Rue’s POVThe salt-sweet breeze brushed against my face as I reclined on a sunbed, the sound of waves dissolving my thoughts into something almost… peaceful.Three days ago, Bella had called me, and I knew mischief would be involved.“We’re done with the project! Let’s celebrate.”I had hesitated at first—there was too much work left to do at the office, and Aiden’s shenanigans seemed to follow me everywhere, even in silence. But I’d finally agreed. I needed distance and some peace.Now, as I sat beneath a wide umbrella on the golden shores , sipping mango juice through a straw, I allowed myself to admit something: This was the perfect choice.For once, no one was demanding my attention, effort or heart.Bella flopped onto the sunbed beside me with a dramatic groan.“Rue, my ex texted again. Guess who realized he misses me now that he’s dating a barista who can’t tell a latte from a cappuccino.”I laughed. “You attract really strange men.”Bella grinned. “Maybe. But at least I’m hones

Rue’s POVThe moment the ballroom doors closed behind me, the echo of laughter and music faded into the background. I unclasped the diamond brooch from my dress, my reflection in the corridor mirror staring back at me.I retreated back to my hotel room, slipped off my heels, sinking into the leather chair, and initiated the conference call.“Connect to the Executive," I murmured, and the online meeting blinked to life.Beta Nate’s face appeared on the screen. “ How is your vacation Rue?” he greeted. “Strange.” I replied “ Do you have the numbers?”“You might want to sit for this.” He said“tell me,” I said,“The pre-orders for Aiden Group’s 3D construction line just crossed ten million.” He said. “The tech community’s going wild — influencers, investors, even independent contractors are all rallying behind it.”“Really?”Nate continued, “As for our company’s new project — the neural interface…” He hesitated. “We’ve only hit ten thousand pre-orders. The forums are calling it an unach

Aiden’s POVI told myself she meant nothing to me. That Rue was just a ghost I’d already buried—a mate I didn’t want, a mistake I’d already corrected.But when the notification popped up on my phone—the headline screaming in bold letters, “Percy Group’s Neural Interface Dominates Global Market, Aiden Group Faces Massive Contract Withdrawals”—my chest tightened like a vice.For a few seconds, I couldn’t breathe.Then I hurled the phone across the room.It hit the floor with a violent crack, shattering into glittering fragments. The sound was satisfying. Momentarily. But when the silence returned, it felt heavier than before.“Get me Vance,” I growled.He arrived within minutes.“You saw the reports?” I asked, pacing. “They’re overblown. Rue’s just playing the press like she always does. It’s temporary.”Vance didn’t respond. His silence made my blood boil.“Say something!”He sighed. “Sir, it’s not temporary. The investors are panicking. Half our partners have already started reviewing

Aiden’s POVHaven was sprawled across the couch, a face mask plastered to her skin, cucumber slices sliding down her cheeks. The soft blue glow from her tablet illuminated a dozen open shopping tabs.My phone kept ringing.“Aiden, hang that up,” she said lazily, not even looking at me. “It’s probably my boss again. I told him I’m taking time off.”I frowned. “Did your leave even get approved?”She shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. He’ll manage.”When the phone kept buzzing, she groaned, peeled off the mask, and tossed it onto the coffee table beside an unopened luxury-brand box. “Oh—and before I forget, I charged this to your supplementary card. You don’t mind, right?”My jaw tightened, but I said nothing.Haven was all surface—soft laughter, sweet perfume, perfect smiles—but there was something hollow behind her eyes. Once, I’d mistaken that emptiness for gentleness. Now, it just felt like noise.As I stood by the window, Rue’s face appeared in my mind.Rue never let things hang in the air.

Aiden’s POVThe empire I’d built was collapsing—brick by brick, investment by investment.Within forty-eight hours, the name Aiden Group had become a cautionary tale across every major pack and corporate network. Shareholders withdrew overnight, terrified of bleeding further losses. Partners issued public statements severing ties. And my own engineers—those I’d trusted—resigned in flocks, their loyalty evaporating with each headline praising Percy Group’s “revolutionary innovation.”Rue’s innovation.Every hour brought a fresh wound: another contract terminated. At this point, I didn’t even want to check my inbox for messages.I had not slept for the longest time now, my mind a constant chaotic field. I didn’t know what to do and how to navigate forward. The new virus had already started taking root in my pack, and the only person who could begin to understand a cure to it was the shaman’s student, Rue.My long term Beta had threatened to resign and I hadn’t even spoken to him in a w
