Katherina couldn’t quite process what was happening. Just yesterday, she was a nameless face in a skyscraper full of people too busy to notice her. Now, the most powerful man she knew, Michael Owen, was looking at her as if she were the most important person in the world. Her heart raced, caught between disbelief…
The silence in the car was thick, almost suffocating, but Katherina’s mind was a whirlwind of questions. Why was Michael doing this? What did he mean by saving her life? But before she could voice any of these thoughts, Michael spoke. “I owe you an explanation—and an apology,” he began, his voice tinged with a…

Under the guise of picking up a new hobby, she had become proficient in emergency skydiving techniques. Today, that training would be her lifeline. As she plummeted downward, Amelia’s hands moved with precision, pulling the emergency parachute cord she had cleverly concealed…

Within minutes, a helicopter dispatched by her private security detail was en route to her location, prepared to extract her from the situation and bring her…
As Amelia touched down softly on the sand, her heart was a mix of relief and sadness. She had survived, her child was safe, and justice would soon be served, but the realization that the man she once loved had betrayed her was a heavy burden to bear. Yet, there was strength in her resolve….
I stood there in stunned disbelief, my mind spinning with the words I had just heard. Me, the owner of Whitmore Industries? It felt surreal, like I had stepped into another person’s life.
