Chapter TwentyOne

As Jace attempted to process all of this information, his thoughts were racing. Who exactly was this Liam Arstor, and how did he manage to become such a prominent figure in their field all of a sudden? In spite of the fact that the name was foreign to Mr. Allen, it played a significant role in their just concluded discussion. Jace was aware that in order to maintain a competitive advantage over his rival, he would need to get as much information as possible on Liam Arstor. It was obvious that this new competitor posed a significant danger to their growth. Jace's fingers were flying over the keyboard as he sat down at his desk, and he was performing an internet search for Liam Arstor. After searching through the results, he was anxious to discover any information that may be pertinent to this enigmatic character. The search, on the other hand, turned up very little substance; all that was found were a few hazy references and mentions, and there was no clear evidence of Liam Arst

Lisa leaned closer, her voice falling to a whisper. "And the bedroom? Is he still as cold as ice, or has he finally warmed up to you?" A small flush tinted Avalynn's cheeks as she weighed her answer. "C’mon, bedroom?? Never!” She laughed Lisa will not cease being so hilarious. “Let's just say that we've managed to maintain a level of civility and understanding. Our relationship is on a business level an

As the bartender turned to grab a garnish, Elena gently reached into her little clutch and removed a tiny white pill. With a quick movement, she slipped the pill into Jace's drink, watching as it disintegrated without a trace. The bartender returned, placing the finished cocktails on the bar. "Enjoy your evening," he responded with a pleasant grin. Elena elevated the two glasses, while she aimed the one with the pill towards Jace with a triumphant smile.

Jace stared against the rays of the early morning sun shining through the curtains, trying to put together the scattered bits of his memories as he woke up with a throbbing headache, the remains of the previous night's partying remaining at his consciousness. Elena slept by his side, her appearance prompting a wave of shock and anger."What the hell happened?" Jace spat, getting up and swinging his legs over the edge of the bed.

We enjoyed a sweet night together."Jace realized what had occurred as the recollections of the earlier night started to return into his head as he gripped his

The next morning, Elena strolled into the workplace with a somewhat more cautious gait than normal. Ever since she had left Jace's hotel room that morning, she had been looking forward to this moment. Though her mind was racing with what-ifs and possible confrontations, she kept her composure.The normal morning bustle of coworkers exchanging pleasantries and getting to work filled the workplace. Elena moved to her desk, glancing momentarily across at Jace's closed office door. Taking a deep breath, she sat down and tried to concentrate on her work.It was hardly an hour later that her phone rang. The screen displayed Jace's elongation.

"Elena speaking.""Elena, I need to see you in my office right now," Jace's voice was unambiguous; it was calm but forceful.She said calmly, "Of course, I'll be right there," even though her stomach was turning.She straightened her skirt as she rose up and walked to his offi

Chapter TwentySeven

Avalynn looked as the door handle turned gradually, the pivots clicking as the entrance opened wide to show a tall, dull-haired person.His look fixed onto Avalynn, his manner a mix of resolve and fear."Ava," the man whispered, his voice scarcely over a rumble.Avalynn felt her heartbeat skirt a thump, her fingers holding around the teacup as she looked at the person before her."Dylan," she whispered, his name barely getting away from her lips. "What are you doing here?"Dylan moved into the room, locking the entrance behind him."I needed to see you, Ava. I was unable to stay away any longer."Avalynn's brain dashed as she tried to understand Dylan's surprise appearance.. why, how was he here?She hadn't seen him since their love had collapsed such an extremely long time back, and presently, he was right here, standing before her in Jace's home."I don't have the slightest idea," Avalynn mumbled, her voice shaking. "You left me, Dylan. You picked Amelia. What are you doing here at

Chapter TwentyEight

The Malvis mansion's luxury dining room was a study in sophistication and intimacy. Candlelight danced on the beautiful cutlery, creating swirling shadows that swung in sync with the quiet classical music coming from hidden speakers.Avalynn and Jace sat opposite ends of the large, elaborately decorated dinner table, their quiet punctuated only by the subtle clinking of cutlery on exquisite porcelain plates.The tension in the air was apparent, as an unsaid dread fell between them like a thick cloud.Jace moved his attention from his plate to see Avalynn's detached expression. In an effort to break the stillness, he said, "Is the food to your satisfaction?"Avalynn's eyes addressed him, her once warm expression now cold and distant. "Yes, the food is extremely nice. Thank you."Jace couldn't shake off the gnawing feeling of disquiet. Every tick of the antique grandfather clock at the corner of the dining room seemed to echo through his mind.The silence stretched, heavy and oppressi

His friend, Kevin, reclined back in his chair, swishing about a whiskey glass and giving Liam a cheeky grin.Liam peered furtively around the bar, certain that nobody was seeing them. He moved in closer, his voice barely audible above a whisper."Kevin, I need to talk to you about something."Kevin lifted an eyebrow, interested by Liam's covert manner. "Oh? This sounds serious."Liam took a deep breath, the gentle glow of the bar's lamps creating dramatic shadows on his face. "It actually is," he acknowledged, stopping for a second before continuing. "It's about Jace Malvis and the Malvis Group."Kevin nodded, his attention peaked. "They've been generating quite a commotion in the business world, haven't they? What's on your mind? Spill it bro"Liam hesitated, his gaze darting across the

Chapter Thirty

As the hot afternoon sun blazed high in the sky, its rays piercing through the gap in the curtains like golden daggers, Avalynn’s palm hesitated over her phone, the screen emitting a gentle light as Liam Arstor’s name winked up at her, a vivid reminder of the discussion from the night before.It was an urgent matter, he had stated. As she shivered, she felt a mixture of fascination and caution running down her spine. What is it that he might possibly want?After making the necessary adjustments to her outfit, which was a deep blue body hug gown that clung to her form in all the appropriate places, she reached for her purse. This is something I can handle, she reminded herself. Due to the fact that Jace was out of town on business, she was left to get through the day by herself. As soon as she entered the city, the city was buzzing with activity, and it was alive with the promise of something that was not the typical.The bar that Liam had selected was of a high-end kind, with a conte
