Third person's POV "Oh, you'd better get me what you promised, so we can be on good terms," Avery said. Her voice was soft, but there was steel underneath the words.Mr. Astor Sinclair set down his coffee cup with a sharp clink against the saucer. His face changed from concerned father-in-law to something much colder."Sorry, if I don't understand you quite right. Now my dearest daughter-in-law, are you threatening me if I heard you correctly?" His words came out slow and measured, like a judge reading a verdict.Avery's smile was not pleasant. It was the kind of smile that made people step backward without knowing why."Threatening you? No, my darling father-in-law. I'm just trying to be straightforward that I don't like those who promise and fail. It kills someone in my old neighborhood last year."The silence that followed was deafening. Mr. Astor Sinclair's knuckles went white as he gripped his coffee cup. The morning light streaming through the windows seemed to dim."How is tha

Third person's POV The boardroom at Maddox Corporation felt like a battlefield disguised as a place of business. The long table reflected the afternoon light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. Avery stood at the head of the table, her hands gripping the back of an empty chair. Her knuckles were white with tension. She had been speaking for some few minutes, her voice growing more passionate with each argument."I'm proposing that we reconsider this decision before it destroys everything our company has built over four decades," she said, her eyes moving from face to face around the table. "I'm proposing that we choose leadership based on qualifications rather than family politics or social experimentation."The board members listened with varying degrees of attention. Some took notes. Others checked their phones discretely under the table. A few looked genuinely engaged with her arguments.Patricia Chen, a sharp-faced woman in her fifties who had served on the board for e

(Never yours to own)Third person's POV Mr. Astor Sinclair had returned home earlier than usual that evening, his mind heavy with the weight of business concerns and family complications. The mansion felt quieter than normal as he walked through the hallway, his footsteps echoing in the spacious corridors.He found Viviana, the housekeeper, standing just outside Avery's bedroom door with fresh towels in her arms. Her weathered face looked troubled, the kind of expression that came from years of witnessing family dramas unfold in expensive houses."Viviana," he called softly, not wanting to startle her. "Has Avery returned yet?"The older woman turned toward him, shaking her gray head. "No, sir. She left this morning for her meeting and hasn't come back. I prepared dinner, but..." She gestured helplessly toward the empty room.Mr. Astor nodded, though concern was already building in his chest. The board meeting should have ended hours ago. Where was she?His phone rang suddenly, the

Third person's POV "Liam was never yours to own," Mr. Astor Sinclair said, his voice carrying a finality that cut through the tension in the room.The words hit Avery like a physical blow. Something inside her snapped completely, all pretense of control evaporating in an instant."Of course! You ruined my chances with him, you old bastard!" she screamed, her voice echoing off the marble walls. "After impregnating me, you told me I was going to own more shares, but I guess you were lying to me too, just like how you've been lying to your son his whole life!"The accusation hung in the air like poison. Mr. Astor felt his blood run cold as he realized what she had just said - and more importantly, how loudly she had said it. Any servants within earshot would have heard every word."Avery, lower your voice—""No! I'm done being quiet! I'm done pretending!" Her face was flushed with rage and hurt. "You know what? Do whatever you have to do. It's your company, and if you think the scandal

Third person's POV The next day arrived, like the calm before a storm that everyone can sense but nobody wants to acknowledge. For Avery, it was both the aftermath of yesterday's crushing defeat and the beginning of something she hadn't quite anticipated.She woke up late, much later than usual. The morning sun was already high in the sky, streaming through the heavy curtains of her bedroom in the Sinclair mansion. Her body felt heavy, weighted down not just by exhaustion but by something deeper, a weariness that had settled into her bones."Viviana!" she called out, her voice hoarse from sleep and unshed tears.The housekeeper appeared within moments, slightly out of breath as if she had been waiting nearby for the summons. "Yes, Miss Avery?""Prepare my bath."Viviana nodded quickly and disappeared into the en-suite bathroom. Soon Avery could hear the sound of water running, filling the large marble bathtub. The familiar sound was oddly comforting, a reminder that some things rem

Third person's POV Her phone rang again. She pulled it out of her purse and saw it was Mr. Astor calling. She almost didn't answer, but something made her press the green button."Yes?" she said, her voice flat."What do you mean by 'yes'?" Mr. Astor's voice came through sharp with frustration. "Yesterday you were desperate to make things go this way. Just when I've decided to make things go your way, now you're turning me into a bad person."Avery wiped her eyes and tried to steady her voice. "No, I'm really glad for what you did. I'm just... processing everything. I think they should be really frustrated right now, and by tomorrow morning the board will be pressuring Jackson to step down. They'll have to find someone more capable of taking his place.""Someone like you?""Someone who won't cost them thirty percent of their revenue.""Avery, do you understand what I've just done? The damage this will cause?""I understand that you protected both our companies from being associated w

Third Person's POVMADDOX CORPORATION - 2:45 PMThe sleek building of Maddox Corporation stretched toward the sky like a monument to corporate ambition. Liam parked his silver sedan in the visitor's section, taking a moment to steady his breathing before stepping out into the afternoon heat.The marble lobby felt like walking into a cathedral of capitalism. Polished floors reflected the geometric patterns of recessed lighting, while contemporary art installations decorated walls that had witnessed decades of business deals and broken promises.As Liam walked through the entrance, conversations stopped mid-sentence. Staff members turned their heads like sunflowers tracking the sun, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and scandal-fueled recognition."Is that him?" a young woman whispered to her colleague at the reception desk."That's Liam Sinclair," her coworker replied in hushed tones. "The disowned heir. The one from the videos.""What's he doing here?""Probably visiting his bo

Third Person's POVLiam leaned in and kissed Jackson deeply, their lips meeting with the familiar intensity that had defined their relationship from the beginning. Jackson responded immediately, his hand moving to cup the back of Liam's neck as they held each other in the privacy of the chairman's office.When they finally pulled apart, Liam's mind was already racing through calculations and risks. He could have gone to see Avery himself, confronted her directly about the lies and manipulations. But something about doing that tonight felt like it would raise too much suspicion.After all, since the incident of the leaked videos and nude pictures, he hadn't returned to the Sinclair mansion to face Avery. Despite knowing she claimed to be pregnant - carrying a baby in her belly that he knew wasn't his but that she had deliberately pushed onto him as part of her calculated plan.Liam and Jackson settled into the leather chairs across from Jackson's desk, the weight of their situation pre

Third Person's POVA murmur rippled through the assembled press like wind through wheat fields, but Jackson continued without hesitation, his voice steady as steel."What those videos represent is a violation of privacy, not a disqualification from leadership. My intimate life, conducted between consenting adults, has no bearing on my ability to guide Maddox Corporation toward profitability and growth."Jackson Maddox paused, letting his words sink into the consciousness of every journalist in the room. Then he leaned closer to the microphone, his expression hardening with determination."For this reason, I'm making a solemn promise to this board and to the public. I will investigate this matter until I discover who released these private videos on the internet. When I find them, I will call another press conference and expose that person to the entire world."Cameras flashed like lightning as journalists scribbled furiously in their notebooks."Regarding those partners who have cance

The evening light filtered through the tall windows of the Sinclair mansion's study, making a long shadows across the rug. Mr. Astor Sinclair stood near his desk, his face tight with frustration as he stared at his daughter-in-law."I don't understand why you want Liam so badly. He cheated on you!" Astor said, his voice rising with each word. "With your own brother, for God's sake. Why do you still love him after everything?"Avery met his gaze without flinching. "Love comes from the heart, father-in-law. It doesn't follow logic or rules. I'm going to love who I want to love, and there is nobody in this world who can tell me what to do.""That's insane. You're carrying a child—""Don't lecture me about the baby. I know what I'm doing."Astor opened his mouth to argue, then closed it again. What could he say? He poured himself a glass of vodka and downed it in one swallow, the burn doing nothing to ease his frustration."This is madness," he muttered, grabbing his jacket. "Complete ma
