Loren’s POV

“Good girl,” Lovie taunted as she brushed past me, turning to the press.

She pulled out a small handkerchief and wiped her non-existent tears. “I’m so glad that everyone could join us today,” she glanced at my mother's photo “I loved my stepmother like my own mother, even though she was…”

Her eyes met mine. “Unfaithful to our father,”

“Whoa, Lovie has such a big heart, who else would be so close to their stepmother,” One of the reporters mused.

“There have been rumors about Frey

    Loren's POVThe sound of Rue’s heels clicking on the floor echoed down the hall. I got up, shutting my eyes for a moment before I started walking toward her. Just as she tried to shut the door, I stuck my foot in. Our eyes met and I pushed the door open. Rue’s eyes widened as I walked toward Killian’s slumped form.I pulled my husband up and held him closer when I noticed he was warm. He probably had a fever and that wretched woman was gloating. I moved to leave when I turned to see Rue holding onto his arm. “Let him go, Loren.” she sneered. “Let go,”“Loren?” Killian said, squinting at her before he turned to me. “Loren…” his eyes softened and he yanked his arm from her, pulling me into a hug. I pulled away, staring at him for a moment before I took him away from the bedroom. The maids followed me, “Do you need help, ma’am? We have arranged your bedroom.”“Loren!” Rue barked, walking toward us. “That won’t be needed,” I told the maid. “Arrange our matrimonial bedroom, and an

    Loren's POV Killian turned and I shook my head. “I’ll check on her,” I said, “But you have to promise, no matter what, you won’t come downstairs.”“Loren –”“You want my forgiveness, right? Then listen to me.”His eyes softened. “Will you listen to me? Speak up.”“I’ll do whatever you say, Loren.”I smiled, “I’ll go check on our damsel in distress then.”I walked past him, jogging down the stairs back to the living room. When I arrived, I glanced around, frowning when I noticed who was lounging on the couch. Her eyes narrowed when she saw me and she sat up. “The one whom you’re looking for…?” I glanced around, “He’s not coming.”I smiled, “E for effort though; the scream was loud”I turned to leave when she started laughing.“Are you really getting carried away by these little wins?” The sound of her footsteps got closer, and she faced me. “Just because Killian defends and listens to you… you suddenly think you’re important to him?”She spun a pen between her fingers, “I’m not L

    Loren’s POV The sound of the cello hit me before I realised Killian was playing. A lone tear rolled down my cheek and my hand curled around fistfuls of my dress. As the music played on, our eyes finally met, and I froze, recognizing the piece. It belonged to my mother. But it didn’t make me feel any better. I turned, walking away from him. I tried for days, reaching out to him again and again. Every single time, Killian Whitmore shut the door in my face. But the moment she asked — he obeyed her immediately. I kept walking till Rue’s laughter was louder than the music. I stopped in front of my old room and frowned, “Who are these suitcases for?”The maids bowed their heads. “Madame. She said she would be staying from now on.”I raised an eyebrow. “This is my room.” “That’s impossible.”I turned to see Rue leaning against the bannister. “Everything in this house, down to the clothes you’re currently wearing…” She stepped forward. “Belongs to me.” Our eyes met for a brief m

    Loren's POV The woman sat at the table before turning to the board members, a lazy smile on her face as she spoke. “Now, let's get this meeting started, shall we?”One of the board members stood. “The clock has already struck 6 p.m! She signed the agreement herself. Nothing you do now can save her!”“And who said I wanted to save her?” She leaned forward. “Or better still, why would she need saving?”She got off and cornered the man to the wall. “If I were you...” She stopped. “No, I couldn’t be as incompetent as you.”“And I definitely wouldn’t need saving.” The man’s eyes widened. “And why would we need saving?”She stared at him for a moment before chuckling. “Edmund, show the men just how shaky the ground they’re standing on is.”A tall slender man approached and shoved a stack of files forward. “You’re looking at six to seven in prison? First, for fraud, then an illegal corporate coup, extortion, blackmail, intentional infliction of emotional distress —”The man who until a fe

    Loren's POV I wiped my tears and snatched the document from her. I glanced through each page, my knees buckling as realisation sank in. Camille let out a sob. “The copy we sent and the one you signed were completely different. An insider must have switched them.”I stumbled back and stepped away from Killian when he tried to touch me. My chest tightened and the world around me started spinning. Camille wasn’t done. “Loren, they don’t just want your position,”I froze. Our eyes met. “They want your mother’s catalogues too.” My heart didn’t just sink, it fell and crashed at my feet. My mother’s catalogue? “If you can’t find a partner in twenty-four hours, they’ll take everything.”Camille hugged me. “I messed up, Loren. We did for Killian, to bring music back to him. We risked everything and we lost!”“I won’t let you lose, Loren,” Killian said, stepping forward.The warmth in his eyes was back, but somehow, every part of me felt cold. Realisation had probably hit him by no

    Loren’s POV The next day, I took a cab straight to the conference hall. I didn’t want anyone, not even Nigel to follow me. Camille’s idea still had me rattled but as I clutched the share agreement I’d signed, all I could think about was Killian. I was doing it for him and if I had to sacrifice our love for his happiness, I would do it all over again. I stared ahead. I wanted things to happen differently but at this point, I was forced to do this. First Camille had to secure twenty percent shares so I had the power to make the announcement I was about to make. It put me on the board and gave me one shot at bringing music back to Killian. The car pulled to a halt and I got out, immediately surrounded by nosy reporters. The guards led me into the conference hall where all the other reporters were waiting. I remained standing for a moment, every fiber of my being filled with hesitation. However, as I thought of younger Killian’s smile, the path became clearer and I stood straigh
