All Chapters of His Invisible Architect’s Revenge : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Natalie povThe morning sun hit the tall glass windows of the Blackwood Group headquarters. Although the sun was bright, I felt cold inside.I stood in the main lobby and looked around. The air smelled like cheap vanilla perfume and expensive floor wax, there were banners hung everywhere with black and gold silk floating from the high ceiling, marked with the giant wolf crest of the pack. The massive TV screens on the walls flashed picture after picture.One picture was of Adrian standing at a podium, another was of him cutting a ribbon and another was of Adrian shaking hands with rich pack leaders. He looked strong, he looked like the king that he was.I looked at every single picture. I searched and searched but I couldn't find myself in any of the. My reflection in the glass was the only place I existed. I looked small, dark circles sat under my eyes like purple bruises. I had not slept a single minute last night. While the rest of the pack slept, I sat at my desk with a desk la

Natalie pov "Adrian," I asked him one night when we were alone in his car. "Do you think... do you think we could be mates?"Adrian did not say no. He just pulled me close and kissed my forehead."We do not need the moon to tell us what we are, Natalia," he murmured against my hair. "You belong with me."I believed him. That belief became my entire world. It was the food that kept me going when I was tired. It was the shield that protected me when other wolves sneered at me in the hallways. I loved him with every single piece of my heart.A loud door slam brought me right back to the present.I blinked. The breakroom was still dark and quiet. My hands were shaking.I checked my watch. It was almost time for the big party.I stood up and smoothed my skirt. I had work to do. I pulled out a fresh leather folder from my bag.This was my special project. I spent six months working on it in secret. It was a five-year expansion plan that showed how Blackwood could safely push into territor

Natalie pov The glow of my laptop screen was the only light in the dark office. Outside, the city lights flickered, but my eyes were glued to the red-flagged document on the Blackwood server.My heart pounded a terrifying rhythm against my ribs. 'Marcus Ernest. Elena Ernest.' My parents.I stared at their names written under a heavy Blackwood security seal. My hands trembled as I clicked through the attached files, trying to pull up more information. Most of the text was covered in solid black ink. Sentences were crossed out, dates were missing, pages of financial records had been moved into deeply restricted pack archives that even my administrative code could not touch.Someone had scrubbed these records. They had spent a long time hiding something.I leaned back in my chair, pressing my cold palms against my burning eyes. All my life, I believed my parents died in a tragic rogue-wolf attack when I was seven years old. That was the official story the pack elders gave me. I was

Natalie POVI sat at my desk and pulled a blank document onto the screen, my fingers hovered over the keyboard. I stared at the blinking cursor, feeling a strange sense of calmness. The terrifying discovery about my parents had burned away every drop of sadness inside me, leaving nothing but a cold focus."You want to be a genius, Scarlett?" I whispered to the empty room. "Then I will make you sound like one."My fingers hit the keys, I wrote a masterpiece of high-level corporate finance. I filled the pages with complex economic terms, aggressive tax strategies, and deep legal frameworks. I made the speech sound exactly like the brilliant five-year expansion plan I had created.I knew Scarlett. She was a beautiful, powerful female, but she had never worked a day in a corporate office. When she stood on that stage tonight and read these words, the pack elders would be amazed. But if any of the smart investors asked her a single question about what she just read, she would not know the
