WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 31 – The Pressure Point
Cruz didn’t take long. That was the first problem.The second was that Ivy wasn’t ready this time. Not fully. Not the way she needed to be.The penthouse still felt unsettled from everything that had just happened, like the walls themselves hadn’t caught up yet. The news still played silently on the screen, Adrian Cole’s name scrolling endlessly at the bottom, turning a calculated move into something far more dangerous.A mistake.Or something worse.Sebastian stood near the window, his posture rigid now, no longer relaxed, no longer controlled in the way it had been before. He was thinking too fast.
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 30 – The First Crack in Control
The silence after didn’t feel the same. It lingered too long. Too heavy. Like something had shifted between them and neither of them knew how to put it back.Ivy was the first to move. Not away. Not immediately. But enough. Just enough to break the contact. Her hand slipped from Sebastian’s chest, slow, controlled, but her fingers lingered for a second longer than they should have. That was the problem.It always was.She stepped back. Finally. The space between them felt wrong now. Not safer. Not clearer. Just… exposed.Sebastian didn’t follow. He stayed where he was, watching her with that same look—sharp, unreadable, but different now. Less guarded. More dangerous.&nb
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 29 – The Only Place They Don’t Lie
The silence didn’t last. It never did with them.It stretched just long enough to become dangerous, just long enough for something unspoken to build between them, thick and heavy and impossible to ignore.Ivy hadn’t moved from where she stood, but her mind wasn’t on the screen anymore.It was on him.She could feel it—the way Sebastian was watching her now. Not like before. Not like strategy. Not like calculation.This was different. This was personal.“You’re doing it again,” he said quietly.Her gaze lifted slowly. “D
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 28 – The One Move They Didn’t See
The door hadn’t fully settled before the tension shifted.Not disappeared. Not eased. Shifted.Ivy stood exactly where she was, eyes still on the space Cruz had occupied seconds ago, her mind already working through everything that had just happened. Every word. Every pause. Every look.Sebastian moved first. He walked toward the door, not opening it, just stopping in front of it like he could still feel Cruz’s presence lingering in the air.“She knew,” he said.Ivy didn’t respond immediately. “Yes,” she said finally. “She did.”Sebastian
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 27 – The Game She Already Won
Cruz didn’t sit.That was the first thing Ivy noticed.She stepped into the penthouse like she owned the space, her gaze sweeping once, slow and deliberate, taking everything in without appearing to. The kind of observation that didn’t miss anything, even when it looked casual.Sebastian remained near the bar, relaxed in posture but not in presence. Ivy could feel the tension coiled beneath his stillness.Cruz stopped a few feet away from them.“You’ve been busy,” she said.Her tone was calm. Too calm.Ivy til
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 26 – When the Hunter Turns
Detective Elena Cruz didn’t check her phone immediately.That was what made her dangerous.She let it sit on the table beside her untouched, screen lighting up once before dimming again, as if whatever waited there could afford to wait. Cruz had learned a long time ago that urgency was often a performance. Real threats didn’t beg for attention. They arrived quietly and stayed.She finished her coffee first. Black. No sugar. Then she reached for the phone.The message wasn’t long. It didn’t need to be.

The jet took off at 2:40 a.m.Ivy didn’t sleep.She sat by the oval window of the Blackwood private jet, watching Los Angeles disappear beneath the clouds while the quiet hum of the engines filled the cabin.Across from her, Sebastian Blackwood sat with his long legs stretched out, reading somethin

WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 6 - The First Move
The first board meeting after Julian Blackwood’s death felt less like corporate governance and more like a quiet declaration of war.Blackwood Global headquarters stood exactly as it always had—forty-two stories of glass and steel cutting into the Los Angeles skyline—but the atmosphere inside had s
