Novels by Zoey Walker

Selene's POVI was struck with the enormity of what was going to happen as soon as I entered the boardroom. Although the polished floors shone in the gentle illumination, the rooms' sleek pricey furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows gave off an air of detachment much like everything else in the game. That was appropriate. I had been preparing for this moment for years and now I was finally in charge. Neither Seth nor Chloe knew what was going to happen. When I entered they had already taken their seats, their gazes lifted from the papers strewn across the conference table.As she gazed at me Chloe's exquisitely manicured smile momentarily wavered. Seth attempted to maintain an expressionless expression as usual but I could see the glimmer of recognition in his eyes. I could tell he knew this would not be a casual meeting by the moment he hesitated before his jaw tightened. Chloe said in a tone that was a combination of surprise and phony composure. “This is unexpected’’ .I didn't

Selene's POV I had always taken great satisfaction in maintaining my composure. Regarding everything. My plans, my business, my feelings. This empire was something I had carefully constructed and nothing or no one could bring it down. Not Chloe, not Seth and most definitely not my emotions. I was not going to let the advantage slip away from me. So I believed. It took place on a Thursday afternoon. I had just concluded a meeting with Victor. I could almost taste Seth and Chloe’s demise and our alliance was growing stronger every day. I began to believe that nothing could stop me from pursuing the plan. Then I saw something that broke everything. I was reviewing the most recent financial forecasts at work when I noticed a familiar face outside my penthouse office window. Jason. He was talking to someone while approaching a car with his hand on the door. I initially didn't give it much thought. However I later recognized the other individual. Seth. I watched them freeze, my heart po

Selene's POV.Every one of the city lights that flickered beneath me like far-off stars as I sat in my penthouse served as a reminder of the immense power at my fingertips. Everything I had fought for including my plans, my empire and my retaliation was bearing down on me.However Seth and Chloe were the one thing that prevented me from winning hands down as usual. They gave me everything I wanted but they also caused me irreversible pain.Years had been spent carefully preparing how I would dismantle them one by one and now the time had come. But as I sat there the buzzing of my phone broke the stillness and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the name on the screen.It wasn't a name I anticipated hearing again. It was Victor Hale. As someone who had been burned by Seth and Chloe’s manipulations long before I was, Victor was an old enemy of theirs. He had connections, money and a reputation for being brutal making him a significant player in the fashion industry. Years had passed sin

Selene's POVI didn't anticipate this happening. It felt almost alien to me that anything—or anyone—other than my carefully planned retaliation would enter my life after all these years of intense concentration on it. But Jason was unique. Jason was flawless.He was steady where I was erratic and serene where I was flaming. In the chaos that had become my life, he was a constant presence. And the more I gave myself permission to spend time with him the more I became aware of how much I was starting to like him.I was beginning to fall deeply in love with him. In the back of my mind however, I knew that the woman I was now—the one in charge, the one who had fought her way to the top—could not afford to show weakness. Not to Jason. To no one. I couldn't let go of the strategic accuracy and control that I had used to build my empire. Not when I was this close to achieving all of my goals. The fact that Jason had been patient with me only made it more difficult for me to break up with h

Selene's POVAs I made my way to the conference room, the sound of my heels clicking reverberated through the marble corridor. My steps were confident and measured as they ought to be. Long shadows are cast on the boardroom's sleek contemporary furnishings by the afternoon sun's soft filtered light from the large windows that line the walls.I had been gradually building this empire and today I was going to write another important chapter. I had been putting in a lot of overtime behind the scenes to get ready for this. Establishing my position as a significant player in the fashion industry would be greatly aided by this agreement and collaboration. But it was more than just business. It had to do with power. About command. About being able to control the very people who had attempted to destroy me at last. The conference room door opened and I walked in instantly filling the room with my presence.With his back to me Jason stood near the window gazing out at the expansive city below

Selene's POV Although the night should have felt like a victory, my mind kept going back and forth about seeing Seth and Chloe again while I lay in the chilly emptiness of my hotel room. The recollection of their faces; Chloe's barely concealed disgust and Seth’s composed almost contemptuous look made my chest feel heavy. Five years had passed since they had destroyed everything and yet here I was in front of them stronger and more capable than ever. But it didn't seem sufficient. My anger which I believed to have been buried came back to me. Although I had painstakingly planned my life and rebuilt my world from the ashes of what they had destroyed, the anger I had buried deep inside me erupted when I saw them again. I paced my suite floor mentally reliving the exchange repeatedly as I attempted to make sense of the conflicted feelings that were consuming me. I could still hear Seth say “Selene you look different.”“Do you think you're better than me?” Chloe had shameless asked.
