NORA'S POV

The day of the gala started on a sour note. I had spent the previous night with Gen because she had insisted she was going to dress me up and Sam would come pick me up from her house then we would head to the gala together.

I sat in her loft, clutching a steaming cup of tea, my nerves fraying with each passing second. Across from me, Genevieve scrolled through her phone, her sharp eyes darting over the screen. She hadn’t said much since I’d arrived, and her silence only made me more anxious.

“Gen, what’s going on?” I asked, my voice tight. It was starting to seem like everyone knew something I didn't.

She hesitated, her fingers pausing mid-scroll before she looked up at me. “You don’t check Pictory anymore, do you?”

I stiffened, shaking my head. “No. I deleted it weeks ago. Why?”

Gen sighed, her lips pressing into a thin line. “Nora… it’s all over the news. Photos of you at the Marquee. Speculations about your pregnancy. And, of course, the bloggers are having a field da

    SAM'S POV The ballroom lights glimmered off crystal chandeliers, and the hum of conversation filled the space. My focus, however, was fixed on the masked stranger standing beside Nora. His mask covered half his face, adding a theatrical flair, but something about him felt off. The way he stood, the tilt of his head as he spoke—it was familiar in a way that made my stomach churn. It was the stranger who had been with Milo Romano outside! I moved quickly, weaving through the crowd until I was standing beside them. Nora noticed me first, her eyes widening slightly.“Sam,” she said, her tone uncertain. I could tell fr

    NORA'S POV The soft hum of murmurs in the ballroom fell silent as Sam stepped onto the small stage. A crystal glass in his hand caught the light, sending shards of brilliance across the room. His presence commanded attention effortlessly, and I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of pride and apprehension.“To family,” he began, his voice calm but strong. “And to unity.”Scattered applause followed, but it was the pause after that made my heart race. Sam turned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before landing squarely on me.

    SAM'S POV The masked man was still on my mind. His cryptic demeanor and familiarity had set my nerves on edge. The way he’d spoken to Nora, how he moved through the crowd with calculated ease, he wasn’t just a guest. He didn’t belong here. I was sure if I checked the guest list, I wouldn't find his name. But I didn't even know his name. That vermin, Milo, had brought him here.I stood near the bar, nursing a whiskey I barely tasted as my eyes scanned the ballroom. The opulence of the evening was a stark contrast to the growing sense of unease gnawing at me. My family’s galas had always been about power plays, alliances, and keeping enemies close, but tonight felt different. The stakes were higher, the shadows deeper

Evelyn sat in a chair at the center of the room, calm and collected, her legs crossed as if she were at a charity luncheon rather than being detained. Her nonchalance irritated me more than her actual crime.I slammed my hands on the table. “What the hell were you doing near my car?”Evelyn barely flinched. Instead, she regarded me with mild amusement. “Good evening to you too, Sam.”&l

My world had reduced to one brutal truth: Nora was gone.Gone.The word hammered at my skull as I stood frozen in the middle of the chaos. My hands felt like lead at my sides, clenched tightly to stop them from shaking. She’d been right there—just steps behind us—and now she was gone. I’d failed her.

Every second without her felt like an eternity, the fear of what might be happening to her gnawing at me like a wild animal. The thought of her, scared and alone, was unbearable.

    NORA'S POVThe mansion felt unusually cold, even though it had stopped raining a while ago. As I stepped into the sitting room with Sam, tension crackled in the air like static. The entire Bennett clan—or what was left of it—had been summoned. Sam had insisted on an emergency meeting, and judging by the faces around the room, everyone knew the stakes were high.Aunt Angelina, dignified as ever, sat at the head of the room. Her sharp eyes scanned the gathering, already assessing the chaos before a word was spoken. Her daughter, a quiet woman in her early thirties, sat beside her, fiddling nervously with the edge of her sleeve.Across the room, Aunt Marion perched on the armrest of a chair, Jonathan standing protectively behind her. His smug expression made my stomach churn. Uncle Thomas sat alone, his shoulders slumped but his eyes defiant. Richard was flanked by his parents, his mother looking visibly weary, while Michael’s father sat stiffly, flanked by his wife and two daughters, bo

His betrayal had been a knife in my side, and I was about to twist it.Uncle Thomas had lived in the mansion since my father’s passing. His home on the estate was quieter, smaller, and he spent most of his time here in the main house.

You betrayed your family.”

Investors were panicking, employees were calling in fear of layoffs, and partners were threatening to terminate contracts.I watched as Sam stormed into the study, his face twisted in frustration. His father’s once-pristine sanctuary became a chaotic battlefield of papers, overturned furniture, and broken glass as he moved around the room, frustrated and angry.“Damn him!” Sam roared, sweeping a stack of documents off the desk. They scattered like fallen leaves, a physical manifestation of his unraveling composure.I followed him, stepping into the room cautiously, my heart aching at the sight of him like this. “Sam,” I said gently, moving closer. “Please, let’s talk…”He spun around, his eyes wild. “This is your fault!” he yelled, his voice cracking. “If you hadn’t gone to Milo Romano, if you hadn’t fallen for that stupid More

    SAM'S POV The morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of the Bennett mansion’s study, casting a warm glow over the room. But the warmth did little to alleviate the chill that seemed to settle in my chest. Papers were scattered across my desk—financial reports, lawsuit documents, and notes on the proposed merger. It was all too much, a constant reminder of how fragile everything had become.My mother entered, her heels clicking softly against the hardwood floor. She carried herself with her usual grace, but her expression was uncharacteristically tender. “You’re up early,” she said, setting a cup of tea on the desk in front of me.“Couldn’t sleep,” I muttered, leaning back in my chair. “Too much to think about.”She nodded, taking a seat across from me. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence was heavy, laden with things unsaid. Finally, Jacqueline broke it. “Sam, I need to apologize.”I looked up, startled. Jacqueline Bennett was many things, but apologetic wasn’t o

For a moment, I allowed myself the luxury of watching her sleep, her tiny hands curled into fists, her cheeks flushed with warmth. I closed the door softly and headed toward the library in search of Sam. The weight of everything pressed heavy on my shoulders. As I turned the corner, I nearly collided with Michael and Richard, both striding purposefully down the hallway.“Nora,” Michael said, his voice low. “You’ll want to come
