Kayla's POV

The dream was so warm I almost didn’t want to wake up.

I was sitting on a sunny porch, wearing a light summer dress, my baby giggling in my arms. Adrian was beside me, barefoot and smiling, holding a bottle of milk like he was born to do it. There were flowers blooming around the porch, white and lavender, and everything smelled sweet and alive. The baby—our baby—had his eyes. Golden. Bright. Full of light.

And for once, I felt... full too. Not hollow, not scared, not broken. Just happy.

Then I felt something shift behind me—real, not dream-like. The bed dipped. Warmth pressed against my back. A low breath near my neck.

I blinked, the dream slipping through my fingers like water as I turned slightly to find Adrian curling around me, still in his black t-shirt, hair tousled, the faintest trace of a smile on his lips.

He apologized for waking me then said the most shocking thing.

“I just met a man,” He said softly. “He claims to be Your... grandfather.”

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Another marriage proposal

    Ivonne’s POV Hector is practically vibrating with anger beside me now. I could feel him Seething. Silently. Dangerously. And I’m sitting right next to him, trying to hold myself together while the entire boardroom watches us like they’re waiting for someone to get stabbed with a pen. My pulse was already racing, but I forced a calm breath into my lungs. Losing my cool now will only make things worse. Hector’s anger was starting to feel like an electrical storm in the room — thick, sharp, crackling against my skin. It’s making my nerves jump in ways they have absolutely no business jumping. I straightened my back, smoothing my palms on the table, and finally speak. “Alright,” I say, sounding far calmer than I feel. “Before anything gets blown further out of proportion, I need to be very clear. I have never — not once — expressed romantic interest in Justin. And he never proposed to me.” Mr. Clarkson leaned back like he’s been waiting for his cue. “But did you, or did you not,

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    Another proposal

    Ivonne's pov "Well, that’s very interesting, Miss Ivonne,” Marcellus said smugly, “because we actually came here to discuss your marriage with Justin.”I blinked as The words hit me like a slap. “My—what?” I sputtered. "With who?"" Hector went completely still beside me. Not tense. Frozen. Like he was debating between homicide and world domination.I couldn't blame him, because how was a man supposed to react when he was informed that his fiancee was engaged to another person.Before I could even start to think about what to do, Hector sat up higher in his seat and let out a low growl of warning. Lincoln muttered, “Oh, God…” Something told me he was familiar with his Uncle's temper and currently didn't want to be here. Mr. Clarkson flipped a folder open. “As you know, Miss Ivonne, the board has been considering a merger with the Mr Justin's Corporation—” Justin’s family. My stomach twisted. “—and Justin Ravel has expressed personal interest in you. He also told us th

  • A Luna of Ice : Reborn for vengeance    What next?

    Ivonne's POVHector’s eyes darkened and he said. "I will tell you what really happened that night." I honestly felt like my mind blanked out when Hector leaned down and whispered those words.Like what did he mean?! My brain was still stuck on that when everything else started moving at a dizzying speed. I should’ve demanded he explain. I should’ve asked how that made sense when Tessa had just shown a literal video of Solenne plotting with her uncle. But Hector didn’t give me a second to form a coherent thought as he started lifting me out of the Stand. Then the next thing I knew, Marcellus—still red with humiliation—stormed up to us, barking, “Hector! wait! You cannot just—” Hector turned on him with such cold authority that even I flinched. “Elder Marcellus,” Hector said, voice dangerously calm, “interrogate Lady Solenne first. Now. Unless you wish to defy the court you claim to represent.” Marcellus actually stepped back. “You can’t order—” Hector moved closer. “Try me.”
