Lilah's POV:

I head down the stairs, each step filling the silence of the mansion. I make my way to the kitchen to find Lucy. But as I approach the kitchen, the quiet is shattered by the sound of yelling.

I pause at the doorway, taking in the scene. A tall blonde stands in the center of the room, glaring down at Lucy, who’s holding an empty coffee cup, her face irritated.

The blonde woman is stunning, in a sharp, cruel way—perfectly sculpted cheekbones, model-like figure, long legs that belong on a runway. But the look she’s giving Lucy is nothing but nasty and bitchy.

"How dare you, bitch!" she shrieks, voice like nails on a chalkboard. "How could you ruin my dress? Do you know how much this costs?" She flicks at the coffee stain, a dark blotch spreading across her expensive nude designer dress, her fury radiating like heat.

“Oh, how on earth would an ugly pathetic maid like you know the price?”

“Oh fuck off. I'm not a maid and I'm not ugly. Look at yourself. All the beauty is screa

The scent of expensive perfume hangs in the air, and it’s easy to imagine Mia parading around here, thinking she’s a queen.Lucy lets out a low whistle. “Damn. This is what a bitch’s lair looks like, huh?” She steps further in, running her hand over the silk bedspread. “Feels like a goddamn dream.”I smirk, already making my way to the walk-in closet. “Let’s see what else the queen has stashed away.”Inside, it’s an ocean of designer labels— clothes I’d only seen in fashion magazines, their price tags higher than most people’s property. My fingers graze over the fabric of a blood-red gown, the smooth material cool under my touch. It's untouched, unused and the tags are still on it. Lucy joins me, eyes wide. “Holy s

The cold breeze drifts softly through the cracks of the window, and sunlight gently filters through the curtains. Outside, birds are chirping, their songs sweet and serene. But instead of enjoying the peaceful start to the day, we’re greeted by Mia’s shrill, ear-piercing screeches.“What’s your problem? Get out of this room,” Lucy groans, her voice thick with annoyance as she rubs her temples.“Get out of whose room? This is my fucking bedroom! You bitches get out!" Mia snarls, eyes narrowing like a wild animal about to pounce.Lucy rolls her eyes, and I decide to step in. “Actually, it's ours now. Your boyfriend gave it to us," I ret

Lucy, ever the tech genius, has gathered all the information we need from Maria, and after days of planning, we’re finally putting it all into action. Tonight, we're escaping this hell.We descend into the basement, our footsteps barely making a sound on the cold stone floor. Ahead of us, two hulking guards stand like statues in front of the control room—menacing and immovable. Fighting them is out of the question. We’re no match for their size and strength.

My legs feel like jelly, and my mouth has gone completely dry. I can barely force myself to breathe, let alone speak.“Cat got your tongue, vixen?” he taunts, his voice a dark purr that sends chills down my spine. He leans in, so close I can smell the faint scent of his cologne—woodsy, with a sharp edge of danger. “You really thought you could escape me?”For a second, I almost laugh. The sheer insanity of it all. We had planned every detail down to the last second, hacked into his impossible security, slipped past his guards—and here he is, standing right in front of me like it was all some game.“Oh, you know,” I stammer, my brain desperately searching for something—anything—to say. “Just wanted to stretch our legs a bit.

Every step we took deeper into his mansion felt like the walls were closing in, the air thick with tension and dread. I could feel Lucy trembling beside me, her fear palpable, but I kept my focus straight ahead. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. Ivan’s grip on my arm was firm but not brutal. It was more like he was guiding me, a twisted sort of gentleman. His silence spoke volumes, though. He didn’t need to say anything. The power dynamic was clear—he was in control, and we were at his mercy. “Let’s not make this harder than it needs to be,” Ivan finally said, his voice as smooth as silk, though laced with a cold, underlying threat. “You’ve already made one mistake tonight. Don’t make another.” I grit my teeth, my mind racing for any possible way out of this, but

The hard, ruthless man I had first met had softened, his rough edges worn down by the years. He was still commanding, still powerful, but there was a vulnerability to him now, a need for me that was oddly comforting. I was learning to see beyond the tough exterior, to the man underneath—the one who had always been there, even when I didn’t know it.Tonight, as we sat in the garden, a light breeze ruffling the leaves around us, Ivan’s arm wrapped around my shoulders, I felt a sense of peace I hadn’t known in
