The rhythmic echo of footsteps filled the dimly lit hallway, but Caspian remained still. His fingers curled into fists at his sides as he stared out over the city skyline. The neon lights below flickered like dying embers, and for the first time in years, he felt the ground shift beneath him. His world his empire was unraveling. And he would burn it all to the ground before letting someone else seize control.

A hesitant voice broke the silence.

"Sir..."

Caspian didn’t turn. His mind was elsewhere, weaving a hundred different ways to eliminate the woman who had dared to challenge him.

"Sir," the voice came again, more urgent this time.

He exhaled sharply and shifted his gaze from the city to the man standing near the door. His assistant normally composed looked pale, his fingers twitching at his sides like he wasn’t sure if he should step forward or run.

That look. Caspian knew it well. Fear. But there was something else beneath it hesitation. Whatever news his assistant had come to de

    “Get the hell out of my son’s house!” Mrs. Thalassa’s voice cut through the dimly lit room, sharp as a blade, echoing off the walls. The venom in her words struck Elowen like a physical blow, freezing her in place. Three years of marriage, three years of love now shattered with a single command.Elowen’s heart hammered in her chest as she stood, rooted to the spot. This was her home too, wasn’t it? But in Mrs. Thalassa’s eyes, she was an intruder. Her gaze swept the room, once filled with love and laughter. Now, it felt foreign, hostile. The air buzzed with betrayal.Her fists clenched at her sides, nails digging into her palms. She had devoted herself to Caspian since childhood, her love wrapping around him like vines. But those vines had turned to shackles, tightening with each passing day, choking the life out of her. His touch once warm and tender now felt cold, like a ghost of what they once shared."Why should I leave my husband's house?" Elowen’s voice trembled, weak against th

    Elowen shot awake, her body heavy with a deep, throbbing ache. The damp sheets clung to her, and the dim, claustrophobic room felt as if it was swallowing her whole. Her breathing was labored, shallow gasps escaping her as panic crawled up her spine. Something was horribly wrong.She tried to sit up, but the sharp pain in her lower abdomen forced her back down. Wincing, she peeled away the covers to reveal an unfamiliar bed. Where am I? Her heart hammered in her chest as she scanned the room, eyes darting from the heavy velvet curtains to the modern, sleek furniture. None of this was hers. This wasn’t her life.The fragments of last night flickered in her mind like pieces of a shattered mirror: music, laughter, and the touch of a stranger. Her palms pressed against her temples, but it did little to suppress the rising nausea.On the nightstand, a delicate silver necklace gleamed beside a crumpled piece of paper. Dread filled her as she reached for it, her fingers trembling.Find me. I

    Elowen stepped off the train, her heart racing as she scanned the bustling city of Alphacrest. The cacophony of voices and the rhythmic clattering of luggage on the platform felt like a distant storm, but one familiar face stood out amidst the chaos. Seraphina beamed at her from the crowd, a handmade sign with Elowen's name scrawled in bright red letters held high.“Elowen!” Seraphina called, her voice cutting through the noise like a beacon. Before Elowen could respond, Seraphina swept her into a tight embrace. The familiar scent of vanilla and jasmine enveloped her, grounding her in memories of laughter and simpler times.“Come on, let’s get you home,” Seraphina said, grabbing Elowen's suitcase with a determined tug.As they drove through the city, the lights blurred past like fleeting memories, but Elowen felt the weight of unspoken tension thickening the air between them. She stared out the window, lost in the shadows of her past.Once inside Seraphina’s apartment, silence stretch

    Four years later…“Mummy, Mummy!” Eulalia’s tiny voice echoed through the hallway as she burst into her mother’s office, tears streaming down her cheeks.Elowen looked up from her desk, her heart melting at the sight of her daughter’s distress. She rushed to scoop Eulalia into her arms. “What’s wrong, my little angel? Why are you crying?”Eulalia sniffled, clinging tightly to her mother. “Leander took my toy and won’t give it back!”At that moment, Leander appeared in the doorway, arms crossed and brow furrowed. “Mum, she’s going to break it! I told her she can’t just throw it around. You bought it for her, but she’s being childish!” he muttered, glaring at his sister.Elowen gently set Eulalia down and crouched to Leander’s level, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Leander, she’s your little sister. You have to teach her with love, not force. Can you do that for me?”Leander’s stern expression faltered, replaced by guilt. He glanced at Eulalia, whose teary eyes watched him expectantly.

    Elowen turned slowly, her heart pounding as her eyes met Caspian’s across the crowded lot. His piercing gaze narrowed in suspicion. She lowered her cap, tugging it further down her face, and adjusted her mask to obscure her identity. Her every instinct screamed at her to remain calm, even as her pulse quickened.“Who are you looking for?” Caspian’s tone was measured, but the steel edge in his voice betrayed his unease.Elowen hesitated for a beat, carefully schooling her expression. “I’m just looking for a friend,” she replied evenly, gesturing vaguely toward the far side of the lot. “I must have gotten the address wrong.”Caspian’s sharp gaze lingered, scanning her face for cracks in her story. “Strange place to meet a friend,” he said, his voice low. “I could help you find them.”“No need,” she said, her voice clipped as she took a deliberate step back. “I’ve got it under control.” Turning on her heel, she walked away, her pace steady despite the fire raging within her.Sliding into

    Elowen’s heels clicked against the polished marble floor as she approached the tall figure by the door. His back was turned, but the sharp cut of his suit and the commanding way he stood told her he was accustomed to power. She extended her hand when he turned to face her. "Mr. Lysander, nice to meet you," she said, her tone professional but cool, her hand steady despite the air of intimidation around him. He glanced at her hand for a fraction of a second before taking it. His grip was firm, almost testing. "Nice to meet you too," he said smoothly. Then, almost as an afterthought, he added, "I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. Shall we go inside?" Elowen withdrew her hand and raised her chin. "Thank you, but I don’t think I’ll be working with you." Lysander stilled. No one had ever declined to work with him, let alone with such nonchalance. "I beg your pardon?" "It’s your wedding," she said, her voice cutting like glass. "You can give the job to someone else. I don’t tolerate

    Elowen slammed the car door shut and trudged into the house, her heels clicking sharply against the tiled floor. Her phone buzzed just as she sank onto the plush sofa.“How did the meeting go?” Seraphina’s voice came through the line, light but curious.Elowen groaned, rubbing her temples. “Horribly. Imagine planning a wedding for two people who can’t decide what they want. And the fiancée” her voice sharpened “she thinks she can boss me around. If it weren’t for my revenge, I’d never have set foot in this cursed city again.”Seraphina sighed on the other end. “Elowen, this is Lysander Caius we’re talking about. You know how powerful he is.”Elowen’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “I don’t care about his power. All I care about is settling the score.”“Fine. But speaking of settling, there’s a party tonight a big one. Hosted by Aurelia, the top fashion designer in Apex Grove. She sent an invitation to the office this morning.”Elowen arched a brow, intrigued. “Why would she invite m

    The door slammed shut with a resounding thud that echoed through the sleek, silent office. Caspian stood there for a moment, chest heaving as he stared at the glass panels that reflected the storm brewing in his eyes. His hand shot up, raking through his dark hair, the strands sticking up in chaotic defiance.“Elowen,” he hissed, the name rolling off his tongue like a curse. His voice was venomous, laced with anger so sharp it could cut glass. His fists curled tightly at his sides, his knuckles turning white. “You’ll pay for this. Mark my words you’ll pay.”He crossed the room in a few long strides, yanking the phone off its cradle with such force that the cord rattled. His thumb jabbed at the buttons, and the phone barely had time to ring before a voice answered.“Get the boardroom ready,” he barked, his tone brooking no argument. “Twenty minutes. I’ll address the directors myself.”“Understood, sir,” came the swift reply.He slammed the phone back down, the metallic clink reverberat

    Elowen leaned back in her sleek leather chair, the dim glow of the computer screen casting sharp shadows across her face. The rhythmic clatter of keyboard strokes filled the room as comments flooded the live broadcast feed. Her sharp nails tapped against the desk in a slow, deliberate rhythm, her lips curling into a predatory smile.The chaos she’d unleashed was unfolding beautifully. Words of outrage, shock, and support poured in—each comment another nail in Caspian’s coffin. The scandal was festering in real time, exactly as she had planned.Her phone buzzed against the glass tabletop, the faint vibration breaking the silence. She glanced at it casually, her amusement undisturbed. The message preview blinked on the screen:“Don’t mess with me, Elowen. You’ll regret it. Time to go back to your city.”A dry laugh bubbled in her throat, low and mocking. She picked up the phone and read the message again, her amusement deepening. “Regret?” she murmured, setting the phone back down with

    The air was crisp and quiet, a blanket of calm resting over the village. The morning sun painted everything in soft gold, yet the two competing teams emerged with vastly different energy. Lucy’s team radiated confidence, their consistent wins reflected in their growing stash of food supplies. The aroma of spices and vegetables already filled their corner as they prepared for the day’s challenge.Lucy stretched, the corners of her lips tugging into a smile as she turned to her team. “So, what’s on the menu this morning?” she asked, her voice carrying over the murmur of the nearby crew adjusting their cameras.Orion scratched his head, his other hand rubbing his stomach. “I’m thinking boiled eggs and rice. Something simple but filling,” he said with a grin.Sylvaine and Vivian exchanged glances before nodding enthusiastically.“Rice and eggs it is,” Lucy declared, clapping her hands together. “I’ll handle the cooking. You all take care of the prep work.”“I’ll get firewood,” Orion volun

    Maddy leaned back in his chair, the dim glow of the California city lights streaming through the restaurant’s glass window. The man across from him, Soren, fidgeted with his phone, stealing nervous glances at Maddy’s hulking frame. Maddy’s phone buzzed on the table, and he picked it up, answering with a deep, deliberate tone.“Boss, your assistant is here with me,” he said, his voice steady.On the other end of the line, Lysander’s voice was calm, almost cold. “Good. Has he been briefed?”“Yes. We’re parked across the street from her apartment. My team is ready.”“Then listen carefully,” Lysander said, his tone hardening. “Bring her back to Apex Grove tonight. Do it quietly. Not a single hair on her head should be harmed she’s critical to my plans.”Maddy nodded, though Lysander couldn’t see him. “Understood. I’ll wrap this up quickly.”“See that you do,” Lysander replied, the line going dead.Maddy slipped his phone into his pocket and turned to Soren, whose knuckles were white as he

    The group split into two as the sun climbed higher in the sky. Lucy’s team headed toward the village chief’s residence, where eager children waited for their lessons, while Jeremy’s team set out for the best farmer’s house in the village. Cameramen followed both teams, broadcasting every move live to an online audience hungry for drama and entertainment.Lucy adjusted her cap as she stepped through the dusty village path, the camera zooming in on her determined expression. Around her, the chatter of her team mingled with the soft rustle of leaves in the morning breeze. When they reached the large wooden gate of the village chief's home, he was already waiting for them, his face breaking into a smile."I was thrilled when I saw you coming," he said, stepping forward to greet Lucy. His hands were calloused from years of hard work, but his grip was firm. "And thank you again for the tractor. Ever since you repaired it, work has been so much easier."Lucy forced a smile, brushing stray st

    Lysander pushed open the heavy wooden door to his mansion, the soft hum of his car engine fading as the automatic garage door sealed behind him. The quiet opulence of his home greeted him: marble floors gleamed under ambient lighting, and the faint aroma of cedarwood lingered in the air.He shrugged off his blazer, tossing it onto the back of a chair before making his way upstairs. His room was spacious yet cold, the kind of space that screamed wealth but lacked warmth. He paced to the floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding them open just enough to let the cool night breeze touch his face.A smug grin spread across his lips as he pulled out his phone. The call connected after two rings.“Soren,” he said, his voice carrying an undercurrent of authority.“Sir?”“I need you to find someone,” Lysander began, his words deliberate. “Emmanuelle.”There was a pause on the other end of the line. “Emmanuelle? Sir, isn’t she… dead? The news said Lucy killed her. It was all over the media.”Lysander c

    The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the makeshift camp. The live broadcast had ended for the day, the cameras folded away with practiced efficiency, and the crew dispersed. The participants trudged to the house rented for them, their excitement fading into shock the moment they crossed the threshold.The place was barebones. The air was stale, the light dim from a single weak bulb. There was no running water, no electricity beyond the faint hum of a generator that seemed ready to die at any moment. The beds single, creaky frames with thin, worn-out mattresses were lined up like props in a scene meant to invoke discomfort.Sylvaine, her hair perfectly styled despite the day’s activities, stood in the doorway of her room, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. “This… this is it?” she muttered, her voice trembling with disbelief. She turned to Mr. Douglas, her stiletto heels clicking against the uneven floorboards. “Are we really staying here?”Mr. Douglas
