"Victoria," a familiar voice called, freezing me in place.I spun around, my breath catching in my throat. Daniel Langston. The man I hadn't seen in years. The man whose sudden departure once left a void I had convinced myself was never truly there. His blue eyes gleamed with a mixture of nostalgia and something far more dangerous—curiosity."Daniel?" I stammered, my voice faltering. "What are you doing here?"He flashed that same charming smile that used to weaken my knees. "Business in the city. But seeing you? Pure fate." His gaze flickered to my stomach, his brows furrowing slightly before he masked his reaction. "Looks like life has been...eventful."I instinctively placed a hand over my growing belly. "You could say that."His expression softened. "I heard about everything. The scandal, the divorce... I'm sorry, Victoria. You deserved better."The weight of his words pressed against my chest. Hearing sympathy from someone who once held a piece of my heart stirred emotions I wasn

Chapter: Chapter 14: Selene’s Offer
"Victoria, you should sit down," Selene said, her voice dripping with an unsettling calm. She stood at the edge of my living room, dressed in a sleek black dress that screamed power and danger. The woman had always been elegant, but tonight, there was something venomous about her presence."I’m fine standing," I replied, my arms folded tightly across my chest. "Say what you came to say and leave."She let out a soft laugh. "Always so bold. That’s what I admire about you. And what made you such a threat."I clenched my jaw. "Get to the point, Selene."Her lips curled into a smile. "Do you really think Elias has changed? That he’s this nobleman now, ready to play house with you and the baby?"My heart skipped a beat, but I kept my face neutral. "I don’t need your opinions on Elias or my life.""Oh, but you do," she said, stepping closer. "Because there are things about Elias you don’t know. Things he didn’t want you to find out."I narrowed my eyes. "Like what?"She pulled out a sleek t

Chapter: Chapter 13: A Risky Gamble
"Elias, this is madness," I said, pacing the length of his office. "You're walking straight into her trap."He leaned back in his leather chair, a flicker of defiance in his eyes. "You underestimate me, Victoria. Selene's been playing chess, but I’m about to checkmate her.""With what? That secret ledger?" I stopped pacing and glared at him. "You think waltzing into the board meeting with some book of illegal transactions will magically take her down?"Elias stood, his powerful presence filling the room. "It's not just any ledger. It has everything—offshore accounts, fraudulent deals, and even bribes to certain officials. Once the board sees it, Selene's reign is over.""You're too confident." My voice trembled with frustration. "Selene's not some rookie who got lucky. She's cunning and ruthless. What if she already knows about the ledger? What if she has a backup plan?"His jaw clenched. "That's a risk I'm willing to take."I crossed my arms. "Well, I'm not. I can't watch you destroy

Chapter: Chapter 12: Shadows of the Past
"Have you seen the news?" Elias's voice was sharp as he entered my office without knocking.I looked up from my laptop, confusion tightening my brow. "No, why?"He tossed a sleek tablet onto my desk; the screen already lit up with a breaking news headline: Victoria Lancaster: The True Mastermind Behind Westbrook Scandal? Beneath it was a grainy photo of me, taken during one of my rare outings, looking haggard and far from the poised image I once projected.I sucked in a breath. "This... this is ridiculous.""Read the article." His jaw was clenched, and I could see the barely contained fury in his eyes.My fingers trembled as I scrolled through the text. It was a hatchet job, filled with fabricated accusations and twisted half-truths. According to the so-called investigative piece, I had not only embezzled millions but had also orchestrated a plot to ruin Elias's reputation. It painted me as a vindictive mastermind who had used love as a weapon."This is Selene, isn't it?" My voice cra

Chapter: Chapter 11: The Price of Betrayal
“You can’t trust anyone in this world,” the gravelly voice declared from across the dimly lit room. The speaker, a shadowy figure with a scar running along his temple, leaned forward. His face remained obscured, but his words cut through the tension like a blade. “Not even your family.” Elias’s jaw clenched. “We already know that firsthand. Just give us the evidence.” The man slid a thick envelope across the table. “These are copies of financial transactions linking Selene Westbrook to off-shore accounts and illegal dealings. You’ll also find correspondence with a shadow organization. It’s all there—enough to bury her.” My breath hitched. Selene’s betrayal ran deeper than I had ever imagined. Seeing the proof in front of us made the nightmare we’d lived through feel even more real. “Why are you helping us?” I asked, my voice steady despite the storm brewing inside me. He smirked. “Let’s just say I have my reasons. But I’m not doing this out of charity. There’s a price.” El

"Victoria, you need to see this." Elias's voice was tight with urgency as he held his phone out to me. His brows furrowed, and a muscle ticked in his jaw—a look I’d come to recognize as his prelude to war. I crossed the room, my heart racing. "What is it?" He tapped the screen, bringing up an encrypted email. The subject line alone sent a chill down my spine: Selene Westbrook: Unauthorized Transactions and Shadow Dealings. "Who sent this?" I whispered, scanning the message. "No name, just a signature: X." I narrowed my eyes. "X? That's cryptic." "Whoever this is, they have access to Selene’s financial records," Elias said, his voice hard. "Look at the transfers—massive sums funneled to offshore accounts linked to an organization flagged for illegal activities." I felt the blood drain from my face. "If this gets out, it won't just ruin Selene—it could destroy the entire Westbrook empire." "Good," Elias said through gritted teeth. "She deserves to lose everything." "El
