Chapter: CHAPTER 174: From Stripper to Mrs. HarringtonSabrina's POVI've always believed my life was nothing but a sad reality TV show, one tragedy after another, each season more heartbreaking than the last. I'd tossed and turned through sleepless nights ever since my parents died, carrying grief like stones in my pockets.But today, this moment, I was living my dream.I sat on the balcony of my mansion, watching the New York City skyline glitter with Jace on the other end of the phone and my engagement ring catching the first rays of sunlight on my left hand."Baby, I cannot wait for you to move in with me in Texas." His voice was warm honey through the speaker. "We'll have so much fun there. I'll take you to all my favourite places.""I know." I smiled, twisting the ring on my finger. "Our graduation is this morning, and our wedding is this evening. So what's the big deal? You have a few hours until I'm yours forever.""God, you have no idea." I could hear the smile in his voice. "I want you right here in my arms right now. I want to

Chapter: CHAPTER 173: The Truth Shall Set You FreeJace's POV"You can go back to your duties. I can handle this." The words were heavy on my tongue, weighted with emotions I was still trying to process. I addressed the security guards hovering around Sabrina like sentries awaiting the command to strike."Yes, sir." They retreated like soldiers falling back from a battlefield after their commander's order, melting back into the shadows of the lobby.I didn't say a word to her. She simply followed me into the elevator, and before the doors closed, I felt every eye on the ground floor fixed on us. The staff pretended to work, shuffling papers, typing on keyboards, and speaking into phones, but the moment I glanced away, their gazes locked onto us like magnets drawn to metal.When the elevator doors finally sealed us in that small metal box, silence filled the space like water flooding a sinking ship. We both stood straight as soldiers, backs against opposite walls like two strangers forced to share the same square footage of air.But th

Chapter: CHAPTER 172: Forty-Five Floors to Face the TruthJace's POV"Get me the file for the power plant project." I didn't look up from my desktop, my eyes locked on the financial report I was preparing for the next board meeting. Numbers swam across the screen: revenue projections, expense forecasts, and risk assessments. At the same time, I had three other windows open, tracking the shipment currently crossing the Pacific. My father had put me on that project personally because he didn't want anything to go wrong with it. Too much money, too many investors, too many eyes watching to see if the young COO would sink or swim.I'd done all the clearance work myself, approved every payment, and double-checked every invoice. No room for error. No space for weakness.I saw her approach from my peripheral vision: Ella, the new assistant Scott had hired before he'd left for France. She bent over to retrieve the file from the cabinet, and all her curves became visible through the tight red pencil skirt she wore. It matched her lipstick, I noticed

Chapter: CHAPTER 171: Truth In The Drawer!Sabrina's POV"Shooting recorded outside popular Club Eden last night. No deaths were recorded, but multiple injuries were reported as rival gang members opened fire outside the establishment around 2 AM..."My eyes were fixed on the television screen mounted in the hospital waiting room, the news anchor's voice washing over me like white noise. The headline scrolled across the bottom in that ominous red text they always used for violence: GANG VIOLENCE ERUPTS AT ELITE NIGHTCLUB.I'd experienced one or two shootouts outside Club Eden during my time there, the hazard of working in a place where money, power, and danger intersected like tangled threads. So this news wasn't shocking to me. It was just... sad. Another reminder of the life I'd left behind, the world I'd barely escaped.I simply took my eyes off the screen and focused on steadying my breathing, trying to centre myself before the doctor called me back.Skye was remanded in prison, awaiting trial for accessory to murder.

Chapter: CHAPTER 170: When Love Becomes PoisonJace's POVTwelve days later.Not every story has a perfect ending, and not every love story concludes with happily ever after. Some end tragically, violently, with the kind of pain that carves itself into your bones and changes who you are forever.My story was not an exception.Over the years, I had transformed: evolved or devolved, depending on who you asked. From Playboy to protector. From careless to careful. From hating Sabrina Brooks with every fibre of my being to loving her so completely, it terrified me. From arrogant hockey star to romantic boyfriend to heir of an empire I never wanted.And now, finally, to this: a broken man standing in the wreckage of his own naivety, learning that the cruellest betrayals come wrapped in the softest skin.The monster the world created wasn't born from hatred.It was born from loving the wrong person.---The night it all shattered.I can still remember every detail with the kind of clarity that comes from trauma, the way certain moments b

Chapter: CHAPTER 169: The Grand EntranceJace's POV"Ladies and gentlemen…" I clicked to the final slide of my presentation, watching the projection illuminate the darkened boardroom with charts and projections that represented days of strategic planning, "...now with this approach, we can hit the oil market really hard, and people won't even notice the loopholes in our financial report. This is what I call the master plan."The silence that followed was thick with contemplation. I could feel every eye in the room on me, these titans of industry, these men and women who'd built empires from nothing, studying me like I was a specimen under a microscope.Then I caught my father's eyes across the polished mahogany table.The look on his face was filled with both pride and impression, emotions Richard Harrington rarely displayed publicly. He sat back in his leather chair, one hand stroking his jaw, the hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Though he didn't say it out loud and would never say it in front of the boa

Chapter: CHAPTER 116: Something Is CookingScarlett’s POVClean and cold, the specific guilt of deceiving someone whose trust you had done nothing to deserve to lose, someone whose delight in the deception was genuine and warm and entirely uninformed."But Mum…""I'm sure Cade and James won't mind." She had the particular forward momentum of a woman who had made up her mind and was now in the implementation phase. "So go and tell the housekeeper to prepare the guest room.""It's fine, Mrs Blackwood." Ezra's voice, from the chair, carrying the appropriate note of genuine reluctance, the protest of someone who did not want to impose and meant it. "I can find a hotel, it's really no trouble…""Nonsense." My mother picked up her glass, looked at it, set it down again with the decisive quality of someone closing a chapter. "Scarlett has been hiding you from me. And now that I have finally met you, we have to bond properly." She smiled at him with the complete, uncomplicated warmth she gave to people she had decided were family, and

Chapter: CHAPTER 115: Stay The NightScarlett’s POV My room had become a holding cell.Not literally, not in the way the underground parking level had been a holding cell, not with guns and concrete and the specific cold of genuine captivity. But in the functional sense of a space I was occupying because leaving it required a performance I had not yet assembled the materials for, because the corridor beyond the door contained a sitting room that contained a man who was pretending to be my boyfriend at the instruction of the man I actually loved, and navigating that corridor required a version of myself I was still in the process of constructing.I paced.The room was large enough that pacing was possible without immediately hitting a wall, which was something, the Blackwood estate having been built with the generous spatial logic of people who understood that rooms should be larger than the furniture in them. I made use of the space, moving from the window to the wardrobe and back, from the wardrobe to the door and back

Chapter: CHAPTER 114: The PropositionCade's POVMy father was in his study when I found him.Not the main study, the one with the mahogany desk and the folder systems and the careful architecture of a man who conducted serious business in serious spaces. The smaller one, the one off the east corridor that most people in the house did not know existed, that James used in the early mornings and the late evenings when he wanted to think without the performance of his primary workspace around him.The door was slightly open.I knocked anyway."Come in."He was at the window, which was where he went when he was working through something, standing with a glass of something amber and his reading glasses pushed up onto his forehead and the specific quality of a man interrupted mid-thought, turning toward the door with the measured patience of someone who had learned, over decades, that interruptions were either worth their cost or they were not and there was no value in being irritated about them before you knew which kind you w

Chapter: CHAPTER 113:The Lies Between UsCade's POVThe door had barely stopped vibrating from the force of her breath against mine when the knock came.Sharp. Sudden. Real.Scarlett jerked back like she had been burned, her fingers slipping from my shirt as if touching me had become dangerous in a split second. I felt it too. That shift. That snap from heat to something tense and fragile.“Hey son, can I talk to you for a sec?”My father’s voice cut clean through the moment.Scarlett’s eyes widened. For a second, she looked like she might bolt straight through the wall instead of the door. She moved fast, crossing the room in hurried steps, stopping by the window like she had always been there. Like nothing had almost happened.Like I had not almost ruined everything.“Come in,” I said, forcing my voice to stay level.The door opened, and my father stepped in, his presence filling the room before he even spoke again. His eyes went to me first, then shifted, catching the figure by the window.He paused.Not long. Just enough

Chapter: CHAPTER 113: Temporary SolutionScarlett’s POV His hands were over mine, warm and solid, pressed flat against his chest with both of his covering both of mine, and his chest rose and fell with a breathing that was not entirely steady, the breathing of someone who had also been holding something for too long and had arrived, in this room with this door closed, at the end of their capacity to hold it.I looked up at him.His eyes were red.Not the red of crying, not the released kind. The red of someone who had not slept and had been somewhere very frightening and had come back from it carrying things that had not finished being processed, that were still moving through him in ways his body was registering even as his face tried to manage the expression.The sight of his red eyes did to me what his steadiness could not.The tears arrived. Quietly, without drama, without the gasping overwhelm of the car park or the clinic bathroom. Just warm and continuous, running down my face with the patient persistence of somethin

Chapter: CHAPTER 112: Say SomethingScarlett’s POV I Dragged Cade to his room violently. I closed the door.The sound of it was louder than I intended, the specific acoustic of a door shut with feeling rather than force, the wood finding the frame with a definitiveness that said everything the action was supposed to say.The room was quiet.I looked at him.He looked at me."What game," I said, and kept my voice at a very specific register, the register of someone who has a great deal of feeling available and is choosing, with enormous effort, to direct it toward language rather than its more instinctive destinations, "are you playing?"He said nothing.His hands stayed at his sides. His face stayed in that expression. His eyes, which usually did so much work in the absence of words, were doing something different from their usual communication, something turned inward rather than outward, something that was processing rather than projecting.He said nothing."Cade." I took a step toward him. "I am asking you a direct
