登入Genevieve's POV "There hasn't been any major public incident since the lunch meeting with Mr. Adams." I paused. "That's strange, Dennis that I know would have launched another attack by now” "His legal team has been working aggressively behind the scenes to resolve the frozen accounts, but government investigators are still reviewing several financial records." I nodded thoughtfully. "And the media?" "They're still covering the investigation almost daily." She hesitated before continuing. "Most shareholders are remaining quiet publicly, but internally there's growing concern.” I remained silent for a few moments, slowly tapping my pen against the polished mahogany desk. "Dennis has gone quiet," I said at last. "And that's exactly what bothers me." Marissa nodded in agreement. "I had the same thought, ma'am." "Dennis doesn't stay quiet unless he's planning something bigger. Every move he makes serves a purpose. If he isn't attacking publicly, then he's rebuilding his po

Gabrielle's POV I walked into Lennox Global with a smile I hadn't worn in days.For the first time since everything happened with Dennis, the court case and my forced absence from work, I finally felt like myself again.The familiar sight of employees moving briskly across the lobby, the sound of elevator chimes and the quiet buzz of conversations somehow soothed me.I had missed this place.The receptionist was the first to notice me."Good morning, Mrs. Adams!”Almost immediately, several employees turned in my direction."Welcome back, ma'am!""It's good to have you back!""We've missed you."I smiled warmly at everyone as I made my way toward the executive elevator."Thank you. I've missed all of you too."The elevator doors opened onto the executive floor, and before I could take two steps, someone came running toward me."Mrs. Adams!"Marissa.She threw her arms around me without the slightest hesitation.I laughed as I hugged her back."Easy there."She pulled away almost imme
Genevieve's POV Patricia reached for her glass of orange juice and took a satisfied sip before looking at me over the rim of the glass."So..." she said with a knowing smile. "When are you finally resuming work?""Tomorrow."Her face lit up immediately."Finally! I was beginning to think your husband had permanently confiscated your office.”I laughed, shaking my head."You have no idea how difficult it was convincing him.""I can imagine."I leaned back against the sofa with an amused sigh."Norman can be unbelievably stubborn when he thinks he's protecting someone. Every time I brought up work, he'd remind me that my health came first and the company could survive a few more days without me.”Patricia chuckled."He's not wrong.""I know he isn't," I admitted. "But try explaining that to someone who has an entire company waiting for her. I practically had to negotiate like I was closing a billion-dollar acquisition before he finally agreed to let me resume tomorrow.""And what final
Genevieve's POV The final document slid neatly into its folder, and I leaned back in my chair with a satisfied sigh.Finally.For the first time in what felt like forever, my desk no longer looked like a disaster zone.Stacks of contracts had been reviewed, emails had been answered and tomorrow's schedule had been reorganized at least three different times. Since I was finally returning to the office after days away, I wanted everything to run as smoothly as possible.Convincing Norman to let me resume work had been an uphill battle.If there was one thing I'd learned about my husband over the past few weeks, it was that once he made up his mind, changing it required nothing short of a miracle.He'd insisted I needed more rest.I'd insisted the company needed me.He'd reminded me that capable executives existed for a reason.I'd reminded him that I happened to be the CEO..Round and round we'd gone until he'd finally, and very reluctantly, agreed that I could return.Even then, he h
Dennis's POV The drive home felt unusually quiet.For the first time in days, I wasn't rehearsing another argument in my head.I was tired..Tired of the shouting and constant tension.Most of all, I was tired of coming home to a marriage that felt more like a battlefield than a home.As I stepped out of the car, I glanced at the small velvet gift bag resting on the passenger seat before picking it up.Inside was the limited-edition diamond necklace Nadia had admired weeks ago while scrolling through luxury jewelry online.She hadn't outright asked for it, but she'd made enough comments that I'd gotten the message..Maybe this would smooth things over and we'd finally stop fighting.By the time I reached our bedroom, she was seated before the vanity, absently brushing her hair.She didn't even look up when I entered.I cleared my throat."Baby..."Still nothing.I walked closer and placed the gift bag on the table beside her."I'm tired of fighting."That finally earned me a glance.
Nora 's POV Dennis didn’t even wait for me to process what was happening.“You heard her,” he said flatly, his voice leaving no room for argument. “Go do it.”I stood there frozen, staring at him, waiting for even a flicker of hesitation, but there was nothing.Nadia leaned into him dramatically,
Nora's POV We came straight home after the gala, the four of us, still buzzing with adrenaline from the nightPatricia pulled me into a tight hug the moment we walked through the door."I'm so proud of you," she said. "Girl, you did that. The way you spoke to both of them, the slap, the divorce pa
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
