A famous editor from Lune Mode stepped into her path, clutching her designer clutch like it might fly away if she didn’t grip it hard enough. “Darling, that was revolutionary. I haven’t seen a collection that bold and sensual since Windsor’s early years. I must get the exclusive on your next line.”

“I’m honored,” Sarah said, already sidestepping. “But for now, we’re committed to in house content through Blake Media Holdings.”

Each answer was the same.

Each decline delivered with grace.

Each proposal deflected without arrogance, but with a poise that asserted her position clearly: She wasn’t desperate for the industry. The industry was desperate for her.

And all the while, Alexander walked silently beside her.

A quiet shadow to her shining light.

He didn’t mind.

In fact, he seemed... content. Every glance from the crowd, every stare of awe, every whisper that mentioned “Sarah” and “genius” and “how did we not see it before”, he took it in stride. His pride was personal. Private.

Is Gerald going to kidnap Sarah? Or he wants Sarah so that he can gain the power? Gerald is really a dangerous man. I hope Sarah is fully protected and safe.

    The crowd inside the grand showroom hadn’t thinned much, even though the show had long since ended. People lingered, hoping for one last word with Sarah, one final moment to tie themselves to the name that had shaken the industry overnight, Mountain Rose.Alexander opened the door to the sleek, black Rolls Royce waiting at the curb, ushering her in with one hand protectively on the small of her back.He followed right after, settling beside her as the driver closed the door and slipped into the front seat.The interior of the car was warm, quiet, and dimly lit. For the first time all night, they were alone.Alexander reached out and gently took her hand in his, his thumb brushing over her knuckles with a tender, reverent touch. He turned to face her fully, dark eyes reflecting both pride and awe.“Sarah,” he said, his voice low and sincere, “you’ve always been extraordinary. But tonight… tonight, you were unforgettable.”Sarah blinked at him, tired but glowing. “You think so?”“I know

    Sarah looked at the car again, her chest tightening, not with stress, but something warmer. Deeper.“And,” Alexander added, tilting his head, “that’s just the first part.”She turned back to him again, eyes narrowing playfully. “There’s more?”He stepped a little closer, gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear before reaching into his jacket and pulling out a black envelope. The gold foil seal shimmered under the light.He placed it in her hand with a look so full of pride and affection, Sarah momentarily forgot to breathe.She broke the seal and unfolded the paper inside.It took her a moment to process what she was reading. Then her breath hitched.“A… building?”Alexander nodded. “Not just any building. A ten story skyscraper in the heart of the city center. Prime location. It’s officially under your name now, both legally and publicly. The deed is in there.”Her fingers trembled slightly as she read over the paperwork again, her voice barely above a whisper. “You got me a

    Beatrice’s breath caught.She paused the video as her hands trembled slightly, not from fear, but from something closer to shock.It was one thing to suspect that Cecilia was reckless. But this?This was dangerous. This was vindictive. This… was the woman she had once believed worthy of standing beside her son.She turned back toward the table where the jewelry box still sat unopened. Almost cautiously now, she lifted the lid.Inside, nestled in a velvet interior, was a breathtaking piece, a custom Mountain Rose pendant, shimmering with rare pink diamonds in the shape of a blooming rose, its petals layered in exquisite detail with white gold and tiny sapphires.It was elegance and precision personified. The craftsmanship was undeniable. The piece looked priceless. It felt priceless.Beatrice blinked, unable to deny the surge of awe that struck her in that moment.She had seen dozens of designers over the years. She had worn the most sought after pieces in the world.But this?This was

    Social media was on fire:@luxuryinsider: “Sarah Blake built a fashion empire in silence and shook the world in one night. Respect. #MountainRoseQueen”@VOGUENow: “Last night’s fashion show wasn’t just a runway event. It was a coronation. Sarah Blake didn’t just step into the spotlight, she owned it. #SarahBlake #PowerCouple”@fashiontalesmag: “From whispers to headlines, Sarah Blake proves she’s not just the wife of a billionaire. She’s the mind behind the magic.”@gossiphour: “Cecilia and Victoria WHO? Sarah Blake just gave elite society their biggest wake up call yet. We stan!”Even critics had to admit it: the woman who was once called the “quiet Blake wife” had stunned them all. Her designs, her execution, and her ability to dominate the narrative made her a sensation overnight.Back at the Blake mansion, the breakfast room was unusually quiet, except for the soft rustle of newspapers and the occasional vibration of phones lighting up with alerts.Alexander sat at the table in a

    Tears spilled quietly down her cheeks, but she made no effort to wipe them away. “You will always be my parents. No title, no inheritance, no revelation will ever change that.”A quiet moment passed. The trees swayed, and the sunlight filtered through the branches in dappled patterns.“I hope you’re proud,” she said softly, almost like a prayer. “Because I wouldn’t have gotten here without you. I wouldn’t be me without you.”A robin landed on the edge of one of the headstones, tilting its head as if in curiosity before letting out a single, sharp chirp.Sarah laughed gently, her heart swelling. “I’ll take that as a yes.”She lingered there a little longer, talking softly, about the show, about Raven, about the drama with Beatrice and Victoria and Cecilia. About the headlines and the praise and the new world opening up at her feet.But beneath it all, she just talked like a daughter would to the only parents she’d ever known.Finally, as the sun began its slow descent, Sarah rose to he

    The first time he met her, she had been bleeding and scared, caught in the web of Gerald’s cruel intentions.She hadn’t even cried. She had just looked at him with those storm lit eyes, unflinching, unreadable, and whispered, “I’m not dying today.”He had underestimated her then.Even now, he wasn’t sure why he had stepped in. It wasn’t like him to involve himself unless it served a purpose. But something about Sarah had made him move.Something about her screamed of survival and secrets. And when he had discovered, much later, that she was Alexander’s wife, the irony hadn’t been lost on him.She was exactly the kind of woman he could never have.And yet.Now, after all this time, seeing her again, this time not as a victim, but as a queen in her own right, it stirred something in him he didn’t like.Something dangerous.She belonged to Alexander.He had no business even thinking about her.And yet, his eyes had betrayed him before he could stop them.The softness in her gaze as she l

    Victoria’s mouth twisted into a cruel grin. “You think she’ll come back? After what you did? After you discarded her like she was disposable? She won’t save you.”Richard’s voice sharpened. “And you, you will not sabotage this family any further.”Eleanor added, “If you can't stand to see Sarah succeed, then perhaps it's best you stay out of the way entirely.”Victoria stood frozen, her face flushing with humiliation and fury. Then something in her eyes shifted.Her pride had been gutted, her false sense of superiority shattered. And now, only something darker remained, something unhinged.“She’ll fall,” she muttered. “No matter how high she climbs… she’ll fall. And when she does, I’ll be there to watch.”Richard stared at her, stunned. “What are you saying?”Victoria didn’t answer.She just turned and stormed out of the room, rage simmering beneath her skin like molten fire.As the door slammed behind her, the Caldwells looked at each other, dread creeping into their bones.Because t

    The man offered no name. Instead, he slipped a sleek black card into her hand.There was no writing on it. No number. Just an embossed serpent coiled around a rose.Victoria's eyes narrowed. That symbol. It stirred something at the back of her mind, something she’d seen once in a document in her father’s office. Something that whispered trouble.“You have three minutes to decide,” the man said smoothly. “The invitation won’t be extended again.”He began to turn away, already moving through the crowd as if certain she would follow.And Victoria?She hesitated, for just a second.Then she clutched the card tighter, heart pounding with something she hadn’t felt in days: possibility.If this was what she suspected, if the man behind this wanted a word, it meant Sarah wasn’t as untouchable as everyone thought. And maybe… just maybe, there was still a play left on the board.Straightening her spine, Victoria pushed past the crowd and followed him into the dark.The night air was sharp and c

    Gerald’s world had flipped, literally and figuratively.The scent of leaking gasoline still clung to his shredded suit.His once polished shoes were coated in blood and gravel, and his jaw ached with every breath he took.The crash had thrown him like a ragdoll, flinging his body into a ditch after his vehicle, tires blown out from a desperate chase, had careened off the hillside road.He’d blacked out for a moment. Maybe more.But when he came to, it wasn’t mercy that greeted him.It was Darius.He’d heard the boots crunching over leaves and dirt long before the shadows finally stretched toward him.Then came the firm grip of gloved hands dragging his broken form to a clearing, rifles trained on him, and a half circle of men in black combat gear standing like a wall of death.And at the center of it all, Darius.Pristine as ever, yet colder than a winter grave.Darius stood tall, hands behind his back, his expression unreadable as he stared down at the bloodied man in front of him.G

    Sarah turned slowly to Alexander, her hand still pressed to her mouth. “We’re… we’re going to have a baby.”His eyes glistened with fresh tears, shock, joy, fear, all colliding in one single breath.He reached out to cradle her face with both hands, his broken leg momentarily forgotten.A baby.A child made from chaos and pain, love and survival.“I don’t deserve this,” he whispered hoarsely. “Not after everything I’ve done. Not after I almost lost you.”“You didn’t lose me,” she whispered back. “And you won’t. Not now. Not ever.”He kissed her forehead, resting there for a long moment, his tears soaking into her hair. “I swear I’ll protect both of you. Even if I can’t walk. Even if I have to crawl to the ends of the earth, Sarah.”She laughed through her tears, arms wrapping around him tighter than ever. “Then we’ll crawl together. And when we’re ready… we’ll run.”They held each other in the stillness of that room, at the beginning of something even greater.A heartbeat they hadn’t

    Sarah stayed curled in Alexander’s arms for a long moment, breathing him in like he was the only tether keeping her from floating away.His hand cradled the back of her head, his chest rising and falling in unsteady waves as if he still couldn’t believe she was real, that she was here.But then her eyes drifted down.Her gaze locked on the white sheets, crumpled and slightly lifted around his lower half.Something tugged at her memory, the shot.The sharp crack of a bullet.The sight of him falling behind her as she ran, screaming his name. Her stomach twisted.She leaned back slightly, her hand moving instinctively to the edge of the blanket, brushing against the thick padding of a cast beneath.Her voice was soft. “You were shot… I remember… I...”Alexander caught her hand gently, pressing it to his lips. “It’s okay. I’m here.”But Sarah’s heart had already begun to race again. “You were limping… and I saw… but I didn’t know it was this bad.” Her eyes darted toward the crutches now

    The first thing Sarah registered was the scent of antiseptic, clean, sharp, and nauseating.Then came the ache. Deep in her bones. In her chest. In the marrow of her soul.She stirred, her fingers twitching over crisp hospital sheets as her body shifted ever so slightly, and her mind scrambled to catch up.She wasn’t tied down. She wasn’t cold anymore. She wasn’t in that dark room. That house. That… nightmare.She was safe.Or… something like it.Her eyes fluttered open slowly, lashes damp from tears she hadn’t even known she’d been crying.The ceiling was a sterile white blur. The walls hummed faintly with distant activity, soft footfalls, medical monitors, the low murmur of conversation somewhere outside the door.But none of it mattered.Because he wasn’t there.And without him, none of this felt real.Her lips parted, cracked and dry, and she tried to speak. Tried to push out the name that had lived on the edge of every prayer she'd whispered during captivity.It came out broken a

    Alexander turned his head, his eyes bloodshot and glistening. “I’ll be a burden now. She’ll never say it, but I’ll see it in her eyes. Pity. Guilt. I’d rather she hate me than pity me.”“She’s not that kind of woman,” Darius said firmly.A pause. Then Alexander swallowed hard and asked the question that had been clawing at him since the moment the doctor said the word paralysis.“What if she stays… just because she thinks she owes me?”Darius’s brow furrowed. “Then you remind her what you both have been through. Remind her who the hell you are. And what you mean to each other.”Silence again.Then Alexander leaned back against the pillows and stared up at the ceiling. “Gerald got away.”Darius’s expression hardened. “Barely. One of my men put a tracker on his vehicle before he escaped. Victoria got caught in the crossfire. Gerald used her,” Darius replied coldly. “He doesn’t care who dies as long as he gets what he wants.”Alexander’s jaw clenched. “Then we’ll burn every last shadow h

    The sterile beep of Alexander’s heart monitor filled the hospital room like a metronome, steady and soft. The worst had passed, so the doctors said. He had survived the bullets, the blood loss, the surgery. He had defied death.But outside the room, just as Darius turned to check on Sarah again, something in her expression shifted.Relief.That was the first thing he saw.A full bodied, all consuming relief that weakened her spine, dulled her eyes, and uncoiled every taut muscle that had kept her upright through pain, fear, and heartbreak.Then she crumpled.“Sarah...!” Darius lunged forward and caught her just before her knees slammed into the polished floor.Her body was limp in his arms, barely conscious, her breathing shallow and unsteady. Her bloodied hands slipped against his shirt as he pulled her close, his voice sharp and commanding as he yelled over his shoulder, “Get a doctor! Now!”Within seconds, nurses flooded the corridor. A gurney was wheeled over, and Darius laid her d

    The woman he’d secretly crushed on since the first night he saved her bleeding and defiant.“Holy shit,” he muttered.But she was already in the driver’s seat.The moment her fingers wrapped around the wheel, she changed. Her spine straightened. Her breath slowed. The fear didn’t vanish, but it sharpened, fused into her bones like steel.And when her foot hit the gas, the tires screamed their fury into the night.The SUV became a blur under her hands.Trees melted past them. Headlights glared like ghosts. The world narrowed to instinct and motion.Sarah didn’t flinch when they nearly sideswiped a truck. She didn’t panic when the back tires fishtailed across loose gravel. She was in it.. back.Back to the part of herself she’d buried when she married into the Blake family.Back to Sparrow.“Hang on,” she said under her breath, glancing at Alexander in the mirror, his head resting in Darius’s lap as the man tried to stop the bleeding.“He’s fading,” Darius warned. “We’ve got fifteen min

    The air turned electric as Darius’s boots pounded the forest floor, his rifle cradled tight against his shoulder. His men moved ahead of him like shadows, silent, fast, lethal.Their coordinated breaths were drowned out by the distant echoes of gunfire erupting from the estate.Alexander was still fighting.He was alive.But for how long?“Alpha to all units,” Darius growled into his earpiece, “entry on my mark. Hostile count is high. Primary objective, get Alexander out alive. Secondary level anyone who tries to stop us.”“Copy that,” came a chorus of calm, battle hardened voices.Behind him, the night swallowed his words.But not all of it.He turned briefly, his sharp gaze locking onto Sarah, who stood beside the black SUV Darius had arrived in. Her body trembled, her eyes red from tears, but she had not collapsed.She hadn’t fallen apart.And that, Darius admired deeply.“Can you drive?” he asked, voice hard but not unkind.Sarah blinked, startled. “What?”“If this goes south, we’

    SarahShe sat on the floor, trembling hands curled around a piece of porcelain, a broken teacup she’d stashed away after a “servant” delivered tea hours ago.The sharp edge glittered in her shaking grip.She was pale.Her lips cracked from dehydration. Her dress hung off her like it didn’t belong to her anymore. Her eyes were void. Empty.As if she was no longer here.“Just one cut,” she whispered to herself. “Just one cut and I’ll see him again.”She looked up, eyes glassy, smile fragile, as if she could see someone standing in front of her already.“Alexander,” she breathed to the ghost in her mind. “I’m sorry I didn’t wait. I couldn’t. I’m just... so tired…”She raised the shard to her wrist.And a hand caught her.Real. Warm. Strong.Her eyes widened in horror and disbelief. “No…”She turned, and for a heartbeat, she didn’t believe it.But he was there.Kneeling before her.Alexander.His chest heaving from the run. Dirt on his clothes. Gun holstered at his side. Eyes red, wild, b
