Chapter Thirty One: Rosa’s POV The scent of gasoline and dust reminds me of this city, not just the beauty, but the way I was treated badly. Now, they will regret their actions. They will see how wealthier, more powerful the wife of Donald Ronald, CEO of Hilly's company. The billionaire herself is. I was stepping back into my past with power. “Aha hah!” I chuckled, the sound echoed. My bodyguards glanced at me with surprise. I could tell they were wondering why I laughed.

I let the question exist without urgency. Then I ask another. Am I more myself than I was before? The answer is undeniable. Yes. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when it costs access. Even when it shifts the room. Especially then. Because power that depends on your compliance was never yours to begin with. True power isn’t loud. It isn’t imposed. It’s the quiet authority of not needing permission to be coherent. The chapter ends without applause. No dramatic win. No public recognition. Just an internal settling.

My nipples were already tight and aching against the fabric. His voice rolled through the hall, low and rough, the kind of voice that didn’t need to shout to own every inch of space. “Power is never given freely,” he said. “The most dangerous kind is the power you hand over willingly. The kind that makes you beg to give more.” My pussy clenched. Hard. I shifted in my seat and felt how wet I already was. *Fuck.* This was supposed to be an advanced seminar on ethics and human desire. Not whatever the hell this was doing to my body.

That counts for something, right? My name is Annalise McDermott. And for the record, I am a nerd. A hopeless romantic. A person who believes in love even when it clearly hates me back. This is my playbook, a chronicle of terrible timing, questionable decisions, and the kind of love that shows up when you least expect it, usually right after you've sworn you’re never falling in love again. So here is a little friendly advice: do not follow my advice. At least not until the very end.

“Oh wow. The dead rises.” “Barely,” I mutter, dropping my bag by the door. “Tonight was chaos.” “Lemme guess,” she says. “Henry cornered you again about his ‘entrepreneurship journey’?” I snort while kicking off my boots. “Yeah. Apparently I’m one motivational podcast away from financial freedom.” Troy laughs quietly without looking up. “You do look different tonight, though.” I freeze for half a second. “Different how?” He shrugs. “I dunno. Less homicidal than usual after work.”

“I control every part of your life. What you wear, what you eat, who you talk to, what you read, what you watch. Every message you send, every call you receive—I hear them. I read them. I know everything that enters your world.” “That is an invasion of privacy,” I said, my voice sharp. “It is illegal. It is wrong.” “Laws are made by people,” he said simply. “And I make the laws that matter. In this world, money and power are the only things that are real. And I have enough of both to do whatever I want. If you do not like it, you can leave. But you know you cannot. You know there is nowhere you can go that will protect you as I do.”

“Laws exist to guide our actions, to protect our rights and the rights of others. But some grow accustomed to power and believe they can bend the laws however they please, using them to control and harm people. That kind of arrogance is dangerous.” He looked at me with steady eyes. “Think about people like your principal. He misuses the authority the laws grant him to do as he pleases. But remember—one day, everyone’s status changes. Power is never permanent, whether in wealth, politics, emotion, or personal worth. Nobody stays unbeatable forever.” Father’s voice softened, “So, if someone like your principal misuses their power, you can respond with the authority you possess. Laws themselves

Sometimes— it watches. It waits. And when it finally moves…

“There is always more.” After breakfast, I was escorted; not confined, escorted to a study I hadn’t seen before. It was smaller than the war room but no less deliberate. Bookshelves lined the walls, filled with volumes on finance, psychology, geopolitics, and criminal law. A desk sat near the window, papers neatly stacked. Dominic gestured inside. “You’ll spend your mornings here.” I frowned. “Doing what?” “Learning how power is maintained,” he replied. “Not through violence, but through dependency.”
