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.

    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,

    “If you lay a hand on my daughter, Calista,” Lysander’s voice was ice, sharp and dangerous, “you won’t live to regret it.”There was a beat of silence then the line went dead.Lysander stood still for a moment, the cold weight of the phone lingering in his palm before he shoved it into his pocket. His jaw clenched, muscles coiling with restrained rage. He turned to Elowen. Her tear-streaked face had hardened, grief twisting into something darker something fierce.“Let’s end this,” he muttered.Elowen wiped at her eyes, smearing tears across her cheek, but her stare was hard as stone. “Let’s.”They climbed into the car, slamming the doors shut behind them. The night pressed in around them, heavy and suffocating. Lysander gripped the steering wheel tight, the leather creaking under his fingers.“What now?” Elowen asked, her voice cracking under the strain, but her determination unwavering.A slow, bitter smile curled on Lysander’s lips. “Calista made a mistake. I’ve been tracking her ph

    “You want your daughter back?” Rebecca tilted her head, her crimson lips curling into a mocking smile. “Then make a choice your daughter or Lysander. You can only save one.”The words echoed through the room, sharp and heavy, like a blade pressed to Elowen’s throat.A suffocating silence followed, broken only by the soft, fragile sobs of little Eulalia from across the room. Elowen’s hands trembled at her sides, her heart pounding so violently it drowned out the world. Her breath caught, somewhere between a scream and a sob, her mind spiraling through the impossible decision laid before her.Lysander stood stiffly at her side, his jaw clenched so tight the muscle twitched. His gaze never left her, unwavering, stoic but beneath it, Elowen caught the storm in his eyes. He wouldn’t beg. Wouldn’t tell her what choice to make. But he was waiting. Hoping.The clock on the wall ticked, each second heavier than the last.Elowen’s lips curled into a small, unexpected smile. A cold, calculating

    Rebecca’s lips quivered as she opened her mouth to speak. “I…”The word dissolved into the heavy air, her throat tightening with fear.Elowen’s smile didn’t falter. It was cold, sharp, and full of venom. She took a step forward, her heels clicking against the marble floor, echoing in the tense silence. The only sound breaking the stillness was Eulalia’s soft sniffles, muffled against Elowen’s shoulder.The clock on the wall ticked, loud and cruel, marking the seconds that felt like hours.“You what?” Elowen asked, her voice laced with mocking curiosity. “You don’t know who to choose?” Her eyes burned with hatred as she tilted her head, her tone suddenly turning sharper. “Then maybe I should help you decide.”Rebecca’s knees buckled, but pride kept her standing barely. Her silence was deafening, and Elowen had no patience left.She snapped her fingers. Instantly, two guards lunged forward, grabbing Rebecca by the arms and slamming her to the ground. A strangled gasp escaped her lips as

    Mrs. Cassiopeia sat in her grand sitting room, the faint scent of jasmine lingering in the air. The soft ticking of the antique clock on the wall was the only sound, each passing second fueling her worry. Her gnarled hands tightened around the carved handle of her walking stick, her heart heavy with thoughts of Eulalia.Then, the front doors creaked open.Her head snapped up. Elowen stood there, framed by the golden evening light, cradling Eulalia tightly in her arms. The little girl’s face was pale, but she was safe.Mrs. Cassiopeia gasped, tears springing to her eyes. Relief crashed over her like a wave. She struggled to stand, gripping her cane as she pushed herself up with trembling hands. Her steps were wobbly but determined as she rushed toward Elowen.“Oh, my sweet girl!” she cried, her voice cracking with emotion. She reached for Eulalia, her hands quivering as she took the child from Elowen’s arms. Pulling her close, she hugged her great-granddaughter tightly, burying her fac

    As the guards dragged Rebecca away, her screams echoed down the marble hall, sharp and raw, bouncing off the high ceilings like a ghost refusing to be silenced. But it wasn’t her screams that froze the room it was her parting words.“You think this is over?” she spat, her chest heaving as wild eyes locked onto Mrs. Cassiopeia. “You have no idea what you’ve started.”Her voice lingered in the air long after the heavy doors slammed shut behind her.Mrs. Cassiopeia’s knuckles whitened around the handle of her cane. For the first time that day, doubt a rare and unwelcome guest slithered into her thoughts. Her stern mask faltered, and in its place, a flicker of something fragile.She lowered herself onto the velvet sofa with a grace that only age and pride could teach. The crackling fire in the grand hearth cast long shadows across the room, but they didn’t reach her like the chill that now sat heavy in her chest.“Elowen,” she murmured, patting the empty seat beside her.The young woman m

    A sterile scent clung to the air. Bright, fluorescent lights cast a harsh glow over the white-walled hospital room, their glare piercing through Elowen’s closed eyelids. The beeping of machines hummed softly in the background, steady and rhythmic, like a heartbeat.She stirred, the sensation of something pressing against her face making her uncomfortable. A groan slipped past her lips as her fingers twitched, her mind sluggishly dragging itself back to consciousness.The chair beside her bed creaked. A large, warm hand wrapped around hers, grounding her."Elowen," a deep voice rumbled.Her lashes fluttered. The blinding lights made her wince, but she forced her eyes open. The world around her was blurry at first—white walls, monitors, an IV drip attached to her arm. And then, him.Lysander sat at her bedside, his usually sharp features softened by relief. He looked exhausted, dark circles shadowing his piercing eyes. His grip on her hand was firm, as though afraid she might slip away

    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
