Bernard POV

I stared at my bank account balance on my phone screen for the tenth time in five minutes, still unable to believe the numbers were real. Two million dollars. Actually sitting in my business account. After months of being broke, humiliated, and desperate, I finally had more money than I had ever seen at one time.

The transfer had happened exactly as the Fernandez Real Estate representatives had promised. Twenty-four hours after signing the investment contracts, the funds appeared in my account like a miracle from heaven.

I was sitting in my office, which no longer felt like the pathetic headquarters of a failing business. Now it felt like the command center of a company that was about to make a spectacular comeback. The stack of unpaid bills on my desk would be cleared by the end of the week. The creditors who had been threatening to sue me would be paid in full. My landlord would get his three months of back rent, plus enough extra to cover the next year.

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 55

    Vanya POVI walked into Bernard's office wearing my most powerful business suit - a navy blue Armani that made me feel like I could conquer the world. James Davidson, Richmond's business manager, had briefed me on exactly how to handle this moment, but nothing could have prepared me for the look of absolute shock and horror on Bernard's face when he saw me."Hello, Bernard," I said calmly, sitting down in the chair across from his desk like I was attending any other business meeting. "I believe we need to discuss the future of your company."Bernard's mouth was opening and closing like a fish out of water. His face had gone completely pale, and I could see his hands trembling as he gripped the edge of his desk."This... this can't be real," he stammered. "You can't be the investor. You don't have that kind of money.""Actually, I do," I said, pulling out the signed contracts and placing them on his desk. "As of yesterday, I own fifty-one percent of Fredrick Construction through my hol

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 53

    Vanya POVI was sitting in my office reviewing designs for the New York Fashion Week collection when Marcus called with an unusual request."Vanya, I need you to come to my office this afternoon," he said, his voice sounding more serious than usual. "There's a business opportunity that requires your immediate attention.""What kind of opportunity?" I asked, setting down my sketching pencil."It's complicated, and I'd rather explain it in person," Marcus replied. "But it involves a potential investment that could significantly expand your business portfolio beyond jewelry."I was intrigued. Since winning the Chamber of Commerce award, several investment opportunities had come my way, but Marcus had never sounded this urgent about any of them."Can you give me any details over the phone?" I pressed."Not really," Marcus said. "But I will say that this opportunity has the potential to be either very profitable or very satisfying, depending on how you choose to approach it."The way he s

    Richmond POVI watched through the one-way glass of the observation room as Bernard signed the contracts that would transfer majority control of his company to Vanya. He had no idea that behind the sophisticated conference room performance, I was pulling every string, orchestrating the perfect revenge for the woman I loved."Excellent work, gentlemen," I said quietly to Davidson and Chen, my two most trusted business managers. "Bernard fell for it completely.""The RV Holdings subsidiary was a brilliant touch, sir," Davidson replied. "It gives Ms. Reed complete legal ownership while maintaining plausible deniability about your involvement."I had spent weeks planning this elaborate deception. Bernard's desperate email to Fernandez Real Estate had been the perfect opportunity to trap him in his own greed and stupidity. Now, instead of destroying Vanya's business, he had just handed his own company over to her on a silver platter."Phase one is complete," I told my team. "Bernard now ow

    Bernard POVI sat in my truck outside the gleaming glass tower that housed Fernandez Real Estate, trying to calm my nerves and rehearse what I was going to say in the most important meeting of my life. This was it - my last chance to save everything. My business, my relationship with Tracy, my entire future depended on the next hour.Three days had passed since Tracy's public meltdown at our engagement party, and she hadn't spoken to me since. She was staying at her sister's house and refusing to answer my calls. The humiliation of that night still burned in my chest every time I thought about it. All our friends and family had witnessed Tracy screaming about how pathetic we were compared to Vanya's success.But today was going to change everything. Today, Fernandez Real Estate was going to invest in Fredrick Construction, and I would finally have the money and backing I needed to destroy Vanya's business once and for all.I walked into the lobby of the building, my shoes clicking on

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 50

    Tracy POVI stood in the middle of our engagement party, wearing the most expensive dress I had ever owned, and I wanted to scream. This was supposed to be my night. This was supposed to be the party where everyone celebrated Bernard and me, where all our friends saw how happy and successful we were together.Instead, every conversation I overheard was about Vanya Reed and her stupid jewelry business."Did you see that Goddess Jewelry won Best New Business at the Chamber of Commerce awards?" one woman was saying near the champagne table."I heard she's going to be in New York Fashion Week," another replied. "Can you imagine? From housewife to fashion week in six months!"I gripped my champagne glass so tightly I was surprised it didn't shatter in my hand. This was exactly what I had been afraid would happen. Even at my own engagement party, Vanya was still the center of attention.The party was being held at the Country Club ballroom, and it had cost us twenty-five thousand dollars th
