ABUELA’S POV“Ma’am your guest is here to see you,” Catherina, my eldest house staff reported.“Make him comfortable in the living room, I’ll join him soon,” I respond, putting my glasses on.Being in charge of the family business had always been hard until I chose to resign and take up my hobby of empowering women.The family business came with a heavy load of responsibilities and sacrifices. Making tough calls, eliminating threats, and taking risks is a must. As the only child and heir to my parents, I felt immense pressure to uphold the Nyx dynasty, even though I longed to carve my own path.My life had been painfully lonely; I was always too busy to socialize and, as a result, I knew nothing of love. But then I met Pedro, and he changed everything. He was nothing short of perfection. Except he was from the lower class, and though my parents never approved of our relationship, I was resolute in love with him.Our life together was nothing short of magical, and when I turned 21, I b

GABRIEL’S POVIt had been more than ten minutes, and Kiera still hadn’t returned. Ten minutes in the restroom? That’s suspicious. Unless she’s making a baby or trying to escape— Oh crap! My eyes flew open, realization hitting me like a freight train, as I dashed towards the restroom.Without hesitation, I burst into the women’s washroom, my heart pounding.“Kiera!”I called out, but the dead silence sent my heart racing. I checked the four restroom stalls, but she was nowhere to be found.Then something caught my eye on the sink—a purse, and I recognized it immediately.Snatching it, I confirmed it belonged to Kiera. But why leave her purse behind if she was trying to escape? Suddenly, it all clicked. This wasn’t an escape; this was an abduction. I felt a jolt in my gut, and without wasting another second, I rushed back to the VVIP lounge.“Damien!” I shouted, my voice cutting through the thumping music.He turned to me, his brows creasing in confusion. “Kiera’s been taken,” I roared

KIERA’S POVI lay motionless on my bed, my eyes wide on the ceiling, watering as I had been in that position for God knows how long. I had been numb ever since, unable to comprehend why anyone’s sister would want them dead. Isn’t blood thicker than water anymore? I desperately wanted this to be a dream, one that would end with me going back to papa, to find Elise and Dahlia sitting on the couch and plotting another way to make my life a living hell. Even though I dreaded that life, I longed for it now. At least I’d be free of the crushing realization that my sister is a monster! Like a tsunami, the pain had been crashing into me ever since.I recall when Elise was ten years old, and I, thirteen. She was one of the smallest in her class and often bullied, time and again, she would tell everyone that I wasn’t her sister, but I still defended her from all her bullies to the point where I was cornered and beaten, yet I never gave up on her, but she never appreciated anything I ever did fo

DAMIEN’S POVThe night was surprisingly warm, so I decided to take a quick dip before dinner. After a hectic day filled with back-to-back board meetings, I could feel a headache creeping in, and a swim seemed like the perfect way to clear my mind. As I slid into the pool, I felt the cold waves of the water washing the day’s stress away, and I enjoyed every stroke that I made, feeling lighter with every movement.I went deep into the water, submerging myself fully while I held my breath for about a minute, and suddenly, I saw a figure standing above me. I popped my head up to find Evans, my Intel man, looking down at me.Swimming to the edge of the pool, I brushed the beads of water off my face, my legs still dangling in the water.“What do you have for me, Evans?” I posed inquisitively.“A few of my colleagues said they spotted her in Haven City, but I’m yet to confirm that rumor,” he relayed.My face instantly went sour, “You know better than to dwell on rumors. Find out if she’s ac

KIERA’S POVI woke up today with an unusual lighthearted feeling, almost giggly. I couldn’t pinpoint the reason, but maybe it was the events of yesterday still dancing in my mind.Just as I finished getting dressed, a knock at my door interrupted my thoughts. I went to answer it and found Gabriel standing with a package in his hand.“Can I come in?” He requested calmly.“Sure,” I responded, fiddling with my dress.“Please change into this, you’re coming with me to the office today,” he said handing the package to me.My brows suddenly scrunched, “Why? I have nothing to do there,” I responded.“As my fake fiancé or whatever, it’s important for you to be familiar with our companies and business operations,” he added.“Oh, I see,” I nodded slowly.Opening the package, I discovered an additional box tucked inside, and I peeled it open, only to find a phone in it.“You got me a phone?” I asked, my excitement hitting the roof.“I thought it would come in handy and keep you entertained.
