But one evening, after dinner, he took me to what everyone believed to be his study room.At first, I thought he was taking me on another date when he mentioned earlier that he had a surprise for me until we stopped in front of the door.At first, I was not sure what I was looking at as the warm glow of a chandelier hanging from the ceiling slowly illuminated the space before me, revealing a breathtaking sight. Floor-to-ceiling shelves lined the walls, packed with books. A large wooden desk sat near the centre, between two chairs. But what truly caught my breath were the artworks. Framed paintings and sketches hung meticulously on the walls. Scattered around the room were more canvases, some stacked against the shelves, some propped up on easels as if abandoned. A scent of aged paper and faint t
Mirabella's povI woke up to the soft golden glow of sunlight spilling through the blinds, warming and painting stripes of warmth across my skin.My body instinctively craved a stretch to shake off the remnants of sleep, but just as I began to move, a voice cut through the stillness. “Stop.” It was sharp, yet calm, and it made me freeze mid-motion. Slowly, I turned my head toward the voice, my gaze landing on Jayden.There he was, perched on a stool by the window, a streak of sunlight catching in the messy strands of his hair. A faint smile curved his lips, but his eyes were sharp, focused on the canvas before him. In one hand, he held a brush, dappled with shades of vibrant color, and his other rested lightly on the edge of the easel. The brush danced effortlessly over the canvas, his wrist flicking with confident precision.“Don’t. Move,” he repeated, softer this time, his smile widening ever so slightly.“What the hell are you doing?” I asked, my voice groggy with sleep. H
Author's pov"So, you're saying he asked you what she likes?" Caesar smirked, the neon lights of the Aphrodite Club’s VIP section casting a glow on his face as he spoke to Noah, Mirabella's father.Helen had tipped Caesar off that Jayden had asked her for Noah’s contact info and address a few days ago.Curious about why Jayden was interested in meeting Noah, Caesar called him over to figure it out.When Noah confirmed the details, Caesar’s grin widened. "This is getting interesting," he mused, clearly entertained.After giving Noah a stack of cash and telling him to report back the next time Jayden reached out, Caesar dismissed him.Caesar could not stop smiling all through as he watched Noah leave. "This is it right? Since we've confirmed that asshole's weakness, it's time we strike." Levine snarled, a smirk playing on his lips.Helen, who had been sitting beside Caesar cut in, scoffing. "Has he really fallen for her? Even if he has, which I still can’t believe, her of all people?"
Mirabella's povThere was nothing more I had prayed for than to find a home—an actual home where love did not feel like a transaction or a weapon. Now, I had it. Jayden, our adopted son Lucas, and Eunice had become my everything. For the first time in my chaotic life, I felt like I belonged somewhere.The room buzzed with warmth as I sat in Lucy and Caesar’s luxurious living room, gushing about my life with Jayden. I spoke with a wide grin, my hands animated as I described Jayden's hilarious antics and his sudden obsession with baking cookies for me. But something was off. Her silence had been gnawing at me for minutes. She usually had this infectious energy that lit up every conversation, but now, she sat stiffly, her hands clutching the hem of her dress like it was the only thing holding her together. Her face was swollen, bruised, and far too quiet. My words faltered mid-sentence, the grin melting from my face. “Lucy, what happened to your face?” I asked.Her eyes darted away
