Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love The Art of Allure
“Mr. Windsor would be mesmerized,” Valerie sang as she walked with Calista down the staircase, her arm looped with Calista’s, exuding an aura of elegance and poise.She wore a breathtaking gown designed to command attention and admiration—a deep sapphire blue that highlighted her porcelain skin, sculpted perfectly to her figure.The dress featured a daring, plunging back that swept down to her waist, held delicately by crisscrossed straps. Her toned abdomen was tastefully exposed through a small diamond-shaped cutout, adding just enough allure to catch the eye without overstatement. A high slit ran along one leg, revealing a tantalizing glimpse as she descended the stairs, each step creating a slight sway in the fabric that mesmerized onlookers.“Ranya picked this himself?” Calista asked again, for the hundredth time. “Are you sure?”Valerie let out a throaty laugh. “I’m beginning to doubt if he’ll let you walk out of the house in this perfectly stunning dress.” She stared at Calista

“You must have been so proud...” Signoral’s voice echoed from behind Calista as she turned, pausing briefly before stepping into the restroom to wash her hands. Signoral followed close behind. “Seeing how you had someone who would go to the ends of the earth for your sake.”“I saw just how impatient you were, Emily,” Calista replied, her voice calm yet edged with steely resolve. She crossed her arms after wiping her hands clean, meeting Signoral’s gaze without flinching. “So here I am, honoring your call.”Signoral’s eyes had been on her since they entered the ballroom.A smirk flickered on Signoral’s lips as she leaned against the wall, her gaze sweeping over Calista. “Wise of you,” she replied, her voice dripping with smug satisfaction. “I’d begun to wonder if you’d lost that little edge of yours—the one you seemed to have grown overnight.”Calista lifted her chin defiantly, refusing to play into Signoral’s taunts. “You really went all out, didn’t you? Kidnapping my father… just to

Ranya pushed the door open, holding Calista firmly in his hands while his lips didn't part from hers.It had been so hard to keep his hands off her. So hard that, just minutes from home, he finally couldn't help himself.He kicked the door with his foot, making Calista's body rest against it, her breath hitching at the intensity of his kiss."God, Calista…" he murmured, his eyes burning deeply into hers while his hands moved to her neck, rubbing gently and marveling at her smooth skin.He touched her lips, and she moaned softly against his thumb. Ranya responded with a low growl as he moved his hands down to her legs and lifted her up. Calista quickly wrapped her legs around his waist, still gazing into his eyes."We're taking this elsewhere, baby," Ranya whispered, carrying her upstairs to the bedroom. "You have no idea how much I've waited to touch you like this. I want to do things to you."Calista's lips twitched, speechless as she leaned down and captured his lips with hers.It a

Calista stirred awake, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains casting a warm glow over the room. Her eyes fluttered open, and for a blissful moment, she forgot everything—where she was, who she was supposed to be, and every worry she had been carrying.All that remained was the sensation of Ranya's arms wrapped around her, his steady breathing a comforting rhythm in her ear.She understood now why all her worries had disappeared. She giggled as the events of last night washed over her.Ranya had made love to her in the sweetest way ever. He had worshipped everything about her body and adored even the smallest details.She tilted her head slightly, catching sight of him as he lay peacefully beside her, his face softened in sleep. He looked different in the quiet of the morning, stripped of his usual intensity and resolve.Here, he was vulnerable, and the thought made her heart ache with a gentle longing. Slowly, as if not to wake him, she reached up, tracing her fingers

He hadn’t expected him to be at the desk studying, but then, when you were the president, you put everyone else before yourself.Those were Damian’s thoughts as he entered the private quarters belonging to the president and his wife. Luckily for Damian, the witch was nowhere nearby.She had been pretty occupied herself.He approached the desk where President Lewiston studied reports, his gaze sharp and focused.Damian cleared his throat. “Sir, the social media protests have gained traction. People are rallying behind Ranya over the preservation of his mother’s home.”Lewiston raised an eyebrow, a faint smile creeping across his face. “I am very much aware of how busy Ranya has been, Damian.” He leaned back, his tone laced with a mix of pride and frustration. “So, he wants to take on the President himself, does he? That boy will surely never back down.”“He’s certainly persistent,” Damian agreed, hiding the smile playing at the corner of his lips. “The protest spread fast, and people a

“What in the universe did you mean when you said you didn’t know where she was, Yang?”He couldn’t be serious right now! What she needed to hear was something that would lift her spirits, not tear them down again.That was precisely why she had driven down to her private property. The only thing that seemed to give her solace was her pet.“You don’t call to tell me that nonsense!”Signoral’s voice dripped with venom, each word biting as she paced relentlessly around the open-air area of the property.The atmosphere felt far too hot, too stifling to contain her anger; any further provocation would unleash the fury bottled inside her.Her lioness, Lily, lay on the floor in her cage, gnawing heartily on a chunk of meat that didn’t seem to satisfy her, consuming it in anticipation of something far more filling.“I’m telling you nothing but the truth,” Yang replied cautiously, his voice trembling slightly, aware of her rage. “I won the case to keep the child, but in the next moment, Vivian

“Wait, all of this—this entire building, is for my coffee shop?” Calista’s voice echoed in awe as she stepped through the massive double doors, her gaze sweeping over the expansive, high-ceilinged space.He had told her he wanted to show her something he hoped she would like. And for fuck’s sake, she loved it.Ranya was just too full of surprises.Ranya grinned, folding his arms as he leaned against the entrance. “Well, you didn’t expect me to give you anything less, did you?”Calista turned to him, a mix of excitement and exasperation in her eyes. “Ranya, this is…huge! I wanted to do this myself,” she insisted, though her smile betrayed her excitement. “You know how important it is for me to feel like I built this from the ground up.”“I’m not taking that away from you,” he replied calmly. “I’m just giving you a foundation, an empty canvas. Everything else is up to you—decor, equipment, design. This place will have your touch, Calista. All of it.”She gazed back at him with a wide sm

“Sir, we’ve arrived.”Anthony barely registered Felix’s voice as he opened the car door, his mind lost in the cold, turbulent waters of his thoughts.Calista’s rejection in California still played vividly in his mind; her words had stung like a bee, and no matter how he tried, he couldn’t stop them from ringing repeatedly in his ears. Her disappointment had been so evident.The Calista he had once known now saw him as a stranger, someone she never wanted to be acquainted with. His only regret had been taking her with him back to Texas. They could have been so happy, like they used to be.What hurt the most was the fact that she had chosen Ranya, discarded him as if he were nothing, and told him to leave. The anger it had stirred was fierce, unforgiving, and seethed within him like poison.He still felt it burning in his chest as he climbed the White House steps, barely noticing the stately façade standing before him.The moment he entered the grand hall, he barely had time to catch hi

The hospital buzzed with urgency as medics wheeled Calista into the emergency room. Tubes snaked across her fragile body, her face pale and lifeless. The doctor barked orders to his team, his voice sharp with authority.“She’s in critical condition! We need to stabilize her heart!”Ranya stood frozen in the hallway, his hands trembling as they clutched the edges of his blood-streaked jacket. His throat burned from inhaling smoke, but the agony in his chest far outweighed the physical pain. He paced, his eyes darting to the operating room’s red light. Every second felt like an eternity.When the doctor emerged, his face grim, Ranya rushed toward him, gripping his coat. “Save her!” His voice cracked, raw with desperation. “Do whatever it takes. I’ll pay any amount, give up anything—just save her!”The doctor placed a firm hand on Ranya’s shoulder. “We’ll do our best, but her heart is weak. She’s on life support now. The next 24 hours are critical.”Ranya staggered back, the weight of th

Ranya gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension as he pushed the car to its limits. The tires screeched on the asphalt, leaving behind faint trails of smoke as the vehicle hurtled through the deserted road.His heart pounded violently against his ribcage, every beat a painful reminder of the urgency that gripped him. The image of Calista’s face - her laughter, her warmth - flashed before him. He gritted his teeth, muttering to himself.“Hold on, Calista. Hold on for me,” he whispered, his voice a mix of desperation and determination.Lynn’s voice crackled in his earpiece, updating him on the location. “Boss, the building is fully engulfed. Be careful.”“Careful?” Ranya barked back. “She’s in there, Lynn! Do you understand what that means?”Lynn’s silence was answer enough. Ranya’s foot pressed harder on the gas pedal as he weaved through traffic. His mind raced with worst-case scenarios. Was she alive? Was she trapped, crying out for him? The thought of her s
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Chairman Hamilton
The whole crowd stirred the moment the old man spoke up, his voice reverberating through the grand hall. Chairman Hamilton, with trembling hands, pointed toward Signoral, his face etched with desperation. “Tell me now!” he rasped, eyes gleaming with unshed tears. “What did you do to my Allen?”Allen had always come to him in dreams, begging him to remember. Yet he would wake up to find his mind a blank slate—unable to recall anything.The guests murmured among themselves; the atmosphere turning electric. Whispers of confusion, disbelief, and anticipation rippled through the sea of faces.Signoral’s face turned pale, but she forced herself to remain composed. Clutching Ranya’s arm, her nails dug into his skin as she hissed under her breath, “Ignore him. Let’s finish this wedding. Now.”Ranya shoved her hands away and turned to her with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes. “Afraid to lose, Signoral?” he asked mockingly, his lips twitching as he pressed a small button on his earpiece. “Ly
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Wedding
The wedding took place in the sprawling outdoors of a luxurious estate in Texas. Guests from across the globe - politicians, business moguls, and celebrities - graced the event. Despite the short notice, the wedding was a spectacle of grandeur. Ornate decorations, pristine floral arrangements, and the soft hum of a live orchestra created an enchanting ambiance. Ranya stood at the altar, his tailored suit exuding elegance, but beneath the surface, a storm of emotions churned. Worry for Calista tightened his chest with every passing moment. He fought to maintain his stoic facade, yet memories of his promises, and the potential consequences of this union—haunted him. Thoughts of Calista filled his mind: her smile, her trust, and the despair she must have felt. His hands, clasped tightly in front of him, trembled imperceptibly, a stark contrast to the composed image he projected. With every glance toward the arriving guests, the whispers of his conscience grew louder, questioning h
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Talk of the devil.
Signoral stood in front of the full-length mirror, her reflection a striking vision of elegance. Her white gown, meticulously crafted with intricate lace and shimmering beads, hugged her figure as though it had been made for her alone. Penelope and a small team of stylists hovered around her, making final adjustments to her veil and train. The air felt stiff, not just from the preparations, but from Signoral's brewing thoughts. She couldn't help but feel something was wrong. But she had made Penelope check over and over for any sign of leakage whatsoever. Charlotte, too, had seemed to be in good health, but she hadn't wanted to take any chances. That was why she had wired a lot of money to her, with stern warnings that she had to disappear for good this time. Her phone buzzed on the vanity table, drawing her attention. She picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and swiped to answer. Charlotte's voice came through, sharp and accusatory. Talk of the devil. "Signoral," Charlott
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Disappointed
The following morning, preparations for the wedding were in full swing. All of America buzzed with shock at the whirlwind announcement of Ranya and Signoral's wedding. Speculations ran wild, and everyone had an opinion about the sudden turn of events. Some believed Ranya was erratic, incapable of making rational decisions. Others celebrated, claiming that Signoral had finally secured her rightful place by his side. Meanwhile, a considerable number expressed disappointment, having grown fond of Calista and rooting for her relationship with Ranya. The media frenzy was unparalleled. Paparazzi and journalists flocked to both the Lewiston Estate and Signoral's residence, hoping for an exclusive statement from either of them. As expected, Signoral basked in the attention, offering vague yet tantalizing comments to reporters. Ranya, however, maintained a strict low profile, refusing to entertain any questions. Five hours before the open-air wedding—the most talked about in America—the

Washington, D.C."Did you do as I instructed?" Mr. Lewiston's voice emerged quietly, his hands working diligently on his laptop as he screened through the files the caller had sent him. "Yes, sir," came the composed reply of a woman from the other end of the call. "I sent you every single detail, including the supplements injected into his system. I had one of my men verify the data—it’s accurate." "And the real heiress?" Mr. Lewiston asked, his tone dropping lower. There was a brief pause before she responded. "She was spotted in China, sir, with your sister," she said, hesitating slightly. "But the authorities were already looking for her. I was about to make provisions to get her out, but they're out already... Mr. Windsor used his jet to take them out. They're on their way to Texas as we speak." "Good work, Rena," he said, leaning back in his chair as he moved his fingers away from the keyboard. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the desk while he processed the inform
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Calista
Calista sat in the dimly lit room, her arms wrapped around the chair as the evening deepened into night. Anthony sat across from her, his expression torn between guilt and frustration as they both stared at nothing in silence. Signoral's guards loomed near the door, their presence a constant reminder of her captivity. Calista glanced at Anthony, her annoyance simmering beneath the surface. "Why?" she asked, her voice low and angry. Anthony raised his head and turned to her. Bruises marred his body from the beating. "Why what?" Calista turned away, her chest tightening. She couldn't shake her growing resentment toward Ranya. He hadn't even tried to reach out or threaten Signoral on her behalf. Did he even care if she was okay? He had told her the night before that he couldn’t breathe if she wasn’t near… but he sounded like someone who had enough oxygen to last him forever, even without her by his side. Her mind drifted to Signoral’s earlier words after she had ended Ranya’s
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Wedding
“The wedding wouldn't be held in Washington as I promised. We will have it here." Ranya ended the call with Signoral, his jaw tightening as the anger he had bottled up turned into weariness. The room fell silent for a moment, all eyes on him. Damian, Valerie, Lena, and Lynn exchanged wary glances, their expressions a mixture of concern and disbelief. "You didn't ask if she was doing okay…" Mr. MacQuoid's voice broke the silence. He couldn't help himself. His daughter was being held captive by someone who used to be her best friend. Ranya glanced at Mr. MacQuoid, knowing the man felt guilty and was beating himself up over Calista's kidnapping. Perhaps if he hadn't called her to talk about leaving Ranya, things wouldn't have escalated the way they had. "No," Ranya replied curtly, shoving the anger and worry aside. "Hearing her voice will only make me do nasty things I'd definitely regret." And that was the truth. He wouldn't be able to bear it if her voice betrayed any uneasin
