chapter 41

Killian's POVThe moment Tiffany left my office, silence settled heavily around me.I remained seated behind my desk, staring at the documents scattered across its surface without truly seeing any of them.My mind was elsewhere, on Scarlett again.Everything somehow led back to her. Every problem, every setback, and every solution.I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes.Goddess.When exactly did things become this bad?When exactly had I lost control of everything?For years, Scarlett had handled problems before they reached me.Investors stayed because of her.Researchers remained because of her.Projects succeeded because of her.The pack trusted her, the company depended on her. And like a fool, I never noticed.No.That wasn't true.I noticed... I simply never appreciated it.There was a difference.A painful difference.My fingers tightened around the armrest.For the first time in years, I genuinely felt regret.Real regret.Not the temporary kind that disappeared after a

Scarlett's POVBy the time I walked out of Silver Crest Biotech, the sun was already beginning to set.Golden light stretched across the city skyline, painting the glass buildings in shades of amber and gold.For the first time in days, I felt genuinely excited.The partnership agreement inside my briefcase felt heavier than paper.It felt like victory.One investor after another was saying yes.The impossible challenge Luna Christine had thrown at me was slowly turning into my greatest triumph.A smile lingered on my lips as I descended the stairs outside the building.My guards immediately surrounded me. "Are we returning to the company, Luna?"I glanced at my watch.Five thirty-two.I released a long breath.Honestly, I wanted nothing more than to go home, soak in a warm bath, and sleep for an entire week.Unfortunately, life was not that kind.I still had one final meeting.One last company.One more opportunity to secure another investor.After that, I could officially call it a

Scarlett's POVI stood by the large window, staring at the convoy that continued entering my compound.The expensive black SUVs seemed endless.Each vehicle was accompanied by highly trained guards wearing dark suits and earpieces.The atmosphere instantly changed.Even my guards straightened their backs.The casual mood that had filled the room moments ago disappeared completely.I frowned.Just who exactly was their son?Beside me, Mrs. Clinton smiled knowingly."He is here."I glanced at her.For some reason, she looked far too pleased with herself.Almost as though she was waiting for something entertaining to happen.The sound of car doors opening echoed through the compound.My guards immediately became alert, several moved toward the entrance.Others discreetly positioned themselves around the house.One of them looked outside and suddenly stiffened.The reaction did not escape my notice.My curiosity deepened, then the main vehicle stopped.The rear door opened. And a familiar

Scarlett Mrs. Clinton walked over and pulled mw into a hug.The unexpected affection caught me completely off guard."My dear." Her voice softened. "Thank you."Something tightened painfully in my chest.Nobody had ever hugged me like that before.I hugged her back a little awkwardly. But sincerely.Mr. Clinton joined us moments later. "You have a beautiful heart."My eyes stung unexpectedly.I quickly blinked, refusing to cry. Because that would be embarrassing.Mrs. Clinton smiled. "You must visit us sometime."I blinked. "What?"She nodded enthusiastically. "Come visit.""We would love that." Mr. Clinton agreed immediately. "Very much."I looked toward Dominic. He looked just as helpless as I felt which somehow made me feel better.I laughed softly. "If I find the time, I will."Mrs. Clinton immediately looked triumphant. "As long as that is not a rejection."I shook my head. "It is not."The woman looked delighted.Eventually, after another twenty minutes of conversation, the fam

Dominic I glanced at my parents again.The guilty pair immediately looked away.Suspicious.Very suspicious."Tell me the truth."My father coughed.My mother suddenly became fascinated by the scenery outside.I narrowed my eyes. "You planned this."Both of them looked innocent.Far too innocent.Which only confirmed my suspicion.My father's beard twitched, a sign he was trying not to smile."You planned this." I said again.This time my mother broke first.She laughed.Actually laughed."There is no point hiding it anymore."I groaned. "I knew it."My father chuckled. "We were curious.""Curious?" I stared at them. "You disappeared for six hours because you were curious?"My mother nodded shamelessly. "We wanted to meet her."I nearly choked. "You what?"My father folded his arms. "I was told that you have been smiling at your phone for days."I immediately sat upright. "I do not smile at my phone."Both of them stared at me.My mother laughed so hard tears nearly formed in her eye

Scarlett's POVThe next day, I sat in my office, staring at the message Killian sent me last night. I stared at it for a while then, I placed it gently on my desk before leaning back against my chair.A slow breath escaped my lips.The office was quiet again, yet Killian's stunned voice from our yesterday conversation, continued echoing inside my head."Fifty percent?"I closed my eyes briefly.No.It had never been about the company.It had never been about money.It had never been about taking what belonged to him.If he truly believed I wanted half of Silver Moon Pharmaceuticals because I was greedy, then he had never known me at all.Not even after all these years.A bitter smile tugged at my lips.Perhaps that was the saddest part.He had lived beside me, shared a home with me and called me his wife.Yet he never understood the woman standing beside him.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in."Amelia pushed the door open carefully.She immediately noticed the untouched

chapter 48

ScarlettJust then, I heard a soft knock on the door. "Luna?"I turned around and Amelia stood at the doorway again. "There are fresh flowers for you."I frowned. "Flowers?""Yes."She stepped inside carrying an elegant arrangement of white lilies and blue roses."There wasn't a sender's name."Curiosity flickered through me.I accepted the bouquet before noticing a small handwritten card tucked between the flowers.I pulled it out carefully. The handwriting was neat and elegant."Congratulations on another successful partnership. Someone is quietly cheering for you."There was no signature.. Nothing else.I read the sentence twice and a strange warmth settled inside my chest.Somehow... Without seeing the name...I already knew exactly who had sent them. I knew it was Dominic.A smile slowly appeared on my face.It was small.Almost impossible to notice. Yet it reached my eyes. Amelia noticed immediately. "Oh..." She folded her arms. "Now I understand."I looked up innocently. "Unde
