Kirrily's POVThe revelation hung in the air like ozone after a lightning strike."If you and Lachlan had split cleanly, your shared assets would have been exposed in public courts. I knew you were framed. I didn't have proof at the moment of your exile, but I knew the timing was too convenient to be organic.""How?" I asked. "How could you possibly know?""Because I've spent forty years reading people," Bronte said. "And because the evidence against you was too perfect. Too clean. Real corporate espionage leaves loose ends, mistakes, and traces. The dossier Callan presented to Lachlan was flawless. Every account, every transaction, every digital footprint aligned perfectly. That's not how real crimes work. That's how fabricated ones work."I stared at her, stunned. "You suspected Callan from the beginning?""I suspected everyone," Bronte corrected. "Callan. The board members. Even Lachlan's closest advisors. But I couldn't move against them without proof. So I did what I could. I sta

The Midnight TruceKirrily's POVThe clock on my dashboard read 2:14 AM as I steered down the ramp into the underground parking structure of a neutral office building downtown.Lachlan had reached out to meet up with me.I cut the engine and sat in the dark for a moment, regulating my breathing, preparing myself.

I didn't look at him right away. My fingers hovered over the keyboard of my laptop, the blue light casting sharp

Lachlan's POVI couldn't believe that Kirrily had been my backbone all along; she was standing in the shadows, draining her own savings to buy my shares, protecting my throne from the wolves I had invited into my house."No," I choked, my hands flying to my hair as nausea rolled over me. The self-pity burned away, replaced by a white-hot self-loathing that felt like acid in my bones. "No, Kirrily, this can't be real. You wouldn't. After the way I treated you, after I threw you out into the rain.""I didn't do it for you, Lachlan," she said, her voice flat and cold. She didn't raise her voice. She didn't scream. Her calm was worse than any rage. "I did it because my pride wouldn't let strangers ruin what we built. Don't flatter yourself into thinking it was forgiveness.""I hated you," I whispered, the confession tearing from my throat, raw and ugly. I dropped my head into my hands, my shoulders shaking as tears, hot tears, finally broke through. "God help me, Kirrily. Every day I ha
