Chapter: CHAPTER TEN-- RAGEDave's POVThe quarterly reports blurred before my eyes, numbers dancing like mocking specters across the page. Each line spelled out the same truth: we were drowning. Three years of questionable decisions and risky ventures had finally caught up with Scott Enterprises. The company my father had built, the legacy I was supposed to protect—all of it slipping through my fingers.I admit, I have been slacking off on my duties, partying more, buying more diamonds for the women who caught my eyes. Anything to make their legs spread for me.However, I can't believe I let it get this bad. If this continues, the company might have to file for bankruptcy and I have no idea how I'm going to face my dad. He already thought I didn't have what it took to manage the company. Everyone thought the same. Collins had just always been better at everything."Mr. Scott?" Sarah's voice drifted through my dark thoughts. My assistant stood in the doorway, her lipstick freshly applied, blouse buttons done u

Chapter: CHAPTER NINE-- THE DECISION Ella's POVFreedom smelled like cardboard boxes and packing tape.My hands shook as I sealed another box, marking it "CLOTHES" in bold black letters. The morning sun streamed through our bedroom windows – windows I'd stared through countless nights, feeling trapped in this beautiful cage Dave called home while he desecrated our vows."We have two hours max," Lily said, efficiently wrapping my photo frames in bubble wrap, her lips set in determined lines. She has been an absolute rock through all these and I don't know what I'd do without her. "Mr. Chris wants to meet at 11:30. Are you sure about going through with this today?"I nodded, checking my burner phone again. 8:45 AM. Dave would be in his morning meeting until 11. "Dave saw the e-files Mr. Christ sent to my regular phone by mistake. There's no point waiting anymore – he knows I want out."Mr. Chris, my lawyer, a middle aged man with intelligent eyes and a kind smile, had been deeply sorry for sending the divorce papers to my

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT-- SUSPICIONSDave's POVThe call ended abruptly, leaving me staring at my phone in rage. No name, no number, just those words echoing in my head: "I have photos of your wife and the man she spent the night in a hotel room with."I looked up to find Collins and Ella standing awkwardly at the entrance, keeping their distance from each other. Something about their body language set off alarm bells in my head."What the hell is going on?" I stepped between them, studying their faces. "Uncle Collins, are those bruises healing well? You seem to be moving around just fine."Collins met my gaze steadily. "Unlike some people, I know how to take a hit.""And you, dear wife?" I turned to Ella, watching her fidget with her purse strap. "You seem awfully quiet this morning. Anything you want to tell me? You better tell me who you were with before I find out by myself.""Dave, stop it," Ella whispered, her eyes darting between Collins and me. "Your parents are waiting.""Oh, we have time." I moved closer to her

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVEN-- BREAKING POINT Ella's POVThe sound of shattering glass jolted me awake. I sat up in bed, my heart pounding, before realizing it was just another nightmare about the banquet. Three days had passed, but the image of Collins and Dave fighting wouldn't leave my mind. Neither would the look in Collins' eyes when he'd practically announced our indiscretion to everyone. I don't even want to think about Dave's rage. All in all, the last three days have been horrible."Bad dream?" Dave's voice made me freeze. He stood in the doorway of our spare bedroom, watching me with those cold eyes I'd grown to fear. Since the banquet, he'd barely slept, spending his nights pacing the house like a caged animal. His seriously bruised face, careful stance and bandage on his arm remind me how serious the fight had been. I don't know how Collins looks but I bet it's not as bad as Dave does."I'm fine," I whispered, pulling the covers tighter around myself."Of course you are." He walked to the window, yanking the curtains

Chapter: CHAPTER SIX-- THE AFTERMATHCollins' POV"How about you talk to your wife, why had she been staring at me also!" The words left my mouth before I could stop them. I saw Ella's eyes widen with panic, her fingers clutching her champagne glass so tightly I thought it might shatter. A sick satisfaction coursed through me. Let her worry. She'd played her games, and now she could deal with the consequences.Dave's grip on my collar tightened, his knuckles white with rage. "What the hell are you talking about?"I shouldn't have said anything. The memory of that night at the masked party flooded back unbidden – her body against mine, her moans, the shock when our masks came off. The same woman I'd dismissed three years ago as just another gold digger after our family's money.I remembered that first meeting clearly. She'd walked into the family gathering with practiced grace, all innocent smiles and perfect manners. Dave had been besotted, but I'd seen right through her act. Growing up in this world of wealth and privil

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE- THE BANQUET Ella's POVThe air inside the grand banquet hall was suffocating. The chandeliers sparkled, casting a golden glow over the sea of people, all dressed in their finest. I clutched my clutch bag tightly, forcing a polite smile as Dave’s hand rested possessively on the small of my back. It was an act, just like everything else between us.I wanted to be anywhere but here. The weight of the last few days still sat heavy on my chest. Every time I glanced at Dave, his calm, confident facade made my stomach churn. Did he really think he could drag me to this event, parade me around like some trophy, and all would be forgiven?“Ella,” Dave’s voice cut through my thoughts. He leaned in, his breath brushing my ear. “Remember what I told you. Smile. Be charming.”I nodded stiffly, swallowing the retort bubbling up in my throat. I had no energy for another argument, not here, not now.We approached a group of well-dressed men and women. Dave’s parents were among them, their smiles as polished as t
