The call ended. Wren placed her phone beside the invitation and sat back in her chair. For several seconds she did nothing. Then she opened the document again. There was one page she had not studied closely enough. The final section. The authority attached to her proposed position.

She read it once. Then again. A smile touched the corner of her mouth. They had given her exactly what she needed. She picked up her pen and circled three paragraphs.

"Creative appointments."

"Internal access."

  • The Dead Bride's Revenge   The Office That Belonged to a Dead Woman

    The office was larger than Wren expected, although size had never been something she cared about. It had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, a dark wooden desk positioned directly in front of them, two leather chairs near the wall and a small sitting area that looked as though nobody had ever actually sat there. Everything was expensive without trying too hard to look expensive. A bottle of champagne waited on the desk beside a folder containing her new access credentials, and a small brass plaque had already been fixed outside the door with her name engraved across it. WREN CALLOWAY. She stared at it for several seconds before walking inside.Lucian followed her. "You hate it." "I didn't say that." "You've been standing in the doorway for thirty seconds.""I was reading.""You were glaring."Wren looked at him. "There's a difference.""Not with you."She walked toward the desk and placed her handbag beside the champagne. "The office is fine." Lucian looked around. "You're

  • The Dead Bride's Revenge   The Woman They Didn't Recognise

    The car stopped outside Wrexley Headquarters at exactly ten minutes before ten, and Wren stayed where she was for a moment after the driver opened her door. She had seen the building in photographs. She had seen it from across the street during the years when returning here had been nothing more than a plan she kept to herself. None of those photographs had prepared her for the sight of it in person. The glass front was still the same. The stone entrance was still the same. Even the tall silver letters fixed above the doors looked untouched, as though three years had passed for everyone except this building.Lucian stepped out first. Nwren followed. She adjusted the cuff of her jacket and looked up."Still want to do this?" Lucian asked.She gave him a brief look. "You ask that every time.""And you keep coming.""I like consistency."His mouth twitched."You also like making my life difficult.""I've been told."They walked toward the entrance. Wren could hear the sound of her heels

  • The Dead Bride's Revenge   Welcome Back, Mira

    The private jet touched down shortly after nine in the morning, and by the time Wren unfastened her seat belt, her phone had already begun to vibrate—once, then again, then three times in quick succession. She didn’t need to look at the screen to know what awaited her. Her legal team would have been first, followed by her assistant, and then someone from Calloway’s European office. The pattern was always the same. News moved faster than intention, and the moment the aircraft had entered the city’s airspace, someone, somewhere, had noticed.Private arrivals rarely stayed private when the person stepping off the plane was Wren Calloway. Lucian stood before her and held out his hand. “Ready?”Wren looked at it for a moment, expression unreadable. “No.”He nodded once, as if that answer was the only one he had expected. “Good answer.”She took his hand anyway and rose.The private terminal was meant to shield them from the press, but it had already failed. Cameras waited beyond the securi

  • The Dead Bride's Revenge   The Return Home

    The airport was almost empty when Wren arrived.It was the kind of place that existed for people who preferred not to be noticed. No families dragging suitcases behind them. No children running ahead of exhausted parents. No long queues beneath bright departure boards. A few airport workers moved through the terminal with the quiet efficiency of people who had seen enough early mornings to stop caring what time it was.Wren walked beside Lucian without saying anything.Her coat was buttoned to the throat. Her hair was pulled back. She carried one small leather bag in her left hand and nothing else.The rest had already been sent ahead.Lucian looked at her once as they passed through the private entrance. "You didn't sleep."She kept walking. "Neither did you."He glanced at her. "I slept.""No.""I closed my eyes.""That isn't sleeping.""It was enough."She gave him a look. "It wasn't."For the first time that morning, his mouth moved slightly. Almost a smile. "You sound tired.""I

    The call ended. Wren placed her phone beside the invitation and sat back in her chair. For several seconds she did nothing. Then she opened the document again. There was one page she had not studied closely enough. The final section. The authority attached to her proposed position.She read it once. Then again. A smile touched the corner of her mouth. They had given her exactly what she needed. She picked up her pen and circled three paragraphs."Creative appointments.""Internal access.""Executive reporting."Those three sections mattered more than the salary. She reached for her laptop. The first file she opened contained everything Calloway had gathered on Wrexley Group during the past eighteen months.Corporate structure. Subsidiaries. Board members. Acquisitions. Charitable foundations. Private holdings. Legal disputes. Nothing had been left to chance. She added one new folder.WREXLEY.Then she created another inside it.ACCESS.She stared at the empty folder for a moment. Soon

  • The Dead Bride's Revenge   The Woman Behind the Curtain

    The envelope arrived in Geneva on a Tuesday morning. Wren was halfway through a meeting with Henri when Lucian placed it on the table between them. He did not sit down. He simply pushed the envelope forward with two fingers and waited.She looked at the crest first. Wrexley Group. Her hand stopped above the paper. Henri noticed. Of course he noticed. The man noticed everything, including when she used too much bergamot and when she lied about being tired."That's them," he said.Wren picked up the envelope."Yes."Henri leaned back in his chair. "Are you going to open it?""I already know what's inside.""Then why are you staring at it?""Because I've spent three years imagining this moment."Henri's expression changed slightly. He said nothing. Wren opened the envelope with the small silver knife beside her notebook. She removed the documents and laid them across the table. The first page carried Wrexley's letterhead. The second contained the formal offer. The third outlined the posi
