“Alright,” Eric said, sitting up straight. “I came here to talk about the land bought close to the project.”Autumn’s eyes narrowed slightly at his words. She wasn’t aware he had bought land so close to the project.*Is he stupid or something?* she thought, staring at him. *There’s no way he knew this much and still made the same mistake.*“Yes, it was brought to my notice that a purchase was made by King’s Construction — both parcels totaling over two hundred million pounds.”Eric nodded in confirmation and opened his mouth to speak—“It’s quite ironic, don’t you think?” Sebastian cut in. “That Mr. Kingston chastised me for not knowing the laws, and still made the exact same mistake. Doesn’t that make you worse than me?” The insult was aimed directly at Eric’s intelligence.“Cat got your tongue?” Sebastian turned to Autumn. “You were very vocal when criticizing me, but you can’t do the same for your ex-husband. Is it because you once shared a bed with him that makes him exceptionally

Sophia sat on the edge of the bed, empty bottles sprawled around her feet as she tried to think about the last twenty-four hours. She was still wearing yesterday’s clothes. She hadn’t showered — she had simply drowned herself in alcohol the moment she stepped inside the house.Her mind kept replaying the words Eric had said to her, calling her stupid, calling her foolish.And she couldn’t disagree with him. Her eyes were bloodshot from being awake all night, searching for a solution to her current dilemma.How was she going to get two hundred million pounds for William? Hell, how was she going to tell him she had thrown his money away on a dud?She raked her brain, trying to think of who she could ask for that kind of money.There were only a few people she could think of at the top of her head — one of them being Eric, the other being William, and a few other childhood friends.What would she do? Ask them all to donate a few million to her?“If I did that, I’m no better than that slu

Autumn was outside on site, supervising the project as they continued with the next phase. Her presence was required.This was what her days had mostly consisted of lately — being at the office and then returning to the site to oversee the work being done. The task was rewarding in its own way, helping to create something from scratch.She walked into the makeshift office, letting the hot air from the heater warm her up. She had been out all day in the freezing cold.She grabbed her phone to check for any updates or messages.“Hey, boss,” someone called out to her.“Yeah?” she answered, not looking up from her phone.“We’re getting lunch for ourselves,” he started. “You want something?”She dropped her phone on the table.“Yeah. A sandwich and a coffee with milk and cream.” She took out a few bills from her bag and handed them to him. “Thanks.”With that, she was left alone.She went through her emails before checking her messages and missed calls.Eric and Chloe?She frowned, stuck i

Eric stared at the phone in his hand as the familiar tone of the call being hung up rang in his ears.“She actually hung up on me,” he muttered to himself in disbelief, before letting out a quiet huff and placing the phone back on the table.He shifted his gaze to the sea of faces staring back at him. The softer expression he had worn while answering the call had already morphed back into his familiar aloof mask.“What are you looking at?” he asked coldly, snapping them out of their silent observation. “Continue with the next one.”They scrambled to resume the presentations.Eric sat through report after report, his mood plummeting with each one.His mind drifted to Autumn. He wasn’t listening to a single word being said.*I wonder what she’s up to right now,* he thought, absently turning the phone in his hand as he pictured the smile that must have bloomed on her face when she heard she could see Fin.*I want to see her. I haven’t seen her since last week—*His thoughts were cut shor

“I said give me back my child.” He moved to take the box from her, but she ducked under his free arm and pressed it tightly against her chest.“You’ve been refusing to let me see her for weeks,” Autumn said, holding the box closer. “You even cremated her before I could see her body.”“Do you deserve the right to see her?” he asked, walking toward her.“I do,” she yelled. All the resentment and anger that had built up from those nights spent clutching her pillows came tumbling out.“I carried her for six months before she was ripped out of me.” She held the box tighter. “Don’t I deserve that much?”“No, you don’t,” he replied. “You’re the one who stubbornly moved out of the house just because of a little temper tantrum.”“You call me finding out you cheated a temper tantrum?” she scoffed.“I did not cheat on you. I never cheated on you,” he yelled.“Sure. I believe you.” Her voice was thick with sarcasm. “That’s why you’re so eager to flaunt your new relationships.”“That’s your own bu
