Kiara’s POVI didn’t have to think.I dialed Leo immediately and he picked up on the second ring.“Kiara.” His voice was steady.“Did you tip the board?” I asked immediately.There was silence.“What are you talking about?”“Don’t play dumb with me,” I snapped. “Anonymous complaint, Investors already postponing meetings. You caused enough chaos at my launch. Was this your next move?”“Are you insane?” he fired back. “Why would I sabotage your company?”“You tell me.”“I didn’t do anything.”“Stop lying.”“I’m not.”His tone now is defensive. “I might have messed up at the launch,” he continued, “but I wouldn’t try to do anything to your business. When I know how hard you worked for it.”I hesitated. “You expect me to believe that?” I asked coldly.“Yes.”“Why?”“Because if I wanted to hurt you, Kiara,” he said quietly, “I wouldn’t hide behind anonymous emails.”That line hit me differently “Bug what about the call of yesterday?” I asked. “I heard about that call yesterday.”“What call

Kiara’s POVMy phone wouldn’t stop vibrating. At first, I thought I was dreaming. But the buzzing didn’t stop.It kept coming and coming.I rolled over, squinting at the bright screen.Then I saw notifications, mentions, tags, direct messages, new followers.My heartbeat quickened. What could be happening. Then I decided to scroll and check the tags. I saw the first tag that says, “Have you seen this?”The second. “He finally exposed her.”The third. “Queen, you won.”I sat up fully, rubbing my eyes. I opened one of the links.And it was Leo, talking calmly in front of a camera.I watched the entire video without blinking.I saw the chat screenshots he attached to the video. Is this really for real? A public exposure? He didn’t protect Miriam, rather he chose truth.I can't really tell what I felt at that moment, watching the video.When he said, “I made a mistake five years ago. I won’t make another one now.”My fingers tightened slightly around my phone. “Five years ago.” I swallow

Leo's pov The whiskey didn’t help. Not the first glass.Not the second. Definitely not the fifth.If anything, it made everything worst and louder in my head.Miriam’s lies, deceit. That moment in the hospital when the doctor looked me straight in the eye and said the is not mine.I let out a dry laugh, staring into the glass in my hand.“So all this while…” I muttered under my breath. “I was being played like a fool.”I mean, I know Miriam lies and can do a lot of things, but I didn't think she can do this. Betraying me after everything I've done and sacrificed for her?I had defended her. Covered for her. Stood in front of cameras and made excuses for her madness, yet I get this?I shook my head slowly. “I’ve really been played.”The realization didn’t come with rage this time. It came with unforgiving clarity.I didn’t even care anymore. I don't even want to know who the real father is, nor stupid explanations. All I want is for her to sign those divorce papers and disappear from

Leo’s POVI was so deep in thought that I didn’t notice anything outside.I had left Kiara’s office hours ago, yet my mind hadn’t stopped racing. Miriam had given birth. A child that wasn’t mine.The betrayal didn’t come in waves—it sat heavy, like something lodged in my chest.It's not just the lie, but the confidence behind it. The way she carried it like I would never find out. Like I was the fool in her story.My jaw tightened.I dialed Mark’s number without thinking, my grip on the steering wheel tightening as the line rang.“Mark,” I said the moment he picked up.“Leo, man, are you okay?” His voice was so calm.I let out a dry laugh. “I… I don’t know.”Silence.“Miriam gave birth,” I continued. “The baby isn’t mine.”A pause.“That’s horrible,” Mark said slowly. “How could she do something like that?”I didn’t respond immediately.“I’m sorry, Leo,” he added. “You’ve got every right to feel betrayed.”I exhaled, rubbing my jaw. “I don’t even care who the father is anymore. I just

Kiara’s POVI was halfway through reviewing a contract when my office door burst open.“Ma’am!”I looked up immediately, my brows tightening.My assistant stood there, slightly out of breath, phone clutched in her hand.“Have you seen the news?”I frowned. “What news?”She walked quickly toward me and placed the phone on my desk, turning the screen so I could see.“Look.”I glanced at it, looked properly and froze.Videos of crowds running.Security men and sirens. A bold headline sat at the top.“Armed Robbery Hits Williams & Co Group Headquarters — Massive Loss Reported.”My fingers slowly stilled on the desk.“What is this?” I asked, my voice calm, but lower.“They’re saying robbers attacked the company this morning,” she said quickly. “There were rumors of gunshots, ma’am. Staff were injured, and they’re reporting that their systems were hacked too.”I leaned back slightly, eyes still fixed on the screen. Saw someone, I guess it's one of his staff, that was being carried out, sucke
