CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: NOT JUST A HOUSEWIFECASPIAN'S POVShe looked beautiful. Apart from the fact that I had already drunk more than I should have at the club that morning, all I could still think about was my wife.I had left the house early with every intention of going to the gym. I wanted the heavy bag, the burn in my shoulders, anything that might knock the memory of her slap and the way she had kissed me back out of my head. Instead I had somehow found myself at the executive club, nursing drink after drink while the same images played on a loop. Serena’s furious eyes in the car, the crack of her palm against my face, the soft broken sound she made when I finally kissed her silent. By the time I walked back into the mansion and saw her coming into the house with shopping bags everywhere, the alcohol was still warm in my blood and she was still the only thing I could focus on. She was absolutely beautiful.That was the first clear thought that landed when she walked into the foye

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: STILL INSIDESERENA'S POVA bulk of paper fell off the table and neither of us looked. Caspian stepped between my legs and kissed me like he needed me more than air. His hands held my hips tight. He pulled me right to the edge of the desk so my body pressed fully against his.The huge shirt I wore had ridden up high on my legs. His fingers slid under the soft fabric. They moved slowly up my sides. He reached my bare breasts. He broke the kiss only long enough to look down at me. Then he pushed the shirt higher, over my chest, and closed his mouth over one nipple.I gasped. My head fell back. His tongue circled the tight peak. He sucked harder through the fabric I wore underneath. My fingers dug into his shoulders. The strong muscles there tensed under my hands. He removed the fabric, and moved to the other breast and gave it the same slow care. He sucked and lightly bit until both nipples were wet and very sensitive. Every pull of his mouth sent a shot through me

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: SILENTCASPIAN'S POVThe red line on the screen kept falling.I stood in the center of my office with the entire executive floor still in controlled chaos behind me. Voices overlapped. Someone from the legal department was arguing on the phone. Another person kept refreshing the market data as if the numbers might change if they stared hard enough. The headlines at the bottom of the display repeated the same story in different words: Damian Cross had launched the product. Laurent International had been beaten. Shares were in free fall. The red numbers updated every few seconds, each drop another cut.I forced my voice to stay even.“Get me every department head who had access to the final package. Now. I want names, timestamps, and clearance logs on my desk in twenty minutes.”People moved. The cluster outside my door broke apart as orders were relayed. Someone hurried toward the elevators. Another pulled out a phone and started making calls in a low, urgent voic

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: WHEN HE CAME BACKSERENA'S POVI was still awake when the front door finally opened.The sky outside the windows had turned totally dark. The television was still on mute, the red stock chart frozen on the screen from hours earlier. My phone sat on the cushion beside me. The house had been silent for so long that the sound of the door felt louder than it should have.I checked the time and it was one in the morning.Then I heard footsteps crossing the foyer.I stood up slowly. My legs felt stiff from sitting too long. I had not slept. I had only waited.Caspian walked into the living room looking like he had been through a war. His shirt was wrinkled. His tie was gone. There was a roughness around his eyes that I had only seen a few times before, usually when something serious threatened the company. The usual sharp control was still there, but underneath it I could see the exhaustion. He stopped when he saw me standing there in the dark with the television sti

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: THE CLOSED DOOR SERENA'S POV I was awoken by a sound from outside. It sounded like pots clanking Mrs Ellis was probably here already. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time. The house was too quiet. I listened for any sound from the hallway or from his room. There was nothing, there was no footsteps, no low voice on the phone. There was no movement at all. Caspian had not come out. Or he left very early. I sat up in bed and rubbed my face. My body still felt heavy from the long night of waiting and worrying. The message from A sat in my mind like a stone. . Those words kept coming back every time I tried to think about something else. Did they go for Caspian because I said no? Was A affiliated with Damian Cross? I got out of bed, washed my face with cold water, and put on simple clothes. Then I walked into the hallway and stopped in front of his door. I stood there for almost a full minute before I raised my hand and knocked.
