Cynthia Dear Readers, I’m trying something a little different, and I’d love to hear your thoughts after each chapter. So tell me… Do you think Rowan was right… or did he cross a line by speaking to Stephanie that way? I can’t wait to read your opinions!

The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 107 : Two Evenings
Dominic Sterling hadn’t moved from the chair outside the operating suite in over an hour. Someone had left a paper cup of coffee beside him. It was cold now. He hadn’t noticed. Doctors crossed the corridor. Nurses hurried past with charts tucked against their chests. Somewhere down the hall, a child laughed before being hushed by a worried mother. Life went on. His didn’t. His phone lit up again. Victor Reynolds. He stared at the screen until it stopped ringing. A second later, another call came through. His assistant. Then the board secretary. Then London. He switched the phone off. The company could wait. Nothing else could. The operating room doors swung open. Dr. Harrison walked out with two nurses close behind him, one carrying a clipboard. The doctor’s expression was calm. Too calm. “Mr. Sterling.” Dominic was already standing. Dr. Harrison didn’t waste time. “We can’t wait any longer.” The words landed with frightening clarity
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 106 : Hold On
The ambulance came to a stop beneath the emergency entrance. Before the rear doors had fully opened, Dominic was already climbing out. “Sir—” He ignored the protest, keeping pace with the stretcher as the paramedics rushed Laura through the sliding doors. Her face was pale. Too pale. The oxygen mask hid most of it, but he could still see how little she moved. “Thirty-four weeks,” one of the paramedics reported. “Collapsed at home. Blood pressure remained critically elevated during transport.” Dr. Harrison met them halfway down the corridor. His eyes swept over Laura once before turning to the monitor. “What was the last reading?” The paramedic answered. Harrison’s expression tightened. “When did the headaches begin?” Dominic didn’t have to think. “Three… maybe f
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 105 : A Step Forward
“Good evening, Mr. Whitmore.” “Good evening, Emma.” His voice was calm, unhurried. “I hope I’m not interrupting your evening.” “Not at all.” “Good. I’ll keep this brief. I wanted you to hear it from me before Monday’s meeting.” Emma slipped her notebook from her bag and uncapped a pen. “I’m listening.” Beside her, Rowan noticed the notebook and glanced over. Work mode. Alexander never called casually. “The board concluded its final review this afternoon,” Alexander said. “We’ve approved the U.S. expansion.” Emma’s pen stopped. “…The United States?” “Yes.” A genuine smile spread across her face. “Congratulations, Mr. Whitmore.” “Thank you.” “We’ve been working toward this for a long time. Mond
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 104 : A Simple Compromise
The next afternoon, Emma came out of the meeting, rolling her shoulders as she stepped into the quiet executive corridor. She had barely taken two steps when she found Rowan standing there. One shoulder rested against the wall, hands in his pockets, looking entirely too comfortable. Emma stopped. “Were you waiting for me?” He looked at his watch. “I’ve only been here…” He tilted his head. “Three minutes.” “You counted.” “I got bored.” She smiled. “You own an international company.” “And somehow all my work was less interesting than waiting for you.” Emma shook her head, walking past him. “That line would’ve worked on someone else.” “It worked on you.” “It absolutely didn’t.” “It made you smile.” “…That was unrelated.” “So you admit
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 103 : The Breaking Point
Laura Sterling hadn’t slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt the same wave of dizziness that had overtaken her the previous night. The pain had eased. The fear hadn’t. More than once, she had instinctively rested a hand over her stomach, waiting for reassurance that everything was alright. Every kick brought relief. Every moment of stillness brought fear. By morning, the headache had returned. Stronger. The Sterling mansion had always been known for its silence. A silence built on routine. Discipline. Control. Every member of the staff knew where they were supposed to be. Every meal arrived precisely on time. Every room remained immaculate. This morning— That silence shattered. A porcelain teacup crashed against the dining r
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 102 : In Full Bloom
Rowan Blackwood had never avoided a question before. That thought followed Emma all the way to her office. It lingered while she sorted through emails. While she reviewed contracts. While she attempted to read a report for the third time. Nothing seemed capable of distracting her from the fact that Rowan had deliberately changed the subject. It wasn’t the answer itself that bothered her. It was the avoidance. Rowan always answered. Sometimes honestly. Sometimes sarcastically. Sometimes in ways that made her want to throw a stapler at him. But he answered. Today he hadn’t. Emma sighed and closed the file in front of her. A knock sounded against the glass door. A smile immediately tugged at her lips. “Come in, Rowan.” The door opened.

Dominic did not sleep. He stood in his study long after Emma locked herself in the guest bedroom upstairs. The house was silent, but the silence was wrong. Too heavy. Too distant. For four years, this house had responded to her. Her perfume in the hallways. Her voice instructing st
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 5 : The File
Morning in the Sterling mansion did not arrive with sunlight. It arrived with silence. Emma woke to stillness so complete it felt curated. The curtains were half drawn, the light filtered into something pale and artificial. The air smelled faintly of Dominic Sterling’s cologne….dark, expensive,
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 4 : Mine
The hospital smelled like antiseptic and fear. Emma hated it. She went alone. She doesn’t have the energy to deal with him. The white walls. The hushed footsteps. The way nurses spoke softly, as if grief might be contagious. She sat on the edge of the examination bed, hands folded in her
The Rise From Betrayal Chapter 2 : After The Fall
The elevator doors closed. And Emma collapsed. Not dramatically. Not loudly. Just slowly ….like something inside her had unplugged. Her back hit the mirrored wall, and she slid down until she was crouched on the polished floor, heels digging into marble, sobs tearing out of her che
