I barely paid attention to what anyone was saying in the room. Everyone seemed to be talking at the same time, and all I could hear was the sound of my own heart beating slowly. I kept my eyes fixed on the papers in front of me, and I couldn't even see the words properly. All I could think about was the visit from Marcus's mother, and the offer she'd made me. If I had just taken the money then, I wouldn't have faced any trouble. But now..."A million dollars is more than enough," Marcus's lawyer's voice cut through the noise. "My client is being more than reasonable.""Your client is worth fifty billion dollars," Ciara argued. "A million dollars is like a drop in the ocean for him.""And that's all she'll be getting from us," he said. "The offer does not change. Take it or leave it. We have no problem going to trial on this. But the fact that you asked for a settlement means you understand the situation is not in your favour. Just take the money and let's get this over with."One mil

THREE YEARS LATER Spring was in the air. I could feel it in the air, like a slight gust of wind that gently caressed my face as I walked down the street. The snow was melting on the sidewalks, and everywhere I looked, it looked like a little bit of colour was returning to the world. “Don’t you just love it when the sun is out for an entire day?” Rachel asked beside me. We were walking hand-in-hand out of King’s Cross station, and the drone of thousands of people milling all around us was almost deafening. And yet, despite how loud and claustrophobic it felt, I’d never been happier. “I’m just glad we got back in one piece,” I said. “That train ride was exhausting.”“Well, you’re the one who wanted us to come all the way back from Aberdeen in one day,” she said. “Honestly, I still don’t see why we couldn’t have stayed a little longer.”I merely shrugged, and adjusted my bag over my shoulder. I’d missed London, and it felt good to be back. We’d been away for three weeks, and I already

MARCUS“Babe, are you awake?”I groaned as I rolled over in bed and stared at the clock. It was still dark outside, and I almost banged my head against the headboard when I saw that it was still 4am. “What is it?” I asked. “I think we need to talk,” Emily said. “It’s important.”“More important than my sleep?” I asked, turning to face her. “You are aware of the board meeting I’m having at work, right?”“This is more important,” she said. “Trust me.”I could have just rolled over and fallen back asleep. I could have grabbed the duvet and headed to the second bedroom and tried to get some sleep. But something about the way she sounded caused me to sit up and switch on the light. I was surprised to see her beaming at me, her hair pulled up in a messy bun while she kept her hands behind her back. For a brief moment, my brain tried to adjust to the present, and it took me a moment to remember that this was Emily, not Olivia. Get it together, Marcus. “So?” I asked. “What is it?”“Close

I was never much of a party person. I hated the booming music that seemed to reverberate through my chest, and the suffocating heat of dozens of people packed into a tight room like sardines. Having a sweaty stranger pressed up against you and breathing heavily down your neck was not my idea of a fun evening.But there I was, squished up between two burly guys who thought it was a good idea to yell over my head instead of trying to get closer to each other. My head was buzzing, my neck was strained, and all I wanted was to get the hell out of here and head home. It was a Saturday night, for crying out loud. I should be in my room, curled up with a Sidney Sheldon classic and listening to nothing but white noise on my headphones. But Rachel insisted that this was for my own good, and I had already complained enough times. There was no getting out of it anymore. “Hey,” one of the guys said, placing his hand on my shoulder, “don’t I know you from somewhere?”“I doubt it,” I replied, twi

MARCUSI thought nothing on earth would be able to spoil my mood that day, until I walked into the board meeting and heard the terrible news. “And there’s no way of turning this around?” I asked, a cold sweat breaking out across my forehead despite the air conditioning. Looking at the numbers, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Reynard Tech was on the brink of bankruptcy, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. We’d lost another investor, and it looked like we were going to lose even more. The reality of our situation was starting to settle in, and I felt like the walls were closing in on me. “I’m afraid this is it, Marcus,” Mr. Jones said. He was one of the senior board members, and the oldest person in the room. He’d been with the company since the days of my father being in charge, and he was one of the few men I actually respected. “But surely there must be something we can do,” I said. “I mean we can’t just fold our hands and give up, right? This company has s

I love my job. I realise that every few people get to actually say that and mean it, but I do. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as doing something you love for a living, and knowing that you’re actually good at it. Social media was never my thing, and I hated the idea of people being influencers, when the only ‘product’ they’re marketing is themselves. But when there’s an actual product to sell, I’m your girl. Right from high school, I always knew that I wanted to work in marketing. So everything I ever did was to try and become somebody in that field. My marriage to Marcus had put a stop to my career for a while, but now I was back and ready to make a name for myself.Rachel’s friend was the one who introduced me to my boss, Joanna. The company was called Fluxx Marketing, and we mostly dealt with luxury brands by running ad campaigns for them, hosting events and marketing their products to a wider audience. It was the perfect job for me, and I could do it with the full knowledge

MARCUSPeople could be so ungrateful. After everything I’d done for Reynard Tech., after devoting my entire life to making that company a success and building good relationships with every single employee, they still turned around and stabbed me in the back as soon as they found out how bad things had gotten. Damn fucking traitors. I sat in my study and stared at the dozens of resignation emails from workers in every department. Our factories in Texas, Shanghai and Washington had to be temporarily shut down, because there just weren’t enough workers to keep them running anymore. Qualcomm were also increasing their charges per chip, and it just didn’t seem possible to weather this storm anymore. “Fuck!” I groaned, shoving my computer aside and staring up at the ceiling. I’d done everything I could to keep us alive, but it just wasn’t working. After sacking 50% of our employees, another 20% decided to resign voluntarily. That would have been a good thing, except for the fact that ev

“So, how long are we going to be in Paris for?” Rachel asked, practically bouncing in her seat.“A week at most,” I replied. “Anything more than that, and I’ll be paying out of my pocket.”We were sitting in a secluded booth at an Italian restaurant, having the most amazing pasta I’d tasted in years. The bottle of champagne we’d opened to celebrate my promotion was almost entirely empty now, and I was already thinking about ordering another one. Joanna wasn’t coming to the office tomorrow, so I also wasn’t obligated to come in. I could just kick up my feet on the couch and watch reruns of The Office all day long. “Well, I don’t know about you,” Rachel said, “but I plan on staying an extra week. There’s no way I’m going to Paris and leaving in just one week. It’s not enough.”“I’m definitely not going to wait for you,” I said. “Unlike you, I don’t have flexible working hours.”“You know you could afford to retire early, right?” she said, twirling her pasta around her fork. “I mean I’v

ETHANGrowing up, Marcus and I had a sort of sixth sense where we could always detect when the other person was in the building even without us seeing them. As soon as he walked into a building, I could somehow tell that he was around. And I would immediately turn in the direction he was about to walk in from. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, I didn't feel anything as I sat in the restaurant and waited for him to walk in. I was gently tapping my fingers on the table, planning what I was going to say in hopes that it would be enough to sway him. I'd gone through a thousand different possibilities of how this conversation could play out, and yet each time I wasn't so sure how well it would go. The door suddenly swung open, and I looked up to find Marcus striding towards me nonchalantly. He looked awful, it actually took me a few seconds before I realised it was him. His beard looked disheveled and unkempt, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He wore a large black hoodie, and

“Remind me again how the kiss felt,” Rachel said. “Come on,” I laughed. “I’ve told you about it a thousand times already.”“I still want to hear it again,” she said. “Now spill.”We were seated at the cafe across from the office for lunch, and she was staring at me like a wide-eyed teenager who just wanted to talk about boys and love. “Rach, are you alright?” I asked cautiously.“What do you mean?”“I mean why do you seem so invested in this?” I explained. “Normally you would be the one to tell me that this is nothing to get hung up on, and it’s just a kiss. So how come you’re so surprised and you want to keep talking about it?”For a moment, it looked like she wasn’t going to say anything. She leaned back into her seat, eyes vacant as she stared off into the distance and twirled her finger around her the rim of her coffee cup. Finally, she turned to face me and said, “I’m lonely.”Hearing her say that in such a timid voice broke my heart into a million pieces. I reached out and too

ETHANI knew I was a gone man the moment I woke up with the goofiest smile on my face. I couldn't even brush my teeth properly, because the smile just refused to disappear. All I kept remembering was Olivia’s lips on mine, and the feel of my fingers grazing her bare skin. “Get it together, Ethan,” I whispered to my reflection. “You have an important meeting today.”Reluctantly, I finished getting ready quickly and headed for the office. I was already prepared for how stressful today was going to be, but the sooner we got this over with, the faster we could get things back on track.Alicia was there to greet me as soon as I walked into the building, and she was practically bouncing on her feet as she handed me my coffee. “Good morning, Mr Reynard,” she said. “Big day, huh?”“Indeed,” I replied. “What time is the board meeting?”“In an hour,” she replied. “Although Mr Jones arrived a short while ago. He’s already in Conference Room B, and he asked me to inform you that he’s around.”O

At first, I thought I must be dreaming. Surely I couldn’t be doing this right now. It felt like my soul had slipped out of my body, and I was watching as I leaned forward and kissed him. But when the sensation burned through me like a hot knife, there was no denying it anymore. His lips met mine softly, and it was obvious that I’d shocked him. He seemed uncertain, like he was testing something before he suddenly deepened the kiss. There was some unspoken but undeniable tension that lingered in the air as he pulled me towards him, placing me on his lap before he pushed my lips apart with his tongue. The kiss sent warmth spiraling through me, a slow unraveling of every doubt I’d ever had. I melted into him, my hands finding their way to the back of his neck, feeling the way his pulse raced beneath my fingertips. He didn’t rush at all. Instead he took his time, moving slowly and carefully, taking his time to explore every inch of my lips. He tasted like cherry, and I wrapped my arms ar

“Holy shit!” “I know,” I replied, smiling as Rachel flipped through the file incredulously. She looked like she was going to pass out, which was exactly how I’d felt when I read through the file earlier. We were now sitting in the living room, testing the brand new couches while eating Chinese takeout. The file contained a treasure trove of evidence that could bring down the entire Reynard family. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if this ever got out. Marcus would be done for, and probably end up in prison. “So what are you going to do with this?” Rachel asked. “Are you going to give it to the media?”“Not yet,” I replied. “I mean I know how bad it would be for him, but I’m saving it until I actually need it. I know he’s not going to be happy when he finds out that I’m back, but if he tries anything stupid, I’m going to use this against him in court.”“You sick bitch,” Rachel laughed. “I love the way your foul little mind words.”It was our favourite line from Aladdin, and

MARCUSI opened my eyes slowly, the blinding lights overhead causing me to wince. There was a steady beeping sound coming from somewhere over my head that I knew would irritate me very soon, but I couldn’t turn to see what it was. My head felt like it was going to explode, my mouth was painfully dry, and when I tried to turn, pain shot up my entire body and I was frozen in place. “You’re awake.”I shifted my gaze to find Emily sitting beside me, a cold and distant look in her eyes as she regarded me like I was a stain on the bottom of her shoes. “What is this?” I asked. “What am I doing here?”“You’re in the hospital, Marcus,” she said. “You drove straight into the lobby of a building and injured six people.”I remembered it now, the screeching of the brakes, the fuzziness from all the drinking, and the pain that exploded all over me as the car slammed into the wall. “How long was I out?” I asked. “Are you fucking kidding me?” she spat. “I just told you that you’ve injured six pe

Being back in the halls of J.P. Steele was like stepping through a Time Machine. Suddenly I remembered those awful days leading up to my divorce, when David was helping me out and I was actually stupid enough to believe that he was on my side. I knew better now, and I realised that I should have seen through their charade back then. Marcus has orchestrated everything from the beginning. He knew exactly which buttons to push, and he knew that David would be the first person I would turn to for help. Rather than securing David for himself, he pretended to look helpless, and have him pretend to be helping me so he could stay close and gather as much information as he could manage. I guess it was truly a smart move to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. I thought back to the meeting we had at the coffee place across the street, and how Marcus walked in on us while I had to hide in the next booth. I should have realised back then that the odds of him showing up at that exa

Okay, I admit it.I’m a terrible person. But in my defence, I didn’t know what else to do. It’s not like I could send him a text and say “Hey, just thought I should let you know that I’m in New York. Remember when you asked me to move to America with you? That was crazy, right? Anyway, we should get a drink together sometime. Bye xx.”I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I knew if I posted a picture with my location, he would definitely see it. And maybe it would soften the blow for when I would actually call him and explain myself. I wanted to believe that he would have some time to think about it before I actually called, and he would be willing to forgive me by then. But for now, I was focused on work and settling into the office. Rachel and I spent the first day interviewing our potential employees. After the fiftieth applicant, my head was starting to spin. There were so many of them, each one more eager than the last. They reminded me of myself and Emily when we were job huntin

ETHANFrom the moment I walked into the building, I knew that something was off. Not a single person dared to look at me, and everyone kept their head bowed as they hurried across the main lobby, dashing towards the elevators and glancing over their shoulders to make sure I wasn't going to rip their heads off. At first, I thought everyone just assumed that I was Marcus, and they were absolutely terrified of him. But that didn't make any sense. As far as I knew, Marcus had a close relationship with every single employee of Reynard Tech. And they didn't fear him as much as they respected him. But then, right as I was walking past the front desk, the receptionist nearly tripped over himself as he hurried over towards me, wearing the fakest smile I'd ever seen in my life. "Mr. Reynard!" he exclaimed. "Welcome back. It's a pleasure to have you here again.""Hello, Richard," I said, glancing at his name tag. "But I think there's a mistake somewhere. I'm not Marcus. I—""Oh, we know," he
