“You look like a person who’s already won and only needs to wait for the other players to recognize this.” And she moved even closer, so close that the warmth of his body burned through the flimsy material of the shirt she was still wearing. “It should scare me. It does not scare me. It makes me want to be closer.”Derrick’s hand slip

“I look like a woman who finally stopped settling,” she answered, voice calm. “You look like a man who is about to learn the difference.”Liam’s mouth twisted. “Still performing for him, I see. Tell me, does he know how good you are at pretending? How many years you spent smiling while you counted pennies so I could look successful? Or has he already decided you’re only useful until the acquisition closes?”Derrick’s voice cut through the space between them, quiet and deadly.“You have approximately thirty seconds to walk away before I make the remainder of your evening significantly more painful than it needs to be, Hartley. Choose wisely.”Liam laughed, low and ugly. “You think you’ve won. You think putting a ring on her finger and parading her through rooms like this erases the fact that she spent five years on her knees for me—figuratively and otherwise. She was convenient. Sh

It seemed like the beginning of all things important.It was quiet in the penthouse when they came back; the kind of quiet which had been rightfully earned.She took off her heels the moment they got in. The dress clung to her body in a soft whisper of black silk as she walked around the room, the warmth of the club, the look on Liam’s broken face, the look on Derrick’s face which told her she had rewritten the laws of war for him, still lingering in the air. She felt lighter yet heavier in certain ways. It was as though the last tie between her and the girl waiting for forever had been cut right in front of all those men with power.Derrick didn’t turn on any lights. No, he just followed her into the living room, took off his jacket, and poured himself two fingers of whiskey he didn’t drink. Finally speaking up, he let out a deep and gruff sound, free from any traces of the boardroom.“You were lethal tonight.”She turned

The silence between them hung heavy with meaning, as he paused to let the words take hold, slowly and poisons-like.“And touch her name one more time,” Derrick said softly, so that the menace of his voice was now intimate, final, “and I guarantee you’ll be digging yourself into a hole in this town that no amount of pretending on the part of your parents is going to change, until eventually, even they stop thinking you exist. Understand me, Hartley? Or should I show you?”Liam’s throat moved. There was fear in his eyes for the first time since Rica had met him during the five years they had been waking up together and having quiet evenings together.He opened and shut his mouth before turning on his heel and leaving without a word. The junior partners sitting at the bar did their best not to observe him walking out of there. The whispering of the nightclub gradually picked up again, but the air between Rica and Derrick changed.

He raised his gaze to meet hers, the winter water in his eyes growing dark. “How about my appearance?”“You look like a person who’s already won and only needs to wait for the other players to recognize this.” And she moved even closer, so close that the warmth of his body burned through the flimsy material of the shirt she was still wearing. “It should scare me. It does not scare me. It makes me want to be closer.”Derrick’s hand slipped down from her back to her waist and brought her closer to himself. “Then be closer. Tonight you will stay at my side without leaving it even for a second. Hartley will search for weakness. Marcus will search for distance. Neither will find anything.”By late afternoon the tension in the penthouse had become something almost tangible, an entity that lurked and thrived with each and every whispered conversation.Rica was standing in front of the full-length mirror in the

With a gesture she brought her hand to his hard jawline. "And once the fire’s done burning down? When both of them are ash what then, Derrick? Do we still get together with new papers? Or are they burned down as well?"His gaze held hers for some time without breaking away. Then his hand slid down from her hair and came to rest on her neck, right above her rapidly beating pulse."Once the fire burns down," he said with an absolute conviction in his voice, "I’ll be keeping you. No papers needed. No expiry date. No easy way out. You’ll be the one thing that’s not a game in my life, not a weapon or a tool or leverage. You will be the one reason why I don’t look back over my shoulder."His admission was thrown between them like live electric current.Some part of Rica broke within her heart, irrevocably. And she moved closer so their mouths touched.“We stop watching our backs together from tomorrow night onwards,” she breathed out.Again, Derrick’s hold on her got tighter, pinning her ag

“Tomorrow night,” he said finally, voice still rough, “we walk into that club together. You will wear the black dress that makes every man forget how to speak. You will keep your hand on my arm like you have every right to be there. And when Hartley looks at you, I want him to see exactly what he threw away and exactly who caught it.”Rica lifted her head. “And if he tries to speak to me?”“Then you look him in the eye and tell him the truth.” Derrick’s gaze hardened into something lethal. “Tell him the woman he discarded no longer exists. Tell him the woman who remains belongs to someone who knows how to keep what is his. And if he so much as reaches for you, I will end the conversation permanently.”A shiver ran through her that had nothing to do with fear. “You’re possessive.”“I warned you.” His thumb brushed her lower lip. “I do not share. I do not forgive. And I do not leave unfinished business for the next man. Hartley is unfinished business. Marcus is unfinished business. By t
