The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 29 “That’s a Story for Another Day”
Clara’s POV. Julian stood at the door for a long moment, his hand still resting on the handle. I watched his back, waiting for him to say or do something. The silence stretched until my chest started to feel tight. Then he opened the door with a soft hiss.A small wave of disappointment settled in my chest. Of course he was leaving. What did I expect?I lowered my eyes to the tea in my hands and forced myself to take another sip. A second later, I heard the door click shut.Footsteps echoed back across the suite.My head snapped up.Julian was walking toward me.He stopped at the foot of the bed, one hand slipping back into his pocket. His expression had settled into its usual calm, but there was something softer behind it now.“I can stay for twenty minutes,” he said.For a second, I just stared at him, making sure I’d heard him right.A quiet smile found its way onto my face before I could stop it.“Please sit,” I said softly.He almost smiled back. Almost. Then he moved to the cha
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 28 “Can You Stay?”
Clara’s POV. First all I could see was darkness. Then a dull, heavy throb pulsed behind my eyes, like someone was slowly tightening a screw inside my skull. I tried to swallow, but my throat felt dry. Something soft pressed against my cheek. A pillow. I heard faint sounds around me. Soft tapping, like someone’s fingers on a phone screen. Then the distant sounds of passing cars and the occasional honk. I blinked once. The ceiling swam into view, blurry and too bright. I blinked again. The lights dimmed a little. Shapes started to form. A lamp. Curtains. The edge of a table. I was lying on a bed. My heart skipped. I turned my head slowly. The movement made the headache flare. And then I saw him. Julian stood at the foot of the bed. One hand tucked into his pocket. The other tapping away on his phone. His face was completely still, his eyes fixed on the screen. “What the hell…” I whispered under my breath. The words came out a little louder than I’d meant them to. T
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 27 : “Why Didn’t You Tell Me?”
Clara’s POV The boardroom doors closed with a soft, final click. Diva and Mich were gone. Julian remained seated for a long moment, his eyes fixed on the empty doorway as if he could still see them walking away. Mich hadn’t looked back once. Diva hadn’t either. Julian’s face gave nothing away, but I knew that look. He was calculating, silently turning pieces over in his mind. Then his gaze turned to me. The air conditioner hummed softly overhead, yet a thin line of sweat traced its way down my spine. Another beaded at my forehead. I shifted slightly in my chair, but he didn’t even blink. His expression wasn’t angry or cold. It was simply Julian Cross. Unreadable. Calculating. Like he was trying to solve another puzzle, and somehow that puzzle was me. The thought alone made my stomach twist. Then his attention dropped to the cream-colored envelope still resting on the table. The air between us felt so thick I thought I might just end up having a panic attack. “Pick u
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 26 : “Project Genesis”
Clara’s POV. I followed Julian into the long conference room, my heels quiet against the thick carpet. At the center of the room stood an enormous mahogany table, its rich, polished surface gleaming beneath the recessed lights. It looked as though it had been carved from a single piece of wood, large enough to seat at least twenty people. Although only a few chairs had been arranged around it. Julian pulled out a chair for me like a gentleman, and I sat beside him without thinking twice. His hand brushed lightly against my shoulder before he took his own seat, solid and composed, as always. Then I let my eyes move slowly around the conference table. Several faces looked familiar, or at least the ones I remembered from the gala. A goofy-looking silver-haired man I’d seen laughing a little too loudly near the bar that day. A woman in a sharply tailored red suit who had commanded a small circle of guests near the ballroom entrance. And a few others. As I took in the faces, my
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 25: “There are Camera’s Everywhere”
Clara’s POV.Fifty-three minutes of pure, frantic chaos later, I was practically flying out of my suite.I rushed down to the lobby, every step of my new Christian Louboutin heels echoing off the polished marble floors like the final seconds of a countdown. My heart was still racing, partly from the lingering shock of my father’s video, but mostly because I refused to give Julian Cross the satisfaction of leaving me behind"Good day to you, Madam. Splendid morning for it," the receptionist murmured as I blurred past the front desk.“Cheerio, Madam, have a lovely afternoon,” another staff member chimed in from the concierge desk, sounding so ridiculously funny it almost made me laugh.I didn’t even have the breath to reply. I managed a quick, breathless nod as I neared the entrance. The massive glass doors slid open with a seamless pneumatic hiss, welcoming me into the gray London air.The black Rolls-Royce Cullinan was already waiting at the front of the hotel.Before I could even r
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 24 : “Sixty Minutes.”
Clara’s POV. I had gotten an email from the hospital. The notification glowed on my screen like a warning: Hospital Update for Mr. Sterling. A video file was attached. My heartbeat kicked into a frantic rhythm as my mind raced through a million different thoughts all at once. They usually sent text updates. Why did this one have a video attached to it? A heavy knot tightened in my stomach as my phone suddenly felt too heavy in my hand. I stared at the preview thumbnail of the video for a long moment. All I could make out were white sheets and the faint outline of the hospital bed. My thumb hovered over the screen for a moment, trembling slightly as I completely ignored the rest of the message. I squeezed my eyes shut, tilting my head up. “Please let him be…” I whispered into the quiet room, afraid to finish the sentence even in my own head. Then I tapped play. As the video began to play, I noticed it was short, only about eight seconds long. At first, nothing happened. J
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 4: Sweet Dreams, Fake Wife
Morning light cut through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Julian Cross’s penthouse like a cold warning.I woke up tangled in black silk sheets that smelled like him—warm amber, agarwood, and a dangerous kind of masculinity that clung to my skin. My body still carried the ache from the night before.
The Ghost Of Wall Street : Twisted Vows Chapter 3: Under Me
The passenger door of the Rolls-Royce clicked open. Standing on the wet curb, I looked at the dark leather interior before stepping inside. My wet dress felt heavy against my neck. “I need to go to my apartment first,” I said, squeezing a handful of wet hair over the curb. “I need to pack my things

“I won’t repeat myself, Vivian. You have sixty seconds to pull it out yourself. If I have to call my security team in here, they’ll do it for you.” “And trust me, they won’t be gentle.” “Sir, please,” I whispered, my voice weaker than I intended. “You’re making a mistake. I’ve done nothing wrong.”

The line went dead. Only the cold, automated hum of the dial tone ecohing in my ear.Slow poisoning. Over months. A stroke that did not happen naturally.The phone slipped in my trembling fingers.My eyes snapped across the master suite toward the closet doors where Julian had disappeared moments ea
