*****************Aubrey's pov********************

As I strode into the boardroom, my heels clicked sharply against the marble floor, a sound that rumbled throughout the room and announced my presence with authority.

Every step I took oozed with confidence, my tailored black suit perfectly highlighting my strong and commanding figure. My hair was flawlessly pulled back into a sleek ponytail.

The assembled executives fell into uneasy silence as I made my way to the head of the table. With a quick scan of their faces, it was clear that they were all on edge under my piercing gaze. I didn't need to say a word for them to understand who was in charge here.

"Good morning," I said in a firm voice, cutting through the tension like a knife. "I trust everyone has thoroughly reviewed the latest performance metrics I sent out."

One of the senior managers, Jim, cleared his throat nervously. "Yes, Ms. Brown, but—"

I raised a hand to silence him. "I don't want to hear excuses. I want to know why our

    ****************Aubrey's pov******************As the plane lowered onto the runway, a tumultuous wave of emotions surged within me—sadness, strength, determination. The wheels touched down with a gentle thump, but my mind was anything but calm.Returning to this place felt like walking into the eye of a storm that had nearly destroyed me, yet I was no longer the vulnerable person who had left three years ago. I was now a tempered and resilient force.Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself of my purpose for coming here: to reclaim everything that was taken from me and to exact the vengeance I had meticulously plotted.The moment I stepped off the plane, the familiar scent of the city enveloped me. It was a bittersweet sensation, reminding me of all the memories associated with this place. But those memories were now tainted with bitterness, serving as fuel for my burning desire for justice."Sophia!" I called out, spotting her waiting for me at the arrivals gate. She looked just as I

I had built a successful company from the ground up, and now I was ready to make a name for myself in the competitive business world."Welcome home," Sophia said with a knowing smirk, gesturing towards the grand entrance.I couldn't help but laugh, shaking my head in disbelief.

    ****************Aubrey's Pov***************He narrowed his eyes at me with a clenched jaw as if he was trying to figure out what was going through my head.However, he won't be able to this time. He can't read my face or my mind ever again."You're really brave for waltzing in here just like that. I'm really impressed," He smirked with a dark glare, though I could tell that he was really surprised by seeing the change in my appearance and attitude. "But do you really think, tossing around some cheap money can let you go?""Yes, Ryder, I do," I replied coolly, crossing my arms over my chest. "Because that's exactly what's going to happen. I've got the $50 million you demanded. I'll give it to you, and you'll sign the papers. It's as simple as that."A flicker of satisfaction passed through me at the thought of finally being free from this toxic marriage.His hard and displeased eyes met mine, and I could feel his anger radiating from them."You really think you can just walk away from

    ******************Aubrey's pov*********************He circled my chair like a predator stalking his prey, the click of his expensive shoes against the polished floor resonating in the room. His body hovered behind me, a dark shadow that seemed to swallow me. I could practically feel his hot breath on my neck as he leaned in closer, his hands resting on head rest of my chair."You've made three grave mistakes, Aubrey," he murmured, his voice dripping with menace and malice. The low, threatening tone sent chills down my spine. "First, you dared to ask for a divorce when I gave you a life most could only dream of. Second, you kept the news of my child from me. And third..." His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper as he pressed his lips to my ear. "Third, you ran away while you were still my wife."My body tensed at his words. Three years of hardening myself against him couldn't be undone by a few whispered threats.His hand that were possessive and warm, trailed lightly over my arm, se

His eyes were dark as if daring me to defy him.He moved closer to me again, his voice dangerously soft. It sent shivers down my spine, a warning of the danger that lurked beneath his smooth demeanour."Not nonsense but the price of your freedom," he said, each word dripping with malice and control looking deeply in my eyes. "One year, Aubrey. You come back to me, live with me, sleep with me, be my wife in every sense of the word." His lips curled into a predatory smile. "Then, and only then, will I give you what you want."I stared at him, my mind racing to comprehend the sheer absurdity of his demand. Did he really think I would agree to this? The man who had treated me like a possession, who had lied, manipulated, and broken me? Now he wanted me to come back, to share his bed, his life, as if nothing

    *************Aubrey's POV**************Ryder's smirk remained plastered on his face, but I could see it—the slight narrowing of his eyes, the way his gaze sharpened as if trying to dissect me. He was suspicious, and rightfully so. I had just agreed to something that would make any sane person recoil in disgust.He stepped closer as he tried to tower over me. But I didn't flinch, didn't let him see the discomfort curling at the edges of my thoughts. Instead, I met his gaze with a steady calm and indifference that I knew would drive him crazy."You're awfully quick to agree," he said, his voice laced with suspicion. "What's your angle, Aubrey?"I let a slow, deliberate smile creep across my lips. "Do I need an angle? Maybe I've just accepted my fate. Maybe I'm tired of fighting. Or maybe"—I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice to a conspiratorial whisper—"I'm just that desperate to be free of you."His stormy grey eyes flickered with anger. I couldn't decipher them all, but I knew one

    **Aubrey's POV**I sat in Gregory's lavish office. My hands were clasped together tightly in my lap. He stood by the large window, his back turned to me. I could feel the tension rolling off of him in waves, his disappointment clear even before he opened his mouth."Gregory…" I started, my voice soft but firm, wanting to get it over with. "I went to see Ryder. We talked, and…I agreed to his terms."He didn't turn around. His body remained stiff as if he was trying to control his emotions. The silence stretched on painfully, and for a moment, I wished he would just say something.Anything.I have told him everything that me and Ryder talked and agreed upon.Finally, he sighed, turning around to face me, his expression cold and unreadable. "So, you agreed to play his wife for a year?"I nodded, feeling a knot form in my stomach. "Yes. It's the only way, Gregory. The closer I am to him, the more I can learn…the more chances I'll have to ruin him."He leaned back against his desk, folding

I could feel the weight of their stares—men who believed they knew better simply because of their gender and experience.I stood at the head of the table, my presence commanding the room, and glanced down at the stack of reports in front of me. It was time to make the announcement."As many of you may have heard," I began, my voice steady, "I've accepted the role of Vice President at Wolfe Inc."The reaction was immediate. A ripple of discomfort washed over the room, and I could see the shareholders exchange glances with each other, their eyebrows raised in disbelief. I could practically feel their objections coming.Sure enough, one of them, Mr. Hampton, an older man with silver hair and an overly smug expression, spoke first."Ms. Aubrey," he said with a patronising smile, leaning forward slightly in his chair, "while we respect your capabilities here at Devereux Jewelry, I have to question your decision.

    Aubrey's pov ;I stormed through the office doors, my heart thundering in my chest. The sun had barely risen, but I couldn't wait another second. My designs, the ones I had poured my heart and soul into, were gone.And the wedding—the wedding of the year—was just days away."Sophia!" I called out the moment I entered. She was waiting for me by the reception desk, her face pale and anxious."Aubrey, I'm so sorry—""How could this happen?" I cut her off, my voice sharp and frantic. "How could the designs just go missing?""I don't know," she said, wringing her hands together, "but I've checked everywhere—""Clearly not everywhere!" My tone was harsher than I intended, but I couldn't help it. The panic had wrapped itself around me like a vice, tightening with every second that ticked by.She flinched but held her ground. "I did check. We've searched all the offices, the archives, the backup files—everything's been wiped clean. I even tried restoring old files from last week, but they're

    Aubrey's pov ;I was stirring the sauce, the aroma of garlic and herbs filling my kitchen when the doorbell rang. I frowned, glancing at the clock. It was late, and I wasn't expecting anyone.My first thought was Ryder, but he knew the passcode to my house. Why would he be playing games by ringing the bell?The doorbell rang again, this time more urgently.I groaned, wiping my hands on a dish towel. "What the hell, Ryder?" I muttered under my breath. He really knew how to get on my nerves. I cursed him as I made my way to the door, ready to give him a piece of my mind for being annoying.But when I pulled the door open, it wasn't Ryder.I blinked, surprised. Standing on my doorstep, looking as regal and furious as ever, was my mother.Her eyes immediately narrowed at the sight of me. "Why did you do it?" she demanded, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.I closed the door behind her and turned to face her with a raised brow. "Do what, exactly?" I asked, leaning casually

"Now that you've got what you wanted, don't forget—when the time comes, you'll need to help me too."I paused and glanced back at him, a smile curling on my lips. "Of course. I always keep my promises."He grinned and gestured toward the chair in front of him. "Why don't we discuss the plan again? Since you're so happy today, I want to make sure you do exactly what I need at that dinner party."I raised an eyebrow but walked back to the chair, sitting down and crossing my legs. He leaned forward, his eyes locking with mine, a confident smirk playing on his lips. It was clear he'd already thought this through."We need to make it believable," he began, leaning his elbows on the desk as he continued to study my expression. "At the dinner, you'll stay close to me. No wandering off, no aloof behavior. Davidson needs to believe we're a perfect couple, head over heels for each other.

    Aubrey's pov ;The week had flown by like a gust of wind. I barely had time to blink, let alone breathe, with the workload that had been thrown at me.Between handling my own company, overseeing the progress of my father's soon-to-be-former company, and preparing for the clients' wedding pieces, I was moving at full speed—nonstop.The wedding necklaces were one of the most significant projects I had ever undertaken.Every single design was intricately unique, each piece handcrafted with rare gems and delicate metals, with the kind of precision that demanded hours of concentration. The stakes were sky-high, both financially and reputation-wise.I was paying an enormous amount upfront to secure the finest materials—diamonds that glittered like stars, emeralds with deep, mesmerising green hues, and sapphires so blue they could rival the ocean. And not just the gems, but the skilled artisans I had hired were the best in the world, working in secret to protect the designs from being leaked

    Aubrey's pov ;I leaned back in my chair, taking a sip of water while watching Alana work. The steady hum of productivity in the office was almost calming—until Sophia knocked softly on the door and poked her head inside."How's the work on the designs going?" I asked, my eyes scanning the reports on my desk.Sophia stepped in, closing the door behind her. "It's coming along well," she said. "The clients will be here in a few days to finalise everything, and once we get their approval, we'll start working on the production. We're on track."I nodded, feeling a sense of satisfaction settle in my chest. "Good. Everything must be perfect."Sophia smiled. "Of course. We've got it covered."Just then, the door creaked open again, and my mood soured instantly as Hampton strolled in, a grin plastered across his face. The air in the room shifted, and I could already feel the weight of his greed before he even said a word."I heard you guys scored a really big order," Hampton said, his voice o

    —------Ryder's pov—-----I'm lying here, trying to get comfortable on this damn couch, but it's impossible. She can afford a huge house with countless rooms, yet she can't seem to buy a decent-sized couch.I shifted for the hundredth time, my legs hanging off the edge, and groaned. How the hell is she able to sleep so peacefully upstairs while I'm down here struggling?I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up, the stiffness in my back making me wince. Stomping up the stairs, I knocked on her bedroom door.No response.Maybe she's asleep. Of course, she is—probably sprawled out on that giant, comfortable bed, while I'm down here practically folded in half. The thought made me groan in frustration.I knocked again, harder this time. Still no response. Screw it.I unlocked the door, stepping inside and feeling the warmth of her room hit me immediately. The faint smell of her perfume lingered in the air—soft and floral, like her. I barely had a second to take in the room when the bathroom d

    —-------Aubrey's pov—-----When I walked through the front door after a long day, I was greeted by the unsettling sight of Ryder lounging on the couch like he had been waiting for me all day. Great. Just what I needed.Ignoring him, I made a beeline for the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, hoping that maybe he'd take the hint and leave me alone. But, of course, that was too much to ask.He followed me into the kitchen like a lost puppy, grabbing his own glass of water, mimicking my every move. I could feel his presence behind me, and the sound of him drinking water somehow irritated me even more. It was like I was being shadowed by an obnoxious echo.I walked back to the living room and flopped down on the couch, turning on the TV to drown out his existence. But before I could even get comfortable, he came and plopped down right next to me, his gaze focused on me instead of the screen.I frowned, biting the inside of my cheek to keep from snapping. Seriously?I sighed, deciding t

    —------Aubrey's pov—------As I sat across from Sophia, cutting the nth call from Ryder, I let out an exasperated sigh. "Doesn't he have work to do? Why does he keep calling me?"Sophia chuckled, shaking her head. "Maybe he just misses you."I rolled my eyes, biting into my lunch. "Miss me? Yeah, right."His sudden clinginess is starting to get on my nerves. We were supposed to be estranged, yet here he was acting like a dog. I didn't have time for this.We finished lunch and started making our way out of the restaurant when I accidentally bumped into someone. Instinctively, I began to apologise, but the moment I heard the familiar, nasal voice complaining, my words froze in my throat."Oh, great! Look at this, you ruined my expensive dress!" the woman hissed, her voice dripping with irritation.I looked up, and there they were—my mother and sister, Sage, both standing in front of me with matching expressions of shock. The same faces that had haunted me for years, faces that were as c

    *******Ryder's pov*******The moment I woke up, I knew something was wrong. The house was empty—Aubrey was already gone.The thought pissed me off, but I pushed it aside and got myself ready for the day, trying to shove down the annoyance that had been building up since last night.By the time I made it to the office, my head was still full of questions. Where the hell did she go this early? Who was this mysterious friend she kept mentioning? Not that I was jealous or anything—don't be ridiculous.She's my wife, and she belongs to me, that's all. She has no right to be running around doing whatever the hell she wants. If anyone gets to screw up this marriage, it's going to be me, not her.I was greeted by Victoria as soon as I walked in. "Mr. Stone, the client for the billion-dollar deal is here. He's in your office waiting for you."Great.
