Chapter 101: The Office Knows

Isabelle woke up to the soft glow of morning light filtering through the curtains, casting warm patterns across the room. She stretched slightly, feeling the comforting weight of Liam's arm draped over her waist. He was still asleep, his breathing steady and relaxed. For a moment, she just watched him, the reality of their situation sinking in. The entire company knew now—there was no going back.With a quiet sigh, she gently removed his arm and slid out of bed. She had work to get to, and after last night’s revelation, she wasn’t sure how today would go. Would people treat her differently? Would they whisper behind her back? She shook her head, pushing those thoughts away as she headed to the bathroom to get ready.By the time she stepped out, fully dressed for work in a fitted cream blouse and navy-blue skirt, Liam was awake, propped up against the headboard watching her.“You’re up early,” he noted, his voice still husky from sleep.“I have work,” she reminded him as she fastened h

Chapter 102: A Common Enemy

The sound of glass shattering against the wall echoed through the dimly lit apartment. Laura stood in the center of the living room, breathing heavily, her fingers clenched into fists. Her laptop screen displayed multiple news articles—each one filled with headlines about Liam Anderson publicly announcing Isabelle as his wife.“Lucky PR Employee Is Married To Billionaire CEO!”“Liam Anderson’s Secret Marriage: The Woman Who Stole His Heart!”Her blood boiled as she scrolled through the comments, reading the ridiculous praises people were throwing at Isabelle. Some called her “smart” and “hardworking.” Others even said Liam was “lucky” to have her.“Lucky?” Laura scoffed, voice dripping with venom. “That little witch is anything but lucky.”Her own life was falling apart, and yet Isabelle was thriving. Laura had lost everything—her position at Anderson Corporation, her reputation, and worst of all, her power. All because of that woman.A sharp knock on the door pulled her from her thou

Chapter 103: The Polaris Project Begins

The morning air was crisp as Ethan and Isabelle made their way out of Anderson Corp’s towering building. The partnership with Anderson Corporation had been a defining experience for both of them, but now, it was time to return—at least temporarily—for their next big challenge.Meredith, standing at the entrance, folded her arms and exhaled dramatically. “So, you two are just leaving me like this?” she teased, shaking her head in mock disappointment.Ethan chuckled. “It’s not like we’re disappearing forever, Meredith.”“You’d better not,” she huffed. “PR Horizon may be your home company, but remember who gave you an office with the best view in Anderson Corp.”Isabelle smirked. “Don’t worry. We’ll be back before you know it. Just make sure to keep our desks dust-free.”Meredith sighed, then grew serious. “I’m really going to miss having you two around, though. You’d better nail this project so well that people are throwing awards and accolades at you.”Ethan placed a hand over his hear

Chapter 104: Unveiling Polaris AI

The car glided smoothly down the highway, Marcos keeping one hand on the steering wheel while occasionally glancing at Isabelle. She sat beside him, arms crossed, staring out the window. The upcoming meeting with Everton University’s press team was important, but something else was on Marcos’ mind.After a few minutes of silence, he spoke.“ You're Isabelle Rivers, right?” Isabelle turned to face him, surprised that he's talking to her. “Yes, sir.” Marcus laughed lightly. “Sir? Oh please. You're probably older than me. Just call me Marcus.” Isabelle smiled weirdly in response and looked away.“So… I saw the news.”Isabelle didn’t react immediately. “What news?” she asked, not looking at him.Marcos chuckled lightly. “Come on. You and Liam Anderson, the CEO of Anderson Corp—the perfect power couple. The media can’t stop talking about you two. Your face was all over the news last week”At that, Isabelle’s jaw tightened slightly. “Is that so?”“I mean, yeah,” Marcos continued. “Everyw

Chapter 105 – The Truth in the Shadows

The café was quiet, save for the soft chatter of customers and the low hum of an espresso machine behind the counter. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries lingered in the air, but Rachel barely noticed. She sat at a secluded corner table, fingers wrapped around her cup of cappuccino, her eyes darting to the entrance every few seconds.She checked the time. Isabelle was running late, which wasn’t unusual, but Rachel was more on edge than she would normally be.Only Isabelle knew about their meeting place.So how did this mysterious woman know?Rachel’s grip on her cup tightened as she thought about the letter and the USB drive sitting untouched beside her laptop.

Chapter 106: The Scandal Breaks

The tension in PR Horizon’s headquarters was almost suffocating. Every eye in the conference room was fixed on the screen displaying the live data from the Polaris AI launch. The numbers were climbing fast—downloads pouring in by the second. It should have been a moment of celebration, a victory months in the making, but an unsettling silence hung over the room.Allison crossed her arms, tapping her nails against the table impatiently. “Why hasn’t the pressmen from the University you visited uploaded anything yet?”Marcus leaned back in his chair, glancing at Isabelle. “The press team head looks like someone that would do some fact checks and all. Maybe she’s doing some final checks. Besides it's just afternoon, she'll post something.”“She should’ve posted something already, wasn't our agreement with her 11 o clock in the morning?” Allison snapped. “Isabelle, call her. See what’s taking so long. I can't take any slip ups or mistakes from college students.”Isabelle didn’t need to be

Chapter 108 - A Shoulder to Lean On

Isabelle stepped into the house, her entire body weighed down with exhaustion. It felt like she had been running on fumes the entire day, constantly on edge, constantly pushing forward, but never getting any closer to the truth. The scandal, the media, Vivian’s betrayal, Rachel’s disappearance—it was all too much.She shut the door behind her and let out a slow breath, rubbing her temples.Then, she noticed him.Liam was sitting on the couch in the dimly lit living room, one leg crossed over the other, his elbows resting on his knees. The sharp angles of his face were cast in shadow, but she could still see the tension in his clenched jaw, the storm brewing in his piercing blue eyes.He was waiting for her.The air between them was thick, heavy with unspoken words and bottled-up emotions."Liam," she murmured, surprised to see him.He stood up slowly, his movements deliberate, his gaze never leaving hers.

"So are you. I figured you wouldn’t be able to sleep with everything going on."Isabelle rasied a eyebrow at him. “I'm married Ethan. I slept well.” Ethan rolled his eyes. “Ouch, my fault for being single. I don't know what married life feels like.”She laughed, rubbing her temples. "You're not completely wrong, the
