“Why?” Killian asked. “Do you not trust me?”“No, I do not.” Elara answered without hesitation. “I have worked so hard to get to where I am and I will not trust a stagger blinding thereby putting everything I have worked hard for, to risk.”“Fair.” Killian said with a shrug.“I'll head home now.” She said adjusting her blouse today had been a rollercoaster of emotions that she needed to recover from. “I will be here first thing in the morning with my lawyer.”With that she turned and walked to the door. Her hand reached for the handle before she paused.Throwing a glance over her shoulder, she looked at Killian who was watching her. “Prepare yourself.”With that, she pushed the door open and walked out.****The next day….Elara sat in the conference room at Haye's enterprise. His assistant ushered her in there as soon as she arrived.

The cold lobby of Haye’s enterprise did nothing to cool down the anger boiling with her. She could hear her heartbeat pounding in her ears as she stormed through the building, heels clicking hastily on the floor, fury intensifying with each step.She was in disbelief when she saw the headlines barely two hours after she left his office yesterday.“Massive Shocker: Billionaire Tycoon Killian Hayes And Fashion Mogul Elara Beckett Are Engaged And Set To Wed!”“What?!” She screamed as she saw it and instantly sent a text to Killian which he didn't respond to.Something in her snapped and she was here for a confrontation.

Once again, her life has been toyed with by another person.She stormed through the building, barely paying any attention to those around her. She got to the elevator and went up to the top floor, the higher she went the

He thought back to the way he felt his breath hitched when she locked her brown eyes with his. Her eyes were warm and reminded him of hot chocolate during Christmas. It had specks of green that made them even more unique.Then her scent— oh! It drove him insane and it took everything in him to control himself. There was just something so intoxicating about it, the smell of something fruity with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon.It was perfect. Made him want to bury his nose in her hair and take a deep sniff.He remembered a look in her eyes. It was something he couldn't decipher despite how long he has spent staring into them.He hated not knowing and that made her dangerous to him.A knock at the door broke his train of thoughts.“Come in.” He ordered without turning back.The door opened and he heard that sound of heels clicking on the marvel floors, this made him tune and he came face to face with one of his assistants, Rachel. She had a nervous expression on her face. “Sir, there’s

Elara left a couple of hours ago and Killian was left alone in his office. He sat on the edge of his desk staring out unto the city through his floor to ceiling windows in his office. The sun has started to set, casting the office in its warm red glow, it seemed peaceful but his mind was anything but peaceful.He needed to act fast.He picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts until he got to a man's name, Mason Thorne. He was the best public affairs manager in the city— he was discreet, ruthless and very effective.Killian had used his services a couple of times to take down competitors so he trusted in the man's abilities.He dialed the number and Mason picked up on the first ring.“Killian.” Mason said in greeting in a smooth and confident tone. “To what do I owe this pleasure?”“You know the drill. I need news to spread quickly.” Killian said ,his voice slow and deliberate. He may be in haste on the inside but he would never let it show outside. “You're going to announ

You can't be serious.” She said, flabbergasted by his audacity and nonchalant attitude. “I didn't stutter, miss Beckett.” Killian said calmly. His tone ticked her off but she calmed herself down before she creates a scene. Elara crossed her legs and clasped her hand. “At the gala,” she started. “You said we have a common goal. I would like to hear it before I'll consider this… absurd idea of yours.” Killian studied her for a moment, his expression unreadable but she didn't flatter under his gaze. He let out a breath then started, “Your lovely sister, Ivy Beckett—” “Step.” Elara interjected. “We do not share even a drop of blood. We are only related due to unfortunate circumstances.” “Okay.” Killian said then continued. “Your step sister is the most manipulative person I have ever met. She is also ruthless. Years ago, she leaked confidential information about one of my biggest business deals to her— your father. It gave him the upper hand— the perfect step to climb above me

Elara raised a brow in surprise. “Killian Hayes.” She said smoothly, trying to mask the nerves bubbling within her. “We've never met, I'm surprised you know my name.” His lips curved into a slow, predatory smile. “You certainly know how to make an entrance. You made quite the impression tonight.” His gaze scanned her body, lingering on her curves for a moment too long before returning to her eyes. “You're a hard woman to miss, especially tonight.” “Did you enjoy the show?” “Yes, very much.” He replied smoothly, taking a step closer. She saw a slight amusement dance in his eyes and I made him devastatingly handsome. “What was the need for such, though?” Elara tilted her head to meet his eyes as a playful smirk tagged at the corner of her lips. “Bold moves for bold results, isn’t that what you always say?” Killian chuckled, the sound low, warm and oddly comforting. It sent a tingle down her spine. “Touché.” His gaze softened slightly as he studied her. “You’ve come back with a purp

The next few days flew by in a blur. Elara's team helped her get a luxurious estate and an office building back in Los Angeles. She was going to make her return a spectacle. As her private jet touched down in Los Angeles old memories began flooding back. She was here to take what was hers and she wouldn't leave without it. Her PR team has done a fantastic job in letting the world know: Elara Beckett, Billionaire CEO of Elaris Designs, Returns to Los Angeles to Expand Her Empire. She adjusted her sunglasses and blazer then put on her heels getting ready to alight from the jet. “Time to give them a taste of their own medicine.” **** “Elara?!” Ivy's voice cut through the crowd, sharp and filled with disbelief. It was just as high pitched and annoying as Elara remembered. The glass of wine in her hand trembled as her eyes widened watching Elara walk in. Elear held her head up high as she walked in like a queen reclaiming her throne, her crimson gown was a statement in contrast to th

“Ivy will be the new heir to the Beckett legacy.” her father said. “What?” Elara whispered, voice barely audible as her heart sank. The past few days had been a blur of tears and pain. She has locked herself in her room unable to face the world and see the pitiful looks on their faces after witnessing her public humiliation. Now, her father had just landed the final blow. He had called for a family dinner and announced Ivy as his sole heir. “I have made my decision and it is final.” He said. Elara couldn't believe her ears. The man before her was a cold and cruel man, not her warm loving father that had raised her. Ivy sat next to him with a smug smile on her face. Her father looked at her, gaze unyielding. “I have come to realize that Aiden was right, you have always lacked the skills necessary to lead. Ivy on the other hand has proven herself to be more capable so she's a better choice to carry on the family name.” The room spun around her as her world tilted. Her father's b

“Ivy,” Aiden muttered against her lips, his voice low and dripping with affection. “You’re the one I’ve always wanted.” Her chest stung at his words, his betrayal cutting deep into her but she couldn't look away. Her heart shattered and the room spun. “What?!” She shrieked the glass in her hand slipping and scattering on the ground. She froze in her tracks as she looked at the sight before her. The faint sound of music and laughter from the engagement party faded into nothing as she tried to make sense of what she was seeing. Right before her in a hidden corner of the hallway her fiancé, Aiden Crawford, has his hand tangled in her step sister Ivy's hair, their lips were locked in a deep intimate kiss, one filled with so much passion it made her stomach churn. They jerked apart, their heads snapping in her direction. Aiden's face drained of color and panic took over but Ivy on the other hand smirked— she smirked like she had just won a game that Elara didn't know that she had bee
