CHAPTER 21: A Dangerous Bargain

James remained still on the edge of his bed, gazing at the ground. Cole's voice reverberated in his thoughts, with every word penetrating further into the aspect of himself he had desperately attempted to hide. You will regret not accepting it. He chuckled quietly, ruffling his hair with his hand. Remorse? No. James didn’t permit himself to experience regret. He had conditioned himself to be detached, to conceal his feelings under layers of obligation and revenge. Yet somehow, Rose started to break through that armor, causing him to experience emotions he wasn’t prepared to confront. A rap on the door brought him back to reality. He already recognized who it was before he had a chance to glance up. “Enter, Cole,” James stated bluntly. The door groaned as it opened, and Cole entered with his arms folded. He examined James for a moment prior to speaking. "Are you really going to continue acting like you don’t care about her?" James breathed out forcefully, his jaw tightening. “I do

CHAPTER 22: A Battle of Choices

The air in the holding room was thick with tension. Dust floated through the narrow stream of daylight filtering in from a small window high above, illuminating the face of the captive. He sat there, hands still bound, his lips curved in an infuriating smirk as he watched Rose.She, on the other hand, was unraveling.Her sister. Chain. The lies. The truth she didn’t know yet but desperately needed. It all swirled together, a storm of emotions she couldn't control. She shouldn't have forgotten, shouldn't have allowed herself to be so distracted by James and everything he made her feel. But now, it was time to fix it.She stepped forward, arms crossed tightly over her chest. "Tell me everything you know about Chain."The captive exhaled slowly, tilting his head. "We’ve been over this, sweetheart. I don’t talk for free."Her jaw tightened. "This isn’t a game.""Of course, it is." His smirk deepened. "And right now, you're playing blind."Rose’s fingers twitched. She wanted to hit him. Wa

CHAPTER 23: A Truth Unspoken

The dim light in the holding room cast long shadows on the cracked walls. The air was thick with tension, a silent battle of wills stretching between Rose and the captive. She had been trying to get information out of him—about Chain, about her sister, about the mysterious web she was trapped in—but she hadn't expected to be overheard. A sharp voice cut through the silence. “What truth?” Rose’s heart nearly stopped. She spun around to see James standing in the doorway, his sharp gaze fixed on her like a predator waiting for its prey to make a mistake. He had heard her. For a fraction of a second, panic seized her. If James found out what she was really after—if he even suspected that she was planning to betray him—everything would fall apart. Think, Rose. Think. She forced herself to meet his gaze, trying to keep her voice steady. “The truth about the phone calls,” she said quickly. “He knows something about them.” James’ expression darkened as he turned to the captive, his

CHAPTER 24: A Dangerous Game

Rose quickly pulled away from Cole as soon as James banged the door behind him. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her hands shook slightly. She turned to face Cole, her brows furrowed in frustration."What the hell was that?" she demanded, her voice barely above a whisper, but the anger in her tone was unmistakable.Cole leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, watching her with an amused expression. "That was exactly what needed to happen."Rose narrowed her eyes. "Needed to happen? You deliberately made him misunderstand!""Of course I did," Cole said smoothly. "And I’d do it again."Her fists clenched at her sides. "Why? Why are you trying to provoke him like this?"Cole sighed and took a step closer. "Because James is losing himself, Rose. The man I know—my best friend—is becoming someone else. Someone cold. Someone ruthless. And I don’t like it. I need to wake him up before he crosses a line he can’t come back from."Rose stared at him, trying to make sens

CHAPTER 25: A Battle of Hearts

James could not find any excuse to stop Rose from going out with Cole because Ma Penelope had already given her permission. He clenched his jaw, his fingers curling into fists at his sides as he watched Rose leave with Cole.Jealousy burned in his chest, but he swallowed it down, refusing to acknowledge the feeling. Instead, he turned on his heels and strode back to his room, slamming the door behind him.For hours, he drowned himself in work, his fingers typing aggressively on his laptop keyboard, but his mind refused to focus. His thoughts kept drifting back to Rose—where she was, what she was doing, and, most of all, why she had to be with Cole.A knock on his door pulled him from his spiraling thoughts. He exhaled sharply, already knowing who it was."Come in," he said, rubbing his temples.Penelope stepped inside, her wise eyes studying him carefully. She had known James long enough to see through his walls. He might pretend to be indifferent, but she saw the turmoil beneath the

CHAPTER 26: Into the Fire

The morning sun filtered through the large windows of the estate, casting golden hues across the marble floor. Rose stretched lazily in bed, but the memories of last night rushed back, sending a shiver down her spine. James' touch, his kiss, his words—it all felt like a dream.But it wasn’t.She was stepping into his world. A world of danger, revenge, and secrets.A knock at the door startled her."Rose, get up," James’ deep voice commanded from the other side.She sat up instantly, her heart thudding. He wasn’t asking—he was ordering.Throwing on a pair of leggings and a fitted T-shirt, she ran her fingers through her hair before opening the door.James stood there, dressed in a black tactical outfit that hugged his body, his expression unreadable. He looked dangerous, like a man ready for war."Follow me," he said, his voice clipped.Rose hesitated only for a second before stepping out.As she walked beside him through the long corridors, she stole glances at his face. He was back t

CHAPTER 27: Unraveling Tensions

Cole narrowed his eyes at James, his jaw tightening as he processed the unexpected question.“Why are you asking me that?” he asked, crossing his arms.James leaned against the dresser, his expression unreadable. “Just answer me,” he said coolly.Cole scoffed, shaking his head. “No, James. You don’t get to question me like that when you’ve been acting like she’s nothing to you this whole time.” He stepped closer. “But fine. Let’s say I do love Rose. What are you going to do about it?” His lips curved into a smirk. “After all, you said she was just a maid. You can’t have it both ways.”James’ eyes darkened. In a flash, he grabbed Cole by the collar of his shirt, pulling him dangerously close.“Watch your mouth,” James growled, his grip tightening. His voice was low, but his anger was clear.Cole didn’t flinch. “Or what?” he challenged.James’ nostrils flared as he met his brother’s unwavering gaze. Then, without hesitation, he spoke the words that even surprised himself.“Rose is my wo

CHAPTER 28: A Father's Shadow and the betrayal

James paced around the bar, his mind in turmoil. His father was back. The one man he never wanted to see again. The man who had abandoned him when he lost his twin. The man who would do anything to drag him into the dark world he had spent years trying to escape. James clenched his jaw, his fingers curling into fists. He could already imagine the pressure, the expectations, the manipulation. He wasn’t ready for it.Cole sat on the barstool, watching James closely. He understood exactly what was going through his friend’s mind. "James, calm down," he said, his voice steady. "Losing control won’t change the fact that your father is back."James shot him a glare before downing another glass of whiskey. "Calm down?" he scoffed, slamming the empty glass on the counter. "You don’t get it, Cole. That man… He wants to control me. He wants me to take over everything he built, the empire, the bloodshed, the power—everything!" He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "And I don’t want it."

CHAPTER 29: A heart divided

Rose rested her head on James’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His fingers traced gentle patterns on her bare back, making her shiver slightly. The room was silent except for their slow, steady breathing. The air between them was thick with the aftermath of their passion, but also with something deeper, something unspoken.James exhaled softly, his lips pressing against her forehead. “Are you okay?”She nodded against his skin before tilting her head up to look at him. “I should be asking you that,” she said with a small smile. “You were drinking like a madman earlier.”James chuckled, his chest vibrating beneath her. “Guess I needed it.”Rose frowned. “You needed to get drunk? That’s not like you.”James sighed, his fingers stilling on her back. “It’s my father, Rose. I wasn’t ready for him to come back. Not now.”She studied his face carefully, her hand coming up to rest against his cheek. “Why? What are you afraid of?”James closed his eyes briefly before m

CHAPTER 30: A Father’s threat

James took Rose’s hand gently, leading her down the grand staircase. The warmth of his touch sent a shiver through her, but she kept her face composed. As they reached the bottom, Penelope, who was arranging the dining table, turned around, surprised to see James up and moving.“James! You’re awake,” Penelope said, walking toward them with a relieved smile. “How are you feeling? I hope the pain is gone.”James smirked. “I’m fine, Penelope. You worry too much.” He turned to Rose and squeezed her hand. “I’m taking her somewhere special.”Penelope raised a brow before glancing at Rose, who was blushing furiously. A knowing smile spread across her lips as she winked at Rose.“Oh, I see,” she teased. “Well, breakfast is ready if you two care to eat first.”James shook his head. “Not now. But don’t worry, we won’t be gone long.”Penelope folded her arms. “You sure you’re okay to be walking around like this? You should still be resting, James.”James chuckled. “I just came from Cole’s room.
