His Missing Piece Chapter 6: Shadows and rivals
The executive floor of Aura Corp's glass skyscraper was bright with the kind of light that made everything look cleaner than it was. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows the coastal skyline stretched out in endless blue, but inside Rosalie's private office the atmosphere was warm and alive with low laughter.Rosalie sat back in her armchair, a soft relaxed smile on her lips. On the dark plush rug little Leo sat cross-legged, engrossed in assembling the model drone. Beside him was a man whose presence commanded respect in every major financial capital in the country Julian Thorne. At thirty two Julian was the head of Thorne Capital, a powerful venture firm closely allied with the Sterling Network. He was handsome, charismatic, and carried a quiet easy confidence that never felt forced. More importantly he treated Rosalie not as a broken woman needing rescue but as an equal in the business world."If you adjust the micro-rotor on the left wing Leo the stability sensors will aut
His Missing Piece chapter 5: The test in the grass
Ethan had taken no chances. An hour before the meeting he had called Mark with strict orders clear the park of all visitors, secure every entrance, and deploy security at every gate to ensure complete privacy. He wanted no distractions, no media, and no unexpected eyes on his son. Now at 1:15 PM the park was completely empty. High iron gates and security guards kept the noise of the city outside, leaving only the sound of wind moving through the pine trees.Ethan had arrived forty-five minutes early. He wore a dark charcoal sweater and dark trousers, leaving behind his usual tailored suits. There was no team of assistants, the executive bodyguards were at a distance not up close as usual. He stood near a wooden bench, his hands tucked deep into his pockets, his shoulders tight with an anxiety he hadn't felt in a decade.At 2:00 PM precisely a dark SUV pulled up to the garden entrance.Ethan's heart slammed against his ribs. Through the tinted glass he caught a glimpse of Ros
His Missing Piece Chapter 4: what he owed her
The presidential suite on the top floor of the coastal city's most exclusive hotel offered a full view of the ocean, but to Ethan Vance it was just another room he didn't want to be in.He sat on the edge of the leather sofa, In front of him on the coffee table sat two things. A photograph of Rosalie and their son. And a file thick enough to hold five years of a life he had missed entirely.Mark stood by the door, keeping quiet. He had served the Vance family for over a decade but he had never seen Ethan like this. He sat with his shoulders dropped, his hands loose in his lap. Nothing about him resembled the man who had once walked into rooms like he owned them, he had gone quiet in a way that had nothing to do with peace."Read it to me," Ethan's voice rasped into the silence, dry and worn. "Every detail of the last five years. Don't leave anything out."Mark stepped forward, opening his laptop. "After leaving the hospital five years ago, Mrs. Vance""Rosalie," Ethan corrected
His Missing Piece The price of regret
For five years, the Vance mansion felt less like an empire and more like an empty room nobody wanted to be in.Ethan Vance sat in his dimly lit office on the top floor of the Vance Group skyscraper, a glass of scotch resting untouched on the desk. He stared out at the city skyline and saw nothing. His face had forgotten how to feel anything. The grey strands of hair growing out was the visible sign of what was eating him alive.Five years ago the truth had shattered him. And the moment he found that crumpled pregnancy test in Rosalie's drawer he had torn the world apart in hope of making amends for his mistakes.He had spared no one. The morning after Rosalie vanished he stripped Eleanor of every card, every asset, every luxury tied to the Vance name and moved her to a modest apartment on the outskirts of the city, far from the circles she valued more than people. Chloe met a harsher fate. He exposed her scheme publicly, blacklisted her family from the business world and left her
His Missing Piece The truth in the rain
The freezing downpour slammed against the glass doors of the hospital as Ethan stepped back inside, his coat heavy and drenched with rain. Water droplets trailed down his jawline but he didn't feel the chill. His chest felt tight, his heart still hammering with that same irrational panic that had gripped him the moment Rosalie walked away. His ego had told him she was playing a game, that she was waiting on the sidewalk for him to chase her. But the empty rain-slicked streets had proven him wrong. She had vanished into the dark without a trace, leaving his wealth, his name, and his life behind without a single glance.He walked down the sterile corridor, his steps muffled by the quiet of the late-night ward, heading back toward the intensive care unit. As he approached the semi-private recovery room where Chloe had been transferred, he noticed the door was cracked open. A sliver of warm light cut through the dim hallway.Ethan paused, his hand hovering near the handle as a low hush
His Missing Piece The breaking point
Chapter 1: The Breaking PointThe burn on her cheek was the only thing she could feel."You absolute parasite!" Eleanor's voice shook with a venom that matched the force of the slap she had just delivered. She stood breathing heavily, her manicured fingers still trembling with rage. You ruined my son's life, you dragged our family name through the mud, and for what? To end up precisely where you belong in the gutter.Rosalie didn't move. She didn't press her hand to her cheek, nor did she look up to meet Eleanor's cold glare. Instead, she kept her eyes on the sterile hospital tiles, watching a stray drop of rainwater slowly dry against the porcelain.Eleanor's eyes narrowed when Rosalie said nothing. She stepped closer, as if silence was an insult she couldn't let go of. She paced the narrow corridor, the sharp, clicking of her designer heels echoing in the quiet hall. I knew from the moment you came to our home that you Were trouble. You think you can just walk away f
