Grey's POVIt had been a while since I'd stepped into one of Brentwood 's technology branches.Kayden had been on my case for almost a week, reminding me that I needed to start making appearances again. Eventually, I gave in and picked the first working day of the week. Mondays were the best. Nobody expected the owner to walk through the doors when everyone was still settling into the week.I rarely visited any of the branches unless there was a reason.Lately, there had been one.Numbers in the reports weren't adding up. Small inconsistencies. The kind most people overlooked because they looked insignificant on paper. I didn't.People got careless when they believed the man signing their paychecks was too busy to look.I preferred proving them wrong.I didn't notify any of the executives of my visit. By the time word reached them, I was already inside the building.The effect was immediate.Conversations died. Shoulders stiffened. Smiles became forced. Everyone suddenly looked like t

Grey’s POVThe only reason I agreed to honor Amanda’s father’s invitation was because he was a tech guru, just like me. He owned companies both in and outside the country, and even though some of his businesses competed directly with mine, he had always treated me more like a son than a rival.I respected that.I respected people who built something from nothing. People who had ambition, took risks, and actually had something to show for it. Mr. Wilson had done all three.He had scheduled the dinner at his estate for eight that evening. Officially, it was just dinner but I knew it had nothing to do with food.It was about Amanda.I had known her long enough to recognize her tactics. She had a way of making things look innocent when they were anything but. She could probably convince half the room that the sky was green if she tried hard enough.She wasn't fooling me.Still, I had no reason to refuse.If they wanted to play their little game, I could play along.I drove straight from w

Grey’s POVI stood there without moving for several seconds, letting her words settle in my head.Love? That was the last thing Amanda knew the meaning of.I pretended I hadn't heard her. Because if I answered her now, I wasn't sure what would come out of my mouth. And I didn't want to become the kind of person who hurt someone simply because they had hurt him, then convinced himself he was justified.I wasn't her and I refused to be. Some things couldn't be undone after they happened. Apologies didn't erase them. Regret didn't change the past.Medicine after death.I turned away and took a step toward my car.“You left me at the altar one year ago.” Her voice stopped me. I closed my eyes briefly.“You humiliated me in front of everyone,” she continued, her voice beginning to crack. “I didn't hold that against you. My father didn't hold that against you. Don't you think we're even?”A dry, humorless laugh escaped me.I turned around slowly and tried to keep my expression calm, but the

Giselle’s POVI wasn’t expecting Kayden to call me again.We had both agreed that night was a one-night stand. Something that happened once and would never happen again. In fact, we had practically made a pact to pretend it had never happened.But when I saw his missed call on my phone, a small smirk tugged at my lips.Was he missing me already?The thought was ridiculous, but I couldn't stop the little thrill it sent through me.Men like Kayden didn't usually ask for the same woman twice. Or at least, that was what I had always believed.I wasn't around to pick up his call, but he hadn't given up. A few minutes later, his text came through.«Seems like you’re busy. Just called because I wanted to see you tonight. I’ll pick you up after work.»I read the message thrice because I liked the way it made me feel.I tossed my phone back into my handbag, trying to act like it wasn't a big deal. Well, work was already over, so he was probably outside waiting for me.I had barely finished gat

Amelia’s POVOver the next few weeks, nothing particularly dramatic happened.Grey didn't make any more appearances at the office, which left me feeling strangely relieved and disappointed at the same time.Relieved because I didn't have to worry about running into him unexpectedly.Disappointed because, despite everything I kept telling myself, a small part of me still wanted to see him.Sometimes, I caught myself wondering if he ever thought about me.Then I'd immediately shake the thought away.What was I even thinking?Grey was a billionaire. A man like him probably had women throwing themselves at him every other day. Beautiful women. Women without complicated lives, children, or a past they were constantly trying to outrun.A single mother like me wouldn't exactly be at the top of his list.I tried to be realistic about it.It was better that way.Work, however, was far more hectic than I had expected.My schedule became so packed that I had to hire a nanny to look after Lily un
