Chapter 50

~Snow’s POV~

Jupiter raised an eyebrow, swirling his glass. "Business rivals getting under your skin? Or is there something more personal at play?"

I clenched my jaw. "Let’s just say, they’ve been making moves that I don’t like. I need you to find out exactly what they’re planning."

Jupiter took a slow sip of his whisky before setting the glass down with a decisive clink. "Alright. I’ll get my team on it. Dig deep, right? No stone left unturned?" _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

"Exactly," I confirmed, leaning back slightly, my mind already spinning with the possibilities of what he might find. "Also, factor in Zara Zarek. What is Ivan planning and how is it related to her."

Jupiter was shocked momentarily. "Zara Zarek... your wife?"

"Nothing personal. Ivan has been playing sneaky games. I trust her but him, I don’t. As well as everything on Marcus. As extensive as possible."

"Sure, sure, boss."

My brows knitted. "You do not understand, Ju. The old man warned me about him."

"Ah, I see." He picked up his whiskey again, took a swig and nodded.

"Anyways, I’ll need to go home now."

Jupiter smirked, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he studied me. "You’ve got that look in your eye. The one that says you’re planning something big. But I can’t help but wonder... is this about business, or something else? Could it be... the wife?"

I stiffened slightly, caught off guard by his comment, but I recovered quickly, smirking back. "What can I say? Zara’s a handful."

"A handful, huh?" Jupiter chuckled, his eyes narrowing in amusement. "You know, Snow, I’ve known you for a long time, and I’ve never seen you quite like this. You’re actually eager to go home. To your wife."

"I’ve got things to teach her," I said, keeping my tone casual, though I knew Jupiter could see right through me.

"Oh, I bet you do. Does it involve you burying your face between her legs or..." Jupiter teased, leaning forward, his grin widening.

"Not everything is sex, Ju. I’m not you."

"Exactly! You need to loosen up like me sometimes. Have fun while you’re young."

"I’m in my thirties."

"So?" He shook his head. "How about Glacier? I know that wolf of yours can never side with you."

Glacier pushed forward, my eyes glowing red briefly, revealing his presence to Jupiter. "He says hi."

Jupiter leaned back. "Hi, Glaz," before shifting to me. "But let’s be real for a second. You’ve found the one, haven’t you? Don’t even try to deny it."

I scoffed, but there was no real edge to it. "She’s not the ’one,’ Jupiter. She’s a contract wife. Once pops off my back, the deal is off."

"Uh-huh." He arched a brow, clearly not buying it. "And yet here you are, looking like you’re ready to rip apart anyone who so much as looks at her the wrong way. Don’t even say otherwise. I saw the scandal and dug deep. You can’t fool me, Snow. You’re more invested than you want to admit."
