Chapter Thirty One

* Lawrence *The door shut behind her, and I stayed in my chair, staring at the wood panel like it had the answers I'd been digging for all week. She hadn't denied anything. Not once. But she hadn't confirmed it either.Instead, she'd walked in here, filled the air with that slow-burn perfume and the sound of her voice like velvet over a blade, and left me with nothing concrete, except the pulse in my throat that hadn't quite gone back to normal.I wasn't a man who got distracted. Not anymore. Years of keeping the upper hand in boardrooms and backrooms had taught me to separate what I wanted from what I needed. But with Jana... the lines blurred, just enough to make me aware of them.I turned her words over in my head. You'd be surprised how far I'll let you go.That was a challenge. No, worse, it was an invitation. And if there's one thing more dangerous than an enemy, it's an invitation you don't understand.I told myself it was part of the job, part of the game, that getting close

Chapter Thirty Two

* Jana *He was exactly where I wanted him, standing in his own penthouse, staring at me like he'd just lost control without even realizing how neatly I'd taken it from him.Lawrence Dankworth. The untouchable one. The man with iron discipline and colder eyes than most men I'd met in this city. Yet tonight, his gaze betrayed him. That flicker of hunger he tried so hard to bury... I'd seen it. Felt it. And more importantly, I'd planted it.I set the wine glass back to my lips, savoring the silence that stretched between us. To him, silence was pressure, a weapon he usually wielded against weaker men in glass boardrooms. Against me, it was a spotlight, every second he didn't speak, the more he revealed. And I needed him revealed.I turned back to the window, letting the city lights cast me in silhouette. Beautiful. Untouchable. A mystery wrapped in silk and steel. That's what he needed to see. That's what he expected. Men like Lawrence were drawn to puzzles they thought they could solve

Chapter Thirty Three

* Lawrence *The moment the elevator doors closed, I was still standing there, the weight of her words echoing in my penthouse like smoke that refused to clear. Not who I am. But why I'm here.She left that blade buried in me without twisting it. Yet it bled all the same. Damn her. I can't forget that night that I kissed her and still every single time we get closed my mind dictates to do it again.Jana Salazar. I knew power when I saw it, and she wore it like it was woven into her skin. She wasn't some pretty distraction fluttering through my orbit. No, she was deliberate, every move a calculated risk. And yet, despite everything I've built, despite every wall I've forged, she had managed to slip past them with a look, with a whisper, with the brush of her shoulder against mine.I should've dismissed her. Should've locked away that flicker of hunger she pulled out of me like a thief. But I didn't. Instead, I found myself circling questions I had no answers to.Where did she come from

* Jana *Control. That was what he bled for, what he carved himself out of steel to maintain. I could see it in the way Lawrence Dankworth sat at the head of that table, cutting through Argent's defenses with a precision that almost made me smile. Almost. He didn't know I was watching him as closely as he was watching them.The truth? I hadn't planned to walk into that room. Not until I saw the opportunity. And when opportunity knocks, you don't ask if you're invited, you walk in and take the seat that isn't yours yet.The moment the doors opened and every gaze flicked to me, I knew I'd shifted the air. These men lived for power plays, for control, for intimidation. And yet, I was the disruption none of them could quite define. I wasn't on the agenda. I wasn't even supposed to matter. That made me dangerous.The lie slid off my tongue like it belonged there: "Mr. Dankworth asked me to deliver updated documents."Not even a flicker of hesitation.The Argent team swallowed it whole. The

Chapter Thirty five

* Lawrence *The door clicked shut behind her, and the silence that followed was nothing like the kind I wielded in boardrooms. This one pressed too close, filled with her perfume, with the echo of her words.I should have gone straight to the next file waiting on my desk, the projections, the contracts, the outlines of the deal I'd been grinding toward for weeks. That's what I did after every negotiation, clean lines, clear margins, no distractions. But tonight, the numbers blurred.Her voice lingered. You fight best when you're provoked.Damn her. She was right. Argent hadn't stood a chance the moment she walked in and bent the narrative without touching the numbers. And now... my next deal loomed closer, bigger, heavier. A merger with Nano Tech, a corporation as ruthless as I am. There would be no room for hesitation.I leaned back in my chair, steepling my hands, forcing my mind back into order. Discipline. Control. Two words I had lived my entire career by. Yet, tonight, I couldn

Chapter Thirty six

* Jana *The car hummed softly beneath us, glass and steel cutting the city into fragments outside. I didn't look at him, not directly. If I did, the façade I'd built would fracture, and Lawrence Dankworth was the one man who could see straight through the cracks.I'd walked into that brunch knowing exactly what I was doing. I'd dressed for war, rehearsed the cadence of my voice, chosen my words like daggers. Every move had been deliberate, every glance calculated. And it worked. I'd rattled Nano Tech. I'd forced their eyes to split between him and me. I'd reminded the great Lawrence Dankworth that he wasn't the only one who knew how to set a room on fire.But the truth?The truth was sitting right beside me, drinking his silence like it was another weapon in his arsenal.I had never outgrown him.No matter how sharp I made my edges, how carefully I masked my expression, every time I felt his gaze on me—even when he wasn't looking—I was twenty again, breathless from one kiss, from one

Chapter Thirty seven

* Jana *The echo of his word followed me out of that boardroom like the toll of a bell. Liar. It shouldn't have mattered. God knows I've been called worse, by men who mattered less. But from Lawrence... it was different. He said it like a verdict, like he'd stripped me clean and found the truth beneath all the polish, and damn him, he wasn't wrong.Because I was lying. Not about the deal, I meant every word I'd thrown at Nano Tech. That was a strategy. That was survival. But about him? About the way his gaze unraveled me, the way I could feel the imprint of his voice in my ribs long after he stopped speaking? That was the lie.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the empty stretch of table as if it could hold me steady. The truth pulsed under my skin, dangerous and raw, I had never stopped being his admirer. Not really. Not in the ways that mattered.And maybe he knew it; he just didn't remember me. That was the worst part. Lawrence Dankworth had always known me. He knew the tilt of

Chapter Thirty Eight

* Jana *Saturday. My first real day off in weeks. No boardrooms. No power plays. No Lawrence Dankworth threading his voice into my bloodstream like poison and honey. Just me, my couch, and the sound of some overacted drama humming from the TV.I tucked my legs beneath me, clutching a throw pillow like it could anchor me. Chips, remote, silence. For once, I let the world shrink small enough to fit inside four walls.Then his face appeared. Not in memory, not in the cruel tilt of my imagination. On the damn television. Lawrence Dankworth, immaculate as ever, sitting across from a well-poised anchor on a live business segment.Of course. The island revolved around his name, around the power of his company. I should've muted it. Should've changed the channel. But I didn't. Instead, I leaned forward, chips forgotten, watching the way he carried himself, that effortless command. Calm. Sharp. Dangerous.They were talking about the Dankworth influence on the island, how the company wasn't ju

Chapter Thirty Nine

* Jana *The gala was a symphony of distraction, laughter, deals whispered into crystal rims, the low thrum of a jazz band, but all of it blurred once Lawrence angled his body toward me. His presence was like a gravity, everything else in the room tilted, unimportant."Walk with me," he said, not a request, I a very commanding manly tone. His voice that slid under my skin, the same way it always had, a command disguised as civility.I arched a brow, feigning ease. "And here I thought you didn't mix business with pleasure."His lips curved, the faintest shadow of a smile, but his eyes... There is no smile there. Just fire banked under control. Looking deep into my own."Who said this was pleasure?"The words were a strike meant to wound, and maybe once upon a time they would have. But tonight? Tonight I'd armed myself for this exact war."Careful, Lawrence," I murmured as I let him guide me toward a quieter alcove draped in velvet curtains. "If you keep saying things like that, people

Chapter Forty

* Lawrence *The moment Dianne slid into the alcove, her hand curling around my arm like a shackle, I felt the ground shift. Jana's eyes sparked with triumph, taunting, tempting, daring me, while Dianne's smile cut the air like a blade dipped in honey. I should have pulled away. I didn't. Restraint was my weapon, and restraint was all I had left."Enough," I said, but the word was low, dangerous, meant for both of them.Dianne leaned in, her perfume sharp, too sweet. "She looks familiar," she murmured, her voice low enough to pass as curiosity but edged with venom. Her eyes lingered on Jana like she was a memory clawing its way out of the past.Jana tilted her head, unbothered, sipping her own silence like fine champagne."Does she now?" I asked, my voice flat.Dianne's gaze flicked to me, lingering, her grip tightening. "Yes. I've seen that face before. Years ago... Magnolia Resort."The name landed between us like a stone dropped into still water. Magnolia. My family's crown jewel,
