Evelyn kept her left thumb firmly pressed against the side of her phone inside her blazer pocket.

Under the thin fabric of her pocket, the screen’s recording timer was ticking upward, silently capturing the ambient hum of the cafe, the clatter of porcelain cups, and Dominic’s low, cultured voice.

Dominic leaned back against the dark leather booth, a faint smirk lingering at the edge of his mouth. "Harrison won't touch you once the signature is on that paper, Evelyn. He has no personal interest

  • Yours By Contract, Claimed By Fate    The Poison Champagne

    The Plaza Grand Ballroom was stifling, thick with the heavy scent of expensive perfume, hot catering trays, and roasted lamb.Chandelier light glinted off crystal flutes and silver trays carried by waitstaff navigating the dense crowd. Over two hundred executives, investment bankers, and high-society journalists drifted beneath the painted gilded ceilings, their voices blending into a wall of polite noise.Near the grand staircase, Harrison Vance stood surrounded by three hedge fund directors from Zurich. He wore a sharp black tuxedo, holding a glass of sparkling water, his teeth flashed in a practiced smile as he gestured toward a large digital display showing maritime shipping routes.He looked entirely unbothered by the federal subpoena sitting in his lawyer's briefcase downtown.Evelyn stood forty feet away near the marble pillar, her hand resting against the cold stone. She wore a floor-length dark emerald dress that matched the heavy ring on her left finger. The weight of the st

  • Yours By Contract, Claimed By Fate    The Gala Invitation

    The physical invitation arrived by courier at two o'clock on Friday afternoon, stamped in heavy gold leaf on cream cardstock.Evelyn sat at the granite island in Julian's kitchen, staring down at the thick linen paper. The rain outside had finally cleared, leaving behind a dull grey fog that hung over the East River."The International Maritime and Logistics Alliance," Evelyn read aloud, her thumb running over the raised lettering. "Hosted by Harrison Vance and Cross Holdings at the Plaza Grand Ballroom. Black tie required."Marcus stood across the counter, setting down a manila folder filled with legal transcripts. "Harrison posted bail three hours ago. A five-million-dollar cashier's check paid through a shell account registered in the Cayman Islands. Dominic Cross posted two million for his own bond at noon.""They're broke," Evelyn said, looking up. "Julian said the SEC froze Cross Holdings' primary domestic assets yesterday.""Domestic assets, yes," Marcus replied, tapping his ta

  • Yours By Contract, Claimed By Fate    Dominic's Humiliation

    Dominic’s leather soles scraped loudly against the polished floor as the two heavy security guards hauled him toward the service elevator.Blood dripped from his split lip, staining the lapel of his four-thousand-dollar navy suit. He tried to twist out of the guards' grip, his face flushed red, his jaw aching so badly he could barely align his teeth."Get your hands off me!" Dominic choked out, his voice echoing down the fourth-floor corridor. "Do you have any idea who I am? Cross Holdings manages the primary logistics block for this entire medical system!""Not anymore, Mr. Cross," the chief guard said flatly, not slowing his pace for a single second. "Dr. Chen already requested your security clearance revoked. You're trespassing."A small crowd of nurses, floor residents, and visiting family members had gathered near the central desk, watching the scene unfold.Two young interns pulled out their phones, their screens lighting up as they recorded the sight of Cross Holdings' CEO bein

  • Yours By Contract, Claimed By Fate    The Secret Donor

    The torn pieces of the stock transfer document fluttered to the polished linoleum floor, landing right at Dominic’s feet."This is impossible," Dominic stammered, pulling his silver briefcase closer to his chest like a shield. "There are no other reserves. Harrison locked down the entire distribution registry in Switzerland. I personally verified the inventory logs!""You verified the public logs, Mr. Cross," a quiet, dry voice spoke up from the end of the hall.Everyone turned.Walking slowly down the corridor was Luke, the Vance family’s head butler. He wore his usual spotless grey wool coat, his hands folded neatly over an umbrella handle. Despite his grey hair and age, his posture was straight as a ramrod. Behind him, two hospital security guards stood watch, keeping their hands resting near their belts.Evelyn blinked, taking a small step forward. "Luke? You brought the serum?""I did, Mrs. Vance," Arthur said, stopping three feet from the desk. He gave her a short, respectful no

  • Yours By Contract, Claimed By Fate    Realization of Love

    The heavy silence in the ICU corridor felt thick enough to suffocate.Dominic didn't speak. The arrogant, self-satisfied grin had vanished entirely from his face, replaced by a sharp, uneasy squint. He stared at Julian like he was looking at a madman who had just tossed a live grenade onto the floor between them."Thirty percent," Dominic repeated, his voice losing its polished composure, dropping into a quick, defensive pitch. "You're offering thirty percent of Vance Enterprises. That's three hundred million dollars in voting assets, Julian. You lose control of the board.""I don't care about the board," Julian said flatly. His hand didn't shake. The heavy black Montblanc pen hovered two inches above the contract line, ready to drop. "Sign the transfer authorization for the serum, or close the briefcase and get out of my sight so I can find another way."Evelyn stood rigid, her breath catching violently in her chest.She looked at Julian’s face. There was no hesitation in his dark ey

  • Yours By Contract, Claimed By Fate    The Blackmail

    The quiet fluorescent lights of the ICU corridor hummed overhead. Through the glass panel of Room 412, the rhythmic pulse of Lily’s heart monitor sounded like a ticking clock in an empty room.Evelyn’s hands were shaking so hard she had to jam them into her coat pockets. She looked from the silver medical case in Dominic’s right hand up to his smooth, pristine face."You switched the batch," Evelyn said, her voice dropping into an uneven rasp. "You knew the local distributor would trigger an allergic reaction."Dominic adjusted his silk cuffs, his tone offhand, like he was discussing real estate listings. "My family built the supply chain, Evelyn. Harrison might be sitting in a precinct holding cell waiting for his arraignment, but the Sterling foundation still owns the customs clearance seals."He tapped the lock of the metal briefcase with his thumb. A tiny green LED light flickered to life on the latch."The core Vancor-9 serum inside this case is the only unadulterated batch withi
