Andre eyed the household troublemaker, teeth clenched. "Got a genius plan, do you?"

Noah shrugged. "What if we just announce-no women allowed?"

Andre didn't even blink before speaking for his wife. "Mia would call out The Silent Ring for sexism before I could even finish the sentence. She'd be after them-and after me, too." He could already picture her, tiny and fierce, finger pointed right at him.

Noah threw up his hands. "What can I say? You started The Silent Ring, and the woman you fell for is smack in the middle of it." He grinned. "Boss, ever realize you and your wife were always going to find each other?"

Andre paused, caught off guard.

Noah pressed on, "Look-she crashes The Silent Ring, she's working for you. You'd have met. If Leo ends up running the company, she's his pal, so you'd cross paths at the first big party. If, someday, you find your long-lost sister, then your wife becomes her sister-in-law-another guaranteed run-in. Boss, I swear, Leo and your sister are basically fate's little helpers, making sure you and your wife keep meeting."

If Andre hadn't married her, there'd be no son, and Leo would inherit everything. But even then, fate would have thrown his wife back into his orbit.

Finding his sister was tough, but after fifteen years of searching, Andre wasn't about to quit now. The moment he found her, his wife would turn up in his world all over again.

And really, Havenbrook wasn't exactly New York-sooner or later, whether through business between the Cedillo Group and the Irwin family, or just at some society wedding or glitzy party, their circles would overlap.

Now, thanks to his wife, Andre had a son and a new life. Leo could finally chase his own dreams, free from family expectations. His long-lost sister was coming home. The once-cold, distant Andre was learning to warm up.

His relationship with his dad was softening-he didn't always have to speak for himself anymore; someone else had his back.
