The Unexpected Proposal The Secret Sabotage
CHAPTER 20: THE SECRET SABOTAGE Elizabeth's fingers hover over the keyboard while she scans the financial report again. Though they should line up, they do not. No matter how often she examines the calculations, something is lacking—a sizable amount of money—millions, precisely speaking. She narrows her attention by clicking across several spreadsheets. No apparent reason or evidence of any transaction could explain the difference.Her tummy contracts and a knot of worry is beginning to develop. This cannot be happening. Once more, running the figures, the outcome is the same: The funds vanished.The office feels too tiny at once, and the air is too heavy. She tries to steady her breath by swallowing. She is in over her level. This surpasses all she has ever handled.She takes out her phone and diples Simeon's number. Her thumb quakes as she holds it to her ear. It sounds as though it were a countdown. He picks up with a pleasant but businesslike voice. "What is it??"With her voice

CHAPTER 21: ELIZABETH IS ACCUSED Elizabeth walks into the conference room and looks about at her coworkers. One can sense the suspense in the air. It's something different than the typical office meeting talk. She hears bits of conversation and words that cause her blood to stop cold as she gets to the table. Her name is Amounts. Writings. Everything seems to point precisely to her.Heart thumping, she settles in and tries to put events together. Sliding a hefty file in front of her, the austere man in charge of security has a keen look. His voice cuts through the quiet. These are the reports. They show your signature on the transactions. How, then, would you explain this?Elizabeth looks down at the papers before her, and her fingers shake. The figures are negative. Her signature is there, straightforwardly. She did not, however, approve anything. She knows that she seems guilty from everyone in the room's perspective.She searches, but nobody catches her gaze. Standing in the corne

CHAPTER 22: SIMEON’S PAINFUL DECISION Simeon sees Elizabeth leave the room, her back straight despite the despair across her face. Behind her, the door closes with a finality that seems to last a lifetime. The meeting had finished minutes ago, and the board members scattered with hardly more than cursory looks at him. Their eyes brim with doubt and incredulation. He is the one who has to live with the choice, though.She has left. He sent her away, and he still doesn't know how it happened.His eyes stay on the door, the weight of her absence squarely pressing into his chest. He had meant to believe her. He wanted to stand with her always and believe her. Still, the data suggested another direction. And now, albeit unproven, the intense sting of treachery leaves a bad taste in his mouth.Simeon inhales sharply, his fingers squeezing around the armrest of his chair, nails biting into the leather. His hand shakes just a little. Though he dismisses it, he feels the vibration. He makes h
Last Updated : 2025-03-26The Unexpected Proposal Elizabeth’s HeartBeat
CHAPTER 23 ELIZABETH’s HEARTBEAT Elizabeth's automobile hums throughout the city, and the consistent engine rhythm provides little solace. The world outside blurs; shadows of buildings, flashes of light, and faces she will never see again all vanish into the distance. She cannot concentrate on anything except the terrible quiet within her. Simeon's words weigh on her chest like a stone. He left her behind. Once he trusted her, she was nowhere. Nothing except a blemish on the business he created, a name to clear from his life. Her hands shake against the wheel, and she grabs it tightly to help her to ground herself. But it serves no use. Tears are starting to flow here. Not yet; she will not let them drop. Not while she is still driving and acting as though she is in charge. Every street she drives feels like a personal insult, and every brake squeal reminds her of her failure. She thought of him as trustworthy. She came to believe in him. And he has completely erased her from his

CHAPTER 24: ALEX TRIES AGAIN.Elizabeth expects less, but the knock on the door echoes louder than she could have imagined, rattling the empty flat and squeezing her chest. She cannot understand this tightness. She pauses, peering at the door half-hopingly for anyone else but him. She does, however, know deep inside. Only one individual would be brave enough to turn up without an invitation. She inhales deeply and then opens it with her fingers, caressing the handle. He exists when the door swings open. Alexander. Like a force of nature, he stood there staring at her with the kind of will she had not seen in a long time. "I know you're angry," he adds, his voice quiet but firm. But Elizabeth, you need not be alone in this. We can cooperate. We can mend everything. His comments felt to her like a tsunami slamming on the coast. He presented her with the same proposition before, but this time, it was tinged with urgency, as he believed it more than ever. She looks at him for a minute
Last Updated : 2025-03-26The Unexpected Proposal Elizabeth’s Choice
CHAPTER 25: ELIZABETH’S CHOICE Elizabeth walks into her flat, and the door closes behind her. Everything seems colder and emptier than it did: the familiar smell of wood and leather, the faint echo of quiet. Her hands still shaking with the weight of her choice, she tosses her keys onto the kitchen counter. She inhales long and looks about the room. The place she previously occupied with aspirations, hopes, and the guy she believed she would create her future with now feels like an echo chamber. Her walls are not closing in on her, only the silence around her. The silence tastes different for the first time. Not feeling choked. Not excessive. It has the sensation of tranquillity. With her fingertips gliding across the couch, she settles down. Though unsure about the future, she is sure now is her moment. She selects herself at that moment, moving into a life she defines. She starts to dream of Simeon through the past. Everything she could have had if she had stayed in that environ

CHAPTER 26: SIMEON REGRETS HIS ACTIONS Eyes concentrated on the empty seat across from him, Simeon reclines in his leather chair. Elizabeth's place. Though it has been weeks, the hole she left behind runs across the workplace like a gaping wound. Though the solitude within is intolerable, the buzz of the city below penetrates through the windows. The board had decided upon something. No, he had agreed as well. He let her leave and signed the paperwork. Convinced himself, that was the only path. Still, the assurance that once felt so unquestionable has turned into doubt. His fingers hover over his phone. He could hear her voice once more, one tap. One word, and maybe just possibly, he could correct it. But what might he perhaps say? Reiter? I did something wrong. He runs a hand through his hair and exhales sharply. His pride struggles with the weight in his chest, a fight he loses every moment. His eye is drawn across his desk to a framed picture shot during last year's gala. Eliza

CHAPTER 27: ELIZABETH REBUILDSElizabeth enters her new workplace, and a warm ray of light from the oversized windows spills across the floor. Apart from the faint hum of the city below, the room is still. Her fingers quell as they sweep the desk's clean surface, a fresh start hovering before her like a road less traversed. She has only been here a few minutes, yet it feels like she walked out of the building where her aspirations were once dashed a lifetime ago. She has this chance. She gets both excitement and a chilly, gnawing anxiety just thinking about entering a realm of corporate power. She knows she has to keep on even if she is leaving behind everything known: Simeon, the treachery, the job that almost consumed her. Her former existence is a chapter ending without a resolution; now, she must write her own. The door opens, and her new supervisor walks in, grinning like someone who has already found her impressive. "Having you on board makes me happy, Elizabeth. Based on wha

The many challenges they had overcome appeared far-away memories, fading as they stood together, stronger than ever.Pride flooded her heart, and Elizabeth looked at Simeon.

The Unexpected Proposal New Legacy
CHAPTER 109: A New LegacyEverything they experienced left them with a burdensome and liberating weight. On the balcony of their new house, Elizabeth and Simeon stood together under the evening sun's golden warmth, which they had struggled for. It felt surreal, the long nights of anxiety, the fights fought in shadows, and now, all of it behind them.Elizabeth leaned on Simeon to let his presence warm her grounding. They had traveled quite far, and it felt improbable, yet they were standing in the middle of all they had hoped for.Elizabeth replied, her voice a whisper against the wind, "We have been through hell." Though straightforward, the phrases were rich with years of hardship, setbacks, and the unrelenting danger of losing everything. But suddenly, it was different. Though still unclear, their world was now again their own.As usual, Simeon held her hand tightly. He said, "We have survived." Now, we can create something enduring.They had the globe to mold.

The Unexpected Proposal Final Confrontation
CHAPTER 108: The Final Confrontation Every report, email, and information from the last several months was set out in front of her. They had sensed for weeks that something was amiss; now, the solid, undeniable evidence was just out of reach.Standing beside her, Simeon grimly poured over the most recent batch of financial reports. "There it is again," he said, turning the pages. A pattern. It's too tidy to be a coincidence.A chill ran down Elizabeth's back. They had been guarded and cautious, yet someone inside their walls was pulling invisible threads—a team member they had faith in. The idea turned in her belly.What are we lacking? Elizabeth whispered, running her fingertips over the edge of the paper, her head whirling.Simeon did not respond right away. Ather Instead, he picked up the phone and called. The second stretched into a lifetime as the ringing reverberated around the room. Elizabeth's breath caught in her throat. There was no turning back.Do you have it? Immeon enqu
The Unexpected Proposal Arrival
CHAPTER 107: The Arrival Apart from the gentle beeping of the machines and the low conversational murmur, the delivery room was quiet. Her hold on Simeon's hand was firm, and her breathing came in calm, regular intervals.The moment's weight pressed on her chest, but it wasn't the fear that formerly seized her; it was a feeling of anticipation that flooded her as she understood her life was about to change in the most lovely way.Simeon's expression was serene, but she noticed the tiny trembling in his palm squeezing hers. His gaze stayed on hers; for a brief moment, all else vanished into the backdrop. This was their start, their time.The doctor's words pierced the stillness. Okay, Elizabeth, we are nearly there. There is one more shove.Focusing, Elizabeth closed her eyes and pushed with all her might. Though the effort appeared unending, the room burst with live sounds. A gentle cry reverberated, and Elizabeth felt an emotional wave sweep her breast. It was a simple, genuine deli
The Unexpected Proposal Perfect Ending
CHAPTER 106: A Perfect Ending As Elizabeth stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her hands shook slightly. She looked at the plastic stick in her palm, and the modest, comfortable flat seemed even smaller today.Every second that passed made her heart race faster. Unaware of the world-changing news she was about to convey, Simeon was downstairs getting ready for dinner. The timer's gentle beep brought her back to reality. She gasped and then looked down at the test again. There it was, obvious as day.Pregent.Her heart quickened, and the room seemed too hot and chilly. Fighting the flood of feelings, she covered her mouth with her hand. Surviving betrayal, rebuilding everything, and healing from the scars of her former life with Alex had made the last few months the most difficult of her life. This was the beginning of something completely fresh, pure, and untainted by the turmoil of her past.Elizabeth? Are you all right there? From downstairs, Simeon cried out, full of worry.Sh
The Unexpected Proposal Life Reborn
CHAPTER 105: A Life Reborn Simeon stood next to her, his presence a calm comfort. Reaching for her hand, he grounded her with the usual warmth of his touch. They had suffered so much together and had emerged from the wreckage of what they once knew together."It can't define us," she said quietly, mostly to herself. What came before? Looking back won't help us.Gently squeezing her hand, Simeon turned to face her. Always so constant, his gaze softened as he approached. Elizabeth, I understand. But you are no longer alone yourself. Neither of us is.They had built something out of nothing—a fresh start, a fresh business. Now, they had to make it function. Every choice was pressed on their shoulders, and with every risk came a reward. But one thing was sure: they would battle for it together.With her eyes fixed, Elizabeth looked at him. We have endured a great deal. Yet, should we survive this, we can survive anything.Simeon's voice was strong and confident. You are correct. Elizabet
The Unexpected Proposal Rebuilding from Ruins
CHAPTER 104: Rebuilding from Ruins"I can't believe we're here," Elizabeth remarked, her gaze roving the strange horizon. The noise of the city below felt far away as if it belonged to someone else.Simeon stood next to her, his presence as constant as always. He had always been the one who could remain cool in the storm, but tonight, Elizabeth also noticed the fragility in his eyes. But we are here, Liz. We've survived everything; now it's just us.They had eluded Alex's faction's ongoing threats, the disarray, and the machinations. It was a fresh chapter they had never thought they would get to compose.Is it sufficient? Elizabeth enquired, her voice hardly whispering, the doubt seeping in. She didn't have to say anything more. Simeon was aware. They both knew that after all they had experienced, it was about physical safety, finding tranquility, and regaining confidence.Simeon looked at her, his powerful, unyielding gaze meeting with hers. Elizabeth, we can make it happen. We are
The Unexpected Proposal Unknown
CHAPTER 103: Facing the Unknown Simeon walked the length of the office, his head spinning with planning and calculations. Time was running out; with Olivia's discovery, events were moving more quickly than expected. The existence of a traitor still loyal to Alex was more than simply a danger; it was a ticking time bomb that might destroy all they had constructed.Elizabeth observed him, aware that the gravity of the circumstance was equally as great on his shoulders as hers. They had traveled so far, yet every stride forward seemed to draw them further into a web of lies and peril.Simeon turned to look at her, his face tight with need, "We can't afford to wait any longer." Every second we put off increases our danger of losing all.Elizabeth nodded, her thoughts racing over their choices. Olivia had provided them a lead, but it wasn't sufficient. They required extra. They must know who is still active and what they can do.She added, her voice calm but tinged with the yearning she e
The Unexpected Proposal Setting the Past
CHAPTER 102: Setting the Past Turning to Simeon, who had been reading the most recent corporate report beside the fireplace, she Saw her motions tense, so he set it down.Standing up and approaching her, he inquired, "What is it?""It's Clara," Elizabeth responded her voice tight. He wishes to see her, and she says there's something I should know.Simeon grimaced, his eyes betraying a hint of worry. Are you sure you want to go back to this? You've toiled so much to escape that universe.Elizabeth hesitated, looking out the window. The tranquility of the evening stood in sharp contrast to the tempest inside her. She had gone so far and created so much, yet a persistent thought lingered in the rear of her mind. Though unclear, Clara's comments had disturbed her.The uncompleted task. Alex's ongoing impact. What if this was a component of the puzzle still endangering all she had toiled for?"I have to know," she said, mostly to herself rather than Simeon. Any loose threads I can't leave
