Loop Holes in the Caldwell Partnership

**************CHAPTER 22~Kaia’s POV~I flipped through the document on Blaze’s desk while the air conditioner hum eased my thoughts. The numbers didn’t quite align, and I needed his signature before finalising the report.Blaze sat across from me, his chair reclined slightly as he reviewed another set of papers. His concentration was intense, his jaw set as he scanned the page.“Blaze.” I tapped the document. “You need to look at this.”He glanced up, his piercing blue eyes briefly locking onto mine before reaching for the paper. “What’s the issue?”“There’s a discrepancy in the financial projections for the third quarter,” I explained, leaning over to point out the relevant figures. “If we don’t adjust these numbers, it’ll affect our presentation to the board.”He studied the document for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly. “I see what you mean. We’ll need to get the finance team on this immediately.”I nodded, jotting down a quick note on my tablet. “I’ll schedule a meeting with

Summer Garland

**************CHAPTER 23~Kaia’s POV~As we returned to Blaze’s office, the tension between us eased slightly. I was still riding the satisfaction of having dismantled Shawn’s overblown confidence, but I knew better than to let my guard down completely. Shawn wasn’t the type to give up easily, and neither was Summer. It seemed like she has been influencing him. Blaze sat behind his desk, flipping through another folder while I organized my notes. The calm was short-lived, though, as his phone buzzed sharply. He glanced at the screen, his jaw tightening.“It’s my father,” he said flatly, answering the call with a clipped, “Yes?”I busied myself with my notes, pretending not to listen, but his tone made it impossible to ignore."No, that’s not necessary. We have plenty of qualified candidates internally,” Blaze argued. There was a long pause, during which his expression hardened. “Fine. Send over the details.”When he hung up, he leaned back in his chair, pinching the bridge of his n

Anger

**************CHAPTER 24~Shawn’s POV~—Coral Bar—I sat slouched in a booth, nursing my third whiskey of the evening while my so-called friend, Dan, sipped his beer across from me.“She made me look like a complete idiot,” I muttered, glaring into the amber liquid in my glass. “In front of everyone. My team, her husband—Blaze freaking Black.”Dan chuckled, leaning back in his seat. “To be fair, Shawn, you kind of walked into that one. Did you really think you’d just waltz in and charm her after what you pulled?”I shot him a look that could kill. “I didn’t pull anything. She’s the one who ran off and married that arrogant bastard. I should’ve been her first choice, not some random guy with more money and power.”“Yeah, well,” Dan shrugged, taking another sip. “You snooze, you lose. Or, in your case, cheat, and you lose everything. That’s just how it works.”I slammed the glass down harder than I intended, drawing a few glances from the other patrons. “Who’s side are you on? Huh? She

Shutting Summer Down

**************CHAPTER 25~Kaia’s POV~Having told Blaze my opinion concerning Summer, I simply distanced myself more from his office and focused on the HOF office. However, it didn’t take long for Summer to begin her games.During our first team meeting, she made snide comments about my financial strategies, questioning the validity of my projections in a way that was both condescending and calculated to sow doubt.“I’m just saying,” she said, flipping through the presentation I’d prepared, “these numbers seem… optimistic. Don’t you think we should be more conservative?”I smiled tightly. “Optimism is one thing; accuracy is another. These projections are based on hard data, not speculation. But if you’d like to review the research, I’d be happy to walk you through it.”Summer’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “That won’t be necessary.”Blaze, who had been silent throughout the exchange, finally spoke. “Kaia’s projections are solid. If anyone has concerns, I suggest you address them dir

The CEO is Here

**************CHAPTER 26~Kaia’s POV~I stared at my phone, trying to piece together Blaze’s message. “Cafeteria. Okay, I’m on my way.”What?I hadn’t even fully processed his words when a ripple of murmurs swept through the cafeteria. My head snapped up, and there he was. Blaze Black, striding toward me with the ease of someone who owned not just the building but the very air inside it.He didn’t slow his pace, his sharp blue eyes locked on mine. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. His perfectly tailored suit hugged his tall, broad frame, and his presence seemed to eclipse everything else in the room.The second my gaze met his, my phone buzzed again. I glanced down just in time to see his reply: “Here.”I barely had time to react before he reached my table, his deep voice cutting through the murmurs around us. “Having lunch without inviting me, wifey?”I sputtered, caught off guard. “I—what—Blaze, this is a cafeteria, not a private dining room.”He raised an eyebrow, a hint of

Needed Talk

**************CHAPTER 27~Kaia’s POV~The day had dragged on longer than I expected, and by the time I got home, all I wanted was to bury myself in blankets and forget the world existed. But the sight of Blaze’s car already parked in the driveway jolted me out of my fatigue.He was home.My heels clicked against the floors as I stepped inside. I had stayed longer in my HOF office to get a few things done before heading home. The scent of freshly brewed coffee greeted me, along with the soft music of a jazz playlist coming from the living room. Blaze was lounging on the couch, a coffee mug in hand, his tie loosened and his jacket discarded.“Late evening, wifey,” he drawled without looking up.I set my bag down, kicking off my shoes by the door. “You beat me home,” I muttered, surprised.“Wanted to get here before you did,” he said casually, glancing over the rim of his mug. “Figured we could talk.”His words, while light, carried an undertone that made my stomach flip. “Talk about

In His Arms

**************CHAPTER 28~Kaia’s POV~The world tilted as I felt myself lose balance, the slick patch of water catching me off guard. A gasp escaped my lips, and my hands flailed in a desperate attempt to grab onto something—anything—to steady myself. But before I hit the ground, strong arms encircled me, halting my fall midair.Blaze.Instantly, he spun me upright and held me close to his chest. My heart was pounding, both from the fall and the overwhelming realization that I was cradled in his arms, his scent wrapping around me like a second skin.I stared up at him, my breath hitching as our faces hovered mere inches apart. His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, intensely, and I couldn’t look away even if I tried.“You okay?” His voice was low and concerned, yet there was something else in it that made my stomach knot up.I gulped, nodding slowly. “Y-yeah. Thanks to you.”Blaze didn’t respond right away. Instead, his gaze flicked to my lips, lingering there for a moment too lo

Little Nemesis Ploy

***************CHAPTER 29~Kaia’s POV~The office was quiet, the city lights twinkling through the floor-to-ceiling windows as I stared at my screen. My presentation was due first thing in the morning, and while most of the data was in place, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.“Late night?” Blaze’s voice startled me, and I looked up to see him leaning against the doorframe, his tie loosened and his sleeves rolled up.“What gave it away?” I said dryly, gesturing to the empty office.He walked in, setting a steaming cup of coffee on my desk. “You’re always here late. Thought you could use a pick-me-up.”“Thanks,” I murmured, taking a sip. The warmth spread through me, but it did little to ease the tension knotting my shoulders.Blaze pulled up a chair and sat across from me, his sharp eyes scanning my face. “You’ve been tense all day. What’s going on?”I hesitated, unsure how much to share. “It’s nothing. Just the usual pressure of making sure everything’s perfect.”“

The Presentation

***************CHAPTER 29~Kaia’s POV~The boardroom looked very professional with a long glass table, shiny metal details, and walls decorated with Apex Global’s recent successes. There was a bit of tension in the air as executives from various departments took their seats, ready with their laptops and notepads.Blaze sat at the head of the table and I sat to his right, my laptop open and ready. My heart raced, but outwardly, I maintained a calm, confident demeanour.This presentation was critical—not just for the company, but for me.As I rose to begin, the conversation died down, and all eyes turned toward me. The projector screen lit up with the first slide of my carefully prepared presentation.“Good morning, everyone,” I began, despite the nerves swirling in my chest. “Today, I’ll be walking you through the financial strategy and projections for our upcoming expansion into the European market.”The room was silent as I delved into the details, my words accompanied by crisp, pr

Options

***************CHAPTER 31~Summer’s POV~The room was empty now, save for Blaze and me. His icy gaze bore into me, and for the first time, I felt a flicker of unease in his presence.Thanks to that bitch Kaia, I was in this deep shit. I thought I had messed up her work to allow Blaze see her incompetence and question the motive for her joining his company but all that backfired.“Summer,” he began, his voice cold, “do you think I’m a fool?”I forced a laugh, though it sounded hollow even to my own ears. “Blaze, I was…”“Mr. Black to you,” he corrected fiercely as he interjected. I swallowed, nodding and correcting myself. “Mr. Black, I was only trying to help. That data was obviously incorrect—”“Incorrect because you tampered with it,” Blaze cut in, his tone sharp enough to slice through steel.I blinked, feigning shock. “Me? That’s ridiculous! Why would I—”“Stop,” Blaze snapped, his hand lifting to silence me. “I have no patience for lies, Summer.”I bit my inner cheek, trying to
