Clara's POV

The charity gala at the Metropolitan Museum sparkled with wealth and influence, a glittering facade that masked the ruthless power plays happening beneath the surface. I moved through the crowd with practiced grace, my red Valentino gown drawing appreciative glances that I barely noticed. My attention was fixed on a more intriguing sight – Victor Volkov, engaged in what appeared to be an intense conversation with Marcus Holloway.

"Quite the interesting partnership forming there," Nathan murmured, appearing at my side with two champagne flutes. His presence was magnetic, drawing subtle attention from everyone nearby. The Tom Ford tuxedo he wore emphasized his powerful frame, reminding me of exactly why he was considered Manhattan's most eligible bachelor – at least until our engagement had been announced.

I accepted the champagne, letting my fingers brush his in a gesture that held private meaning. "Partnership... or mutual destruction in the making?" I mused, watching the

    Clara's POVThe morning sun streamed through the penthouse windows, casting golden light across the sleek marble countertops of our kitchen. I sipped my coffee, reviewing the overnight market reports on my tablet while savoring the quiet moment. Last night's gala had been a strategic success, but something about Jessica Reid's appearance nagged at my carefully honed instincts."You're overthinking again," Nathan's voice carried from the doorway, drawing my attention. He stood there in perfectly tailored workout clothes, his hair still damp from his morning training session. Even in this casual moment, he radiated power and control – a force of nature barely contained in human form."Someone has to," I replied, though I couldn't help smiling as he crossed the space between us. "Jessica's appearance at the gala wasn't coincidental. She's planning something."Nathan reached for my coffee, taking a deliberate sip before setting it down and pulling me to my feet. "Of course she is," he agr
