Ethan hesitated for a beat. Then, pressing a kiss to her forehead, he whispered, "You’ll find out in the morning."

Elena frowned but didn’t push.

She had no idea that by sunrise, Vincent Blake would finally learn what happens when you cross Ethan Calloway.

***

The explosion shook the city, rattling windows miles away.

A thick plume of black smoke twisted into the night sky, swallowing the stars.

The air smelled of burning concrete, metal, and destruction...another one of Vincent Blake’s empire reduced to rubble and ash.

Inside his penthouse, Vincent stood by the window, his knuckles whitening as he gripped his glass of whiskey.

His chiseled face...marked by years of power and ruthlessness...was unreadable, but his eyes burned with fury.

The city feared him and respected him. No one had ever dared to bring war to his doorstep.

Until now.

Vincent exhaled slowly, taking a controlled sip of his drink, the ice clinking softly against the crystal. His suit...charcoal gray, perfectly tail

    “Your daughter teamed up with Vincent to have me.” Ethan’s stare was unrelenting. “Now, Mirian is paying the price.”Richard’s face paled, guilt flashing in his eyes.“You can't be serious” Ethan stood, adjusting the cuffs of his crisp black dress shirt. “You have two choices. You either trust me to handle this, or you get in my way.” His voice dropped to a lethal whisper. “And I don’t recommend the second option.”Richard exhaled sharply, looking away.Ethan gave him a final look before reaching for his phone. It was time to move.Before he could dial, his phone vibrated with an incoming message.Caleb“I received a report that Elena just walked into Vincent’s house.”Ethan froze.His grip tightened around the phone, his breath slowing.No.She wouldn’t.But she did.Ethan’s pulse roared in his ears as his world tilted.She had turned herself in.His hand clenched into a fist.“Elena,” he murmured, his voice filled with something dangerous.Richard looked at him, confused. “What i

    “There is one thing I'm sure of,” Ethan said quietly. “You can't kill your only daughter and you won't make an enemy out of the Hartwell”Vincent tilted his head. “You tell me.”Ethan stepped forward, ignoring the guards tensing at his movement. He kept his voice calm, but every word was lethal.“You want power over me? You don’t have it. You never did.”Vincent’s eyes darkened.“You wanted me here, and now I’m here,” Ethan continued. “You wanted me to beg, to make a choice? I don’t choose between the people I protect. I destroy those who threaten them.”Vincent smirked, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “And how exactly do you plan to do that, Ethan? You walked in here with nothing.”Ethan finally smiled.“Did I?”A sudden, deafening explosion shook the entire estate.The guards flinched. Vincent’s smirk vanished.Ethan remained still, his eyes never leaving Vincent’s.Another explosion followed, this one closer. The sound of chaos erupted outside...gunfire, shouting, panic.Vincent sho

    The edges of her vision blurred, black spots dancing in her eyesShe stumbled backward, her heel hitting the leg of a chair, and they crashed to the floor.Elena managed to choke out,“ You think if you kill me, my father will let you leave? You think Ethan will marry you if you kill me?”Mirian faltered, just for a second.Elena used the moment to slam her knee into Mirian’s stomach, sending her sprawling. Gasping for air, she scrambled to her feet, clutching her throat, her vision still hazy.Mirian wasn’t done. She recovered quickly, eyes blazing with something raw and dangerous. She lunged again, knocking Elena back against the wall with such force that her head smacked against the cold surface.A sharp pain exploded at the back of her skull, and for a moment, the room spun. The sound of gunfire outside was fading, her senses dulled by the impact.Mirian stood over her, breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling in rapid succession. “Just die” she spat. “You b!tch.”Elena’s

    “NO!” She lunged forward, her hands outstretched toward him, but Vincent yanked her back against his chest.Ethan’s fingers dug into the ground, his breaths ragged. He fought against the darkness creeping at the edges of his vision, forcing himself to stay conscious.Vincent scoffed, clicking his tongue. “You always were stubborn.” He tilted his head, watching Ethan struggle. “Now, stay down like the pathetic fool you are.”Ethan gritted his teeth, his fingers twitching toward his gun.Vincent noticed and let out a dark chuckle. “If I were you, I wouldn’t.” He turned his head toward the stairwell, barking an order. “I will spare you because of your mother. We are leaving.”Elena’s panicked eyes met Ethan’s. “No, please! I won’t go with you!” She twisted, trying to break free, but Vincent’s grip tightened.Ethan tried to push himself up, but his leg buckled. His vision swam. The pain was suffocating, but the helplessness was worse.Elena struggled harder. “Dad, you can't do this. Let m

  • WHERE OUR HEARTS MEET   New Dawn (1)

    A few Days Later The mansion felt cold. It always had, but today, it seemed colder than ever. The marble floors echoed beneath Elena's quiet footsteps as she walked through the halls, the sound almost like a whisper, a shadow of her former self. Her father’s home, a palace of wealth and power now felt like a graveyard. She paused, her hand resting against the grand doorway to his study, her eyes fixed on the empty room inside. The same room she had once walked into with her father sitting behind his polished mahogany desk, a force of intimidation, a figure to be feared. But now, the room was lifeless. Still.The death of Vincent Blake, the man who had built his empire on fear, had been inevitable. But Elena never imagined it would feel like this. She had never truly forgiven him for the things he had done, for the power games, for the way he had used her. For the way, he had almost killed her, over and over again, without a second thought.Yet, even as she stood in the place

    “He’s the reason my father is dead. He might not have killed him directly, but his actions led to it. I don’t know if I can forgive him for that.”There was a pause on the other end of the line, and when Liam spoke again, his voice was quieter, more measured.“Elena,” he began, “I understand why you feel that way. I do. But Ethan didn’t kill your father. And as much as you may want to believe that, that’s not the truth. He was trying to protect you even when you went against his order.”“I know,” Elena whispered, her eyes welling with unshed tears. “But that doesn’t change how I feel. I don’t know where we stand anymore.”Liam sighed deeply, his voice softening. “I get it. I really do. But if you want to know how Ethan is, if you care about him, you’re going to have to face him. You’re going to have to come see him. He’s waiting for you, Elena. He’s been waiting.”She stayed quiet, her thumb absently running along the edge of the phone. She wanted to see him. God, she wanted to. But

    And now, she was gone.Not just from his life, cutting ties as if he had never mattered. And worst of all, she had gone back to Blake Enterprises, stepping into the role her father left behind.The realization gnawed at him. She was choosing a life without him.The glass in his hand shattered against the floor as he hurled it across the room.“Damn it,” he muttered under his breath, running a frustrated hand through his dark, tousled hair.For years, he had lived for control...for power, for revenge, for making sure no one ever had the ability to hurt him again. But Elena had changed everything the moment she walked into his life. She had made him want something more.And now, he had nothing.The weight of it all settled in his chest like a stone. He should be focusing on work, on his next business move, on the hundred other things demanding his attention. But his mind kept circling back to one thing.Her.Ethan pushed himself up from the leather couch, pacing the room. He had never

    “Did you get what you wanted?”Mirian blinked, momentarily thrown off by the question and she turned back on her track “Excuse me?”Ethan’s jaw clenched. “Was it worth it?” he asked, his voice sharper now. “Everything you did...everything you orchestrated. Did you get what you wanted?”Mirian’s lips parted slightly, but she quickly recovered, her usual smirk returning. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”Ethan let out a cold laugh. “Don’t insult my intelligence, Mirian. I know everything.”She tilted her head, still trying to maintain her composure. “Who told you?” she asked carefully. “Elena?”That only confirmed it.Ethan’s hands curled into fists.It wasn’t just a suspicion anymore...it was true.“You did it,” he murmured, his voice laced with quiet fury. “You were the reason for everything. You teamed up with him to kidnap you. And because of that, Vincent is dead.”Mirian’s breath hitched.For a split second, the confident, poised woman in front of him cracked.Then, she

  • WHERE OUR HEARTS MEET   EPILOGUE

    ONE YEAR LATERThe Calloway Private HospitalThe corridor outside the private maternity suite was bathed in soft golden light, the quiet hum of air conditioning the only sound breaking the stillness. Ethan Calloway paced the floor with restless energy, his gaze flickering between the closed doors and the clock on the wall. His sharp three-piece suit, though still impeccable, bore the signs of his agitation, his tie slightly loosened, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His usually composed demeanor was crumbling under the weight of anticipation.“Ethan, you need to sit down,” Liam Hayes said, leaning against the wall with an amused smirk. “You’re wearing a hole in the floor.”“I can’t,” Ethan muttered, running a hand through his hair. “What’s taking so long?”“It’s childbirth, man. Not a boardroom meeting,” Liam chuckled. “Relax.”Just then, the soft shuffle of approaching footsteps caught their attention. Clara entered the corridor, her own rounded belly pronounced beneath a fl

    Elena nearly choked on her coffee. “Excuse me?”Ethan chuckled, clearly enjoying her reaction. “I meant what I said. Six months. No business, no interruptions. Just you and me, traveling the world.”Elena gaped at him. “Six months?”“Mm-hmm,” he confirmed, sipping his coffee like he hadn’t just dropped an insane proposal. “We’ll start here in the Maldives, then maybe head to Italy, Greece, Paris… anywhere you want.”Elena blinked. “Are you serious?”Ethan’s expression softened slightly as he set his cup down. “Elena, for years, our lives have been filled with chaos. We’ve been running, fighting, surviving. This is the first time we can actually just live.”Her chest tightened at his words. He was right. Their love had been forged in fire, tested by storms. Now, for the first time, they had the freedom to just be.She exhaled, shaking her head in disbelief. “I married a billionaire, didn’t I?”Ethan smirked. “Of course.”Elena laughed, shaking her head. “You really think we can disa

    She tilted her head, her gaze locking onto his. The fire in his blue eyes sent a shiver down her spine, not of apprehension, but of absolute certainty.This was real.This was forever.The suite was bathed in soft, golden candlelight. The flickering flames cast shadows against the walls, creating an intimacy that wrapped around them like silk. Rose petals trailed from the entrance to the king-sized bed, their deep red hue a stark contrast against the crisp white sheets. A chilled bottle of champagne sat in a silver bucket near the bedside table, untouched. But there was no need for champagne. The intoxication was already there...in the way Ethan’s fingers slowly traced the curve of her back, in the way his lips hovered just inches from hers, promising, waiting.“You planned all this?” Elena whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Ethan smirked, that signature, devastating smirk that had once frustrated her, challenged her, consumed her. “You deserve everything, Elena,” he mur

    Ethan’s lips curved into a smirk. “Only one. And I’m holding her right now.”The band transitioned into something slower, more sensual. The air between them thickened. Ethan pulled her closer, his breath warm against her ear.“You have no idea what you do to me, do you?” he murmured.Elena’s fingers tightened around his shoulder. “Maybe you should show me.”Ethan exhaled sharply, a dark chuckle escaping him. “Careful what you wish for, Mrs. Calloway.”The words sent a thrill through her. Mrs. Calloway. She was his. And yet, there was a part of her that still couldn’t believe it.A burst of laughter from a nearby table pulled them back to reality.At a round table draped in silk, Liam leaned back in his chair, swirling his glass of whiskey with a knowing smirk. Clara sat beside him, her emerald dress hugging her curves, her expression amused as she watched Ethan and Elena.“They look disgustingly in love,” Clara mused, taking a sip of her champagne.Liam chuckled. “Who knew the cold,

    “It is time for your vows.”A hush fell over the crowd.Ethan inhaled sharply, his blue eyes locking onto hers.For the first time since she had met him, he looked…nervous.Not in the way most grooms were...there was no hesitation, no doubt. But there was weight behind his gaze as if the words he was about to say carried more significance than anything he had ever spoken before.Then, his voice came, steady but thick with emotion.“I spent my life chasing power, wealth, control.” He paused, exhaling slowly. “I built an empire from nothing. I was ruthless and strategic. I knew how to win. I thought that was all there was.”Elena’s breath hitched as his fingers tightened around hers.“But then I met you.” His voice dropped slightly, the rawness in it making her throat tighten. “And you showed me what it truly means to live.”The world disappeared.There was no sunset, no guests, no officiant standing between them.Just Ethan.Just the man who had once been her greatest mistake, then h

    Liam barely contained his laughter. “Speak of the devil.”Ethan shot him a glare before running a hand through his thick, slightly disheveled hair. His chiseled jaw clenched, and his piercing blue eyes...usually calm and unreadable...were clouded with nervous energy.“Where’s Elena?” he asked, voice taut.“In her bridal suite,” Clara answered, flipping through her clipboard without looking up. “You’re not supposed to see her before the ceremony, so don’t even think about it.”Ethan let out a breath and muttered, “I wasn’t going to.”Liam smirked. “Liar.”Ethan ignored him and resumed his pacing. His mind was racing. It wasn’t cold feet...it was something deeper, something rawer. He had spent years building his empire, making high-stakes deals without breaking a sweat. And yet, standing here, on the precipice of marrying Elena...the woman who had unraveled him in ways he never expected...he felt a foreign sense of vulnerability creeping in.What if she changed her mind? What if she

    “Running away already?”The deep timbre of his voice sent a familiar shiver down her spine.She didn’t turn. “Would you blame me if I was?”Ethan came to the scene, his warmth seeping into her. Dressed in black slacks and a white button-down, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, he looked every bit the man she had fallen for...confident, steady, devastatingly handsome.He wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “Nervous? ‘Uncle, you are scaring my wife?” he added staring at his uncle Who just smiled and left. “Are you okay?” He asked Elena again with concern. She nodded, her fingers tightening around his wrists. “I don’t know if I can handle all of this attention. I'm not used to getting attention”Ethan pressed a kiss to the side of her neck, his breath warm against her skin. “We don’t have to do this tomorrow if you’re not ready.”Elena turned in his arms, searching his face. “I am ready,” she said softly. “I just don’t want to lose myself in t

    But trust?Trust was a fragile thing. And even now, with Ethan, there was a part of her that flinched at the idea of giving someone else the power to hurt her.Her phone vibrated in her pocket, pulling her from her thoughts.Ethan.She hesitated before answering.“Elena.” His voice was sharp, and controlled, but she could hear the tension beneath it. “Where are you?”She turned a corner, glancing up at the towering glass windows of a familiar building.“I just needed fresh air,” she said softly. “I’ll be back soon.”A pause.“Elena,” he said, quieter this time. “Talk to me.”She swallowed hard, gripping the phone. “I will,” she promised. “Just… give me a little time.”Another silence.Then, finally, “Okay.”But she knew Ethan. He wasn’t the type to sit back and wait.And if he was looking for her, there was only one place he would never expect her to go.The cemetery.Where the past lay buried.***The cemetery loomed ahead, silent and vast.

    Ethan ran a hand through his hair, his frustration barely contained. “I don’t know. But I’m not going to sit back and hope nothing happens.”Liam studied him for a moment, then sighed, sitting forward. “Alright. What do you need me to do?”Ethan grabbed a file from his desk and handed it over. “I need you to personally oversee the security team. Make sure there are no weak spots. The guest list is final...no last-minute additions. No surprises.”Liam flipped through the documents, nodding. “Got it.”Ethan exhaled, some of the tension easing. “And I want two of our best men watching Elena at all times...discreetly. She can’t know.”Liam smirked. “Because she’d kill you if she found out?”Ethan gave him a look. “Because she’d insist she doesn’t need it. But I’m not taking chances.”Liam nodded, standing. “Alright, I’ll handle it.” He paused, studying Ethan with something almost amused in his eyes. “You know, for a guy who built an empire from nothing, you sure do freak out a lot when
