JasonMy phone buzzed in the cup holder and I glanced down at the notification while keeping one hand on the steering wheel.DEBIT ALERT: $100,000.00What the hell? I grabbed the phone and unlocked it with my thumb just as another notification appeared on the screen.DEBIT ALERT: $250,000.00My stomach dropped and I swerved the Mercedes to the side of the road as a third alert came through before I could process the first two.DEBIT ALERT: $300,000.00Six hundred and fifty thousand dollars in less than ten minutes. I scrolled through my banking app with shaking hands and saw transaction after transaction from luxury boutiques, designer stores, and high end jewelry shops all over the city.All charged to Chloe's supplementary card.What was she doing? What could she possibly be buying that cost this much money? I had told her to go shopping, not to purchase half of Rodeo Drive. Did she not understand that we were on the verge of financial collapse or did she simply not care?I pulled b

Mitchelle I opened my mouth to say of course not immediately, to laugh off the suggestion like it was the most absurd thing I had ever heard. But the words caught in my throat and refused to come out naturally so I had to force them."No," I stated as firmly as I could manage."Then that's even more reason you need to focus on the mission," Danika replied while standing up and pulling me toward her kitchen. "He isn't worth your tears, Mitchelle. If Dorian turns out to be anything like Jason, then you absolutely cannot afford to lose yourself in emotions again. Stay guarded. Stay focused on what this marriage is actually for."She wiped the remaining tears from my face and started pulling ingredients from her refrigerator."Now I'm making you my famous grilled cheese and tomato soup," she announced. "The same comfort food we've been eating together since law school when boys were stupid and life was complicated."I smiled despite everything and helped her in the kitchen while we fell

JasonMy blood turned to ice and I felt like someone had punched me directly in the stomach."What?" I whispered while staring at the name on the screen. "Roth what? What the hell is going on here?""Dorian Roth," Louis repeated slowly. "He's apparently been very successful at building this company from the ground up and now industry analysts are predicting that Rothschild Tech will become the dominant force in regional tech markets within the next fiscal year."Three years. My uncle had been building a competing tech empire for three years while I thought he was living in exile with nothing. And now he had married my ex wife and was actively destroying my business from the inside out."There's more," Louis stated while swiping to another page on his tablet. "The Rothschild Tech Firm employs some of the best talent in the entire industry. Their head of Business Development is particularly impressive according to every report I've read."He turned the tablet again and I saw a professio

MitchelleThe steam wrapped around us as Dorian held me in the shower, the hot water hit my skin and I thought about what I had just told him in the bedroom. I leaned back against the cool tile and felt the contrast between the cold surface and the steaming water sending shivers through my entire body. Dorian stood close, as the water streamed down his shoulders and chest while slicking his dark hair back from his face, his eyes met mine with such intensity that my breath caught in my throat."How can he look at me like I'm the center of his universe when Mallory exists in his world every single day?" I wondered while trying to steady my breathing. "Why can't I just believe him without needing proof?""Mitchelle," he murmured while stepping closer, his hands glided slowly down my wet body and traced every curve with devotion. His thumbs brushed the undersides of my breasts before cupping them gently, lifting them as the shower poured over us. "I don't love Mallory. I never have. She'

Jason"We need to infiltrate that company," Mum announced. "But the best way to destroy someone isn't through direct confrontation, it's by being friends with them first. You get close enough to know their next move before they make it, you understand their weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and then you strike when they're not expecting it."I leaned forward in my chair because this was exactly the kind of ruthless strategic thinking that had made my mother one of the most feared women in our social circles."What are you suggesting?" I questioned."I can use my relationship with Dorian to soften the ground," Diana explained while stopping her pacing to look at me directly. "I'll invite Dorian for tea at my estate, make it seem like I'm extending an olive branch for the sake of family unity. He won't be able to refuse without looking petty and vindictive in front of our people."It was brilliant in its simplicity and I felt hope rising in my chest again for the second time today."I act
