Scarlett POV
Ditching the Jaxen-centered life felt like finally breathing fresh air.
No more orbiting around him, no more twisting myself into knots to keep his attention.
My new role at Great Vision had real teeth, challenging projects that filled my head from the second I woke until I crashed at night. Work was my new obsession, and I was damn good at it.
Tonight, Denise Scott was dragging me to a high-stakes business dinner.
Different crowds, different rules.
As President’s Assistant at Hale Group, I’d tagged along to these things with Jaxen, but nobody saw me as an employee. I was just the Alpha’s wife, the shiny accessory on his arm.
That identity shift meant I had to show up differently now.
Professional. Focused. No bullshit.
Like picking the perfect restaurant. Done.
