I scrolled through the document, rereading every line, hoping I had misunderstood. But there it was - clear as day. 25% of the company’s shares, transferred to Aria’s name. My jaw tightened.
I closed the laptop, exhaling slowly through my nose. “When did this happen?” I finally asked, my voice tighter than I intended.

She really thought she could force this into something real. That by giving Aria shares, by tying her to the company, she could make this marriage mean something.
The most annoying part is they all kept me in the dark.
