ARIANA'S POV My mother's words brought me back to reality. What was I thinking? My father had just died and our company was at the brink of crumbling. How could I be making love? I should be thinking of ideas to save us.As we left the room, I couldn't help but question my actions. Should I have been kissing Rob with all that's happening? It felt like a betrayal to my father's memory. On the day of my father's funeral, I went to Nate's room. He had barely been eating and wouldn't come downstairs for anything. He had shut everyone out. decided to check on Nate. When I entered the room, he looked up at me with tears in his eyes. I sat down beside him and gently coaxed him to eat a plate of hamburgers and fries. When he was done eating, he broke down in tears, and I held him close, feeling overwhelmed with pity. He was only six years old, and he had lost his grandfather.After he calmed down, I dressed him in a black tux, and we all headed to the funeral together - Margaret, Rob, Nate,

ROBERT'S POV I was shocked and horrified as Ariana told me the news of the bankruptcy had been leaked. It felt like a bomb had been dropped on me. This was what we had been trying to avoid all along. Who could have done this? My mind raced to Thompson - he had to be the one behind this. I couldn't believe he would stoop so low.Without a word, I stormed out of the house and got into my car. Ariana followed me, her expression determined. "I'm coming with you, Rob." We arrived at Vanderbilt Holdings, and I marched straight to Thompson's office. "You!" I pointed at him, my anger boiling over. "You're the one who leaked the news, aren't you?"

ARIANA'S POV I said goodbye to Rob, feeling elated and still basking in the warmth of our intense moment together. I had no idea what I had been thinking, grabbing him and kissing him like that but I was glad I did. Watching him shout at Thompson had been arousing. At that moment, all I wanted to do was grab him and kiss him senseless. If we were somewhere private, I would have made love to him fiercely. We had shared a connection that left me breathless, and I couldn't wait to see him again.I called the chauffeur and in a few minutes, he was there to pick me up. As we drove to Barbara's office, I was focused on the task at hand. Our company was in critical condition, and I needed the best mind to help me come up with projections and a plan to save it. Barbara, with her exceptional data analysis skills, was the perfect person to turn to. Besides, I could trust her. After everything we had gone through together, I knew Babs would be honest with me. What if I failed? What if I let t

 ROBERT'S POV  I paced back and forth in Barbara's office, my mind racing with thoughts. Where was Ariana? I had tried calling her phone, but it was still switched off. I had called her assistant, but she hadn't heard from Ariana either. A sense of desperation was creeping in, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. Barbara got up from her seat, walking over to me. "Rob, try to stay calm. I'm sure Ariana is fine. She might have had an emergency or a last-minute meeting. Let's not jump to conclusions yet." Barbara couldn't know that. There was a possibility that Ari wasn't safe. With recent happenings, I couldn't trust anyone. It was now very obvious that

ROBERT'S POV I stared at Ariana's purse, my mind racing with thoughts. Something was fishy, and I knew it. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Margaret's number. Maybe Ariana was with her, and I was just overreacting. But as soon as Margaret answered, I knew I wasn't."Margaret, it's Rob. Have you seen Ariana?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm."No, Rob. I haven't seen her. Is everything okay?" she replied, concern etched in her voice.I sighed, feeling a sense of desperation creeping in. "I don't know, Margaret. I can't find her anywhere.
