“The candidates have presented.”

Grandfather’s voice carried across the ballroom.

“We will now proceed to recommendations.”

The head of the Becker family stood first.

“The Asher family structure,” he began smoothly,

“has stood the test of time.”

“It has made you valuable allies.”

“I support Adrian Wyatt.”

Predictable.

The Vinni head followed.

Echoing the same sentiment.

Tradition.

Continuity.

Control.

Mr. Sun stood.

“She offers structure,” he said.

Mrs. Sun followed.

“She protects what others o

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Behind the computer

    Amber POVTwo days after we returned to Sum, my phone rang while I was going through the twins' medical appointments.I didn't even need to look at the screen."Mr. Stait?""Good morning, Amber."I smiled and put the tablet aside."Please tell me you're finally calling with instructions. Jason volunteered me before even asking if I wanted to join."Mr. Stait laughed on the other side of the line."He was surprisingly enthusiastic.""Of course he was. He gets to sit comfortably in his office while I get recruited by the military.""I'm sure he would disagree with that description."I narrowed my eyes, immediately suspicious."That's exactly the kind of answer that makes me think he's hiding something."Mr. Stait chuckled."Maybe."I sat back in my chair."So, what are my orders?""There will be an international reconnaissance exercise in the Pacific. The best candidates from each allied country will participate.""A military exercise?""Think of it as an oversized game of capture the f

    Amber POVThe castle was silent.For the first time in days, there were no reporters outside the gates, no lawyers calling every ten minutes, no helicopters following us from above.Only silence.I had spent the evening checking on the children every hour.Alice had kicked her blanket onto the floor at some point, while Alex was sleeping with the bedside lamp still on.Neither of them wanted the darkness anymore.Neither of them wanted to be alone.I couldn't blame them.By the time I returned to our room, Jason had just stepped out of the shower.He looked exhausted.Not the kind of exhaustion that sleep could fix.The kind that settled into your bones after too much fear, too much guilt, and too many sleepless nights.He sat on the edge of the bed to remove his watch, but halfway through the movement, his shoulders slumped forward.For a second, I genuinely thought he was going to fall."Jason?"He let out a tired laugh."I'm fine.""That's the third time you've said that today.""I

    Amber POVTwelve hours.Jason drove for twelve hours without stopping.Not once.The sun had disappeared and risen again while we crossed highways, mountains, and empty roads, yet he never asked me to take the wheel.He simply kept driving.I had offered at least twenty times."Jason, let me drive for a while.""I'm fine."That was always his answer."I'm fine."But he wasn't.I could see it in the dark circles under his eyes and in the way his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles had turned white hours ago.And somehow, the children understood.Alice, who usually complained after twenty minutes in the car, hadn't said a word.Alex hadn't asked to stop, either.Not even for the bathroom.They sat quietly in the back, curled up beneath blankets, occasionally glancing out the windows whenever we passed another car.They were scared.Terrified.And it broke my heart.Because this was exactly what I had wanted to avoid.The court hearings.The reporters.The threa

    Amber POVThree hours later, we arrived at the airport.Alice was asleep on my shoulder while Alex walked beside Jason, dragging his small suitcase.We were halfway to the plane when Jason suddenly stopped.His entire body tensed."Wait."I turned toward him."What happened?"He was staring at the cockpit."Who's flying that plane?"The airport employee frowned."Our usual crew."Jason didn't move."No."His voice had become frighteningly calm."That's not my pilot."My heart skipped a beat."What?"Jason narrowed his eyes."The uniform."I looked at him, confused."The safety clip is missing.""What safety clip?"Jason immediately pulled out his phone."The one my old unit uses to signal that everything is secure."Within seconds, he was making calls.Emory.Mr. Stait.Former members of his military team.The atmosphere changed instantly.Men in military uniforms stormed the runway.The pilot tried to run.He barely made it ten meters.Alice woke up crying as armed soldiers surrounde

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   On paper

    Amber POVThe judge's ruling had protected the children.On paper.In reality, I knew it wasn't enough.Because I had seen Alexander's face when the results came back.Shock.Confusion.And something else.Certainty.He had looked at Alex the entire time, as if he were trying to force reality to match whatever he believed in his mind.Maybe he was finally questioning his own bloodline.Maybe he was beginning to wonder whether Malcolm Vincent had lied to him his entire life.Or maybe he had simply accepted that Alex happened to resemble his younger brother.I didn't know.And that uncertainty terrified me.Because one thing was clear: Alexander Vincent had not given up.We were leaving the courthouse, surrounded by lawyers and security, when someone stepped in front of us.Alexander.Immediately, I moved.I pushed Alice and Alex behind me and placed a hand protectively over my stomach.Jason stepped closer to my side.Alexander barely glanced at him.His eyes were fixed on me."I don't

    Amber POVThe day of the trial arrived under a gray sky.By seven in the morning, dozens of reporters had already gathered outside the tribunal. News vans occupied half the street, cameras pointed toward the entrance as if they were waiting for a royal scandal instead of a custody hearing involving two children.Jason helped me out of the car, one hand on my back and the other protecting my growing stomach from the crowd."Are you okay?" he asked quietly.I nodded, although the truth was that I hadn't slept at all.Three hours before the hearing, every gossip column in the country had exploded with the same headline.LEAKED AUDIO: ALEXANDER VINCENT OFFERED TO DROP THE CASE IF AMBER AGREED TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN.The recording contained only Alexander's side of our conversation."No more hearings. No more lawyers. I only need heirs.""If you agree to be with me, I'll let all of this go.""You could stop everything."Without my responses, the conversation somehow looked even worse for him

    We moved quickly through the hallway. Adrian walked behind me, gun raised, covering the corridor while I forced Henry Watson forward. The mansion was quieter than expected. Too quiet. Which meant either the guards were regrouping… or Jason was already on his way. I glanced over my shoulder.

    It did not take long for Victoria to fabricate a lie, but the explosion didn’t come from the board.It came from a live broadcast.Victoria stood behind a polished podium, composed as ever.

    They called her in. No delay. No warning. The door opened ten minutes later. Amelie walked in looking immaculate — refreshed, polished, perfectly styled. Not a trace of nerves in her posture. At least not until her eyes landed on me. For a fraction of a second, the color drained from her face

    I didn’t cry. I didn’t shake. I didn’t look back, or mourned the life and the years i will never get back, lost forever. I just went home, time to pack and say goodbye to my old life. The penthouse doors opened with biometric recognition the moment I stepped inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass. Marb
