Lyvanne's POV… After Rovan left my office, I remained standing in the same spot, staring at the door long after it had closed. His answers still echoed in my mind like a song played on repeat. ‘Technology.’ ‘Systems.’ ‘Professionals’ Every response had been smooth… rehearsed, and… incomplete. I rubbed my temple with a sigh, shaking my head at the same time. “You're hiding something,” I whispered to myself, walking back to my seat to have some rest so I could get my mind off the thought. As I pulled the chair to sit on it, a knock interrupted my thoughts. I paused, staring at the door. “Come in,” I said, patiently waiting to see who will step in. Louis, my head guard, stepped inside with his usual disciplined posture. His facial expression looked natural. “Ma'am, your vehicle is ready,”

Lyvanne's POV… A few days later… That was all it took. A few days of shared lunches that somehow turned into dinner. A few evenings discussing contracts that ended with quiet conversations on his balcony overlooking the city. A few drives where neither of us felt the need to fill the silence. Somehow, Rovan had become… constant, not overwhelming, and not demanding. Just… there, steady, and reliable. The kind of person whose presence became familiar before you even realized it. Everything was moving so well. Then…he ruined everything. Or perhaps… He changed everything. I had never seen anything like it. The entire rooftop of one of the most luxurious hotels in the city had been transformed into something that looked as though it belonged in a dream. Thousands of white roses lined the marble walkway. Crystal chandeli

Isabelle's POV… The shards of the broken vase still littered the bedroom as I cried out, but no one was there to console me. My chest rose and fell violently as rage coursed through every vein in my body. I wasn't expecting such betrayal from that daughter of a prostitute. Sarah was one of the hardest-working maids ever hired at Alex's house. I kept her close, treated her like a sister, not like a maid, yet she chose to pay me back that way. If only I could find a way to end her life… Jessica, on the contrary, couldn't help me because she believed there was nothing she could do since Alex already got evidence of my conversation. And any attempt to push the case further might land me in prison. I was left with no choice but to leave their house, tears flowing down my cheeks as I drove back home. Sadly, I finally lost Alex after many years of con

Lyvanne's POV… The afternoon sun poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, bathing the room in warm light. The time was exactly 1:30pm, which means the day was halfway gone. Across from me, Rovan sat with a tablet in one hand while several financial reports lay scattered across the conference table. “Our expansion into the western district is progressing well,” he said, circling a figure with his pen. “But if we're aiming to become the fastest-growing corporation in the city, we have to think beyond opening more branches.” I leaned back thoughtfully, slowly biting the pen in my hand, my gaze on Rovan. “What are you suggesting?” I inquired, hoping for a better suggestion. “A logistics subsidiary,” he said with a calm voice. Instead of smiling, I found myself frowning. “We already outsource transportation.” I objected.

Lyvanne's POV… The atmosphere inside the office turned heavy. No one spoke. Everyone waited for Rovan's next command. And as expected, he didn't disappoint. His expression remained calm, but I had learned enough about him to recognize what that calm truly meant. Someone had crossed a line. “They're still under surveillance?” he asked, his gaze on Damien. “Yes, sir.” Damien gave a firm nod. “Our men have them in sight.” “Good.” Rovan nodded back, a little excitement displaying on his face. “I don't want them alerted.” Rovan slipped his hands into his pockets, his voice steady and authoritative. “They are not to escape." "Block every possible exit, but don't engage until you're certain both of them are together.” “Yes, sir.” Damien responded as he immed
