Victoria’s POV

Sighing, I got up from the couch and walked over, unlocking the door. The moment I pulled it open, my eyes landed on Adrian standing there, hands shoved into his pockets, a strange expression on his face.

“What the hell are you actually doing at my place at this hour?” I asked, irritation creeping into my tone.

Adrian tilted his head slightly. “Can you at least let me come inside first?”

I hesitated, not in the mood for whatever this was. But knowing Adrian, he wasn’t going to leave unless I let him in. Huffing out a breath, I stepped aside, allowing him to walk in.

As soon as he was inside, I shut the door and crossed my arms over my chest. “I’m really tired, Adrian. This is not how you show up at someone’s house—unannounced, unexpected.”

He stepped closer, his gaze fixed on me. “Someone ? You are not someone, Victoria.”

I stiffened when he reached for me, as if trying to touch my arm. My eyes narrowed, and I immediately took a step back. “What the hell are you doing?”

    Alexander stood there, dressed sharply in a tailored navy suit, his jaw locked tight, his blue eyes burning with something I couldn’t quite place. Anger. Possession. Betrayal.“What do you want, Alexander?” I asked, keeping my voice steady.He looked past me into the house, brows furrowing. “I want to come inside.”I stepped forward, blocking the doorway. “No.”His lips pressed into a thin line. “We need to talk.”“There’s nothing to talk about.”His eyes darkened, frustration rippling through him. He started to say something, but before he could, a voice came from behind me.“Elena, who is that?”Victor.Alexander’s entire body went rigid at the sound of his voice. A flicker of recognition crossed his face before his expression twisted into something feral. Without warning, he pushed past me, stepping into the house.“Alexander—!”But he was already inside, his gaze locked onto Victor, who was standing near the couch, watching the scene unfold.For a moment, the room felt unbearably

    The moment Alexander stepped out of the car, the usual murmurs followed. Employees whispered among themselves, stealing glances at him, some greeting him with polite nods, others with a nervous stiffness in their posture as usual. “Good morning, Mr. Wells.”He barely acknowledged the greetings as he walked through the lobby. The receptionist, a young woman with wide eyes and a forced smile, quickly stood as he passed. “Mr. Wells, Mr. Langford from the finance department wanted to—”“Later,” Alexander cut her off without breaking his stride. He had no patience for anything else at the moment.As he reached the hallway leading to his office, a familiar face appeared from the corner—Harrison, the company’s archivist. The older man was holding a thick brown file, his expression unreadable.“Mr. Wells,” Harrison greeted with a slight nod.Alexander’s sharp gaze landed on the file in his hands. “You have it?”“Yes, sir,” Harrison confirmed, gripping the documents tightly. “I pulled everyth

    Victoria’s POV“That was… so studden,” Adrian murmured, watching me as I frantically pulled my dress over my head.I didn’t have time for this. My father was at the airport. Now. I had woken up to a message from his assistant, barely able to process what I was reading before sheer panic set in. I wasn’t ready for this—not today, not after last night.“Unexpected?” I scoffed, rummaging through the pile of clothes on the floor for my shoes. “Adrian, I have to go. I don’t have time for your commentary right now.”He sat up in bed, running a hand through his tousled dark hair. His toned chest was exposed, his sheets loosely hanging around his waist. He looked way too comfortable for someone who had just ruined my morning.“I don’t understand why you’re freaking out. It’s just your dad.”I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to face him. “Just my dad?” I repeated, my voice laced with disbelief. “My dad, Adrian. The Mr. Greenwood. The man who can single-handedly ruin lives if he wants to.

    Elena’s POVI turned to Victor, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions building inside me. “Victor, please excuse us.”His brows furrowed. “What?”“I need to hear what Alexander has to say,” I said firmly, trying to keep my voice neutral.Victor scoffed, his eyes darting between me and Alexander. “You really want to listen to him?” He let out a humorless laugh, shaking his head. “After everything?”Alexander crossed his arms, glaring at Victor. “This doesn’t concern you, Langley. Step outside. You do not even have the slightest bit of shame.”Victor’s jaw tensed, and for a moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he exhaled sharply, his gaze locking onto mine. “Fine. I’ll be right outside and if you need Elena, let me know.” He shot Alexander one last look before stepping out, closing the door behind himAlexander shot back “She doesn’t need you, moron “.I yelled “Enough Alexander !”“That bastard is a traitor Elena, and of all people, why him “ he said softly “I don’t know

    The moment I stepped into the waiting area, my eyes landed on Mr. Greenwood.It had been years. Years since I had last seen him in person, though his presence had never really faded. He was the kind of man people didn’t forget, powerful, influential, and sharp-minded. Even in his late fifties, he carried himself with the same air of authority as he always had.His tailored charcoal suit was crisp, his salt-and-pepper hair neatly combed back, and his dark eyes, sharp as ever, locked onto mine the moment I approached. The expression he wore was unreadable, stern but not hostile, distant but not indifferent.Victoria, sitting beside him, was the first to break the silence. She leaned back in her chair, a smirk curving her lips. “Well, well, look who finally decided to show up,” she drawled.I ignored her and turned to her father. “Mr. Greenwood.”“Alexander” he greeted with a slight nod. His voice was deep, steady just as I remembered.There was a brief pause, a moment where neither of

    The office was silent for a moment, the weight of my words hanging between us. Mr. Greenwood leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze fixed on me as he processed what I had just said. His fingers tapped idly against the armrest before he finally spoke.“My support?” he repeated, tilting his head slightly. “Support for what, exactly? And how do you think I can help you?”I folded my hands on the desk, my expression unreadable. “I need your influence. Your connections. I know you have access to legal channels that I don’t, people who can prove beyond doubt that Spears Manufacturing was responsible for what happened to my parents’ company.”Mr. Greenwood exhaled, shaking his head. “Alexander, it’s been years, almost two decades if I’m correct. What exactly do you hope to achieve by digging this all up again? Even if you are certain that Spears Manufacturing had a hand in it, what then? What do you truly want?”I clenched my jaw, my grip tightening on the desk. “I want the truth. I want j

    Victoria sat across from her father in the dimly lit suite. It was one of her father’s properties here in Florida, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the couch. The suggestion he had just made on their way here still echoed in her ears, making her stomach tighten with unease.“Get back with Alexander.”She could hardly believe what she was hearing. Not that she wouldn’t leap at the opportunity to reinsert herself into Alexander’s life—of course, she would. She still loved him, even after everything. But hearing those words come from her father’s lips? That was unexpected.Her father, who was still trying to settle in, was busy arranging his suitcases and responding to phone calls as they came.Victoria narrowed her eyes. What is he really up to?She straightened up and folded her arms. “Why do I have to get back with Alexander?” she asked, her voice carrying a sharp edge.Mr. Greenwood smirked as he leaned back in his chair. “Doesn’t my daughter still love him?” he countered,

    A slow smirk pulled at Mr. Greenwood’s lips. “Well, well,” he mused, stepping aside slightly. “George Spears. You haven’t changed after all these years. Still just as uptight, I see.”George’s stance remained stiff, his expression unreadable. He made no move to step inside. Instead, his hands remained in the pockets of his long coat, his dark eyes scanning Mr. Greenwood’s face as though he were trying to see past the surface, past the false pleasantries.“If you have something to say to me, say it here,” George said, his voice even but firm. “There’s no need for any formalities.”Mr. Greenwood chuckled, a low, amused sound. “Come now, George. Surely we’re not going to stand at the door like old enemies. We’re not enemies, are we?”George’s jaw tightened. “That depends on what you called me here for Stones.”Mr. Greenwood sighed, shaking his head as if he were dealing with a stubborn child. “You always were difficult. But I suppose I expected that.” He stepped back fully, opening the d

    Victoria’s POVIt was a few days after Alexander and his little play team ruined my life. The walls of my penthouse felt smaller now, everything felt different, my life had changed for bad.The curtains were open, but the light didn’t touch me. I hadn’t eaten since the arrest. I hadn’t slept either. I’d been staring at the TV, waiting for them to say my father had been released. That something could be done, but there was nothing, I had made several calls and no one seemed to help, they said the allegations were true and heavy on him. All our connections had failed us, my life was in shambles.Just while I was lost in thoughts, there was a knock at the door.Then another.I wasn’t expecting anyone but I opened the door.Adrian.He stood there, in his black coat, hands in his pockets, face calm like he hadn’t just helped destroy everything I had ever built.“You have a lot of nerve,” I snapped, stepping aside to let him in, only because I didn’t want the neighbors to hear the screaming

    Elena’s POvI don’t know what possessed me to come here. Maybe it was closure. Maybe it was vengeance.Maybe it was both.And at the center of it all, Victoria Greenwood.She stood at the stage, her red dress flowing like a curtain of blood. She held the microphone with an effortless grace, and when the lights focused on her, the applause was thunderous.“Good evening, darlings,” she began, her voice silk and venom. “First, thank you all for coming tonight. It means the world to me that I get to celebrate with each of you—those I love, admire, and aspire to collaborate with. Tonight isn’t just about glamour—though, let’s be honest, I’m killing it.” Laughter rippled across the room.She winked. “But really, this is about gratitude. For those who have believed in me, supported me, and paved the way… especially one very special man—my amazing father.”The applause returned, louder this time. And then he emerged.Mr. Greenwood Stones.A walking headline in a sleek tux, polished shoes, and

    Victoria’s POVMy phone hadn’t stopped ringing all morning. It was my birthday today, my big day!“Is the floral arrangement in place? I want the cherry blossoms centered—nothing else,” I snapped into the phone, pacing across the marble floor of my apartment. The mirrored panels along the hallway reflected my anxious expression as I turned the corner into my bedroom, where my evening dress lay spread across the bed like a silent promise.I hung up the call before the planner could ask another question and immediately dialed Isla.She picked up on the second ring. “Hey, babe! Big night!” she chirped.“I hope you’re looking stunning. I don’t want to be the only jaw-dropper walking that red carpet tonight.”Isla giggled. “Trust me, I’m going full glam. I’ve got that bejeweled emerald gown you love—hair slicked back, high heels tall enough to break necks.”“That’s the spirit,” I smiled, easing into the chaise by the window. “This night’s going to be perfect.

    Elena’s POV“What exactly do you mean by that ?” I asked turning to Adrian.Adrian leaned forward, his piercing blue eyes reflecting a lifetime of calculated decisions. “Victoria’s birthday celebration is tomorrow, correct?” His Russian accent added a gravitas to his words this time, making every syllable feel like a decree.Alexander nodded, his jaw tightening. “Yes. She had even sent a reminder just last night, she’s always extravagant with her celebrations. The city’s elite will be in attendance.”A slow, predatory smile spread across Adrian’s face. “Then it’s the perfect stage for our performance.”I shifted in my seat, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. “Performance?”Adrian’s gaze met mine, unwavering. “A public unmasking. We expose Greenwoods for the charlatan he is, in front of his peers, his allies, his world, we make them see what humiliation feels like.”The audacity of the plan sent a shiver down my spine. The idea of confronting such a powerful figure in a p

    Elena’s POVThe following morning came quicker than I expected. I hadn’t even taken a full sip of my coffee before I heard the soft knock at the door.Mia peeked out the window first, then turned to me. “It’s Alexander’s driver—and I think those are his security guys too.”I sighed, placing my mug down. “He didn’t mention he was sending a whole team.”Mia raised a brow. “You surprised? It’s Alexander. He sends an army if you sneeze too loud.”I offered a faint smile and grabbed my coat. I had already texted Adrian earlier that morning, and after a few minutes of back and forth, he had sent me a location. It was a private estate just a little outside the city limits—discreet, exclusive, and of course, heavily guarded. I didn’t tell him that Alexander would be coming too. I knew it was a gamble, but something told me Adrian would understand.The drive to Alexander’s penthouse was quiet. His men barely spoke a word, but they were polite, respectful. As the gates opened and the car pulled

    Elena’s POVI had barely caught my breath when the silence between Alexander and Victor stretched thin like a worn-out thread ready to snap. The air was stiff, as though it could combust from the tension lingering in the room. Alexander’s chest rose and fell heavily beside me, still furious from everything I had just confessed to him. Victor just stood there helpless, sad, his eyes filled with regrets.Then, he spoke.“I know you hate me, Alexander,” Victor began, voice raw and cracking, “and I know I don’t deserve even a second of peace from you. But I just want you to understand one thing—I never wanted to take Elena from you or anything. Everything I felt for her was real.”I froze.Victor’s voice trembled as he stood from the couch. “I loved her genuinely. I still do.” He turned toward me, and I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, just stared at him as his words pierced the quiet. “From the moment I saw you, Elena. Not because you were beautiful or brilliant—although you are—but becaus

    Elena’s POVI didn’t realize how long I’d been standing outside until I felt a breeze brush against my skin, cooling the spot where Alexander’s lips had just touched mine. My heart was still racing from the kiss—his kiss—and I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t even know what to feel.So I asked the only thing that made sense in the moment.“Why did we just do that?”Alexander didn’t even hesitate. His voice was calm, low, but firm.“Why wouldn’t we?” he said, eyes not leaving mine. “You’re still my wife.”I looked away. His words pierced something deep in me. Something raw. Something that hadn’t healed yet. I felt my chest tightening as I fought back the emotions swirling inside me.But it didn’t work.I broke down.The tears came so suddenly I couldn’t stop them. I turned away from him, trying to hide my face, but he reached for me gently.“Elena,” he whispered, but I couldn’t meet his gaze.“I don’t know anymore, Alexander,” I sobbed. “I don’t know how to trust you. You hurt me. Yo

    Elena’s POVThe silence that followed my words was louder than any argument we’ve ever had and then he asked again “what did you say?”“I still want a divorce,” I repeated, my voice quieter this time. Almost like I didn’t want him to hear it, but I knew he did. His chest barely moved. His eyes were locked on mine, and his lips parted, like he wanted to speak but forgot how to form words.Finally, he blinked. Once. Twice. And then… a slow exhale.“I see,” he said.I turned away, looking at the garden hedge behind him, anything but his face. “You said if you found out my father was innocent, you’d sign the papers.”His jaw tensed. “I did.”“And?”He took a step closer. “And I will.”I nodded. That should’ve made me feel relieved. But instead, it burned.He stared at me for a long time. Then his voice cracked gently through the air. “But before I do… can I say something? Please.”I didn’t speak. I didn’t nod. I just stood there. That was enough for him.He ran a hand through his hair, l

    I barely had time to react before Alexander was on his feet, his chair scraping violently against the floor. His entire frame was tense, his jaw locked in fury as he glared at Victor standing a few feet away.“What the hell is he doing here?” His voice was sharp, demanding. His eyes flicked between Victor and me, searching for an explanation, his anger barely restrained.Victor, looking just as startled as Alexander, raised his hands in defense. “I didn’t know I was going to be here either,” he said, his tone calm but firm. “Elena invited me.”Alexander’s gaze snapped to me, his expression darkening. “You invited him?”I let out a slow breath, steadying myself. “Alexander, calm down.”His glare intensified. “Don’t tell me to calm down, Elena. Do you even realize what you’re doing?”“Yes,” I said firmly. “Victor is a part of this, whether you like it or not. He is one of us.”Alexander let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. “A part of this? You’re joking, right?”Before
