LOGINEmma Sterling believed she understood power. She lived beside it. Slept beside it. Loved it.

Until the night she walked into a hotel suite and found her husband in bed with her best friend, her childhood friend, friends since kindergarten. The betrayal destroys everything Emma thought was real. But Dominic does not beg forgiveness. He refuses to let her leave.

Dominic’s obsession grows , Emma was pregnant with his heir. Possessive, controlling, and dangerously unwilling to lose what he considers his, he tightens his grip on every part of her life …emotionally, financially, and socially.
View MoreEmma Laurent had changed outfits four times already. Which was absurd. She knew it was absurd. And yet somehow she still stood in front of her bedroom mirror staring critically at a black dress she had previously loved thirty minutes ago. Now it suddenly looked too formal. Before that, the green one had looked too soft. The blue one had apparently made her resemble “someone attending a diplomatic funeral.” According to Maya. Who was currently laughing at her through video call alongside Stephanie. “You changed again,” Maya accused immediately. Emma adjusted the sleeve of her dress defensively. “I’m refining options.” “You’re panicking,” Stephanie corrected calmly from the other side of the screen. Emma narrowed her eyes. “I invited neither of you into this emotio
Rain slid steadily across the glass walls of the conference room while Emma stared at the illuminated skyline beyond Blackwoods Holdings. Most of the executive floor had emptied over an hour ago. Only scattered office lights remained now, glowing softly across the building while assistants somewhere down the corridor finished reports that probably should have waited until morning.

They had simply ended negotiations and transferred the partnership to Blackwoods Holdings as though Sterling Global no longer deserved consideration. Cold blue market projections glowed across the conference room screens while executives sat rigidly around the table
Dominic Sterling had lost Whitmore. The realization settled over the Sterling Global boardroom like smoke after an explosion. Heavy. Impossible to ignore. Nobody spoke immediately after the call disconnected. The massive projection screen still displayed the Whitmore Industries insignia against a dark background while executives sat frozen around the conference table pretending not to look directly at Dominic Sterling. Because everyone in the room understood what had just happened. Whitmore hadn’t negotiated. Hadn’t argued. Hadn’t even entertained discussion. They had simply left.
