for him in equal measure. Our love will carry us through."I
