The Wife He Used as a Scapegoat Cole Strikes the Tower.
~ Cole ~"Sell it all. Every share. Now."I said the words into the phone without raising my voice. My assistant on the other end did not argue. He never did.I stood by the window of my private office, high above the city. Below me, the streets looked small, like toy cars moving on a gray board. I held a tablet in my other hand. On the screen, a red line dropped like a stone falling off a cliff.Wolfe Enterprises stock. Falling fast.I watched the number change. Forty-one dollars. Thirty-eight. Thirty-four. Each drop felt clean, like a knife cutting through paper."Sir," the voice on the phone said, "the algorithm is already moving. Three exchanges are flagging unusual volume.""Let them flag it," I said. "By the time anyone traces the orders, the damage will already be done."I hung up and set the tablet down on my desk. The office was quiet except for the soft hum of the air system. I liked it quiet. Quiet meant I was in control.My phone buzzed again. A text from one of my traders
The Wife He Used as a Scapegoat The Almost-Kiss.
~ Isabella ~"The monitor is green, Isabella," the doctor said, pointing to the tall plastic machine beside the bed. "His body accepted the new organ. The rejection phase is over."I dropped into the hard plastic chair by the bed. My knees were shaking so badly they felt like soft jelly. "He is really going to be okay?""Yes," the doctor said. He smiled and tapped his chart with a black pen. "Your brother is very strong. He just needs rest now."The heavy wooden door clicked shut behind the doctor. The room went quiet, except for the steady *beep, beep, beep* of the heart monitor.I leaned my elbows on the edge of the mattress and pulled my knees up to my chest. The tight knot in my stomach finally let go. I didn't mean to cry, but hot tears spilled over my eyelashes anyway. Sitting in this small white room, watching Leo’s chest rise and fall under the clean blanket, I could not stop the water from falling.A soft step sounded on the cold tile floor behind me.Nathan didn't say a word
The Wife He Used as a Scapegoat Complications.
~ Isabella ~"Drink this, Bella," Nathan said softly.He stepped into my view, holding a white paper cup. Steam rose from the top. He looked completely worn down, but his eyes were steady as he held the cup out to me."I don't want coffee," I said. My voice sounded thin and dry, like paper tearing."It's hot water with lemon," Nathan said."You haven't swallowed anything since six this morning. Please."I looked at his hand. The skin around his knuckles was scraped from the fight in the parking garage. He had taken a blow meant for my head, and he hadn't complained once.I took the cup. The paper was hot against my cold fingers. "Thank you."Nathan sat down in the plastic chair right next to mine. The metal legs scraped loudly against the linoleum tile. "How long has it been?" I asked, looking up at the round clock on the wall. The red second hand moved in steady, quiet clicks."Four hours and twenty minutes," Nathan said. I guess he had been tracking every single minute right alongsi
The Wife He Used as a Scapegoat Men Outside the Hospital.
~ Nathan ~I leaned my back against the cold tile wall of the pre-op waiting room and closed my eyes. Every second felt like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest.Inside the operating room down the hall, doctors were getting Leo ready for his surgery. Isabella sat on a hard vinyl chair a few feet away Her face was pale, and her dark eyes were wide with a deep, silent fear.I hated seeing her like this."Nathan," Isabella whispered, her voice trembling slightly.I snapped my eyes open and stepped over to her, dropping down on one knee so I was at eye level with her. "I'm right here, Bella.""The security guards..." She swallowed hard, her eyes darting toward the heavy double doors at the end of the hallway. "Are you sure they are watching the main floor? What if Damian Cole tries something? He sent that message to my phone. He knows Leo is in this building."I reached out and placed my hand gently over her frozen fingers. She didn't pull away. That tiny bit of trust meant more to m
The Wife He Used as a Scapegoat The Boy In the Waiting Room.
~ Leo ~I sat on the edge of the narrow hospital bed, swinging my legs slowly. The blue paper gown felt thin against my arms, and the air in the pre-op ward smelled like bleach, old rubber, and clean sheets.Through the clear glass window of my small room, I could see my sister, Isabella.She was walking back and forth in the hallway. Step, turn, step, turn. Her black heels made a quick, sharp sound against the white floor tile. *Click, click, click.* Her arms were wrapped tight around her waist, and her eyes were fixed on the floor.Bella thought she was hiding it, but I knew her better than anyone. She was terrified. Her shoulders were pulled up high near her ears, and every time a nurse walked past with a plastic tray, Bella jumped a little bit.Then, the heavy double doors at the end of the hall swung open.Nathan Wolfe walked in.He didn't wear his expensive suit jacket today. His dark tie was pulled down, his white shirt collar was open, and his sleeves were rolled up past his w
The Wife He Used as a Scapegoat A Threat Against Leo.
~ Isabella ~The cold white floor of the hospital waiting room was so clean I could see my own shoes in it.I paced back and forth, counting my steps to keep my mind off the heavy smell of rubbing alcohol and old bleach. Ten steps to the water cooler. Ten steps back to the door. Every time I turned around, my knees felt weak.Leo’s surgery was in less than three days. My younger brother had waited so long for this transplant, his body beaten down by years of delayed treatments ever since Nathan cut off his funding while I was locked away. Now, everything was finally ready. The doctors were ready. The organ was secured. The Vanguard medical team had checked every single detail twice.Then my phone buzzed in my coat pocket.I pulled it out, expecting a message from Maya about Vanguard's stock status. Instead, it was an encrypted video file sent from an unlisted number.My fingers felt cold as I tapped the screen. The video opened to a low-resolution security feed of the hospital’s under
