Chapter 7

Penulis: Mountain River
One month later. National Business Summit.

Where power suits flex harder than gym bros and fortunes talk louder than words. And this year? Suvari Corp owned the spotlight.

Five minutes till showtime, I was backstage alone, eyeing my reflection. The black designer gown? Killer. Makeup? Lethal. My eyes? Steel.

She looked like me, but... upgraded.

Still, I could picture the girl from last month—barefaced, in some basic dress, baking apple pie.

Then came the crash—me, choking on jam and betrayal, sprawled on a sticky floor.

That wreckage built this version of me.

I exhaled and shoved the door open.

Siena Suvari's rebirth started now.

First public appearance as Suvari Family CEO, and yeah, the pressure was insane—but I didn't flinch.

I stepped onto that stage, and suddenly, every suit in the room was locked on me.

No notes. No script. Just me, laying out Suvari Corp's five-year global takeover plan like I'd been doing this in my sleep.

Every line hit. Every move? Clean, confiden

  • Till Nuts Do Us Part   Chapter 8

    Carlo wouldn't sign the divorce papers. Big move for a guy who'd already lost everything.Then Dad's legal team dropped the magic words—lawsuits, audits, maybe even a few "accidents." Suddenly, he remembered how to hold a pen.Divorce finalized. Fast.Next time I saw him, he looked like roadkill in a wrinkled suit.His eyes lit up when he spotted me. He lunged, blocked my path."Siena, don't go." He grabbed my arm like that would fix anything. "I know I messed up. I was a bastard. Just one more chance, please. I don't want the company, the money, none of it. I just want you. Let's go back. Please."He reached in for a hug.Enzo stepped between us, shoved him back.I stared at Carlo. No rage, no love. Just pure ice."There's no going back," I said, voice colder than steel. "The second you picked Gianna over me—the second you watched me choke, laughed while I begged for help—that's when you died in my world."You might not've known who I really was, but you knew my allergy. You

    The day I left the hospital, the weather was obnoxiously perfect.I wore a crisp white suit—tailored sharp—and cut off the long hair I'd kept for Carlo all those years. The short, clean chop felt like shedding skin.Enzo, my assistant, opened the car door for me. As I slid into the back seat, he launched straight into business."Signora Suvari, latest update on Pipino Corp: we've terminated eighty percent of their partnerships. Major banks pulled their loans. Our consigliere says they'll be bankrupt by the end of the week."I nodded, eyes on the blur of the city outside."And," he added, "Gianna Verde's been officially charged—aggravated assault. The evidence is airtight. Her family's estate got seized by the feds for tax evasion and illegal activity. She's finished.""Got it." My voice didn't flinch.***Carlo? He was living his worst days.His company was tanking. Partners ditched him like he was contagious.The same guys who toasted him at that party? Now they cursed his n

    When I came to, I was in a sleek private room at Suvari Corp's city-center hospital. Quiet, spotless, and way more bougie than any five-star hotel. The air smelled faintly like bleach and money.My hand—yeah, the one Gianna stomped on—had been patched up by some VIP surgeon and was now wrapped in a pristine cast. My throat felt less like sandpaper, though my voice still rasped like I'd swallowed gravel.Dad was parked beside the bed. One night had aged him a decade.As soon as I opened my eyes, his face crumpled—guilt and heartbreak all over it."How are you feeling?" He took my good hand. Warm. Steady. Solid."Much better, Dad." And for once, I meant it.That party had nearly killed me. Literal nightmare fuel. But now? I was finally awake.Still, something twisted in my gut.I knew how my dad operated. His version of mercy? Let's just say it wasn't exactly legal.Gianna and Carlo didn't just screw up. They signed their death warrants.Thing is, Dad had spent years trying to

    The doors exploded open like a freaking action movie. Heavy wood slammed against the walls, dust flying everywhere.In marched a swarm of men in black suits—silent, deadly, and very much not here to party.Laughter? Dead. Music? Gone. The whole room froze like someone hit pause. Every face went pale.At the front stood a man in his fifties, all class and menace. Sharp eyes like knives. No one needed to ask who he was.Then he saw me—crumpled in the corner, wheezing, half-dead. And just like that, his polished mask cracked. All that was left? Raw rage and panic.Yeah. That was my dad. Don Giovanni Suvari."Where's the doctor!" His voice shook the damn walls.A medical team sprinted over. Bags, masks, injections—the whole ER-on-wheels."Signora Suvari's crashing—anaphylaxis. If we were any later, she'd be gone!" one of them snapped, already jabbing something into my arm.Dad dropped to his knees, peeled off his jacket, and laid it over my ruined dress."Lock it down," he said,

    Gianna grabbed a slice of pie. "Heard you made these yourself, Siena. Why not try a bite?"Before I could blink, she smashed it into my face.Crust cracked. Hot jam hit like lava. It clogged my nose, filled my mouth—I couldn't breathe.Panic tore through me, yanking out one last burst of strength."Help!" I choked, voice shredded. "Somebody—HELP ME!"That finally got their attention.Carlo stormed over, all fake calm and ice. "What's going on here?"Gianna froze, that smug grin flipping to fake concern in a heartbeat."Oh my God, Siena! How'd you make such a mess eating pie? Here, let me help you clean up."I tried to back off, but my legs gave out. I stumbled right into her.She let out a high-pitched shriek and dropped to the floor. "Siena! I was just trying to help—and you shoved me?"Carlo stormed over, fury flashing in his eyes. "Siena, can you stop humiliating yourself?"Then he actually looked at me—my skin tinted blue, lips shaking—and for a second, the anger cracke
