Ariana's POV“Madam, please come with us.” The maids came in quietly, eyes downcast as they led me into a luxurious room on the third floor.It has to be the biggest I've ever seen in my life— the rooms at the Alpha's mansion can't even compare. The interior decoration and lighting, it all screamed old money.“Master instructed that you must have a hot bath—”“I— I'm okay with just a regular shower.”“No. We have to follow the master's instructions and that includes you too.” The leading maid said with a note of finality.I watched as they drew a bath in a marble tub big enough to drown in. Steam curled around the edges of the mirror as I sank into the water, trying not to cry, but every breath felt like breaking glass.When I stepped out, they personally oiled my skin and helped me into a soft floral gown— white, comfy, and innocent. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I could easily pass for a princess— if not for the visible dark circles under my eyes.The maids styled my hair

Ariana’s POV“Dad… you told me not to do anything stupid—”He looked up. The sadness in his eyes broke me even more.“But I don't think I know how to be smart anymore. He wants a deal? Fine, I'll give him the damn deal—”He was confused, didn't know what I was talking about— I mean, I left to see Lucien without telling him and when I finally came back to break the news, I met another tragedy— so there was no time to explain things to him.“I'll be right back,” I turned to leave.“Where are you off to, Ari?”“To make a deal with the devil—”“Please be careful, you're all I have.” My father called from inside but I didn't respond.By the time I reached outside, the sky was already pouring, merging with my tears as they flowed down.I ran. Under the rain until I reached the Blackwell’s mansion. The guards shouted as I walked past them at the gate but I didn't stop.Rain soaked through my clothes as I pushed past them, through the front doors.Lucien looked up from the fireplace, jacket i

Ariana’s POVMy eyes shot up—“They're threatening to investigate the company. The enforcement division and fraud charges.”“What?”“Elias's new father in-law, Lucien Blackwell,” he said bitterly. “This is his doing. Elias sold us out.”“They have evidence of money laundering, I might face serious punishment— but I didn't do anything.”I swallowed hard, my hands shaking. “I’ll fix it. I don’t care how, but I’ll fix it.”I can't let Elias ruin my life and extend his evil heart to my family too— it's me he wants to humiliate, let him focus on me and leave my father out of this.He sank into a chair, defeated. “Some wars, Ari, can’t be won.”“Then I’ll start one,” I said quietly.“Don't do anything stupid!”“Don’t worry about me dad, I think it's time for me to grow up. You can't keep protecting me— it's my turn to protect what matters to me.” I arranged all the files Dad had scattered on the table, carried them and stormed into my room.This wasn't time to cry over a man who doesn't see
