Brielle's POV

Andrei's intense stare pins me. “You seem uneasy, Brielle What's wrong?”

My eyes dart away, taking in the breathtaking view. The rolling hills, lit up by the moon, are like a velvet painting come to life, and the Carter estate glows like a lantern against the dark backdrop.

Beautiful scenery, but I'm getting bad juju. Something's off, and it's freaking me out.

Andrei's gaze snaps back to mine, his eyes narrowing. “Don't conceal your fears, let me know if something's amiss.”

His hand slips behind the hem of his coat, his fingers vanishing from view as though he were tucking something away within its folds. It’s a discreet movement, almost imperceptible, but there’s an undeniable weight to it.

I shrug, eyes still scanning the surroundings. “Nothing, Andrei. Just paranoia.”

His eyes, dark and intense, bore into mine, questioning my sincerity.

I nod, trying to convince myself more than him. “Yeah, I'm good.”

“Sure?”

“Honestly, it's just a weird feeling I have,” I

    Ivy's POV. After hanging up with Andrei, I take a look around and shudder at the creepy atmosphere. The peeling paint, dusty furniture, and flickering lights make this place feel like a haunted house. But my gaze keeps drifting back to the door. It's a behemoth – thick, metal-reinforced, and intimidating. More like a gate than a door, really. I recall trying to secure it earlier… struggling to lift that heavy metal bar and slide the bolt into place. . I'm still catching my breath from that crazy escape. Liam and Eva were too busy arguing to notice me making a run for it. I took off like a shot, pounding up the stairs two at a time. That was either genius or madness. Eva went ballistic, firing three shots that narrowly missed. The woman's got a serious screw loose – Locking myself in here, I've temporarily dodged the bullet, but the clock's ticking. How soon can Andrei rescue me from this hellhole? Each passing moment feels like an eternity. Liam and Eva's fury intensifies, th

    THIRD PERSON "You're abandoning ship, Liam? Coward!" Eva's tailing Liam, her feet pounding the ground. He whirls around, his face set in a determined grimace. “This place is a death trap. Every minute we waste, we're one step closer to prison – or worse. You can stay here and rot if you want, but I'm not sticking around to take the fall for all this." “Our plan, our company — we've just started building this thing from scratch! What's going to happen to it all? It's all on the line_” “Fuck it! If you're gonna stay behind and babysit everything, then go for it! You do that shit! I'm ghosting,” Liam walks out, leaving Eva seething. She shoots him a parting glare, accompanied by a scathing curse. But she's not done yet. She's hot on his heels, her feet moving swiftly. “You think you can just bail on me? Think again, Liam.” He storms out of the dilapidated building, slamming the creaky door behind him. The place is a total dump. The surrounding woods are super eerie, wi

The estate's on high alert. I've reinforced the perimeter, stationed extra men around and sealed off all exits. Brielle's staying put, no arguments. I know she can be stubborn, but I won't budge. She'll remain safe at home while my team and I tackle this Ivy situation, no matter how deadly it gets.However, the latest update has my gut twisting. The location's been rigged with explosives.

    Andrei's POV I stand by the window of my office, gazing out at the city skyline. The bustling streets below seem to stretch on forever. My thoughts are lost in the urban landscape when Sarah's soft voice breaks the silence. “Sir, package just arrived.” I turn, and there's Sarah with this gorgeous bunch of roses. Thick, velvety petals in deep red and pink Sarah's cheeks flush as she places the flowers on my desk. “They're pretty. Meant for your wife, I presume? Who else deserves these three dozen beauties?” A smirk plays on my lips, my gaze drifting to the bouquet, “You think Brielle would love this?” “I think she'll love them. They're beautiful.” However, Someone else is getting lucky today, I hand Sarah the roses. “Stick these in the car, would you? I'm done for the day.'” *** I arrive at the hospital around 3 pm, just before visiting hours end. Standing in Jamie's doorway, I take in the serene scene.

    Brielle's POV I glance towards the entrance, and my heart skips a beat as Andrei stands there, his presence a welcome relief. Finally, he's home. But my attention quickly shifts to the unsettling scene unfolding before me. Helen's behavior is erratic, and I'm lost. She's been ranting about bad omens and curses, things that need to be “cleansed.” I exchange a bewildered glance with Andrei, his expression mirroring my confusion. I thought I knew Helen, but this superstitious side of her is unfamiliar. And who is this elderly man she's brought along? His presence only adds to the chaos. Andrei's face darkens, his eyes narrowing as he takes in the scene. He looks like he's about to explode. “Oh, Andrei, thank goodness you're here! We need your help to chase away the evil spirits…" Helen motions for him to follow. He keeps his eyes trained on me, gritting his teeth… Well, don't stare at me like that... “The Oracle's here,” she announces. “He traveled 120 miles just to get here.

    Brielle's POV Ivy's gaze pierces mine, and I feel my cheeks flush. “You, of all people, handling company finances? You can't even manage your own expenses.” I cringe inwardly. Why do I always bring my emotional luggage – and a side of financial chaos – to her perfectly organized life? “Marketing, Brielle. That's your expertise. Not accounting. What possessed you to take on that role?” I squirm under her scrutiny, shame washing over me. Andrei's offer had seemed like a vote of confidence, a sign that he trusted me. But now, I realize my ignorance. “Andrei suggested it,” I admit. Ivy's expression turns stern. “And you didn't question it? Didn't think twice about taking on a responsibility that's so far out of your league?” I shake my head, feeling a mix of embarrassment and defensiveness. “You have to tell Andrei or if things go south, it's gonna be on you. Or have you told him?” I wince, the weight of responsibility crushing me. Ivy's right, I have to tell Andrei. But how do

    Brielle's POV.The muscles in his jaw flex as he grinds his teeth, his deep brown eyes flashing with anger. Yet, in their depths, a spark of vulnerability flickers, hinting at a pain that goes beyond mere fury.“You're really going to cut and run? Just wake up one morning and decide you're done? No discussion, no compromise. Just… gone. You always do this, Brielle, don't you? You do whatever you want, whenever you want, and to hell with everyone else.”I shake my head firmly, my voice trembling with conviction. “That's not true, Andrei. I'm just doing what needs to be done.”“What needs to be done? Yeah. Leaving me, walking out on our agreement, that's what needs to be done_”He runs his fingers through his hair, pacing back and forth as he struggles to contain his emotions. “How… why would you even consider leaving me like this?

And that scares me because I'm not sure I can love anyone else like that. And Every time he breaks my heart, it feels like a piece of me dies, like a tiny spark of hope is extinguished forever. Early hours of this morning, I'd opened the door to a special delivery of heartbreak. I expected a fun, quirky surprise. But oh no, fate's got a twisted sense of humor, and the contents are more stomach-churning than a rotten egg salad sandwich. Inside the mysterious package, I find a photo album, complete with snapshots of Andrei and his new sidepiece, mugging for the camera like they were the happiest couple alive. And by 'happiest couple alive,' I mean they were tongue-deep in each other's faces. The more I stare at these pictures, the angrier I get. It's like staring into the fiery pits of hell, and I'm ready to throw a tan

    Andrei's POV When I look into Brielle's eyes, I see forever. This crazy, beautiful blue that just makes me feel alive. My heart's all aflutter, like a bird in a hurricane. I'm pretty sure I'm not dying or anything… although it feels like it. Must be love… or a heart attack. I'm staring into her eyes, and I swear, there's something off. A tiny ripple in the calm waters. But before I can put my finger on it, she's turning around, and She's just… walking away. No words, no nothing. Just her back, getting farther and farther away. Just what I needed to complete my evening: a healthy dose of rejection and a strong sense of self-doubt. “You're just gonna ditch me like yesterday's trash?” I ask, trying to sound cool, but really, I'm just dying inside. “One minute we're fine, the next you're walking away. What am I supposed to do? Just stand here and watch you disappear?” She hesitates, one foot on the threshold, as if unsure whether to flee or surrender. The pause is a vulnerable,

    Andrei's POV Odessa's advice is simple and to the point: don't listen to Jeremy's bullshit. Don't fall for his lies. Don't take the blame for something he did. That's what she's trying to drill into my skull. If I take the rap, I'd be orchestrating a spectacular downfall — complete with a cameo appearance by the Grim Reaper, a supporting role by Regret, and a grand finale of Lifetime Imprisonment. I'm not going down that path, no way, no how. I've got a family, a legacy, a son who looks up to me like I'm some kind of superhero. And that's what I have to be, not some sacrificial lamb to appease the false gods of justice. I'm no martyr. I'm not going to roll over and play dead just to appease the system, to keep the peace. That's not who I am. Then again, The thought of Paul getting railroaded is eating away at me. His family's counting on him, and if he goes down, they'll be the ones who suffer.

    Andrei's POV The Carter Cabinery sits in the foothills, a haven of solitude and seclusion. It's a sprawling structure of timber and stone, its rough-hewn beams and sloping roof blending seamlessly into the forest landscape, as if it had grown there. My great-grandfather built this place with his own two hands. And my father, he added to it, made it into something more. Five years old. That's when the darkness crept in. That's when my life changed, irrevocably, forever. Mom died. Just like that. One minute she was there, the light of my world, the other half of my heartbeat, and the next…gone. Visits to the cabin were always a treat. I remember the smell of my grandfather's pipe, the way he'd tell stories of his adventures in the woods. I remember the sound of my dad's laughter, the way he'd spin me around in circles, making me dizzy with delight. It was during those idyllic summers spent here that I first met Jeremy. Dad had adopted him, but he hung out with grandpa for a

    Andrei's POV. “You'd better be listening, Carter. I'm only going to say this one time_” With a swift jab of my finger, I end the call, silencing the toxic tirade that had been polluting my airwaves. The smug voice, the arrogant demands, the sickening knowledge—all of it, silenced. My feet hit the floor, my coat a blur of black as I snatch it up. I'm out the door, abandoning the suffocating atmosphere of my study. Brielle’s eyes are burning holes in my back. She’s watching me, waiting for an explanation, a sign that everything is okay. I can’t give it to her. Can’t face her, can’t look her in the eye. I'm paralyzed, unable to face the devastation I've caused. Beholding the mayhem is like seeing a wildfire rage out of control. Maybe our love's the fuel that's feeding the flames — time to starve the fire and walk away, leaving behind the only thing that’s ever made me feel alive. I hear her sobbing. It’s a knife to the heart, twisting and turning, carving out a piece of me with

    Andrei's POV. I channel my inner bedtime butler, complete with a fancy tuck-and-pull motion. I give Brielle the works: extra-fluffy pillow, soothing pat on the head, and a blanket pulled up to her chin because clearly, I've been demoted to bedtime nanny. 3:59 am: the time it takes for her sleep-deprived brain to finally surrender to the sandman, leaving me to stand guard, listening to the symphony of her snores… She's out cold, a sleeping beauty with a face that's equal parts adorable and alluring. Those luscious lashes, the gentle curve of her lips, the soft tangle of her hair… The vibration in my pocket is a cold dose of reality, a reminder that the clock is ticking. I've been waiting for this call, but the unknown variables are what's got me on edge. I step into the hallway, phone glued to my ear. My eyes scan the shadows, my senses on overdrive, “I'm listening,” “Carter, you're going all-in. You're gonna transfer your assets to me. And I ain't talking pennies here. Yo

    Brielle's POV Hawaii's supposed to be a relaxing vacation, for my parents, but for me, it's turning into a never-ending cycle of worry. Mom's phone keeps going straight to voicemail. No calls, no texts, no 'Aloha, darling!' selfies. It's like a full moon, a red sky at dawn, a black cat crossing your path—you just know something's up. I'm phone-stalking, waiting for her call to light up the screen… but it's just not happening. I force down the lump in my throat and head to the kitchen for a glass of water. My nerves are fried, and I'm getting the shakes. I glance at the clock, hoping to distract myself from the tremors in my hands. 3am. Still awake. Still anxious. 'Mom, Dad, just give me a sign of life. I'm starting to picture you being brainwashed by a group of coconut-wielding, hula-dancing fanatics_' My muttered curse is accompanied by a deep, frustrated breath.

    Jeremy's POV Enter Jones. Don't let his age fool you – the man's a certified brainiac. He settles in, and We get down to brass tacks, discussing the details. “I'm cutting ties with Andrei for good and taking full control of the two companies I snatched from him. I'm consolidating my ownership with a vertical integration strategy, aiming for a 100% stake with zero ties to the Carter empire. I'm expecting Andrei to try rallying his allies or attempting a hostile takeover, but I'm ready. I've got my lawyer drafting a bulletproof shareholder agreement and setting up a poison pill strategy to block any takeover attempts.” The old man listens intently, demonstrating a clear grasp of the situation. He takes meticulous notes as I outline my plan. “I'll be darned, Jeremy. You're one of those 'new-fangled' thinkers, aren't ya? I swear, you're so smart, you make me feel like I just fell off the turnip truck.” A lopsided grin spreads across my face, oozing self-assurance. I've got all th

These morons can be as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes, and the effort it takes to get through to them has my temper running hotter than a desert sun.

The airport is primarily a regional hub, with limited security, which should make our operation smoother than a freshly ironed aloha shirt."
