"Sandra's Stand"Sandra's POVI was bringing soup to Jane when I heard someone arguing in the hallway outside her apartment. I recognized one of the voices immediately.Amanda."Jane, I know you're in there," Amanda was saying. "We need to talk.""Go away, Amanda," Jane's voice came through the door."I'm not going anywhere until you open this door."I walked faster down the hallway, carrying the bag of soup and crackers I'd brought for Jane."What are you doing here, Amanda?" I asked.Amanda turned around. She was wearing a tight dress that showed off her pregnant belly, and she had a smug smile on her face."Sandra. How nice to see you.""I asked what you're doing here.""I came to check on Jane. I heard about her... situation.""What situation?""Finding out that her boyfriend is a criminal. It must be so embarrassing."I felt anger building in my chest. "Amanda, you need to leave.""Do I? Because I think Jane needs to hear some hard truths right now.""Like what?""Like the fact t

"The Company Secret (Part 1)"Jane's POVI sat in my apartment with Sandra, staring at the box of files I'd brought from my office. Christian had left an hour ago to meet with Detective Rivera. I was grateful for the quiet time to think."Jane, you've been staring at that box for twenty minutes," Sandra said. "What's wrong?""I need to tell you something. Something I should have told you a long time ago.""What?"I took a deep breath. "Sandra, you know my fashion company?""P&G Industries? Of course.""P&G doesn't stand for what you think it stands for.""What does it stand for?""It stands for my name. My real name."Sandra looked confused. "Jane, your name is Jane Walton.""No, it's not. Well, it is now. But it wasn't always.""What was it before?""Before I married Christian, my name was Jane Phillips-Garrett.""Phillips-Garrett?""Yes. P&G Industries. It's my company, Sandra. I own it."Sandra's mouth fell open. "You own P&G Industries?""Yes.""The whole company?""The whole com

"Jared's Redemption Attempt"Jane's POVI was sitting in my apartment at ten o'clock at night, trying to work up the courage to call Christian and tell him the truth about my company, when someone started pounding on my door."Jane! Jane, open up! It's Sandra!"I ran to the door and unlocked it. Sandra stumbled in, looking panicked."Sandra, what's wrong? You look—""Jane, sit down.""Why? What happened?""Jared came to see me."My heart stopped. "What? When?""Twenty minutes ago. Jane, he looked terrible. Beaten up, bleeding.""Bleeding from what?""I don't know. He wouldn't tell me. But Jane, he gave me something for you."Sandra pulled a small flash drive out of her pocket."What is it?""Evidence. Against Crypto Link. Against everyone who's been targeting you.""How did Jared get evidence?""He went to one of their meetings. He recorded everything."I stared at the flash drive. "He did what?""He went undercover. Pretended he was still working for them. Recorded their conversatio

"Jane Takes the Stage" Jane's POV I was sitting in my apartment the next morning, still in my pajamas, when Veronica called. She sounded excited and stressed at the same time. "Jane, where are you?" "At home. Why?" "You're supposed to be getting ready for the gala tonight." "What gala?" "The Children's Hospital charity gala. You're being honored as one of New York's top female entrepreneurs." I felt sick. "Veronica, I can't go to that." "What do you mean you can't go? You've been planning this for months." "No, you've been planning this for months. I never agreed to go." "Jane, this is important. The mayor will be there. The governor. CEOs from every major company in New York." "Exactly. Which is why I can't go." "Why not?" "Because I don't belong there." "Jane, you own one of the most successful fashion companies in the city. Of course you belong there." "Veronica, nobody knows I own the company." "Then tonight is the perfect time to tell them." "I'm not ready." "Yo

"The Media Storm"Jane's POVI woke up the next morning to my phone buzzing with calls from numbers I didn't recognize. I ignored them and walked to my kitchen to make coffee, but when I looked out the window, my heart stopped.There were at least twenty reporters outside my apartment building."Oh my god," I whispered.I grabbed my laptop and opened a news website. The headline made me feel sick:"SECRET CEO REVEALED: Fashion Mogul Jane Phillips-Garrett Is Holmes Family Wife!"Below that was a picture of Christian putting my wedding ring back on my finger at the gala."This can't be happening," I said to myself.I clicked on the article. It was worse than I'd imagined."Jane Phillips-Garrett, the mysterious CEO of P&G Industries, was revealed last night to be the wife of billionaire Christian Holmes. The couple, who sources say have been living separately for months, appeared to reconcile at a charity gala where Phillips-Garrett was honored as one of New York's top entrepreneurs."I
