The CEO’s Only Exception S2 | Chapter 5: “Beside Me. Don’t Speak for Me.” 💛 | Uncut Version (Patreon)

Claire wants Victoria beside her. She’s just not letting anyone else tell her story.​

A stolen spotlight becomes something far worse when Claire sees her own design unveiled under someone else’s name. With buyers backing away and a crucial payment frozen, everything she’s worked for suddenly feels dangerously fragile.​

But even on the hardest night, there’s still room for stolen kisses, a little flirting, and an argument over who gets the bigger piece of chocolate. Victoria is learning when to step closer—and Claire is learning she doesn’t have to fix everything before asking to be held. 💛​

While Victoria offers support without taking control, Sloane offers a way out with a very different future attached. Claire knows the difference, and she’s done letting someone else decide for her.​

Then the fallout reaches HALE—and the life they’ve built together faces another test…​
