LOGINGenevieve's POV The moment I stepped into the Lennox boardroom, I knew something was wrong.The atmosphere was far too tense for an ordinary meeting. The directors were already seated around the long table, their expressions unusually serious, while Marissa stood near the window with her tablet pressed against her chest.I looked around the room before taking my seat."What is going on?"The chairman cleared his throat and exchanged a brief glance with the other directors."Genevieve, please sit down. There is something we need to discuss with you."I pulled out my chair and sat, but I didn't take my eyes off him.He slid a document across the table.I looked down at it.The official Lennox letterhead stared back at me."What is this?"The chairman folded his hands together."The board has reached a decision concerning your position as chief executive."My heart immediately sank."What decision?"One of the directors spoke carefully."We believe it would be in the company's best inte
Genevieve's POVThe fatigue had become harder to ignore.At first, I blamed it on everything that had happened over the past few weeks. The argument with Norman, his accident, the emotional weight of finally learning the truth about his past and the endless meetings with his lawyers had left me exhausted.But lately, even the smallest things drained me.Walking from the bedroom to the living room could leave me breathless. Standing in the kitchen for a few minutes made my legs feel weak, and there were moments when I would sit down simply because my body seemed to be demanding it.The surgery was getting closer.Perhaps my body knew it before my mind was willing to accept it.That morning, I had barely finished breakfast when I pushed my plate away and leaned back against the chair.Norman immediately noticed.“You're tired again.”I looked at him.“I've been tired for years, Norman.”“That doesn't mean I have to like watching it happen.”He reached across the table and took my hand.
Dennis's POVI knew Nadia was jealous.I could see it in the way her expression changed whenever my phone rang, in the way she suddenly became interested in where I was going and who I was meeting, and especially in the way she pretended not to care whenever I mentioned another woman's name.It was almost amusing.For months, Nadia had been playing me like a fool, walking around this house with that innocent expression while secretly meeting Jason and plotting my downfall. She had convinced herself that I was too blinded by my feelings to notice what was happening under my own roof.She had been wrong.Now that I knew the truth, I found myself enjoying the little moments when I could remind her that I knew.One evening, I deliberately left my phone on the dining table while I stepped away to take a shower.When I returned, Nadia was sitting across from me, eating quietly.I picked up the phone and glanced at the screen.“She wants to see me tomorrow.”Nadia's fork stopped halfway to
Nadia’s POVSomething had changed about Dennis.I noticed it before I had any proof, before I knew there was another woman, and before I understood exactly what was happening between us.He was simply different.Whenever we were around other people, Dennis still played the devoted husband perfectly. He placed a protective hand over my stomach when photographers were nearby, asked whether I was comfortable, and reminded everyone that his pregnant wife needed to rest. At business dinners, he would pull out my chair and make sure the staff brought me whatever I wanted.To anyone watching us from the outside, our marriage looked intact.Privately, however, Dennis had become distant.He no longer asked how I was feeling unless someone else was listening. He stopped coming into my room at night, and when we happened to be in the same room, his attention remained on his phone, his work or whatever else could keep him from looking at me.Even his voice had changed.There was no anger in it an
Dennis’s POVI laughed the moment my lawyer finished speaking.Not because there was anything particularly funny about the situation, but because Norman apparently believed he had finally found a way to frighten me.“He’s investigating your involvement in his childhood,” my lawyer repeated, watching me carefully from across the table. “His legal team has apparently started digging into old government and institutional records. They believe there may have been irregularities surrounding his placement in the orphanage.”I leaned back in my chair and smiled.“So that is what he has?”“That appears to be the direction they are taking.”I laughed again, louder this time.Norman was looking into my past, when he barely understood his own.That was almost amusing.For years, I had watched people destroy themselves because they became too confident after discovering one small piece of information. Norman had apparently fallen into the same trap. He had found something suspicious, perhaps an
Genevieve’s POVThe first legal strategy meeting began before noon, and by the time I walked into the conference room, I already knew I was going to have to fight to be taken seriously.Norman was still recovering at home, so his lawyers had arranged the meeting without requiring him to attend. His doctors had insisted that he rest, and for once, I agreed with them. After everything that had happened, he needed time to recover without spending every waking hour worrying about Dennis.I, however, had no intention of sitting at home and waiting for the legal team to handle everything without me.This wasn't only Norman's fight.Dennis had made me part of this war a long time ago.I took the seat beside Norman's lead attorney and placed my phone on the table.“I want to be involved in every major decision.”The lawyer looked at me carefully.“Mrs. Sinclair, we understand your position, but this is primarily a case concerning your husband's company and his personal history.”“I know.”“Th
Nora 's POV “No,” I said, wiping at my tears with trembling fingers. “No… this is insane.”An hysterical laugh burst out of me, tears rolling down my cheeks as I shook my head.“This is a prank, right?” I looked from Dennis to Nadia, desperately searching their faces.I swallowed hard, my chest r
Nora 's POV The sound of a woman moaning in pleasure greeted me the moment I opened my bedroom door.At first, my mind refused to understand what I was hearing.I had spent the entire afternoon rushing through work so I could surprise my husband with dinner for our fifth year anniversary.My husba
Nora 's POV For a second, I just stared at him, then I laughed not because it was funny, but because it had to be a lie.“Stop playing,” I said sharply. “There is no way you’re a CEO of Monarch Technology”His brow lifted.“That company is worth trillions,” I continued, my voice rising slightly. “
Nora 's POV Never in my life did I think I would wake up to the realization that someone had thrown me off a six-story building… and I was still somehow alive.Sharp pain slammed into me the moment I opened my eyes, and I winced instantly, squeezing them shut again.“Okay… nope,” I whispered weakl
