Lucian’s Office — 8:17 PM

The silence came first. Thick. Heavy. The kind that didn’t need to be commanded into the room—it just arrived with Lucian Vale, uninvited and absolute.

The door clicked shut with a hush too final to be casual.

Lucian didn’t speak. Didn’t look up. He moved to the bar cart like he had all the time in the world, rolling his sleeves with the slow, deliberate grace of a man who preferred precision to volume. Ice rattled into crystal. No drink poured.

Behind him, Jonathan stood at rigid attention near the desk, jaw tight. Eli hovered closer to the window, like it might open a way out.

Lucian finally turned.

“You both lied to me.”

The words weren’t loud. They didn’t need to be. They landed like iron dropped on glass—soft, but with the promise of shatter.

Jonathan flinched, just barely. Eli lifted his chin.

“We didn’t lie,” Eli said, his tone clipped. “We honored a request from Miss Rivera.”

Lucian looked up. Slowly. Like that alone took restraint.

“That’s Mrs. Vale

    I can only keep you alive until you wake up Serena scoffed. The words rang in her head repeatedly. What did Lucian think she was? Some ditzy star that would hang onto him for every little problem. She acquired the Ravienne project by herself. She wasn't asleep like he claimed. If she was, she wouldn't be here today.She hadn’t been back to the studio since the day after the gala.Two days. That’s all it had been, but it felt longer — like time had stretched itself thin just to remind her how far away she'd drifted from the person she was before Half a Life.Vale Studios looked different in daylight. It always did, a total contrast to how it did in the night. Colder, maybe. The kind of clean that feels like it’s trying to wash something off. Everyone smiled when they saw her, polite and careful, like she might break if they said the wrong thing. But there was also an awe, one that was rare during the early days—when she came in to talk about her agreement with Lucian Vale. Now, more e

    Eli cleared his throat once, low, deliberate — the kind of sound that sliced through silence instead of filling it. Not surprising, since Eli wasn't polite and yielding like Jonathan. “Mr. Vale,” he began carefully, tone like he was tiptoeing through glass, which surprised her. He wasn't particularly obedient but perhaps something changed seeing them like this. “We have a situation.”Lucian didn’t look at him. Didn’t move. Didn’t even blink.The only acknowledgment was the slow exhale through his nose — a quiet, deadly sound that said this better be worth interrupting me.Serena folded her arms tighter, forcing her eyes away from Lucian’s face. She was still burning — from the argument, from his words, from her own mistake — but the air felt colder now. Sterile. Back to business. That was how he always liked it. Eli, to his credit, launched right in. “The Devacraux PR team just issued a statement.”Lucian’s jaw flexed once. “What statement?”“They’re confirming the engagement.”Ser

    “What is that supposed to mean?” Serena turned around, her voice sharper than she meant it to be. She heard him clearly. “What do you mean not like this?”Lucian didn’t flinch. He just stared at her, squarely, like she knew what he was talking about and he was annoyed at having to spell it out. Too bad. She will make him spell it down because she was simply sick of his silence. Serena doubled down, striding across the room until they were close enough for the air to spark. Her skin felt hot, her breath uneven. Fuck him, actually. She didn’t have to be polite. She didn’t have to twist herself into corners just to be tolerated. He was obviously going to marry Seraphina. Obviously getting rid of her once their three-year deal was up.“You think I’m incapable of dealing with it all?” she demanded. Her voice trembled, but not from fear. From fury. From the kind of anger that comes after being humiliated and still having to stand straight. “That I’m incapable of being a star?”That heavine

    Lucian’s Office — 10:47 A.M.The light in Vale Studios never softened.It hit hard, white and clean through the floor-to-ceiling windows, slicing across the dark wood and metal lines of his office like judgment. The kind of light that made truth look uglier.Serena stepped in when Jonathan opened the door.She hated how small she felt in here—like she was stepping into a war room, not a workspace. The skyline burned behind Lucian, his silhouette cut in half by the glass.He didn’t look up right away. Just kept flipping through a file, every page turned with surgical precision. There was coffee steaming beside him, untouched.“Sit,” he said finally.Serena did. Quietly.Her throat was dry, her pulse loud in her ears. She’d spent half the night convincing herself she wouldn’t let him rattle her, and the other half wondering why she cared so much about being rattled at all. Lucian finally looked at her. His gaze was too steady, too knowing.“You congratulated me last night,” he said. “

    The car ride was too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet — the heavy kind. The kind that hums with all the things no one’s willing to say.Serena sat beside the window, eyes fixed on the blur of lights outside the tinted glass. Beverly Hills bled by in fractured golds and silvers, the city alive in a way she wasn’t. Her reflection stared back at her — mascara smudged, lipstick fading, the thin chain around her neck barely hidden beneath her collarbone.Across from her, Lucian sat with the same stillness he’d worn all evening. Cold and contained. Which was worse, somehow.The silence between them was so sharp it made even the purr of the car sound nervous.Jonathan sat in the front driver seat, body angled just enough to pretend he wasn’t paying attention. Gia was beside him, scrolling through her phone — but Serena caught her glancing into the rearview mirror every other minute, concern flickering like a candle she couldn’t snuff out.Finally, her curiosity won out and Gia cleared h
