Chapter 150 Chapter 150: She was shivering. Her coat was thin, and the dampness from her wet pant legs was seeping up her calves. A car slowed down in front of her. For a second, her heart leaped. Liam? The window rolled down. It wasn’t Liam. It was her mother.

Chapter 149 Chapter 149: “It’s a security feed in a company warehouse,” Skye said, her voice smooth. “Standard protocol. We have to ensure the sanitation engineers are performing their duties p> Skye set the coffee cup down. The ceramic clicked against the glass desk. “She isn’t breaking yet,” Skye observed.

Chapter 148 Chapter 148: She looked out the window at the rising sun. She had won this round. She had humiliated her enemies and claimed her power. But she knew the war was not over. A rat is most dangerous when it’s cornered, and Seraphina Miller was definitely cornered. Skye

Chapter 146 Chapter 146: She began to walk toward the stage. The crowd parted like the Red Sea. They stared at her with new eyes. The way she walked. The suit. The authority. It wasn’t arrogance—it was ownership. “She owns the place?” a junior exec whispered to his colleague. “How?

And… she is using her body to get favors from our talent,

Chapter 144 Chapter 144: Skye reached the elevator bank. She stopped and turned around. She looked at the scene: Liam, red-faced and cruel. Seraphina, wet and humiliated on the floor. Skye met Liam’s eyes. She didn’t look angry. She looked bored. “Pathetic, Liam,” she said. The elevator doors opened. She

Chapter 143 Chapter 143: Skye watched Liam leave. She touched the brooch again. Her phone buzzed in her pocket. Alistair: Did he cry? Skye smiled. A real smile. Skye: Almost. You’re enjoying this too much. Alistair: I enjoy anything that involves you winning. Liam was blind with rage as he

Chapter 142 Chapter 142: He slammed the doors shut behind him. The sound made the glass walls vibrate. “You let him brand you,” Liam spat, marching toward her. “Like cattle. Is that what you wanted? To be Thorne’s property p> Skye didn’t jump. She finished reading a paragraph, highlighted a

Chapter 141 Chapter 141: Skye touched the cool metal of the brooch. She looked at Liam with pity. “I accepted safety, Liam,” she said. “Something you never gave me p> Alistair guided her toward his car. He opened the door for her, shielding her head with his hand. They drove

Chapter 140 Chapter 140: Skye stopped. She laughed, loud enough for the onlookers to hear through the glass. “Just us?” Skye asked. “You slept with her, Liam. You brought her into our home. We are done p> The employees inside gasped. Seraphina’s face went beet red as people turned to

Chapter 139 Chapter 139: Skye and Gabriel entered the conference room. The door clicked shut. “Hey! Coffee! Now!” Manager Zoe yelled from down the hall. Seraphina jumped, spilling hot latte over her hand. She didn’t feel the burn. She only felt the thrill. She had dirt. She had a weapon.

Chapter 138 Chapter 138: “You want to keep her close,” Harper surmised. “I want to break her,” Skye corrected. “And I want to make sure she doesn’t have time to plot anything else p> Two days later. Seraphina walked into the lobby of Trinity Media. She wore her last clean

Chapter 137 Chapter 137: “Cash up front,” he grunted. Seraphina dug into the lining of her purse and found a stash of cash—three hundred dollars she had stolen from Liam’s wallet months ago “just in case.” She paid for two nights. The room was small. It smelled of stale cigarette

Chapter 136 Chapter 136: She opened the door a crack. Two large men in uniforms and a woman in a severe grey suit stood there. The woman held a clipboard. “Ms. Miller,” the woman said, not asking. “This is an immediate eviction notice. The leaseholder, Mr. Kensington, has terminated the

Chapter 135 Chapter 135: “Yes, Ms. Sterling.” The guard stepped in front of Liam, his broad chest forming a wall. Skye walked to the elevator. She didn’t look back. She pressed the button for the penthouse. As the doors slid shut, she saw Liam still standing there, shouting something the

Chapter 134 Chapter 134: Skye dressed in silence, leaning against the wall for support every time her balance wavered. She touched the bandage on her hand. The pain was dull, a throbbing reminder of her own desperation. She took a private car back to The Spire. The city was washing

Chapter 133 Chapter 133: Alistair signaled to his men. Two of them went to the basement door and dragged Timothy Hayes up. He was conscious, but barely. His face was a ruin of bruises, and he walked with a limp that suggested a broken knee. “He comes with me,” Alistair

Chapter 132 Chapter 132: “You…” Arthur’s voice broke. “You told him he could p> Petunia looked up, her eyes wild. She rushed toward Arthur, clutching his wet sleeve. “Arthur, please! I did it for us! For Victor! We need the money! Skye has millions sitting in those accounts, and she
