The Tycoon's Pawn

Over the next few weeks, Kiara and Mike began the slow process of rebuilding—not just the company, but their lives. Robinson Enterprises had survived the storm, and with Ruddy's criminal empire in shambles, they could finally focus on moving the company in the direction they had always envisioned. There were board meetings, legal matters to settle, and PR disasters to manage, but with each passing day, the weight on their shoulders lightened, if only a little.

Kiara found herself in the boardroom more often than not, working late into the night to ensure that every piece of Ruddy's twisted legacy was dismantled. There were times when the exhaustion threatened to overwhelm her, but she pushed through, driven by the knowledge that she was finally in control of her own future.
