London's skyline glittered like a city of diamonds beneath the night sky, the river Thames reflecting every shard of light — alive, vibrant, untamed. From the top floor of the Walker Global Tower, Diana Hattaway stood before the vast glass wall, her silhouette fierce and elegant in a black tailored gown that hugged her like power itself.
Two years.
Two years since she walked out of that courtroom, stripped of her company, her husband, and her name's dignity.
But tonight — she was taking it all back.
Her reflection stared back at her, stronger now. The vulnerability that once lived in her eyes was gone; in its place burned resolve, polished and precise. "Watch me win again," she whispered under her breath, the words slicing through the silence like prophecy.
Behind her, the doors slid open softly.
"Still love your dramatic entrances, don't you?" a deep voice teased — smooth, arrogant, familiar.
Wallace Walker.
The billionaire investor who once bet against her. The same man now standing in her office, holding two glasses of vintage champagne.
"Some things are worth a dramatic entrance," Diana replied coolly, turning to face him. "Like the return of a woman everyone tried to bury."
Wallace smirked. "Oh, I didn't try to bury you. I was just waiting for you to rise. And here you are — the phoenix herself."
She accepted the glass, her eyes steady on his. "Let's not flatter me too soon. We have an empire to rebuild."
He raised his glass. "Then let's toast to that empire — and to the woman who never stays defeated."
Their glasses clinked — sharp, crystal, deliberate.
But beneath that sound, the air was electric. Something unspoken lingered, dangerous and magnetic.
He had power. She had fire.
And together, they were about to set the world ablaze.
