Ava Sinclair is a respected lawyer well-known for her tenacity and sharp intellect, but when Roman Devereux—a dangerously charismatic billionaire hires her to defend him against charges of corporate spying, all her once-clear lines blur. Roman’s charm drags her into his dazzling world, but as Ava dives deeper into his case, she learns a stunning truth: Roman staged his arrest to manipulate her into helping him ruin her distanced mother’s empire. Heartbroken, Ava walks away, only to find herself caught in the crosshairs of Roman’s enemies. As her career and life collapse, Roman risks everything to protect her. Yet Ava isn’t pleased with being protected—she turns Roman’s own vicious techniques against his adversaries, proving her strength in a shocking act of payback. But when the dust settles, Ava must decide: can she forgive Roman, or will she destroy him and everything that comes with him to protect herself?

The Perfect Betrayal Chapter 5: The Power of the Lie
Ava felt her heart race as she held focus on Roman's phone screen. Her face was captured in the clearest photograph she has ever seen as she was seen leaving his penthouse. The article did not waste time to accuse her of having participated in her mother's alleged plots.Her grip on the phone betrayed her, but her voice remained strong. "Who could have leaked this?"Without flinching, Roman stared. "It has Malone's hand written all over it""This is deliberate. Their goal is to have me abandon you and the case." She said as she dropped the phone on the counter.“And will you?” Roman’s question wasn’t silly. There was something raw in his tone, something that unsettled her.“I don’t quit,” she said. “Not for Malone. Not for Evelyn. And most definitely not for you.”He leaned closer, his presence stabilising her even as her mind raced. “Then we need to hit back hard. But this time, Ava, it’s not just about winning. It’s about survival—for both of us.”They spent the remaining night work

As Ava was engrossed in going over a steady stream of legal briefs, her office phone suddenly rang. Her eyes glanced over the caller ID. UNKNOWN. She almost let it go to voicemail, but an itch forced her to answer."You're quite the celebrity today," Roman joked in a low, amused voice from the other end.She slumped into her chair attempting to sound calm. "Somehow, you always manage to call at the most inconvenient times.""Or at the most important time," he replied. Playing nasty isn't all that Victor Malone is doing. I didn't anticipate him to move this quickly. There’s definitely more coming your way.”“How considerate of you to warn me,” she replied sarcastically. “Why don’t you just skip the murky hints and tell me what I’m about to walk into?”Roman hesitated, which wasn’t like him. She could hear the faint sound of typing in the background, and when he spoke again, his tone had intensified.“Malone has connections everywhere. He’s not only targeting you in the press. He’s fish

Ava kept her face deadpan as Roman leaned comfortably against the marble counter of his penthouse. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, his tie lost somewhere in the slick, modern space. She wasn’t sure if the relaxed look was intended or if it indicated he’d finally let his guard down. Either way, it irritated her.“Talk,” she said, crossing her arms. “I don’t have time for games.”“It's all business for you, isn't it?” Roman said, pouring a glass of whiskey. He didn’t offer her one, and she didn’t ask. “But I think we both know this isn’t just business anymore.”She didn’t flinch. “Don’t mistake my interest in your case for anything else.”Roman’s giving a gentle smile took a sip from his drink while watching her. “You’re good at keeping people at arm’s length. I bet it works most of the time. But not with me.”Ava took a step forward, her heels tapping sharply on the floor. “You don’t know me well enough to make assumptions, so I'd suggest you don't do that.”His eyes moved to hers, h

Ava tightened her grasp on her phone as she looked at the blank wall of her office. Roman’s voice on the other end had been calm, maddeningly so.“Good decision, Ms. Sinclair,” he had said, his tone carrying the smallest tinge of amusement.“It wasn’t a decision,” she yelled, pacing the length of her office. “You’ve made accusations without evidence. If you’re wasting my time, I’ll walk.”His reply was a single word: “Understood.”Now, she sat at her desk, going over the preliminary papers on his case. The allegations made against Roman were damning, yet something about them didn’t sit right. The evidence was too tidy, too convenient. Yet every time she tried to pull together a different narrative, her imagination hooked on his arrogance.And the call from her mother.Evelyn Sinclair rarely phoned Ava for anything more than a deliberate warning or a barely veiled assessment. Her words, abrupt and gnawing as ever, lingered in Ava’s ears: “Stay away from him.”A knock at her door pulled

Glancing at the neat envelope on her desk, Ava Sinclair sees her name crisply and coldly etched in silver on the front. Roman Devereux, the client she was supposed to meet, was profiled inside. A ricocheted bullet has been sending the name whizzing through Manhattan's elite circles. Some saw him as a scapegoat, while others saw him as a criminal genius accused of stealing secrets from companies. Both of those things were out of Ava's time.Pressing out a crease in her fitted blazer, she seemed to be trying to soothe the growing annoyance.“Ms. Sinclair?” her assistant, Clara, poked her head through the office door. “Mr. Devereux is here.”“Show him in.” Ava kept her head down as she wrote down every piece of evidence and flipped through the folder. She valued knowing more than her clients knew about their own cases. It made it easy to manage the narrative.The door clicked open, and Ava looked up to find Roman Devereux leaning casually against the frame. He wasn’t what she expected.
