Madeline’s smile widened, cruelly sweet, unoffended yet dangerous . “Oh, Poor thing. I’m scared. Look at you. That’s not bravery. That’s naïveté dressed up as righteousness.”

She leaned in, close enough that Jade could smell the faint scent of her expensive perfume. “You could never be my son’s wife. Never a Mrs. Wolf. Do you understand what that name carries? Dreaming of it is laughable.”

Jade’s pulse thudded in her temples. Rage. Shame. Frustration. The mix made her chest ache.

    Madeline’s smile widened, cruelly sweet, unoffended yet dangerous . “Oh, Poor thing. I’m scared. Look at you. That’s not bravery. That’s naïveté dressed up as righteousness.” She leaned in, close enough that Jade could smell the faint scent of her expensive perfume. “You could never be my son’s wife. Never a Mrs. Wolf. Do you understand what that name carries? Dreaming of it is laughable.” Jade’s pulse thudded in her temples. Rage. Shame. Frustration. The mix made her chest ache. Madeline straightened, voice calm, calculated. “You and your sister—especially Scarlett—are endangering everything. My son’s future. Even his life and yet….” “…I'm a horrible one here?!.” Jade scoffed, bitterly, heat rising in her chest. “You don’t even know him to get to decide what he wants.” “I know him intimately,” Madeline said, eyes glinting with satisfaction. “I know what calms him. What ruins him. What keeps him awake at night.” Her gaze sharpened. “I built the man you think you’ve discove

    Jade’s smile faded before it even had a chance to bloom. Why was it so difficult? To forget… Her chest felt tight, constricted, like she was swallowing ice. More like, impossible. But she couldn’t let herself crumble—not now. Not in front of him. Not in front of anyone. The sting behind her eyes warned her: tears were too close. Too close. She swallowed hard, forcing them back. If Kain couldn’t accept that whatever they had… whatever sparks had flown… was over, she had only one option left. Ice. Cold. Hard to reach. Her gaze dropped to her wrist. The bracelet. The heirloom Kain had given her—the weight of it heavy, metallic, significant. It caught the faint light in the car, glinting insistently. Her fingers itched to twist it off, to hold it one last time before Scarlett could ever see it, before it became another problem she couldn’t fix. I’ll return it. Soon. Before it burns another bridge. Before it burns me. Her bodyguard’s presence beside her was a r

    A soft, dangerous thought whispered: maybe he’s just being kind. Celebrating my freedom. That had to be it.She swallowed, trembling, sliding into the plush leather seat. Rich leather, faint cologne, quiet authority—him—enveloped her like a promise she wasn’t allowed to touch yet.The bodyguard shut the door. The city blurred past, leaving only the hum of the engine and her racing heart.“Almost there,” the man said over his shoulder. Her stomach fluttered. A bird trapped in ribs. Wait. Trust. Or am I too tired to fight fate again?The car slowed.Her jaw dropped.Glass towers of shimmering crystal reflected the sunlight like molten diamonds.Lumière.The most exclusive fashion house in New York. Celebrities glided past, gowns flowing, tuxedos sharp, air heavy with polished marble, fresh flowers, subtle perfume.This couldn’t be real.Sneakers clicked softly against marble. Heart hammering like a drumline. Her reflection caught her—messy hair, flushed cheeks, trembling hands. Raw. Un

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 57: Release Day

    “Congratulations, Miss Miller. Today is your release day.” The words cut through the dim cell, sharp and sudden, like sunlight slicing through iron bars. Jade jerked upright on the narrow bed, the thin mattress creaking beneath her. Her pulse slammed so hard it echoed in her ears. “Today?” Her voice cracked. She pushed herself up on her elbows, eyes darting to the calendar scratched into the wall. “You mean… now?” “Yes. Pack up.” The guard’s tone was flat, clipped, final. Fear clenched her chest—icy, suffocating—but then hope hit, hot and wild, a tidal wave smashing through every frozen corner of her heart. Freedom. The word burned on her tongue—sweet, electric, alive. Her lashes fluttered as tears pricked her eyes. She swallowed hard, forcing a trembling smile. Trembling. Disbelieving. Terrifyingly real. “Good… morning,” she whispered, barely audible, afraid to shatter the fragile bubble of possibility. Her cellmate, lean and wiry, with chestnut waves brushing her shou

  • After One Night With My Sister’s Prized Possession    Chapter 56: Scarlett’s Ultimatum

    Her dyed auburn hair slicked into a tight low bun. Gray jeans hugging every line of her leg, ripped at the knee. Black top, fitted and sharp. LV handbag resting against her arm—untouchable. Untamed. Untamedly hers. His heart thumped. Wrong. Uneven. Loud. Had she seen him like that? On his knees. Breaking. Confessing what no one was supposed to hear? Space between them pulsed. She lifted the sunglasses. Eyes—sharp, cold, glittering, unreadable—cut straight through him. . . “I’ve been looking for you all this while,” Scarlett said, voice smooth, edged with sarcasm. Dangerous. “…And yet—here you are, talking to a…” Her lips curved slowly, deliberately. “…little boy.” She let the words hang. Then, almost lightly, “Sorry I had to strong-arm Mario into telling me where you were. If he gets punished… that’s on me. Don’t fire him on my behalf.” Kain stood slowly. His jaw tightened. His hands curled at his sides. “What do you want, Scarlett?” His voice was low, sharp, cold—li
