Chapter Thirty Five
The evening of the charity event arrived with an air of anticipation and tension. The London night was crisp, a slight chill in the air as the city’s elite gathered at one of the most luxurious venues in the city. The grand ballroom was decked out in opulence—crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and elegant decorations adorning every corner. Guests in their finest attire mingled, the sound of polite laughter and clinking glasses filling the space.
Furina stood in front of the mirror in her room, taking one last look at herself before the car arrived. The midnight blue gown that Tiffany had chosen for her fit perfectly, accentuating her figure and giving her an air of quiet confidence. The silver heels from Tommaso’s family collection added a touch of sophistication, while the earrings sparkled subtly with every movement. She took a deep breath, steadying her nerves. Tonight, she needed to be poised and composed. She couldn’t afford to let anything slip.AsRelated chapters

A small frown formed on Furina Dunne’s forehead as sunlight cascaded across her face through the windows. She stirred and blinked her eyes open for a split second before shutting them again. Her head felt incredibly heavy, and her whole body ached. She felt an unusual throbbing between her thighs. Though her brain was still fuzzy, she soon registered her surroundings—it was clearly not her bedroom but something resembling a hotel room. Panic began to build inside her. Despite her body's reluctance, she managed to prop herself up on her elbows and push herself into a sitting position. A small groan from her right immediately stopped her from swinging her legs over the side of the bed. If it had been a female groan, she might have assumed the other occupant was one of her friends. But the deep, male groan terrified her. Her mind, still foggy from the alcohol she had consumed the previous night, struggled to piece together what had happened. Most importantly, she needed to remember how

Instead of heading back right away, she showed her hotel keycard and asked the receptionist to borrow a phone. Thankfully Furina recalled all of her friends’ phone numbers but she knew only Tiffany would answer her phone in a flash so that was whom she was calling. “Hello?” “Tiff?” “Oh my gosh? Furina?” There was a split moment of shock before she heard Tiffany saying, “Sshhh, guys, stop, stop, Furina is calling me.” Clearly, she was informing the other three to shut up. “I’m putting you on speaker phone. Where on Earth are you? Are you alright? We’ve been frantically worried.” “I’m alright.” She bit her bottom lip, knowing that she wasn’t completely being honest. What had happened last night, her vague memories, and furthermore, that French man’s insulting words this morning were way too much for a girl. “I think I’ve lost my purse along with my phone.” “Yeah, I know. We found it at the club. The bartender said you must’ve left it when you went to the loo but you never came back

Four years later, The second Furina Dunne opened the front door, she knew something was not right. Her heart told her so before her eyes could see the proof wide open. The whole place was ransacked. Everything was thrown onto the wooden floor. Burglary? No. There was no way it was done by a burglar. Everyone in town knew Furina and her dad Fionn Dunne had no money, they led a very modest life. Without caring much about the rest of the place, she went to find her dad. “Dad? Daddy?” At last, she found him in the kitchen picking up shards of glass on the floor. “Oh my God, Dad you’re bleeding.” She saw the bloody patch on the side of his head and quickly went to find the first aid box. She kneeled beside her father and attended to his wound. His father still didn’t say a word. He didn’t even raise his eyes from the ground. His whole face was solemn but without seeing his eyes she couldn’t know what he was feeling. His finger accidentally touched the sharp surface of the glass and

Furina didn’t even have a chance to take a breather when he got into the car, seated next to her, and slammed the door shut. She heard him speak to the driver in French and the car began to move out of the lobby. “Wait. Wait. Wait. Where are we going?” Her initial plan was simply hide from plain sight for a moment until her mother went back in. She didn’t expect him to shut the door or even for the car to start moving. “Around,” said the man without a smile. “Around?” She reiterated in her confusion. He spared one look at her before focusing back to his phone. “Around and about.” “Wait. I need to get off.” Furina closed her eyes and took a deep, calming breath. “I’m very sorry to barge into your car like this. I was only trying to escape someone I know. If you could please stop the car, I will gladly get out and be out of your hair.” The man put his phone away and shifted in his seat so he could face her. “Are you well?” “No. I mean, yes.” She shook her head as if it’d help clea

Furina leaned against the wall of the dimly lit tube station, trying to steady her nerves. The metallic hum of the arriving train grew louder, mingling with the rhythmic thrum of her anxious heartbeat. She glanced at her phone again, noting the text message from Diluc Ragnvindr Neuvillette: “Meet me at 10:00 AM at the office. I have something to discuss.”The previous night had been a whirlwind of emotions. After settling her father’s debt with the help of the mysterious and handsome Diluc, she felt a mix of relief and trepidation. The funds had arrived just in time, but the identity of the benefactor, and the strange circumstances surrounding his help, left her uneasy. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this was just the beginning of something complicated.As she rode the tube, she replayed their last conversation in her mind. Diluc had been clear—he wanted to meet her to discuss the terms of her repayment. The gravity of his tone left her with a knot in her stomach. What could be so

The rhythm of the club had bound them, two strangers entranced by each other’s presence. The allure of the night in Paris, with its intoxicating blend of lights and shadows, was irresistible. When the final beat of the music faded, they found themselves standing on the cobblestone streets, the electricity between them undeniable.“Shall we continue this?” His voice was a low, seductive murmur, eyes gleaming with anticipation. She nodded, her pulse quickening. He hailed a cab, and the drive to the hotel was a silent exchange of glances, each one more charged than the last.The hotel was a sanctuary of luxury, exuding an opulence that mirrored the desire simmering between them. With a smooth check-in process, they were swiftly in the elevator, the small space amplifying their mutual tension. As soon as the doors closed, he pressed her against the wall, capturing her lips in a fierce kiss. She responded eagerly, her fingers threading through his hair as their mouths moved in a heated danc

The grand chandelier in the opulent living room cast its golden light over the room, making the polished marble floor glisten. Diluc Neuvillette stood in the center, his sharp gaze fixed on Celeste Dunne. Celeste, elegant in a sapphire cocktail dress, was perched on the edge of the ornate sofa, her face a mask of carefully controlled composure. Celeste was always one for going overboard and it showed from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. Diluc’s voice cut through the silence, cold and unyielding. “You really thought you could just waltz into my father’s life and take everything he had to offer without consequence?”Celeste’s eyes narrowed. “Diluc, whatever grievances you have with me, this is neither the time nor the place to air them. I suggest you keep your anger in check.”He took a step closer, his tone icy. “You’ve got no idea how far I’m willing to go. My father was a good man, and you, you’re nothing but a gold digger who preyed on him for his money. You used him, an

As Furina arrived at Tiffany’s charming but modest townhouse, she was greeted with a warm hug. Tiffany led her inside, offering comfort and a listening ear. They sat in the cozy living room, and Furina recounted the events of the night. Tiffany listened attentively, her expression a mix of sympathy and concern.“I’m so sorry you’re going through this,” Tiffany said, her voice filled with genuine empathy. “We’ll figure something out.”“I hope so,” Furina replied, her voice trembling. “I just don’t understand why all of this is happening. I mean I know it was dumb of me to marry him but I had no other choice. I still don’t.”“How much did you really owe him, F*e?” Tiffany shrugged. “Maybe, I don’t know, maybe I can help you pay him back. That way you no longer have to be married to him.” The thought of a way out of her current predicament did tempt her. “One point five million.” Tiffany’s silver eyes widened in genuine surprise. “Whoaa, okay. I personally don’t have that much money and
