Marcus

As soon as I got into my room, I collapsed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.

God, everything is falling apart.

The company is gone. My father is going to prison.

Serena hates us. And I have no idea how to fix any of it.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Go away," I called out. But the door opened anyway.

Victoria stepped in, her eyes red from crying.

"Marcus," she said quietly. "We need to talk."

"I don't want to talk..."

"It's about fixing this situation," she interrupted.

I sat up slowly. "There's nothing to fix, Victoria. It's over."

"No, it's not," she said, sitting down beside me. "I have an idea."

"What idea?" I asked tiredly.

"Ethan Ashford," she said.

I frowned. "What about him?"

"He's our only option," Victoria explained. "He's powerful enough to help us. Rich enough to pay off the debt. Connected enough to make the criminal charges go away."

I stared at her. "And why would Ethan Ashford help us?"

"Because..." Victoria took a deep breath. "I'll make

    Serena "GET DOWN!" one of my guards shouted.BANG! BANG! BANG!Gunshots exploded through the air.The windows shattered, glass raining down on me.I screamed and dropped to the floor of the car, my phone slipping from my hand."SERENA!" I could hear Ethan's voice, distant and panicked, coming from the phone. "SERENA! WHAT'S HAPPENING?"More gunshots.My guards were returning fire, their weapons loud and terrifying."Drive!" one guard shouted to the driver. "GO! GO! GO!"The car lurched forward, tires squealing.But the SUV was faster.It rammed into us from the side, and we spun out of control.I felt the impact, felt my body thrown against the door even though I was wearing a seatbelt.The car came to a stop at an awkward angle."Get her out!" one guard shouted. "We need to move!"The door was yanked open, and strong hands pulled me out."Run, Ma'am! Run!"I stumbled forward, my legs shaking, my ears ringing from the gunshots.Behind me, I could hear more shooting."Ma'am, this way!

    SerenaTwo days later, I stood in front of Wellington Holdings, looking up at the building that now belonged to me.My building.My company.The thought still felt surreal.Just months ago, I was thrown out of this place like garbage. Now I own it."Are you ready, ma'am?" Desmond asked beside me.I nodded. "Let's go."We walked through the front entrance, and I felt every eye in the lobby turn to watch us.The whispers started immediately."That's her.""That's Serena Lawrence.""She's the new CEO.""I can't believe Marcus Wellington is working under her now."I kept my head high and my expression calm as we walked to the elevators.Desmond pressed the button for the top floor, the executive floor.My floor now.When the elevator doors opened, my breath caught.The entire floor had been renovated.The dark, oppressive décor that Marcus had chosen was gone. In its place was something bright, modern, and powerful.Glass walls. Clean lines. Natural light floods in from floor-to-ceiling w

    Serena I sighed and shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts.My phone rang, snapping me out of my daze.It was Ethan."Hi," I answered, trying to sound normal."Hi, beautiful," his warm voice came through. "How's your day going?"Hearing his voice made me feel better immediately. Grounded."It's been... eventful," I said."Good eventful or bad eventful?""Complicated eventful," I admitted."Want to tell me about it over dinner?" he asked. "I'm picking you up at six."I smiled despite myself. "You're always picking me up.""Because I love you," he said simply. "And I like taking care of you."My heart melted. "I love you too."After we hung up, I looked at the spot where Dave had been standing.Then I looked at my wedding ring, glinting on my finger.I made my choice. I chose Ethan. And I would keep choosing him, every single day.Whatever feelings Dave claimed to have for me, they didn't matter.They couldn't matter.Because I am Mrs. Ashford now. And nothing would change that...

    SerenaThree days had passed since I exposed Richard Wellington's embezzlement.Three days of pure chaos.The news had spread like wildfire. Every business channel, every newspaper, every gossip blog, they were all talking about it."Wellington Empire Crumbles: Former Chairman Accused of Embezzling $2 Billion""Serena Lawrence Takes Down the Wellington Family"I sat in my office at Lawrence Global, scrolling through the headlines on my tablet. Each one brought a small smile to my face.Let them talk. Let the whole world see what kind of people the Wellingtons really are.My phone buzzed with a text from Desmond."Ma'am, the police have officially arrested Richard Wellington. He's being charged with embezzlement, fraud, and tax evasion. Bail hearing is tomorrow."Perfect.I typed back: "Keep me updated on everything."Another text came through, this time from an unknown number."You destroyed my family. I hope you're happy."I recognized the writing style immediately. Victoria.I almos

    Marcus Towards evening, I found Victoria in her room.She was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling, her eyes red and swollen."Can I come in?" I asked from the doorway.She didn't answer, but she didn't tell me to leave either.I walked in and sat on the edge of her bed."I'm sorry," I said quietly."For what?" she asked, her voice flat."For everything. For this whole situation."She turned her head to look at me. "It's not your fault.""Isn't it?" I asked. "If I hadn't... if I hadn't hurt Serena. If I hadn't treated her so badly. Maybe she wouldn't have done all this.""Don't," Victoria said sharply. "Don't you dare blame yourself for what that witch did.""But...""No," Victoria cut me off, sitting up. "This is not your fault. This is HER fault. She's the one who chose revenge over forgiveness. She's the one who decided to destroy an entire family."I wanted to argue.But part of me, a small, quiet part agreed with her.Yes, we hurt Serena.Yes, we treated her terribly.But to

    MarcusI sat in my study, staring at my phone like it was a bomb about to explode.Twelve calls.I had made twelve calls in the past hour. And every single one had ended the same way."I'm sorry, Marcus, but I can't help you.""The situation is too complicated.""I don't want to get involved.""My hands are tied."Excuses. All excuses.These were men who had smiled at me at charity galas. Men who had shaken my hand at business conferences. Men who had called my father a friend.And now?Now they wouldn't even take my calls.The ones who did answer only did so to tell me no.I slammed my phone down on the desk, my hands shaking with frustration."Cowards," I muttered. "Every single one of them."But I couldn't really blame them, could I?I mean, who wants to be associated with a family accused of embezzling two billion dollars?Who wants to risk their own reputation by helping criminals?Criminals.God, that's what we are now.The thought made my stomach turn.My father committed those
