SMEARED

EVE'S POV I was feeding Lily in the nursery when my phone started exploding again. I almost ignored it... after the last tabloid mess and Alex’s confession, I’d been trying to stay off my screen more. But the notifications kept coming. Texts from my new PR contact, missed calls from Damon, and then the headlines popping up everywhere. Damon Sterling’s Wife Eve Caught in Secret Meetings with Investor Alex Rivera Amid Marriage Strain There were photos...blurry shots from the park, ones that made it look like Alex and I were standing too close, plus new ones from our business meetings that someone had clearly leaked. The article went hard: claims of “intimate lunches,” “late-night calls,” and hints that I was using the project as cover while Damon was “distracted with old flames.” Sophia’s name wasn’t on it, but I knew her handiwork. This was bigger than the last fake story. A full smear campaign, and it was everywhere. My hands shook as I set Lily down in her crib. She fussed a lit

SHADOWS OUTSIDE

EVE'S POV I was up late again, feeding Lily in the dim glow of the nursery lamp. She was finally settling into a better rhythm with the reflux, but some nights she still wanted that extra comfort. I rocked her slowly, humming under my breath while the city lights twinkled through the big windows. It had been a long day... more calls about the project, dodging questions about the smear campaign, and trying not to think too hard about Alex’s confession. Damon was in his office wrapping up some work. We’d been leaning on each other more since Sophia’s latest stunt, but the tension from everything was wearing on us. I needed these quiet moments with Lily to breathe. After she dozed off, I laid her gently in the crib and walked out to the living room. The penthouse felt too big and too quiet sometimes. I went to the floor-to-ceiling windows like I often did, looking down at the street far below. It usually calmed me...the movement of cars, the distant lights. Tonight, something felt o

DRAWING THE LINE

EVE'S POV I couldn’t shake the image of that hooded figure standing across from the penthouse. Even with the new cameras and security upgrades Damon had installed, it stuck with me like a bad dream. Alex’s text the next day... that casual “hope you’re doing okay”... pushed me over the edge. I needed to end this,not through Damon, not through more security. Me...face to face. I texted him that morning: We need to talk, in person. Today. He replied almost instantly: Of course, my office at 2? Damon wasn’t happy when I told him over lunch. He was feeding Lily her puree while I picked at a salad. “You sure about going alone?” he asked, wiping her chin. “Yeah,this started with me. I’ll finish it, I need him to hear it directly.” He studied me for a long moment, then nodded. “Text me when you’re done, and if he says anything off…” “I know.” Alex’s office was in a sleek building downtown, all glass and modern art. His assistant showed me right in. He stood up from behind his desk wi

BREAKING POINT

EVE'S POV The penthouse smelled like fresh coffee and baby lotion that morning. I stood in the kitchen with Lily on my hip, her warm little body pressed against me while I tried to pour a cup one-handed. She was getting so heavy these days, but I loved the weight of her. It grounded me when everything else felt like it was spinning out of control. Damon came up behind me, wrapping his arms around both of us. He kissed the side of my neck, then Lily’s fuzzy head. “Morning, my girls. You sleep okay?” “Sort of,” I said, leaning back into him. “Lily woke up twice, but she went back down quick. How about you?” He shrugged, reaching for the coffee. “Better with the new security system in place. No alerts overnight, it feels a little more solid.” I nodded, but we both knew it was fragile. Sophia’s smear campaign was still trickling through the tabloids, twisting everything. My project leads were nervous again. Alex had gone quiet since our confrontation, but that silence felt heav

FINAL CUTS

EVE'S POV The penthouse felt like a pressure cooker. Days after Sophia’s note at the door and my panic attack, we were all walking on eggshells. The new security system beeped softly every time someone entered the private elevator. Damon checked the feeds like it was his new full-time job. I tried to focus on Lily and the project, but every notification on my phone made my stomach drop. Lily was napping in her nursery when the doorman buzzed. “Catherine Sterling is here. She says it’s important.” Damon’s jaw tightened instantly. He’d been distant with his mom since the last blow-up, but this felt different. “Send her up.” I touched his arm. “You don’t have to do this alone.” “I know,” he said, but his voice was already hard. Catherine stepped off the elevator looking polished as always, but there were shadows under her eyes. She carried a small gift bag and a nervous smile. “Darling. Eve. I know things have been strained, but I had to come.” Damon didn’t hug her. “What is it t

TEMPTING OFFERS

EVE'S POV The days after cutting Catherine off felt heavier than I expected. The penthouse was quieter, but the silence carried weight. Damon threw himself into work and security upgrades, while I tried to keep the community project alive despite the smear campaign still dragging my name through the mud. Lily was my bright spot... her smiles came easier now, and she was starting to babble little sounds that made both of us melt. I was at my rented office, staring at another email from a hesitant partner, when my phone rang. Alex. I almost didn’t pick up. After our confrontation, he’d gone radio silent. Part of me hoped that was the end. But the project needed momentum, and ignoring him completely felt like cutting off my own foot. “Eve,” he said when I answered. His voice was warm but careful. “I know things have been tense and I respected your boundaries. But I have something big I want to run by you. Not a meeting at my office... neutral ground. The lounge where we first talked

TRAPPED

EVE'S POV Lily’s cry cut through the penthouse like a knife. It wasn’t her usual fussy sound, this was sharp, desperate, followed by a retching cough that made my blood run cold. I was out of bed before my eyes fully opened, Damon right behind me. She was burning up in her crib, tiny body trembling, face flushed red. When I picked her up she felt like fire against my chest. “Damon, she’s really hot. This isn’t normal reflux.” He didn’t hesitate. “Hospital. Now.” The next twenty minutes were chaos. We wrapped her in a light blanket, grabbed the diaper bag, and took the private elevator down while Damon called ahead to the pediatric ER. The new security detail drove us, lights flashing on the SUV as we sped through the early morning streets. Lily whimpered weakly in my arms the whole way, her breathing shallow and fast. I kept whispering to her, tears streaming down my face. “Hang on, baby girl. Mommy and Daddy are right here.” The ER was a blur of bright lights and quick hands. Th

RUTHLESS

DAMON'S POV The penthouse was finally quiet again after Lily’s hospital scare. She was back to her somewhat fussy but improving self, sleeping in her crib after a full feeding. Eve had crashed hard on the couch, exhausted from the all-nighter and the constant fear. I sat in my home office staring at the monitors... security feeds, stock tickers, everything. Sleep wasn’t happening for me. Then my phone started exploding. First my CFO. “Damon, you need to see this. Meridian deal is collapsing, they’re pulling out citing ‘instability and reputational risk.’ Stock is already dropping four percent in pre-market.” I opened the reports. It was worse than that, anonymous leaks had hit financial blogs overnight... exaggerated claims about internal chaos, fabricated emails suggesting I was distracted by “personal scandals,” and hints of financial irregularities in the Asia expansion. The Meridian partners were spooked, board members were calling. The stock kept sliding as the news spread.

THE CONFESSION

EVE'S POV I couldn’t breathe easy anymore. Not after Lily’s hospital stay, not after Alex’s twisted “gifts” showed up there, not after Damon’s ruthless takedown of the company sabotage. The walls were closing in, and I was done waiting for the next strike. I needed proof. Something concrete we could use to bury him legally and finally get him out of our lives. When Alex texted me that morning asking for one last meeting to discuss the future of the project offer, I saw the opening. I agreed. Neutral ground ... the same lounge where we’d had our early talks. I told Damon I was meeting a potential new contact for the pilot. He didn’t like it, but he trusted me. I slipped a small recorder into my bag, tested it twice, and left the penthouse with my stomach in knots. The lounge was quiet when I arrived. Alex was already there, sitting at our usual corner table. He stood when he saw me, that same intense smile spreading across his face. Today it looked predatory. “Eve, you look tired.

SHADOW ALLIANCE

Sophia adjusted the oversized sunglasses on her face as she slipped into the back corner booth of the small, dimly lit café in a quiet part of Brooklyn. It was the kind of place no one important would ever be caught dead in...faded booths, burnt coffee smell, and a bored waitress who barely looked up from her phone. Perfect for this. She’d chosen the location carefully. Neutral and untraceable. Far from the gleaming towers where Damon and Eve played happy family with their precious Lily. The thought of that baby... their baby... still made her blood boil. Lily should have been hers. The life, the penthouse, the man... all of it stolen by that pathetic nobody Eve. Her phone buzzed. A single text from the burner number. Unknown: Here. Sophia’s lips curved into a cold smile. She watched as Alex Rivera entered, scanning the room once before spotting her. He moved with that polished confidence that made her want to laugh, billionaire consultant playing savior. How cute. He slid into t
