AVAI opened the door already angry.Not because I wanted to see Alexander.Because I had spent the last hour driving home from my mother's house with my head full of contradictions, and then I'd stood in my apartment trying to decide whether to call Hunter and ask him whether he knew any of them.Instead, Alexander was standing outside my door.He looked at me.I looked at him.“You have terrible timing.”His eyes moved over my face.“How did it go?”I laughed without humor.“You're asking about the meeting with my mother?”“Yes.”“It wasn't a meeting.”“What was it?”“A fight.”Something in his expression changed.“What happened?”“She lied.”“About what?”“Everything.”I stepped away from the door.He remained outside.I stared at him.“Are you coming in or are you planning to make my neighbors think I'm having a conversation with a ghost?”He walked in.I shut the door.For several seconds, neither of us spoke.Then he looked at the phone in my hand.“You were calling Hunter.”“Ye

AVAHunter, we are siblings.I stared at the message after sending it.My heart hammered against my ribs.The three dots appeared.Disappeared.Appeared again.Then vanished completely.For almost a minute, there was no response.I could imagine him reading it.Reading it again.Wondering whether I'd lost my mind.Then my phone buzzed.What?I swallowed.I did a DNA TEST today.Another message.Why would you do that ?.It is along story No. Ava, Thats why you were out with that man ?I closed my eyes.This isn't about him,i talked with my mum yesterday.The reply came almost immediately.Explain.I sat farther back into the sofa.My fingers trembled over the screen.Daniel is my father.There was no response.I waited.Then:What Daniel?I stared at that question.The answer felt like a sentence that could destroy two lives simultaneously.Your father.The typing indicator appeared.It remained for several seconds.Then:No.Another message.My father is Daniel.Yes.And he's your f

AVAFor several seconds after Alexander said it, I simply stared at him.“Be ready to pay for uttering those words.”The threat settled over the room.Hunter looked ready to respond.I raised a hand.“No.”Both men looked at me.“I don't want another argument.”Alexander's jaw tightened.Hunter remained silent.I turned toward Alexander.“Whatever you think you're going to do, do it somewhere else. I have work.”His eyes narrowed.“You're really going to work after this?”“Yes.”“Ava...”“Goodbye, Alexander.”He stared at me for another moment.Then he walked out.The door shut.Hunter remained standing near the sofa.I exhaled.“I need coffee.”He almost laughed.“After all that?”“Especially after all that.”He shook his head.“You're unbelievable.”“I have to get dressed.”He glanced at the clock.“You have twenty minutes.”“Exactly.”I disappeared into the bedroom before he could say anything else.By the time I came back, Hunter had gathered the dishes from the night before.“You

AVABy the time I reached the pharmaceutical headquarters, the city was fully awake.Traffic crawled along the avenue, pedestrians spilled across every crossing, and the morning seemed determined to move at the same indifferent pace it always did.I parked, collected my bag and walked into the building.For the first time since Daniel had announced the ownership transfer, I noticed just how different the place felt.People stood when I entered certain rooms.Meetings that previously required invitations suddenly appeared on my calendar.Senior staff members who had barely acknowledged me the week before now greeted me with carefully measured respect.It should have been satisfying.Instead, I found it strange.I still remembered sitting at one of those desks while coworkers whispered about how I had somehow skipped the recruitment process.Now half the people whispering had to report to me.The thought almost made me smile.I stepped into the finance department.“Morning.”A few voice

AVAAlexander's penthouse was the kind of place that made silence feel expensive.Floor-to-ceiling windows wrapped around the living room, turning the city below into a glittering maze of lights. The furniture was sparse but impossibly elegant, everything arranged with the deliberate precision of someone who disliked clutter and had enough money to make empty space look luxurious.I stood barefoot near the windows with my phone in my hand, staring at the city.For the first time in days, I had a little room to breathe.No board members.No calls from my mother.No reports waiting to be signed.No journalists.No arguments.Just me.And Alexander.He was somewhere deeper inside the penthouse, speaking to someone on the phone.I looked down at my screen.The group chat had been sitting untouched for nearly two days.There were hundreds of unread messages.Bella had sent most of them.I smiled.“God help me.”I tapped the call button.Bella answered almost immediately.“AVA!”I laughed.
