ALEXANDRA'S POV I sat in the meeting, barely hearing a word. My thoughts were elsewhere, locked on the one person who had somehow managed to worm her way into Ferris’s good books: Elise. A stranger. An outsider. She had no place here, yet she had Ferris’s attention, something I had tried and failed
ELISE'S POV I was pleasantly surprised when Alexandra arrived at my door that evening. She wasn’t one for unnecessary small talk. When she told me that I’d been rewarded with a meeting with the council, I almost didn’t believe her. It felt like a breakthrough—like maybe, just maybe, I was finally b
FERRIS' POV When Elise walked into the council room, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. She was wearing something so provocative, so unlike her usual modest self. The dress — if you could even call it that — was practically see-through, clinging to every curve of her body. I had to use every
"Ferris, please," she begged breathlessly. "I need you..." Her pleading inflamed me further. I slid my hand between her thighs, groaning when I felt how wet she was for me. I slowly circled her clit with my thumb and then, I slipped two fingers inside her tight heat. "Oh gosh," Elise cried out, he
ELISE'S POV I could feel the excitement and nervousness coursing through my veins as Ferris carried me all the way to his room. The moment of passion we had in the boardroom was unbelievable. I had never felt like that with Jackson. It was as if Ferris and I were made for each other. Ferris final
ELISE'S POV I woke up, blinking my eyes against the sunlight streaming in from the windows. For a moment, I wasn’t sure if last night had been real but my body reminded me — yes, it had been real. The ache in my muscles, the memories still vivid in my mind, and the scent of him on the pillows were
ELISE'S POV I looked at Rudy in surprise. He wasn’t wearing regular clothes. He had a dark cloak thrown over his shoulders and a cap pulled low over his eyes. He looked like a miniature spy on a mission, sneaking through the flowers. I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from laughing. He was adorabl
ELISE'S POV I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Alexandra step forward. "Enough," she had said. All of us turned to look at her, and for a moment, even Adele seemed frozen in place. Why wouldn't she? Alexandra had an aura of power that nobody could deny. I hadn't seen her in action but it was
ALEXANDRA'S POV The night was cold as I moved silently through the castle corridors. My mind raced with the thought of what I had to do. The plan was simple. I would go in and kill Elise. My heart pounded with anxiety. This had to end tonight. Elise had been a thorn in my side for far too long, a
ELISE'S POV The cell was... different this time After the attack I had, Ferris ensured that I was taken to a different cell. This one was much better. It wasn’t as dark or damp as my previous one, and the bedding was slightly softer. It also had less guards surrounding the place which made eve
GINA'S POV I stood by the back laundry. My heart still raced, though I tried to calm it. My moment with Ferris replayed in my mind—his words, his touch, the way his eyes seemed to see straight through me. For so long, I’d wanted to be close to him. I’d dreamed of it, schemed for it. He was one of
FERRIS' POV I sat in my study, deep in thought. My fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk. My mind churnintwistwd with the rumors I'd just heard. A war. Gina. Planning to avenge Jackson? If there was truth to this, it couldn’t be ignored. But Gina wasn’t the type to make things easy. No, this req
FERRIS' POV I leaned back in my chair in my office, staring at the table while my mind raced with a thousand thoughts. Every thought of mine went back to Elise. I envisioned the sight of her locked away in that cold miserable cell. She was pregnant, vulnerable, and despite my every effort to protec
ELISE'S POV I sat in the corner of my room with my knees drawn to my chest, trying to suppress the fear inside me. The encounter with Gina still played on a loop in my mind. I remembered how angry she was. Was she really not behindJackson's poisoning? Was she taunting me? Or was I truly losing my
ELISE'S POV The cell was uncomfortable. No amount of pacing or shifting on the wooden bench could make the suffocating air in here feel better. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. My fingers trembled as I placed a hand over my belly. "I promise," I whispered to the life growing within
FERRIS' POV Eden sat across from me in my study, resting his hands on the table. His newly acquired Gamma badge gleamed on his chest. Ever since Barley decided to act a fool, I replaced him with Eden as Gamma and the head of my security. We discussed who the perpetrator might be and why they want
ELISE'S POV The walls of the cell were cold as I leaned against it. I had been here before, but this time it felt heavier. More suffocating. Sitting on the hard bench, I leaned my head back against the rough stone and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe I was in here, in trouble again and it's all
