Lena POV:I woke up to the sound of my alarm, my heart already racing.Today was my first real week as CEO. Not just the announcement. Not just the introduction. Today, I actually had to do the job.I sat up slowly, placing a hand on my stomach. The baby was still so small, but I felt the weight of responsibility, for this child, for the company, for myself.I can do this. I have to do this.I got out of bed and walked to my closet. It was filled with beautiful, expensive clothes, tailored suits, elegant dresses, and professional blouses. I chose a charcoal gray pantsuit with a crisp white blouse underneath. Simple. Professional. Powerful.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my collar, smoothing down my hair.The woman staring back at me looked confident, put-together, like she belonged in a boardroom.But inside, I was terrified.What if I mess up? What if they realize I don't know what I'm doing?I took a deep breath and forced myself to stand straighter."You've got this, Len

Lena POV:I woke up to sunlight streaming through my window and the smell of coffee drifting up from downstairs.For the first time in weeks, I didn't have back-to-back meetings. Damien had insisted I take the weekend off."You're running a marathon, not a sprint," he'd said. "Rest."I stretched, feeling the soreness in my back ease slightly. My hand went to my belly, it was rounder now, more noticeable. I couldn't hide it much longer.Four months pregnant. Almost halfway there.I smiled, feeling the baby flutter inside me.Downstairs, Abel was in the kitchen making pancakes, badly."Morning, sis!" he called out when he saw me. "Pancakes?"I looked at the lumpy, misshapen pile on the plate and tried not to laugh. "Did you actually cook those, or did you fight them first?"He grinned. "Hey, I'm trying. Besides, you're eating for two now. You need fuel."Henry walked in, took one look at the pancakes, and shook his head. "Abel, step aside. Let me handle breakfast before you poison our s

Lena POV:I stood outside the boardroom, my hands smoothing down my navy suit for the third time in as many minutes."You're going to wear a hole in that fabric," Abel said from beside me, grinning.I shot him a look. "This is a huge deal, Abel. I'm allowed to be nervous.""You're not just nervous. You're terrified."I didn't deny it.Inside that boardroom was David Zhang, CEO of TechNova Industries, one of the biggest tech companies in Asia. He was here to finalize a partnership that would expand Morrison Corporation into international markets.This wasn't just big. This was massive.And it was my deal.Damien had let me take the lead on this one. He'd guided me, coached me, reviewed every proposal and counter-proposal. But ultimately, this was mine.If it succeeded, it would prove I belonged in this role.If it failed...I didn't want to think about that."You've got this," Abel said, more seriously now. "You've prepared for weeks. You know this deal inside and out."I nodded, takin

Damien POV:I sat in my office, staring at the message Lena had forwarded to me."I saw the article. Congratulations. You're doing amazing things. I always knew you were capable of more. - A"My jaw tightened.Aiden Norman.The man had been warned. Multiple times.He'd been thrown out of Morrison Corporation. Escorted off the premises by security. Told explicitly to stay away from my sister.And yet, he kept finding ways to contact her.New phone numbers. New email addresses. Showing up at places he shouldn't be.He thought he was being persistent.I saw it for what it was,harassment.And I was done being patient.I picked up my phone and called Henry."We have a problem," I said the moment he answered."Aiden?""Yes."There was a pause. "What did he do now?""He texted Lena again. Another new number. She's blocked him five times already, and he keeps finding ways around it."I heard Henry's sharp intake of breath. "She told him to stop.""We told him to stop," I corrected. "He's not

Aiden's POVI stood in my room, boiling in anger. Then I began to pace around, biting my nails one after the other. The thought of those billionaire men provoked me, especially knowing that my ex-wife was their sister and she was also doing well without me in the picture."How dare they come to my house and threaten me? Who do they think they are?" I exclaimed."God?" I laughed sarcastically.Because I mistakenly cheated and threw her out of my house, Lena decided to mess me up like this.I could feel my heart burning within me. My face was literally turning red. My breath became intense. I reached out to a flower vase and smashed it against the wall."She can't be doing okay without me. Enough of the pretense, I have pretended enough," I said to myself angrily. "We will both go down together."I had tried to reach out to her, but Lena and her brothers fucking humiliated me. They treated me like shit. Apart from that, they made my life miserable just because I did what I did."They th
