The humid air of the valley area was something I definitely didn't miss about Wisconsin. It clouded my nostrils the second we stepped onto the metal stairs of the passenger bridge, and I sniffed in frustration.

Kassidy's POVMy temporary apartment felt like a relief after what had happened with Eli that afternoon. It was the weekend, which meant that I had survived five days of the first batch of brutal meetings. I kept pacing from the kitchen to the window, unable to settle down until the doorbell rang. Opening it to see Celeste standing there with a bag of takeout and a warm smile felt like a lifeline. I breathed a sigh of relief, welcoming her inside and sinking onto the couch beside her.We unpacked the containers of noodles on the coffee table, the scent of garlic and soy sauce filling the small living room. For the first hour, we deliberately kept away from any talk of corporate acquisitions or the man running them."I still can't believe you're a senior associate now, babe," Celeste said, twisting a forkful of noodles. "I remember when you were staying up until three in the morning and crying over tort law."I laughed, the sound lifting some of the heaviness from my shoulders. "Trust

Kassidy's POVThe acquisition negotiations continued over the following days, forcing Eli and me into constant contact. Every single morning began the exact same way. I would walk into the boardroom of Ashford Holdings and find him already seated at the head of the table. It was terrifying how quickly the old rhythm returned, even now that he was operating under a different name."The indemnity clause needs to be capped at five million dollars, Miss Townsend," Eli said during the Tuesday afternoon session. He tapped his pen on his folder, his dark eyes locked onto mine. "Ashford Holdings will not assume unlimited liability for warehouse structures built before the 2020 regulatory updates."I didn't need to look down at my notes to formulate a counter-strategy. I already knew exactly how his mind operated. "But if we cap the indemnity at five million, Mr. Ashford, our firm will require a proportional reduction in the fina

Kassidy's POVThe reunion with Eli had left me emotionally unsettled, but more than anything, it convinced me even more that Eli can never learn about my daughter.I sat on the closed lid of the toilet, my hands still damp from the cold water, staring at the white tile floor of the corporate bathroom. My mind was spinning out of control. But the initial shock was quickly hardening into something else: a fierce determination. He could never find out about Summer.I had dragged myself through law school, survived the sleepless nights with a newborn, and built a safe, happy world in Austin. And I was not going to let him pull down the walls of the sanctuary I fought so hard to create. We would be strangers who happened to share a boardroom table and nothing more.With that resolution in my heart, I stood up, smoothed down the wrinkles in my skirt, and opened the bathroom door. When I got back to w

Elijah's POVIt took me every house of control I had to not lose my mind in the office. I managed to get through the rest of the day with only one question on my mind.What the fuck was Kassidy doing here?!The moment I got home, I threw my keys onto the kitchen counter. I couldn't sit down, I couldn't stand still, or do anything else, really. I pulled at the knot of my tie, ripping the top button of my shirt open just to breathe properly.Seeing Kassidy again had broken apart the carefully controlled life I had spent four years building. Four years of trying to convince myself that I had done the right thing by letting her go forever.But the moment she walked into that boardroom, every single defense I had constructed turned to dust. She was so different now, no longer the broken girl who had left Minnesota State University. People respected her the moment she opened her mouth, I saw it right there and then in the meeting. She had become the lawyer she had always wanted to be. And y

Kassidy's POVI fiddled with the front buttons of my tailored gray blazer as the elevator doors slid open on the executive floor of Ashford Holdings the next day. Beside me, my colleagues: David, a senior partner, and Sarah, our quick-witted junior associate, were busy reviewing notes on their digital tablets. I took a calm breath, preparing myself for another difficult corporate client. I fully expected to meet Elijah Ashford, I was sure he was just another hardened businessman who would try to test my expertise the moment we sat down. But I would beat him down the way I did Mr Henderson."Remember, Kassidy," David muttered as we stepped out into the reception hallway. "Ashford Holdings is looking for efficiency. They want to make sure we know our onions, so, be prepared for a tough crowd.""I am always prepared, David," I replied and he smiled reassuringly.We were guided by a polite receptionist down a long hallway lined with abstract art, eventually stopping before a set of doubl

It clouded my nostrils the second we stepped onto the metal stairs of the passenger bridge, and I sniffed in frustration.Hudson Falls did not have an airport, which is why I had used this one, the closest to the town. I squeezed Summer's small hand in mine, adjusting the strap of my leather travel bag on my shoulder as we walked into the bustling terminal."Mommy, are we in the new house yet?" Summer asked, pulling on my arm as she hopped over a crack in the linoleum floor. "Is it going to have a big yard for the purple horses?""Not yet, sweetie," I replied, offering her a calm smile as we followed the signs toward the b

Kassidy's POVLast night was wild, or should I say crazy and unbelievable. I had been in bed for maybe an hour, drifting toward sleep, when I heard a thud followed by a loud moan from the room next door, and then another quickly after the first. I could recognize that voice even in my worst nightm
