"That is literally your job as the CEO of Sterling Corp, to clean up your own internal mess!" I barked back, jabbing my index finger squarely at his chest."It's not mine! I have hundreds of employees at the Alexandra Group whose livelihoods depend on me.If I get dragged into this mud and my company faces a boycott, are you going to put food on their tables? No, you won't!"Alex stared at me without blinking, his eyes flashing with a mix of fury and sheer disbelief.The man who was so accustomed to pulling my strings with sweet talk and manufactured guilt now stood utterly speechless against the icy fortress I had built."So, this is your decision?" Alex asked, his voice raspy as he swallowed his rage."You're really choosing to stand alone and watch your own husband burn?""I am choosing to act rationally," I replied flatly, crossing my arms over my chest once more."I'm not letting anyone burn, Alex. I'm simply protecting what is rightfully mine and safeguarding my own empire.If yo

Shane’s POVThe atmosphere inside my primary office on the top floor of this skyscraper was always quiet and cold, encircled by a breathtaking view of the city skyline through thick glass walls.To the rest of the world, I was just Shane Sterling. The youngest son branded as a lazy, troublemaking good-for-nothing living in the long shadow of the Sterling family name.In this room, however, I was the founder and sole owner of Apex Capital. A behemoth investment consortium that top-tier European tycoons spent fortunes trying to court.I leaned back in my chair. A sly smirk curled my lips as the slim monitor before me displayed Sterling Corp’s stock plummeting in a sea of burning red graphs.What a gorgeous sight.People, especially my own blood, were far too naive. My father had always looked down on me, dismissing me as a useless brat who knew nothing except how to blow through money.In his eyes, Alex was everything. The golden boy, the charismatic genius, the perfect heir to lead the

"Thankfully, Mr. Alex is an exceptionally kind-hearted man with immense empathy," Zeena continued, casting Alex a fake, fluttering look of deep gratitude."He felt terrible seeing me struggle, which is why he offered me a ride. Please don't be angry with Mr. Alex. He only wanted to help.""Ugh, what a splendid little soap opera you two are putting on this afternoon," I cut in sharply, slicing right through her melodramatic speech."One playing the chivalrous hero, and the other playing the helpless, persecuted victim.""Zoya! Watch your mouth!" Alex snapped under his breath, his eyes darting anxiously around the lobby."Zeena is just being honest! Why do you always have to look down on someone's kindness?!You canceled her company car privileges, and now you're furious when I step in to help her?!""Kindness?" I took a step closer to Zeena, staring directly into her trembling eyes."Asking you to take public transit was a matter of corporate cost-cutting, Zeena. But clinging tightly to

Nausea immediately burned in my throat, remembering how his body had just lay with Zeena.Worse still, my body had been thoroughly sated by Shane's wild passion just this morning, making Alex's touch feel like a sting of venom against my skin.With a rough shove, I drove my elbow into his stomach and wrenched myself free from his embrace."Get off me!" I snapped, my eyes piercing through him like daggers. "I'm exhausted, and I am in no mood for games!"Alex raised both hands in mock surrender, letting out an awkward chuckle. "Alright, alright. Don't be so defensive, sweetheart. I was only offering."I scoffed, turning my back to him in front of the large vanity mirror. My fingers moved swiftly, undoing the buttons of my blouse one by one before heading to the bathroom.As the white fabric was pulled back over my shoulders and slid down—"Wait!"Alex's tone suddenly turned rigid. His hurried footsteps closed in on me from behind.Before I could pull my shirt back up, his strong grip loc

Those words hit like a bolt out of the blue. They slammed into Alex’s chest, leaving him gasping for air.The man froze. His face, which had just been flushed with arrogant confidence, drained of all color until he looked like a corpse.His eyes widened in shock, caught in a volatile cocktail of disbelief, utter panic, and fiercely suppressed rage.He certainly never expected that right before millions of viewers watching the live broadcast, I would throw him off a cliff to ruin all by himself. Severing every last one of his lifelines."A-ah, I see!" a forced, awkward laugh escaped the host's lips as he scrambled to regain control of the live broadcast, which had suddenly turned icy cold."Truly an extraordinary display of professionalism from Mrs. Zoya! Firmly keeping business matters separate from the household!"I flashed the most elegant smile directly at the main camera. Tilting my head slightly with a relaxed expression."Of course," I replied softly, my tone dripping with a chil
