A shrill ring cut through the early morning silence, jarring Elowen from sleep. She groaned, stretching her arms lazily as her fingers fumbled across the bed in search of her phone. The king-sized mattress felt too large, too empty, a stark contrast to the warmth of her tangled sheets.

She squinted at the screen Lysander.

Pressing the phone to her ear, she mumbled, “Hey…” Her voice was thick with sleep.

“Still in bed?” Lysander’s deep chuckle came through the receiver. “Sorry for waking you.”

Elowen pushed herself up, rubbing her eyes. The soft glow of dawn filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows over the sleek, modern furniture of her penthouse. “It’s fine,” she murmured. “I needed to wake up anyway.”

“Have you checked online?” Lysander’s tone shifted, suddenly sharp. “The Emmanuelle file you posted it?”

Elowen blinked, her sluggish mind snapping to attention. “Oh,” she said, kicking off the covers and swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. The cold m

    Caspian’s fingers tightened around his phone, the plastic and metal casing creaking under the pressure. His breath came in ragged bursts, his pulse hammering like a war drum against his ribs. The screen still glowed with the damning headlines, the betrayal bleeding across every news site.EXPOSED: EMMANUELLE CONFESSES TO G GROUP FRAUDCaspian Reed Under Fire: Board Members Call for Urgent VoteHis grip slackened, and the phone slipped from his fingers, crashing against the marble floor. The impact splintered the screen, but Caspian didn’t care. His lips curled into a slow, dangerous smile.“Elowen,” he murmured, the name a poison on his tongue.She thought she could take him down?His jaw clenched as his fury rose like a storm. She has no idea what’s coming.Caspian stalked across the room, his movements sharp and deliberate. He yanked open his closet, grabbing the first suit that met his fingers. The charcoal fabric slipped over his shoulders like armor, the crisp scent of expensive

    The boardroom had never been this silent.Caspian stood at the head of the table, his fingers pressing into the polished wood, his breathing sharp and ragged. He should have seen this coming. He should have known the moment the whispers started, the moment the shareholders’ glares turned colder than ice.His heart pounded against his ribs, but he refused to show weakness.Instead, he smirked. A slow, dangerous curve of his lips.“You’ll regret this,” he murmured, his voice like the edge of a knife. “Before nightfall, you’ll come begging me. Voting me out was the worst mistake of your lives this company belongs to me.”Andrew, the man he once trusted, leaned back in his chair, arms folded. Calm. Unbothered. His stare held no fear.“You’re wrong,” Andrew said. He tilted his head slightly, studying Caspian like a predator watching prey. “It belongs to Elowen. It always has.”The air thickened.A ringing noise filled Caspian’s ears. He barely heard the whispers that spread through the roo

    Tonight, Caspian would lose more than just his company.Tonight, he would taste fear for the first time in his life.And she would be the one to serve it to him.Elowen stood in front of her vast wardrobe, her fingers grazing over the delicate fabrics as she selected her armor for the night. A black diamond gown sleek, elegant, and commanding. The kind of dress that whispered power and danger in the same breath. She slid it on, the fabric cool against her skin, and fastened the delicate straps at her shoulders. The slit rode high up her thigh, the perfect balance between allure and authority.She stepped into a pair of towering heels, the sharp click against the marble floor a promise that she was ready.As she reached for her earrings, her phone vibrated on the vanity table. She picked it up, glancing at the caller ID. Seraphina. Right on time.Elowen tapped the screen, holding the phone between her ear and shoulder as she adjusted the diamond studs.“It’s tonight, girl. The night yo

    The chandelier’s golden glow bathed the grand ballroom in a soft, almost deceitful warmth. Laughter and chatter filled the air, the clinking of champagne glasses adding a celebratory rhythm to the evening. At the far end of the room, Caspian stood tall, his eyes scanning the crowd like a king surveying his kingdom. He looked untouchable, confident satisfied.Elowen watched him from a shadowed corner, the stem of her wine glass cool between her fingers. He had no idea.Maria’s heels clicked sharply against the polished floor as she approached the center stage, her emerald gown catching the light. With practiced grace, she took the microphone, her voice smooth and poised.“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m honored to have you all here tonight,” Maria began, flashing a polite smile. “This is a celebration of growth, success, and most importantly, transition. A new era for Olive Industries.”A murmur swept through the room. Guests exchanged curious glances, some looking toward Maria’s father, exp

    Caspian took an unsteady step back, his grip tightening around the forged contract in his hand. The blood drained from his face as his gaze flickered between Maria, Emmanuelle, and the unknown woman standing beside her. A muscle in his jaw twitched. His mind scrambled for a way out, for some last-minute trick to regain control.But there wasn’t one.Not this time.Elowen leaned slightly toward Lysander, her voice barely more than a breath against the charged air.“Now… let’s watch him burn.”The sound of heels clicking against the marble floor snapped Caspian’s attention back to reality.“Hello, Caspian,” Emmanuelle said, her voice dripping with a sweetness that sent a shiver of dread down his spine.Caspian’s mouth opened, but no words came. He should have known. He should have seen this coming. First, Maria had claimed the contract was fake, and now she had pulled Emmanuelle out of nowhere. His nostrils flared as he turned to Maria, his composure slipping.“Why are you doing this to

    A cold wind rushed through Elowen’s veins, but it had nothing to do with the night air. Her hands shook as she stared at the message glowing on her phone screen.If you want her back, come find me.Her heart clenched. Her grip tightened around the phone. No name. No demands. Just a taunt.“Elowen?” Lysander’s voice was steady, but his sharp gaze was already scanning her face, reading the fear settling into her bones.For the first time in years, she felt weak.Without a word, she spun on her heel and yanked open the car door. She needed to go. Now.But before she could slide into the driver’s seat, Lysander’s hand shot out, gripping her wrist.“You can’t drive like this.” His voice was low but firm. “You’re shaking. You’ll crash before we even get there.”“I don’t have time for this,” she snapped, trying to jerk away.Lysander didn’t budge. “And I’m not letting you risk your life when our daughter needs you.”Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her mind racing. But then damn it she exhal

    The air inside the mansion was thick with tension. The maids stood huddled together, their gazes darting between one another, their breaths coming in shallow gasps. The chandeliers above cast a warm golden glow, but there was no comfort in the light only the looming presence of Lysander.He stood at the center of the room, his grip firm around Leander’s hand. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes, cold and sharp, swept over the frightened faces before him."Find the one," he murmured, voice low but cutting through the silence like a blade.Leander swallowed hard, his pulse hammering in his throat as he let him gaze drift over the gathered women. Some clutched at their aprons, others stared at the floor, their shoulders shaking. But then—he saw her.The maid stood near the back, her body rigid, her lips pressed into a tight line. But it was her eyes that gave her away. Wide. Glassy. Terrified.Leander took a step forward. Then another. The woman didn’t move, but her breath hitche

    Lysander turned away from the window, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. The night air bit at his skin, but it did nothing to cool the fire raging inside him. He rolled his shoulders, forcing himself to breathe, forcing himself to think.Calista was dangerous—he knew that better than anyone. And worse, he knew exactly why she had come back.She wanted him.But she had made a fatal mistake.Nobody touched his children and walked away unscathed.Not even her.Without hesitation, he grabbed his car keys and strode toward the door, his footsteps sharp against the marble floor. His mind was already racing ahead—calculating, planning. He didn’t need a strategy to deal with Calista. He just needed to get his daughter back.A voice cut through his thoughts."Lysander, wait!"He turned just as Elowen came running down the grand staircase, her robe billowing behind her. Her bare feet barely made a sound, but the determination in her eyes hit him like a slap."I’m coming with you," she said,

    Lysander gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white as he sped down the narrow, unpaved road. The engine’s low growl barely masked the storm brewing inside him. The headlights cut through the thick darkness, illuminating the overgrown bushes that lined the path to his family’s old hideout.His hideout.Now overrun by the very woman who once swore she loved him.He should have killed Calista when he had the chance.The thought burned through his mind as he cut the engine a few feet away from the compound. Silence. The night was still, but Lysander knew better. She’d have men posted everywhere.He slid out of the car, moving like a shadow. The bulletproof vest felt snug against his chest as he unholstered his silenced pistol. His eyes scanned the area two guards at the entrance, standing stiff, their breath visible in the cold night air.Lysander exhaled slowly.Two bullets. Two bodies.They crumpled without a sound.He stepped over them, slipping inside through the creaky d

    The room was silent.Thick. Suffocating.But Elowen didn't flinch. Instead, she did something that made Calista pause.She smiled.Cold. Unyielding.And when she spoke, her voice was steel.“Then I hope you’re ready.”A flicker of hesitation flashed in Calista’s eyes.“Because I don’t plan on dying today.”Calista's laughter rang through the dimly lit room, sharp and full of venom. Her heels clicked against the concrete floor as she stepped out of the shadows, finally revealing herself.Elowen’s head throbbed, warm blood trickling down her face. The ropes bit into her wrists, cutting off circulation, but she refused to let the pain show.Calista crouched before her, tilting her head like a predator studying its prey.“You always were full of fight.” Her fingers clamped onto Elowen’s jaw, nails digging into her skin. She squeezed tight, unforgiving. “But let me make one thing clear.”She leaned in, her breath hot against Elowen’s ear.“You don’t get to win.”Elowen gritted her teeth, b

    “I miss it already,” Seraphina sighed, her fingers trailing along the cold glass of the car window. The city lights blurred past, casting golden reflections over the darkened streets.“Me too,” Elowen murmured, her hands tightening on the wheel.The road stretched ahead, slick with rain, the faint hum of tires the only sound between them. The night felt calm, almost too calm—Then came the headlights.Blinding. Fast. Barreling straight toward them.A truck.No time. No space.BANG.The impact slammed into them with bone-shattering force. The seatbelt bit into Elowen’s chest as the car was sent skidding, tires screeching against asphalt. Metal groaned, twisting under the weight of the collision.Glass exploded.The world spun flipping, rolling, tumbling.CRASH.Then silence.Thick. Suffocating.A metallic scent filled Elowen’s nose blood. Gasoline. Smoke curled in the air.Somewhere, a phone buzzed.Seraphina.“Are you there? Elowen, answer me!” Seraphina’s voice was sharp, frantic.No

    Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, warming Elowen’s skin as she shifted beneath the covers. A lazy yawn escaped her lips, her body protesting against the idea of leaving the comfort of sleep. Just five more minutes…A shadow fell over her.Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light only to find Lysander perched at the edge of her bed, watching her.She jerked upright. “Lysander? What the hell—”“Good morning.” His voice was smooth, teasing, like he had been waiting for her reaction.Her gaze flickered around, confirming she was indeed in her own bedroom. The realization did nothing to soothe her racing heart. She narrowed her eyes at him. “Don’t tell me you spent the night in my room?”Lysander leaned in slightly, his presence filling the space between them. “Is that how you greet someone in the morning?” His fingers ghosted through her tousled hair, making her stomach flip.Elowen swallowed. “Good morning.” The words came out breathy, uncertain.Lysander sat back, cro

    Elowen’s pulse hammered in her ears as Mrs. Martha’s words echoed in the dimly lit room."I’m going to kill her right in front of you."The woman said it so casually, like she was discussing dinner plans.Elowen’s fingers curled into fists.Mrs. Martha leaned closer, smirking. "Then, I’ll erase Zephyr’s memory. And we’ll all pretend this never happened."A laugh slipped past Elowen’s lips low, cold, unnatural.Mrs. Martha’s smirk faltered. "Something funny?"Elowen tilted her head, her gaze locking onto the woman’s with unsettling calm. "You’re right about one thing, Martha."Martha’s brow arched in amusement."You’re good at eliminating problems."Elowen’s eyes turned to steel. "Too bad you never realized you’re mine."A flicker of confusion crossed Mrs. Martha’s face before Elowen moved.The gunshot shattered the silence.Martha’s smirk didn’t even have time to fade before the bullet slammed into her skull. Blood splattered across the cracked concrete walls as she crumpled, her body

    Elowen’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as she stared at the blinking red dot on her phone screen. The tracker had stopped moving. An abandoned building deep in the forest. Her gut twisted. That’s where Seraphina is.She took a steady breath and killed the engine. The line of black SUVs behind her followed suit, their headlights cutting through the thick fog. The air smelled damp, the scent of pine mixing with something metallic something off.As Elowen stepped out of her Lamborghini Aventador, a dozen guards followed, moving with sharp precision. Their black suits blended with the night, silent shadows awaiting orders. Her pulse was steady, but beneath it, rage simmered."Surround the building," she commanded, her voice low but firm.The men split instantly, disappearing into the darkness, their training evident in the way they moved no wasted steps, no hesitation.Elowen adjusted the gun holster beneath her coat. She wouldn’t leave without Seraphina.With a flick of her wrist,

    Elowen’s heels clicked against the marble floor as she paced in her office, her mind racing. Her hands trembled slightly as she clenched her phone, her heartbeat thrumming in her ears. Seraphina was in danger. And if there was one thing Elowen couldn’t stand, it was feeling helpless.She took a deep breath and dialed Lysander’s number.The call barely rang twice before he answered. "I was just about to call you," he said, his voice carrying its usual smoothness.Elowen forced a smirk. "Yeah? But I called first.""Touché, my love," he teased, but there was an edge to his voice, like he sensed something was wrong."I need your help," she said, dropping all pretenses.A pause. Then, "What do you need?"Elowen swallowed hard, gripping the edge of her desk. "The full force of your guards."Another pause. She could hear Lysander shifting, the rustling of papers being pushed aside. "Why?""My friend has been taken by her own mother."Lysander let out a low, frustrated sigh. "Seraphina?""Yes

    Elowen stood slowly, the quiet scrape of her chair against the floor the only sound in the room. She smoothed her hands over her dress, then crossed the space between them with graceful precision. Settling into the chair across from Seraphina and Zephyr, she crossed her legs, her sharp gaze never leaving them.She had never asked Seraphina about her mother. It wasn’t out of disinterest far from it. She had respected her friend’s choice to never speak of the woman. But now, hearing Zephyr's words, a chill crept down her spine.She folded her hands in her lap. "Why would her mother want her dead?" Her voice was calm, but the steel underneath was unmistakable.Zephyr leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his fingers interlocked. He let out a slow breath, his jaw tightening as he spoke. "From what I’ve uncovered, Seraphina’s mother never wanted her in the first place. She only married her father for his wealth, and children weren’t part of the deal. She was a spy planted by the

    The early morning sun filtered through the glass walls of Elowen’s office, casting soft golden streaks across the sleek mahogany desk. She adjusted her posture in her chair, fingers gliding over the keyboard as she lost herself in the work on her screen.A knock at the door pulled her out of her thoughts. She glanced up, momentarily disoriented before shifting her focus toward the doorway.Andrew stepped in, bowing slightly. "Ma'am, you have a visitor."Elowen frowned. "A visitor?" She hadn't been expecting anyone."She says she’s your friend," Andrew replied.Curiosity flickered in her eyes. "Let her in."Andrew bowed again and exited. Moments later, the familiar figure of Seraphina stepped through the door. Dressed in a stylish yet casual ensemble, she radiated confidence as she took in the space around her.Elowen's lips curled into a smile as she shut her laptop. "You should be at the villa, not here," she said, a playful reprimand in her tone.Seraphina rolled her eyes as she san
