    ~ Nathan ~I stood in the cold rain outside the private medical foundation building, holding a thick brown folder close to my chest.My wool coat was completely soaked. The cold water dripping down my neck was nothing compared to the sharp, ugly ache inside my heart.Earlier today, my private investigator had handed me a medical update about Leo, Isabella’s younger brother. It was news I was never supposed to see. Leo’s health was getting worse much faster than anyone expected. The delay in his medical treatments three ago—when I blindly signed the papers that sent his sister to prison and cut off his money—had caused severe, permanent damage to his body. His organs were failing in slow, silent stages. He needed a transplant, and he needed it fast.I got into the back seat of my car. Harrison looked at me through the mirror."Where to, Mr. Wolfe?" Harrison asked softly."Stay here for a minute, Harrison," I said. My voice sounded rough and cracked.I opened the folder on my lap. Insid

    ~ Isabella ~The long glass table in Vanguard’s main boardroom reflected the gray morning sky outside. Rain tapped steadily against the tall windows. Across the table, six members of Vanguard Capital’s executive board sat with their hands folded over black leather folders. They were not looking at the financial charts displayed on the wall screen. They were looking at me."Isabella," continuous board member Mark Sterling said, setting down his gold pen with a light click. "We understand that your family situation is complicated. We truly do. But this company needs a full-time leader."I sat up straight in my tall chair. My black jacket was crisp, but my fingers felt cold. "My family situation, Mark?""Your brother," another board member said. She smoothed her silk blouse and gestured vaguely with her hand. "You have been spending hours at New York Hospital. You are leaving meetings early. Meanwhile, Vanguard’s stock has fluctuated three percent this week alone because of this messy w

    ~ Isabella ~I sat in the hard plastic chair inside the New York Hospital room. The walls were painted a dull, pale blue. It was the kind of color meant to keep people calm, but it only made me feel trapped. A heart monitor beeped next to the bed. *Beep. Beep. Beep.* The sound was steady, but it did not make me feel safe. Every single beep was a loud reminder of what was at stake. I came here to check up on Leo.My younger brother, Leo, sat on the edge of the hospital bed. He wore a faded gray t-shirt and loose sweatpants. He looked far too thin. His skin had a slight gray tone to it, a color he never had before I went away. He swung his legs back and forth, trying to look bored. He picked at a loose white thread on his hospital blanket."You do not have to sit there like a guard dog, Bella," Leo said. He gave me a small, crooked smile."I am not acting like a guard dog," I said. I crossed my legs and smoothed the fabric of my dark skirt. "I am just waiting for the specialist. I want

    ~ Nathan ~The big clock on the boardroom wall ticked loudly. Every tick felt like a tiny hammer hitting my forehead. I adjusted my blue tie for the fourth time in five minutes. My palms were sweaty, leaving damp marks on the smooth, dark wood of the conference table. On the large wall screen, the Wolfe Enterprises stock price was glowing in bright red numbers. It was already dropping, and I hadn't even opened my mouth to the public yet."Nathan, you cannot do this," Harrison said. He was one of the oldest board members, and his face was completely red. He slammed his hand down on a stack of financial reports. "If you walk into that press room and tell the world what your father did, the company will fall apart. Institutional investors are already running away. We will lose everything by Friday!"I looked at Harrison. Then I looked at the ten other board members sitting around the glass table. They were all leaning forward, their eyes wide with panic. They looked like people on a sink

    ~ Isabella ~The large digital clock on my concrete wall showed it was past nine o'clock at night. The big computer servers in the corner of my Tribeca loft made a low, steady humming sound. I sat at the wooden kitchen island, staring down at my tablet. The red lines on the screen showed the damage to Vanguard's stock from today's short-selling. Coldwell Industries was hitting us hard.Maya sat across from me, rubbing her temples. A half-empty mug of green tea sat between her hands."The numbers are still sliding, Bella," Maya said, her voice dropping low. "Cole is using every fake account he has to drive our stock price down. If we do not buy back our own shares tomorrow morning, the board is going to panic.""Let them panic," I said, setting the tablet face down on the counter. "We have enough cash in reserve to stabilize the market by noon. I am more worried about how Cole got the internal data to time this attack."Maya sighed and looked at the dark steel beams on the ceiling. "Do

    ~ Isabella ~I sat inside the glass war room at the Vanguard Capital headquarters. My cup of coffee sat on the edge of the dark steel table. The coffee was already cold, but I did not care to drink it. I kept my eyes fixed on the huge television screens mounted on the wall. The screens showed rows and rows of green and white numbers. These numbers tracked how much money our company was worth every single minute. Everything looked completely quiet. The room smelled like clean carpet and printer paper.Suddenly, a bright red flash blinked on the middle screen.The main number, which showed Vanguard’s stock price, jumped downward. It did not drop slowly. It fell like a heavy stone dropped from a high roof. A long red line stretched across the chart, pointing straight down toward the floor."What just happened?" I stood up so fast that my leather chair rolled back and hit the concrete wall with a loud thud.The door to the war room burst open. Maya ran inside. She did not have her usual b
