“You weren’t acting like that when you were moaning my name in that hotel room”
Heat shot through my body at his teasing remark. I gulped, trying to stay strong. “That was a mistake and you know it”
Nathan chuckled, his dark eyes glinting with amusement. “Was it? Because I remember you clinging onto me… begging me not to stop”
“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” I whispered, almost breathless as he trailed his fingers down to my jaw, tilting my face upwards.
“What I enjoy is knowing that no matter how much you try to fight it, your body remembers me” The last words were a whisper against the skin of my neck.
My breath caught in my throat. “My mother is in the next room”
Nathan smirked. “Then you better keep quiet.”

Chapter: Chapter 86. The DriveStanding at her elegant mahogany desk, Anita felt the weight of the power she suddenly possessed pressing down on her chest. She had the authority to run the business and the empire that had previously belonged to Nathan, but that authority also came with the burden of tearing it down and starting over, brick by brick. The future would be shaped by every choice she made going forward. Standing upright in front of the board, she had already demonstrated her worth, but that was just the start. She was startled out of her daydream as her phone buzzed on the desk. When she noticed the caller ID, she paused her fingers as she reached for it. Daniel. This was what she had anticipated. Daniel's voice crackled over the phone, "Anita." "There is a circumstance. It's urgent. You must hear this firsthand.The anxiety she had been repressing began to creep up her spine as her heart skipped a beat. "What's happening?" "It concerns Harry." Anger rose in her chest as her pulse accelera

Chapter: Chapter 85. The Reigns BeginAs the sun sank below the horizon and the city was bathed in an orange glow, the penthouse was eerily quiet. With the city's lights glimmering like far-off stars, Anita stood in front of the enormous windows. However, the vista began to feel more like a battlefield than a privilege. She was reminded of the empire she now ruled and the power that accompanied it by every shadow and light flicker. She didn't know when she had gone too far, when she had ceased to grieve for Nathan and begun planning her next course of action, but it had happened. The grieving had shifted to resolution sometime between viewing the files and realising the stakes.Everything Nathan had left behind had been given to her. All the nasty secrets. All of the shady deals. All the truths she had been denied. The world would suddenly be aware of it. There was no turning back. She had gone too far. Those who believed they could control, manipulate, and exploit Anita Grant would soon discover the hard way

Chapter: Chapter 84. The Ashes still speakEverything was silent. Too silent. As the last echoes of the explosion vanished into the darkness, Anita stood at the edge of the flaming debris, her body shaking. The structure that had once stood for Nathan's empire, his legacy, and his castle was now reduced to a charred skeleton of ash and twisted steel. She was unable to hear the distant cries of emergency sirens. Smoke spiralled into the sky like mourning veils, and all she could hear was the harsh, uneven sound of her own breath. He had returned for her. after which she was barred out. Her voice was hoarse from yelling his name, and her palms were scraped raw from beating on the sealed exit. He never did, however, open the door.Since he never meant to. She muttered, "Nathan," as though the wind might take her words back in time, past the debris and the fire, to the man who had given all up. Security, firefighters, and medical personnel moved around her, but she remained still. The edges of the world were blurred.

Chapter: Chapter 83. After the smokeShe was followed by the smoke. Smoke clung to her skin, her hair, and her thoughts even after the building collapsed, after the sirens screamed, and after a guard who was only devoted to Nathan pulled her from the turmoil. Ash was like mascara on her lashes. She left it in place. She was immobile. Not at all. As firefighters doused the already-dead with water, she watched from the other side of the yellow tape. Like a last curse, the vault's bones continued to smoulder and spew black clouds into the night. Twisted metal shrieked as it cooled, and steel bent where it shouldn't have.They referred to it as an accident. A spill of gas. electrical malfunction. There were rumours that it was terrorism. Some believed it to be sabotage. The contents of Nathan's vault were largely unknown. Only she. She also suspected she didn't know everything. She wrapped her fingers around the flash disc. A security guard with shaking hands and terrified eyes had put it into her palm. He h

Chapter: Chapter 82. Beneath the AshesLike ravenous tongues, the flames licked the ceiling, consuming steel, glass, and wood without distinction. With each inhale, Nathan's lungs filled with bitter, scorching smoke, but he continued. couldn't. Anita had been shut out by him. As the fire burned all around him, that was the only idea keeping him anchored to reality. His gaze was tormented by her face, which was pale in the flickering emergency lights. She had been looking at him with anger, betrayal, and fear, but she was still trying to find anything valuable in him. He had not allowed her to remain. Because she would have perished if she had. Like a phantom, he navigated the top chambers of the vault, avoiding crumbling beams and passing broken monitors and overturned furniture. He was aware that every second was borrowed time now. But he had one last thing to do, one last message to deliver. Nathan arrived at the command terminal. With sparks exploding from its console like dying stars, it was half-destroyed. Neverthele

Chapter: Chapter 81. The Empire Burns8Smoke curled against the shattered glass and blazing emergency lights as it moved through Grant Enterprises' higher floors like ghosts. Anita could hardly hear the distant sirens shrieking. She had a louder heart. Silent, numb, and confused, she navigated the maelstrom like a phantom herself. Nathan had left. Gone into whatever hell his past had brought back to life, into the darkness, into the flames. She had known as soon as the vault door had banged behind her. He was not accompanying her. Carter had claimed that he was buying time. However, it felt like sacrifice to Anita.Behind her, there was a thundering explosion that rocked the earth. She slipped and slammed into the chilly executive corridor marble wall. She had trembling hands. It was from something much more dangerous than fear—no, she had long since given up being terrified. Sadness. rage. Love. Betrayal. She had been shut out of the truth as well as the vault by Nathan. of him. She became acutely aware
