Lyra opened her eyes before her alarm went off. She lay motionless in the dark, watching faint morning light filter through the blinds, her mind replaying yesterday’s event. The supplier had signed off on the deal; it was a minor victory, small compared to her goal, but it had secured her foothold. More importantly, it proved that her strategy worked without Damian suspecting her move.

Lyra sat up and retrieved her phone from the nightstand. A single message glowed on the screen:

  • BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION   CHAPTER 33: THE TRUTH HE LEFT BEHIND

    Lyra couldn’t shake the split-second look Elias Hart had given her across the grand floor. It hadn’t lasted more than a heartbeat, but the sheer weight of it lingered beneath her skin like a sudden drop in barometric pressure. It wasn’t what she had read in his eyes, nor full understanding. It was something far sharper, a disorienting shock of a man who believed he was staring at a ghost.She glanced back toward the ballroom, where the crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the city’s elite, but Elias had already melted into the crowd.“You’re overthinking again.” Hayden’s voice broke through her thoughts. She turned to find him beside her with a subtle, reassuring smile. “You’ve been staring at that empty champagne glass for five minutes straight.”A quiet laugh escaped her. “Maybe you’re right.”“Come on.” Hayden extended his hand. “I’m rescuing you from a full of people who think portfolio yields can replace personality.”She slipped her hand into his. “You’re impossible.”“And

    Lyra stared at the words RV-HO7 until they blurred on the screen. She had searched every database she could access, but nothing could help; only the same restricted code was attached to her father’s name.Leaning back slowly, she tried to piece it together; there had to be a reason Richard was connected to it. It seemed the troubling of burying this file mattered.Her phone vibrated. When she saw the message was from Hayden, a small smile touched her lips.Hayden: Are you still awake?Lyra: Unfortunately.Hayden: Then I’m coming over.She frowned at the screen.Lyra: It’s almost midnight.Hayden: Exactly, you shouldn’t be working.Lyra: You’re becoming bossy.Hayden: Only with you.She set the phone down and closed the laptop. For tonight, she would let it go. Twenty minutes later, a knock sounded at her door, and when she opened it, Hayden stood there holding two cups of coffee.“You really came.”“You sounded tired.”She took a sip, the warmth grounding her. “Perfect.”“Always.”“Yo

    Lyra froze halfway through reading the digital proposal on her monitor. She scanned the first page again, then the second, making sure her mind wasn’t playing tricks on her. A strategic partnership with Vance Biotech. Her pulse quickened; Damian had just handed her the very thing she had spent months attempting to secure direct access without drawing his suspicion.A slow, deliberate smile touched her lips. He had no idea what he had just unleashed. Her desk phone buzzed, cutting through the happiness. “Ms Moretti, Mr Kade is waiting for you in the private conference room.”Lyra closed the file and stood up. “I’ll be right there.”She slipped the folder beneath her arm and walked down the quiet corridor toward the meeting room. Damian was standing by the floor-to- ceiling windows, staring out at the city skyline, and when the door clicked shut behind her, he turned.“You came,” he said softly.“You asked for a meeting.”“I was hoping you’d say yes.”Lyra pulled out a chair and sat opp

    Lyra woke to the sound of her phone vibrating on the nightstand. She reached for it without opening her eyes.Hayden: Good morning, beautiful.A smile spread across her lips.Lyra: You’re becoming predictable.His reply came almost immediately.Hayden: Only when it comes to you.She laughed softly, her thumb swiping across the screen.Lyra: Do you ever sleep?Hayden: Not when I know you’re awake.She shook her head, her smile lingering for a man carrying so many unsaid burdens; Hayden knew how to make her feel grounded. That was what frightened her most; she had fallen for him without reservation, and experience had taught her that the things held close were the ones that cut the deepest.She set the phone aside and rose; she had work to do.By then, Lyra was buried in acquisition filings at Moretti Holdings; her latest target was moving strictly according to plan, but for now she didn’t want to rush it. She wanted him to feel comfortable, wanted him to feel secure, and when he final

    Morning arrived quietly.Lyra woke up to the steady warmth of Hayden beside her, his arm resting loosely over her waist. For a few moments, she lay still listening to his steady breathing as pale sunlight filtered through the curtains.It felt peaceful, almost too dangerous. She shifted carefully to turn toward him, but Hayden’s dark eyes were open.“You’re staring,” he murmured, his voice rough and thick with sleep.“You caught me.” A slow, lazy smile touched his lips. “I don’t mind.”“You look exhausted.”He arched an eyebrow. “That wasn’t your assessment last night.”“I was just being polite.”“Liar.”Lyra let out a soft laugh as Hayden pulled her closer, burying his face into the crook of her neck. “Stay for five more minutes.”“I have work.”“You always have work.”“Well, someone has to keep your world spinning.”“My world?” he looked up, his eyes softening as he caught her gaze. “I thought I was yours.”Lyra shook her head, trying and failing to fight off a smile. “You’re becom

    Hayden stared at the text long after his phone screen dimmed to black. Then tell her the secrets you’ve been holding. His jaw tightened. Whoever was on the other end knew about Lyra, knew where she lived, and somehow knew he was keeping crucial details from her.He glanced toward the bedroom door. Lyra was sound asleep, blissfully unaware of the threats accumulating beyond the walls. Hayden wished he could keep her in that quiet sanctuary forever.The phone vibrated, breaking his dark loop of thoughts. It was the private investigator he had dialled to trace the photo.He answered instantly. “Tell me you found something.”“I did,” the investigator replied. “That picture wasn’t taken on a whim. I managed to trace the lens signature.”Hayden straightened. “Where?”“An old closed-circuit setup wired to a Vance property.”“Which one?”“The eastern facility.”Hayden knew the site well. It had been largely decommissioned after Richard Vance died, though parts of it were still used for off-
