Avery stepped out of the sleek black sedan and into the bustling atmosphere outside Star Technologies’ headquarters. The building loomed tall above her, a symbol of the legacy her father had built, and today, it was the stage for the long-awaited joint project launch.

The sun glinted off the glass windows, casting a hopeful light over the crowd gathering near the entrance. As she adjusted her suit and made her way toward the entrance, a quiet sense of purpose settled over her.

Today was about more than just the project. It was about proving her place in the company, solidifying her role as the one steering Star Technologies into the future. And despite the tension that still lingered between her and Stephen, and even Shane’s outburst the previous night, she knew she had to stay focused on what mattered most—the success of the project.

Justin, ever the reliable assistant, fell into step beside her. “Ready, ma’am?” he asked, offering her a confident nod.

    The air in the rooftop lounge seemed to crackle with tension as Avery stood by the edge of the gathering, her cheek still faintly red from the confrontation with Susan Anderson.

    The aftermath of Stephen’s public display hung heavily over the gathering. Avery had made her stance clear, and though the whispers hadn’t fully subsided, she had asserted herself in a way that earned her a degree of respect from those present. However, the tension was far from gone.Stephen stood by the bar, nursing another drink, his mind swirling with frustration. He had hoped his little speech would stir doubts about Avery’s ability to lead, but she had turned the tables on him with her bold response. As he downed his whiskey, his eyes scanned the room until they landed on Shane, standing alone in the corner, watching everything unfold with a brooding expression.An idea sparked in Stephen’s mind. He had always been good at reading people, and Shane’s simmering resentment toward Avery was a tool waiting to be exploited. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he made his way toward Shane.“Well, well,” Stephen said, his tone mocking as he approached. “The great Rodrigo

    The sounds of laughter and clinking glasses echoed faintly behind them as Avery and Shane stepped out onto the quiet terrace, away from the prying eyes of the guests still reveling inside the party. The cool night air offered a much-needed respite from the tense atmosphere of the evening, and for the first time since the event began, Avery felt she could finally breathe.Shane, standing beside her, let out a long sigh, running a hand through his hair in frustration. His earlier anger had subsided, replaced now by a look of guilt and exhaustion. He leaned against the railing, staring out at the city lights, his shoulders hunched as if the weight of everything was finally catching up to him.“I’m sorry, Avery,” Shane muttered, breaking the silence. His voice was low, but the sincerity in his tone was unmistakable. “I let Stephen get to me. I shouldn’t have let him manipulate me like that.”Avery turned to look at him, her expression softening. She had suspected as much. Stephen had alw

    Tamer stood on the terrace, watching as Avery disappeared into the crowd of guests inside the party. The cool night air brushed against his skin, and a slow, satisfied smile spread across his face. He hadn’t missed the way she’d avoided his question about the kiss. The way she had brushed him off with a smile and a casual “Goodnight” told him more than she realized. Avery was falling for him—slowly, maybe, but undeniably. And he knew exactly how to use that to his advantage.With a deliberate glance around to ensure no one was nearby, Tamer pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number. He waited for a few rings, pacing slowly across the terrace as he did, before a voice answered on the other end.“Tamer,” came the smooth, confident voice of Susan Anderson—Stephen’s mother. There was a subtle edge of impatience in her tone, but also a hint of anticipation. “I was wondering when I’d hear from you. I assume things are going according to plan?”Tamer smirked, leaning cas

Had her husband given up on their marriage?She looked up at him, her eyes wide and pleading. "What is this?" she asked.Her husband's eyes were cold and unreadable. "It's a divorce agreement," he said. "Sign it."Avery's heart was pounding. She couldn't believe this was happening.Avery couldn't take her eyes off the document in front of her. She wanted to believe that this was some kind of misunderstanding, but deep down, she knew it wasn't."Why are you doing this?" she asked, her voice breaking. "We can work through this. We can get through this together. Please, don't do this."Her husband's expression didn't change. "It's too late," he said. "The decision has been made. Sign the agreement."Avery felt like she was going to faint. She knew that if she signed the agreement, her life would be changed forever. She

    The next morning, Avery woke up with a start. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest, and she could feel the sweat trickling down her back. The sun was shining brightly through the window, and it only made her feel more scared. She didn't want today to happen. She didn't want to face the world, knowing that the people who were supposed to love her had betrayed her.Slowly, she got out of bed, her body feeling heavy and exhausted. She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pale and disheveled, her eyes red and puffy from the tears she had cried the night before. She splashed cold water on her face, trying to wake herself up. She didn't want to face the day, but she knew she had to. She had to face the people who had hurt her.She made her way downstairs, trying to prepare herself for the worst. When Avery reached the bottom of the stairs, she was surprised to see the entire family gathered around the dining room table. Her husband, mother-in-law, fath

    The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of the mansion, casting long shadows across the polished floors as Avery made her way down the grand staircase. Her thoughts were still tangled from the conversation with Shane the night before. Doubts gnawed at her, questions that had no easy answers. She wanted to believe that her father’s intentions were pure, that he truly wanted to make amends before his time ran out. But Shane’s words echoed in her mind like a warning she couldn’t ignore.Her assistant, Justin, was waiting for her by the front door, his usual calm demeanor giving her a sense of steadiness amidst her emotional turmoil. He offered her a polite smile as she approached.“Ready to head to the company, ma’am?” he asked, his voice gentle but professional.Avery nodded, adjusting the strap of her handbag over her shoulder. “Yes, let’s go,” she replied, though her voice sounded distant even to her own ears.As they moved toward the door, something caught Avery’s eye.

    Avery stood in front of Shane’s room, hesitating as her hand hovered above the door. The earlier confrontation with their father replayed in her mind, and she couldn’t shake the guilt that lingered. She had to try to make things right, to understand why Shane had acted the way he did. He was angry, that much was clear, but there was something deeper—something that needed to be brought to the surface.She took a deep breath and knocked softly on the door.At first, there was no response. But after a few moments, she heard shuffling from inside. The door creaked open slightly, revealing Shane’s disheveled figure. His eyes were still bloodshot, his face twisted with a mixture of exhaustion and lingering anger.“What do you want?” he asked, his voice gruff.Avery swallowed her nerves and met his gaze. “I just want to talk, Shane. Please.”He hesitated, staring at her for a long moment before stepping back and allowing her inside. The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn tightly against
