The Inner Court

Living up to her name, Antonia Marie Vasquez-Carvajal is calm, strategic, and stealthy.

In boardrooms, she is controlled.

Precise.

Surgical.

Always ten steps ahead.

And strategy was never limited to business.

What did the Queen Bee do to ensure Artemis Samaniego would always be within reach?

Every step was calculated. Every move intentional. Every path quietly aligned.

Nothing was accidental.

Nia never does anything by accident.

Even when it comes to the heart.

In this companion installment to The Queen Bee (GL), The Inner Court unveils the shadow plays, silent corrections, and deliberate strikes that shaped their story long before it ever began in public.

Because choosing someone, long before they ever choose you, is an entirely different game.
