Chapter 31 : What Jane Knows

.Chapter 31 : What Jane Knows(Jane POV)The moment Keisha walked away, the air didn’t settle. It stayed tense, thick with whispers and sideways glances from people who were pretending not to stare. Jane didn’t move right away. She stood beside Zara just outside the building, arms crossed, watching the direction Keisha had disappeared into. Her expression stayed carefully flat, the way it always did when she was trying to keep her thoughts from spilling out too fast.Zara turned to her, voice low but urgent. “Jane…”That single word carried everything she wasn’t saying out loud.Jane exhaled slowly, buying herself a few seconds. “I know.”Zara didn’t let it go. “What does she mean? What does your father have to do with Dominic… and why would Keisha even know that?”Jane glanced around at the lingering eyes and gestured toward the quieter side of the building. Zara followed without argument. They stopped near the edge of the pavement, away from the main foot traffic.Jane uncrossed h

Chapter 32 : Three Days

Chapter 32 : Three Days(Dominic POV)By the time Zara arrives, I already know something is wrong.It’s not the kind of knowing that comes from a call or a message. It’s the kind that comes from the way she walks in, the slight pause at the door, the way she steadies herself before stepping inside, like she’s carrying weight she doesn’t want to drop on me too quickly.I meet her halfway.I don’t ask questions immediately. I just pull her into me.She doesn’t resist. Her arms come up and wrap around my waist, hands pressing against my back like she needs the contact as much as I do. I hold her tighter than usual, breathing in the familiar scent of her hair, feeling the tension in her shoulders slowly ease against my chest.“I missed you,” I murmur against her temple, the words slipping out before I can stop them.She lets out a small breath, almost a laugh, but it’s soft and tired. “It’s only been a d

Chapter 33 : The New Enemy

Chapter 33 : The New Enemy(Zara POV)By the time I got home after seeing Dominic, I already knew he was trying to handle something bigger than what he was saying out loud. It wasn’t just the words he chose. It was the careful way he spoke on that call before I left, the way his voice shifted slightly when he mentioned Marcus again. He had said that name more than once before, always in a tone that made it clear the man wasn’t just an employee or a colleague, but someone he trusted enough to carry pieces of his world he couldn’t handle alone. For a brief second I caught myself wondering what kind of man Marcus was, and what kind of world Dominic had built that required people like that to keep it standing. The thought lingered longer than I expected before I pushed it aside and focused on what was right in front of me.Monday morning came faster than I wanted it to. The moment I stepped into the office, I could feel it. Not loud or obvious, but t

Chapter 34 : Claire Tightens

Chapter 34 : Claire Tightens(Zara POV)Two days after Vivienne’s comment, I stopped reacting and started paying attention properly.Not the obvious things meant to be seen. The small ones. The kind that slip past if you’re not looking for them. I kept track of everything without making it visible, messages, timing, who spoke to who before something changed, who suddenly had information they weren’t supposed to have yet. I didn’t confront anyone. I didn’t ask questions that would make people defensive. I just watched and stayed quiet.It wasn’t new to me. I had learned early that silence isn’t weakness if you know how to use it. Sometimes it’s the only way to understand what’s really happening before you move.By Wednesday afternoon, the pattern was clear.Vivienne wasn’t working alone.She was just the easiest part to see.The real pressure was coming from somewhere else and I found out exactly where later

Chapter 35 : Shopping With Jane

Chapter 35 : Shopping With Jane(Zara POV)Saturday felt like the first quiet day I had in a while , the kind that doesn’t come with a deadline or a problem waiting at the end of it. Jane dragged me out of the apartment before I could talk myself into staying back to “finish just one more thing,” which usually turned into three hours and a headache. She said I needed air, and honestly, she wasn’t wrong.We didn’t go out for anything specific. No list, no target. Just walking from one shop to another, touching fabrics, pulling things off racks, talking about nothing and everything at the same time. It helped me think. Screens never did that for me. I needed to see things in real life, the way colors sat next to each other, how fabric moved when you held it, how something felt before it even made sense in your head.“You’ve been too serious this week,” Jane said as we stepped into the third shop. “It’s not healthy.”“I’ve been working,

Chapter 36 : The Bag War

Chapter 36 : The Bag War(Zara POV)We leave the dresses behind and drift into accessories, the kind of slow wandering that looks casual but isn’t. I touch a few scarves, glance at jewellery I don’t really need, and let Jane talk about a pair of earrings she insists would “change my life,” even though we both know she says that about everything shiny.“You don’t even wear earrings like that,” I tell her.“I could start,” she replies immediately. “Growth is important.”I huff a small laugh and move on.The bag section is toward the back, arranged neatly on glass shelves with soft lighting that makes everything look more expensive than it actually is. I slow down without meaning to. Bags are different. They’re not just something you wear once and forget. They stay with you. They follow you into meetings, into rooms where people are already deciding what they think of you before you even speak.I scan the shelf on

Chapter 37 : The Restroom

Chapter 37 : The Restroom(Zara POV)By the time we step into the next store, something in me has settled into a different kind of focus. The earlier tension with Keisha hasn’t disappeared, but it has shifted shape. It is no longer loud in my head. It is quieter now, sharper, sitting somewhere behind my ribs where I can reach for it when I need to think clearly. Jane is beside me, moving through racks with that easy curiosity she has, touching fabrics, flipping tags, holding things up against me without asking because she already knows how I see clothes before I say it out loud.We move from one section to another without rushing. I am not shopping for myself anymore, not really. I am looking for ideas, for combinations, for textures that can translate into the styling brief sitting unfinished on my laptop. I pause at a display of structured blazers, running my fingers along the seam of one in a deep charcoal shade, already thinking about how it would sit

Chapter 38 : What Zara Heard

Chapter 38 : What Zara Heard(Zara POV)I don’t say anything about it that night.Not to Jane when we get back from the shop. Not when she starts unpacking the bags like the day is still normal. Not when she makes tea and tries to talk about something lighter, something that doesn’t sit heavy in the air between us.I keep it in my head.The same way I always do when something feels too fragile to touch immediately.Keisha’s voice.The way she said it.“The baby is Ryan’s.”Not loud. Not emotional. Just firm enough that anyone listening from outside would believe it without question.But I was there. I heard what came after, and that part doesn’t match.Jane notices I’m quiet, of course she does. She always notices. But she doesn’t push it at first. She just watches me while pretending to be busy, like she’s giving me space on purpose.It only changes later that night.

Chapter 39 : What He Tells Her

Chapter 39 : What He Tells Her(Dominic POV)She comes in without hesitation.No drama at the door, no delay in her step, just that steady way she has of entering a space like she already knows what it’s going to demand from her. I close the distance between us immediately, not because anything has changed between us, but because the weight of everything outside this room has been building too fast, and I want her here before I start.I pull her into me first.She doesn’t resist. Her arms come up and wrap around my waist, hands pressing against my back like she needs the contact as much as I do. I hold her for a long moment, breathing her in, one hand stroking slowly up and down her spine. The familiar warmth of her body against mine settles something in my chest before I have to open old wounds.“You’re early,” I murmur against her hair.“You said come,” she replies softly. “So I came.”That simple.

Chapter 40 : Vivienne’s Play

Chapter 40 : Vivienne’s Play(Zara POV)The following week feels like a continuation of everything that has already been set in motion, just with fewer visible hands pushing at me. Claire’s pressure has gone quiet in a way that doesn’t feel like relief, only redirection. I can tell she has shifted her attention toward Ryan because the space around me at work has changed. No more vendor calls disappearing, no more quiet external interference that I can trace back to her influence. It is just Vivienne now. And somehow that feels worse, because Vivienne doesn’t need anyone else’s help to make things difficult.Work continues anyway.The gala project is the biggest assignment our division has handled this quarter, and I have been carrying it in pieces since the moment it was assigned to me. I rebuilt the vendor list after the early disruptions, restructured the styling direction, and adjusted timelines twice when one supplier failed to meet expectati
