I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass of my study, swirling two fingers of scotch in a heavy crystal tumbler. Outside, the night sky over the city was a seamless sheet of black glass, broken only by the sharp, electric grid of skyscrapers below.

Eight o'clock was approaching. In less than an hour, the Syer Gala would begin, and with it, a carefully orchestrated war.

My mind worked in precise, mathematical equations, filtering out noise to focus entirely on the board. Marcus Vance was an arrogan

  • Awakened   Meeting Father

    Chapter 24Julian’s POV The heavy oak doors of the administration building clicked shut behind us, cutting off the suffocating silence of Dean Henderson’s office.As we stepped out onto the grand marble portico, the cool afternoon breeze hit us, but the air on campus was still thick with a lingering, volatile tension. Students scattered across the quad were staring, whispering behind raised hands, their eyes darting between my black Maybach idling at the curb and the vibrant red dress clinging to the woman beside me.I didn't give them a single glance. My focus was entirely on Ashley.She walked with her chin held high, her posture straight and proud, but I could feel the subtle, rigid tension radiating from her body. She had just stood her ground while her entire academic life was almost stripped away from her, but the sheer weight of what I had just done, dropping eighty thousand dollars on that mahogany desk without a second thought was hanging heavy and unspoken between us."Ashl

  • Awakened   Restrictions

    Chapter 24Ashley’s POV "Your father?" I turned back to face him, the sudden shift in his demeanor sending a spike of confusion straight through my chest. "What does your father have to do with any of this?"Julian didn't get the chance to answer.Before the words could fully form on his lips, the loud, obnoxious ringtone of my phone shattered the heavy silence in the office. I pulled the device from my bag, glancing down at the screen to see an unregistered university line flashing back at me.I pressed the speaker button, bringing the phone to my ear. "Hello?""Ashley ?" a strained, overly formal female voice came through the speaker. "This is the Dean of Student Affairs' office at the university. You need to report to the administration building immediately. The Dean needs to see you in her office.""Right now?" I frowned, my eyebrows drawing together. "I have classes later this afternoon""It cannot wait until your classes, Miss Ashley," the caller cut in sharply. "Please get her

  • Awakened   Confrontation

    Chapter 22Ashley’s POV The bright light from Lurii’s phone screen burned into my eyes, but I didn't blink.There it was. A high resolution photo, captured from the shadowed archway of the grand balcony outside Julian’s private suite. It was a silhouette, a tall, commanding man with broad shoulders pressing a woman in midnight-black silk against him, his hands possessively cradling her neck, his lips fused to hers in a kiss that looked entirely like absolute ownership.The headline blared beneath the image in bold, unforgiving letters: JULIAN SYER CAUGHT IN PRIVATE EMBRACE WITH ASHLEY VANCE.Lurii’s face was twisted in a sickening mix of self-righteous fury and frantic pleasure. She stood there, holding the screen like a smoking gun, waiting for me to break. Waiting for me to stumble, fall to my knees, and beg Marcus for forgiveness.Beside her, Marcus looked like he was about to burst a blood vessel. The color had completely drained from his face, leaving him deathly pale before a d

  • Awakened   Meeting Marcus After The Gala

    Chapter 21Marcus’ POV I paced back and forth across the polished marble floor of the living room, the heels of my shoes striking the surface with sharp, furious clicks.The morning sun was rising high outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long, stark shadows across the room, but the bright light did nothing to clear the toxic fog clouding my mind. My red tuxedo jacket lay crumpled on the arm of the leather sofa like a grotesque corpse. My head was pounding, a bitter mix of residual scotch and explosive rage burning a hole through my gut.Lurii sat near the glass bar, clutching a cold mug of coffee, her eyes nervously tracking my every relentless lap across the room."Marcus, please, you're going to wear a hole in the floor," she murmured softly, her voice strained and timid. "Pacing like a madman isn't going to fix what happened last night.""Fix what happened?" I spat, wheeling around to glare at her, my hands clenching into tight, trembling fists at my sides. "She vanished

  • Awakened   Waking Up In Julian’s Bed

    Chapter 19Ashley’s POV The soft, filtered morning light pierced through the heavy velvet drapes, warming my face and forcing my eyelids open.My mind was a blank slate for a single, quiet second before my eyes adjusted to the room. I shifted slightly, feeling the cool silk of expensive sheets against my bare skin. I was entirely naked beneath the covers. Across the polished hardwood floor, a path of rumpled clothing lay scattered, a jacket thrown over a chair, a tie tossed on the rug, and my midnight-black gown discarded near the foot of the massive bed like a shed skin.Then, the memory slammed back into my chest with the violent force of a tidal wave.It started with the hallway. Lurii, her neon pink corporate dress wrinkled, her body entangled with Marcus on that mahogany desk. The sickening, casual weight of his betrayal echoing off the walls. The nausea. The frantic, blind steps backward.And then, the solid wall of Julian's chest.A sharp, electric heat flushed straight up my

  • Awakened   Night Twist

    Chapter 18Julian’s POV "Look at me, Ashley," I repeated, my voice dropping into a thick, steady murmur that left no room for hesitation. "Only at me."I didn't need to glance past my shoulder to know what was happening behind that heavy mahogany door. The faint, hushed sounds of muffled laughter and shifting fabric were enough for me to piece together the pathetic display taking place inside. But my focus wasn't on Marcus, nor on the desperate girl he had dragged into his web.My entire universe had narrowed down to the trembling girl pressed against my chest.Ashley stood frozen, her small hand still hovering near her chest, her dark eyes wide and shimmering with a volatile mixture of grief, hatred, and absolute betrayal. Through the sheer, delicate lace of her masquerade mask, I watched the rise and fall of her chest, rapid and shallow against the plunging neckline of her gown.Without a word, I wrapped one hand securely around her waist, my fingers digging gently into the soft cu
