Chapter 101: The Lion's Den

**Leylie’s POV**The kiss ended too soon, but I felt my cheeks flush like I’d been standing under stage lights for hours. Hundreds of eyes drilled into us from every corner of the lobby—employees frozen mid-step, whispers already sounding loud through the air. I just wanted to disappear. Why the hell would he kiss me like that, of all the damn places!He pulled back just far enough to look at me, that dark, hungry look in his eyes that always made my heart race faster. “You look so good,” he whispered.“Thanks,” I forced my lips into a smile even though my face felt like it was on fire. I leaned in close, my mouth brushing his ear. “I will meet you in your office. Go. Your people are waiting.” He glanced toward the men he was walking with, who just stood looking lost, then over my shoulder at Grace, who was staring so hard at the floor I thought she might burn a hole in it. After a second, he nodded. His thumb slid down my arm one last time, slow and possessive, before he turned

Chapter 102: Betrayal of a Brother

**Hayes’ POV**What the hell just happened?The door clicked shut behind Leylie, but the tension she left in the room still hung thick in the air. She’d been fine, in fact more than fine, until Matt walked in. Then she shut down completely, grabbed her bag, and practically ran out like she couldn’t get away fast enough. I turned my gaze to Matthew. He dropped into the leather armchair across from my desk, legs stretched out, scrolling through his phone as if nothing had happened. The casual act didn’t fool me for a second. “What was that all about?” I asked, leaning back in my chair and raising one brow. “Hmm?” He didn’t even look up. “Matt. Stop. You know exactly what I mean. Leylie bolted the second you stepped through that door. She looked at you like you were poisonous.” He finally lifted his eyes, forehead creased in confusion. “I don’t know, man. Maybe she remembered she had somewhere to be. You know how women get sometimes.” I stared at him hard. We’d known each oth

Chapter 103: The Paper Trail

**Leylie’s POV**I pushed the door open and let it slam shut behind me, the sound echoing through my quiet apartment as I collapsed on the couch the second I reached it. Ugh! Finally, I winced as I rubbed my legs, my calves absolutely killing me after a whole day in six-inch heels.My head was throbbing badly. I felt guilty, really guilty as I thought about Hayes. I kept seeing his face from earlier, the way his eyes had searched mine when I suddenly mentioned I needed to leave. I should have told him about Matthew before then. After everything that happened with Melissa and all those secrets that nearly broke him, I hated hiding anything from him. But telling him about Matthew meant risking the one friendship that had held him together for years. I didn't want to be the woman who tore apart a lifelong friendship unless I absolutely had to.One month. Just one month to find something real on Finnian. That was all I had. I just hoped the bug under his desk and the data on my flash

Chapter 104: The Price of Loyalty

**Hayes’ POV**The drive to Matthew’s house was a blur. I wasn't just angry; I felt sick. How could my best friend, the man I called a brother, threaten Leylie like that? He knew I liked her. He knew I was looking for her. And he tried to use her secret to get her into bed.I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. My heart was thumping against my ribs from pure rage. I drove into his compound and parked the car roughly, not even caring if I hit the curb as I stormed into his house. The living room was empty and quiet."Matt!" I shouted, my voice loud and sharp.There was no answer."Matt!" I called out again, even louder this time.I heard a light footstep behind me and turned around. A young woman with red hair stood there, wearing very little clothing and staring at me with a frown."Where’s Matt?" I snapped."He’s in the shower." She looked me up and down. "And who are you exactly?"I didn't answer her. I didn't have the patience for small talk. I pushed past

Chapter 105: The Collision

**Leylie’s POV**I was still in my pink silk dress, the fabric feeling tight and suffocating against my skin. I sat on the couch, my mind spinning from everything I had heard in Finnian’s office. The confession about the tax fraud was still echoing in my ears, a weapon I finally held in my hands.Then, the doorbell rang.I jerked my head toward the clock. 7:15 PM. My heart skipped a beat. I wasn’t expecting anyone.My pulse kicked up hard. I snatched the flash drive I hadn’t checked yet from the coffee table, shoved it deep into the side pocket of my purse, and zipped it shut. Then I stood, smoothing my hands down the dress even though it didn’t help.I walked to the door on legs that didn’t feel steady, pressed my eye to the peephole, and froze."What the—"I pulled the door open, my mouth parting in extreme shock."Hello, Ley."Finnian leaned against the frame like he owned the hallway, one shoulder relaxed, the other angled toward me. His eyes dragged down the length of my dress an

Chapter 106: The Claim

**Leylie’s POV**The silence pressed down on me like a weight I couldn’t shake off. Hayes stood there in my doorway, staring at Finnian’s hand resting on my waist, and I swear I felt every second of it carving into him. Hayes looked at me, and I felt like I was being sliced open. I knew he was hurting. I knew that seeing Finnian’s hand on my waist was like a knife to his heart, but I was trapped. If I pushed Finnian away now, all the work I had done—the bug, the flash drive, the fake forgiveness—would be for nothing.“Tell him to leave, Ley,” Finnian murmured close to my ear, his voice slick and sure, like he already owned me. His fingers pressed a little harder into my side, pulling me against him just enough to make his point.I looked at Hayes. His eyes were dark, almost black, with a mix of fury and heartbreak. He wasn't just mad at Finnian; he was mad at me. He had rushed here to see me, only to find me standing in the arms of the man who had abused me.“Is this what you want, L

Chapter 107: Blood and Ink

**Leylie’s POV**I needed to talk to Hayes so badly my chest actually hurt. I had to remind him of my plan—the one where I acted like the dumb, desperate ex-wife so I could get close enough to destroy Finnian. He had to understand why I had asked him to leave instead of Finn.I crawled across the floor to the coffee table because my legs felt too weak to stand. My hand shook as I grabbed my phone, scrolled until I saw his name, pressed call, and held it to my ear, whispering, please, please, please, under my breath.It rang, and rang again, and again.No response.I stared at the screen, my face twisting into a frown so deep it made my forehead ache. Was he driving? Or was he sitting somewhere, looking at my name flashing on his phone and choosing not to answer because the sight of me in Finnian’s arms had finally broken something in him? I prayed it was the first. Hayes wasn’t the type to play games, but I’d seen the look in his eyes. That kind of hurt could change anybody.The whole

Chapter 108: The Serpent’s Warning

**Finnian’s POV**I woke up smiling for the first time in months. The kind of smile that pulls at the corners of your mouth before your eyes even open. Sunlight slipped through the heavy curtains in my bedroom, but today it didn’t feel like another weight pressing down on me. No crushing list of meetings, no sour taste of my sham marriage. Just her.Leylie.Yesterday kept replaying in my head like a loop I didn’t want to stop. Her walking into my office in that soft pink dress, looking so damn beautiful it actually hurt to breathe. Then later, in her apartment, the way her body fit against mine again, warm and real. The taste of her lips, the little sound she made when I kissed her harder. God, I’d missed that. I’d missed her so much it felt like a hole in my chest had finally started to close.I wanted her back. All of her. And this time I wasn’t going to screw it up. I’d give her everything she deserved. I’d prove I was different now.I swung my legs out of bed, still riding that hi

Chapter 109: The Breaking Point

**Leylie’s POV**I didn’t sleep at all last night. I just lay there, turning from one side of the bed to the other until the sheets twisted around my legs like they were trying to trap me. My phone stayed dark on the nightstand the whole time. Hayes never answered any of my calls. He didn’t reply to a single message. Every time I checked, the screen showed nothing, and that silence hurt worse than any words could.I kept telling myself he would understand. We had talked about this. I explained why I needed to get close to Finnian again, to get the proof I needed. Why couldn’t he see that? Every second I spent near Finnian made my stomach turn. It felt wrong. Dirty. But Hayes was acting like I had betrayed him on purpose.I finally gave up around dawn, dragged myself into the shower, and got dressed fast. I pulled on my favorite blue jeans and a soft white chiffon blouse, then slipped into black loafers. Nothing fancy. I just wanted to look like I had it together, even though everythin

Chapter 110: The Boiling Point

**Hayes’ POV**I stared out the window as the city blurred past quickly. The drive to the office dragged on longer than it should have, every red light feeling like it was mocking me. My chest burned with anger that wouldn’t settle. Every time I blinked, I saw it again—Finnian’s hands on Leylie’s waist, the way she had looked at me in the foyer with guilt written all over her face. She had let him kiss her. She had let it fucking happen.“Damn it!” I slammed my fist into the back of the passenger seat. The loud thud made Marcus jump in the driver’s seat.“Sir? Is everything okay?” he asked, eyes wide in the rearview mirror.“Just drive,” I snapped, voice low and sharp.He nodded fast and fixed his eyes back on the road, but I caught him glancing at me every few seconds, worried. I leaned my head against the seat and tried to pull in slow breaths. Why was Leylie doing this to us? I understood her reasons. She wanted to take Finnian down for everything he had put her through. But I coul
