"You humiliated her?"Leo's voice was sharp, slicing through the air the moment he stepped into the room and learned what had happened."She started it,"I shot back, refusing to shrink under his glare. "if she had not provoked me, I would not have reacted."Leo's eyes were flat and unreadable. He had always been impossible to decipher, like a slab of marble that refused to crack. I prided myself on being able to read people, but never him.His gaze shifted to the bedside table where the divorce papers lay untouched."I will sign them,"I said quietly. "But I need you to hear me out first. Just once. After I tell you what I need to say, if you still want me gone, I will leave and never show my face to you again.""So what is it?"His voice carried a flicker of impatience that made my stomach twist. My courage begay to fray.I knew his greatest vulnerability was the thought of having a child of his own. It was pathetic to rely on it, but I had no choice. If there was any hope of saving our

"What was that look, Rose? The tension between you and Mr Robinson was off the charts," Karl whispered dramatically as he hurried to catch up with me on the way back to my desk.I drew in a deep breath and closed my eyes for a moment, trying to calm my nerves. Leo had corner me the entire presentation, questioning and challenging every word I said. What should have been a straightforward two hour presentation had turned into a relentless back and forth that stretched to almost four. Luckily, I had studied every single detail of the materials Mr Mike had given me, so I had answers for every challenge he threw my way."And the way he was looking at you,"Karl went in, clutching his chest. "Like he was angry but secretly impressed at the same time."I hit him lightly on the arm, unsure whether to laugh or get irritated. "Stop it. That is all in your imagination."I started packing up my things, eager to leave, but Director Mike appeared right in front of me."Mr Robinson wants us to join

The iron gates of the Robinson estate groaned as they swung open. To anyone else, this was a palace of marble and gold. To me, it was a graveyard of my youngest, most naive hopes.Jaden sat in the back of the sleek black car, his nose pressed against the window. "Is this a hotel, Mommy? Are we staying here for a vacation?""No, sweetheart," I said, my voice tight as I squeezed his hand. "We’re just... staying here for a little while for work."The car stopped. The door was opened by the same driver who had watched me cry on the curb four years ago. He wouldn't meet my eyes.Leo stood on the front steps. He looked different in the twilight—less like a CEO and more like a hunter waiting for his prize to return to the cage. Beside him stood Clara, her arms crossed, her face a mask of pinched fury."Welcome back, Rose," Leo said. His voice was smooth, but there was a tremor of something else underneath. Satisfaction? Or perhaps relief?Jaden scrambled out of the car, his little backpack

After the doctor confirmed Jaden was fine—aside from a slight chill and a fright—Leo insisted on carrying him to the East Wing himself. He didn't call a maid. He didn't ask for help. He held our son against his soaked chest like he was the most fragile treasure in the world.Once Jaden was tucked in and fast asleep, clutching his favorite stuffed bear, Leo finally stood up. He looked exhausted. His white shirt was translucent from the water, clinging to the muscles of his back—the same back I had spent months massaging and bandaging years ago."Go dry off, Leo," I said softly, standing by the door. "You’re shivering."He turned to look at me, his eyes dark and shadowed. "I almost lost him, Rose. I didn't even know him, and I almost lost him.""But you didn't. You saved him."Leo stepped toward me, his movements slow. "Why didn't you tell me? Truly? Was it just the text? Or did you think I was incapable of being... this?" He gestured toward Jaden’s bed."You were a man who told h

"You were always too smart for your own good, Rose," Karl said, his voice echoing in the confined space. "I actually liked you. I thought we could be a team. But then you had to go back to him.""You were stealing from us for years, Karl," I said, my back pressed against the opposite wall. I tried to reach for my phone in my pocket, but he stepped forward, his hand snapping out to catch my wrist."Don't," he warned. He reached into my pocket and tossed my phone onto the floor, crushing it under his heel. The screen shattered into a thousand black shards. "I saw the data transfer. You and Leo think you're so clever, moving the assets to the offshore accounts. But you forgot one thing.""What?" I whispered, my heart hammering against my ribs."I don't need the money if I have the heir," Karl smiled, a slow, twisted expression. "I have a friend at the house. A 'shadow' in the nursery, as Clara likes to say. If I don't send a confirmation code in the next ten minutes, Jaden goes for a ver
