Semua Bab Married to my Arrogant Sponsor : Bab 51 - Bab 60

The first shareholder to pull out did so quietly.No press statement. No angry boardroom scene.Just a simple email forwarded to Grayson’s team:“We appreciate the years of partnership, but in light of current revelations and ongoing public scrutiny, we are exiting with immediate effect.”Others followed.Grayson had seen it coming. But nothing prepares you for watching your legacy crumble not all at once, but piece by piece. Like a cathedral you built brick by brick, now being dismantled while you watch from inside.Wolfe International had always been a fortress. Cold, polished, intimidating.But now?Now it was exposed. Cracked.The headlines didn’t help:“Wolfe Loses Major Backer After Whistleblower Fallout.”“Sinclair Speaks, Empire Shakes.”The media loved to pit them against each other. They wanted blood.But Ava refused interviews now. She wasn’t a sideshow. An

There was no press release. No Instagram post. No elegant outfit, no stylist, no curated moment for the internet to dissect.Just a handwritten note taped to the front door of the Wolfe estate:“Gone away. No visitors.”Ava and Grayson packed two small bags each and left the city before dawn. No chauffeur, no entourage. Just them, in a borrowed black SUV, driving toward a place only they knew.Three hours later, they arrived at a quiet coastal cabin.Salt air. Faded wood. The rhythm of waves on sand.Grayson carried their bags inside without a word. Ava opened all the windows. The breeze rolled through like a cleansing.The silence that followed wasn’t awkward. It was heavy—but necessary.They hadn’t spoken about the headlines. Or the fallout. Or the foundation. Or the fracture that had crept into their quiet moments like fog under a locked door.It had been weeks since they’d truly looked at each other with

They were back in the city for less than forty-eight hours when the next storm hit. It started with a headline. Just one. Small. On a gossip blog most people only clicked out of boredom. “Ava Sinclair Wasn’t Always This Noble Her Past Revealed.” Luisa found it first. She brought Ava the tablet like it was a wound wrapped in glass. “It’s starting again,” she whispered. Ava sat at the kitchen island, heart sinking as she scrolled. The article accused her of being a social climber, of orchestrating the scandal for fame, of being “emotionally unstable” in college. It even included a blurry photo from her first waitressing job, claiming it was proof of a “secret past.” Then came the source: an “anonymous insider close to the Wolfe household.” Grayson saw it next. He said nothing at first, just stood across from her in the living room with his jaw clenched

It had been weeks since the podcast.The world hadn’t quieted. The press still called. Headlines still spun. People still argued over whether Ava was a savior or a traitor, a woman speaking up or a woman speaking too much.But inside the townhouse, life had taken on a softer rhythm.No more staff. No formal dinners. No staged photo ops. Just quiet evenings. Shared silences. Sideways glances that held more honesty than entire conversations used to.Ava had grown used to waiting for the other shoe to drop. Her whole life had been structured around it expecting the unraveling, the disappointment, the apology that came too late or not at all.So when she walked into the sunroom and saw the white envelope resting on the table beside a steaming cup of her favorite tea, she braced herself.Grayson wasn’t in the room.Just the letter. Folded once. Heavy, somehow, even in its stillness.Her name was written across the fr

Ava stood before the glass door, heart pounding in a way she hadn’t felt in years. Sunlight filtered through the building’s windows, illuminating the sleek signage in bright relief: Ava Sinclair‑Wolfe CEO, Advocacy & Ethics Division Her name. Not just a badge of ownership, but a promise on glass. Memories pressed forward the day she signed away her voice with that contract, the nights she wondered who she’d become, the moment she realized silence had cost her everything. And now the full weight of her journey stood before her. She closed her eyes for a moment, breath deepening. Five years ago, she’d been terrified of committing in ink. Tonight, she was about to commit in presence. There was vulnerability here, but also something powerful: belonging by choice even when it terrified her. Ava opened the door and stepped inside. Hardwood floors re
