Chapter 325: Concerns

"An interesting psychological profile. She is not conquered in the traditional sense, but claimed through an act of salvation. The bond formed through rescue and restoration is different from one forged through seduction, but no less powerful. She perceives you as her savior, which creates a distinct form of devotion."

ARIA took the liberty to tell me how my relationship with charlotte was progressing instead of what I actually asked. Her reason? How would I know.

Madison smirked. "She’s completely in love with you, you know. Has been since you saved her company."

"I know," I said, the truth of it simple and absolute. "But that realization has to be hers alone. Charlotte isn’t someone you claim with overwhelming force. She’s someone you earn with patience, protection, and demonstrated worth."

"The long game," Amanda observed, a note of respect in her voice. "I respect that."

My phone rang, cutting through the strategic planning. Ava’s name flashed on the screen.

I answered. "Ava."

"We have a problem," she said, her voice stripped of its usual cool composure, stretched tight with genuine alarm. "A significant one."

"Define it."

"The kind where my colleagues- and some are playing two sides- are scrambling to identify who’s been backing Charlotte Thompson. They know someone with formidable, almost impossible capabilities has been feeding her intelligence, coordinating her defense—the same someone who has been systematically dismantling the vultures’ entire operation."
