There were many unspoken words in Alexander's chamber. An unexpected tiredness settled deep in Dysis's bones after everything that had transpired. Even though the heat from the shower had only slightly reduced the stress in her muscles, a new type of tension replaced it as soon as Alexander carried her out. He moved fluidly across the room, holding her tightly but cautiously, as though she were something delicate—something valuable. Her pulse raced at the juxtaposition between this compassion and his previous fury. When he arrived at the bed, he carefully laid her down, wrapped her in a towel, and moved away."Keeping what little control he still had, he added, "Your clothes are on the bed." "Change."Unable to look him in the eye, Dysis nodded. "Don't ever do that again" was the firm command she could still hear in his voice, and she could still feel his warm touch on her flesh. It wasn't until he turned away and left the room that she realised she was holding back her breath. As Dys

The room is sparsely lit, filled with the soft hum from medical monitors. The mobility meter piano, along with the medical pads, kept Lucian alive. He braved the painful encounter that gave him a near-death experience. He lay on a bed, looking at a white ceiling, but deep down, he brooded over something that felt deeply broken.Dys liked to gaze down at the intricate designs imprinted on her engagement ring. Sometime in the past she had been able to accept that ring. However, did she think it was going to turn out to be a gift? “Give me that ring!” she asked impatiently. “I am ready to accept whatever you tell me. Just give that ring to me!” “I surrender” came a calm reply, but that required everyone to stop whatever it was they were doing. Otherwise every panel in the tower would burst.Lucian squeezed his eyes shut. He could still hear her voice. *"I’ll marry Max."* His breath hitched. He hadn’t seen it at first, but now he understood—Dysis had been willing to shackle herself to

Alexander's office was a tense place, the smell of good whisky and smooth leather mingling with a chill—something dangerous. Shadows danced across the deep mahogany walls as a fire whispered quietly in the hearth. It was a room designed for power, a place where underworld kings made their decisions. And this evening, it would witness something much more sinister. Sofie stood by the desk, composed yet self-satisfied, her tailored red dress clinging to every contour, the pronounced V-neck highlighting the grace of her figure. Her golden locks were elegantly styled in smooth waves, and her crimson nails drummed continuously on the surface of her phone. She was ready. With a grin teasing her lips, she pushed the phone across the desk. The display remained vivid, casting light on the incriminating scene—Dysis and Lucian, just inches apart, his hand poised near her cheek, their eyes entwined in an undeniably intimate connection. Sofie leaned her head, observing Alexander, anticipati

Long after Alexander left the corridor, the silence there persisted, but the weight of his presence persisted like a storm unwilling to pass. Lucian rolled his shoulders as if releasing the ghost of Alexander's hold, then exhaled gently. Not from fear but from something deeper—something raw, unresolved—his heart continued to pound. He had seen it, Alexander's eyes flickering with uncertainty, his body stiffening at those final words. “You worry she will love someone else.” Lucian intended not to say it. But the truth had a tendency to escape when most important. Turning towards the balcony, his hands closed into fists. The cool night air touched his skin, but it had no effect to quell the fire raging within of him. Dysis. Her response had combined shock with something else—hesitation. Ever thought about him that way? Alternatively had he waited far too long? Lucian shook his head at his own stupidity, then laughed dryly. At this point, it was irrelevant. Alexander

Dysis maintained her upright posture even as her gut tightened at the sight of Sofie seated across from Lili, drinking tea with the grace of someone who knew she belonged. Sofie's smile was slow, deliberate, like a cat that had just seen a mouse. “Oh, what a wonderful surprise this is.” Sofie set her cup down, her well manicured nails clicking against the porcelain. "Dysis, sweetheart, I never would have expected to find you here." Lili grinned, her look incomprehensible. "Dysis arrived for a fitting. Not bad, Sofie?”That is fantastic. Sofie's eyes glanced over Dysis's plain yellow dress, her smile growing. Great. Undoubtedly. I was simply wondering how much she may benefit from a small bit of refinement. Dysis turned away from the bait. She glanced at the older woman and added, "I appreciate the help, Lili," smoothly. "I want to see everything flawless." Lili examined her for a time, then gave a gradual nod of approval. "That's a healthy way of thinking. After
