"I told you guys not to mention her." The room fell silent. Someone quickly changed the subject to ease the tension. Luke slid into the seat beside me. Under the table, his fingers found mine, squeezing gently. He leaned in and whispered, "She is history. You're the one I'm with now." Just then, the door swung open.

He quickly disconnects the wires when he fails to use the device to turn it off. "You are not a serious man Mr. Spencer. You called us here to make a joke of us or something? We work with time, we came here to strike a deal and sign a contract, not to watch a sex tape" I get up from my seat and pick my handbag "Unfortuantely, the contract is revoked. We can't sign with you" "But that is not possible. You should give me another chance" The others get up from their seats as well, picking their files and walking out.

“I just try to stay steady for you, because I know what happens to both of us if neither of us does.” She leaned into me then, and I held her there in the study, the ledger page still glowing faintly on the screen behind us, twenty-two years of buried arrangement staring back at us with no explanation attached yet, only the shape of one more secret waiting to be understood. “We should call Marcus,” she said eventually, though she didn’t move. “In a minute,” I said. “Let’s just have the minute first.”

And that alone answered his question. “Mom.” “What?” “You’re hiding something.” “I am not.” “Whenever you say that, you usually are.” That made her smile because she knew he was right. Elena folded her hands in her lap. “The people I told you about. Evelyn Sinclair and her daughter, Serena. We arranged a dinner already.” Callum stared at her for a moment. “You planned this without asking me?” “I knew you would say no.” “That should have been your first sign not to do it.”

That was enough for Seungcheol to make him stay on guard. "Yes," Seungcheol answered. "She is my minute." No one would understand it, unless Seungcheol added that they need to remove letters "U" and "T" to get the message.

The meeting was over before it started. We returned to the office in silence. Once inside, I headed straight to my father’s office. “The Minister collapsed,” I informed him. “We’ll need to reschedule.” “I’ll reach out to him later,” my father said with barely a glance up. I nodded and turned to leave. Back in my office, the dreaded stack of pending files awaited. I didn’t waste time. My signature was a loaded gun—one mistake, and we could lose millions.

Gianni's POV The sound of my best friend Luna's favorite TV show was playing while I was arranging my things for work when my younger sister Arabella entered the living room with a familiar envelope in her hands. What was Arabella doing with that? I moved past Luna and I rushed to grab the envelope from her hands. "Student loan, unpaid hospital bills, what the fuck are all these?"

she questioned, her brow furrowing as she searched for answers. A sudden realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the truth hidden beneath layers of deceit. Her eyes widened with shock, pupils dilating as the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. The flush of embarrassment crept up her cheeks, painting her face with a rosy hue as the gravity of Anderson's actions sank in. With a hushed breath, Cassie uttered her revelation, her voice barely above a whisper, yet laced with incredulity. "So Anderson was secretly meeting with Sarah at the hotel," she murmured, the words hanging in the air like a heavy veil of betrayal.

I gasped as I scanned the tree lines for anything. A howl ripped through the night as I ran inside and grabbed Adaline. I laid her in the safe room in the office room that my parents installed when I was a young pup and not able to fight. I laid her down and locked her in. Only her and I knew the code. I ran back outside only in time to see our border patrol and royal guard in wolf form running to where we were. "Rogues." Jackson spit out, "Go ahead with Adaline. I can't lose you again."

the secretary hesitated “Meaning?” Cole asked “It traces back to someone with executive clearance.” the secretary said, meeting Cole’s gaze, “What are their names?” he demanded “There are only a few people with that level of access," he said, taking a deep breath “I want to hear them," he demanded further "Miss Ana was one of them," he said, his voice cracking.
