Chapter: Chapter elevenElara’s POV The ride to Adelaide’s house felt longer than I remembered probably because my mind refused to stay quiet. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw ice blue eyes staring back at me. “Come back.” I sighed and leaned my head against the window. Why did those two words refuse to leave me alone? The driver slowed in front of a familiar street and my heart settled instantly. Home, well… the closest to one I’d ever had, before the driver could open my door, it flew open from the outside. “Elara!” Adelaide practically launched herself at me. I barely had time to step out before her arms wrapped tightly around me. “You idiot!” she cried, squeezing me even tighter. “Do you have any idea how worried I was?” “I missed you too,” I laughed, hugging her back. She pulled away just enough to smack my arm. “That wasn’t funny.” “It kind of was.” She glared, I smiled. Heavens… I’d missed her. “So,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “How’s the mysterious vampire?” Heat rushed to my fac

Chapter: Chapter tenElara’s POV The first rays of sunlight slipped through the curtains, painting soft golden streaks across the guest room. I yawned but I had been awake long before dawn. Sleep came in restless fragments, each one interrupted by the memory of Kaden’s hand against my cheek, the warmth in his icy blue eyes, the way he’d leaned in until I could feel his breath. Then he’d stopped. I groaned and buried my face in the pillow willing myself to forget it, that It hadn’t happened. I wasn’t here to lose myself in stolen moments with a vampire who had opened his home to a broken stranger. I had a purpose. A promise to keep. Pushing myself out of bed, I folded the borrowed clothes I’d worn over the past few days and packed the few belongings I owned into my small bag. Today, I was leaving, Adelaide would already be waiting and once I got back everything would change. The mansion was unusually quiet with only the distant clink of dishes and the occasional footsteps of servants echoed through

Chapter: Chapter nineElara’s POV. The next morning marked exactly two weeks since I had stepped foot in Kaden’s home. Two weeks since I’d arrived bruised, broken and burning with nothing but revenge. Now… I was still burning only this time, I knew how to control the fire. My muscles screamed as I drove my fist toward Kaden. He caught my wrist. I twisted beneath his grip, swept his legs and shoved him backward. He stumbled a few steps before regaining his balance. Progress. A week ago I wouldn’t have managed even that, a proud smile tugged at his lips. “Better.” I pressed a hand to my chest dramatically. “Was that… a compliment?” “It was an observation.” “So you admit I’m improving.” “I admit you’re becoming slightly less terrible.” I gasped, “Luna!” I called toward the porch. “Did you hear that? Your guardian just insulted me.” Luna giggled around a mouthful of bread swinging her legs as she did, “He likes you.” She sang. Kaden nearly choked, “I tolerate her.” He murmured“Su

Chapter: Chapter eight Elara’s POV Three days, three days was all it took for Kaden and me to disagree about almost everything. “You were late.” I glanced at the sun. “By five minutes.” “You were late.” “It’s five minutes.” “It only takes five minutes to lose a fight.” I sighed dramatically. “It must be exhausting being you.” “No.” “It must be exhausting being around you.” Kaden didn’t even blink. “Stretch.” I rolled my eyes but did as he said. “This is exactly what I mean.” “What?” “You don’t know how to have a normal conversation.” “I do.” I looked at him expectantly. He looked back. “…Well?” “I’ve already had one.” I stared at him for a second before laughing in disbelief “You’re unbelievable.” “So I’ve heard.” I muttered something under my breath as I bent to touch my toes. “What was that?” “I said you’re very… dedicated.” “You lied.” “I did.” He nodded like he didn’t want this to continue “I know.” I couldn’t help smiling “You know, most pe

Chapter: Chapter sevenElara’s POV I woke to the sound of a soft knock on my bedroom door.“Miss Elara?” Miriam’s voice came from the other side. “Lord Kaden is waiting for you in his study.”I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. The room still felt unfamiliar despite how comfortable the bed had been. For a second, I forgot where I was. Then everything came rushing back, Kaden, the estate, the deal I’d made.“I’ll be there in a minute,” I called.After washing up and changing into a simple outfit Miriam had left for me, I followed her through the long hallways of the mansion.The estate was just as impressive in daylight. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, lighting polished marble floors and paintings that looked older than anything I’d ever seen. We stopped outside a pair of dark wooden doors.Miriam knocked once, just once while leaning her ear to the door “My lord, Miss Elara is here.”“Come in.” His voice was calm as ever.Miriam pushed the door open and stepped aside for me.Kaden sat b

Chapter: Chapter sixElara’s POV The morning air carried the crisp scent of dew as I stepped onto the front porch with a single duffel bag slung over her shoulder. For the first time in weeks, I wasn’t running from something. I was walking towards it, willingly. Behind me, the front door creaked open. “You don’t have to look so miserable,” Adelaide teased, leaning against the doorframe with her arms folded. “You’re acting like Kaden is taking you to your execution.” I forced a smile. “Who says he isn’t?” Adelaide laughed, the sound warm enough to ease some of the tightness in my chest. “If he wanted you dead, he wouldn’t have agreed to help you.” “That isn’t exactly comforting.” “No?” Adelaide arched a brow. “Trust me, that’s practically a declaration of affection coming from him.” “I still don’t understand why he agreed” I frowned. “You don’t need to.” “I think I do.” Adelaide’s expression softened. “Some people don’t explain themselves until they’re ready.” Before I could ask a

Chapter: Chapter8Amani paused just inside the grand entrance, her breath catching as she took in the towering chandeliers suspended from the gilded ceiling. Their golden glow spilled over polished marble floors that reflected elegantly dressed guests drifting from one conversation to the next. A string quartet played softly from an elevated stage, the melody weaving effortlessly through the gentle hum of laughter and clinking champagne glasses.She had seen places like this only in magazines but never had she imagined standing in one.“You stopped walking.” Deandre’s amused voice pulled her back to reality.Amani glanced up at him with an embarrassed smile.“I was… appreciating the architecture.”“You’ve been appreciating it for almost a minute.”She laughed quietly.“I don’t want to trip.”“You won’t.”His arm remained offered to her.“You’ve got me.”Heat crept into her cheeks as she slipped her hand back around his arm.Tonight, Deandre looked every bit the gentleman the magazines loved to photogra

Chapter: Chapter 7“I have nothing to wear.” Amani stood in the middle of the apartment, surrounded by dresses she’d rejected in under five minutes. They were either too plain or too formal. The third made her look, according to Liya, “like a disappointed substitute teacher.” “I do not.” “You absolutely do.” Amani tossed the dress onto the bed with a sigh. “I don’t even know why I’m stressing over this. It’s just an event.” Liya stopped folding clothes and stared at her. “Just an event?” She walked over, placing both hands on Amani’s shoulders. “This isn’t your department’s end of year dinner. This is the Founder Gala.” “I know.” “No, you don’t.” Liya released her dramatically and began pacing. “The Founder Gala is where billionaires pretend to be humble, celebrities pretend they aren’t famous, and politicians pretend they’re honest, it is a big deal ani.” “You’re exaggerating.” Amani laughed. “I wish.” Liya held up the black invitation. “This invitation is harder to get

Chapter: Chapter 6The morning sun filtered through the glass walls of Vaughn Group’s executive floor. Andre sat opposite Avan, a contract open in front of him. He’d been staring at the same page for nearly ten minutes. “You’ve read that paragraph four times.” “I have?” Dre said finally looking up. “You’ve been distracted since yesterday.” “I’m fine.” “No, you’re not.” Avan chuckled taking a sip of his coffee. Dre groaned, closed his laptop and leaned back in his chair. “What happened after I lost you at the gala? I came back and Amani had disappeared.” Dre hesitated before he muttered loud enough for Avan to hear “I took her home.” “You did?” “Yes … she was drunk.” Avan exhaled in relief. “Thank God. I was worried she’d wandered off by herself.” A strange feeling settled in Vaughn’s chest. He remembered how she stumbled into him, clung to his arm without hesitation. He remembered her confession while she smiled at him, yet none of it was meant for him. His jaw tightened. “You

Chapter: Chapter 5Chapter 5Amani had spent the last month convincing herself that avoiding them would be easy. It wasn’t. It seemed as though the universe was out to get her, determined to prove her wrong in every way possible.The first week had been peaceful. She buried herself in work at the law firm, taking on every case her supervising attorney tossed her way. Long hours became her refuge, and by the end of each day she was too exhausted to think about a certain award winning actor with an effortless smile or his intimidating friend who always seemed to notice more than he let on. She avoided them like the plague, convinced herself the encounters were over. Then came the charity gala. Amani had been there strictly as legal support for one of the firm’s corporate clients. Her job was simple she rehearsed it in her head, review contracts, smile politely, keep your head low,avoid Avan and his friend. That was the plan.“Amani?” A voice all too familiar called out. She froze, praying desperately it

Chapter: Chapter Four The corridor outside office was too quiet for a place that expensive. Glass walls, brushed steel frames, and a view of the city that looked like it had been curated rather than built. Everything in the space whispered control. Clarissa spotted them before she understood what she was seeing. Dre walking ahead. Avan beside him, hands in his pockets uncaring as ever. And Amani trailing slightly behind, adjusting her grip on her folder like a lifeline, head lowered. That alone made Clarissa pause. Not because it was unusual to see the boss with people. But because it was unusual to see Dre Vaughn with people who looked like they didn’t know why they were there. Amani glanced up briefly and caught Clarissa watching. Clarissa didn’t react. Just a neutral blink. Professional distance. Then she turned away as if nothing had happened. Inside the office, the air changed. Dre’s space wasn’t decorated, it was minimalist yet screamed money. Not a thing out of place. Well

Chapter: Chapter three The door clicked shut. Amani remained frozen behind the shelving unit. One second. Two. Three. Nothing. No footsteps. No voices. No Clarissa. Slowly, she released the breath she’d been holding. “That was close.” The words barely left her lips, Carefully, she stepped from her hiding place. The room was empty once more. At least, it appeared to be. Amani put on the torch light once more, as she adjusted her glasses on her nose trying to see. Her gaze returned to the drawer. To the folder. To the seal stamped across it. VAUGHN EMPIRE - EXECUTIVE CLEARANCE Curiosity twisted inside her. Just one look, One quick glance, then she would put it back exactly where she found it, no one would ever know. Amani reached for the folder and finally she opened it. The first page revealed a list of names. The second page held financial statements. The third… A photograph slipped loose and drifted to the floor. “Oh no.” She crouched immediately. The photograph s
