My phone buzzed once more, displaying a location pin sent by Shane. It pointed to a lavish penthouse located in the most exclusive high-rise district in the heart of the city.Without wasting a second, I instructed Mia to change course.Twenty minutes later, the private elevator whisked me straight to the top floor.The doors slid open, welcoming me into a sleek, minimalist private foyer.As I approached the main entrance of the penthouse, the door swung open before I could even reach for the handle.Shane stood there, resting his shoulder lazily against the doorframe.He wore a crisp white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, the top two buttons undone to reveal the broad, sculpted lines of his chest.Before I could utter a single word, his arm reached out, encircling my waist and pulling me flush against his hard chest.Shane lowered his head, closing the distance between our faces, his eyes flashing with a wild, ravenous heat. He leaned in to capture my lips in a de

Zoya's POVShane's warm breath blowing softly against my neck felt like a live current instantly paralyzing my nerves.I locked eyes with his dark, hooded gaze, which burned with raw, untamed hunger from mere inches away.I desperately wanted to slap his handsome, manipulative face, shove his broad chest with all my strength, and walk away from him and the Sterling family's web of lies forever.Yet my sanity held me back. I had no choice.The recorded conversation between Alex and his mother, along with the proof of their bribery involving the hospital doctor, were the ultimate bargaining chips I desperately needed today.That bastard knew his leverage all too well. He was deliberately trapping me behind my own ambition and thirst for revenge.Turning my face away slightly, I offered no verbal response to his provocative proposal, but I allowed my body to remain passive.I merely glared straight at him with a sharp look that concealed a million suppressed fires of rage.A subtle smirk

I clutched the thick brown envelope tightly against my chest. "I'm leaving now."I didn't offer a single word of thanks. What for? This evidence hadn't come free.I had bartered for it at an exorbitant price, my own body and my dignity.Whether the trade was worth it or not remained to be seen, but one thing was certain. The cunning man standing before me had profited immensely from my desperate situation."Let me take you," Shane offered, catching my arm to stay my steps."My driver can drop you right at the front entrance of your office building.""No need," I shot back instantly, my tone firm and unyielding."I am currently the center of attention in the company and across the media. I cannot afford even the slightest misstep.If anyone catches a glimpse of me stepping out of your car, it will hand Alex the perfect leverage to flip the narrative and bring me down."Shane nodded in understanding. He didn't press the matter further, fully aware of the high-stakes political environmen

I stared at Mia directly. "Mia, listen to me," I said, my voice calm yet bone-chillingly cold."Even without those medical results from the hospital, I wasn't deceived by their little performance for a single second. I saw them with my own eyes on that bed!I know precisely what they did behind my back. So why should I waste my energy hunting down medical reports just to confirm what I already know for a fact?"Mia knitted her brows. "Then why did you insist on forcing those hospital tests yesterday, even dragging the press into it?""My actions at the hospital were purely a bluff," I replied with a crooked smile."It was nothing more than a tactic to terrify them, send them into a full-blown panic, and publicly humiliate them before the media.I wanted the entire city to know there was a scandal brewing between them, regardless of what the medical records stated."Mia shook her head, still visibly struggling to wrap her head around it."But ma'am, if yesterday's test results had been

Alex's weak, trembling footsteps finally faded away behind the door of my private office.The moment his silhouette vanished completely, the sweet, practiced smile I had worn instantly melted away. In its place, a cold, sharp gleam ignited in my eyes.I pressed the button on my desk intercom without wasting a single second."Mia, get into my office right now," I commanded sharply.Within seconds, the door swung open softly. Mia stepped inside with an utterly conflicted expression, clutching a thick stack of files tightly to her chest."Yes, Madam? How can I help you?"I leaned back into my chair, pinning my personal assistant with a stern, unwavering gaze."Contact the PR team and the media division immediately. Set up a large-scale press conference for four o'clock this afternoon in the Main Ballroom of the Lumina Grand Hotel.""Invite every national media outlet, infotainment reporter, and prominent business analyst in the city."Mia's eyes widened in sheer disbelief."A press confe
