Caught in the Act

~ANAYA’S POV~

I stood near the main hall as the grand study doors opened and the guests began to leave.

My heart beat against my chest as Lucien, Théo, and Raphaël walked out into the hall. I quickly smoothed down my champagne saree, stepping forward to play the dutiful wife one last time before they left.

"Thank you for visiting our home, messieurs," I said politely, bowing my head slightly. "I hope you enjoyed the lunch."

Lucien stopped directly in front of me.

    ~ANAYA’S POV~"Did Rohan just call you?" Camille asked, her voice dangerously sweet as she took a slow step into my private room. "He called me first, you know. He told me his mother is coming... and he asked me to make sure you don't embarrass him tonight."What the hell was she even on about?! I frowned at her in confusion"Get out of my room, Camille," I said, my voice cold and firm as I stared her down.Camille just chuckled, leaning her shoulder against the doorframe. "Just giving you a friendly warning, Anaya. You know how his mother gets."I didn't give her the satisfaction of a reply. I turned my back on her, grabbed a pair of flat shoes from my closet, and walked right past her out into the hallway.My heart was hammering against my ribs, but I forced my legs to move. I had hosted formal dinners at this estate dozens of times over the last eight years. I knew how to set the long marble table. I knew how to order the caterers. I knew how to arrange the flowers.But tonight, th

    ~ANAYA’S POV~After leaving the office, the driver pulled the car into the quiet, winding driveway of the estate.My mind was still spinning in complete shock from everything that had just happened. The image of the crowded lobby, Rohan’s pale face, and the overwhelming, powerful presence of Lucien, Théo, and Raphaël kept playing on a loop inside my head.I stepped out of the car, my legs feeling like lead, and pushed open the heavy front doors.As I walked into the quiet hallway, a shadow moved near the guest wing corridor.I stopped in my tracks. Camille was stepping out from the narrow hallway leading directly to Rohan’s and my master bedroom suite. She was holding a thin blue folder in her hands, her silk blouse slightly disheveled.When she saw me standing there, a slow, annoying smirk spread across her lips."Oh, Anaya," Camille said, her voice dripping with fake politeness. "You're back.""What were you doing down that hallway, Camille?" I asked, keeping my voice cold as I star

    ~ANAYA’S POV~It was you three... wasn't it?" I asked, with my voice barely above a whisper.Lucien didn't answer right away. He made a small gesture to Théo, and the two of them stepped out into the hallway to keep watch and give us privacy.Raphaël stood up from his chair. He walked slowly around the long table, stopping right beside where I sat.The cold mask he usually wore in front of the world completely melted away. His dark eyes were filled with an intense, burning tenderness that made my breath hitch in my throat. He pulled a chair close to mine and sat down, taking both of my cold, shaking hands into his large, warm palms."Yes, Rose," Raphaël confessed softly, his deep voice wrapping around me like a warm velvet blanket. "We dumped the shared stock this morning. We bought his debt. We triggered the collapse."My heart hammered against my ribs. Panic flared up in my chest, making my breath short and shallow."Raphaël, no!" I gasped, trying to pull my hands back, but he held

    ~ANAYA’S POV~I didn't cringe, and I didn't shrink back.I stood up straight, stepped right over Raphaël's dropped coat, and looked Rohan directly in his bloodshot eyes."I didn't ruin you, Rohan," I said, my voice ice-cold and ringing with absolute clarity. "Your greed, your lies, and your cruelty ruined you. You did this to yourself."Rohan gasped, completely stunned by my sudden defiance.Behind him, Camille didn't waste a single breath. Realizing Rohan’s vast fortune had just vanished into thin air, she quietly backed out of the dressing room and ran toward the guest wing to pack her designer bags."Get dressed, Anaya!" Rohan barked frantically, trying to regain control as he grabbed his suit jacket. "We are going to headquarters right now! You are going to stand by my side in front of the press and the board! We need to show them my family is united!"Thirty minutes later, Rohan dragged me through the sliding glass doors of the massive Kapoor Enterprises headquarters in downtown

    ~ANAYA’S POV~My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird, pure panic seizing my throat as the three men pinned me against the cold wooden door.Lucien leaned down, his eyes locking onto my lips with a burning intensity that made my head spin. Théo hovered at my left, his blue eyes dark with raw desire, while Raphaël stepped so close his broad chest brushed my shoulder. They were surrounding me with their heat, their scent, and an overwhelming power that made me feel entirely breathless.They're going to kiss me, my mind screamed. All three of them.A sudden wave of terror and electric heat shot straight down my spine. I gasped, my hands trembling violently as I pushed my palms against Lucien's broad chest."Please... don't," I choked out, tears of absolute panic welling in my eyes. "I... I can't. I'm still married. I can't do this!"Lucien froze instantly. Seeing the genuine fear and panic in my eyes, the dark hunger in his expression vanished, replaced by immediate concer

    ~ANAYA’S POV~Is that Camille? I thought, my chest tightening with sudden terror. Did she stay over? Is she calling Rohan right now?I stared harder, trying to see through the pouring water running down the car glass, but the car turned a sharp corner, and the mansion disappeared behind tall trees.I couldn't be sure. It might have just been a floor lamp. It might have been my own paranoia playing tricks on me in the dark rain. But either way, a cold chill still ran down my spine."Anaya?" Lucien’s soft voice pulled my attention back.He noticed me staring out the back, and his thumb gently stroked the back of my hand, bringing heat back into my frozen skin."Don't look back at that place," Lucien whispered, his gray eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that made the rest of the world vanish. "Look at us. You're with us now."Raphaël reached over, gently wiping a drop of rain from my temple with his thumb. "We have a private estate ready outside the city. No one knows where it is
