ARABELLA POV I looked at them both.Then I laughed.They blinked.“You’ve already decided,” I said. “You’ve already concluded the story without asking the maid.”Sally’s eyes flashed. But she was fearless.“Everyone can testify!” she said. “All the maids saw it! The maid was wrong!”The other three maids nodded quickly.“Yes,” one whispered. “She ruined the clothes.”“It’s true,” another said.But their voices shook. Their eyes darted to the floor. They were nervous. Afraid.I sneered.“Then let’s ask the maid.”I turned to the girl on the floor. She was still curled up. Still shaking.I knelt down beside her. My voice was soft.“What’s your name?”She looked up at me. Her eyes were wide. Terrified.“L-Lily,” she whispered.“Lily,” I said. “Tell me what happened. Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”Lily’s eyes darted to Sally. To Helena. To Valeria.She shook her head. Her lips pressed together.I understood.She was scared. She had seen what happened to maids who spoke up

ARABELLA POV The morning sun was soft through the Cross Estate as I made my way downstairs. The house was quiet. Peaceful. Some servants who came across either bow or greeted me as I passed. I'd had plans to go for a stroll around the pack and familiarize myself. But as I walked toward the kitchen. I heard voices inside. Harsh. Angry.The kitchen door was slightly open.Then I heard a cry. Small. Painful.I pushed the door open.And froze.Sally stood in the middle of the kitchen. Her face was twisted with cruelty. Beside her were three other maids. They surrounded a young girl—maybe sixteen, seventeen. She was on the floor, curled into a ball, her arms wrapped around her head.One of them had planted a foot beside the girl’s hand, while another shoved her shoulder whenever she tried to sit up.The girl’s face was red from crying.“Stupid girl,” Sally hissed. “You think you can ruin Miss Valeria’s clothes and get away with it?”“I didn’t—“ the girl gasped. “I didn’t do it—““Liar!”

KAEL POV The construction site was loud with the sound of machinery, shouting workers, and metal striking stone.I stood near the edge of the site, speaking on the phone while I watched the workers move steel beams into place. Peter and Levi stood beside me, waiting for my call to end.“No, I do not want the eastern wing delayed again,” I growled into the phone. “The materials were delivered two days ago. Find out why the work has stopped and have it fixed before sunset.”The person on the other end of the line said some excuses. My jaw tightened. “I do not care about the cost. I want the work done.”I ended the call.Caiden came running across the site toward us. He stopped when he saw me still holding my phone and waited without speaking. His expression made it clear that he had something urgent to tell me.I looked at the workers for a moment longer, then turned away from the construction area.“What is it?” I snapped irritably. Caiden glanced at the site. “It can wait until we

ARABELLA POV Mr. Hales turned his laptop toward me.That was when I saw it.The company forum was open, and my design was displayed at the top of the page. It had been posted for everyone in the company to see and had spread across the city. The comments were already pouring in so quickly that I struggled to read them all.“Who drew this?”“This is Aurelia’s style!”“Wasn’t Aurelia dead?”“This is a masterpiece!” “Who is this person?”“Our company need to find them!”“This could be the next Aurelia!”I stared at the screen without flinching.Mr. Hales looked at me. His hands were shaking.“I only meant to send it to your aunt,” he whispered. “I did not mean to post it for everyone. I thought I was sharing it privately.”I looked at the screen again. The comments kept appearing, and the number of people viewing the post continued to rise.I leaned back in my chair and took a sip of my coffee. “Well,” I said, “so much for taking things slowly.”Mr. Hales looked stricken. “I am truly s

ARABELLA POV For a moment, I felt the old fear rising inside me. Jayden was staring as if he had caught me somewhere I did not belong. In the past, that look would have made me lower my eyes and wonder what I had done wrong.But I was not that girl anymore.I lifted my chin.“Hello, Jayden,” I said. My voice was calm and cold.He stared at me, still struggling to make sense of what he was seeing. “Arabella. What are you doing here? Why are you—” His gaze travelled over my clothes. “You look…”He stopped before finishing.I smiled. It was a small, dangerous smile. “I look what?”Jayden swallowed. “Different.”Good. “I have a meeting,” I said. “If you will excuse me.”I turned and walked toward the executive elevator. The doors were gold. The buttons were polished. This was not for ordinary people.Jayden’s hand shot out. He grabbed my arm.“You can’t use that elevator,” he said. His voice was sharp. “That’s for the CEO only.”I looked at his hand on my arm. Then I looked at his face.

ARABELLA POV The Cross mansion was still waking up when I finished dressing up. Servants were moving quietly through the halls, and the morning sun had just begun to shine through the tall windows. I had somewhere to be. Aunt Selene had set up a meeting for me. Someone important. Someone who could help me.I grabbed my bag and walked toward the door.It opened before I could reach it.A woman stood there. Young. Maybe twenty-five. She wore a maid’s uniform, but she didn’t look like a maid. She looked like a snake. Her eyes swept around my room. Slow. Greedy. Like she was already deciding what she would take when I was gone.“My name is Sally,” she introduced. Her voice was loud. Arrogant. “I was assigned to you by Mrs. Helena to see to everything you might need. You should be grateful.”I looked at her for a moment. Helena.Of course. Helena had sent her. I knew she wanted someone to watch my movements and report back to her. Perhaps she thought a maid could control where I went, w
